To His Majesty’s words, Wilhelm-sam

To His Majesty’s words, Wilhelm-sama’s face blushed.

Inside the banquet that had become quiet because of Rayford-denka being scolded, it was a voice that echoed very well. Being said by that in front of the public, I wonder what Wilhelm-sama is feeling right now.



「With how he looked, he was not someone who was popular with women. With an intimidating beard, body that was like a bear, in addition to that, his voice is very low and does not talk a lot so he was hard to approach. He was approximately the best example of someone who had reached an old age without getting involved with women in his whole life」



Ma〜.

Then, other than me, was there no one else who had yearned for Wilhelm-sama.

That is a very happy thing, but I rather felt that it was strange. A person that was as wonderful as him, I wonder why women did not yearn for him that much.



「I am looking forward to it. Lady Carol……if it was you, you might be able to live together with Wilhelm」



「Thank you very much, Your Majesty」



「Well then, you can go now. Tonight, has been a great cause!」



His Majesty said that, together with the declaration of the end of the banquet.

The night where the distance between Wilhelm-sama and I had suddenly closed up, had ended.



「……that was unexpected, that was wonderful, Carol」



「Yes, Father」



「If Wilhelm-dono could be welcomed into our House, the House of the Duke would get stronger from now on. Carol also, whispering sweet words to an old man like that, I had let you do an embarrassing thing」



*KuKuKu*, Father who was making a villainous expression, had assessed my words like that. I had just purely let out what was inside my heart, though.

To Father, at least that I want to let him know.



「His Majesty right now is a very wonderful person, but the if it was the turn of Rayford-denka in the next generation……the palace would get messy. And the thing needed for that, is a rock-solid domain and strong military powers. Our Ambrose House of the Duke, has a very wide domain granted by His Majesty. Then the thing needed is military powers……if something happens, in this situation that we might rebel against the kingdom anytime, being able to welcome the Captain of the Knights, Wilhelm Waiblinger, to our House is huge. The child born, would surely be treated as the successor of Wilhelm-dono」



「Father」



「If Wilhelm-dono, the captain of the knights, was on our side, we can also command the order of knights on our side. In addition to that, we can to make training for our domain’s private soldiers that was on the same level of the order of knights. It is wonderful. To think in that instant, I did not expect that you had read the changing state of affairs and nominated Wilhelm-dono. Carol, you are truly a wonderful daughter」



「Father」



He had greatly misunderstood.

I am only a 16-year-old girl. I had not lived like Father within the aristocratic society that was full of forethought and foresight. It should be easy to figure out, that there was no way that I had understood that in that instant.

For even a little, even Father has probably prejudice towards his own child.



「Firstly, I want to say something」



「But, the problem is if Wilhelm-dono could make a child in his age……when it comes to it, leave the child making to someone else……mu, what is it?」



「No, Father. I am……」



Father was, thinking that all of the things I had done during the banquet was only an act.

He was thinking that, I proposed an engagement with Wilhelm-sama assuming that I had seen the state of affairs of the politics. Probably, the only person who was thinking of that was Father.



「I am, really yearning for Wilhelm-sama」



「……Carol, it is only me in here. Jokes are」



「It is the truth. I have the resolution, at the time Wilhelm-sama would point his spears to the Ambrose, House of the Duke, that I would line my bridles with him. I am……Carol have, from the time since she was young, yearned for Wilhelm-sama」



To my declaration.

Fatherーーwith his expression with overflowing confidence as it was, dropped his jaw open.
