Chapter 115 – Part 2 Nobles – A Letter From the Highest

Escort Elizabeth out of the party.
Listening to the applause around her, she feels like she’s having her own wedding.

Hmm.
Not bad.

Elizabeth is first of all pretty, seems smart, and seems to have a good pedigree, and she is prettier than anything else.
She can be said to be quite competitive as a candidate for my bride.

“But what about the breakup story?”

Yes. In order to take Elizabeth as my bride, she must first break off the marriage with the crown prince.
But Elizabeth shook her head slightly.

“Perhaps all this will never happen.”
“Sheesh. Was it really a play?”
“No. But perhaps His Majesty the King will do something that never happened.”

I declared it in front of that many people, but can I do something that I didn’t have? Although she shielded Elizabeth for being a play, no one would believe such an obvious lie. Except for me.

“Hmm. Anyway, Elizabeth says she’s still the fiancé of the crown prince.”
“I can’t accept the Count’s marriage proposal. I’m sorry.”

Elizabeth laughed lightly. For some reason, she felt forlorn in that smile.

“…Elizabeth. Would you like to run away with me to a foreign country?”

It was an impulsive story.

“It will be difficult at first, but the Empire says that Hunters are treated well, right?

Of course, when I go, I have to take all the other girls with me.
Elizabeth would be mad if she found out that I had a lot of girls hanging around, right? Would it be better for her to tell you in advance?

But Elizabeth shook her head.

“Sorry, I can’t leave this country.”

It was a disappointing answer. People were talking about it with a big heart.

“Why? Because he’s the fiancé of the crown prince?”
“No. Because I have a dream.”

Dream. Is it a dream
I can’t forgive it if it’s because of the man, but if it’s something like that, I can’t help it.
Elizabeth seems to be much smarter than I am, so it’s not strange that she has ambitions or aspirations.

I couldn’t ask Elizabeth what her dream was.
Even if it’s just her hand… I tried to hold it, but neither I nor Elizabeth are wearing her gloves. If you hold her hand like this, you won’t even be able to feel her body temperature.

I took off her glove from her hand.

“Elizabeth. Hand.”

Elizabeth was briefly puzzled by my words, but seemed to understand the meaning when she saw my bare hands with her gloves off.
Then, a little embarrassed, she carefully took off her white gloves.

… Just taking off her gloves, why did her spine tingle? It wouldn’t have been accumulated.

Takes Elizabeth’s hand off her glove.
Elizabeth’s hands were white, thin, and soft. It was the hand of an aristocratic lady who was said to have never lifted anything heavier than a spoon.

We walked together to the outside of the palace holding hands. Maybe someone will see it somewhere, but what can I do? If you’re naive because of this, I’ll accept it.

When I came out of the gate, a dazzling carriage was waiting for me. Perhaps this is Elizabeth’s carriage.

“Count. Thank you for today. I will greet you in the near future.”
“…Yes. Goodbye.”

I felt sorry for the warmth dripping from my hands.
Elizabeth lightly bowed to me on her knees, took her handmaid’s hand, and climbed into her carriage.
And I stood there to see Elizabeth off until the departing carriage was gone.

… Before she left, for some reason the maid looked at me like the enemy of her parents … Does she think that her master has made her a bad friend?
I’m not that bad He’s just a little naughty.

*

And the next day.
Maria came to me while I was lounging around at home.

“Master. A letter has arrived.”
“Letter?”

I pretended to receive a letter from Maria and hugged her by the waist.
And Maria calmly brushed away my hand that was trying to gently massage her breasts.

“Sheesh. You cried so cute yesterday.”

After going to the party yesterday, I had a good time with Maria and Melissa, as promised in the morning.
Two widows. It was a very meaningful night spent with two experienced grown women.

These two wouldn’t have been like that at first either. I mean, it’s getting more and more sophisticated.
As I continue to have a relationship, I am accumulating experience points, and it seems that my stamina has improved and my skills have improved. Yesterday was also a very close match.
At this rate, stamina pills might be needed in the near future…At this young age…Kuh.

“…Master. Read the letter first. This is a letter from the Prime Minister of the Kingdom.”

Maria looks down at me suffering alone with pitiful eyes.

“Prime Minister? Isn’t the chancellor a high-ranking person?”
“Probably the highest person next to the royal family. The highest among the nobility.”
“Why is someone like that to me?”
“Let’s take a look at it.”

You’re a chancellor. There must be nothing to do with such a high-ranking person, right?
I opened the letter with doubts.
The content was very simple.

[I have something to say about my granddaughter. As soon as you receive the letter, come to the re-correlative residence.]

“Granddaughter?”
“…Could you, Master, give the chancellor’s granddaughter her hand instead?”

Maria gives an absurd look.

“No no, I told you yesterday. I was just participating in a strange play.”

Wait. Come to think of it, the characters who participated in the play were unusual.

“Ah. Maybe that’s it.”
“What is it?”
“No, she actually proposed to the fiancé of the crown prince yesterday. She said the boy was the daughter of a duke, so she might have the chancellor’s grandfather.”
“…A marriage proposal to the fiancé of the crown prince…?”

It was fun to see Maria’s cold expression collapse.

“That’s right, there’s a deep story behind this…”
“Haa… First of all, let’s get ready to go out. You can’t make the high-ranking person wait.”
“Ah~ It’s annoying~.”

I also had to change into an aristocratic suit by Maria’s hand.

And the recorrelator arrived immediately. With each chancellor, the house is as expected. My house is also a mansion in its own way, but compared to this house, it seems to be less than 1/4.

“Welcome, Count Brillante. I’ll take you this way.”
“Yes.”

There is a guard at the front door, and an elderly butler is waiting behind him.
I stiffened my neck and followed the butler inside.

“Please wait in this room for a while. Your Excellency will be back soon.”

I leaned back on the soft sofa.
After all, rich people are different no matter what. The interior decoration is shiny and the sofa is fluffy.

“It’s Florence.”

Look at this. The maid serving the tea is also pretty.

“I’ll have a drink, sister.”

I played an innocent young man in order to get close to my maid sister.
However, her handmaid’s gaze at me was cold.

“…Yuzu-sama. Don’t you know who I am?”
“Yes?”

At the maid’s words, I looked at her face once again.
But it was a face she didn’t know.

I bet you’re not going to work on me. Does she really know someone?
I tilted my head and took a closer look at her face, but I couldn’t really remember.

The lady-in-waiting laughed softly at me and snapped her fingers.
Then the color of her hair changed from brown to blue, and the shape of her face slowly changed.

“Rachel?!”

Unbelievable. You can’t tell the woman I once hugged!
The lady-in-waiting was Rachel, a former slave from an old pervert.

“Would you like to find out now?”
“What, how did you do it? A transformation item?”
“That doesn’t matter now.”

Rachel was smiling, but she didn’t look very happy.
Your voice is kind of cold.

“What do you think Yuzu-sama will do to our lady, Elizabeth-sama?”
“Ohhh. Rachel must have been Elizabeth’s maid.”

Rachel coldly dismissed my hand trying to grope her ass.

“Now is not the time to do this.”
“Isn’t Rachel originally my slave now? Does she have to get permission from her master to touch his slave?”
“Under…”

Maria, too, but the colder she is, the more I want to touch her.

“Come to think of it, was the lady-in-waiting she glared at yesterday also Rachel?”
“Now you noticed.”
“Ha~ I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you. But the disguise is so perfect.”
“That didn’t make her glaring at me, though.”
“Then?”
“What do you think Yuzu-sama will do to Elizabeth-sama?”

Again the question came back to the beginning.
I asked Rachel as she took the hand and sat next to me.

“How are you doing?”
“Elizabeth is like a flower in a greenhouse. She is like a chick in a cage.”
“Yeah. So?”

I asked while groping Rachel’s body over the maid’s dress.
It was the first time Rachel was wearing her clothes, so on the contrary, it felt fresh.

“…A person who is like an untouched virgin. He is so upright and pure that he is easily swayed by your trivial kindness or obvious flattery. Light-hearted teasing is unforgivable.”
“That’s too much. I’m always serious about love.”

Grab Rachel’s waist.
She tried to kiss her, but Rachel covered her mouth with her hand.

“Yuzu-sama. If you need a woman, I’ll deal with you. So, can you give up on Elizabeth-sama?”
“That’s not okay. I like Rachel, but I also like Elizabeth. Giving up on anyone is impossible for me. I’m a piece of trash.”
“…Then there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Rachel just brushed off his hand and stood up.

“Rachel, do you think it’s for Elizabeth’s sake that I separate from her?”

I said to Rachel who was about to leave the room.

“Do you really think it’s for Elizabeth that the palpoon marries the king and becomes the queen, and she gives birth to the next heir? That would be good for the family. But will Elizabeth be happy? Without knowing what her lifelong love is, Living like a doll?”
“…”
“If she says she doesn’t like Elizabeth, she’ll back off too. But she says if Elizabeth needs me, I’ll do anything to save her.”

Rachel, about to leave her room, stood tall.

I slurped her tea as I waited for Rachel to give her answer.
Hmm. I don’t even know what tea tastes like. It’s coming from the prime minister’s house, so it might be expensive, but I mean.

Rachel finally opened her mouth after such a long time.

“Yuz-sama, you…”

But Rachel’s words were drowned out by the sound of her thumping footsteps.
Soon after, the door suddenly opened, and an old man entered the room.

“I’ve heard the story!”

As soon as the old man entered her room, she cried out.
Aren’t there any deaf people here?

“Your Excellency.”

Rachel bows her head respectfully at the old man. This old man must be the grandfather of Elizabeth, the chancellor to whom she sent the letter.

“Hmm?”

Looking at it, I felt a little familiar.
The overall silhouette or voice, especially that curly white mustache.

“Ah! Pervert old man!”

He wasn’t wearing a mask, just like a perverted old man I saw only a few days ago.

Having Rachel means that the pervert old man is also there. Why didn’t I realize it sooner?
Anyway, I can’t believe that pervert old man was the prime minister of this country.
A palpion on a crown prince, on a pervert chancellor, is this country alright?

“Hey man. Can’t we properly call it re-amortization?”
“Your Excellency, what. Knowing the truth, will you have a heart to respect?”

Our esteemed Prime Minister Pervert sat down in the seat in front of me and gulped down the still steaming tea.

“Whoa. He looks like Goyan. I thought he would do something big someday, but I never thought he would touch my granddaughter.”
“She hasn’t touched me yet.”
“You don’t say a word. Really young people these days.”
“I’m sorry about that.”

The chancellor said that, but his expression wasn’t too bad. Even if it’s a pervert, isn’t it a hobby that gets excited when you hear bad words?

“Huh. Well done. We don’t have time, so let’s talk about the main topic.”

Then the chancellor lowered his head and thumped his head on the table in front of the sofa.

“Please take good care of my granddaughter Elizabeth.”
“Dismissal.”

Rachel panics and raises the chancellor.
To be honest, she came prepared to take a beating, so the chancellor’s attitude was embarrassing.
The chancellor was supported by Rachel and raised her head.

“I can’t go into details, but Elizabeth has been through painful days. She says those days are unbearable for a girl of her age. I know, but I have no choice but to put a burden on her. It’s a mistake.”
“That’s right. In the meantime, Grandpa went around doing perverts outside.”
“Yuzu-sama!”

I’m kidding. Don’t be too angry, Rachel.
And the chancellor himself didn’t seem to mind.

“That’s right. If Elizabeth had a hole to breathe like this old man, she would have been cured. It must not have been.”

The chancellor stroked the empty teacup with a confused expression.

“But she was able to see the lively Elizabeth for the first time in a long time yesterday. She is all thanks to meeting you.”
“There’s nothing I can do for you, even if you talk so grandiosely. Elizabeth didn’t listen to the idea of ​​running away with me, and she didn’t seem to want to change marrying the crown prince.”

I drew a line in advance before the prime minister made a useless request.
No way, killing the king and crown prince and asking me to become king, or something like that would be a big deal.
Fortunately, the chancellor did not seem to have such a revolutionary will.

“It doesn’t matter. Just be her companion. Elizabeth needs a place to let her wings hang down and rest. Her strings, pulled too tight, will break someday. Be the child’s shelter.”
“…Okay. Even if you don’t ask for that much, of course I’ll do it. Elizabeth is the woman I picked up on.”
“Yes…”

The chancellor stared at me for a while with a bitter expression.
It was a face that, how to say, was slowly drying up from the fatigue of the years.

I had a hobby like pervert, but this inspiration must have been just as stressful. It’s hard to take care of a family, but running a country isn’t an ordinary job.
Besides, as the saying goes, you can tell a woman’s parents by looking at her children, and seeing the crown prince look like that, neither the king nor the queen would be a normal human being. No matter how great the position of Prime Minister is, I don’t really want to do it.

“Then I have work, so I’ll go now. You should go too.”

As if the chancellor had finished her words, she left like the wind.
Huh. Did she just tell me to come and go to say that? Annoying people

After the chancellor left, Rachel also left her room.

“Yuzu-sama. Please take good care of Elizabeth-sama.”

As she bowed her head one last time, she did not forget to worry about Elizabeth.

“Do not worry about it.”

Left alone in the room, I sipped the bitter tea.
