Furthermore, Elise is the daughter of the eldest son of Cardinal Hohenheim. Naturally, a husband who isn’t suited to this family status is useless.
Because Cardinal Hohenheim is a Viscount, it had to be an heir or family head of one level of the upper or lower class. (T/N: Earl or Baron)
I believe this much is the least estimation.
“Given that Elise-san is quite the beautiful type, the competition should be quite fierce, shouldn’t it?” (Wendelin)
Though I thought 『Having her serve tea for people, what a prided granddaughter!』, there was no merit in angering a big-shot of the church here either.
I was determined to do nothing but speak well of the girl called Elise.
The tendency of a salary-man of a second-rate company in my previous live came out.
In reality, since she is a beautiful to the degree of deserving the admiration, it is quite easy to do my part without any need to strain myself.
If she were a woman like Miriam, I wouldn’t say a word after all. (T/N: Erich’s wife)
“Talking honestly, there are a lot of such families.” (Hohenheim)
Since there are several Earl households, I have the impression that she received many requests to become the legal wife of a family head or an heir.
“I thought you’d say that. With such a degree of beauty, I wonder whether I should become candidate as well?” (Wendelin) (T/N: MC, you fail at business talks)
Later on I would wonder why I said these words after putting them under a careful consideration. Apparently it was due to the strong influence of my previous life’s memory.
In my previous life I wasn’t very popular with women (T/N: Yea, pretty obviously)
Since I was without exaggeration quite unpopular, after becoming acquainted to such beautiful girls such as Ina and Luise, I didn’t properly consider the target of my passion and marriage partner either.
I only thought that I was lucky to become their friend and that I am unrelated to such a level of beautiful girls in the first place.
Up to here I might not have been realistic.
“Ooooh! So you will kindly receive Elise as wife?” (Hohenheim)
“As I am still not of age, wouldn’t it be difficult for me to enter an engagement at the current time?” (Wendelin)
Even though I spoke words due to my loose tongue I usually would never utter at all, I thought of them as impossible solution to begin with within my mind.
As a kind of lip service I planned for it to be a light joke.
“That’s true. Since Elise is, just like Baron Baumeister, 12 years old, we can for now only announce the engagement and then once you become an adult we will be able to officially perform the marriage, isn’t that right?” (Hohenheim)
