Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy chapter 269

269 – Scheme Selection Groom of the Year – 4

Mother, how are you? This fiery filial son committed an unprecedented unfilial act of no show to meet his mother. You must have been happy to hear that the heir who danced tap dance at the end of the marriageable age is finally getting married, but I apologize for giving you such a novel twist.

But no matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem to be my fault.

“Today, the chef put a lot of effort into it. I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”

“It’s nothing but congratulations, Your Majesty.”

How can you refuse when a distant superior invites you to eat?

Of course, there is no excuse for the emperor’s invitation. At least, if I had made a prior agreement with the pope, there would be no such promise. Thanks to that, I had no choice but to run like a dog and hit the head.

“Be at peace. This position is to appreciate the hard work of the Inspector General.”

Anyway, when the emperor’s invitation suddenly made him stiff, the emperor waved his hand and said. Be comfortable can you be comfortable

Of course, when the Emperor tells you to be at ease, he must laugh even in the fire. Actually, this place is like my home, and the food is like home-cooked food… It’s so comfortable that I feel like I’m going to paradise…

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will.”

At my tearful reply, the Emperor nodded and took a bite of bread. Seeing that, not only I, but also the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, who were sitting together, started eating.

I feel like I’m going to lose weight. But, fortunately, it is really a place for congratulations. If it was a place for questioning or giving instructions, he might have died sitting down rather than pretending.

‘I’ll just give you money.’

As I quietly chewed my salad, I thought about not letting it out. It’s not a place to have a meal like this, congratulations, but a shiny gold coin is enough. I hope the higher ups know that.

As an aristocrat, having a meal with the emperor is an achievement worthy of paying 30 points for your self-introduction, but isn’t that once enough? It is sad to be dragged to such a place so many times.

“Chief of Inspection Department. Are there any inconveniences in academy life?”

‘Fuck.’

I hurriedly swallowed the salad at the surprise question. To be comfortable Since when was it comfortable to talk about work while eating?

No, from the standpoint of this workaholic emperor, conversations like this don’t even belong to work? Quite plausible.

“Your Majesty’s benevolence reaches the academy, so how can there be any inconvenience?”

“I am well aware of the hard work of the Inspector General. How can it be comfortable with the 3rd Prince and precious guests staying?”

Moment ‘If you find out, send it to another place.’ The word rose to the top of my throat, but I held it in.

“I’m especially worried about the VIPs. They won’t be used to life in the empire, so I’m worried they’ll wander alone.”

“Don’t worry. I will treat you without lack of confidence.”

“To say that is just disrespectful. Treat the honored guests with the 3rd prince.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

After that, the emperor fell silent again. From the outside, it seems like a warm-hearted owner who cares about his customers—

‘It’s still the same.’

Inwardly, there was plenty of doubt, the emperor’s chronic illness.

I’m not used to life, so I’m afraid I’ll wander alone? Doesn’t this mean that the royal family is worried that they might snoop on the secrets of the empire? Even if it’s not, it’s hard to touch because it’s royalty, but it’s very annoying to stay in the empire with a legal position as a student.

So I, who is at the academy, expressed the words to keep an eye on them. It has been so before, and will continue to be so in the future.

‘That’s not normal.’

I felt a little salty. In fact, I was suspicious and all, but from a politician’s point of view, it’s a reasonable guess. Wouldn’t everyone react like this if a foreign royal family suddenly entered the imperial academy?

But I was wrong. They are just fun gamers who are not interested in grandiose things such as confidentiality. If the emperor had a sin, it must be that he saw an abnormal person through the eyes of a normal person, and that he tried to rationally understand the traveling servants that he couldn’t understand.

Of course, I have no intention of telling the truth. To the emperor, ‘They were only interested in dating, but since they’re all different, they just hang out?’ If you say the same thing, the pot will break. Perhaps they suspect that I have bribed them to say something friendly. To be honest, I think that would be the case too.

Okay, let’s just keep our mouths shut. It’s unfortunate that the emperor had unfounded suspicions, but in the meantime, he told Ainter to treat the distinguished guests. Following the New Year’s address, the emperor acknowledged Ainter as an undisputed member of the royal family, so let’s think positively.

“Whoops, the Inspector General is trusted by His Majesty as well.”

Just as she was about to carefully cut the steak, the Crown Princess opened her mouth this time.

But unlike before, my heart didn’t tremble. Isn’t the crown prince famous for thoroughly avoiding political statements and rarely interfering with her affairs? Among the people gathered here, she is the most docile and comfortable person.

“I am happy to think that the family of such an inspector general will prosper.”

“That’s an overestimation.”

Her hands trembled briefly. ‘Since you have many lovers, you seem to have many children.’ Hearing the words in front of her face made her feel dizzy.

A person who is comfortable… Is that right…? No, that’s right obviously right Compared to the emperor and the crown prince, she is an overwhelming fairy.

“Your Highness and I also want to share a love that is not inferior to the head of the inspection department.”

She couldn’t answer the princess who spoke with a smile. If the prince and the couple are on good terms, she’s something to celebrate, but why are you telling me that?

Seeing me like that, the Crown Princess smiled even deeper and raised her left hand.

…

?

‘What the fuck.’

And as soon as I looked at her left hand, specifically the ring finger, I felt her pupils vibrate.

“I heard the rumor and made it right away. A ring that becomes one, isn’t it a really romantic thing?”

It’s a soft voice, but the content is brutal. There are things that shouldn’t exist. The (half) finger of her crown prince’s ring finger was placed proudly.

Of course, since the Crown Princess is friendly with Section 1, and Prince Majong also wore it, it’s not strange that the Crown Princess’ half/ji goes into her ears. Isn’t following that a different matter?

When she glanced at the prince with her trembling eyes, the prince showed her left hand with a calm expression. Of course, there was also half (ji) in the prince’s hand.

‘Damn it.’

I think I’m going crazy. Did I poison the Empire’s society…?

I managed to finish my meal while suppressing the urge to bite my tongue. I didn’t even know what I was eating from the middle.

“Many wives are already interested. Not to mention young ladies.”

“That’s right.”

“The trend will probably start before the end of this year.”

Every time the Crown Princess spoke for a long time, her feelings of guilt grew. Because my light actions have inflicted indelible scars on the social world of the Empire.

Now you and I will both wear half rings. Who can resist the trend led by the crown princess, duke, and princess?

“Count Flanbell said they were already preparing.”

“I see.”

When he expressed his bitter feelings to Iron-Blooded, an even more bitter answer came back.

Already one of my father-in-law moved quickly. He even says he made up his mind after seeing me wearing the ring, really more than my karma.

“Congratulations. It’s rare to find someone at that age who sets the trend in the social scene.”

I couldn’t open my mouth at the iron-blooded worker’s expression. It’s so dizzy that I can’t tell if this is real or if it’s just teasing.

If it was the minister who was not a Sangvis, then of course it was the latter, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

“Go now. Everyone is waiting.”

“Yes, sir.”

I was standing in a daze, but the iron-blooded ball hit me on the back and started walking in the lead.

Originally, the meeting ceremony (5 participating families), which should have been held today, was almost canceled due to the emperor’s call, but fortunately, while I was away, it was said that it was carried out at the initiative of the Sangvis. It was a luncheon anyway, so it wasn’t a schedule to eat the whole day, and it wasn’t bad to meet the parents beforehand.

Thanks to that, as soon as the luncheon was over, I was caught by the Iron Blood Ball who was waiting. I’m mentally tired from the continuous schedule, but I have to endure it because I avoided the unfilial piety of a no-show at a meeting.

“…….”

“Your Excellency, is there anything you want to say…?”

As I was moving to the private room rented by the Sangvis, I felt a stinging gaze and cautiously asked. Has something happened to you that you don’t like?

“I was thinking about why my son is like this when his in-laws and his wife are virtuous people.”

Then he smiled awkwardly at the answer that came back. Because it was a question that I had nothing to refute. If he had a body as a child, he would do something, but the contents inside it were different.

…No, but Erich isn’t particularly docile, is he? When it comes to liveliness and quietness, no matter how you look at it, it’s the former.

‘Where did my personality go?’

Judging from the fact that he inherited the Krasius family’s black hair and his mother’s blue eyes, his blood is thick, but his personality doesn’t resemble him at all. Could it be that there was a delivery error on the way to Gene?

Still, if even Erich had been blunt and quiet, her family would have been so desolate. I’m glad I made a mistake.

“And she didn’t tell me to call her artisan in private.”

As I was relieved alone, the iron-blooded worker said curtly.

Come to think of it, it was. It wasn’t a title he was used to, but he kept telling me to dismiss it.

“Sorry, master craftsman.”

“I just need to know.”

Swordsmith snorted once and then walked without a word.

***

A meeting between families that was in danger of being stranded when Carl was called by His Majesty the Emperor. Fortunately, Sang-blooded workers took the lead, and it was possible to proceed without delay.

When people gathered one by one in the private room prepared by Sangvis Sangvis, he felt a sense of happiness filling his heart. He seemed to be driven to feel happiness that he had never enjoyed before.

‘The Lover of the Knife.’

There was one of the children who greeted me in front of me with a soft smile or nervously. It is a fate to walk together by the side of the child who has always been alone.

‘In-law’.

As I shook hands with Billy, there were people who lowered their heads and smirked at me. It is a fate that will become a new family for the child who did not feel the love of the family properly.

I am happy. I am so happy. The fact that Carl had such a connection, the fact that he could exchange greetings with those precious ties.

But—

‘A lot.’

Too many. I never expected to meet five daughters-in-law and four in-laws in one place.

Even the daughter-in-law says there is one more. It’s just that I couldn’t participate in the New Year’s celebration because I was working for the Special Affairs Ministry.

‘…I just need to be happy.’

This situation felt a bit bizarre, but I quickly brushed it off.

Yes, as long as Carl is happy, that’s fine. If Carl wants, he can greet any number of people with a smile.

‘About six is no problem.’

In addition, the golden ball met twelve people, twice as many. Wouldn’t it be possible to say that six is aegyo?

Of course, the Golden Ball also had a step-by-step meeting, but I didn’t try to remember that it wasn’t that I was connected to several people at the same time.
