Letter from the North-2
I thought I would be very busy after becoming the head of household, but surprisingly, many things were going smoothly.
In fact, it was because I had done a lot of pre-work in advance.
Originally, after I became the family head, I would have cared about the forces that did not acknowledge me, but perhaps because I finished it pretty neatly, there was no such controversy.
As much as Adrian and Mirazen helped me,
He was able to stabilize the territory in a much faster time than expected.
It’s a good thing for me, but I felt awkward because things went so well.
I thought it would be a bit more difficult. Reynolds also seemed puzzled by the schedule that ended so quickly.
Although I judged that the nobles would not accept me so meekly. I don’t know why they are so cooperative.
However, even such doubts were quickly resolved, so Count Yugris, who came to the estate one day, told me.
“Taylor’s head of household has always had an absolute position, but this time it’s a little more special.”
“I mean?”
“It is even more so in that the former head of the household is Arthur Taylor. Wasn’t it very famous, if it was a genealogy leading to Arthur Taylor and Yuria Taylor. Quite a few nobles must have known.”
I didn’t know that breaking the genealogy was more supportive because it was me.
However, if I were to argue, I was closer to the royal family than to the aristocracy.
Even knowing that, I never imagined it would come out here.
It must have been because the way her father and Yuria had been doing was too close to oppression.
Since I, the complete opposite of him, became the family head,
I think the majority of aristocrats expect things to change now.
“Then you will be happy. It is the force that will lead you anyway.”
“And the fact that I supported him must be of some help. I’m not trying to be condescending, but aren’t you the kind of person who would be your maternal grandfather anyway?”
“…Hey, it’s unprecedented, though.”
There are many families that had an arranged marriage with Taylor, but there was no family that directly supported a certain family head after marriage.
Ordinarily, it is destroyed before then. Or it’s because I caught the line wrong and broke it.
There were families that gave up support altogether because they didn’t like that, but Yugris was already supporting me even after losing one person.
It was unprecedented, and the implications of it were quite great, eliciting the ‘maybe’ thoughts of the nobles.
It’s not that I don’t know, let’s laugh lightly, and the count who laughed along quietly continued.
“Recently, I heard that Her Highness has been getting along with Her Highness. I wonder if they are just friends or if they have other intentions.”
“It is not intentional. If there was an intention, I would have been closer to His Highness the Crown Prince.”
“That’s right. However, from what I’ve heard, I heard that the relationship between the two of you is not unusual. Let’s hold hands and go out together.”
“…I think we’re a little close.”
He swallowed a small moan at my answer, and then smiled and looked at me.
For some reason, the count frowned at the strange expression, and the count quietly pursed his lips.
“Shouldn’t you have a wife now?”
…I thought it would come out like this. He let out a sigh at the words that stabbed him right away.
It was just yesterday that I visited the imperial palace to meet Mirazen.
Rumors have already spread though? It was absurd, so he must have had this kind of heart from before.
You must have done quite a bit of research on me.
As he thought, the Count, who had just been talking about the princess, spoke of Adrian.
The Count seemed quite amused when he said this, so I let him go on.
Sometimes it wouldn’t hurt to listen like this.
Maybe, if my mother was still alive. I didn’t know you were talking about this in front of me right now.
“Recently, you had a relationship with the saintess, and this time with Her Highness the princess. Now I know that you are more capable than I thought. Are you interested in polygamy?”
“It can’t be. If you are in a relationship with the people you mentioned, they will not allow you to have polygamy.”
“Well, there must be a way. For example, if you rise to the position of grand duke by setting up the ball. Wouldn’t you like to be allowed to have an independent force in your own way?”
grand duke It’s not like I didn’t think about it at all.
It was ruled out because it was unlikely.
And isn’t having a wife an important thing right now?
I’m only joking. The more you think about it, the more complicated it becomes, so if you want to think about it in detail…
Wouldn’t it be possible to at least do it after killing the prince?
Realizing that my reaction was not very satisfactory, the count stopped talking about his wife for a while.
It’s not that I’m in a bad mood, it’s just that I’ve been thinking a lot, but anyway, it’s true that I don’t want to think about it right now.
Still, I couldn’t keep quiet, so I opened my mouth to bring up another topic.
“In fact, if there’s one thing I’m planning right now, it’s to rebuild the system of power from scratch.”
“Again, if you say. How much is it?”
“It means that Taylor will completely change his attitude. If you have acted as a representative of the aristocracy up until now, this time you want to add a little more power to the imperial family.”
Hmm. The Count, who let out a small moan, seemed to be thinking about various things at my words.
Giving power to the imperial family rather than the nobility wasn’t that simple.
And as long as the balance of power that was firmly held was broken,
Maybe he wondered why I was moving the way I did.
In the end, the fundamental goal was to empower Keitel, but it was a little later that the Count, who was still deep in thought, opened his mouth.
“You seem to have something to gain from it.”
“Yes. If not, there is no need to try.”
“If that’s the case, it’s not something I’m talking about. I’m just the count leading Yugris, isn’t it the duke who ultimately decides?”
As if he didn’t want to ask me anything more, he took a step back and gave me a small smile.
I thought it would turn out like this. It was just a little strange that he didn’t complain.
Wasn’t he the kind of person who was like this from the first time he said he would become the family head?
I was just grateful I didn’t ask. Even if you ask, I can explain, but
It might have seemed a bit awkward to stick to the imperial family and try to increase Keitel’s power.
However, my relationship with Keitel was quite secretive.
He and I were the only ones who could talk about the dragon’s relic,
Isn’t it a fact that only Keitel knows that he supports the subjugation in the south?
I could tell you someday, but that wasn’t it now.
It was still quite awkward to meet the Count like this.
No matter how casually I tried to talk, it bothered me that he was my mother’s father.
When I see the count, I think of my mother, and
There was a part of me that I didn’t even know what he was thinking about me.
It’s fortunate if you think positively, but if my actions become like my father’s or YuRia’s.
I hoped Count Yugris would stop me.
And I also wanted to get a little closer to that kind of relationship.
Around the time he was complaining about whether he should have continued what he was talking about with his wife earlier.
I caught sight of Renald, striding across the garden.
To come like that even knowing I was here with the Count. It was clear that he was bringing some very important news.
“Please wait a moment. I have to confirm.”
After saying that, I got up from my seat, and Reynolds approached me and bowed his head.
Renald, who has recently become more relaxed, let out a small sigh.
Having time to sigh is not a very urgent situation, is it?
If it wasn’t an emergency, I was a little curious if it was news or something.
However, the moment he received the letter from Reynolds, he laughed a little at the laughter that erupted without his knowledge.
“I thought you would react that way. I think it came sooner than I thought, but it must have come at the right time.”
Looking at the smirk gently, Renald took his eyes off him again and let out a cough.
The letter was from the North. A letter from the North,
I wonder if there is only one person who can send me something like this.
After rubbing her forehead for a while, she swept her face and accepted the letter.
I know you haven’t been in touch.
Still, I didn’t think I’d send a letter like this already.
Carefully checking the contents of the letter, it contained a letter written in Adele’s handwriting.
It also didn’t contain much.

Just like Adele always did, it was a short letter that was concise and full of content.
– I heard that you can’t contact me because you are very busy. I don’t know if he’s busy meeting the saint or the princess, or if he’s busy resolving Yeongji’s affairs. He must be busy since he hasn’t contacted the North even once. I don’t blame you. I just send my deep consolation for your hard work.
I was fed up with the explicit sentence and laughed.
I don’t think he was originally like this, but he seemed to be quite upset that I hadn’t contacted him.
And I think I know that I met someone else.
“It seems to be the coat of arms of the north. Is that correct?”
I nodded slowly to the Count who asked me if he could see it from a distance. You’ll probably soon find out that the letter was sent directly from the Grand Duke. And if you realize that the Grand Duke’s gender is a woman.
“…Hoo.”
The Count, who showed an expected reaction, looked at me with a rather strange expression.
He didn’t even know that what he was talking about his wife was still going on in his head.
If so, would the candidate be a grand duke, a princess, or a saint?
It was an absurd delusion, but I turned my head again as I watched him seriously worrying in his own way.
“Did you have a schedule to go to the north?”
At my question, Ronald’s brow wrinkled. It was because it was not easy to change the schedule suddenly.
But, well, I guess I can make some time to listen to it for a while.
That’s why I’m also the one who brought Leonald all this time.
A lot of things were done pretty quickly, so it was worth saying that there was quite a bit of time to spare.
Reynold, who had been looking at me carefully, opened his mouth cautiously, as if he had sensed my meaning.
“I think it might be possible. Would it be all right for a week or so?”
“That’s enough.”
-If you’re a little more relaxed now, I’d like to see your face before I visit you. I hope you won’t reject this either.
If you think of a woman who tries hard to say that she wants to see you, wouldn’t there be enough reasons to create that kind of composure?
It was something I couldn’t do now.
Don’t delay, you’d better do it now.
