298 – Luxurious Vacation (2)
The day after meeting His Majesty, I was sentenced to three months of suspension as I had been notified in advance.
I knew this in advance, so I used this opportunity to pretend that it was an unpaid vacation and suggested that my family go somewhere far away to have fun.
Louise said that she would write a letter of protest to the Emperor, asking what I had done wrong, and Laura and Anya also said that this was not right and that they would appeal to the Noble Assembly.
I was thankful, but also a little burdened, that my wives were angry when I, the person involved, was okay.
Anyway, I came this far at the age of only 30, so I convinced everyone that if I wanted to continue my military service for a long time, I had to have days where I got beat up like this.
When I told Friedrich, who had just returned from school, that he should go to the river with his father, he responded with such great cheers that he used this as an excuse to stop his wives from protesting any further.
I would like to take you to manly hobbies such as hunting or city festivals, but…
Hunting requires riding a horse and killing live animals with a bow or knife, but it would be too dangerous and emotionally bad for Friedrich, who is only 6 years old.
The city’s festival was fun because it sold all kinds of food, had eye-catching circus performances, and even had minstrels, but it was judged to be bad for Frederick’s emotional health because there were prostitutes, liquor dealers, and drunkards looking for seasonal business.
After going through those processes, I ended up going with my father-in-law to the Marquis Benner’s family’s villa on the Elbe River.
As I closed my eyes in thought for a moment, Frederick, who had fallen asleep in the carriage, woke up, rubbed his eyes and said,
“Dad, is that thing you see out there your grandfather’s villa?”
When I looked at the place Friedrich pointed to, I saw a beautiful mansion with a blue roof.
My father-in-law said that among the villas upstream of the Elbe River, the only one with a blue roof was the Marquis Benner’s family home.
What you see over there must be the destination of this trip.
“That’s right. “It was hard to come, wasn’t it?”
“No, I’m so happy to be able to come to my grandfather’s villa to play with my dad, who was always busy and couldn’t play with me, and my mom, Anya, Laura, and Charlotte! “Also, the fried egg rice my dad made outside on the way was really delicious!”
There was really nothing to do while riding in the carriage, so I sat down and slept and told Frederick a lot of interesting things that happened on the battlefield.
Stories like the biscuit was so hard that a soldier in the company next to me hit the wall with biscuit instead of a hammer, or that I fell from a horse when I first took horseback riding lessons at the academy.
Friedrich kept cackling and laughing, wondering what was so funny about that.

It’s been over 15 years since I became possessed in this world, and it’s really hard for me to ride the carriage up for several days. Friedrich may be thinking of me and saying it’s not hard, but thanks to my son’s always cheerful and cheerful appearance, I feel less tired. Could come
Laura must have woken up to the sound of Friedrich’s voice, and as soon as she woke up, he spoke slightly as if admonishing her.
“Friedrich, you should use proper respect for your father.”
“Yes, Mom.”
“Add ‘yo’ properly like you would say to your teacher at school.”
Until she gave birth to my child, Laura behaved like a puppy that only obeyed her master. Every time she shows her motherly side in front of Friedrich, I get excited.
I guess it’s because I feel fresh in behavior that I don’t normally see, right?
Not long after, the carriage stopped, and an old butler came out.
“Are you Marquis Venner, Marquis Jaeger, and their families?”
I nodded in the affirmative to the formal question.
“We have prepared everything so you can enjoy fishing as soon as you arrive. And as you said in advance, we have prepared pork and beef, so our maids and butlers can cook it at your desired time.”
Even in normal times, everything in our family is done with someone waiting on us, so there is no need to come to a place like this.
If you come to a place like this, the most fun is to cook and eat by yourself.
“I’ll call you if I need it, so you don’t have to help.”
“Ah! Is that so? Yes, I understand. Then, I will place a servant nearby in case you come looking for it. And the fishing rod and bait are placed on the other side of the river, so you can enjoy it right away.”
Under the guidance of our butler, we arrived at the fishing spot, put bait on a fishing rod equipped with a primitive reel, and threw it.
The wives said they wanted to have a women’s talk for the first time in a while, so they sat down slightly away from Friedrich and I and started fishing.
“Flower dresses and one-piece dresses are popular these days. Do you think the captain will like them? “If you listen to other officers who go to the military church, they say they don’t like it when their wives wear clothes like that…”
“Laura, our rank is brigadier general. “How old are the wives of the officers around us?”
“From what I heard, most young women like it when they wear clothes like that. So, why don’t you try it on too? “If you put Friedrich to bed tonight and ask him to hug you while dressed like that and with his face slightly red…”
“Your Highness Louise, that’s a bit much.”
“Rather than last time when Laura seduced me in those thin, flowy costumes worn by pagan dancers…”
“……Please forget about that.”
Anya and Charlotte are slowly reaching the age where children are required by today’s standards, so the level of conversation between the wives is very high.
At times like this, my ears are so good that I wonder what kind of crime I am listening to these stories next to my children and father-in-law, but I don’t feel too bad.
And that’s because all four of them are so beautiful that they stand out no matter where you go in Reichburg, even if you don’t know if they are the best on the continent of Europa.
What man wouldn’t be moved both physically and mentally by seeing beautiful women, like flowers on a cliff, trying to please me?
“Son-in-law, why are you thinking so much?”
With those words, I came back to my senses.
“No, father-in-law.”
“You treat honesty like a vacation and do strange things that have never been seen since the founding of the Imperial Army, but here, focus on fishing and your son. Look at Friedrich, this grandpa is good too, but doesn’t she want to play with her dad more?”
After hearing that, Friedrich, who had been talking with my father-in-law, was suddenly looking at me while holding his fishing rod.
“Dad, if the float goes down and then goes up, does that mean a fish has bitten it?”
“That’s right. “Until that happens, I’ll just keep waiting and talk to my dad.”
When Friedrich heard those words, he looked at me without looking at the fishing rod and started talking animatedly.
I saw that and decided to watch my fishing rod and Friedrich’s fishing rod together.
If you come here, I think it would be a good idea for that child to catch at least one fish with his own hands.
“……You know, Dad! Last month, I held an archery competition in which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince participated and other children also participated. I won first place. “I fired about 20 shots and hit 12 of them.”
“12 Shots? “That was a pretty good shot.”
Since Friedrich cannot handle the heavy combat longbow used by adults, he must have used a children’s bow during the archery competition.
So, the flying distance will be relatively short, and the tension is weak, so I don’t know if it will be easier to hit.
Still, if a child who is only 6 years old can beat His Majesty the Crown Prince who is now 10 years old, wouldn’t he eventually become a genius at archery?
Bow Master Friedrich von Jaeger, it’s okay just to think about it.
“Then, Frederick later learned how to shoot a bow and became an archer who left his name in the history of the empire…”
Hearing those words, my father-in-law spoke in a solemn and serious voice.
“Bow… Bowing is great, but wouldn’t it be even cooler to become a great swordsman like your dad? If you have any ideas, when this old man returns home, he will buy you a good sword.”
Friedrich answered those words with his eyes sparkling like a 6-year-old boy.
“A knife? “Grandpa is buying me a knife?”
“Well, since my grandson won first place in archery, I can buy him that much. “I will also engrave Friedrich’s name on the sword.”
…… Even though she only has one child, Laura, the engraved sword is quite expensive, and she is trying to stop a 6-year-old child from using it for fear that she might become a special archer.
He is no different from the rich old man we often see.
As I was laughing at the Marquis of Venner, who was trying to recommend the path of the sword to Frederick, I felt a feeling in my hand.
A contradictory sensation that tickles but is slightly heavy.
I don’t know what kind of fish it was, but it was definitely a big fish.
When I lifted the fishing rod with force, a heavy feeling spread through my wrist and up to my shoulder.
“It’s a huge ship!”
When I shouted loudly, everyone’s eyes turned to me.
If I hadn’t caught a fish like this and had landed on the river bottom, I would be so embarrassed that I had nothing to say, but the more I reeled in the reel, the more excited I felt as if I had caught the right fish.
After pulling the rope with more and more force for about 5 minutes, a huge guy that looked to be about 1 meter tall came up.
With this one, we can all feel good about freshly caught salmon.
“Let’s end the fishing and have everyone eat lunch. Let’s go together with my father-in-law. “I will show off my skills and serve you delicious grilled salmon.”
So, I stayed at this villa with my family, including my father-in-law, for about 5 days and enjoyed a leisurely and peaceful vacation before returning home.
