Volume 1 Chapter 1 Part1 (2/2)

The reason for my protest was because this is a cruel choice for a partner

This partner seehter of a baron household──but it's written in these background docuh e seven times

She has children too, but all of thehtly violent lares at me

I could tell that she was irritated

“This is sohter of nobles fro history of serving the royal family What are you dissatisfied about?”

What am I dissatisfied about? On the contrary, it'd be stupid to think that there's anything I'm satisfied about No wait, perhaps she hter is fifty years old?!

“Why are you bringing up talks about e when I haven't even entered an academy yet?”

It's an unspoken rule that nobles basically a, but at any rate, it's a rule

That's probably because half of the nobles don't graduate froe for political reasons Or perhaps there's so early Nevertheless, ing up talks about e does not apply as an exception

This partner is called a daughter of a baron household, but she doesn't hold any of the heritage More precisely, she's a nephew of theher only a relative

Furtherhth…it's obvious that this ry, and her tone of voice grew stronger

“I can still allow the second son to enter an acade the third son to one Even if there were no entrance fees, there would still be other things that need izes

“I' to you However, the reality is that our household has little ardless of whether or not you've entered an acadelanced at Zola frooing to coraduate froht choice is to rateful that you can peacefully go through e I also made preparations for you to work as a soldier Do your best”

That's when I noticed it

…This person is planning to have me die in a battle

nobles This is the saht for the sake of the country, their family will be paid compensation

For soldiers, payments happen en masse, but the case is a little different for nobles

They will be given an honor for fighting on behalf of the country, and to iven annually

The only thing I can hear froe talk is the money she wants from my death and her subsequent honor from it All the husbands of this partner so far have been written down on this background docu to hide it, it's as if it ritten down as a boast

“No I refuse”

Zola pounded on the table and stood up in response to my refusal

“Silence! This is my view on lowly third sons like you! If you're a boy, then work for the fadom's capital, the “royal capital” Unlike feudal lord nobles, she comes from royal court nobles that receive work from the royal palace

Since she doesn't want to leave the royal capital, father has to e expenses

We send h our incoh, and yet this is the attitude she begets However, father will gain a bad reputation if he cuts off ties with this woman

If he casts Zola away at this point, her fae

He can't divorce her for that reason

I rack h this dilee of this ga tired of this usual lifestyle at age fifteen, and I haven't tried anything out in particular, but…isn't now the tiame to the best of my ability?!

There's no future for me if I don't do my best!

“…So there's no problehed scornfully towards ood-for-nothing that can't earn money”

If you want find one of the few people to say that to, then take a look in theby Zola, a parasite on the Baltfault household that indulges herself in the royal capital

“It's rude to refuse talks about for that earning enough to cover the entrance fees ork”

Not knohat I was talking about, father made his coo with a strong attitude

“You're still young, Leon Doing so like that so hastily is──”

“Silence! Men over twenty won't find a partner noyou a partner so quickly, and now you're being picky bycomplaints…this is why I hate brats from the countryside”

Quite absurd of you to bla on the countryside

When I was about to raise a cos of this child He can't help but refuse when his e difference is almost forty years”

I'd be the leftover-husband of a woman that has children older than me

It's natural that I would hate it Even for a world where woe talk, which she had decided as so that treads on peculiar territory

A family where my is wife nearly forty years older than ivesabout it

My father breathed a sigh

“…If he can prepare ht?”

Zola sat down in a violent s as she looked down at us

“Oh? This is the first ti the resources to do so I'd prefer you use it to increase the a tothat all wo at this woe of women, particularly noble women, in this world is the worst

Father held a hand to his head

He then cast his eyes doard and spoke so it out of hie so the unreasonable for uilt

This really is a cruel world
