Chapter 214: Before the Night Party

After the exchange meeting with the Aterahan, Zeldmitra, and Millendorva families, I decided to rest for a while in a private room.

Whew…….”

The sighs that spilled out seemed to be filled with some fatigue.

The continuous interaction with the kingdom's five great nobles was an event that cut down on the mental capacity of the people. The fact that I have been racking my brains over conversations and being under extreme tension for so long makes me feel as if my brain has been worn out.

'You must be tired, can I get you something to drink before you change?

…… Yes, something hot, please.”

As I watch one of the civil servants walk out of the room, I slowly reflect on the afternoon's social gathering in my mind.

I got a comment from my father at one point, but I was able to handle the situation without any problems.After the meeting with the Aterahan family, I can say that the day went off without a hitch, without any topics or incidents.

Looking back, the most difficult part of the meeting was the greeting with Claune. Other than that, the rest of the meeting consisted of moderate greetings, small talk, and casual conversation. But that's the way social gatherings are supposed to be. Lady was a bit strange.

Whew…….”

I saw again.

The exchange meeting between the Zeldmitra and Millendorva families was uneventful but not healing. I feel 30% more tired because of it.

The Aterahan family had a lovely princess, Kalmia, who was a great source of comfort, but the next two families after that were both male in their generation. My heart was devastated.

If you are feeling too tired, you may consider missing the evening party.

Wait a minute. What do you think I've been working so hard for all day?

I assured the escort who advised me.

The evening party is an easygoing party, and it would be a loss to miss it.

And if I were to miss it on my own, it would be a problem for Plume as well. In addition, I would have to skip Prince Dunkel's invitation, so my attendance was a given.

While I was drinking the tea given to me by the civil servant, the servants in charge of dressing finished their preparations. I stand up on the spot, my arms outstretched, and my clothes are removed.

This private room, about the size of a studio, is, simply put, a changing room. Since the evening party involves dancing as well as eating, it was necessary to change into appropriate attire.

That is why the nobles who have finished the social gathering are now changing in order.

Perhaps in the next room, some princess might be half-naked. The thought of this filled me with energy in my lower half. I know that I am thinking about nothing but nonsense, but while I am being used as a dress-up doll , I have no time to do anything but have erotic fantasies.

The maid in charge of dressing them puts her hand on their faces as if to say, “I'm in trouble,” As their crotches harden senselessly. As expected, I couldn't serve them here and now, so I pictured Viscount Galiana's face in my mind and deflated it.

How do you like it?”

After they are all dressed, a large mirror rock is placed in front of me.

I twirl around a few times and pose a few times, but there seems to be no problem.

What about the pulls?

I'm afraid it's going to take me a little while to get dressed.

The Silopea family had already left the party before us and started to change.

How would you like to go?

I'd better check out the venue first, or there's no point in staying in such a small place.

There are many private rooms for changing, but not enough for all the nobles to enter at the same time.I was not inclined to occupy a private room to the detriment of others.I did not want to bother other people to occupy a private room , though I would not say it out loud because the idea was not aristocratic.

Besides, I thought I'd better take a look at the princesses from different parts of the country before I met up with Plume.

A short walk out of the changing room, and there I found my father and Count Silopea.

I heard that at evening parties, children of nobles are not allowed to accompany their guardians unless they are in the single digits in age. It is said that even in a place where some rudeness is allowed, if you are attached to your papa and mama , you will be thought of as an unreliable person who lacks independence.

This is a reputation that the next generation of the Kuordenze family must absolutely avoid.

I hope you will take good care of Wilk-dono, Plume,” Count Silopea said.

Count Silopea's costume was dinner style. Apparently, he did not intend to dance.

I nodded at the Count's words and expressed my enthusiasm for escorting. The Count smiled, stepped back, and my father stood in front of me.

'Wilk, no one will mind a little rudeness at the soiree, and no one will catch you at the end of your words.

Since we had time to talk a little after the exchange meeting, there was nothing new to discuss here.

The same goes for the children's gathering. Just be at ease and be open.

Yes, Father.

I have already heard this story.

According to my father, gibberish would not be a problem at the discourse hosted by Prince Dunkel, to which I had been invited this evening. In fact, he said, it would be more detrimental to keep quiet for fear of making a gaffe, or to show up in an awkward manner to cover up a mistake.This is because it gives the impression that the child is incapable of doing anything without the parent.If that is the case, they say, it is better to show a little more attitude , even if it is the wrong thing to say.

After a few words of review, my father glanced at Count Silopea to make sure they were far enough apart, and then he whispered, “What is atelahan, to dance?

'Are you going to dance with Aterahan?'

'I intend to.'

'…… You remember what we talked about this morning, don't you?

This story again?

This morning I received some requests from my father for the evening. Not instructions, but requests. Most of them were acceptable, but there were some that I just couldn't overlook.

I didn't say yes to any of them.

Yeah, well,……”

I flashed a fake smile at my father.

The request was to invite Princess Alina to dance a song when the evening party came.

I refused the request on the spot, as it seemed to me to be a request to build a route for a mutual marriage. I was prepared for an argument in the morning.

Surprisingly, however, my father did not press me hard about it and withdrew the request on the spot.

Individual autonomy is considered important at an evening party. Perhaps my father thought it would be unwise to give his son too many instructions. Besides, yesterday and today, I had been making my displeasure with the intermarriage known for a long time.

He may have decided that he should avoid any awkwardness between father and son before the start of today's social gathering, or he may have wanted to give priority to a more important request.

I think the fact that he is now rehashing the morning's conversation here is an echo of the fact that he asked Kalmia to dance at the social event.

I kept my smile fixed and decided to answer my father's unwanted question.

I'll take care of it.

I decide to consider my father's request positively, that I would dance if I could.

I'm a big believer in respecting personal autonomy, I'll do as I please.

Wilk.

'I want my souvenir story to New Nellie to be a pleasant one. Wouldn't you agree, father?'

'…… For this negotiation?

'No, I only invited you because I wanted to.

What might be available, that is the dance with Kalmia.

The most important concern of my father right now is that I, angry about the inter-marriage, will blatantly avoid Alaina as a rebuke.

He danced with Kalmia, with whom he had an exchange this afternoon, but not with Alina, with whom he met yesterday. This could be perceived by others as a person, Quardenze Wilk, harboring strong feelings of separation toward the Levios family or Levios Alina .

This is a very unfavorable development for the father, who wants to maintain good relations with the Kingdom of Levios for the sake of Spierzeig.

It was a good story to threaten him.

“Instead of pushing through with the child's selfishness, you can either take the situation against him and confront him……”

It wasn't as if he was angry.

I'm not angry at all,” He said. Now, Father, what do you want me to do?”

So I responded with a slightly playful gesture.

Just because I had something to threaten him with, whether I could confront him with it was another matter.

My father is a die-hard Spierzeig man, and if he were to say or do anything that even slightly negated that, even if it was his son, there was no chance that he would say, “You're a dead man if you say that.

I threatened my father with strong courage and determination.

My father's tone of voice was a tone of dismay. I don't want to aggravate the relationship between father and son.

I am getting more dependable. ……Now, what do we do?”

My father's words were a little bouncy.

Yesterday, all I did was say, “I don't want to be Alina, I don't want to be Alina. I think my father might have seen it as just a little bit of strong selfishness on the part of his his son.

Perhaps I should have been more like an aristocrat and show more scheming aggression toward my father. Perhaps it was because of my memories from my previous life, but there was no small part of me that saw my father as a superior. To disobey his orders head-on, or even to rebel against him by playing tricks on him.

To what extent can I, as a son, speak out forcefully against my father, the head of an aristocratic family? It is difficult to judge. As a former Japanese, I would like to know the degree to which the children of aristocrats around me are in conflict with their parents. I hear that there are some children who are rebellious, but I would like to know specific examples of how much rebellion is acceptable.

For a few moments, my father put his hand on his chin, worried, and looked at me.

I had intended to approach King Levios and Count Evenapis for talks after this ……, But it seems there is no time tonight, so let's postpone it until tomorrow or later.

For now, there is not enough time to negotiate with me to work out the details, so for now, we will not proceed with the mutual marriage at today's soiree, and we will discuss it again when we return to the Quardenze residence. .. …. I interpret this as meaning that.

I don't know how serious he was, but if he had really taken Count Evenapis to talk to King Levios this evening, it would have been dangerous. Count Evenapis to talk to King Levios tonight, it would have been a dangerous situation.

Anyway, it was enough that I was able to put the situation on hold at this point.

'Father has so many people to greet, it's only natural that he doesn't have enough time. I also have more familiar faces from yesterday and today, so I'm going to be busy with more people to dance with.'

I'll invite not only Kalmia but also Alina to dance, so you'll have to keep your promise.

I'm sure you'll be busy with more people to dance with. You should go and enjoy each and every song.

One dance is enough for me, I ask you.

Haha!

My father and I laughed at each other.

I was not away to dance with Alina.

Even if you eat only delicious sushi such as Ootoro, Arugula, Toro, and sea urchin, you may not be able to fully enjoy the taste of the sushi. I think it is more enjoyable to reset your mood by eating refreshing items or gari ( pickled ginger) in between. In other words, in order to fully enjoy body touching with beautiful princesses, it is better to raise and lower the tension with subtle princesses in between.

That's why I'm going to ask Galina …… Alina to take charge of the lowering part. Originally, there are some unfortunate princesses among the noble families of the Quardenze school. , And I had already agreed to do so based on the sushi theory.

In the relaxed atmosphere, I continued chatting with my father.

He said, “…… I may invite the princess from the other place a little later. I'm going to dance with Pru for a while.”

I'm going to dance with Pru for a while.I'll leave the escorting to you too.I'll leave it to you to escort her……. I'm sure you're looking forward to it.”

I'm genuinely happy to be in close contact with Plume, Dad.

'I'm very much looking forward to it. Maybe I'll get too caught up in dancing with Plume, and before I know it, the evening party will be over.”

That was meant to be a light-hearted remark, but Dad made a slight gesture as if he were thinking before saying, “Well, that's not the end of it.

He then said, “………… Well, that's as good a point as any. My advice, if push comes to shove, you may choose to do that.”

There are a good number of such runaway nobles who cannot dance with nobles with whom they do not have a deep relationship.

But they are aware of this, and they don't participate in the dance in the first place, and they move to socialize over a meal.

My father's words were probably in case I was the unaware, run-away type. Sometimes you don't know until you are actually there.

If I had only danced with Plume, people around me would have thought that I was of that disposition, but they would not have the impression that I had hobbled Alina. From my father's point of view, this is a passing grade.

But I want to touch the princesses.

I'd like to tell you to relax and enjoy yourself, but you must never let your guard down. Always be on your guard somewhere in your mind.

He made a good job shape with his hand and moved his thumb his as if he was going to pierce his heart his.His eyes his were serious.

I still have a lot to do, so I'll be careful.

I hate to put it this way, but the dance hall is a place where the human weapons of the Lord's ancestors dance with each other. If I were to be caught unawares by a magic attack, even I would be killed.

I don't want to be assassinated when I was caught off guard by the joyous atmosphere of the party.

Father, I think you're in danger too, so please be careful.

Oh. I'm not going to stand here and talk about it, so let's meet up again when it's over.

The number of aristocrats who have finished changing their clothes has been increasing in glimpses since a while ago. Time, the actual a lot of the time.

I greeted my father and Count Silopea lightly and left the place.
