(After all, don't settle down when you get back to Wellrod)
Wang Du's mansion is also at home.
But not at all in the mood.
If Wellrod's mansion, where he was born and raised, was his parents' house, Wangdu's mansion felt like a country grandparents' house.
But Kendra, born and raised in the Wang capital, vice versa.
It seemed uncomfortable somewhere.
"I'm fine. We have Kendra's room, and we have new toys and dolls."
"Toys!"
When Randolph says he has a new toy, Kendra looks happy.
The childish reaction loosens the cheeks of those who are present here.
"Well, shall we go to your room?"
"Yeah!"
Lucia is also home for the fourth year.
How the mansion is changing, or has it not?
She's looking forward to it a little bit herself.
"What about Isaac? Want to come to Kendra's room with me?
"Right...... I'll check on Patrick for a little while, then I'll be there."
"Okay. Okay, I'll see you later."
Lucia took Kendra and headed to the annex.
The maid should tell you where Kendra's room is.
Here, Isaac wonders one thing.
"Doesn't your father go with you?
I'm not going to follow my father who's going to go check on Kendra first.
That was strange.
"I'll see how Patrick is, too, and then I'll be there."
"... Really?"
Randolph has never cared about Patrick before.
I guess I need to talk to myself, Isaac guessed.
"Shall we go, then?"
"Oh."
----------
Taking Patrick to his room, he fell asleep in a straight line to the cushion replacing his bed.
After all, long-distance travel would be tiring.
And coming here is about a year and a half.
Smell the cushion around to miss the smell of your past self.
Soon Patrick heads to the toy box as if he remembered something.
A single piece of wood dish was removed from the box containing the ball and the like.
I used it instead of Frisbee.
Patrick comes to Isaac, waving his tail in a wooden dish.
"Let's play with this," he seemed to say.
But when Isaac received the wood plate, he put it back in the toy box.
And I'm gonna hold Patrick up and take him to the cushion.
"I know you want to play as much as you want, but let's get some rest today"
I don't understand what you're saying, but Patrick did.
I crawled belly to the cushion.
But you wanted to play with me, leaking a lonely squeal.
Isaac caresses her gently for making her lonely.
"Dogs and feelings make sense."
"We've been together for eight years now. I can handle most of it. I couldn't play hard with Kendra, so you must be insatiable. I'll play for you tomorrow."
"Well, I hope so."
Kendra still can't run around with Patrick.
Patrick would have felt more like "babysitting" than "playing with".
With my return to Wellrod, I guess I thought I could play around with Isaac like I used to.
But Patrick is eight.
In human terms, he is old enough to say he is.
Isaac made long journey fatigue a priority.
Patrick sleeps in the cushion and Patrick's eyes melt away as he gently strokes.
Here, Randolph cut the story out.
"Isaac, Kendra's engagement..."
"I know. It must be like a hostage, right?
Isaac blocked Randolph's words along the way.
But Randolph doesn't look bad.
Instead, he has a "Did you understand" relief look on his face.
"That's right. By the time Kendra gets married, you're thirty years ahead of her. Already as proxy for the Lords...... No, given the thickness of His Majesty's trust, he could be in a ministerial position. Keeping Roland at your disposal like that prevents Fred from going wild. That's what it means."
"I guess."
Isaac had no sense of crisis about Roland entering his son-in-law.
The difference in age is huge: ten.
Before Roland grows, Isaac is growing more.
Not just the size of your body, but also as a single nobleman.
Unlike when Nathan was there, he shouldn't have been able to send Roland in and plot to take over the Marquis Welrod family from within.
"It is not necessarily the case that men and women of near age will be born to Isaac's children and grandchildren's generation. There was a coincidence at the Marquis Wilmente that Kendra would have a child her age. I have no hand in not taking advantage of this. That's why we moved on to our engagement."
"Father, it's okay. I know exactly what I need to do. I'm not going to meet with Lord Wilmente to break an engagement or anything. Rest assured."
Randolph diligently explains Kendra's engagement to Roland.
Isaac's reaction, described, was calmer than he thought.
Randolph was somewhere anxious, even though he was relieved to see the attitude and say, "Did you get it?"
Even if the object is well understood, it makes me anxious if it is too good.
I know it's a luxury, but I can't help but feel that way.
"Even I would be worried and unacceptable if I were to betroth my own child to Fred's. I will always need to repair my relationship one day. I understand that the easiest time was now. Instead, I have to get Kendra engaged to Roland. I'm more worried about your father and your mother."
"No, Kendra's fiancée had to decide someday. You don't have to worry about me because I'm not a bad opponent."
Randolph thought, "Was it just too much to think about," and the anxiety that was in his heart disappeared.
"But couldn't you have been engaged to Roy from the Marquis Windsor family anyway?
Isaac regretted it after he spoke.
I find it somewhere awkward to have all my brothers and sisters married to the children of the Marquis Windsor family.
In that sense, I felt like "it might have been nice for Kendra to be engaged to Roland".
"No, I was also conceived of having an affair with the Marquis Windsor family, but I stopped early"
"Because the aristocracy is getting too strong. Her Royal Highness and Pamela marry and Kendra marry Roy. That would greatly enhance the influence of the Windsor Marquis family. That goes for the whole aristocracy, too. I would have been forgiven about five years ago, but now the Wang party is weakened by the successive deaths of those in its representative capacity... The more irrevocable the difference in power between factions opens."
In terms of personality, the Wilmente Marquis and the Wallic Marquis have not lost.
But in terms of our Lord's experience, we have lost to the Marquis Welrod and the Marquis Windsor families.
Since Donald Wallick died in an unfortunate accident, the Wang party has been following a path of weakening.
Recently, it has become a trend of aristocratic superiority.
"It's not a good idea for the balance to lean on the other side."
"That's right. If you get too one-sided, there are people out there who start attacking you in good shape. That will retaliate when the situation is reversed. Retaliation calls for retaliation and causes disruption to the country"
"Once upon a time, you're afraid it'll be like when the Dukes took the throne and rewarded you for the assassination. I'd like to avoid being too dominant, though it would be nice for one of them to be dominant. So you're saying you couldn't get engaged to Roy?
That's what I'm talking about.
Randolph laughed nicely.
Isaac is trying to embrace what's going on with Isaac.
I was glad about that.
If I had been willing and moved to destroy my engagement, I would have been on my way.
Firstly, it is reassuring.
"It's my fault that this has become such a complicated situation. I'm sorry."
"No, that's okay."
Randolph strokes Isaac's head.
- What can I say at times like this?
Randolph had a feeling that he couldn't put his thoughts into words.
"... now it's time to go to Kendra"
"Since Patrick is going to be asleep in a little while, I'll make sure he's asleep before I go. Just go ahead."
Isaac said as he looked at Patrick, who was starting to utter.
Randolph also thought, "Can I have a little bit?"
"Okay, I'm going first. Kendra might get tired and fall asleep."
"Yes."
Randolph leaves the room.
When no one was in the room, Isaac had an evil grin.
(I won't disagree anymore. Marriage (...) would be troublesome, but engagement (...) wouldn't matter)
- Why Isaac accepted Kendra's engagement story lightly.
Not just because Lisa convinced me to.
Because there was a compelling element to Isaac.
First of all, if it's just an engagement, there's no problem.
Isaac is thinking about taking action in five years.
At that time, Kendra was only eight.
Even if you're getting along with Roland, it should feel like "close friends" at best.
I thought smashing down the Marquis Wilmente house would contain it with a degree of sadness that he was "no longer friends" rather than "a sense of loss of lovers".
Ten years later, if I were to take action in twenty years, I would have thought, "Kendra grieves for losing her fiancée," and I would still be watching.
- Kendra's grief will be minimal even if we are to fight the Marquis Wilmente family in five years' time.
Having thought about it, I can now accept the engagement story very much.
Secondly, the Marquis Wilmente was making Roland.
The Marquis Wilmente family is a family of martial arts officers.
Given the risk of his oldest son dying in battle, it's not strange that he's having a second or third child.
But I haven't made it before.
- Then why did you suddenly create it?
This was also easy for Isaac to come up with an answer.
(I'm sure my lord Philip cut Fred off)
As far as Fred's concerned, he must have been slandering Isaac ever since he killed Nathan and Melinda.
Of course, I would have cautioned you as a parent, but Fred wouldn't listen.
"Isaac will kill me as I am, even Fred," he thought, hurrying to encourage me to make a child.
Probably thought, "I'd rather have a new kid than tell Fred".
At least, it didn't look like he was willing to contend with Philip, as he did when he had a close meeting after the ten-year-old.
So I made a child (spare) assuming an emergency where Fred would have to be truncated.
Thinking about it, I was also convinced that I had suddenly begun to have children.
- And by placing Roland close to Isaac as his son-in-law's adopted son, he proves that he is unwilling to contend with Isaac.
This also appears to indicate Philip's willingness to surrender.
We still don't know what will happen in the future, but if we do it well, we may not have to turn the Marquis Wilmente family against our enemies.
There was also the possibility that he would take a neutral position, "because I have a marital relationship with the Marquis Welrod", although it could be "willingly or royally" when the revolt broke out.
This is not a bad thing for Isaac either.
Because it's much easier to turn an individual into an enemy than to turn the entire Marquis family of the same size.
If we could have a friendly relationship, I thought we could just admit our engagement to Kendra.
Of course, this was preconditioned "if Roland had grown up to be a good man" though.
(But this is still at the hypothetical stage. Next time I go to Wang Capital, I have to make contact with Marquis Wilmente and see how he reacts, I don't know the truth)
But if you try to see him, you'll be able to stop him.
As before, I have to meet with Kossoli.
But Philip's intentions must be confirmed.
I needed to make contact somehow.
(Good news, I can't even be happy. It's all just a coincidence, and sometimes it's my mistake.)
Due to the sudden death of his predecessor Dean, there is also a good chance that he only made a child because he was anxious about the number of men in the Marquis Wilmente family.
I still can't be optimistic.
Still, the engagement was meant to be acceptable.
If you want to use your engagement to get in the way, all you have to do is attack the Marquis Wilmente house every Roland.
After all, "after five years, Kendra is not old enough to immerse herself in pornography" was a big deal.
So I can still stand it.
(In the meantime, it doesn't matter what Wilmente is, if you're making a winnable situation, you can't go wrong)
Isaac let go of his hand from sleeping Patrick and softly left.
After this, I have to go to Kendra's room.
I only have the opportunity to enter my sister's room now.
As I grew older...
"Already, brother. Don't go in there because you're embarrassed."
"If you have business, knock and call me."
"Because if you try to get into my room, 'my brother is sexually harassing me' will flow online!
- Because he won't let me in the room.
I don't want to do anything backwards.
One day Kendra, too, could end up like Changmi.
So I wanted to enjoy my sister's cutest time right now.
