Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 472: Battle of AttractionThe day after Takumi went to Margrave Voltons house to plant the cherry blossom trees, Margrave Volton sent an express letter to the Royal Capital.

Because of this, King Valkyra found out how Takumi was doing right now.

Simon, foolish lower rank nobles are causing a fuss.

Haa~ My head hurts, Your Majesty.

Your Excellency Lord Prime Minister, we had witnessed Goddess Norns blessing when we went to the Sanctuary during Iruma-donos wedding ceremony. Therefore, I believed that even highborn nobles would not intervene with Iruma-dono in that manner.nÊw stories at no/vel/b/i/n(.)com

In the Royal Castle of Valkyra Kingdom, King Valkyra, Prime Minister Simon, and Knight Commander Galahad who always accompanies the king as his guard were talking about the letter that arrived from Margrave Volton.

Even so, what a poor move that their aim is read.

There are a limited number of nobles that are close to Iruma-dono, so there are many who would even like to partake in our leftovers somehow.

Sophia-donos family is a Chevalier, but Maria-dono and Marnie-dono are commoners. They are all fools to think they could suddenly wedge themselves in.

Marriage offers from merchants were swarming purely for the profit. However, this was different when it comes to knights and baronets[1]. Its similar in the sense that they would like to make a profit from it, but those fools also believe that their daughters would rise in rank as a wife, that hey would have access to the Sanctuary and the magic devices that Takumi creates, and that by gaining the initiative, their rank would rise and that they would gain even more social status.

Truly the epitome of foolishness.

King Valkyra agreed with Simons harsh remark.

Margrave Volton and Earl Rockford are on good terms with Takumi because they and their families do not make a display of their status and associate with others as normal people.

Regarding the cherry blossom trees, theres no issue with Margrave Voltons plan, right? Three families the Royal Family, Margrave Volton, and Earl Rockford no, theres King Yggurle too. The dukes might cause a ruckus.

Wha!?

No wonder the two yelled in surprise. It was unthinkable for a commoner to marry a princess from the direct lineage of the royal family.

Normally speaking, there is a custom for the nobles in this world. A princess from the royal family would marry into an Earls family. There have been no precedents of them marrying any lower than that. More so if their partner-to-be was a commoner, it was beyond understanding.

Simon, Galahad. You cant think of Iruma-dono as just a commoner from Valkyra Kingdom. If you consider him to be the King of the Sanctuary, it wouldnt be that strange, no?

O-oh, so we can look at it that way!

Fumu, I cant say for certain that he isnt the king of a small country.

But we need to be careful. Talking about this is forbidden. For the time being, Simon, keep the nobles of our nation in check. The part regarding the merchants should be fine.

Then, I shall warn the lower ranking nobles who proposed marriages to Iruma-dono.

Unbeknownst to Takumi, an outrageous conversation was taking place.

The person in question was preparing to travel to the Royal Capital with cherry blossom seedlings without knowing about this.
