110 – Marquis Appointment Ceremony (1)
After an extremely peaceful time, it was finally the day of my father’s appointment as a marquess.
As soon as I woke up with Aisha’s body in my arms.
[ La Crucio’s liberation penalty is removed. ]

My mana limit penalty is finally gone.
[You have achieved the achievement of ‘A Beast Satisfied with Desires’. ]
[ Gain strength and stamina bonus stats. ]
It was confirmed that the bastard is in good health. I’m going to go to the middle of the day at this good moment.
Come to think of it, what was the notification window? It seems that the three goddesses of the night were manipulated, but now they come out normally again.
I guess I need to find out more.
What is the existence of this ‘notification window’ visible only to me in this world?
When La Crucio’s liberation penalty ended, he felt the chain that was tightly tightening his heart loosen, and at the same time, a huge amount of mana began to boil.
It was similar to the sensation I felt when I regained my original condition after suffering from a cold for about a week.
The feeling was stronger because I always kept my body in optimal condition with mana.
“Pee… It’s over.”
Aisha opened her eyes as soon as I regained her mana, and then groaned and dug deeper into my arms. That too while blowing air into the cheeks and inflating them.
No, shouldn’t I be happy if I get back to normal? This is very sad
Feeling heartbroken for no reason, I poked Ayesha’s puffy cheek with her finger. Then Aisha floundered in a dainty way and pushed my hand away.
“Hadima!!”
What’s that short tongue sound in her? Cute
Smart!
“Tir. Are you awake?”
“Oh, yes, yes! It happened!”
She was startled by her father’s voice outside the door and stood up. Aisha jumped up at the same time and got her clothes done.
I didn’t do anything particularly cuddling, but I can’t see him hugging a woman in bed in front of my father.
As we were making noise, my father opened the door leisurely, taking a minute to prepare quietly.
He is also a noble among nobles who knows how to be considerate of others.
Thanks to that, I was able to stand in front of my father with a tidy appearance, even though I was wearing pajamas.
“Hmm…”

My father entered the room, took a quick look at me and Aisha, and then drool.
What is it? Was there anything you didn’t like?
However, my father cleared his throat once and then said it casually.
“There will be a marquis appointing ceremony and a celebration from around noon until midnight, so start preparing now. As much as it’s a happy place, as a noble, you shouldn’t show more flaws.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
In the original work, because it was a mess due to the intrusion of the swamp of the five elements, it was immediately skipped after the battle, so I didn’t think I was crazy.
As the Marquis Appointment Ceremony is a celebration of the Empire, most nobles attend to congratulate us. Of course, it is also for political movements to cope with the emergence of new forces.
The father and son of the same family are given the title of marquess side by side, and this time, isn’t it even credited with destroying the devil’s conspiracy?
It’s weird to not be noticed. Presumably nobles with various purposes would approach me at this celebration.

My father knows this, so he must have come to give me advice.
“Do as you like.”
However, his father’s advice was plain.
“After graduating from the academy, you will become independent and become the head of your family. From now on, there is nothing I can do for you other than to teach you the dignity and dignity of a head of household.”

My father was already trying to face me as an adult, not as an immature son.
Even though I didn’t spend my adolescence with my family, the feeling that I was acknowledged was clearly conveyed.
“I will not be conceited and will work harder.”
“Um.”
From nob le mt l. co m
My father seemed to be happy with my answer, and after a slight nod of his head, he went out again. And before he closed the door he had one more word.
Not me, but Aisha.
“The Archwitch.”
“Yes, yes! Father!”
It sounds pretty awkward because a kid who speaks flatly even to the emperor is using an extremely honorific title for his father. My father slightly averted his gaze from Aisha.
“As for the dress… It would be better if the shoulders were not exposed.”
Then the door was closed.
After my father left, Aisha and I looked at each other puzzled. And in that moment I realized
Aisha’s nightgown is a negligee that shows off her shoulders. She hurriedly puts on her jacket, but because she is translucent, the skin on her shoulders is still visible.
It doesn’t matter that she showed bare skin. Aren’t there a lot of sensuous dresses of aristocrats that show not only the shoulder line, but even her chest?
The real problem was something else.
‘Ah…’
On Aisha’s pure white skin, the traces of the night before, the marks of her teeth that I had bitten were still exposed.
Anyone can guess what happened between me and Aisha at midnight just by looking at this.
I covered my father’s face with both hands, feeling ashamed that he had revealed my private parts.
“Huh?”
However, the person in question doesn’t notice the fact at all and is bobbing her head from side to side in a dainty way.
Now I understand why my father panicked as soon as he entered the room.
Damn it.
After that, I was sweating for a long time trying to soothe Aisha, who was upset about what kind of face she should be in front of her father.
—–
Ah… I want to die.
I inadvertently thought that.
Even if I die soon, I have no intention of erasing the token of love that Tyr made on my shoulder, but I really didn’t know that my father-in-law would find out about it.
Although she must have been embarrassed herself, Tyr calmed me down. It was comforting that he hadn’t been caught in the middle of making love.
She’s not even properly engaged yet, but what if she’s considered frivolous by her father-in-law?
‘Engagement…’
Inadvertently, the ring on the ring finger of my left hand and the ring swaying on the necklace caught my eye.
A ring that I proudly declared that I would wear it on his finger someday after the war.
Now, the most precious treasure of all, containing half of Tyr’s soul.
‘Uh heh heh…!’
Then the events of the night before flashed into my mind.
Finally! Finally, Tyr told me that he loves me, that he will only love me!
What a joy! How long have I been waiting for that word!
Just yesterday, Tyr had even left traces of himself on her body, so she thought that now she had nothing to do with her greed.
‘But…’
I realized this while being discovered by my father.
Embarrassment preceded it, but soon after, I came to the idea that I couldn’t show this trace to anyone. There is no evidence of love between me and Tyr that I can show off to others.
In addition to that, Tyr has no trace of me. I am the only one who hangs on the things I received from Tyr.
‘People say there is no end to human greed.’
Now even Tyr may announce his relationship with me in front of others. Even if it’s not now, someday we will definitely show our love in concrete form.
But I kept getting greedy.
This man is greedy to reveal the proof that he is mine and to taste a sense of superiority!
This makes it seem like I’m the only one impatient and trying to hold him back. No, uh… It’s true that I’m impatient, but that and this are different.
It’s completely different from what can only be seen with words and attitudes, and having obvious evidence that no one can doubt. The only thing that can express that clearly is the engagement ring.
‘Should I ask you to join me?’
I was tinkering with the ring and even thinking about that before shaking my head vigorously.
I confessed. But the engagement hasn’t happened yet.
I want to be the one who gets a proposal, not the one who proposes once in a lifetime.
How nice it would be if Tyr took the lead and declared that he was mine to everyone in the world. Anyway, now it’s a situation where you confessed that you love me.
“Haa…”
She felt like she was becoming a clumsy woman who was becoming more and more greedy, and suddenly she felt sad.
When I sighed, the ladies-in-waiting next to me who were helping me with my makeup all bowed their heads in amazement.
“Sorry, sorry, Archwitch! If there’s anything that upsets you, take this one life!”
I was thinking about something else for a while, and I only took a single sigh, but this kind of reaction.
After all, Hwangseong is different from the academy. Although there was an atmosphere of fear and reverence for me, I did not regard myself as an object of fear to this extent.
Do you still remember the incident a long time ago when you complained about not having a student you liked and returned to the cold land? Rather than remembering, it must have been handed down through word of mouth.
It was said that Nanika covered the incident well, but how can such an anecdote easily disappear? It will be known only to some people.
Because Nanika was bewitched by the royal family because of that incident, it was like she had played the role of her love cupid without even realizing it.
While I was getting my makeup done again after appeasing the ladies-in-waiting, a brilliant idea came to my mind.
‘Yes! Nanika!’
Being bitten by Tyr was also possible because of Nanika’s words! And since she is a Nanika who has numerous dating and marriage experiences, she might be able to give me the right advice right now!
Why did I come up with this only now? You stupid idiot!
I’ve been thinking about demons and not thinking about my best helper, Nanika. No, where did you think of it even now!
He said he would set up a place to talk to Tyr after the appointment ceremony, so you can ask him secretly then!
You are my friend too! Thanks, Nanika!
“Uhh… Ehehehehe…!”
Unknowingly, inadvertent laughter leaked out, causing a small commotion in which the ladies-in-waiting were startled again.
