Chapter 458. Aim, second? (2)
“Is that true?”
One of the young ladies asked a little suspiciously.
In the first place, rumors are just rumors.
They aren’t clumsy enough to believe it straight away either.
Above all, when it comes to Arell Ernesia, in the end, you can’t judge everything just by hearing rumors.
In the past, what kind of gossip was circulating even before he got married?
“Because it sounds pretty good this time!”
The young lady who brought up the topic made a little fuss.
There must be something that makes you excited like this.
Expectations rose between them.
“Think about it. Would a person like him ever have only one wife?”
“That’s true… but you haven’t left it until now, have you?”
“There was a story that he kept his loyalty until his wife’s child was born.”
“Oh my gosh.”
What makes sense?
Now that the child was born, it would be no wonder that ordinary aristocratic families officially recognized one or two of their concubines.
“Above all, everyone has heard rumors about him. Will he, and no one else, take it?”
“oh!”
For a conversation between young ladies, the subject is getting quite absurd, but no one says anything.
More important than that is the possibility of what might happen in the future.
“Come to think of it, I’ve heard that my family would strongly recommend it to him…
“Me too.”
“me too.”
One by one, the two begin to match.
The young lady who brought up the story only then smiled as if satisfied.
“It won’t be such a ridiculous rumor. Above all, he always has only beautiful women by his side, doesn’t he?”
“ah! I heard that too! I heard that everyone is a lover…
“Aha! okay! Always by my side…. Sometimes….
It may be the perfect proof.
Doesn’t that mean the evidence is everywhere?
Rather than that, isn’t it becoming more openly explicit now?
But right now, no young lady cares even about that.
Because it has always been a topic of conversation like this for them.
“That is what it is.”
“yes?”
“In other words, rather than a political marriage between families. You are pursuing passion on the spot.”
Once he spoke around, the meaning would have been sufficiently conveyed.
“Passion… that’s what it is.”
“yes. In other words, shouldn’t we be able to stand next to him only if we act before anyone else?”
It was as if she was deliberately trying to motivate the other young girls.
A guest from a foreign country invited by the Lady of the Marquis of Gnebel.
Chestel Sepradil.
He encouraged them with only a cautious smile.
“Now is the perfect opportunity.”
“I’m afraid of this world, so I can’t even go out to play.”
Let me suddenly complain.
Damon, who was discussing with me about improving the undiluted coke solution, gave me a puzzled look.
“Are you talking about that rumor?”
“…What is it, did you hear it too?”
“It seems my subordinates have heard rather than me.”
How widespread is it in the world?
The rumor he refers to is that ‘If you dare to approach me, you might be able to take me as a concubine.’
“But isn’t that always the case?”
“No… this time it’s a little more drastic than that.”
“How much do you think it is…?”
“I think these days, when I show up at banquets or social gatherings, I wonder if I might be looking for that… woman…?”
“Are you holding back your laughter?”
He shakes his head silently, but he must be laughing out of embarrassment.
“To be honest, wasn’t it until now?”
Well, there are a lot of corners that I can guess.
It was because before marriage, I moved as my mind went and as my body went.
I’ve never crossed a really dangerous line, though.
I’m going to miss it too.
“…I thought it was my karma at first too.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“I think someone was deliberately bewitched.”
There is a hint that it is intentionally driving public opinion that way.
It is natural to bring a concubine to me as much as possible.
And is it a tactic to raise expectations so that it is acceptable?
It’s a dupe using classic gossip.
“Thanks to you, these days, wherever you go, there are young ladies and everyone is pushing you.”
“Isn’t that what always happened?”
“Even secretly trying to lead you to a garden courtyard or something like that?”
It’s to the point that I’m a little bit cold.
The ladies of Ernesia Kingdom are so frightening.
Well, the motto of the kingdom is ‘conquer the opponent by yourself’.
Maybe that’s why this kind of competition is particularly heated.
Damon opened his eyes wide as if he had finally realized that this was a bit out of the ordinary.
However, I don’t particularly go beyond the beauty world.
If I had passed, I would be on my knees in front of Pena by now, but I wouldn’t be sighing here.
“Girls these days are so bold.”
“That’s how it is. Anyway, this guy’s popularity…
I lamented.
Why doesn’t this guy’s popularity fade even after he gets married?
Ah, you sinful pro.
Is this the path he had to endure from the time he decided to become a pro at Casanova?
“It’s a sin to be so popular.”
To play around pretending to sigh in an exaggerated way on purpose.
“Then can’t we just take it in?”
“???? hmm?”
“Isn’t it rather strange when you think about it? Why is Arel-sama not accepting other women?”
It was unexpected. he would say something like this
No… After all, Damon has a normal way of thinking by the standards here.
“In the kingdom, it is rather natural for nobles to have multiple consorts.”
“Hmm?????
“On the contrary, it seems that these frivolous rumors are circulating because you haven’t welcomed more until now.”
“…is that so?”
Hearing this kind of advice, I tend to mistakenly believe that this kind of thing happened because I am naive, but that is not necessarily the case.
Since then, I have been doing everything I have to do.
I don’t think it’s that much of a difference between then and now.
“No, I don’t remember being so careful.”
“Simply playing with fire. Having multiple spouses is one thing.”
“…Damon did you eat something wrong today?”
I never thought he would say something like this.
It’s really unexpected.
“I don’t think anyone else would have said this, if not me. Above all, considering that he is a person with such a huge territory, he may not be defenseless.”
“…Hmm, is that so?”
“Originally, it is basic to consolidate power through marriage. Arel-sama wouldn’t really need it, right?”
“That’s right.”
That’s right.
For me, there is only a fear of confusing the family if I take the method of using marriage.
There is no advantage to having a relationship with a person in power.
Right now I am not in a position to benefit.
position to benefit.
That’s why I wasn’t conscious of the concubine.
I don’t know if I have an accident like that.
“Then you should let it go even more.”
“Is that the conclusion?”
“If you have a few more spouses, no one can outwardly complain. In vulgar terms, Arel is only one, but isn’t it hard to keep telling him to keep a woman?”
Is that an excuse?
“That… isn’t that hard?”
“You know that it’s not a problem to cheat like that, right?”
“Keep.. w
This time, I also have some things I’m convinced of.
“There is no need to force it. Aren’t there many people who can naturally accept it if they don’t cling to things like power or personal connections?”
I was at a loss for words for the first time in a while.
When I reacted like this, Damon put on a proud face as if he had won for the first time in a while.
….You know how to work hellish overtime sooner or later, son of a bitch.
‘It’s not even wrong.’
What Damon said makes sense.
If it’s noisy outside, you can build up your inner self here and get rid of the excuse to invite.
A lover or whatever is good.
Does it mean that once it is entered, the empty digits are filled?
It’s not like taking a chair.
“Above all, if Arel-sama reveals what she wants, even the girls won’t refuse. Don’t you already know?”
“Yes, yes. For now, don’t remember.”
To Darman’s advice, I only answered moderately.
“I understand what you mean, but isn’t the most important thing different?”
“What is?”
“It’s just what they think.”
But somehow, this alchemist got fed up.
“That sounds like a pointless worry.”
“Okay.”
I evaded it moderately, saying that I really don’t know.
“Anyway, please seriously consider it… Well, maybe the people around Arell-sama will be conscious of it first.”
“Hmm??????
“Wouldn’t it be better for Arel-nim to lead the way?”
What will it be like?
I just slipped it through.
If I say that, it sounds like I’m being eaten.
But why is it strangely undeniable?
‘Hmm? It’s been quite strange lately, hasn’t it?’
Over the past few days, Pena has been carefully checking the actions of her husband, Arell, the lord of Fahilia.
To be precise, I carefully looked at his specific actions.
it’s a woman
Pena also guessed that he was showing a fairly liberal attitude in matters of women.
Especially before marriage, it seems that he was very glamorous.
‘Well… because the family is the family.’
The pilgrimage of the men of the Kingdom of Ernesia was as famous as she knew, even though she was from a foreign country.
So, I was really worried about it.
‘Will it be okay?’ do.
There was also anxiety that perhaps, with marriage as an opportunity, he might be taking concubines all the time.
I was also quite determined.
In that respect, Arel was unexpected.
Rather, there were things I realized after I got married.
‘Hmm, I put it like this. Surprisingly, it seems to be limited in women’s issues… Maybe not….
The number of women close to him is limited.
I wondered if the name of the proud Ernesia royal family would make me cry.
On the one hand, I was relieved.
In fact, that didn’t mean Arell was neglecting Pena at all.
You already know there.
That Arel is constantly rejecting invitations to have a concubine recommended by those around her.
‘Surprisingly, he’s adamant about that…
He seemed to notice that he was paying attention.
He always acts as he pleases, but in reality draws a line.
They seem to live according to their desires, but there is a corner where they are surprisingly careful about something.
Personally, it would be nice if the concubine issue would be postponed.
I guess it can’t be
It is her personal desire.
‘But you have to be careful.’
I realized that fact after seeing the young ladies who kept trying to talk to Arel during the last celebration.
In addition, a situation arose where the young ladies didn’t take themselves seriously and pushed for the strange rumors these days, perhaps because of money.
Arel doesn’t say much, but Pena has already noticed.
‘I’d rather…. if I can’t put it off any longer…
there’s a workaround I’ve been thinking about from before.
‘I’d rather keep the leash on properly!’
That conclusion has now been reached.
