Leoldd and Beluga parted ways after arriving at the royal castle. Apparently, Beluga had come to the castle to attend to other matters. After parting with Beluga, Leolde went to the king to discuss the reward.
"Thank you for coming, Leold. Sit down, please."
Leolde did as he was told and sat down in front of the kin and they faced each other, sitting on chairs.
"So, Your Majesty. What can I do for you at this time?"
"Hmm. As you've probably guessed, I've called you here to discuss your accomplishments in the war."
"Oh. Is that so?"
It's not that he expected it, but it's what Beluga told he , so Leolde wasn't particularly surprised.
"And so, Leolde . I'm thinking of a knighthood, a fief, and some money for your achievements. First, as for the title, I'm going to give you a title of a frontier count. As for the territory, since the Empire has given me the territory after facing Ze'at during this war, I will leave it to you. And as for money, I'm thinking of giving you a portion of the ransom for the Imperial soldiers captured in the war."
"I see. That's quite a lot. But can I, a young man, be allowed to give me that much?"
"You may think that you will be antagonized by others, but there is nothing to worry about. I'm sure the nobles who participated in this war will keep in mind that they must not make enemy of you."
"I see. ....... Is that a relief?"
"Yeah. And there's one more thing: .....".
"Is it a marriage with the royal family?"
"Did you expect this too ....... That's right. I want you to marry my daughter. But it is not compulsory. I'm going to make it very clear that I'm going to leave it up to your will. And you don't want to marry someone you don't like, do you?"
"......, Your Majesty."
"If there's something you want, I can add it. What do you want? I'll give you whatever you want, as long as I can fulfill it.""
It's not a big deal for Leolde , even though the terms are unbelievable. He was already able to handle some things on his own.
"I have no particular wish. I'm sure i will be well compensated and anything more would be too much to ask."
"That's an auspicious thing to say, you know. But that's who you are now, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's all for now. You may leave now, as I will settle this with the Prime Minister."
He was about to get up and leave the room, but something kept bothering him, so he asked the king.
"Your Majesty, ....... That is, Her Highness Sylvia say anything about this matter?"
Suddenly, the king was asked a strange question, and he froze like a pigeon hit by a peashooter. The king stopped thinking for a while, but finally understood what Leorde had said and resumed his thinking.
"Ha. ....... Did you just say Sylvia?"
"Yes, ......."
"Why are you asking me that? You refused to marry Sylvia before, didn't you?"
"Yes, that's true, but ......"
"Have you had a change of heart?
"...... I don't know. But I don't dislike Her Highness."
"You mean you don't hate her, but you don't like her either?"
"I'm sorry."
"No, no, no. I'm not accusing you of anything. It's just... I'm just wondering why."
The king was puzzled by Leoldd's change of heart. He heard about Leolde's feelings when he proposed his engagement to Sylvia, so he thought Leolde would never take a liking to Sylvia.
However, what came out of Leorde's mouth this time was about Sylvia. Moreover, since his face was dyed red in embarrassment, I was staring at the fact that he might be taking a liking to her now.
"'Before I knew it, there was His Highness among my loved ones. Without being a vassal or a royal, I wanted to protect her Highness."
"Well, ....... But, Leolde". I'm sure you're aware of that.
"That's .......
"It's ...... Leoldo. You can take your time to talk to Sylvia. Whatever the outcome will be , I don't blame you."
"Your Majesty, ....... Thank you. Goodbye."
"Yes. When you have your answer, come to me."
"Yes !"
The king let out a sigh of relief when he heard the door slam shut.
"I'll leave the rest to the two of them .
The king's face was smiling, even though he said he was troubled . Humming happily, the King called the Prime Minister over to summarize Leold's prize. At that time, the Prime Minister, who had found the King's good mood uncanny, did not ask him why he was in a good mood. The Prime Minister was convinced from years of experience that if he provoked the king, the conversation would turn long.
Now, having decided to talk with Sylvia, Leolde went to her in the royal castle. After asking the servants where Sylvia was, Leolde went to the courtyard. He was told that Sylvia was drinking tea in the gazebo in the courtyard at this time of the day when the weather was fine, so he hurried to the courtyard.
He found Sylvia and Rebecca in the gazebo in the courtyard. When he found Sylvia, Rebecca, and the three maids, he took a moment to catch his breath and then walked up to them.
"Hello. Your Highness Sylvia, Rebecca."
"My , Sir Leoldo? What is the matter ? Aren't you supposed to be talking to His Majesty?"
"I've already finished with him . I would like to speak with Your Highness now. ......"
As he said this, Leolde looked at Rebecca and the maid. Realizing Leorde's intentions, they said a few words to Sylvia and left. At that time, Rebecca spoke to Leolde in a small voice.
"Sir Leolde. Whatever decision you make, I will respect it. I hope you will not regret it.
"Thank you. Thank you for understanding my feelings.
"No, thank you. Take your time."
After staring at Rebecca's back for a while as she walked away
Leolde turned to face Sylvia.
"Your Highness. May I sit down?"
" Yes, please."
The expression on Leoldo's face as he sat down in front of her was serious. Sylvia couldn't help but become nervous at the sight of Leolde, who was different from his usual mood.
(his atmosphere seems to be different from the usual . ......)
Finally, the relationship between the two of them is at its peak. What kind of answer will Leolde give?
