Otto has two wives, which is not much for a Countess, but he was blessed with three boys and two girls, so he didn't need a third wife.
'It's been a long time, Master Bartolomeus. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Vilhemina.
The one who greeted me first was First Queen Alberta in a blue dress.
She was a countess who was a childhood friend of Otto's and a woman who knew Val as a child.
'It's been a long time, Lady Bartolomeus. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Lady Vilhemina.
The next to greet her was the second queen, Zonya, who wore a red dress.
She was a Viscountess and had first met Val at her wedding ceremony.
Each of the girls had taken a handful of their own children.
'It's been a long time. You two are as beautiful as ever, and I'm jealous of that Otto guy.'
He admired the beauty of his wives, but mixed in with his true feelings.
Alberta is a striking woman with green eyes and red hair, and Zonya is a bewitching woman with brown hair and blue eyes and a weeping black woman under her left eye.
Although both of them have children and are over thirty, they are both beautiful, as if to say that they are now in their prime as women.
'Well, you're very good at it,'
They both interpreted Val's words as social niceties and smiled politely.
'I'm Vilhemina. Nice to meet you.
It was another curt greeting on Meena's part, but the two were not offended.
As a noblewoman, you have the opportunity to gain a certain amount of knowledge about the race of elves.
And when it comes to Yagami Teru, he's a much higher rank than the countess.
''Then let me introduce the children next.
Alberta said, addressing an eight-year-old boy in a light blue ceremonial dress who was holding her right hand.
'My eldest son, Henry, and then my eldest daughter, Corinna, and my second son, Thomas. Say hello.
Hey there.
Nice to meet you.
The children greeted their mother with a frightened look.
The one in red was Corinna and the one in yellow was Thomas.
Deborah, dressed in pink, and Kurt, dressed in green, both had bright, friendly smiles on their faces.
Val was intrigued by the fact that they had the same father, but their personalities were so different that they could be considered polar opposites.
'Henry and the others are much more reserved,'
Alberta sighs in annoyance as she says it out loud without hesitation.
''That's right. I'm worried now that I'll be the next head of the family.''
In the Altmeier family, it is common for an illegitimate son to take over the house.
That's why, if nothing else, Henry will be the heir, and it's not surprising that she's worried.
'I wish I could tell you that Kurt will support you and you'll be fine.
Zonya also looked gloomy.
She seemed to be convinced that her son would be assisting Alberta's son.
Val is glad that there is no possibility of a family disturbance, she thinks.
Otto is an old acquaintance, and he does not want to see an ugly conflict between his children if possible.
'When the time comes, you can count on your mentor to be there for you.
Val comforted the two ladies with that.
They accepted the offer with a smile, but it was Jürgen himself who was not convinced.
"Don't give him a cheap shot without asking him. How long do you want me to work for you?
When he laughed instead of being angry, he wasn't angry.
Val and Mina were fine, but the ladies seemed relieved that Jurgen wasn't angry.
'It will be troublesome later on if the people around you think that even I'm going to put my shoulder to the Altmaier family when you're here.
Yeah.
Jurgen affirmed Baru's point with an abhorrent expression, and the ladies made a bitter face.
The Eight Divine Brilliance was the biggest force in the empire, and being close to or having a handmaiden was a great weapon in the aristocratic world.
Even if the Altmaier family didn't do anything, there would still be people who would envy and envied them.
The relationship between Yagamiaki and the aristocracy is quite delicate.
It is wise to avoid the situation that should be avoided as much as possible.
It's a good thing that we are able to defeat all the noblemen together, but not these kids.
Jurgen is directed at children who are still too young to understand the meaning of the adults' conversations.
