After the reunion with his family, Olivia gave him a lecture. After being scolded by his mother for an hour or so, he was called in by his father, Beluga.

"What can I do for you, father?"

"I'm on my way to the royal castle. You  will  follow me.

"Oh, is it about the war?"

"Thank you for understanding so quickly. You're right. We're going to honor your achievements in this war, but we'll have to discuss it beforehand."

"I see. I understand."

"Now, get ready. I'll be waiting in the carriage outside."

"I will  be done it as soon as possible.'

 As he reached for the doorknob to leave the room, he remembered something and looked back at Beluga.

 "By the way, do mother know about this?"

"Yes,  she already know. That why your  lecturing lasted only a few minutes.

 It's crazy to think that just a little bit is an hour. Leorde asks Beluga with a fierce look why he didn't help him.

"Wouldn't it have been nice if you'd at least covered for me a little then?"

 

 When Beluga heard this, he snickered and asked Leorde the question in return.

"You think I can stop Olivia?

"...... That's   true "

"Mostly, it's my fault for failing to inform you that I' m okay, so just accept it.

"............ Tsk.

"Ah! Hey! You just clicked your tongue!"

 Leoldo hurried away before he could be caught. With the door closed and Leolde gone, Beluga was left alone in the room. Beluga, who had been on  his feet when Leolde finally clicked tongue, let out a sigh and sat back in her chair.

Huh~. That's right, Leolde. You haven't changed at all. ......"

 Although he is complaining, Beluga's face is smiling.Leoldo's attitude earlier was clearly not good, but it was something he missed terribly. He had the same attitude as when he had once been ridiculed as a golden pig, but he was not that unpleasant.

"'Huh. ....... I feel so nostalgic."

Beluga was deeply impressed by how quickly a child grows up.

 After that, Leolde  got ready to go   to the royal castle and headed for the carriage where Beluga was waiting for him. On the way, he encounters Charlotte.

"Oh, are you going somewhere?"

"Oh, yes. To the royal castle."

"Oh, you mean the war.

"Yes. Well, it's about the raw read ."

"What's in it for  you ?"

"I don't know. It's probably just a knighthood, a fiefdom and some money."

"What kind of territory is that?"

"- Oh, you know, the ones where I gathered evidence and betrayed the kingdom. It's in the vicinity of Ze'at, so I can take it if I want "

"Oh, I see. Well, then, it's going to be a tough time for territorial reform."

"Yes, it will. But I'm thankful for that. I still have a lot of work to do!"

"Yes. Well, I'll help you with that."

"That's always  welcomed . Thank you."

"Don't worry about it. It's fun to  do ."

 Charlotte parted  with Leolde  with a fluttering wave. Leolde walked a little faster and headed for Beluga.

"You're late, Leolde."

"I'm sorry. I was talking to Charlotte for a while.'"

"I see. You can't help it if  that Charlotte . Let's go.

"Yes, father ."

 The two of them got into the carriage and headed for the royal castle. On the way to the castle, Beluga asked Leolde in the carriage.

"By the way, Leolde. Do you intend to marry?"

"Why so suddenly?"

"No, I thought I should ask you."

"Huh. I see. Well, I think I'm as good as anyone."

"I see. Well, let me tell you, this time you'll be offered a marriage by the royal family."

"What? Why is that?"

"Because your achievements are too great. Your title, your lands, your money. ... they  cannot reward you with any of these. Then, what to do? The answer is simple. Marriage to the royal family, the noble blood."

"Wow. ......"

"Well, that's my prediction. And What would you do if you were offered a marriage to the royal family?"

"That's .......

"You may think that refusing would bring disgrace to the royal family, but you need not worry about that."

"What? Father. Isn't that just plain impolite?"

"Normally it would be, but you are too special. What you have shown in this war is too great. You probably don't know this because you haven't read the report yet, but the defense of Ze'at was  getting victory. There was almost no damage. It has become a well-known fact that it was thanks to you that that result came about."

"I I didn't know that at all. ......

"In the event that you're a hero of the nation's salvation who has demonstrated military and intellectual prowess, you may not be the equal of the royal family, but you will be overlooked to a certain extent. "If you don't want to marry someone you don't like, you can refuse.. The royal family won't want to antagonize you either."

"Huh. ......"

"So, think it over. Think about the future."

"Yes, father . I understand. ......

 He looked out the window of the carriage in a daze, unable to grasp the reality of the situation.
