"Phew. It's a different world this season with elves."
When we were in August, Morgan came to Wellrod.
Now I take a dose in Claude's magically cooled dining room.
Finally, he left me with a big piece of ice in the corner of the table, so I can feel the chill from the ice and feel good.
"By the way, Father. What happened?
Randolph asks why he's back in Morgan.
Whatever it is, it shouldn't be "because I wanted to come home".
I'm bringing my family with me if that's the reason.
Above all, it's impossible to bring more escorts than usual.
Isaac had a similar question, so he watched quietly to see what answer Morgan would give.
"His Majesty Simon of the Kingdom of Rockwell has been defeated. I have just attended the eulogy and the reign ceremony of His Highness Garrett. I stopped by Wellrod on my way home because I wanted to see your faces and to hear what's going on."
"Is that what happened?"
Asking why Morgan came back this season, Randolph is convinced.
I just stopped by on my way home from going out as Foreign Secretary.
Something didn't come up.
"There's nothing particularly wrong with this one. The merchants have also been careful with their dealings with Dwarves, so we haven't had any trouble yet. Soldier recruitment is well under way."
As Randolph says, things were going fine now.
The Chamber of Commerce, which is entrusted with trading, starting with the Gray Chamber of Commerce, has taken great care of the transaction for me.
I'm not trying to trick Dwarf into making money, negotiating excessive discounts, etc.
As much as a merchant on the Dwarf side wondered, he handled it so dearly.
This also had the reason "you don't have to be a bummer".
Dwarf products can be sold at high prices even if purchased there.
You don't have to persevere in negotiating discounts until you make them uncomfortable.
Of course, the thought of smashing up friendship and not wanting to buy royal wrath was also a deterrent.
Expansion of armaments has only just begun trading, so increasing the number of soldiers at once in a year becomes a huge financial burden.
For this reason, it was planned to gather 5,000 soldiers each year and 20,000 over four years.
In the Reid kingdom, nobles with territory are required to keep their troops in line in case anything happens.
Each Marquis has 30,000 soldiers, and the Counts range from 5,000 to 15,000 according to the size of the territory.
Recruiting 20,000 soldiers means increasing the number of soldiers in the Count's two families.
This was not just an arms expansion, it was also a little state-like plan.
But this one is also volunteered by the farmer's three boys and four boys, and the recruitment is progressing well.
Instead, it was so hard to select soldiers for the current year from more than expected applicants.
However, this includes the number of guards engaged in policing activities in the territory.
Not the number of soldiers you can mobilize on the battlefield.
Listening to Randolph, Morgan nods satisfactorily.
"It'll be tough, but good luck. Your Majesty is expected to expand his army."
A total of 50,000 soldiers will be comparable in size to the Royal Army under the direct command of the Royal Reid.
Originally, a rapid military expansion would not be strange to be suspected of rebellion, but it would not be a problem because it is an inkling action on the part of Elias, the king himself.
Rather, as much as it is recommended.
Needless to say, Randolph was working on it with a lot of temper.
"By the way, Grandpa. Her Royal Highness Garrett was Mrs. Melinda's fiancé, wasn't she?
"... yes"
"It's been an unpleasant topic," Morgan says in his face.
When I thought about Isaac, I didn't really want to talk about Melinda or Nathan.
But that Isaac himself has touched it, so there's no way he won't answer.
I honestly admitted that Garrett was Melinda's ex-fiancé.
Somehow the bitter air flows to the scene.
Isaac himself, who created that air, blew out the heavy air.
"Have you been kicking my ass up? His Royal Highness Garrett......, is he now Your Majesty? It was a lot harder because of the extra things you did."
"You could have done that."
Morgan answers with a frightened voice.
Certainly there were times when my family got confused about Melinda.
But complaining about Garrett is a mistake.
"Isaac, I'm sorry about Melinda..."
Randolph pinched his mouth as he looked awkward.
His takeover of Melinda led to a housekeeping dispute over the Marquis Welrod family.
I'm still sick of that.
"No, I still think His Majesty Garrett is at fault. If His Majesty Garrett had married Mrs. Melinda, it would have all fit in circles."
"Isaac, that's different. Melinda had a problem, and she was going to get rid of her engagement."
Morgan thinks, "Speaking of which, you didn't tell Isaac in detail," and starts explaining.
Originally, Garrett had a fiancée named Scarlett.
That should be it, too, because it's Prince Wang, so there can't be no fiancée.
They were good friends.
But it happened that the two of them were torn apart.
- It was the war seventeen years ago.
In a war between the Kingdom of Rockwell and the Kingdom of Fartil, the Kingdom of Reed was sending reinforcements to the Kingdom of Fartil.
There was also that edge, sending Jude as a messenger of the truce when the front glued.
But that Jude was caught in an ambush of the Kingdom of Rockwell and died in battle.
The confused kingdom of Reed included in the pact of harmony the content of "sending royal blood relatives as Garrett's fiancée".
But this wasn't a good idea.
Garrett and Scarlett are going to tear each other apart...
At the time, Garrett and Melinda were fifteen.
He spent time together at the Rockwell Kingdom college to nurture love and was thought to get him married after graduation.
The problem is that Scarlett was also fifteen years old.
I'm close to Garrett as a classmate.
Naturally, Garrett was also aware of Scarlett and snoozed.
I guess that wasn't funny to Melinda.
They started harassing Scarlett.
Garrett learned of Melinda's harassment and told her at the graduation ceremony that she had broken her engagement to Melinda.
Simon, the king, reluctantly forfeited his engagement, which was part of the pact of reconciliation.
But there was also Garrett's strong hope, and he decided that there was nothing good to be done as a couple, and sent Melinda back to the Kingdom of Lead.
"Melinda has nothing to do with it. I hope you don't blame her because my son is so responsible" with a letter of content.
"Because I had that letter, I couldn't help but think, 'Melinda's bad,' and I wanted to reach out and do it."
You remember that time, Randolph has a distant eye.
"I see, perhaps His Majesty Garrett is certainly not bad..."
Isaac learned about Garrett's circumstances and felt his resentful emotions faded as well.
Instead, I look at my father with jito eyes.
(When that happens, my father's percentage of negligence is huge, after all)
If Garrett had married Melinda to me, I wouldn't have had a problem.
Nevertheless, Randolph, who then took Melinda, is the worst.
Even though there was a time when I liked him how much, I didn't have to reach out to him because he was already married.
If you can't control your wife well, I wanted you to stay in the direction of protecting the family you have now.
"I reflect that it took Isaac and Lucia a hard time. I'm sorry. But then I thought it was the right thing to do."
Randolph, who noticed Isaac's gaze, said so unexpectedly.
I'm just reflecting on what caused that.
"I wonder if there was anything else I could have done," so much so that I wouldn't regret it.
"Right...... Because if you don't actually act, you don't know what's going to happen."
After answering that, Isaac remembered that Randolph wasn't the only one at fault.
(If my dad took Melinda, half bad, the other half bad for Grandma, right?)
- What would have happened if Margaret hadn't been Melinda's patron?
At least it wasn't that one-sided.
If there were at least half the aristocracy supporting Lucia and Melinda, Melinda might have been an adult too.
If so, Randolph could have steered well, too.
- If Melinda's fiancée had been decided as a child.
- Unless Garrett breaks his engagement to Melinda.
- If Randolph doesn't pick up Melinda.
- If Margaret doesn't become a patron.
Multiple coincidences overlapped, resulting in a successor dispute.
Don't blame Randolph for one, Isaac rethinks.
Here Isaac forgot the most important thing.
- If Isaac wasn't a reincarnator, what would have happened?
This is the most important thing.
If Isaac hadn't been a reincarnator, perhaps Nathan would have won the housekeeper fight.
Isaac kept thinking about the home environment, but he was out of his mind about the most influential things.
"For now. His Majesty Garrett is not bad. In the first place, it's not about kicking up royal asses in other countries, etc. A nation that has been hostile, but with the least respect."
Morgan watches out for Isaac.
By that, I was about to change the story.
"Yes, I'm sorry. Be careful what you say."
Isaac honestly rode Morgan's idea.
However, I regretted that this was the wrong course of action because of the next topic raised.
"By the way, Isaac is about the same age. Have you got a daughter you care about?
"What, no, that's the..."
Isaac is stuck with words.
"I still like Pamela, and I'm thinking about flipping the anti-flag on the royal family," I can't say.
But Morgan received it as a reaction to "I have a child I like".
Because he has an idea.
"My daughter, who inherited the Baron Nettle Holds family, is growing beautifully."
Morgan is a nigga.
Earlier Baron Terrence Nettle Holds was Isaac's tutor.
Plus there's chocolate edges.
"Isaac, too, is a little concerned about her," he thought.
"No, it doesn't"
"What, you don't have to try to delude me because I'm embarrassed, do you?
"No, she really can't be. Not interested at all"
"Oh well..."
Morgan is confused by Isaac, who answers with a faceless face.
Because as far as he was concerned, it was a pretty confident answer, but I didn't think he was going to respond by killing emotions that far.
"Please don't run ahead and move on with your engagement story or anything. I would resent you for life if you did that. Instead of using tough means, I won't take away the housekeeper."
"Okay. Relax, I won't do that."
"That's right. You promised you wouldn't decide on your fiancée until you were older."
Randolph, not just Morgan, tries to forgive Isaac for saying scary things in the face.
"You don't like that girl that much?
"I'm not interested at all, rather than dislike it. Lisa, your sister looks much prettier to me."
"Right..."
- Isaac has a slightly strange aesthetic sensation.
That's how Morgan received it.
Nicole, the same twelve-year-old as Isaac, but with a beauty that already attracts adults as well.
Not interested in her was usually impossible.
But I was convinced that the aesthetic sensation was different from others.
Now that I think about it, Isaac has a different sensibility than others in other respects.
The aesthetic sensation is also likely to be distinctive (crazy).
But that's a problem.
"So what kind of daughter do you prefer?
What kind of daughter do you prefer?
This was very important.
If she is too distinctive (Busyk), her daughter will struggle very hard as a Marquis wife.
Because you're going to feel miserable in the social world.
Morgan was worried that he would have to ask for his preferred type just in case and correct it if it was too bad.
"I've never been over cute, Lisa, but I'd prefer a type of girl like your sister or Tiffany"
"Hmm, do you like the plain type?"
"Right, a plain (dear) type would be better. I want someone to stay with me and calm down."
Isaac doesn't know what Morgan's thinking.
In the meantime I answered the type with no problems in terms of personality.
But Morgan was listening in terms of appearance.
Lisa and Tiffany are cute, but they don't look particularly prominent.
(Is that true, too? Because that's the kind of girl I've been dealing with since I was a kid)
So I guess I prefer girls like them, Morgan received.
Lucia is not the type to dress flashly either.
I wondered if there was also a mother's influence or if she preferred the plain type.
"That's a good thing. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of daughter you bring."
"Yeah, I'm sure I'll surprise you."
"No, no need to be surprised"
"Will Grandpa say that? It's a surprise."
"What do you mean?
I don't know myself when Isaac says to make fun of Morgan.
Randolph, feeling alienated, asks Isaac a question.
"Speaking of which, your father doesn't know, does he? As a matter of fact, my grandfather..."
"Hey, Isaac."
Morgan stops it, but Isaac tells Randolph about the "surprise case".
"Eh, your father did that!
Randolph looks at Morgan with his eyes like he sees something odd.
I was surprised to learn that my father had an unexpected side.
Having been exposed to an embarrassing past, Morgan looks embarrassed.
With this in mind, we also talked about Kendra when she was born.
Randolph laughs at how delightful it was when he was blocking himself.
The topic shifted from here to bright content, and a bright laugh echoed in the dining room.
