Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 420

420 – Two titles – 1

Counselor and Irina sharing one cookie. Looking at the wonderful appearance, he quietly turned his head.

It is a heartwarming sight for lovers to share love, but it is not a sight for others to see openly. That’s why I just turned my head without any criticism or ridicule.

To be honest, I am embarrassed. Although she was well aware of the relationship between the advisor and Irina, she did not know how to show affection like that casually. I don’t know if it’s a simple contact, but that’s a bit.

‘Is the Empire active in dating?’

For a moment, I even had that thought. It is reasonable to think that Empire has a culture that values love with a lover more than the eyes of others.

It’s a fairly probable hypothesis. Isn’t there a considerable distance between my homeland, the United Kingdom of Juven and the Empire, because they are the ends of the continent? Even if the culture of Juven and the Empire is different, it is not strange.

‘That wasn’t it.’

However, the hypothesis was quickly abandoned. Louise, who had just brought in a new cookie, stiffened on the spot, and the temporary advisor, smiling heehee, looked at the cookie in her hand as if contemplating something.

Even Princess Marghetta and Princess Majong showed similar reactions, which means that the torturer’s actions are unconventional even from the point of view of the imperial people.

‘Torture is unusual.’

After careful consideration, I came to that conclusion. It was not that the imperials were aggressive, but that torture was unconventional. I almost misunderstood the culture of the empire.

And if it’s torture, it’s understandable even if it shows an unconventional move. Since he has recently taken a risk and served in the army, it can be assumed that his affection for his lovers grew during his military service. It is only natural that the longing for everyday life grows in a crisis.

Yes, of course. It’s normal, but…

‘Why are you?’

I accidentally looked at Erich. Let’s assume that the splendid expression of affection that the adviser is showing now is because of the war. However, the torture made a lover even before the war, and showed affection even though it was small. He acted like a normal person.

However, Erich is not normal. Even though people around him support him, he is like a pine tree.

‘There’s no other blood flowing.’

If the two of them were boys, at least, if the torture and Erich looked so different, she would have thought that Erich was a sad mutant.

But torture and Erich are blood brothers. Immediately after Louise kicked the cage and showed interest in the advisor, the advisor at the time showed an indifferent look like Erich now. No matter who saw it, they were blood relatives with the same personality.

In that case, shouldn’t Erich make a lover like torture? Why does he still act like a torturer from the past?

‘It’s a pity.’

As soon as I saw Sera sitting next to Erich, I almost sighed. While the others looked bewildered or silently averted the torturer’s display of affection, she watched the spectacle as if she were envious.

Then I glanced at Erich, then at Torture and Irina, then at Erich again.

It’s a pity. Other than that, I can’t think of anything else to say.

“Ugh, Erbne…”

In the midst of that, I heard Louise’s voice as if gnashing my teeth, so I hurriedly looked in that direction. He spends intimate time with others with his cookies? Enough anger and jealousy to turn your eyes—

‘Ah.’

I gently closed my eyes. She didn’t grit her teeth, but had a cookie in her mouth.

“It’s very cold today.”

I heard Ryutis muttering softly, but I ignored it.

Because I felt the same way.

***

There was a bit of a fuss, but the party to commemorate the comeback ended without incident.

‘It’s okay if no one is injured.’

Sitting on the bed, she started rationalizing herself. Although the other lovers were frightened and her crew looked away, there was no physical damage anyway. If so, it’s right that it ended smoothly.

Of course, I admit that I showed too much in front of teenagers who are growing up, but considering what I haven’t done in the past, wouldn’t this be appropriate?

“Come think about what to do for me and Fenelia! She’ll lock you up in her cellar and won’t let you go if it’s ambiguous!”

In return, it seems that the vacation will be a little difficult, but since I have the karma I have to deal with, I have decided to accept it humbly.

‘I was worried what would happen if I endured because I couldn’t go.’

Involuntarily, I let out a sigh of relief. In fact, it was only natural for her to declare the cellar confinement from Eri’s point of view. To the extent that I have to thank her for returning to the institution rather obediently.

Because of her harsh words, her side was so cold that she couldn’t go alone. There was no other way but to comfort her when she lay down. She has nothing to say even though she called Fenelia in the island as her reinforcements and made a fuss.

I am grateful and sorry for that. Although she seems to have become a bit of a gangster, she seems to have a wide heart.

…By the way, were the expressions that a gangster and a big heart could be used for the same person?

‘How about it?’

As she pondered, she wondered when Eri was normal. No matter how unusual and strange it is, it can happen if the target is Eri.

She took out the telecommunications orb in her arms, convinced alone. It’s not polite to call late at night, but I can’t help it because I’m a person who is released from work only at night. It would be better to call at night than to call during work.

– A knife?

And I wonder if that thought was right, the answer came back shortly after I contacted him.

“Sorry at this hour, Father.”

– No, it’s okay. Just finished work.

First of all, after apologizing, my father shook his head as if he was okay.

Seeing that scene, I couldn’t erase the bitter feeling. What a painful job it is to be a member of Congress, to have to work until late even with his retirement approaching.

It is fortunate that Erich will be freed from that pain once he graduates. Erich is young, so he can suffer a little.

– But what happened? She heard that today she has returned to the academy, but she should be spending time with her wives in time to contact her father.

“I’ve had enough. I just arrived at my inn.”

– There is never enough time between couples. Keep in mind that the more, the better.

For a moment, he thought of his father being chased away by his mother, but he pushed it beyond his memory. It’s a very rude thought in front of my father who gave me valuable advice.

“I’ll keep this in mind. But since I’ve contacted you, please look at it today.”

– Yes, I can’t help it, so tell me.

That’s why, when I deliberately trembled, my father answered with a faint smile.

“I want to inherit the title.”

At those words, the father’s smile quickly disappeared.

I’m not particularly serious about it. Since I made a big decision, you made up my mind to take it seriously.

– As I said before, you don’t need to get a title right away. His Majesty the Situation will tolerate it until early next year.

“It’s okay. I want to take over within this month at the latest.”

– Is that so?

My father quietly closed his eyes at the firm answer. Since you have confirmed that my determination is firm, it seems that you are checking the schedule.

I am sorry that I seem to be passing on the big event of title succession to my father, who has just finished his parliamentary duties, but I really want to be succeeded within this month at the latest.

‘It should be finished before marriage.’

As my father said, the last line of succession to the title is early next year. Since it was a sudden succession, I would understand the situation that my father wanted to retire to that extent.

But at the beginning of next year, I have to marry Muu-Ryo Mar. However, the title succession ceremony overlaps with the wedding season? A title succession ceremony may be buried or a wedding ceremony may be buried, or both, both of which should not be buried.

But I don’t intend to delay the marriage because of the succession of the title, so of course it is right to accelerate the succession of the title. Because Maru is more important than title.

– …Well. You’d better deal with it right away, even for her first daughter-in-law.

Before long, my father nodded his head as if he had come to the same conclusion as me.

– At the earliest, we can proceed this weekend. It won’t be over the moon at the latest, so don’t worry.

“Yes, I understand.”

It doesn’t matter anytime as long as you’re not late.

***

After the knife’s greeting, the light of the communication tool disappeared.

‘It’s a succession ceremony.’

I smiled involuntarily. Since His Majesty Sang Hwang had already ordered it, the succession to the title was confirmed, but hearing that he would be succeeded by Carl gave me a new feeling.

And I felt a strange feeling, both relieved and empty, anxious and relieved. The 300-year history of the Krasius family, the moment when the owner of the Krasius family, who was appointed Imperial Count by Eimanka II, changes. This is the moment when I, still in my 40s, put down the 300-year history and hand it over to my son, who is in his 20s.

If you are not relieved because you have put down your burden, then you have no feelings, and if you are not empty because you have put it down before you die, you are irresponsible.

Since you handed over your burden to your son who is only in his 20s, if you are not anxious, then you have no heart, and if you are not relieved because you are a dependable son, you have no faith.

‘If it were you, you would do well.’

That strange feeling gradually gave way to lightness and relief. If it’s Carl, if it’s my son, I’m sure he’ll do well.

‘…Are you a double count now?’

He smiled again. Carl already has the Countess of Wiridia. He is treated as a count according to the Empire’s white sword classification, so Carl became a magnate who was not a duke or a marquess, but also held two counts.

This is truly amazing. If you become a high-ranking noble, you will never have a title equivalent to your family’s original title. It is strange that a duke has another duchy, and a marquis another marquis.

But Carl did it. Although it was an expedient of being an imperial white, he became a high-ranking aristocrat with a title equal to this title.

‘Perhaps this title can be changed.’

Yes, if Count Wiridia is changed to Marquis, the original title of the Krasius family may have to be changed.

‘Marquis Krasius.’

As I repeated the unfamiliar name to myself, I burst into laughter.

It is a delusional idea. Carl’s victory is always powerful, not certain. Right now, the power of the sword can surpass the marquis, but no one knows in the future.

But why? I had a hunch that one day Carl would struggle with that problem.
