"The same earl title as your late father, with a fief over your ancestors, and the ability to form your own knightly order—a reward worthy of the young Serrestine, right?" Without waiting for everyone's surprise to finish, His Majesty Sarabont smiled and looked at the shocked Thresteen (Asa), "One hundred and fifty years ago, the city of Roktar, where your ancestors were stationed, was originally a border fortress of our country, although now it has gradually lost its original function due to the expansion of the country, but! His Majesty once again glanced majestically at the crowd, "But the King hopes that Count Roctal and the Knights he is about to form will once again be the King's bulwark against foreign enemies!" ”

“…… What a beautiful word! Looking at His Majesty the King, who was not far away majestically placing the silver sword on Asa's shoulder for the rewarding ceremony, Tez beside me laughed and whispered, "I have to admire - King Sarabont is really an old fox!" ”

"What's wrong with His Majesty?" Although I knew that this poisonous snake was deliberately telling us, I couldn't help but ask.

Xia Baifei on the side also looked at it with puzzled eyes.

"What a clever thing he said! You see, while saying that the reward is equal in value to the princess, and at the same time saying what is expected of Threstin—what nobleman would dare to object? Tez explained with a smile, "It has long been known that the king of Sarabont originally wanted to marry Princess Lagersis to Viscount Threstin, but since Thresteen himself did not want a princess, he changed it to a reward of equal value for land and rights - at this time, to question the high value of the reward is to question the value of the princess." What nobleman would dare to say at this time, 'It's not appropriate to give a reward?!' Is he questioning the princess's worthlessness or questioning the fact that the bounties are not as good as the princess, and wants to add more? Ha ha! In addition, King Sarabont emphasized the purpose of the bounty - to be a bulwark for the king - which actually meant that King Sarabont wanted to lead the Knights on the front line to serve the king in Thresteen's upcoming war! Ha ha! "Speaking of which. Tesz laughed out loud and happily, "What foolish nobleman who is not afraid of death would raise an objection at this time?" - Even if they dare to object, the king of Sarabont only has to ask, 'How about you or your heirs as a bulwark for the king?' That shrewd hereditary aristocracy would never do such a stupid thing! ”

"Oh! It turns out that there is such an intention......" Xia Baifei nodded in agreement, "I think His Majesty's last sentence is a bit strange - why did you say it to everyone - it turns out that this is the case!" ”

"Alas! Xia Baifei! Xia Baifei ...... "After listening to Xia Baifei's words, Tez sighed at him exaggerated and regretful. "Alas! Xia Baifei! Do you know why I, Tez, want Thresteen and not you, the hyena? - You are indeed strong in marching and fighting, but when it comes to strategy and human favors...... You're so stupid! ”

"Huh! Shouldn't I be glad about this? Xia Baifei smiled unconsciously and sneered, "Really." I'm really lucky not to be taken by your poisonous snake! ”

"Hah! You can say that again! Tez laughed.

Yes...... No matter who it is, it is estimated that he will not be happy to be bitten by the poisonous snake in front of him.

That...... What should Laxis do now? What else can we do?

Is there any other way? - Asa, what are you doing so obediently around His Majesty?!

Take the opportunity to ask for more rewards! Stupid!

As he spoke, His Majesty handed the medal and the instrument of the award to Thresten (Asa) and motioned for him to stand back. King Sarabont glanced at the crowd again. "You don't have any objections to this reward, right?"

"Count Rochtar has been meritorious, and his loyalty to the royal family is unquestionable!" Sister Tina was the first to agree, "To be honest, I still don't think the reward is enough!" ――Do you think so? ”

There were people in the crowd who agreed-that group of annoying nobles, although they didn't say it in their mouths, they were actually very opposed in their hearts, right? Ha!

"I think it's a bit too much...... "the father shook his head, "this boy is not yet sixteen years old and is an earl—what will happen after that?" It is better to beg Your Majesty to take back ......"

"After that? Then give him Princess Lagers! Gatus, who was standing next to Tina, gave a bold answer, causing everyone to laugh.

"Haha! That's a good way to do it. His Majesty Sarabont also joined everyone in looking at Thresteen (Asa), who was deliberately embarrassed, and laughed happily. Suddenly, his face changed, "But this king has other plans-since Gatthes mentioned it just now, this king will also say it-the second thing that this king was going to say before: about the marriage of Princess Lagersis!" ”

It's finally here!

Woo! Ahmad Asa! You can't ......

Alas, after all, he is not Lacey......

Look at Assa, who seems to be self-controlled because of the reward he has just given, (he has played the calm character of the hero Threstine very well, but, but—but the real Lacey will be desperate to prevent Lagersis from marrying at this time!) The real Lacey would definitely yell at His Majesty Sarabont at this time, 'Your Majesty, I don't want those rewards!' - Please marry Princess Lagersis to me! 'Say! Where will it be like Asa's current rules?! Looking at Tez next to me, who seemed to be winning and couldn't hide his smug expression, I was at a loss for what to do - was there really nothing I could do?

When His Majesty announces it, there will be no chance!

What am I going to do? What can I do?

What else can I do now?

Is it really possible to watch Laxis fall victim to politics and war?

Can we really only watch her accept that irresistible fate?

Can you really only watch Lagersis, who is ready to go through this life as the survivor of Reis, marry Tajek and become the princess of Tez because of the trap of conspiracy?!

Woo...... Les...... Sister, what should I do?! Help me......

However, the reality was cruel, and His Majesty's words did not stop at my anxious thoughts: "Princess Lagersis is the king's most cherished youngest daughter, and the king was reluctant to give her to anyone—but! No matter how much this king doesn't want to admit it, no matter how much this king wants to keep her by his side. None of them can prevent Laxis from growing up—the princess is fifteen years old this year, and she is still at the age of marriage—and everyone present knows that the king was very fond of Count Roquetar, but unfortunately both Princess Laxis and Count Roquetar himself are very much against it, alas! At this, His Majesty let out a heavy sigh, "so I had to choose a husband for the princess again." However, to the king's sorrow, there is no young man in my great kingdom of Dolannar who can match the Count of Roquetar! Not a single one! ”

“……”

His Majesty's painful words plunged into the hearts of everyone present like a sword, and in the face of His Majesty's reproach, everyone bowed their heads in shame - (Miss Moranci, who was not far away, seemed to raise her chin with some dissatisfaction, and glanced at her brother Xia Baifei, but in the end, she bowed her head and apologized to everyone, she must have thought that Xia Baifei could be compared to Reis, right?) Actually, not only her, but also me, many nobles who looked at Xia Baifei felt the same way)

"Just when the king was troubled by his daughter's marriage, and had no choice but to ask God for guidance, he unexpectedly received a request from the royal family of another country," went on to His Majesty Sarabant, "and this is the grace of God—the royal family who asked the king to marry Princess Lagersis to him, and who was loved by his own people!" And more importantly—" His Majesty said this, pausing to draw attention, and then continued, "more importantly! Princess Lageris is very much in favor of this family business! So although reluctantly, since Princess Lagersis agreed...... The king decided to agree to the royal family's courtship! ”

The crowd was in a commotion, except for me and Xia Baifei, who had already known the result, (oh! And that smug and disgusting viper! ）

"Who is it?" "Which country?" "Have you heard of it before?"

"Isn't it that Princess Lageris just disagrees on the surface, but in fact, she has long been obsessed with Count Roktar?!"

"Yes! That's what I've heard! ”

"How could that be—" Everyone was talking.

"Hee-hee! Great! Originally, the princess was the most worried! "En! Me too! Doesn't that mean now—" The conversation was mixed with the relieved voices of the Lacey suitors.

My father, Sister Cana, they also looked at me with questioning eyes, Sakura, you must know something, don't you? Why don't you tell us? They clearly wanted to ask.

I'm sorry...... They had just learned of the sad news - I had to nod heavily to them.

"Alright!" His Majesty Sarabont's words paused for a long time, as if observing everyone's surprised reactions, and as if they were giving everyone time to talk, "Don't discuss it anymore...... Everyone, be quiet! After the surroundings were quiet, His Majesty Sarabont looked over to us, "You must be wondering which royal family has won the favor of Princess Lagersis, right?" The king declares now—"

At this time, the poisonous snake beside me puffed up its chest triumphantly.

"This king has announced that he will marry Princess Lagersis to Xia Nan, the second prince of Northridge!"

What the?!

Xia Nan?

"How could it be him?!" (To be continued.) )
