Chapter 150

Could it be a land document? Rafel received it without much expectation and tried it out. His blue eyes narrowed as he read the words written on the parchment, and his face suddenly brightened. His, but he was clearly delighted.

Lapel, who had been staring at him intently as if he were going to pierce his parchment, eventually rolled it up nicely. And he reached out to Annette, who was peering closely beside her.

Annette struggled to hold back a laugh and took the bundle of parchment from Lapel's hand her. It was quite heavy with a lot of content. Annette, who enjoys reading, meticulously read what was written in it. Of her, watching her complexion like a puppy waiting for a response from its owner her. Annette, who had finished reading the parchment before long, exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

“Oh my God, Lapel! We've been given a dukedom! You are no longer the Marquis of Kanesis, you are a duke. What a great thing!!”

“What. It's not that great. If you're a sword master, it's natural.”

Contrary to his modesty, Lapel's manly chin was full of strength.He was concerned about public opinion when he married Annette.Because he was a man with a very long back end.

At that time, Lapel was not yet a sword master.His family His his, the Marquess of Kanesis, was also just an emerging aristocrat with a short history.Because of this, many people said in unison.

'I feel sorry for the Bavarian princess! She could have been the Crown Princess if she wanted to.'

Rafel, narrow-minded, kept those words inside. In my heart, I wanted to run through the snow right now, circle their mansion one after another, and proudly display this parchment. ?

I felt like I would feel refreshed if I smelt all the doorknobs of their mansion and blew up the sword in my fingers.Annette, who noticed Lapel's thoughts in his, laughed inwardly.

'Anyway, there's a cute corner.'

Annette, with her meticulous personality, actually found something odd about the parchment.However, it was questionable whether Lafel had read that part as well.

Ludwig leaned against the armrest of his sofa and watched the couple with a smile. In the past, it was a bitter scene as if vomiting stomach juices. Annette, who became the wife of another man, and her half-brother Lani who smiled at her chest his was so charred with jealousy that he could n't even see the bottom.

But strangely, now, seeing that scene, I felt fortunate for the first time. Annette was happy that she was happy. Of course, if it didn't hurt at all, that would be a lie.

“Marquis Rapel Kanesis, get up from your seat.”

Ludwig called out Rapel's name in a clear tone, as if trying to get rid of his lingering feelings his his.Then Rafel nodded his head and stood up.He also seemed to have noticed what Ludwig was going to do from now on .

In response, Ludwig pulled out a decorative sword from his waist. Seeing this, Lafel knelt down on one knee on the soft carpet and obediently lowered his head. Then, Ludwig, who placed the sword briefly on Lapel's shoulders, spoke in a clear tone .

“Sir Kanesis. By reaching the level of a sword master, you raised the honor of Deltium and protected the nation's security. Not only that, but you made a great contribution to resolving the unsavory incident that occurred at the last banquet. It is a great pleasure that talented people like you belong to deltium.”

“Excessive compliment, thank you.”

“Therefore, I, Ludwig de Henriette Valbrai, on behalf of the Royal Family, confer upon you an honorary title. You will be called the Duke of Kanesis for the period specified in this deed.”

“… Yes? Now, did you say an honorary title? For a specified period of time? What else do you mean?”

Rafel raised his head, which had been lowered involuntarily.His sharp eyes his questioning Ludwig shone unusually.It seemed as if he would shake Ludwig right in front of him and ask what he was talking about.Added his words his his behind him.

“No, do you know that the title of duke is awarded so easily? How many years has it been since you were given the title of Marquis in the first place! Anyway, geniuses have no conscience at all!”

This is why the talented guys had no personality.Ludwig clicked his tongue with the intense resentment of his body his.Tsk tsk, the sound echoing through the room was particularly sharp.Hearing this, Rafel's black eyebrows rose even fiercer.

Anyway, with temporal hair.

“Of course you will be called Duke Kanesis. Annette will also become a duchess. But that's only your case. It's a sort of single-winner title that does not apply to his descendants. Of honor given to you.”

Rafel closed his mouth tightly without speaking. At first glance, he had a hard expression, as if he was very angry. But seeing this, Annette realized. He was torn between whether he should be angry now or he should just accept it.

'It would have been better if it was a succession title. But Annette will at least be called the Duchess, right? That's enough.'

She had only one reason why Rappel wanted to become a duke in the first place.

She had nothing to envy, and she was from Bavaria, Deltium's greatest tax collector. Her former princess was married to Raffel and became her Marquis of hers. Well, her marquise wasn't too bad either, but she was also inferior to the duchy Lafel had always had that on her mind her.

“Lapel, this is really great. You are now the Duke of Kanesis! No one can do this. You are also an amazing man.”

At this time, Annette held his hand her her and comforted him kindly.As long as it was written in the deed anyway, even if this side insisted on Amman, nothing would change.All authority to grant titles belonged to the royal family.

Annette had just read her parchment when Lapel showed her a piece of parchment.Of course, it was also confirmed that this duchy was a single victory.But Lafel did n't seem to have read that part.Me the duke 'part at the front.

'Somehow, I really liked it. So I guess I didn't see it.'

Annette held Lapel's hand even tighter as she couldn't bear to laugh or get angry. She smiled as if she was happy for him. Seeing her smiling face her, Lafel laughed a little along in spite of being confused. Smile of the woman she loved, it occurred to her that little things mattered.

“Read the deed carefully, Lord Kanesis. Details are in the third chapter.”

Behind the scenes, Ludwig added remarks. He could have been given the title of successor if the conditions were met, although he was given the title of single winner. Hearing that, Lafel flipped through the third sheet of parchment with hasty hands.

Jjiik-

A slight tearing sound was heard from the parchment, which could not overcome the power of the Sword Master's grip. But Ludwig didn't have the courage to point it out. The position of the royal family, who had a sword master as their subject It's like the feeling of the owner who received a gift from a big beast as a pet. When I'm in a good mood, I might protect the house, but when I'm in a bad mood.. … No, I didn't want to know much after that.

Anyway, Lapel succeeded in finding the part he wanted. He was in a position to live a life closer to the sword than the book. Because of this, Lapel's reading ability was not very good, even with empty words. He rolled the sentence in his mouth a few times that he fully understood its meaning.

“If my son becomes a sword master, you mean that I will change him from single rank to successive ranks. Is that correct?”

“Okay. Statistically speaking, the probability of a son of a sword master becoming a sword master is four times higher than that of an ordinary person.”

Ludwig cheerfully affirmed this. Originally, art and swordsmanship were areas of talent. It was normal to be born riding. Rafel's biological father, King Celgratis, was also very talented in swordsmanship. Too.

However, before being a good swordsman, Celgratis was a born king. His crown His was too heavy to put everything on the tip of the sword. Fortunately, Lapel took over his talent and became a sword master instead. Ludwig, who was born after that, had a terrible body.

'This is why the second one is at a disadvantage.'

Ludwig, who was born later than Rafel, lamented inwardly.Either that or not, Lafel grinned as he looked down at the parchment.His white teeth his, exposed between his red lips his, somehow gleamed viciously.

“Good. Let's raise them to become sword masters.”

Of course, I would have to have a baby before that.
