Eroge Reincarnation, Struggle of a Golden Pig Aristocrat Against Fate

Now, when Leolde was making up his mind to go on a diet, the story was going on.

Beluga, Leordo's father, had been summoned by the king to the royal castle. The rumors of Leolde's duel had already spread throughout the kingdom, and even Beluga, who was walking around the castle, had heard about it.

There were various rumors flying around. According to some, he treated his fiancée disrespectfully and had his men attack her.

He used his status as a duke to blackmail a teacher into falsifying his grades.

when he lost a duel, he squealed like a pig.

The rumors that come to Beluga's ears make him want to hold his head in his hands, but with a few exceptions, they are mostly true. However, that doesn't mean that Beluga hasn't done anything about it.He has used   his  agents to confirm the rumors and know them to be true.

Therefore, no matter how many sarcastic remarks Beluga received from the foolish nobles who heard the rumors, Beluga was unfazed.

And so, the time for the audience finally arrived. Beluga understood the reason why he was summoned, and decided what to do about it. This audience could be called a confirmation of his intentions.

The throne room is a place of luxury and splendor. Sitting on that throne is the sixty-fourth king of the Argabane Kingdom, Alberion Argabane. Even at forty years of age, he has a neat face as if  he has never aged.

He has the appearance of someone who has been created by forty-eight illustrators. However, because he is so politically correct, he is paper armored and can be killed with a single blow in battle.

However, there is a knight in his personal guard who is considered to be his sword. his name unknown for now  , but let's just say that he is the strongest of the Argabane Kingdom.

When Beluga arrived in front of the king, he got down on one knee and showed his loyalty.

"Raise your head."

"Ha!"

Beluga, who had been looking down, did as the king said and raised his head. When Beluga looked up, the reason for this audience was stated.

"Beluga Harvest. The reason I have summoned you here is to discuss the matter of your son, Leolde Herbst, who was defeated in a duel under the laws of the kingdom.

The matter has already been settled by the parties involved, Leolde  Herbst and Siegfried Zexia. The victor, Siegfried Zexia, made two demands   to Leold eHerbst.

The first was a  forbidden on contact with Clarice Vanessa, who was engaged to Leold Herbst.

The second is that he be expelled from the school due to the prohibition of contact with the two people mentioned above.

"Is that all?"

"Yes. I'm sure of it."

The Prime Minister, who was in the throne room, explained in a loud voice. Since the information was already known to all but a few, the nobles gathered in the throne room were not too upset.

Beluga, who was aware of everything, did not panic and gave an indifferent reply. The Prime Minister took a step back after hearing Beluga's words.

It is the king's job from here on out. Since this is a kingdom and a monarchy, the king will make all the decisions. Beluga is not responsible for this matter. One would think that since he is the parent, he should be responsible, but in a duel, the responsibility is only between the parties involved.

Because in a duel, if you win, you get everything, and if you lose, you lose everything.

But even so, Beluga is a duke, and Leolde is from the same family, so he cannot overlook the fact that he lost to the legitimate son of a lower-ranked Zexia baron.

The hierarchical relationship in aristocratic society is very strict. It's very important that he be punished, because he can't expose himself to the kind of behavior that could cause a crack in it.

In other words, from now on, Beluga, as a parent and a member of the duke's family, must punish Leoldo. This is the reason why Beluga was called here, and it is also  his duty.

"Harvest. The crime your son has committed is a serious one. How do you intend to hold him accountable?"

The king's heavy words pressed down on Beluga, but Beluga has an answer ready from the start. So, all he has to do is to make a grand declaration in front of an audience of many nobles.

"My unworthy son, Leolde, shall be punished by being disqualified from being the next head of the family and imprisoned in a remote place.'

In effect, this decision meant that he would be expelled from the duchy. Leorde doesn't understand how serious the punishment is, but from the nobleman's point of view, it's a humiliation worse than death.

All honor, glory, fame, and fortune will be gone. In other words, it means social death for the nobility.

"I see. Then what should we do about the next head of the family?"

"Don't worry about that. I've decided on Regulus, my second son."

"Oh. I have heard rumors about him. I've heard rumors that he is an excellent  person , unlike his foolish brother. But is that true?"

"I've only heard that he's a good kid, even without his parents' greed.

"Is that so? But it's a pity. It's a shame, though, that your son, who was touted as a child prodigy of great valor, should end up like this: ......"

". I am ashamed of  it myself. I  had  educated him wrongly."

"What do you think? Your son Regulus is different from Leolde, isn't he?　Then it must have been his fault."

"Then I am even more ashamed. I didn't see the true nature of my son."

"We all make mistakes. Now, let's talk about Leolde's punishment. Finally, Harvest, will there be a second time?"

"Ha!　Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

With this, the audience was over. The nobles who had gathered disbanded and returned to the rooms they had prepared. At the same time, Beluga also returned to his room and sat down on a chair to rest.

While he was resting for a while, a guest came to visit. Beluga, perhaps expecting this, instructed the maid who was waiting for him to open the door.

"It's been a while, Beluga."

The visitor was the king himself.

Since it was a private visit, Beluga sent the maids away to be alone with Alberion before he spoke.

"I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you this time."

"Don't worry about it. It's between you and me. "

"I've been thinking about it. When I heard that  my son  lost the duel, my hair fell out .Oh mt son he might have been dead

"You're lucky about that. If Siegfried had ordered  him to die, then it would have been over for you."

"I can't thank him enough, you know."

"That's all I'm going to say about that. I'll leave you to your complaints."

"I'll stay with you as long as you want.""

The two men, who were good friends in private, lost track of time complaining about work and politics. But their faces were radiant with smiles.

It's always fun to talk with friends you haven't seen in a while, even if it's just complaining.
