If Alto Cranput were here, they would instantly eyebrow.
Caspere Lombault El Bailefeld and Stephanus Traboro El Bailefeld.
He was the Marquis of this land and his son-in-law.
Old man Caspere sits on the chair and sounds cold to Stefanus as he looks at the paperwork.
"... I'm busy, Stefanus. If you need anything, you can talk to me now."
The son-in-law knows that the old man in front of him hates' waste '.
That's why I opened my mouth while hesitating.
"Today, I saw you about my family....."
"What's wrong with Aufsta?"
"No, it's not..."
The Marquis of Bailefeld immediately perceived the situation from what Stephanus had said.
I didn't say anything like that, and I didn't even put it on my face.
Only the sound of turning over the paperwork resounds.
Old Caspere didn't seem to want to open his mouth.
Decided, Stephanus told him.
"I, Lyusi - no, please find a way to live with the people who live far west...."
I told you.
At last, Stephanus thought.
It took years just to say those words.
But I finally told you.
The noble young man stared at his stepfather.
The old man seemed to exhale faintly from his nose.
It's as if you've been told nasty stories below garbage and scum.
Once again, the sound of turning over the documents sounds.
The old man doesn't look.
I don't even talk.
Like a stepson, but not here.
"... or, sir...?"
In response to Stefanus's anxious voice, old man Caspere speaks to himself.
"Stephanus"
"Ha, yes...."
"I know your values are far from common."
"Ha...?"
Giroli.
The old man stares at the youth.
That alone made Stephanus tremble.
There was a strange force.
"Are you stupid? No, that was stupid...Your concubine lives on the same premises.This is usually called 'living in the same place' in the world.Is it a wish that has already been fulfilled?Don't tell me there's no good in it. "
"………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………It's equal to no contact, and I didn't know we lived together. "
――――
"Hih...!"
The old man was staring.
There are clear feelings of anger and contempt.
"Stephanus, do you understand what you're saying?----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please help me. 'Is that what you want from me?How pathetic you are.I don't have the time to spend on such nasty things.Get out of here, you idiot! "
"............!"
Stephanus almost cried.
But I ate it down.
If you leave here, you will probably never be able to live with them again.
"Oh, you're right to be angry...But you told me before, my lord!If my son Alto had a good relationship with Her Royal Highness, I would consider the cohabitation.Was that a lie...!? "
"--So, what did you do?"
"... eh?"
"I'm asking what kind of bones the princess and his concubine's son broke to be close."
Well, that's...
Stephanus talked.
Because, as the old man said, he didn't do anything.
On the other hand, the old man prepares carefully to have Claustel, Ventershoven and the Marquis interested in Alto Cranput.
And it succeeded, and became so desired as a apprentice candidate.
The concubine's son and the two princesses are still close after they have abandoned their recent practice.Don't get upset about both marquises.
Up to this point, it was almost the same as the drawings drawn by the old man Caspere.
So at the moment, you don't have to go and see the kid.
"Do you intend to take away only the harvest from the fields you have not cultivated?That's a lot of pride, huh? "
"Uhh, uhh..."
"Get out now. And don't ever talk like that again."
"Oh, please wait...! So, what happens to my feelings...!?"
"Feelings...?"
The old man raised one eyebrow.
"Do you think dwarfs have feelings that you can claim?There's nothing to be proud of but your blood. "
"Chi, only the blood muscles...?"
"Of course you're right.Your only value is that you were born into the Viscount Volstrap family.Nothing else.- But that's a good thing to be proud of.There are countless worthless beings in the world who have stripped you of your blood... because there are no dust to see.Compared to these dust mustards, you are far more blessed to be incompetent and proud.Even though it's a sign other than your ability to be a family member. "
Clearly insulted, Stephanus pulled his face.
However, the moment I saw the eyes of my stepfather, Old Caspere, the anger dissipated.
Instead, such "thoughts" arise in the chest.
(Here, if you leave anger to the Marquis, there's nothing to get for just buying upset...Besides, we can't do more trouble for them...Yes, this is for them...That's why I have to endure it.....)
To make Stefanus say that to himself, old Caspere looked like he was in a state of deep disappointment.
"You don't even have the nobility.It's ridiculous for a fool to instantly explode on a cheap provocation, but even a fool who can't stand on his own feet is not worth using.--Most of the time, avoiding trouble is the key... I suppose I'm also making painful claims.... Stephanus, don't you realize that you are the one who despises human values the most? "
"Uhh, uhh..."
The son-in-law of the Marquis of Bailefeld was completely depressed.
The old man, who wasn't expecting him in the first place, further downgrades Stefanus's reputation.
(Doesn't this excite you?I even think about giving you results and achievements in return.Typical scum... You're just a loser, this is....)
The old man ignored the young aristocrats and wrapped his jacket to serve the papers.
The word 'busy' is a fact, because I had to go out at once.
(But the world doesn't know that.)
I passed by my son-in-law and left the study.
(Sometimes heroes and honorable children will be born to fools and tyrants, and excellent children will be born from those who accompany them and those who are mentally inferior...)
A concubine's son appeared behind the marquis's head.
The kid would at least have said it back to himself.
It's not a direct curse on the emotional sphere, it's a kind of twisted irony.
"Hmph... Stephanus is nothing like him..."
Lifting the edge of his mouth, the old man got into the carriage.
We're heading to the same place.
It is the Marquis of Burkheissen.
"Oh, Bailefeld Household. You're finally here!"
"Since parting, Household of Burkheissen."
The old man Caspere was greeted by a magnificent man with a lion-like face and a fleshy muscle.
He is the current Lord Lambert of the Marquis of Burkheissen.
Both his body and his eyesight can only feel like a warrior, rather than a nobleman.
However, he was a great aristocrat with a history, and he was in a position where many people could hang his head.
The tall old man glances at the Marquis Mansion, which is much younger.
It was decorated with narrow spaces and animal stripping.
My main hobby is hunting.
"I'm sorry for the struggle."
"What? If you and I get along."
Old man Caspere laughs in an unspeakable way.
The way he looked, the lamber shrugged his shoulders.
"It is the best of luck that you can say that to the elderly Sir, who is the shard of the Five Houses.Anyway, I'm the youngest of the five Houses. "
"Age doesn't matter.The relationship between people is first and foremost trust.Secondly, whether or not you are capable.That's all. "
"Hahahaha.... Sir is only a brilliant official and has a good mouth.I didn't expect you to praise me like this. "
Generally speaking, the contemporary Bailefeldt and Burkhardsen Houses are said to have a good relationship.
In fact, elderly Caspere is often concerned about the rumber.
For that reason, the Marquis of Burkheissen has forgiven the Marquis of Bailefeld.
Poor old man, smiling as Alto Cramput and Stefanus saw him, quarreled with "allies."
"- Well, how can I help you today?"
"Hmm. That's it. Actually, Sir, I need to ask you something."
"Well, ask me. Well, I hope I can help the Housekeeper."
The Bailefeld Housekeeper laughed with his eyes down.
It was a humble gesture.
The emperor of Burkheissen was careful, and then shouted towards the outside of the room.
"Touri, come in!"
Caspere remembered the name his younger coworker gave him.
It's the name of the daughter of this man with this robust body.
At the end of the door, a young, beautiful little girl appeared.
The old man knew it was the "young sword princess".
