Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy - Chapter 444

444 – The merry wedding – 3

I touched my eyes and sighed softly. My eyes feel sore and dry, perhaps because I’ve been overworking them for several hours.

‘I sent a lot.’

I looked at the unopened letters piled up on one side of my desk and carefully picked one up. It’s just a shame that there are more unread letters than read letters, even though several hours were spent.

However, it is also something that must be endured as a noble facing an unfortunate event. Unless you want to cut ties with the world and live alone, interacting with others is important.

[I sincerely congratulate the Minister on his marriage. Even though I can’t greet you in person─ ]

I suppressed my fatigue and checked the new letter, and this time it started with a similar repertoire.

Anyway, it means that anyone who sends a letter during this period will not be able to attend the wedding. In fact, it is safe to say that all letters contain the same content.

‘He is the commander of the 6th Corps.’

So, I quickly flipped through the contents and checked the sender, and the name of the 6th Corps commander was proudly written.

The 6th Corps Commander is a member of the Eastern District Army that protects the border. Of course, it would be difficult to come to a system. I had guessed it because commanders of other eastern armies had also sent letters.

‘We only exchanged greetings occasionally.’

I quickly remembered my relationship with the 6th Corps Commander and classified the 6th Corps Commander’s letters separately.

If you receive a congratulatory message, you should send a reply, but you cannot send the same level of reply to everyone. Wouldn’t it be right to send it considering the other person’s position or relationship with me?

I may seem like a snob, but I can’t help it. If the earl and baron are treated the same way, the count becomes angry, and if the feelings toward a close friend and an acquaintance they meet in passing are the same, the close friend becomes disappointed. That’s what social life is all about.

‘…There is not a single letter from the Marquis.’

As I was checking the other letters one by one, I came to a truth that I should not have realized. There is no marquis among those who sent a letter concluding their absence.

All of the letters I have seen so far are from people below the count or in positions similar to that. There were no letters sent by the Duke or Marquis who were greater than him.

Of course, there are a lot of unopened letters left, so they may be mixed up among them, but this tower of letters is a lump that the butler once organized and handed to me. It organizes letters sent from high-ranking officials so that they can be read quickly.

But there are still no letters from the duke or marquis?

‘Even the marquis is coming.’

This means that everyone will attend without having to ask for permission for non-attendance. All thirteen marquises spread out across the north, south, east and west of the empire.

A bitter smile came out. I knew that all five Dukes would attend the wedding, but I had no idea that all of the Marquis would also attend. I thought a few people would not attend.

“From what I can tell, this is a Imperial Baek wedding.”

In the end, I ended up lamenting in my voice without realizing it. Even a normal royal wedding wouldn’t be this spectacular. Isn’t this almost like the wedding of the heir to the throne?

If someone criticizes a single noble for enjoying too much power, I will make them raise their head and look at the imperial family. This is not what happened because they put all kinds of pressure on a young guy who is still in his early 20s. A powerful person with an expected lifespan of several decades is getting married, so why not come and show up?

‘Do this five times.’

The only minor problem is that there are five more weddings left.

‘Hundreds of years in reality.’

My life expectancy may increase to hundreds of years rather than decades.

…

‘How far did you read?’

I cleared my head and started reading the letter again.

For now, let’s just focus on the situation at hand.

I felt again that Mar was her beloved youngest child.

“Our youngest is finally getting married. Congratulations.”

The older brother smiles while stroking Mar’s head.

“Well, that little girl has already found her mate… The one who was toddling around…”

“This guy is talking about how many years ago.”

The third brother-in-law weeps over the youngest brother’s marriage, and the other brothers-in-law comfort him. And even Mar was caught in the middle, her face turning red and not knowing what to do.

Thanks to the visit of my brother and brother-in-law who came to the island before my father-in-law and mother-in-law, the mansion became noisy again.

‘It looks good.’

Yes, it is a nice and peaceful sight to see. They sincerely congratulate their family members on their marriage and seem to be sad that the family is leaving them.

Of course, Mar, who was unilaterally treated as a child, took pains to erase her from her sight. To be honest, there is quite a difference in age between her and her fourth brother-in-law, who is just above her. It’s not strange that she is treated as her daughter rather than the youngest.

“My Mar, I just graduated from the academy and went straight to the priesthood… I wish my brother-in-law could live with us…”

He smiled awkwardly at the words of the third executioner, who was still sobbing and wiping his eyes with a handkerchief.

If I were to live with the Barenti duchy rather than the way that Mar came out of the Barenti duchy, the only way I could live was with Daryl’s son-in-law. This is only possible if you give up the title of Count Tyglehen.

Actually, it’s a method that’s a bit appealing. Shaking off the burden of being an Imperial Baek and living within the walls of a duchy? Isn’t this the perfect unemployed lifestyle route? This is the future that every human being dreams of.

‘It’s impossible, though.’

But unfortunately, I have come too far to become a good son-in-law for any family. If you change your last name, you will have to give up all your current titles. I don’t know if I could have more than I have now, but if I just unilaterally give it up, there’s no way the emperor would allow it.

It would have been possible if it had been about 4 years earlier. It’s a shame.

“Don’t worry. I will come and say hello often.”

“There’s no need to do that. Just do it when Mar says he’s leaving. He’ll be fine in a few days.”

Anyway, when she opened her mouth to comfort her third executioner, he shook his head firmly.

It was such a harsh and cold evaluation that the third brother-in-law glared at his older brother, but his older brother gave him a look as if he was wondering what to do.

‘This is brother and sister.’

I looked at that and quietly lowered my gaze. I forgot about it because I only saw them biting and sucking Mar, the youngest sibling, but that’s normal for normal siblings.

No matter how old the siblings get, that is the average…

“You don’t have to force yourself to come, but when you have children, definitely come. Okay?”

In the meantime, the fourth executioner hugged Mar and spoke softly. Maybe it’s because she’s the older sister, but I feel more affection for her than my other siblings.

“The sooner the better, so it doesn’t have to be after the wedding.”

“Oh, sister!”

She closed her eyes while listening to Mar’s voice screaming.

I didn’t hear anything.

After the powerful blow of her fourth execution, Mar’s mental state was in tatters, visible to her naked eyes. From the perspective of a lady who is full of elegance and dignity, ‘speeding is okay.’ It looks like she can’t bear it since she heard the same thing to her face.

And indeed, fortunately, we are a couple who obeys the speed limit and did not break the speed limit.

‘I’m going to speed and see what happens.’

She was already disliked by her father-in-law, but she managed to raise her image to like him, but if she speeds with her precious youngest, her waist may bend in the opposite direction. That’s troublesome.

Furthermore, my conscience also played a role in preventing speeding. According to imperial law, you are an adult from the age of 17, but I felt strange because I lived in a world where people treated me as an adult from the age of 20. I didn’t wait until Mar graduated from Academy for no reason.

Of course, if Mar found out, he would be upset. She said she had been an adult for three years, but her husband-to-be treated her like a minor.

“Knife…”

“Oh, I’m here.”

Just as the corner of her mouth was about to rise, she hurriedly answered Mar’s voice.

Her older brother and sister-in-law had already gone home, but Marr was sitting on her sofa, looking lost. It must mean that the words of the fourth execution were that strong.

“…What you said, you also had a knife, right?”

“My sister-in-law was probably just joking because she was sad that Mar was leaving. Don’t worry about it too much.”

A creeping voice, Raphic, smiled and stroked Marr’s head. As expected, those words were too provocative for Mar-

“If I get it now, will it be born within this year?”

?

My body became stiff. What now?

“Ka, since Kaldo is a nobleman, I think it would be better to have children as soon as possible…”

Marr must have read the confusion in her eyes and muttered in a quieter voice.

I see. It was a consideration to strengthen the stability of the Crasius family.

“If you make an effort as soon as the wedding is over, the baby will be born within this year.”

At those words, Mar quietly nodded her head.

She pretended not to notice that her ears were so red that she couldn’t blush any more.

***

Every day was fun. Treating guests who came to congratulate me and Karl on their marriage, meeting my brother and sisters who came before the wedding day, meeting Karl’s maternal grandparents whom I had never seen before, and reading letters expressing congratulations. Also. It was all fun.

It is an unforgettable memory. Even if 10 years pass, 50 years pass, or even when I die, these are memories I will never forget.

But I don’t think any memory can surpass the happiness of today.

“Mar.”

Today is the day I have been dreaming of for several years and eagerly waiting for.

“Let’s go. We should arrive before the guests.”

Kal is always handsome, but strangely, his smile shines even brighter today. Karl opened the carriage door and held out his hand to me.

I looked at the knife and then glanced away. From the main building of the mansion to the front door, I saw the employees lined up on both sides, the sisters, Louise, and Irina smiling as if telling them to get on board.

“Yes.”

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth. With a brighter voice than ever and happier emotions than ever.

“Let’s go.”

Carl smiled as he took the outstretched hand. As Carl said, it is right to arrive before the guests.

Because we are the main characters today.

Because he is the main character who has to show off his happy side to the guests.

‘Margueta Crasius.’

When I thought of the name that would be called in a few hours, my heart began to pound.
