104 – A change for good, a change for bad

This is the second time I’ve seen the Archduke since meeting Prince Schrelitz.

Except for the highest nobility of the empire, the emperor and the heir to the throne, no one can do anything about it.

A family that can have many under its command even when the armed forces of each aristocrat are severely restricted.

I’m not kidding, a man with the power to wipe out a mountain with a single word.

‘I can’t believe someone like that is having tea at a cafe like this.’

Cognitive dissonance seems to be coming, but on second thought, it’s not impossible.

The princess is also running out of her palace and stamping out at the academy.

There is no rule that says that a grand duke must confine himself to his own castle.

Every time they move, the surroundings go wild, so they just stay still.

“Father.”

As Elgar lowered his head, Kyle also showed an example.

Apart from being a grand duke, aren’t you an adult? He was a treat for him.

“Are you here?”

Looking at my daughter, and also looking at the young man standing next to her.

Archduke Ajas Mentine de Littorio greeted them with a light gesture.

“Sit down. It’s an inappropriate place to stay for a long time.”

As the two men and women sit across from each other, the owner quickly serves the tea.

The opponent was the opponent, and the money he received was enormous, so it was a reasonable move.

Kyle looked closely at Archduke Littorio, whom he was meeting for the first time.

First of all, unlike Grand Duke Schrelitz, who was a former top 10, he is just a moderate criminal.

It’s not that I didn’t exercise at all, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a strong body either.

If you look like that right now, you can see that you will suffer from all sorts of things in the near future.

‘Should I ask if you do some exercise?’

The tension caused by meeting the Grand Duke face-to-face? There is nothing like that.

However, after seeing many strong people, I am just very uneasy about Archduke Littorio.

“You have a thoughtful face.”

“Yes?”

“No. It would be rude to hold on to someone for a long time on the weekend.”

As Archduke Littorio, who didn’t know Kyle’s feelings at all, he couldn’t help but think that his thoughts had increased due to his meeting with himself.

“I think I heard about it from my daughter. Student Kyle.”

“Yes. And feel free to call me. Your Excellency the Grand Duke.”

“I’m calling it easy. I think it would be good to talk about something more important than the naming issue. How is it?”

“You are right.”

The extension of the gym is very important. Cancer, no way.

First of all, expand it by one, two, no, three times, and put twice as many instruments than now.

There is also a shower room, and if possible, it can be divided into an introductory class and an advanced class….

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to quietly get out of an embarrassing situation.”

Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ mistakes can lead politically to Littorio.

Especially in a place like the grand duke’s house, which is huge and deserves to be kept in check.

For this reason, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Littorio, and John Nassen, who solved the problem without any major problems, could not help but be grateful.

“I just did what I had to do.”

“It’s something I have to do.”

“The power I gained by destroying my own body, not through legitimate efforts, must be erased from this world. If it is left unattended, those who make legitimate efforts will suffer losses.”

Is that so, Archduke Littorio muttered and smiled as if he was happy.

Whatever the reason, in the end, I benefited from Jon Nassen.

In the family, there are still some people who feel uncomfortable with John Nassen who hurt Young master.

But comparing the first time and now, it’s clear that the current has faded a lot.

“I was awarded a medal directly from the imperial family. Late but congratulations And Littorio also wants to give you a present in the form of a donation to the academy as a token of gratitude. I heard it from my daughter. Kyle’s student is devoted to sports. So, I’m thinking of expanding the gymnasium, how is it?”

How are you, Grand Duke? All in all, of course! If you do, thank you so much!

You have to maintain a poker face, which is not always easy.

I can understand why my brother, that blunt guy, smiles happily when he stands in front of the new exercise equipment.

“That sounds like a great idea.”

I try hard to make a nonchalant expression, but the corners of my mouth have already ascended.

Archduke Littorio, who confirmed the appearance, was sure that his and his daughter’s predictions were correct.

‘I’m glad. He seems very happy that he wasn’t satisfied.’

Why did they even make an unofficial visit to this place?

It is a new point of contact with John Nassen without provoking the imperial family as much as possible.

Before it was too late, before the other grand ducal families moved.

‘People remember two things. The one who came first, and the one who came last.’

The first person to look for talent must be, of course, the imperial family.

So, until the imperial family delivered the medal directly and discussed the promotion of the title.

No one took the shape of approaching Jon Nassen.

And now, the imperial family has finished everything.

It was shown to everyone that Jon Nassen is a nobleman of the Empire. He made it clear that they respected the emperor.

It may not be sincere, but it doesn’t matter much if you can say it’s just a show.

After all, the world, people focus all their minds on the appearance.

The only thing left now is which of the archdukes will reach out to John Nassen first.

I have heard that Archduke Schrelitz has already shown a subtle intimacy with John Nassen as he heads to the battlefield.

If that’s the case, then Littorio and Bayen are the only places left.

How will you create good memories with John Nassen, who suddenly appeared after being silent for a while?

It was Littorio who moved first in the invisible ranking competition.

The Archduke moved unofficially, in a small cafe like this, even meeting him in person.

‘Archduke Baien will burn his stomach. He must have smelled money from this young man, but he must be grieved that he was caught on the heels of a matter with the Ministry of Finance.’

The military budget calculated by the Ministry of Finance, and the subsidies that Bayen put under pressure from the imperial family.

But thanks to John Nassen, that’s a lot left. No, he hardly even wrote.

Again, the Treasury is busy with rerouting the budget, and Bayen is in trouble.

Will he take the subsidy back, or will he just say he paid it for the empire?

For that reason, I even heard that the Archduke of Bayen personally visited the Treasury.

A nobleman who has no interest in power or martial arts. Focus only on the riches.

Bayen is such a place. If you see something or a person that can make money, you invest unconditionally.

And make sure to take a fair price for yourself. The line is not crossed.

I know very well that risking one’s life for a fairy tale, one could really drop one’s throat.

That’s why, while being greedy for riches, you don’t get angry because of those riches.

‘Anyway, thanks to you, I was able to escape the end. No, maybe it’s even better.’

Looking at the reaction, I’m sure that I was aiming for the right part.

Elgar said she would be more than happy to receive a decoration.

She honestly thought it might not be that much. Still, it’s an imperial medal, what could be more delightful?

But now it turns out that my daughter’s prediction was correct.

“… Your Excellency the Grand Duke. The instruments to be placed in it. There are too many missing now. It’s not just about increasing the size or width, but the content inside it needs to be fully improved.”

“Is that so?”

From the moment I received the letter, I noticed that he was different from the rumored John Nassen.

And seeing it in person, I understand why my daughter is so greedy.

It was clear that he was a man who would have a positive influence on his person in any way.

I’m the youngest in the family anyway. She is not an heir, and there is no reason for her to be bound there.

Until now, the people of Jon Nassen did not leave their hometown, but I heard that it was not compulsory.

And this Kyle, sitting in front, somehow seems to be thinking of staying in the Empire, not Jon Nassen.

‘His Majesty must have noticed that a long time ago, so he’s taking steps like that.’

In other words, this man in front of me was the person the imperial family wanted.

It’s burdensome to be greedy because of that. There is a high probability that it will be difficult to get drunk even if you covet it.

Because she knew that, and because Elgar knew that, wouldn’t she be more greedy?

“Yes. And most importantly, the shower room isn’t right next to it. There are a lot of people who have regrets about this part, and I also have a deep feeling. So….”

Kyle was excited about the gym extension story, not knowing the speed of the Grand Duke.

*

“How was it?”

After Kyle, who had an appointment in the afternoon, said ‘let’s go!’ And disappeared.

Elgar fiddled with the teacup and looked at his father, Archduke Littorio.

“Is my intention important?”

At the Archduke’s question, Elgar involuntarily smiled.

Hey, why is his intention so important? The important thing is only you and the other person.

“You should know one thing for sure.”

Putting on his coat, Archduke Littorio prepares to step out.

“The Imperial Family presented John Nassen with a ceremonial ceremony and an elevation to the title. It is to raise Jon Nassen higher. Socially, socially, everything. Do you know what this means?”

“… Yes. I know.”

“What is that?”

To Archduke Littorio’s words, Elgar swallowed her saliva once and replied.

“It means that the Imperial Family is keeping an eye on Kyle. To be precise, as a member of the imperial family.”

“Right. Everything shown now is part of the work that would have no problem connecting with the imperial family. The emperor’s medal, and the ascendancy as the emperor. With those two, there is no problem with being connected to the direct line of the imperial family.”

“….”

“Elga Bless de Littorio. You must compete with the imperial family.”

Every word comes flying like a sharp dagger.

Compete with the imperial family. The burden of those words is greater than you can imagine.

Even if you look at the atmosphere right now, you can roughly predict who the opponent will be.

“Now you lose unconditionally. Have no choice but to lose Do you know?”

“… Yeah.”

“Nevertheless, you are greedy. Is that right?”

“… Yes, that is correct.”

I have no choice but to admit it. The present self can never win.

With the title of the daughter of the Grand Duchess of Littorio, even if you die and wake up, you cannot overcome it.

But.

“If it were me in the future, it might be different.”

“You are the future. What is the future you?”

To the father’s question, her daughter answers.

“… The future Archduke Littorio.”

At that answer, Archduke Littorio kept a sneer on him.

“Did you want the Grand Duke just because of one man?”

“No way.”

“What if?”

“Among the things you can get when you become a grand duke, he is there too. So he wants to become a grand duke.”

At his daughter’s cold reply, Archduke Littorio laughed.

Can you really keep that word? Will the man really be secondary to my daughter?

Or, in the end, will the grand duke’s position be just a stairway to get a man?

“Where can you try? Get over your brother Elga Bless de Littorio.”
