Chapter 7
It was a mild night.
The half lit moon gave off a soft light.
The sound of the bugs was just like a melody that gently strokes ones ears.
The second floor of the Wisp house. Solute’s room.
The autumn breeze was blown into the room through the wide open window.
[The last time I drank with you. It was also on such a night, huh.]
The current Rozerem duke- Hydraus Rozerem, muttered after pulling the gla.s.s cup from his mouth.
[How nostalgic. Was it when Alty and Els was only three years old?]
He nodded towards his decades long friend, Solute Wisp.
They met many times at court but drinking alone just the two of them like this, was a long time ago.
[Its been five years. The guys at the magic academy had considerably aged a lot…. but you look as nice as that year.]
[Thats because I’ve been training. As I’m always flying around the country, I don’t know if anything dangerous might happen.]
[Thats it. I have also tried to move my body, but I always ended up too lazy.]
[Doing it with someone might be good…now one more cup.]
[Oops, sorry.]
[Its from the nearby Rosilez duke. How is it, quite a taste right?]
[I guess this is what they call mellow drinks right?]
Hydraus gently lifted his gla.s.s and saw Solute through the pale water of the gla.s.s.
[Because I’m with you that I get to enjoy these stuff.]
[Me too. Today… I’ve troubled you.]
[What. Its no big deal. Alty is still 8 years old. Failing is obvious.]
[That makes it easy then. Anyway, Hyde, you made a great decision in front of the kids.]
[Its the opposite, opposite. I was able to keep it down because it was you. Its not like its…Leure.]
That was the name of Elsat’s mother who died giving birth to him eight years ago.
Solute and Hydraus were childhood friends of the same age, and both coincidentally lost their wife eight years ago.
Probably they have the same burden in their hearts that they quickly became friends again.
[Speaking of which, how is Tourus?]
[A letter has just arrived recently. There seem to be some kind of three-person relations.h.i.+p going on. Fortunately, no one seems to have the upper hand yet.]
Solute have two children.
One of which is of course, Altirea, and another is her big brother Tourus Wisp. Currently, he is studying in the west country across the ocean, Malgaroid kingdom.
[Aah- since Tourus is even more good looking than when you were young. Aren’t you glad it isnt a four-person, five-person relations.h.i.+p going on there?]
[Tourus is even more insensitive than I am thats why I hope its not a six-person, seven-person–twelve-person relations.h.i.+p there.]
[If its like that then its terrifying. It would be good if he can come back alive. What about Alty? She already 8. I think its about time to find her a fianceé.]
[Even if you say that. Its quite a difficult situation.]
[If there is no partner, then our Els–]
[Thats nice to hear but I don’t think those guys at your house will agree to it.]
[We’re both dukes. The status matches.]
[Thats not it. Its Alty’s magic. What do you think?]
[I see. Sorry, I completely forgot that.]
It seems Hydraus understood immediately.
[《Possesssing fantastic talent makes the house falls》–there was such a useless legend.] (TL: its a kind of legend like phrase : 異形の才を抱えた家は潰える. I totally suck at this, uu.T_T)
To the ‘young’ n.o.bles like Solute and Hydraus, its just a joking matter but the obstinate old men, who holds the real power in each house, are completely convinced.
[Alty will surely be told that when she gets married. As a parent, I don’t want her to go through that.]
[Then is a married-in son in law fine?]
[We have a perfect heir, Tourus, here you see. Its difficult. My old man is also making quite a fuss. Hurry and marry her, hurry and marry her, he said.
Being frank, I think she’d be happier if she married with love as a doll master rather than the marriage engagement.
Well, the choice is still up to Alty. No matter what way she chooses, I am going to help her as much as I can.]
