Chapter 106 (2/2)

Wo The male camp is united as one to re-examine the system

The door of the waiting room is knocked It seems the time has come

「──Now then, let's finish this last job」

This will really be the last

Part 6

The audience hall

I kneeled on the red carpet that is leading to the throne while listening to his majesty's words

Everyone's work this ti fro nobles who participated in the ith grandiose speech

While I' if he can hurry it up with the speech, his majesty said

「Viscount──no, Count Leon Fou Bartfalt You are dismissed frorant you an advancee of count and the court rank of lower third!」

While the surrounding nobles broke intodohile my eyes snapped wide open

──This idiot, what the hell is he saying?

「Yo, your majesty Ple, please permit me to speak!」

I', but when I asked for permission to speak, hisdown at me and said

「I allow it」

「My deepest gratitude! Can I ask your majesty what do you mean by count, and also the court rank of lower third? Such position for a youngster like me is──」

In my shock first I tried to convey how 「Me as count is iive me court rank!」to his majesty

Evenis the same

As like 「Being a count in that age?」「That's extre an upstart」「It's unprecedented to becoeneration」「Lower third──isn't that effectively a top rank?」 and so on

When talking about court rank of lower third──that's already the rank of cabinet minister class

The upper third that is above that rank is a rank for people related with the royal family

I'm not happy at all even if I received such rank!

Even if you tell a student that he is going to be a cabinetto be 「Ha?」 won't he? That's like being the top brass in a co to be able to take responsibility,any work!

When I lifteddown at

「The kingdoe and court rank after you raised an achieveree Haha, there is no need to worry If it's you then one day you will surely show a perfore and rank」

Thank you for your high evaluation ofto vomit now!

This guy know

This guy did so to like it

When I looked around, I can see that the officials are also in panic

Mylene-sama also opened her eyes wide It looks like she hasn't heard anything about this

──This da anyone beforehand

Don't screw around

When I', Roland opened his mouth first

He talked with a theatrical act that stunk

「Come forward if there is anyone who has any complaint」

No one stepped forward

Even if there is anyone who disliked my promotion, they will be troubled if my promotion is cancelled

It's because they understood that if I'm not promoted, in the future──it would become hard to advance in rank no matter what kind of achievement they raised

When their promotion is considered, their achievement would be compared with et the promotion

「Count Bartfalt, I shall anticipate your contribution in the future」

「I, it's a great honor to hear that from your majesty」

How nice it would be if I could yell 「Don't screw around!」 here

There is also my family here

My fa on my attitude

These da troubles on me like this

Looking at that bastard Roland's smirk, I swore in my heart

──I'll pay you back one day

Part 7

I went berserk after I returned to the room

「That son of a bitch! Even though I told hiet promoted, he intentionally made a count!」

I threw the cushi+on that was placed on the sofa

Throwing a fragile object is scary so I can't do it

Father andme

「Say, how should I talk to e with Leon as I thought?」

「Ma, maybe? But, it's unthinkable that child will be bothered about so like that」

「But he's a count now Rank of lower third, that's a God-like existence for us」

「──Then, polite language it is」

I turned toward the two and yelled with er pointed to them

「A count in na like this is just a bullying frousting so rejected!」

Big bro recalled so and said

「You know, there's that If father returned the workshop to Leon, your income will also increase」

「I' to be troubled if this can be solved with just that!」

The income from the workshop is considerable It's considerable but──it's no good

The position of count is very high

It's not so that can be covered with the income of just one workshop

Father hit his palht!」

「Then what if you just go and becoe from the palace then You don't need to worry even if you don't have territory!」

「Impossible Absolutely impossible! With my rank it's like the class of cabinet minister! I can't do the work at the level of a cabinet minister!」

「Seems so I think this country will be over if you beco shot」

I threw a cushi+on at my frank father I ran out of the room

「I'll leave this kind of country!」

Mother called out at my back

「Come back before dinner!」

──Yes

Part 8

A voice called at h the corridor

「Oi!」

It's Ange running towardup her skirt with both hands so she won't stumble

Today she is wearing dress to participate in the ceremony

When she caught up to

She ht of htly red

「What's theof just now? Did you know about it?」

She must mean what happened in the audience hall I shook my head powerlessly

「It was so that hisabout it」

「Well, certainly you couldn't be demoted in that place It's also a fact that it'll be convenient for the kingdom to promote you But, even father didn't know about it」

That guy, did he really decide to do that without consulting anyone?

What a troublesome family

Whether it's his highness Julius or the son of a bitch Roland, all of them are the worst

「What now? What do you think I should do? I'm troubled even if I'm seriously promoted into a count」

「Ri, right Even if you're given peerage but right now you don't even have house or territory There will be problem even if you become a palace noble, I think the best way here will be to obediently marry into a noble family」

Marry into a family?

「If you ht prepare a new house and territory for their daughter If you can marry into such faood deal for you」

So there is also such a way While I' a dress

「Oh, it's not like you need to marry into a noble faht now the nobles in the kingdoo independent」

Due to the incident this tidom crushed many houses

It ithout saying for the houses that were connected with the principality, but those who ignored the kingdom's call for reinforcement are also crushed and their territory confiscated with no question asked Various punish for them

In other words, there is a lack of manpower there is also an excess of territory, so it will be easy to go independent

「Clarice, what's your business?」

「It will be troublesome if you marry into a noble house It also will be bad for your reputation if a count marry into other house」

「Leon's case is an exception」

The two started to quarrel

「Marrying into other house, or going independent──but, in the you will go independent in both options won't you?」

Then Deirdre-senpai who is wearing a showy dress is approaching this way

ph_mobuseka03_ill009

「I've been listening froo, but I wonder just what are the two of you talking about?」

Clarice-senpai glared at Deirdre-senpai, but the person herself isa composed expression

「Can I ask you to not disturb us, Deirdre-senpai」

「Clai a feudal lord noble when it co independent, I think that both of you are too narrow-sighted」

Ange raised an eyebrow and asked

「──What do you mean by that?」

Deirdre-senpai threw out her chest and brazenly talked about my future

「Right now Roseblade House is considering to have a palace noble as branch house It seems that the number of palace noble has also decreased by a lot, so it's so to aim for As for substance──Roseblade House will prepare it so the count can use that status and prestige to your heart's content」

In other words, she is telling me to become the head of Roseblade House's branch family?

Is this alsointo a family?

The three started to glare at each other, so I followedot away from that place sneakily

Then, 「Kyah」 I heard such adorable voice and s naturally headed that way

I walked through the corridor for a bit and turned at the corner There I found Livia wearing a dress

It looked like she stepped on the dress's skirt because she isn't used to wear one and fell

There is aa hand to Livia who fell like that

「Are you alright, young lady?」

「Ye, yes」

「That's good If you like, how about we relax in the room over there?」

Livia's gaze wandered around looking troubled, so I approached the son of a bitch

This playboy bastard who talked to Livia is someone hateful for me

「Your irl in the palace like this?」

「Fool Everyone did so like this──mu, so it's you」

When he noticed that it's rin

「Hey there count How does it feel to get a promotion?」

「It's the worst What happened to the talk about demotion? If I'm proe will be left as it is, wasn't that e talked about!?」

「That? Aa, I thought that But, it was really troublesoet treated like that, nity will come into doubt After careful deliberation, I concluded that as expected you should be promoted」

「──I'll get deht?」

「That's if you do so that become cause for demotion」

This guy, he looks excessively happyaround with me

「This is different from the promise」

「Aa, indeed This also pains my heart But you see, I hate you So I decided that I won't do anything that makes you happy」

This guy, he is telling ht at my face that he hate me

While I'ood estures

「It's unforgivable that you stood out even more than me before the war What's with that『If that is what your ivable It's your fault froh it was finally my time to show off」

「Eh? That's the reason?」

Livia is standing still looking flustered

Her troubled expression is cute

But, the problem is the old man in front of me

「That was the only time I could show off I wanted to fluster you with nity as adult, but you ruined my plan Your conversation with the 」

「Your reason isn't because I beat up your son or wooing your wife?」

The son of a bitch Roland folded his arms and stared at me from my toes until the top of my head

「You're really trash But, I won't be fit for life in the palace if I get angry fro beaten up, and even if you woo h I'll sentence you to death if you lay your hand on my concubine」

──Eh? Isn't this guy just plainly a trash? Isn't he a worse trash than me?

Roland turned back at Livia, straightened his posture, and offered her a hand

「Now, young lady Shall we create a ether?」

Come to think of it, the queen was also the main character's enemy

But, in the ga person for some reason

I never thought that the reason for that was because he is a dirty old irl

An oto that let the player dream!

「Will I get demoted if I beat you up here?」

「Brat It looks like you want to get death sentence Very well, I'll call the palace guards here!」

Even his reliance on the guards is pathetic While I' that,

「──Your majesty」

Mylene-sa her

Roland tried to run ahen he heard her voice, so I grabbed his hand

「Le, let go!」

「Where are you going, your majesty~」

He htly It h

「Yo, you! I'll sentence you to death for real!」

「Mylene-sama! His majesty wants to execute me Help!」

「You'reto execute the one who reh the count is the hero of the kingdoive you today」

「Yo, you're wrong! This ischild is like a royal duty Nothing wrong with irl!」

「Just howalready with that excuse!」

Mylene-saed Roland away to somewhere

My quarrel with Roland closed the curtain with my victory

「Evil is driven away」

Livia smiled wryly

「Sa, say, Leon-san Err──」

「Hood on you」

「Thank you very much Tha, that's not it!」

Livia put her hands on her chest and took a deep breath

「About the matter before」

She grabbed aze

「Why won't you answer us properly?」

What caaze with irl like this as wife──that kind of delusion

Even I want to nod if it's alright but──why are the two of them in love with me?

I should choose between them?

This me?

「I don't ood But, ant a proper answer」

Also──I acted like this world is a game, but is it okay for so with all their effort in this world?

What is hly criticized?

──That's why I'm troubled

Livia tensed her expression seriously, and then she slightly widened her feet before telling me boldly

「If Leon-san won't make your answer clear, then I too have my own plan」

「Wha, what!?」

「I absolutely──absolutely will make Leon-san turn toward me!」

What a

When those five said the sauys are really idiot」, but when looking at Livia, I felt asister!」

I'll fall for her instantly if I'm a woman

「That's why, please be together with ether with me forever」

Livia's attitude changed co to cry I scratched my head and answered her

「Sorry That's impossible」
