Isaac was summoned to the royal palace on the day the school was closed.
- The business is to set up an embassy for Elves and Dwarves.
Isaac said, "Discuss it with your grandparents on your own."
But I just have to go beyond being called in.
My grandfather and I headed to the royal palace.
In the Royal Palace conference room, in addition to Elias, civil servants such as the Marquis of Windsor gathered to talk.
I don't suppose the martial arts officer will turn up just for business.
Elias, who confirmed Isaac's appearance, recommends a seat.
The location is diagonal right front of Elias.
It is second only to the area sitting in the deepest part, the upper seat called the front of the Marquis of Windsor.
More than becoming a duke, it inevitably becomes a position worthy of the title.
But Isaac was feeling a little uncomfortable because he would sit higher than Morgan.
"Well done for coming."
First, Elias smiles and talks to Isaac.
"I would be glad to hear from His Majesty. But was there something about the Elves' embassy that you might need me for?
"Ugh, um. I need to hear Lord Enfield's opinion."
Elias sends his gaze to the Marquis of Windsor.
Something hard to say, and you want me to tell Isaac that on my own behalf.
The Marquis of Windsor didn't have one disgusting face when he was pressed for an unpleasant role.
"Securing the location was a problem as we prepared the embassy for Elves and Dwarves. It's a question of whether it should be used as it is, although the location itself is."
He talks pale about the status quo.
(Where in that does it concern me?
Isaac, questioned as such, waits silently for the conversation to continue without pinching his mouth.
"We value our relationship with them. Never take it lightly. Show friendship to foreign countries too. We have found just two sites where we can accomplish those aims. This is the mansion of the Dukes of Enfield and Vickers."
"I see."
The Duke of Vickers is another Duke family that took the throne with the Duke of Enfield.
Due to the Marquis Windsor's desire to use the mansions of both of those houses, Isaac guessed why Elias seemed so spicy to say.
You mean you want me to use the Duke of Enfield's land?
Now Isaac is a minor, so he lives in the mansion of the Marquis of Wellrod.
But it was thought that one day he would leave the house and move to the Duke of Enfield's mansion.
Isaac was also going to move in when he was an adult.
Because I thought it would be embarrassing to spend my newlyweds with my family.
The mansion has not yet been handed over and is now still a controlled property in the kingdom.
Nevertheless, one day the property will be handed over to Isaac.
It would be that I could not imitate it to convert it as an embassy on my own, and that I was having trouble with what to do.
"If there's no other good place, we'd be happy to offer it."
"Well, will you say so"
Elias snorts, yeah.
He believed Isaac, a loyal minister, would say so.
"If it was just one place, I would have used the Duke Vickers' mansion as an embassy. You can't make a difference with an elf and a dwarf. We had to have a comparable mansion in order to show a willingness to treat each other equally."
"The Duke's mansion will keep you safe."
"Yes."
The house of the Duke of Enfield is on the east side of the Royal Palace, while the house of the Duke of Vickers is on the west side.
Both are close to the royal palace and, in terms of security, a safety zone contending for one or two in the king's capital.
It seems that foreign countries will also try to make contact with elves and dwarves, so it is more reassuring for me to be on the side of the Reid Kingdom to be in a place that is easy to protect in an emergency.
The Duke's Mansion was the perfect place to welcome their resident ambassador.
"As the Elves tried to take their relationship with the Kingdom of Lead a step further, Dwarves would also send ambassadors in step with the Elves. Until last year, it went smoothly with no problems..."
"So now that I'm Duke of Enfield, I need to adjust."
Isaac shows understanding in Morgan's words.
There was no problem if the Duke remained vacant without being awarded to anyone.
But Isaac got younger and gave it to me, so I had to get permission in the formal setting.
A school day off is basically a day off for ministers and bureaucrats alike.
It seems as though we should just send a messenger to check it out, but it can be said that Isaac has deliberately gathered at the Royal Palace on his day off, thus setting up a place for discussion.
Although it is a hassle, it is important to follow the procedure in this way in order to do a favor.
In fact, I didn't feel bad about it, either, as Isaac, who is on the requested side.
If there's a problem, I'm worried I'll have to live my newlywed life with my parents...
Previous life would have meant "land with mansion!? Absolutely want it!" I wouldn't have let go, but in this world I could afford to think, "All I have to do is have a new home somewhere".
It is the leeway of those who can have it.
"I didn't think anyone would come out to give me the Duke for a while yet. It is a delightful miscalculation. It will take the form of taking over the Duke of Enfield's mansion. I'd like to reward you with something else, but you don't want anything?
Ask if Elias wants anything from Isaac.
But I wasn't expecting an answer from Isaac.
Because it was always all abnegation answers.
But not this time.
"That's right... So can I get the rent in the form of renting out the mansion to the kingdom?
Isaac demands money in return.
It would be a whisper but a blow to the kingdom economy.
Even though Isaac was ashamed that all he could think of was this much, Isaac thought it wasn't that bad.
If I just make a loan forever, it makes it harder for me to get it back when I get it back.
It's easier to say "give it back" if you keep it for a moderate size loan.
"Is that all right? Well, it's better than nothing demanding... After all, as a student, it's the same."
Elias on the other hand received it in a different way.
I thought Isaac demanded money because it was "easy to understand".
An agreement can be reached in the form of a contract (…) simply by paying the rent.
Because I can see "convinced" more visibly than offering the Duke of Enfield's mansion without demanding anything.
If you don't ask for it, you may be reluctantly obeyed because it's a royal demand, but you're not convinced.
Isaac's request for money was received in consideration of the royal side.
There's no point in Elias thinking so.
He thinks Isaac is a greedless young man.
I also asked for money in order to give the Kingdom the name "I am paying the consideration".
It was because I was certain that I wasn't demanding it because I wanted money to play.
"Speaking of which, since when do ambassadors become stationed?
"A line of ambassadors is due to arrive around the winter of this year. I want to make it widely known that the ambassador will be stationed on the anniversary of the agreement."
Elias answers Isaac's question and laughs nicely.
It's like, "Let's parade together when the elves and dwarves get here. He looked like he was saying."
Isaac was at his best because he could gleefully see that he was about to have a bitter laugh.
----------
At the end of the embassy story, Isaac was summoned to a separate room by Elias.
Apparently, we still need to talk.
The beverage served at this time contained ice.
Comfortable cold in the season when temperatures have risen.
Isaac remembered Claude and Bridget, who made ice when it got hot, and felt nostalgic.
I've still broken up with them for about two months.
"I asked you to come to the other room because I really wanted to ask you something."
Not long ago, Elias has a serious look.
Isaac, who was enjoying the throats of cold drinks, also corrects his posture and gets a serious look.
"How's Jason doing at school?
"Heh..., how is Your Highness?
Isaac will clap out just because he thought it was a more important project.
But I immediately reconsidered.
(Parents would worry...)
Isaac has also received a letter from his parents.
It's the same for every parent to worry about their new life.
It's only natural to worry about Jason, who was isolated in a way.
I'm just saying that Elias is a single parent.
"Jason only talks so much about 'having fun meeting people of all kinds'. I'm just a little concerned."
Just don't worry, Jason won't be the target of bullying, but you're wondering if he's doing well with his surroundings.
"Right...... I don't really feel comfortable telling His Majesty what he won't talk about."
"Mmmm..."
Isaac is right.
It's like telling me to imitate a spy, so to speak.
You know Elias, too, didn't try to force Isaac.
Instead, he shows a soggy face that no longer has the majesty of a king.
"But within the limits of what His Majesty has already told you, you will have no problem."
But Isaac decided to talk about some of it.
Just something convenient (...).
"Your Highness certainly stays in touch with all kinds of people. Hey. You seem to be taking care of meeting someone you've never met before. They seem to interact with students from other classes, but you seem to have deepened your relationship, especially with your classmates. I see things seem to be going well in my eyes."
Nor does Isaac lie to Elias, the king.
If it's true, Nicole may be a big problem, but from Isaac's point of view, it looks like it's going well.
- Isaac and Elias.
Because of the difference between the two positions, it's just that the way we receive reality is changing.
But it seems the word now was enough for Elias.
Give me a horrible look.
"I was confused at first by something called mass living, too. How'd it go?
Ask Isaac with Elias' seemingly intriguing eyes.
I guess I was interested in something called the student life of the Duke of Enfield right now.
Maybe this one was the real deal.
"It's going better than I thought. I was worried about what would happen because I didn't have many friends, but since I got into college, I've had more friends."
I can't say, "I'm used to school life in my previous life," but I don't think I can do it without previous life experience.
It's just a class society, and there's no defects that can get tangled up in Isaac.
Exactly. Though his identity doesn't matter in school, he doesn't seem stupid enough to sell fights to the Duke.
Isaac doesn't sell fights either, so far he's living a peaceful student life.
Except for Nicole related.
"Well, that's more than anything. I was worried that I could do well with my generation of kids for what I could do well with elves and dwarves...... You didn't have to worry about it."
"What is it, the worry? Doesn't that sound like a human opponent?"
"It's the blood of the Marquis Welrod. I was just wondering if that's what happened."
Elias grins uncontrollably.
From that smile, I saw something called trust and credibility in Isaac.
At least, it seems to be in a relationship where you can just slap a light mouth beyond the age difference.
There are others involved who have likewise exceeded the age difference.
Even Bridget makes an incredible difference if you think only of age differences.
(Speaking of which, what happens to Mr. Claude and Bridget?
If he were to come as an ambassador, he would no longer be staying at the Marquis Welrod's.
I just have a relationship since I was a kid, and that makes me feel a little lonely.
It is also good for Isaac that the relationship with Elves and Dwarves progresses.
But not all of the changing environments were welcome to Isaac.
If you want to do what you want, you still have to secure power.
When that happens, Elias and I will collide head-on.
He was reminded once again that life was a nasty thing.
