Isaac didn't suddenly try to talk to Lisa about her engagement.
First we have to see if we can see Lisa as one woman.
"Uh, you're really cute. As much as I want to hug you."
That being said, Isaac couldn't help but hug him.
- Have a new family, Teresa.
Reminds me of Patrick when I was little.
Unlike then, I can hold it up lightly now.
Stuffed cuteness makes me stick to my cheeks.
Isaac's body is not the same size as it was when he was a child and now.
He looked cuter for what seemed relatively small.
But Kendra seems different.
It's cute, but it looks boring somewhere.
"What's up, Kendra? You don't like Teresa?
As Isaac asked, Kendra shook her head to the side.
"It's not hard... but Patrick is better. 'Cause even if I give you the ball, you're alone."
"Oh, I see."
Isaac remembers the old days.
Patrick was also playing with the ball on his own at first.
It wasn't until some time after I came to the Mansion that he dared bring it to me.
Kendra, like Patrick, probably wants Teresa to play with him.
"It's not like Teresa doesn't want to play with Kendra. I don't know how much fun it is to play with you. Kendra, 'cause your brother taught you how to play with Patrick, right? Now Kendra's gonna teach Teresa."
"Yeah, okay"
It's a shame to let Teresa go, but I'd also like to see Kendra teach her to play.
I stopped holding him and put Teresa down on the floor.
This is what Isaac, who has just become Duke, can do, thanks also to Norman and the others for their hard work.
He says it's the second day since he was awarded the title, but he's already been sent something like a resume.
The Marquis Wellrod family is being used for their paperwork selection.
There was also a knight's hope, so you were going to let Matt and Tommy examine your strength.
The top civilian in the Duke of Enfield family becomes Norman.
He becomes the housekeeper, carrying out his duties in his place, like Benjamin and Francis.
I was bewildered by the sudden burdens because I thought it would be decades before I could be entrusted with this job.
Had it not been for the support of the Marquis of Wellrod, he might have spilled a cry by now.
The samurai was going to put Matt on the Knights Commander and Tommy on the Deputy Knights Commander.
Sufficient strength and track record.
If there's a problem, it's if someone stronger than Tommy has served.
"Is the guy weaker than himself the deputy knight captain?" You may be dissatisfied.
But in that case, I'm going to take refuge by saying, "I have a track record, and I can't just stand on people with simple force".
If Tommy were to say, "I can't have a vice knight captain," then I thought I could give him a few years of respite to do it.
Isaac's turn will come after the paperwork is selected.
This is still a time I can afford, so this is how I was able to stay with Kendra.
"Dear Isaac..."
Lisa called out to Isaac, who was smiling and watching.
"Hey, what is it?
Since consulting Margaret, Isaac has become a little unconscious.
Lisa thought it was "because she kept her distance".
But there was something I had to tell her.
"Are you sure you don't want to study for the exam?
"Heh, exam study?
I've heard a lot of things in my past life, but I didn't expect to hear them in this world.
"Of course, Master Isaac may not need to study. But I think you should study just in case."
Lisa thinks she can afford to play "I can't afford an exam".
But in case you think about it, I decided to ask Isaac himself if he should confirm it.
"Isn't Royal College open to anyone who's noble?
"You can enroll. But after that, it can be divided between those who have more than a certain amount of academic ability and those who do not."
"Why did you do that..."
"To rescue those who, due to family circumstances, did not receive a satisfactory education. Some people say that the three men and three women in the Baron family who are not in the position can just read simple calculations and letters..."
"Oh, I see."
(The family situation is that there was no money, like Nicole. In fact, Nicole, who starts with the lowest status common to romantic SLGs, should also have been classified as a no)
Even if nobility is a ruling class.
By bottoming up its bottom academic achievement, it increases the value of aristocracy (...) itself.
Even if you can't say you're good, you can show off the difference in knowledge when a courtesan marries you in vain.
Knowing the difference in the level of education between civilians and nobles should lead the civilians to pay even more special attention to nobility.
That way, the position of the royal marquis nobility will be secure.
It's a good thing you don't trump the lower-level and try to raise them to a certain level.
(But it's not good. In case I'm classified as a lower level......)
"That duke is such an idiot," they could say.
It would be deadly if rumors like that spread when you are getting more attention than ever before.
No one will follow Isaac anymore.
Lisa's casual question drove Isaac to the bottom of his fear.
"I haven't heard anything important about it."
"Didn't they think Master Isaac would be fine? And there was a war, so maybe he was getting spooked."
"No, no, it's not okay at all. School studies are separate from the knowledge you usually use, right? I need to preview it."
Isaac was in a hurry.
But Teresa grows up after a few months and turns from puppy-like cuteness to dog cuteness.
You won't even be able to see Kendra try and err in teaching you how to play together.
But if you think about the future, you should study.
Isaac went on about Lisa and had to make the ultimate choice.
----------
(Oh, you screwed up already. Jason, I never promised to see you.)
Queen Jessica told me, so Isaac had promised to meet with Jason.
When I think about Kendra and the exams, I can't afford to be seeing Jason.
I resent my stupidity for booking a meeting as they say.
I used to say, "You said you were going to talk to me in Sashi. Why?," Isaac thinks.
Though somewhat softer than it used to be, Fred should not have changed dramatically, as he is still staring at it with a harsh gaze.
I had no idea why I would have him present.
"Congratulations, Isaac. No, I think I should call you Lord Enfield already."
"No, because of that, Your Highness can now call me Isaac. As always, feel free to call me Isaac"
Jason is Prince Wang.
In terms of the current strength of authority (...), Isaac, who became Duke, may be higher.
But Jason, who will be king in the future, will be better.
Just because I'm up there at the moment, it's not a good idea to be great at him.
It should have been easy to get out poorly in case you gave up on the bottom line.
"... Congratulations"
"Thank you, Freddie"
Isaac returned with a sunny smile to Fred, who shrugged his congratulatory words reluctantly.
Fred turned his face bright red and said, "Don't call me Freddy!" He was about to yell at me, but I felt good about it here.
To make Jason look good.
"He said he wanted to see Isaac so badly that I had him present. Isaac isn't the only one. It even worked in this war for Kai of the Viscount Maxwell family, didn't it? I don't know if I can stand or stay when I hear about my age."
Jason explains why Fred was present.
This was understandable to Isaac as well.
If your position is the other way around "Active on the battlefield at fourteen!? Wow!" I just want to hear it.
Especially those who took over the enemy general with Kai's own hands.
It's just Isaac this time, but one of these days he might ask me to bring Kai too.
In that case, I'm worried Kai won't collapse due to nervousness.
"I was naturally concerned too, so I wanted to get out of the victory party. Too bad we can't get out of the party yet. It's only the privilege of a handled person to be able to attend with children."
"I know that. Once I was supposed to be the guest of honor, they sent me home before it was late at night. [M] I want to grow up soon."
Isaac agrees with Jason.
A party without alcohol can be attended with an adult, but children are naturally treated poorly at a party with alcohol.
In the first place, it is rare to be attending a party in the royal palace like Isaac.
Normally I can't even be allowed to attend.
Isaac was the only one who was special.
But there's something Fred really wanted to say to Isaac about being treated special.
"Even I would have worked if I'd gone to the battlefield."
I think so.
In response to Isaac, Fred grips his fist and indulges in anger.
Fred's words are serious.
If the Marquis Welrod family, a civilian lineage, could have won, if they had been there, they would have cut ahead and worked great.
- As long as I had the chance to fight on the battlefield, I was given an unbeatable feat by the Marquis of Wellrod and the Earl of Lancaster.
Fred's words also represented the thoughts of the other martial officers.
All that worked this time was the folks from the civilian lineage.
Many people are jealous that they "wanted to fight" especially because young people like Tommy and Kai put up a big deal.
Fred is one of those people.
That's why I was angry when Isaac told me a little "maybe so".
Because it feels as if you haven't been dealt with.
But I still enjoyed it here.
Jason has allowed me to be present on the condition that I don't "hostile to Isaac" him.
If you blame Isaac here, you'll crush Jason's face.
I swallowed words condemning Isaac by prioritizing friendship and keeping my mouth shut firmly.
"I didn't realize in the war, but you also have to study for exams. He was completely out of his mind."
Isaac, who sensed Fred's emotions, turns to study for the exam.
At least, because now I'm having trouble having (...) an outburst.
This is the Royal Palace, surrounded by Jason's entourage.
I would report to Elias, but no one should have a light mouth to chat with.
To discredit Fred and get Jason involved in it, it would be more convenient to have him erupt within the crowded Royal College.
By changing the subject, I thought about curbing Fred's emotions.
"Are you studying for an exam... Humph, you're in trouble too."
"You and your Highness, too?
I also heard that Jason, a talented character, was having trouble with the exam, and Isaac asked back wondering.
"That's right. Achievements will be announced at the Royal College. That's what happens when you start school. The top graders are supposed to greet the freshmen on their behalf. As Prince Wang, I want to manage to be a representative. But there's a powerful rival in trouble."
Jason was laughing and talking.
I don't have the color that I'm having trouble with that look.
Instead, he watched Isaac with the eyes that he had met a good enemy.
"I see...... But I just became a duke, too. I'm still concerned about people's eyes, so I can't help it."
"Just what I want."
Isaac and Jason laugh at Ni.
Isaac isn't going to lose, either, even though he's understudied.
"Very smart, Duke. (Laughs)" We just have to avoid the rumors.
I was really curious about the reputation around me.
"By the way, where's Fred?
"Don't ask."
Fred turns away when he is told the story.
(You'll have just the least amount of knowledge, but I don't think you can be a top performer. Well, that was the character and I can't help it)
Isaac did not pursue it in depth.
If I go too far in pursuit and Fred tells me, "Well, it's a battle with a sword," I'll be fine.
There are areas where everyone is not comfortable.
Make it up to you by connecting with people.
In terms of connections, the armament rises to Fred, who has been properly raised as a man.
Overall, I can't fool around any more than I can say "I'm winning".
It was easier to just call it "Freddie" and make fun of it and put it away.
(Oh, and I look forward to being a student. From there we should follow the path to the collapse of the Reid kingdom at once.... depending on Nicole)
I'm sad to rely on Nicole at the end of the day, but by successfully guiding her to Jason, I was sure she would take some action.
