74 – return (2).

Upon hearing of our return, His Excellency Duke Johannes and Duchess Claudia welcomed us very warmly.

“You’re back.”

“I’m back, father, mother.”

“I’m home.”

“yes. Did anything happen at Ortaire?”

“Yeah. I came to rest comfortably.”

“I’m glad.”

Adilun hugged the two of them once and came next to me.

“Did Phisis have a good rest too?”

“Yeah.”

I replied with a smile, and His Excellency Johannes, who had just seen Adiluun’s expression bloom, also looked at me with a very satisfied look.

“Did you both eat?”

Duchess Claudia also brought up the topic of eating. We nodded.

“Yeah. I ate at Ortaire.”

“Then you don’t need to prepare a meal. yes. Let’s talk about it later at dinner. Ahhh, Adilune.”

“Yeah. mother.”

“Let’s talk for a minute.”

“Yeah.”

As Adyllun and Duchess Claudia left, I faced His Excellency Johannes, who was looking at me.

“Oh yeah. I have something to say… … . I feel a little sorry for bringing this up right away to a person who has been taking a break, but I’m saying it because I think it’s necessary.”

“Tell me.”

“Hey, can you take care of training our knights?”

“Yeah?”

“Recently, there have been rumors that the appearance of monsters has increased near the wall of the Ice Sea. So I sent Sir Lucas to the wall of the Ice Sea. He’ll probably come back soon and explain the progress to me… … Strangely, I keep feeling anxious.”

Ice sea walls and monsters.

I was momentarily surprised that the time had already arrived, but I did not express it.

“… … Is that so. But isn’t it too early for me to lead the knights’ training?”

“What. All the knights here already know your skills. Also, since you’ve always trained with the knights of Rodenov, the knights will accept your instructions without much hesitation. If Adirun succeeds me anyway, shouldn’t you eventually be in a position to command the knights?”

“It is true. Well… … . I understand for now. Then, when can we do it?”

“From tomorrow. And if the situation gets serious, I’m thinking of setting up a separate subjugation party. I think we should stop it before the monsters coalesce.”

“I understand, Your Excellency.”

“great. Let me go. Oh. There’s one more question I’d like to ask… … .”

“Ah, tell me.”

“When is a good time to have a wedding? When this situation is over, I don’t think it would be bad to have a ceremony soon.”

“That, already… … You mean?”

“already? It’s already been a year and a half since you two got engaged. If it’s like another family, it’s time to have a ceremony. It’s not that I don’t like it.”

“It can’t be.”

“Then let’s think about it seriously. Looking at it earlier, Adirun’s expression is also in full bloom… … Looking at you, I feel a lot of trust. If that was the case, a relationship of trust would have been formed to some extent.”

“… … That’s right. All right.”

I nodded and returned to my room.

marriage. It’s a marriage… … .

Seeing that people around me say this, it must mean that the relationship between me and Adirun is quite good in the eyes of others. It’s something to be happy about.

Moreover, isn’t it a situation where there are less than 6 months left now? If so, you should prepare soon.

Of course, solving the northern monster invasion.

“Adilon. Did you have a good rest at Ortaire?”

“Yeah. mother.”

“Can you tell me what you saw? I want to hear it.”

My mother asked me about things at Ortaire. Perhaps, since I have never stayed so long anywhere else apart from Rodenov, you would like to hear my impressions.

“First… … The wheat fields were pretty. The waves were golden, and it felt like a golden river spread out. And… … .”

“cornfield? oh there… … . you know well Seneyu showed it to me when I was young.”

“Uh, did you originally know the countess?”

“Didn’t I tell you? That was the main reason you and Phissis got engaged.”

“Yeah?”

“I made a promise before. If she gave birth to two children, she would send the second of them as Daryl’s son-in-law or Duchess of Rodenov. Phishis was a boy and you were a girl, so in the end you became Daryl’s son-in-law.”

“Well, didn’t you originally compete with other families?”

“It is. Rumors about Physis were so bad. And for the past year, um. I don’t even want to think about that. It’s because people have become wonderful now, but before that… … .”

“Ahahahaha, that’s right.”

Obviously, last year’s Physics and this year’s Physics were completely different people… … It was understandable that my mother was worried a lot.

“What… … Since His Majesty started not paying attention to the provinces, we have taken the form of a strategy like this to find a way to live by ourselves, but it can be said that the two of you were married in the womb from the beginning.”

“aha… … .”

“Anyway, have you had enough sightseeing in Ortaire?”

“Yeah. I went around here and there, but I liked staying in the castle the most.”

“castle?”

“Yeah. You know very well that I don’t like walking around.”

“It’s not like that. But if I had spent a month in the castle, I would have been quite bored. You didn’t even have your magic workshop there.”

“that… … .”

To say that it was just nice to be with Physis was still a bit embarrassing. My face seemed to have blushed involuntarily, and my mother looked at me carefully and then opened her eyes wide, as if examining my neck.

“Oh my goodness. That on your neck?”

“Oh, is this? This… … .”

I was momentarily speechless. I didn’t want to pretend that I was bitten by a bug for no reason. It was a kind of proof that Physis and I had a relationship.

Of course, it wasn’t a proper relationship.

“You seem to have had a great time with Phissis.”

“… … Yeah.”

I said it as if I was a bit regretful, but my mother gave me a slightly mischievous smile as if she didn’t even notice.

“Whoops. You feel lucky I was very worried when you two weren’t getting along so well… … I also considered breaking up. Because I wondered if we were tying up the children who didn’t fit in with our greed. But seeing what happened… … Maybe it was fate.”

“Fate… … .”

“By the way, if you guys had such a good time… … I guess I’ll have to prepare for the wedding soon.”

My mother smiled slightly at me and then said one more thing.

“Are you ready for marriage?”

“yes. You guys have been engaged for a year and a half now… … It was about time that we decided to get married. They have passed the crisis of breaking up their marriage, and now, no matter who sees it, they are a very pretty couple who care for each other.”

“That… … Yeah.”

“How are you? Do you want to date him a little more?”

“… … Yes. Still, I think it would be better to get married.”

“Oh, why is that?”

“When I stopped by Ortaire this time, there were hundreds of letters from princesses to Physis.”

“What?”

“Anyway, he showed a good appearance during the last National Foundation Day… … I think it happened because the original face was handsome.”

“Oh my gosh. I didn’t expect it to be so popular.”

“Me too. So, to my surprise, I burned all the letters. Could this be wrong?”

At my words, my mother shook her head.

“no. Well done, Adilune. Originally, if there are things that flirt with you, you should get rid of them. Looking at what I did right now, it seems like blood can’t lie.”

“Anyway, I saw a lot of people aiming for Physis… … I think it would be better to just settle the relationship quickly.”

“When do you want to get married?”

“Six months later.”

“Six months later… … great. Then let’s prepare slowly according to the time. The north is a bit cluttered these days, so it seems difficult right now.”

“Is it cluttered?”

“Oh. I forgot to tell you this. It seems that the monsters are gradually appearing beyond the wall of the ice sea. He must have grown up eating people’s negative emotions. Your father said that as soon as Sir Lucas, who went to inspect the ice sea wall, returns, he will set up a punitive force.”

“The demons? Isn’t that dangerous?”

“I don’t know the scale yet, so it’s too early to say… … It sounds like a problem that needs to be dealt with immediately. According to the message near the Ice Sea Wall, it’s bigger than before… … I’m not worried at all.”

“This is a big deal… … . Could I be of any help?”

“Looks like you will have to step forward this time too. There are so many things you have to shoulder in the future to embrace you simply because you are young and because you are our daughter. It wouldn’t be bad for you to face those responsibilities this time. Be prepared.”

“Yes, Mother.”

“Of course, I’ll always keep you and Phissis together, so don’t worry about that.”

“Yeah… … .”

It’s a northern monster. I felt a bit depressed about the fact that our peace would be disrupted for a while, but on the other hand, I also felt fortunate to be able to protect the place I love with Physis.

I’ve never clearly decided what level my magic is… … At least there was no mage stronger than me in this Rodenov, so maybe I myself can be of some help.

Looking back, I was glad I didn’t cross the line with him at Ortaire. Because prenatal education can’t be done with dealing with northern monsters.

“Then go now. There must be something I need to talk to Phishis about. See you at dinner.”

“Yeah. mother.”

I left the Winter Garden and headed straight for Physis’s room. I felt like I had some things to talk about with him.
