The day after returning home, around 10 a.m., Gresis-sama and I were called to the office of His Majesty King Leroy.
he had something to talk about during the audience yesterday. I was told that, so I think it’s about that matter.
In addition to us, Timir-oniisama and Frair-oniisama are also present in the office.
“I only have a bad feeling if Timir and Frair were called.”
Gresis-sama frowned.
“You worry too much, Gresis. Father, it’s about that case if there’s a reason to have Lilith present, isn’t it?”
Timir-oniisama seemed to know something.
It seems to have something to do with me.
My father-in-law nodded to Timir-oniisama and looked at me.
“While the two of you were in the Kingdom of Howl, the date of the wedding of the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Seiran was decided. They got in touch with us. Lilith and Gresis have been invited as well as diplomatic personnel, and I’m going to nominate Timir and Frair as the diplomatic personnel.”
Remilio-oniisama is getting married! Congratulations!
“Then, I can go to the Kingdom of Seiran with Gresis-sama and my brothers-in-law.”
Remilio-oniisama, who is three years older than me, has been engaged since he was 11 years old, but his marriage has been postponed.
He said that if Lilith is not happy, he won’t get married until he is 25 years old.
I’m sure he felt indebted to me when I was living in seclusion in the royal palace.
My older brother decided to get married.
In other words, he admitted that I was happy when I went to the Tenar Kingdom.
I’m very happy about that.
“I didn’t tell Lilith, but around July, there was a request to import monster meat from the crown prince of the Kingdom of Seiran. I accepted that request and gave instructions to export monster meat from the frontier in stages.”
I was happy to hear my father-in-law’s story.
“That’s right, after all, my brother ate the meat I sent him.”
When I put my hand on Gresis-sama’s knee sitting next to me, Gresis-sama’s face looked surprised.
“No way, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.”
“That’s right, we were surprised too. No way, I can’t believe that Lilith was sending monster meat to the Kingdom of Seiran. Moreover, I didn’t know that there would be an import request from the crown prince.”
Timir-oniisama was laughing.
“At first, it seems that he tried it at the evening party. Of course, he wouldn’t say it was monster meat. Apparently, it had a good reputation, and now it’s often served at night parties. It is said that they want to use it for the menu of the dinner party after the wedding. After that, it seems that they are planning to announce that it was monster meat. I can see the face of the people who have been eating without knowing until now.”
Frair-oniisama grinned.
“After Lilith married to our country, in the Kingdom of Seiran, they imposed tariffs on trading partners who have legalized slavery, restricted entry to port towns only, and pay a reward when they hand over beastman slaves for a period of time. It seems to have been announced. So, just last week, several beastmen who were captured as slaves were handed over from the Kingdom of Seiran.”
My father-in-law told me.
“Did you finally get serious?”
Gresis-sama said quietly.
“It’s hard to talk to other countries if it’s even in your own country. I think he’s the one who worked hard. Well, if you don’t buy slaves in the first place, it won’t be like this, so you deserve it.”
He didn’t miss Gresis-sama’s muttering, Timir-oniisama’s tone is bright.
However, it was clear that he did not have a good impression of the Kingdom of Seiran.
“The Crown Prince announced the fact that the subjugation of monsters in the Kingdom of Tenar protected the Kingdom of Seiran, and says that he will reform their consciousness of the beastmen before the succession to the throne. The wedding invitation is a special case for the treaty that exchanges only goods, and the aim is to appeal the good relationship between the royal families to the nobles. But it’s optional, so you can refuse.”
My father-in-law waited for the answers of my brothers-in-law.
I want to attend the wedding with everyone. I want you to say that we are going to the Kingdom of Seiran together.
But I want to respect the feelings of Gresis-sama and my brothers-in-law.
As I was nervously waiting for the answer, Gresis-sama held the hand on my lap.
It’s under the desk, so it’s a blind spot, and probably no one is aware of it.
I glanced at Gresis-sama, but his expression did not change, I looked forward and kept looking at my father-in-law.
“If I don’t participate, will Lilith be the only one going to the Kingdom of Seiran?”
My father-in-law nodded at Gresis-sama’s question.
“That’s not going to happen.”
“Then, I’ll participate. I can’t let you go alone, Lilith.”
Gresis-sama’s hand became a little stronger.
I’m so happy that I’ll hold it back too.
“I’ll join too. I want to see where Lilith grew up, and as the next king, I’m also curious about the humanity of the crown prince, Lilith’s older brother.”
Timir-oniisama winked at me.
“I’ll join too. Maybe I’ll be told to leave Lilith and go home. Because I want to return home with everyone.”
Frair-oniisama laughed at me.
My father-in-law nodded loudly and said.
“That’s good, I’ll tell the Kingdom of Seiran about the participation of four people.”
When I left the office and was returning to the residence, Gresis-sama stopped unexpectedly. He has a dark expression.
“Really, didn’t you always want to go back to the Kingdom of Seiran?”
I was told in a squeezing voice.
Maybe he thought so because he was happy to attend Remilio-oniisama’s wedding.
“If you ask me if I want to go home, I want to go home once in a while. Together with Gresis-sama.”
I pinched Gresis-sama’s sleeve and stared at his yellow eyes.
“Me too?”
“Yes, such a wonderful person is my husband, and I’m very happy, so I want to go home to brag to my family that I want them to be relieved.”
When I held Gresis-sama’s hand and laughed, he squinted dazzlingly.
“Well, I’m with you too.”
“Of course. You don’t like it?”
I’m worried that he’s overdoing it even though he really doesn’t want to go.
“There’s no way I don’t like it. If Lilith is with me, let’s go anywhere.”
I was so happy that I couldn’t help but hug his arm.
“In my home country, I will protect Gresis-sama. I will never make you feel bad, so please don’t worry.”
Gresis-sama opened his eyes for a moment and then squinted.
“That’s reliable.”
“It is said that if you attend a wedding, you can share their happiness. So let’s share a lot of happiness from my brother.”
Even if I go to my homeland, I want Gresis-sama to feel happy.
“I’m still happy enough.”
Gresis-sama dropped a kiss on my forehead and smiled.
He looks very happy.
It looks like Remilio has been working hard. I wonder how the people of the Seiran Kingdom will react to knowing they have been eating monster meat. It seems interesting.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
