Side story Father-in-law’s’. Give me your daughters! (3)
I see an envelope of money in front of me.
Yes, this is the money given by the king of the potato empire Dunaref. It must be a check with a huge amount written on it.
But that’s a minor problem.
I have already made Marie my woman.
I can’t get any amount of this.
“I can’t take it, father!”
“I told you not to call me father!!”
The duke throws a fit when he hears the word “father.” But I couldn’t back down.
“I will never get this money!”
“But because it’s not enough?”
“no!”
“Can’t I get 100 million? Then I’ll give you 200 million!”
“But still not… yes?”
how much?
200 million gold? 20 trillion won?
For a moment, after completing the Korean Won conversion calculation, Duke Mard tapped the table and pointed his finger at me, who was dumbfounded and speechless.
“This bastard is in trouble now, isn’t he? Huh? You’re in trouble now!”
“Oh, no!”
It was because I couldn’t imagine that there would be crazy parents-in-law who would give me 20 trillion won in cash to tell me to break up with my daughter! I never had to worry about anything!
“Of course I knew that a scumbag who wanted to create a harem would do that!”
“Bonamana! You’re clinging to our Mari like a leech, so our weak-hearted Mari can’t get rid of you and is being dragged around!”
“If you’re a hero, that’s it! What if you’re an express engineer? You kidnapped someone else’s daughter without knowing how precious it is! You vicious thief, Jebi!”
Duke Mard looked around for something with a red face and grabbed a steaming cup of espresso.
“Oh my, father-in-law!”
I held his hand. No more morning dramas!
“You shouldn’t spray that! It’s hot!”
“I’m spraying it so it’s hot! Let go! Won’t you let go of this?!”
“I’m immune to that hot stuff anyway! Even if you set my body on fire, not a single hair will burn!”
“What! You’re telling me to make you feel bad!”
“Calm down! Marie and I already have a child!”
“What…!? hahahaha, did you think you would be fooled? Don’t play tricks with Deokgu! Our family is 11th in the line of succession to property.”
“······Am I included in the succession rankings? What about me?”
“Why should I pass on my wealth to you?”
“It’s a biological baby?!”
What the heck, please put me in the property succession list too.
-Let go!
-You won’t let go!?
-Let go, man!
Duke Mard is a high-ranking wizard. And I am the top knight. Of course, when I forced him to sit down, he had no choice but to be pushed away.
“Gyeong, do it gently, gently.”
When the duke’s bodyguards gave him a little warning and he answered that he understood, the duke went on a rampage.
“What are you doing? I’m being attacked! Subdue it quickly!”
“······.”
“······.”
The bodyguards looked perplexed at his order. The guard captain, Knight, spoke honestly.
“Who will stop the Knight of the Sun? He will lose anyway. When I watched the battle video, I saw him flying around…”
“Hey dude!”
“Duke, for the sake of Lady Marie’s future, please calm down and talk slowly.”
“profit···!”
The duke said he would call Paul, the head of the butler, or Lord Berg, the leader of the Wyvern Riders, but he soon relented.
“Whoa…”
Duke Mard looked as if he had aged ten years. Looking at it like this, I feel a bit sorry.
“I… father-in-law.”
“I call you father-in-law… hahahaha.”
He just sighs, as if he doesn’t have the energy to refute it anymore.
“So, marriage.”
“······I have to do it, right?”
“Are you really going to marry all seven of them?”
“yes······.”
Seeing me saying yes because I couldn’t back down, Duke Mard lowered his head and answered.
“Do it, do it.”
“yes?”
suddenly? This easy?
“Suddenly like this?”
“······It was that kind of agreement.”
“Agreement?”
The story began with the ‘battle for son-in-law’ that shook the continent last winter.
-We are going to marry Marie.
-No, no. I will give you two daughters and make you a sire.
-Don’t mess with my son-in-law, who I overbid.
Dunareff, El Ras, and Aden clashed in a battle for Daril’s son-in-law, a rare battle in history.
While tens of trillions of won were moved, troops were deployed forward, and tax investigations were being carried out on long-time royal allied families, they dramatically halted the war.
But this war is not over. It was only temporarily sutured. If the continent becomes stable, it will be as obvious as seeing fire that war will break out again.
“We had an agreement… if, if… the problem recurs even after everything is over… let’s leave it to the children.”
“oh······.”
“oh?”
“Oh, no.”
Try your best to avoid eye contact.
“I can’t ruin the kingdom by saying I will take over my son-in-law… so I’ll do it!”
Is there such an agreement behind the scenes?
Actually, my price must be very high. They may have decided that it would be better to share it rather than have it monopolized by one person.
I jumped up from my seat and bowed to Duke Mard.
“Father-in-law! Thank you for giving me your daughter!”
“Father-in-law… I’m an adult…”
I hold on to his hand, which is still trembling and shaking. I told the truth.
“Marie… I will make you happy. Please believe me.”
“Ugh…”
Although it seemed untrustworthy, my father-in-law eventually acknowledged me.
“Please take good care of our Marie…!”
The Duke family, who thought it would be the biggest challenge, was able to get approval easier than expected.
············
·········
······
“Corrin! What happened?”
“Father gave permission!”
“Wow! Really?!”
He lifted Marie up and hugged her. I felt Duke Mard looking at me with a confused expression, but it was already too late.
Marie’s large fleshy body was seen as she was lifted up. There’s nothing to worry about anymore!
“This is mine…”
“Ugh? What?”
“hehehe… It’s nothing. Wife!”
“Yes! Honey!”
-······I will give all my property to the person who kills that bastard…
-No, Duke…
-Come to your senses…
* * * *
The Kingdom of El Ras is a country that is no different from an empire that occupies most of the continent.
As it has a huge territory, border defense is more important than anything else.
For a long time, it was the northern and eastern regions that were the kingdom’s patients.
In particular, the eastern part is a major trade route with the Eastern Kingdoms and is home to a demonic region teeming with monsters.
Unlike the prosperous south with its vast fertile land and sea, the barren east was bound to be dominated by fighting aristocrats who valued military power.
The eastern part is filled with numerous fighting nobles. There, one man stood out.
Sword Emperor Garand Aden.
A man who was the pinnacle of an era.
With his appearance, the East began to calm down.
When I was young, I had overwhelming power,
In middle age, he practiced great martial arts──
Aden’s status as a swordsman was raised to an unrivaled position.
Surprisingly, it was the current head of the family, Gerard Arden, and his wife, Sophia Arden, who raised the Arden family, which grew under the auspices of the Sword Emperor, into the prestigious family with nationwide influence.
Gerard Arden, who had versatile abilities as a prosecutor, had considerable business acumen, and he established Arden’s stamps all over the continent.
The position of the Dongbu main family was strengthened based on the right to open a license and establish a dojo, which was given only to the direct descendants of the main family.
This was possible not just through Gerard Aden alone. His wife, Sophia Arden, also had a genius comparable to Gerrard’s: the theory of martial arts.
The Heavenly Sword theory of the supreme Aden style established by Sword Emperor Garand Aden.
When a human reaches the pinnacle of martial arts, he is capable of cutting the sky. Classifies the Aden style of single-sword techniques, double-sword techniques, large-sword techniques, short-sword techniques, and round-sword techniques.
By organizing it into a theory, he established a theory of swordsmanship for general practitioners.
It is a law that cannot even follow the first verse of the field given to criminals who have a world-class martial arts skill.

In that sense, the Aden-style introduction to modern studies established by Sophia Aden contributed greatly to the nationwide expansion of the Aden Dojo.
So, three generations from Geomje.
Two genius swordsmen were born into the Arden family.
Runia Aden, a swordswoman who was the youngest to become a semi-special knight and was called a strong candidate for the next head of the party.
Although he was an outcast in his family, his talent blossomed at the academy. Arisha Arden, who achieved the area-slashing that can be said to be the final act of the Arden style.
With a behind-the-scenes fight going on within the family over who would be the next head of the family, their return to their hometown was bound to become a big issue.
Especially if it is the return of Corin Locke, the greatest war hero of the Solar War.
“Meet Sir Corin Locke!”
“”Meet Sir Corin Locke!!””
Thousands of strong men bow in unison. Looking at things like this, they are clearly a gangster group.
“You’re welcome.”
Lunia is giggling. She was welcomed by them in the same way just moments ago.
“······Runia-san didn’t order you to do that, right?”
“There are probably a lot of people who figured it out and came out on their own, but don’t you know the climate here?”
“It’s about being strong and confident.”
“And it won’t just be because of you.”
Runia’s gaze is directed to the other side of the mansion. A tingling sensation felt there. It’s impossible not to know.
“Wow… I guess there’s a grandfather too.”
Alisha cringes. She clung to me as if she were dealing with something unpleasant.
“Weren’t you close with Grandpa Geomje?”
Runia and Garand must have been the only people who took care of the family in Gyeongwon-si.
“Hmm… I’m the one who wins now for the others, right? But grandpa, I’m still not confident that I’ll win.”
“······.”
This guy pretends not to be like that, but reveals without hesitation the Eastern culture of strong self-respect.
“I guess Arisha is ultimately Aden’s child.”
“Anyway… let’s go.”
As the thousands of swordsmen separated, we headed toward the center of the Aden residence.
“Ho~ are you here?”
And from there, we arrived at the place where the former head of the family, Garand Aden, the current head of the family, Gerard Aden, and Sophia Aden were.
“Take a seat.”
The person leading the situation was not the current head of the family, but the former head of the family, who was no different from a wild man.
The name of the Geomje still stands high on the continent. Those who admire his martial arts, which is called the best sword in the continent, are world-class.
A special article representing an era. At best, it’s probably a hill that even the head of the family can’t rub against.
“Then… excuse me.”
As I sat down at the guest table, Alisha and Runia sat on either side of me. There is a glance at it.
“Hmm~ Yes, I heard the story. You want to know both Runia and Alisha?”
“······father.”
It was not the current head of the family but the head’s wife, Sophia, who objected to such blunt words.
“I came here to make a marriage contract. Please refrain from expressing yourself.”
“You’re still so picky.”
“······sorry.”
“Come on, wife, don’t be like that too.”
Gerard Arden does not have a strong attitude, but gently dissuades Sophia. Come to think of it, Sophia Arden is much stronger as a prosecutor.
Before, I criticized him for being an adulterous man who created an illegitimate child, but I kept my mouth shut because I was in no position to say anything.
“More than anything, doesn’t Sir Corin, the Knight of the Sun, want to take our children as his brides? It is the honor of the family, the red robe of the East.”
Sophia didn’t look convinced, but she didn’t seem to be opposed to having both Runia and Alicia as wives.
They say they keep aloof from Alisha, but this is probably an attitude that Sophia, who was betrayed by her husband, has no choice about.
As the story progressed, Geomje asked me a question.
“Anyway, kid. Did you succeed in capturing the image?”
“yes.”
“I’m curious. What did you put into your martial arts?”
As a martial artist, martial arts is considered the ultimate. Garand tested me and gave me a hint during the previous Guardian Association President challenge ceremony.
Perhaps, if it weren’t for Master and him, I might not have reached this level of martial arts.
It would be okay to tell him about my thoughts.
“Piercing… and indefinitely.”
“You mastered two types of imagery?”
When I nodded, cluck cluck! The Sword Emperor bursts into laughter.
“As expected, it’s me. I need to leave more seeds. Gerard!”
“Oh, father?”
Gerard responds in confusion to the name of the Sword Emperor.
“Choose the fair ones from the girls in the branch. You can give a few to your little one.”
“father!”
Despite Sophia’s opposition, Garand did not hold back. Gerrard just does what Garand tells him to do and grovels.
I was the one who interrupted the story they were letting go.
“I refuse.”
“Hmm? Are you trying to maintain chastity? It’s trivial. If you’re a hero, whether you’re a woman in your 20s or 30s, you should be hungry.”
“What kind of crazy talk are you talking about?”
“”······!!!””
Everyone is shocked. It’s worth it.
The opponent is the Continent First Sword. This is the sword emperor Garand Aden.
He’s a guy that even the king can’t treat well, but I gave him a free hand.
“Please don’t let the story progress as you wish. I can’t bear to ignore Runia and Alisha.”
But who am I?
He is the master of the sun, Klau Solas, and the light, Aradwa, and is Corin Locke, the special knight who saved the world.
This means that I am no longer in a position to be defeated by Grandfather Geomje, either by force or by reputation.
“hehehehe… Well, okay. But are there really only two women? From what I understand, there were more around?”
“······.”
It’s just stabbing me where it hurts. Because I had to say it anyway.
“Actually──”
I also mentioned Marie and other wives. I plan to meet my father-in-law and mothers-in-law one by one to get their permission.
“······.”
“······.”
Geomje and Gerard Arden, who heard the story, showed no particular reaction.
Yes, there is already an agreement between the royal family, Dunaref, and Aden.
Rather than fighting a civil war and bringing in a son-in-law, let’s acknowledge it.
“hehehe, Sir Corin is indeed as rumored. He is a worthy gal of the great guild!”
The first to speak was the current head of the family, Gerard Aden.
He approved of my harem plan in an almost flattering manner. Even though I am now a father-in-law…
“Okay, that’s good. Have a lot of children.”
Sword system is also OK. Rather, I thought there was no way this guy would refuse.
Does this mean that Aden has also received approval? Where are we going to visit next?
“Are you crazy?”
It was then. A sharp anticipation arose.
“mother?”
“Ma’am?”
The unexpected backlash came from none other than my mother-in-law, Sophia Arden. Even Runia and Alisha looked confused.
“A man would have seven women? Have you ever seen an affair like this!”
Sophia wakes up quickly. With her burning gaze, she burned her will to never allow this to happen.
“I cannot allow this marriage!”
A very natural and normal reaction came from my mother-in-law.
* * * *
Aden’s guest room.
Me, Runia, and Alisha were relaxing in one room from the fatigue of our trip.
“Would it be okay?”
It was Alicia who spoke first.
“That’s right.”
“Mr. Corin, you are the party involved, aren’t you? Aren’t you being too calm?”
“······It’s not wrong.”
Which parent in the world wouldn’t be offended by the idea of incorporating their daughters into a harem?
“The only one who is normal is Sophia. To be honest, neither that gentleman nor Mr. Gerard are normal.”
“Well, I feel like it’s good if the old man is from a strong man. Father is just calculating.”
Runia judges her grandfather and father mercilessly. Alisha tilted her head.
“Calculative?”
“Knight of the Sun Corin Locke is an icon of the Sun War. Moreover, he will continue to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps as a special knight. He must have also thought about his connections with the royal family and the Duke of Dunareff.”
“Ahh······.”
Runia smiled and stroked my face.
“Well, my husband is not only handsome, but he also has great skills and connections.”
“Keuhum…!”
If you look closely, Runia also tends to subtly ask if I am coming or not.
“Well, there’s no need to worry. It’s true that your mother has a position that can’t be ignored in the family, but if it’s just your father, you can’t ignore the old man’s instructions.”
“······I want to properly persuade you.”
I’m sorry, but I wanted to be recognized. Because I thought that was the minimum courtesy.
“Time will tell.”
I was in the midst of wondering if I should just believe what Runia said.
“Lunia-sama! Alisha-sama!”
At that time, a servant knocks on the door. It was so urgent that I was out of breath.
“What’s going on?”
“Oh, Sophia…!”
Sophia?
And the news the servant delivered was something we could not have imagined.
“Sophia has started a hunger strike against marriage!”
