Count Northpole stopped Hydrangea who was about to leave to ask him about some more questions.
“Umm, about decorative wife, is there any reason that?”
“That’s”
Although it was a circumstance that he did not like to talk about, Count Northpole seemed to be a very cautious man. It would be better to talk about it frankly. He decided that it would be better to tell him about the troubles he had with women since he was young.
“─ That’s why I hate women. I wanted a partner whom I could make a temporary marriage so that I wouldn’t have to get involved in any more troubles”
“I see. So that was the reason”
He understood that it could not be helped if that was the case.
Count North Pole also seemed to had something to say.
“I have something to say, actually, I’m expecting my first child in six months”
Violette gave her blessing, but it appeared she said she would take this opportunity to leave home and work at the monastery.
“My wife and my sister get along well. But, uh, maybe she felt uncomfortable”
Besides, if the child was a boy, he could not be held in her arms. In addition, it’s probably not normal for an aunt to be a cat.
“Violette told me that she didn’t want my unborn child to feel indebted……”
“I see. Even though cat has no sins”
“Eh?”
“No, it’s nothing”
Anyway, he will tell him he won’t make things worse. Then, Count Northpole rushed to Hydrangea and held his hand, and then he immediately got down kneel down on the floor and pleaded.
“I have three requests!”
“People usually only ask for one thing at a time like this”
“I am sorry!”
It was the sincere wishes of a brother sending his little sister off to be a bride.
“As you have just seen, my sister has been under a wretched curse that has kept her from going out”
It seems that Violette, who was very active as a child, was sick of spending time inside the house and often threw tantrums.
“We could do nothing but accept her anger”
They felt sorry for her, and it seems that they had to fulfill all of Violette’s selfishness.
“S-So, Violette was brought up to be so selfish, and she, uh, she assumed that all men in the world would listen to anything she said”
Apparently, Count Northpole had raised Violette in a spoiled environment.
Even her late father had granted all of her selfishness except for teaching her magic.
“……”
In other words, there was a possibility that she would be just as selfish with Hydrangea.
“I would like to ask you to listen to Violette’s selfishness”
“What do you mean by selfishness?”
“Like asking you to pick up a rare flower that grows in the wild, or she wants the autograph of the top star of a popular troupe”
Count Northpole seems to have fulfilled all of her wishes.
It means, she would never say anything that couldn’t be fulfilled, such as defeating the Demon King or finding the Holy Sword.
“So, I hope Duke Laudense could listen to my sister’s selfishness, even if it was only once in a while”
“Why should I listen to that woman? Since I have servants, Isn’t it fine to ask them to do it for me?”
“W-Well, yes, but just to be sure, I will tell you”
The second request was absurd.
“I hope that in the future, when the Duke Laudense has a lover, you will not treat Violette coldly”
He finally drank the tea that had been brought to him and choked.
It’s impossible for him to ever have a lover in his life. When he said that, the Count Northpole looked relieved.
