The audience ended without incident, and Leolde was trying to kill time , when he was stopped by  his father, Beluga, the head of the dukedom.

"Do you have any plans for the future?

"I don't have any plans, so I think I'll rent an inn somewhere and go to sleep.

"I see. Then let's go home together. Olivia is waiting for you."

"Mother  is waiting ? I understand.  I will be ready in a moment."

"Okey . I'll be waiting.""

Beluga, smiling at Leoldoe as he bowed, turned on his heel to leave Leolde's presence, but left a word before leaving.

"I'll be waiting for you. I'm sure Olivia will take you out to the clothing store if she sees you now, so be prepared."

"What about ......?""

Beluga is saying something meaningful, but Leolde, who has no idea, is just confused.

Wondering what he meant by earlier , Leorde led Gilbert, Barbarotho and Isabel to Beluga.

As they boarded the carriage that had been prepared for them, Leolde  felt a slight sense of suffocation at being alone with his father. If it were his mother, Olivia, he would not feel suffocated, although she was a bit talkative.

However, when it came to Beluga, Leolde couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He  don't think he hates he e, but he  don't think they getting along  m

When he lost the duel with Zeke and was sent to the frontier, Beluga was more than angry with him, he was disgusted. That's why Beluga was a little uncomfortable with him, because he still couldn't get that out of his mind.

If it was work case , he could mend it, but as a family it was still difficult. He wondered vaguely what kind of things Leolde used to talk about.

"......"

"......"

Silence reigned in the small space of the carriage. As the awkward moment continued, Leolde was about to ask for something  but Beluga opened   his mouth first

"Leolde . Your achievement, or rather your historical achievement, will probably be known to many people."

"Yes, it will. So what "

All   I did was copy a magic circle from a book."

"That may be true , but rumors have a way of catching on. You know   better  about that, don't you?"

"Yes, indeed. So you think I'm the one who brought back the transference magic?"

"Yes,  you  did . If that happens, ...... Leolde. There will be those who will plot against you to catch you . 

"No. ...... such thing it's impossible 

"For those who do not know the truth, it does not matter. You may be mistaken  about a transference magician. So, Leolde. You should get more guards."

"Huh? I have Gil with me, so I don't think I need more guards, do I?

"It's true that with Gil, you may not need more guards, but there is always a chance. And there's more to it ."

" What  do you want "

"A number of people have offered me their daughters for you to marry."

"What? You want me to get married ?"

It was an unexpected topic for Leolde, so he couldn't help but show his true  feelings ."

Beluga, on the other hand, had expected it to some extent. The historical accomplished by Leolde would generate a lot of profit and would definitely be appreciated by the royal family.

And Leolde is said to have attacked his former fiancée Clarice in the past, but it ended in an attempt. That's why he broke off the engagement and  her is free no in that way .

Many noblemen came to Beluga, Leolde's father, to sell their daughters to him, for lack of a better word.

"So, Leolde. There was one person I couldn't say no to, ......."

Is it ...... Her Highness the Fourth Princess Sylvia?'

When he saw his father nodding with a puzzled look on his face, Leolde cried out.

"Father! Can't you do something about it!

". I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about this. ......

"Nooooo "

"Well, , . You're dealing with royalty."

"The next head of the family, Regulus, should be the one to ask for it . Isn't that an honor?"

"How can I refuse, ......?"

"......

"Father! Why are you looking away? Father, answer me!"

"I want you to be happy."

"If you really want me to be happy, look me in the eye and tell me! Don't turn your face away from me!"

"How dare you talk  like this to your parent!

"If you were my parent, you'd help me!"

"I'm telling you,  they royalty! I don't care how much you hate it, you have to meet them! What's wrong with that?"

"Her Highness the Fourth Princess is not only beautiful, but also intelligent, hardworking, and compassionate. What do you have to complain about?"

"You're wrong !You can't say that because you don't know His Highness' true nature!"

"Oh, you! How rude to royalty. ......!"

Huh. ...... Enough. I get it. I know you're not too keen on this.

"Oh! You understand, Father!

"Yes, I do. But you're going to meet him.

"Gosh, ......, . I understand, but would you mind keeping your father out of this?"

" But don't make any comments like the one you just made.

"I understand, father."

Satisfied with Beluga's answer, Leoldo gave a big smile. Beluga laughed at  his beloved son's smile, which he hadn't seen in a long time, drained the poison from him.

"Huh. ......"

"what's wrong "

"Nothing , I just thought it's been a while. 

Leolde, who had no idea what was going on, could only tilt his head.

Beluga was lost in thought, he thought about how long it had been since he and Leolde had had a good conversation and laughed together like this.
