The reconvening of the meeting was three days later.
　If they opened up too much time, some of the nobles would return to their territory.
　Cain was waiting with Garum at the senior nobleman's place.

''Cain, what are you ...... going to do now?''

　Garum, sitting next to Cain, asked in a whisper.
　It had already been officially decided by the king's approval of Lisabeth's marriage. At the same time, it has been decided that he will prepare a residence and stay in the royal capital as an ambassador.

'All this is no longer an option ....... They won't recognize anything about my intentions, so ......
You're right. There's nothing you can do about it if you've filled in the outer moat so far. Next year, when you come of age, we'll have to welcome you in at the same time, won't we?　I'll be ready for it on my end.
Thank you, Father.

　Cain bowed his head lightly and the music played as the King appeared echoed through the hall.

　The King, Prime Minister Magna, and Lizabeth appeared. Their seats are already reserved next to the King.
　When they were seated, Prime Minister Magna reported to the king.

My kingdom, the Kingdom of Esfort, has decided to form a formal alliance with the Benecitos Kingdom. We will have an embassy in the royal capital, and from now on we will deal with them, including trade.

　The aristocrats welcomed it. The nobles welcomed the new sales channels because they would be able to communicate with each other and purchase products that were not available in their own country, and conversely, they would have more opportunities to sell their own specialties.

''Next, first of all, Cain von Silford, go forward.

　Cain went forward as his name was called and bowed on his knees.

'Cain von Silford, I grant you permission to marry His Highness Lisabeth here, as requested by the Benecitos Crown,'

　All the nobles in the hall were stunned by the king's words.
　The alliance with the Benecitos imperial kingdom is understandable, but it is beyond the scope of expectation that Cain and the princess would suddenly enter into a marriage.
　It would be inevitable that everyone would be at a loss for words.
　However, if that were to happen, there are doubts that power would be concentrated in the Silford family.
　A nobleman spoke up.

''Your Majesty, why is it necessary for the Earl of Silford Frontier and His Royal Highness to enter into a marriage? The Earl of Silford Frontier should already be engaged to His Highness the Princess, Duke and Duchess Eric, and the Knight Commander of Tijuana. I don't see why the Earl of frontier Silford needs to take a wife any longer.

　Any nobleman who did not know Cain directly would think so. In fact, Cain didn't even plan to add more fiancées, and even now he felt that he was beyond his control.
　But it had already been decided the other day, and it was not something that could be reversed now.

''It was requested by His Majesty Logosia, the Demon Emperor of the Benecitos Empire, and His Highness Lizabeth has also agreed to it. ''It's not for me to interfere.''
This is ...... I apologize for this.

　The nobles who gave their opinions on the king's words stepped back with their heads down. The other nobles also frowned, but there was no way they could challenge the king and became silent.
　The king nodded with satisfaction and looked down at Cain.

''--You understand, Cain.
"Yes, I would be grateful for the opportunity to marry His Highness Lisabeth.
Master Cain, it's nice to meet you too.

　Perhaps because it was an audience, Cain lightly nodded as he looked at Lizabeth, who had a different tone of voice than usual, and met her gaze.
　With the marriage officially confirmed, the audience ended with Lizabeth in a good mood.

　After moving to the reception room, Cain ducked under the door opened by the squire and entered the room to find the usual members present.
　Cain was a little surprised to see Lizabeth in attendance as well, but he thought it couldn't be helped and took a seat with Garum.

'...... Sorry for the wait,'
Hmm. So let's get started.

　They talk about how to deal with it in the future. After all, since Cain is a minor, he is not going to marry immediately, but will live in the royal capital of the Esfort Kingdom as a fiancée.

To be honest, I'd prefer to spend my time in Drintor ....... The food is good and it's comfortable.
''As expected, that's ....... I have a role as an ambassador, and I'd like you to stay in the royal capital if possible. ......

　Prime Minister Magna laughed at Lizabeth's words, but stopped her.
　Cain felt the same way. Although the distance between the mansion in the king's capital and Drintoll is instantaneous due to transfer magic, it is because he was worried about what Telestia and Silk would say if they were in a de facto marriage.

''I would like you to stay in the royal capital from me as well. And if we stay in Drintle until His Highness Lisabeth is in Drintle, it looks like our Silk will be heading that way too.''

　Duke Eric agreed. The king and others persuaded him to stay in King's Landing until he comes of age and is formally married, and Lizabeth reluctantly agreed.
　However, it is not possible to prepare a mansion immediately, so she will live in Cain's house in the capital until it is ready.
　The king and his superiors were going to ask them to stay at the castle, but Lizabeth was adamant about that.

'It's no use. Cain, you will have to marry a member of another country's royal family. What do you think?　You'll be a duke?　I'm going to have to overtake Garum's title, though: ......
'No, it's good enough as it is ....... As expected, at my age, the duke and others would only antagonize me.
"I don't mind being king anymore. ...... I can retire.
Your Majesty!
...... I'm not kidding, Magna. Don't be so pissed off, .......

　Cain laughs at Prime Minister Magna, who grumbles to the king who tries to hand over the throne to Cain easily.

　Afterwards, they discussed the future, and Cain and Lizabeth left the royal castle and headed for the mansion.

　Cain was relieved to be able to relax a little after his new life had begun, when the sudden news of his death reached the kingdom.

　
　---- that the Pope of the Marineford Church has been assassinated by someone.

　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
