Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 415

415 – Daebaekdo has a daily life – 2

After realizing the bizarre discrimination against Mar, things got complicated. She must have been able to hear even the emperor’s speech in one ear and let it out in the other.

Of course, it’s a speech that must have been full of ceremonial words, so there’s no problem even if you don’t listen.

“My son-in-law came to Jedo, but the child is not there. It’s a pity.”

“It’s a pity too. We should hurry up and spend vacation together.”

Anyway, the inside was so complicated that I couldn’t hear the emperor’s words—— but on the outside, he showed as calm an appearance as possible. It’s been a long time since the father-in-law gathered in one place to say hello, but it’s difficult if the son-in-law is alone with a serious face.

Isn’t Elizabeth’s father, Marquis Iones, and my fifth father-in-law laughing even now?

“Still, it seemed like they kept in touch often. Please keep doing that in the future.”

“Of course, father-in-law.”

I nodded my head to the fifth father-in-law who asked for my hand while holding it. There is nothing to worry about, as Erzebet is a confident child who calls first if he does not receive a call, but he does not want to embarrass his father-in-law by saying such a thing.

“It’s fortunate that Louise is a student. It’s a pity that she’s not by my side, but I don’t know how reliable she is to be by her reliable son-in-law.”

“Well, it seems I gave birth to that child too soon.”

In the meantime, the third father-in-law opened his mouth with a smile, and the fifth father-in-law, who had a non-student daughter, reacted as if he was resentful.

It’s a strange thing. Although it is a family in a broad sense with the same son-in-law, the baron and marquis are having a comfortable conversation. Are you staying in touch with your father-in-law? I can’t explain that intimacy otherwise.

‘It’s good to get close.’

I was convinced alone watching the father-in-law burst into laughter.

Yes, if the wife’s family is on good terms, it’s something to be welcomed as a son-in-law. If there is a confrontation between the in-laws, the lovers who are bound to be strongly influenced by the in-laws will also be in trouble.

I was especially worried about the third father-in-law, who had the miraculous status of ‘a baron caught between a ball, a baron, and an earl’, but looking at him now, I was worried for nothing.

‘Are you the original capybara?’

If you think about it, that Louise’s father. If the temperament of the pink capybara is hereditary, it is said that it is the original and original that surpasses Louise.

Suddenly, the third father-in-law looks different.

The banquet that lasted for several days ended smoothly and peacefully. The Emperor has achieved normal succession to the throne within the oath of allegiance of the nobles, and the nobles have no intention of going against the planting of the new emperor. Rather, he bowed down so as not to be cut by the imperial power that had reached its climax.

Fortunately, I was also able to enjoy that tranquility. Already as the emperor’s attachment toy, confirmation of the creation process of the Inspection City, management of Wiridia, formation of the northern faction, etc. I didn’t bother me with other things, considering that I was bothered by multiple tasks.

“Ah— woo— ah—”

“I’m glad you seem to be in good health today, Your Highness.”

“Aww—”

If anything happens, it’s to go see the crown princess, whose babble has become more fluent. This was a natural thing for him as the crown prince’s godfather, so he had no particular complaints.

Instead, I would like you to refrain from holding her fingers for tens of minutes. It’s not once or twice that I went to see only her face and was caught as it was.

“As expected, it seems right that His Highness recognizes the godfather.”

This time, as she bowed her waist and offered her fingers, the maid, who was watching the scene intuition, said with a smile.

“You mean me?”

“Yes. Your Highness immediately lets go of anyone’s finger except for His Majesty the Emperor, Her Majesty the Empress, and Her Majesty Sanghwang. Only the godfather is the exception.”

“I see.”

At those words, I inadvertently smiled. If the maidservant’s words are true, it means that this little baby recognizes her godfather and considers her like family…

…

“Is His Majesty the Emperor coming too?”

She mentioned the words that almost came naturally in the moment. The situation is also an offering of her fingers to the crown princess?

“You come often. The other day, while hugging Her Highness herself, you caught her beard.”

She didn’t let go for an hour and kept holding her, I was at a loss for words when the lady-in-waiting replied.

An iron man who led the empire for decades, and his beard turned white because he couldn’t avoid the years and hardships. Her cognitive dissonance comes when she thinks of standing there for an hour with that beard held by her granddaughter.

‘The hand holding Situation’s beard.’

Wonderful. A feat that no one else has accomplished on this continent is contained in that little hand. A feat that neither Kagan, who threatened the Empire’s mandate, nor the Pope, who stood at the top of the continent with the emperor, dared to accomplish.

And since my fingers were caught by the Crown Princess, couldn’t I have indirectly touched Sang-hwan’s beard?

“His Majesty Shanghwan loves you very much.”

Of course, it was a very rebellious idea, so I tried to say something normal.

“Ah-“

Then the crown princess babbled as if to answer her.

Her answer sounded like the cry of a hero showing off her own exploits.

‘I’m glad I don’t have a beard.’

If it had, it would have been reduced to one of the feats of this little hero, like the situation.

It is terrifying.

I finally returned to the academy. It was a long outing that made me wonder how long it had been since he returned.

There will be no long-term outings until the academy dispatch work itself is over. The north has also been quiet, and the emperor has been newly enthroned, but there is no chance that he will be dragged back to the system again.

From noble mtl dot net

This is not at the level of a fortuitous line or a happiness circuit, but an extremely obvious common sense. If something of this magnitude happens again, it will be a curse from God.

‘…Curse.’

There was a wound that reminded me of a curse, but I hurriedly shook my head and brushed it off.

‘There is nothing like that.’

I am a priest with the stigma of God, not a curse. God himself, not another being, said so.

Yes, there is no curse from the gods on me. Since there is only God’s stigma, I believe that a peaceful and serene daily life will welcome you in the future. Surely it will.

That’s how I calmed myself down and moved on. There would be no one in the club room yet, and Beatrix quickly disappeared, saying that there would be classes soon. So, it was automatically decided where to go.

‘Chairman’s Office.’

I have to go see my first lover who unintentionally discriminated against me.

***

Sitting on the sofa in the president’s office, I blankly stared at the ceiling. It’s strange to see the owner sitting on a sofa prepared for guests, but these days I feel so empty that I can’t even pay attention to such an obvious thing.

I know very well why this feeling of emptiness arises. However, even if the cause is known, it is impossible to solve it.

‘I have nothing to do.’

Because the feeling of emptiness I experience is a feeling that arises when there is nothing to do. It’s a feeling that can’t be relieved unless I make the work myself.

This is something that is not normally possible. As the student council president of the academy, if it’s enough to free up time, there’s no way there’s a situation where there’s nothing to do.

However, when the position of being at the end of the third year and the position that he had no intention of becoming a bureaucrat overlapped, this strange situation unfolded.

“Chairman, you are graduating soon, so you should spend the last time comfortably. We will take care of the work.”

It is sad that prospective graduates suffer until the end, so the vice president took the job and asked him to leave it to him.

“That’s right. There aren’t any big events anymore, right? It’s okay to miss at least one person.”

Amelia actively supported the vice president’s argument, rather than stopping it.

That’s not wrong. Now, the academy has no special schedule until the vacation ceremony, and it is not at the level where there will be a problem if one president is missing.

The reason why past presidents worked until the end is simple. That way, when you take the bureaucratic exam or interview, it will be of some help. Now, no bureaucrats will look favorably on those who become lazy after graduation.

“Thank you. Then I’ll trust you.”

That’s why I was forced to retire under the pressure of the executives.

Honestly, it was comfortable. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t relieved after being freed from my daily work.

However, that sense of liberation did not last long. I would have been happy if I had been freed from the situation with a knife, but as my daily life continued without a knife and no work, I began to feel more and more depressed.

‘But it’s coming today.’

I slowly lowered my gaze from staring at the ceiling. It was a terrible sense of emptiness, but I was able to endure it somehow because of Beatrix and Elizabeth, Louise and Irina.

Even today is the day the knife comes. It is the day when Carl, who left the academy, finally returns.

I’m glad. If Carl had returned even a little late, he might have been depressed.

– Knock Knock

“Mar. Are you there?”

And as if heaven helped me, as soon as I thought of the sword, I heard a knock and a longing voice.

I smiled reflexively. It was clear that Enn took pity on me as I became lethargic day by day.

“Yes, come in.”

Hurrying to get up from the drooping body, he replied.

My heart beats. It’s early, not even lunch yet, and Beatrix must have just started class. I can monopolize the sword until Elizabeth arrives by surprise.

My empty heart started to fill up with happiness before I knew it. The free time I can spend with Karl is the best.

“I’m here—”

Carl had just entered the president’s office and hugged him before he could finish his sentence. Carl, who seemed surprised by the sudden hug, soon hugged him and patted him on the back.

“It’s been such a long time since I’ve come.”

With those words, the knife kissed my forehead.

I am happy. After all, happiness isn’t just about being comfortable, it’s something you can feel when you’re with someone you love.

“I’m sorry. But please bear with me, since Marr will be able to attend events like this once he graduates.”

At the comfort of the sword, the corner of his mouth went up, not knowing that it was high in the sky.

No matter how happy I am, I also had a desire to complain a little, but when I hear that, I can’t say anything.

“Okay. It’s not long now, so I’ll be patient.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Then, the knife kisses the forehead again.

Instinctively, I gave more strength to the hand holding the sword. To do such high-intensity skinship in a row in such a short period of time, I feel like my legs will loosen up if I’m not careful—

“Marni, who has such a big heart, can I ask you one favor?”

At the end of the story, I was able to catch my senses.

“No. You said it strangely. Actually, it’s a notice, not a request.”

“Yes?”

And I blinked at the incomprehensible words. Notification, there’s no way Carl would do such a rude thing?

As I looked at Carl with a puzzled heart, Carl smiled deeply.

“We’re about to get married, but I think it’s hard to treat you respectfully. I’ll speak comfortably from now on.”

“…Yes?”

The third kiss on the forehead.

“Are you okay?”

I felt like my mind would fly away.
