291. Bigamy
●
If that’s a good thing.
Even after all the chaos, the situation was somehow resolved.
While Feinol and Daoud were engaged in an awkward war of nerves, everyone present was able to return to the castle safely thanks to the Marginal Spirit’s personnel who soon followed them.
Of course, if there is a person, there is cancer. Good luck was immediately followed by misfortune.
At least it was like that for Beatrix.
“I guess I should apologize first.”
Beatrix looked at Elnor who said that with a pale face.
Her apologized by bowing her head politely to her. It is a polite and polite gesture.
“I had no idea that an accident like this would happen. I’m glad there wasn’t anything wrong, but this was clearly my mistake. “It’s not like I didn’t know that you were weak to the cold.”
Actually, I had no intention of doubting the sincerity of those words.
As soon as she came up to her main body, the first thing she did was check all of her vital signs and check her body most thoroughly to make sure there was nothing wrong with her body.
“…No. Are you okay. “Nothing major happened, so I don’t even think about saying anything.”
“Okay. “That’s a good thing.”
But, even though she heard those words, she couldn’t let go of the tension that kept her going.
“Then.”
This is probably because they both clearly know what the next topic will be.
Beatrix flinched all over her body at the sight of Elnor raising her head as soon as she said she was okay.
“There are quite a few interesting descriptions of ‘how’ you were found with Daoud.”
“…”
“I’ll give you a chance. “Please make an excuse.”
“…”
Beatrix remained silent as hard as she could.
Of course, she could say this and that, but at least the sight of Elnor rolling her eyes right in front of her gave her confidence that keeping her mouth shut was a wise decision.
“Is there nothing to say?”
“…I’m sorry.”
Elnor calmly nodded her head at her apology, which came out without much opposition.
“Then you shouldn’t have done something you’re sorry about in the first place.”
“…”
Why did you ask in the first place? Then.
Such thoughts passed through Beatrix’s mind at the same time, but once again she did not have the courage to say them out loud.
“First of all, just ask one thing straight.”
A black flame soared beneath Elnor’s eyes.
“Did you do it?”
“…What?”
“I’m going to make a child like a firework with Daoud-“
“…I didn’t do it.”
Beatrix barely answered, holding her throbbing head.
No.
Is this the person who just a moment ago apologized in a polite and formal manner?
“Really?”
“Really, I didn’t do it for the honor of the Marquess of Kilgore.”
When we got to this point, Elnor couldn’t help but purse her lips and sigh.
Bringing the Marquess of Kilgore, a prestigious figure in the Empire’s tradition, to come out and swear, in a sense, you are swearing on more than your own life. It’s hard to refute it carelessly.
“…Then let’s change the question a little.”
“Huh?”
“Please answer for the sake of your family’s honor. “Is there any guarantee that something like that won’t happen again next time?”
“…”
Uh.
That’s it.
That’s right.
Elnor’s eyes narrowed rapidly upon seeing Beatrix hesitating, unable to answer.
“…Huh, that guy. What is it. “It seemed like he wasn’t as bad a guy as I thought.”
“…”
“Well, I won’t cross the line. “It might not be a bad idea to just be friends from now on.”
“…”
Beatrix jumped as Elnor’s eyes became narrower as time went by.
“Really! It won’t go as far as you think! “I don’t plan on doing that!”
“…Beatrix.”
In a rare occurrence, instead of Beatrix, Elnor touched her forehead as if she had a headache.
“Aren’t you the one who told this bastard a while ago why women are seduced?”
“…”
“I don’t know what that means…”
“…”
Elnor sighed heavily in front of Beatrix, who had become mute.
“…Well, I guess it’s good. “What happens to the women who meet Dowd is something similar to a natural disaster.”
“…”
No.
It is even more absurd to see them accepting this so naturally.
“No, I feel like the walls of the women near Daoud are slowly becoming strange.”
“…”
“I recently heard through a passing rumor what happened to Miss Yuria and the saint. “I started to enjoy being dragged around on a leash.”
“…”
“I heard that there was a report that His Majesty the Emperor was particularly obsessed with Daoud’s ‘smell’ after that unfortunate incident.”
“…”
“The guy named Feynol who was with you got really excited after being beaten by Daoud.”
“…”
Oh my god.
The more Beatrix listened, the more dizzying the series of information became. As Beatrix held on to her increasingly dizzying thoughts, an incredibly frightening guess suddenly passed through her head.
“Hey, Elnor.”
“Hmm?”
“I don’t think so.”
Beatrix opened her mouth, wiping away her dried saliva.
“…Did you see that strange castle wall or something?”
“…”
Elnor locked eyes with her for a moment and then.
Be silent.
Naturally, she turned her head. It looks like she didn’t hear anything.
“…Then get some rest. “I have to go to the dinner to which Margrave Kendrid has invited me.”
“…”
How are you?
“Elnor?”
“A lot of things happened, but I was asked to attend anyway.”
“…”
Hey.
Beatrix’s eyes began to narrow, but Elnor avoided her gaze and continued to delay her answer.
“…”
It looks like there won’t be an answer.
And the topic that Elnor had just brought up was quite nerve-wracking, so Beatrix eventually sighed and joined her in changing the topic.
“…After all that commotion, the dinner is finally going on?”
When Beatrix spoke in a tone of bewilderment, Elnor’s expression frowned.
Actually, there are many things I don’t understand about this one.
“…It looks like you have something important to say.”
Elnor stood up from her seat, recalling the only explanation she had received.
You will have to go and hear for yourself what on earth they are talking about in such a hurry.
●
“I’m talking about revising the law related to bigamy. “This time, we obtained His Majesty’s consent.”
At the first words Elijah uttered at her dinner table, everyone present reacted in a variety of ways.
A person who got caught, a person who dropped a utensil, and a person who held the glass they were holding so tightly that it cracked.
“…”
My reaction is, that is.
First of all, eat food.
Tagliatelli has a salty taste thanks to the addition of salt. The meat sauce goes well with the long, wide noodles.
[Are you trying to escape like that?]
“…”
I put my head down on my plate as if I was trying to analyze the molecular structure of food, and then raised my head at Caliban’s prompt.
However, the liquid nitrogen-like coldness that was still pouring down on the table showed no signs of going away.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Elnor, Feinol, and Elijah exchange glances.
If there had been physical force in the gaze, it wouldn’t have been surprising if an explosion had occurred. Their eyes met back and forth in an instant.
“I’m going to tell everyone the same thing anyway when they come, but I think I should tell the people here first.”
And then, breaking through the silence, Elijah opened her mouth again.
In the meantime, his eyes are focused on Elnor.
As if I’m telling you to listen to that.
Elnor’s face also frowned severely in response.
“…I know that bigamy is not that unusual among high-ranking nobles. “What is the reason for designating it as a law?”
“No, no. Bigamy in aristocratic families is a form of clearly dividing the hierarchy into separate ‘true wives’ and ‘concubines,’ right? “When it comes to authority and various rights, there is a significant difference in status between the confidant and the confidant.”
“…”
Elnor’s expression became even more distorted.
It is clear that he has an intuition of what words will come out of Elijah’s mouth.
“…Maybe that’s why you tolerate all other women. Isn’t that right, princess?”
“What do you want to say?”
“It means designation of a special law. “Please grant ‘equal rights’ to all women who marry, especially Ms. Dowd.”
As Elijah smiled at her, she placed the relevant documents on her table.
And then.
A small ‘gift box’ is additionally placed on top of the paper.
“…”
As soon as I see that, I feel a terrible ominous feeling.
The atmosphere, which had already begun to freeze, begins to harden even more as soon as one sees it.
“Teacher.”
And, those words just fall out.
“Would you like to open it?”
“…What is this?”
“You’ll know when you open it, well.”
“…”
I hold it with trembling hands.
No way.
I don’t think so.
“…Ah.”
As soon as I see the contents, my head feels spinning.
Ring.
A ring that looks incredibly expensive at first glance, and that clearly has a special condensed meaning.
“…This-“
“That’s exactly what the teacher thinks.”
“…”
Before I could say anything, Elijah continued.
Elnor’s face, who was sitting next to her, was turning into that of a demon, but she didn’t care at all.
And.
“What?”
Nothing.
From noble mtl dot com
“Let’s just get married, right? “To the ‘second crony’.”
I set off such a bomb.
●
Hero openly declares the only reason the last boss was holding back is she got to be on a higher position than the rest. Proceeds to tear down that throne then immediately give Daud a ring to marry her right in front of Elnore.
Good god her breasts are her balls with how large stones it took to do that.
I need Beatrix to be involved now. Other non-demon characters too like saintess and chancellor.
That was bold and decisive, as expected of the hero.
