Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy chapter 117

Was the vacation this long – 3

Actually, it was 5 years ago that I entered this world, so wouldn’t it be more correct to look at it as 6 years old instead of 21? Then the eldest son is Erich, not me. This marital pressure is a universe in which Erich became right.

Of course it’s bullsh*t. If you bring up such a thing, you’ll be taken to the mental asylum in the corner of the temple.

“You mean engagement?”

“Yeah. Aren’t you over 20 too? If it’s later, people who will invent meaningless words will appear.”

Certainly it is. No news of an engagement even after the age of nobility, for which leaving behind a successor is the basic education and the greatest duty? Anyone can see that if you can’t afford to get married, you won’t know, but it’s not recognized unless it’s a really rare case.

Unfortunately, even me, who works for the inspection department, is not included in those rare cases. As much as that, the marriage of nobles is something close to sacrosanct.

I’m still barely past twenty, so it’s quiet. In a few more years, my sexual orientation will be questioned. It’s terrible.

‘What should I do with this?’

This is a legitimate concern as a mother. Even though I’m not a genuine son, I’m not officially separated from my mother, isn’t it? It’s strange to ignore such concerns so coldly.

Still, it’s funny to say that you’re going to get engaged right here. He refused to talk about marriage with Marghetta because he wasn’t ready yet, but now he accepts the engagement? Doesn’t it sound like you’re kidding something?

The problem is that refusal is more difficult. Twice a Marghetta with no one else? Is that a human baby That is, there is nothing to say even if you die from being hit by an iron-blooded baller on the road, and you have to bite your tongue before you get into that situation in the first place.

And although it’s unlikely, if Marghetta refuses again, her mother may come looking for another young lady. It’s difficult as it is.

‘Ah.’

There is one good excuse. I just remember

“I guess that will happen in a few more years.”

“I’m sure it will. There are people everywhere who want to tarnish the whiteness.”

When she showed moderate sympathy, her mother spoke without hesitation. In the meantime, it is embarrassing to think that the evaluation of her son is too excessive.

“However, forcing my situation on the other person is not the right thing to do.”

At those words, even her mother, who had turned aggressive, hesitated for a moment.

It seems that Marghetta has a crush on her mother. She wondered what had happened to her in that short time, but she hesitated when she told Marghetta as if she had an affair.

Could it be that Marghetta and I didn’t have any relationship because of that circumstance? I’m going to worry about that kind of thing.

Of course there is no such thing. It’s an excuse I just came up with.

“Isn’t it the Marga Academy Student Council?”

I know that my mother is thinking of Margheta as my mate anyway. She goes straight without comparison.

“I heard that you have suffered a lot. But the engagement will be brief during vacation, so it has nothing to do with student council work, right?”

“The problem with the student council is after graduation.”

After that she teased her mouth hard. The academy student council is usually a group of students who wish to enter government office, and if Marguetta wants to enter government office, she will find it rather burdensome to talk about marriage or get engaged to me.

“If becoming a government official is their goal, they say they avoid getting married right after graduation. Marriage doesn’t end quickly, and even after marriage, you need time to adjust to the other family.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes. And after going through that time, when you come back, you’ve already graduated from the student council, which was your junior. Isn’t it troublesome to have more competitors?”

My mother, who has lived a life far from the academy student council as well as administrative officials, quietly looked down at my words. She doesn’t know anything to refute, and even the person she’s talking to is the head of the department among the administrative officials.

I guess it’s because experts say so. No matter how much I am a public servant who is hit and miss within the administration, I am a high-ranking official outside the administration.

“Of course, engagement and marriage are separate things, but even engagement can be a pressure for Mar, who has aspirations of being a bureaucrat. Maybe she will give up her dreams because of me.”

“That’s a bad thing.”

“That’s right. So let her wait a few years for Mar to take her place as her bureaucrat.”

Her mother nodded as if she understood, and the maid of honor let out a small sigh as if she couldn’t help it.

‘This is how it works.’

Actually, I don’t know if I’d rather avoid getting married right after graduation, or after getting her job. I haven’t lived a normal public servant life, so how do I know that? I just made it up because I remembered that one of my junior subordinates took a leave of absence because he was getting married.

It’s a lame excuse that anyone who knows about this floor will see right away, but my mother knows nothing about this floor. And I’m the manager How many people would doubt that the manager said so?

Anyway, I lasted for several years with this. Let’s leave it to Carl at that time how to overcome the pressure that will come years later.

‘It’s not like turning around.’

This method cannot be a fundamental solution. Could you not know that

But in order to fundamentally solve it, we need to bring up Hecate’s issue, but she doesn’t like talking about it because she doesn’t want to get married.

It is said that pain is reduced when shared, but what are the sins of those who will suddenly share enough pain if they shoulder it alone? Why should such pain be inflicted on a mother who genuinely cares about her eldest son’s mate?

And I can’t handle the sympathetic eyes that I will receive after talking about it. The more you get those eyes, the more you’ll never be able to shake them off. That kind of thing is already enough for a minister or a legend.

“Maybe Erich will get married before me.”

“No matter what, the eldest son comes first.”

Seeing her mother shake her head resolutely at the words she said to change her mood, I inadvertently smiled bitterly. Well, I don’t know when that eldest son will get his mind.

It’s really fortunate that the family head doesn’t put pressure on me with marriage talks. Mother can still be persuaded to this extent, but if the family head decides, will persuasion work?

For a moment, with an expressionless face, ‘So what about marriage?’ I imagined the appearance of the family head who repeatedly replied. Um, I can’t see the answer.

Since that day, her mother has not brought up the topic of marriage.

Of course, inviting Marghetta to the tea party and placing her in the front did not stop. She only stopped verbal pressure.

And her mother’s gaze at Marghetta became more vague. Like a child who has been told she will have to wait when there is a coveted fruit before her eyes, within reach of her hand to take it.

“Mother? Do you have anything to say?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Her affection for Marghetta seems to have risen as well, perhaps because her mother’s heart was grieved by her bonus. She started to let go of her tone, which was her respect, in a normal way.

Of course, Marghetta rather liked it. Isn’t she a person who lives a happy life in her words.

“Excuse me for a second.”

I felt a vibration in my arms and got up from my seat. I asked the conductor to find out about Count Horfeld, but is the investigation already over?

Of course, since it is not possible to return to the system immediately, it is only a non-face-to-face instruction. The result will be at a brief level, so you have to go and see the proper result.

Anyway, after asking for an understanding from my mother and Marghetta, I headed to the sponsorship corner.

***

The knife rose from its seat with a faint vibration. Maybe it’s a work related problem. Because Carl, the head of the inspection department, doesn’t have a day to rest comfortably.

It makes me sad every time I see it. I hope that one day Carl will come down from office and live comfortably. He wished that he would have been cozy with me in the Earldom of Tyleglechen.

‘Someday.’

Someday it will. Yep, definitely will.

“It’s not easy being a bureaucrat.”

“Yes. I think so.”

I always nodded at my mother’s words. Perhaps even from her mother’s point of view, it would be a pity to see Carl leaving the territory and living in the island.

My mother looked at Carl’s back for a moment before turning her gaze to me and smiling softly.

“It’s amazing that you still chose that path.”

I blinked a few times at the strange words. He dared not answer his mother’s words, which was rude, but his mother nodded slightly as if he was okay.

“I heard from Carl. He had an intention to enter the government office.”

“Oh, uh… Yes.”

It is true that the student council is usually a gathering of students who dream of entering government positions. And before Carl came to the academy, I had the intention of going to the Inspection Department.

Of course, since Carl came to the academy, it’s a meaningless career path.

“They say that getting married is difficult for a few years once you enter government office, but that’s the path you chose yourself, so you should cheer for it.”

“Yes?”

Yes?

My hair turned white at the incomprehensible words that came out of my mother’s mouth. Is it difficult to get married once you enter the government office? How many years really?

I didn’t know, I didn’t know that. If I had known, I wouldn’t have looked at the official post. If the choice to be with Carl gets in the way, why would I do it?

‘Oh no…!’

My mother said she was cheering me on. In my mother’s mind, I have already become a prospective daughter-in-law who lives as a bureaucrat for several years after graduation.

No, absolutely not! I don’t intend to wait years…! I’m thinking of doing it right after graduation, no, even today if Carl is okay!

“It’s not an easy choice for her as a princess, but even so, Billy will be impressed that she made a choice for the empire.”

However, I couldn’t bear to open my mouth when I saw my mother continue to speak with a warm smile. In this situation, ‘Isn’t it?’ I thought I would see my mother’s cold expression.

You seem content to serve the empire as a bureaucrat, but suddenly the premise collapses? Satisfaction and satisfaction now may turn into a sense of betrayal.

‘No…’

Why did you do that, why did you do that last year?
