I Was Summoned To Be Sold as a Son-in-Law - I Was Summoned To Be Sold as a Son-in-Law chapter 57

57 – Waltham

“As expected, my worries were unfounded.”

“……”

I took off the necklace and handed it to the kingdom guard and remained silent.

Actually, I didn’t intentionally ignore her words.

It was because my mind was so complicated that I couldn’t answer that question.

‘Bloodline? Anyway, bloodline just needs to be included in the family register?’

I am a fake, but anyway, I am listed on the Marquis Anderson’s official family register.

Perhaps it was only natural.

This side must be officially registered so that there will be no problems in the in-law relationship with the duke family in the future.

But I don’t think this artifact will take kindly to such things.

These magic items are strictly based on the user’s origin.

There is no need for school or regional ties, only blood ties are needed.

“Well then, welcome to Viln.”

The guard guided our group into the castle gate.

Even as I walked after her, I couldn’t get out of my thoughts about her.

‘What on earth is it? It turns out that it was my delusion that I was summoned to this world and that I was really the son of the Anderson family?’

I shook my head.

Even if it were a delusion, Marquise Maria’s age could not have been a delusion.

She is only about 10 years older than me.

For that reason, my official age here is set at early 20s.

Then, somehow, we can make it up that Mrs. Maria gave birth to me when she was in her mid to late teens.

This is because, here, children are born as early as 16 years old.

As I was thinking about all sorts of things, the guard who was walking ahead slowed down and came next to me.

“Sorceress.”

‘Could it be this?’

I have never declared myself a sorcerer with my mouth, and I have never announced in the kingdom that I am a sorcerer.

But because I was a black-haired man from the Anderson family, the Thomas Anderson sorcerer theory had already become an established fact.

Now I have almost become the official sorceress of the kingdom.

‘Grandpa is a top secret person…’

Anyway, if I had to guess one more thing, it would be this.

‘Has the majority’s perception made me even acknowledge this world…’

Like a religion.

Like the gods of other genres.

Their setting is that divine power is usually determined by the number of believers.

Perhaps being recognized as a sorcerer could be such a mechanism?

“Sorceress!”

“Yes, yes?”

I woke up from my continuing delusion when I heard a slightly loud voice calling me.

“Actually, the person who would like to see you first is in Viln right now.”

“Who is it?”

I think you must be in a fairly high position to be able to ask a kingdom guard, that is, a civil servant, for something like this.

“This is Princess Tyler.”

“Yes?”

Since she wasn’t on my list of potential people, she asked.

‘Why is she, who should be in the royal capital, in such a remote area?’

Children of noble families like her usually do not go outside their territory or capital until they reach adulthood.

Even more so if she is the daughter of a duke, the highest rank among nobles.

But you came all the way to this place, the northernmost point of the kingdom, not just the king or the surrounding areas?

“You are currently staying at the Lion Inn, so I will guide you there.”

“If you are Princess Tyler, then you mean that hero?”

Rishari, who overheard our conversation, squeezed in between us.

“That’s right.”

The guard answered calmly.

‘A hero… Somehow it doesn’t suit me.’

The second coming of a hero that appears once every few generations.

Excessive magical power appears as evidence of this.

I know why it was given that title because I know the general story, but

I thought it was a little awkward for Betty, who seemed to me to be nothing but an introverted girl.

“He is also the nobleman’s lover.”

Jespa said something from behind.

“Hey, Sorceress. Can’t you let me meet you too?”

Lee Shari looks up at me with her bright eyes.

As a witch with a keen curiosity, there was no way she wouldn’t be curious about the only hero in the world.

“He doesn’t notice!”

Kalia, the leader of the party, pulled Richari’s arm and urged her.

If this is the reunion of ordinary lovers, Calia is absolutely right.

But in a way, the two who were forced into a relationship were still a little awkward with each other.

Above all, her feelings for him were still a little lacking for her to be her lover.

Betty is a woman who almost embodies my ideal type.

Just because she’s your ideal type doesn’t mean you’ll feel unconditional love for her.

Well, that’s my case, but I’m not sure about Betty’s case.

She seemed to have a certain crush on me, but don’t jump to conclusions about her.

“No. You all go together.”

“Gwae, are you okay?”

Kalia asks carefully.

“Yes, it made sense that I would accompany you all to the royal capital anyway.”

Anyway, the reason they came this far is because they want to take me back to the royal capital together.

We will be moving with Calia’s team, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea for her to show up in advance.

“Then I will guide you.”

“We will split up here.”

As the Kingdom Guard tried to guide us again, we heard farewell words from behind.

Gabriella’s adventurer team and the merchants they escort.

“We decided to stay at the Wolf Inn. Thank you so much for your help.”

Gabriella bowed deeply to us and held out one of her leather pouches to Calia.

“This is the price of our lives that our team received as additional compensation. Please accept this as an example.”

Kalya was troubled as she looked at me.

“Our team also owes Mr. Anderson his life, so this money goes to him.”

‘You’re leaving this to me?’

I waved my hands.

“I’m fine. Please use it to treat the injured person.”

I already have a lot of the advance payment I received from the Andersen family deposited in a neutral bank similar to a Swiss bank.

Not even the Andersons who deposited the money can touch it. Money that only I can spend.

The pre-deposited amount alone is a huge amount in my opinion as a commoner.

There is no need to receive this kind of money.

I heard that the number of priests in this world is extremely small, but their divine power is great.

A severed arm can be cured if you pay a lot of money.

For that purpose, I used a small ice spear to store her arm while I was here.

“What a true man! If it weren’t for the nobleman, he would have asked me to marry him!”

A muscular, blonde, tanned adventurer complimented me.

“Regis!”

Gabriella, the leader of the team, calls her name and warns her.

“hahahaha, it’s okay. I think it would be a good idea to go to the temple quickly.”

“Thank you. If there is anything I can help you with someday, I will definitely repay this debt.”

Gabriella’s team and the merchant left like that.

“Okay then, let’s go. To the Lion Inn!”

Rishari urged the movement. It looks like he is quite looking forward to meeting Betty.

—————————————————–

The Lion Inn was a fairly luxurious inn.

But I had doubts.

‘This much?’

The inns mainly used by the nobles of the royal capital were so luxurious that the word hotel was more appropriate.

This place wasn’t that bad, it was a little neater than the places used by the general public.

The guard who accompanied me looked at me and opened his mouth.

“The princess said she would stay here instead of the Griffin Inn…”

The Griffin Inn is probably the best in this city.

“Where is the hero?”

Rishari cuts off our conversation and looks around as if she has no interest in that.

At that time, a middle-aged woman, presumed to be the inn owner, runs towards us in a huff.

“So, are you a Sorceress!?”

“Yes, this is the Sorcerer.”

The guard treated the inn owner who seemed to be twice his age.

‘As expected, he was the son of a nobleman…’

Somehow, from the first time I saw this guard, his demeanor and manner of speaking gave off a hint of cuteness.

“The princess is not here right now and has taken her place.”

“Hmm? Where did you go?”

The guard frowned slightly, as if telling him to speak quickly.

“Well, that’s… You’re subduing monsters…”

“What?!”

When the guard shouted, the innkeeper cowered as if scared.

‘As expected, there is a clear difference between nobles and commoners in this world.’

The kingdom’s guards, who had been so courteous, were so merciless towards commoners.

‘No, not this.’

“By any chance, which direction did you go?”

When I asked politely, the innkeeper straightened up a little and her face brightened.

“You went towards the principality.”

“Why didn’t you stop me!”

The guard scolds again.

The innkeeper shrinks again.

I gently grabbed the angry soldier’s shoulder.

“Now, calm down. Isn’t there something weirder than that?”

“Hey… I’m sorry. But what’s strange?”

The guard let go of his anger and asked me back.

I asked her again.

“There are only two gates in Viln, the south gate and the north gate, right?”

“Ah…!”

The guard seemed to realize something only then.

That’s right.

This guard is a soldier guarding the north gate on the principality side.

“When did the princess leave this place?”

I asked the innkeeper.

“About two, two hours ago.”

“Uh, how…”

He muttered as if there was no guard.

2 Hours ago, she was still guarding the north gate.

“Two guesses are possible.”

When I calmly opened my mouth, everyone looked at me.

“Either they are still in this city, or they have crossed the walls.”

Considering Betty’s incredible physical abilities, it was highly likely that it was the latter.
