Kekkon Shoya no Deathloop~Nosuji Reijou wa Nando Shindemo Megemasen~

An untrained culprit appeared about this from himself at the arrow tip, determined to cut off the untrained. Because of this, Crusade became the feather of passing the time, losing sight of the timing of organizing his thoughts.

Forced to marry, it can make Cattleya unhappy. If you think of her, you shouldn't be near her--

There is no way that Crusade, who thinks so, can move on to the next course of action.

Almost six years were about to pass, holding back a love heart imprinted like some kind of curse, but without any progress.

The fringe that had once been brought in on a hiatus was worthwhile to keep turning it down all the time, gradually decreasing its number. I guess we all realized that it's no use trying an unresponsive battle.

Marriage. When you are compelled to be engaged, each time you will remember the words of the former knight and her muddy feathers.

The sedation of the fringe rush was also gratifying for Crusade.

... but. I had no idea that the tranquillity was a foretaste of the commotion, nor did Crusade know it at this time.

◇

Crusade with distrust of the royal family, but that is only a personal emotion. There are a number of things that are more inevitable than living as a nobleman in this country.

The incident occurred in such an inevitable relationship.

--Royally sponsored, it is a night club.

On that day, Crusade received a direct invitation from the King to attend a night club held in the outhouse with Serenia.

When they arrived at the venue, the beautiful brothers and sisters were surrounded by a large number of human beings, but the two repeated their difficult greetings and did them over.

Neither Crusade nor Serenia like social places very much. But even if all the Duke's brothers and sisters continue to pull into the castle, it will create unnecessary evil pushes and unwarranted rumors.

So each of them participated in the minimum required event, and each time they accompanied each other as partners.

Then he goes around to say hello to all the people to indicate that he participated, and Serenia says he is "dizzy" in a good place in Kiri and leaves the venue. This was the usual way.

Even this day, when I had greeted the king, I was going to return to the castle immediately.

There is nothing wrong with the current king but his favorite minister. Show me your face and show me that you've responded well to the invitation, and I'll be satisfied with that.

—— With such thoughts, Crusade went to greet the high seat where the king and his wife would sit.

But what was called to the king there was an unexpected word.

"Is my partner still my sister today? Lord Vlage, it's time to consolidate yourself."

"... is"

For a moment, Crusade was impoverished by the reply.

The unmarried lady and her parents, who were asking about the situation around them, keep their ears shut here.

To an extremely troublesome question, Crusade answered with an unfamiliar smile.

"I'm still immature to have a family. I can't think about marriage right now."

"Sometimes having a wife and getting a child peels a skin off. Besides, if you're immature, you need a woman to support you."

The king sees the queen there. "You see?" the queen nodded softly.

"My wife told me. Whatever, don't you say you refuse to talk to a famous family all the time? Absolutely nothing. What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Not that I'm dissatisfied"

"You can't be single forever. If you don't have a decided opponent, you can do it with me on edge. I don't think that's a bad idea."

… how should I respond to this? In the face of the kind of crisis that came down and sprung up, Crusade devised desperately.

From the standpoint of ministers, we cannot flout the King's proposal.

But if you don't say no clearly, you will welcome a bride who can be ordained but still strangers.

There are sloppy lines of curious eyes around you. You can't let this place go, and you can't escape.

"... I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Your brother already has a woman in mind."

Suddenly, Serenia, who was silent next door, raised her voice.

He lacks any thought whatsoever, such as pinching his mouth to the conversation between the King and the Duke. Even if she is a Duke family person, it is not an acceptable act. To that disrespectful behavior, Crusade turns his gaze of condemnation, but Serenia takes a step forward with a cool face and turns her hand to her brother's arm to sweeten.

It's less and less like her.

—— So, when my sister purposefully pretended innocent public ignorance, Crusade finally realized.

"If you're my brother, you're so much in it that you can only think of marriage as that person. In this condition, I'm sure no beautiful woman will ever see it. So now, Your Majesty, please support your brother in his love."

"Serenia, what--"

Cruseld hurries to open his mouth to what his damned sister has to say.

Serenia gazed upward at the king as she clung to her airless brother's back, begging him. To that adorable trick, the king grinned and nodded without being offended.

"Oh, my God, did I? I thought I'd never hear of it, but if I had a proper opponent, I'd be relieved. So, who's the other guy?

"You shouldn't, Your Majesty. If you divulge the name of your opponent in a place like this, it's going to be a little noisy"

"Ha, so is that. If Lord Vlage is known to have been shot, the lady will turn women from all over the country against her enemies."

The king nods jokingly. It was as if he hadn't noticed that Serenia had done well.

It's a painful lie. Thanks to Serenia, I managed to overcome the crisis.

Cruseld breathed relieved as he snuck his strongly twisted back.

"Then, Your Majesty. We think it's time…"

"Regardless of the civilian population, I didn't know Lord Vlage, sitting at the top of the Five Dukes, would choose his companion for his colorfulness. That's a less impressive story."

Until then, the queen, who had listened in silence next to the king, leaked so poorly.

As Crusade raised her gaze, her gaze tangled with that of the queen, who narrowed her eyes at will.

Cunning colors float in the queen's eyes.

—— It's hard to think of a king who hasn't previously taken an interest in a young duke, suddenly coming up with an edge, etc. That means there are other beings who instigated him.

Cruseld noticed that the thread of the plot was growing towards him.

"Aristocratic marriages have the task of connecting other houses to one another and strengthening the foundations of the country. How much does a marriage in the Duke's family affect our country? You can't decide that based on personal feelings that you like or dislike."

The place, which should have been relaxed by Serenia, was filled with cold tension. Neither Crusade nor Serenia could say anything for a while, but merely stared at the queen, who spoke pale.

"Lord Vlage is also a young one. I know exactly what it's like to burn in love, but I need you to have a sense of crowning the Duke. Your marriage isn't just for you."

"But"

Serenia says, but the queen controls it with her gaze. No matter how much he disguised himself as ignorant of the world, Serenia was not foolish enough to defy the queen of one country.

"I'm sorry I said something harsh. But you two don't have any parents to guide you to, do you? So the old lady worked... Please, just think of the two of us, and you'll understand."

……

Brothers and sisters were stunned when their parents' deaths were brought up.

The Queen's words are synonymous with saying, "You do not know things because you have no parents."

The Queen is not directly involved in the matter eight years ago. Still, it was intolerable to be lightly touched by the royal mortals who once trampled upon themselves about the death of their parents.

But you can't give yourself up to anger here.

Getting angry is easy. "My parents were killed. That's what the former king and the incompetent hid from our loveliness," he said, raising his voice to the queen.

But then what happens to my sister next door to Crusade? What do the aristocrats think when they ask what's going on around here? What will happen to the Vlage family if it rivals the royal family?

The queen must be trying Crusade.

Once unable to resist the decision of the previous king, the young Crusader broke his knee. I dared to hang out with the prepared muscles of the royal family and the aristocrats sheltered by the royal family, knowing the facts.

But the king took his place, and the Vlages began to rebuild well. Nor is Crusade the kind of child who can no longer be told if he hits.

That is why the Queen deliberately brought forth the death of the Duke and his wife before a multitude of humans.

They're trying to see if Crusade is still willing to go out with the royal farce, or if he's going to play the young duke who lost his parents “illness” early on in this farce.

If you break your knees to them here, I'm sure the Queen will be strong enough to crusade the "by the King” fringe. The opponent would be a royal child who is sincere with the queen.... and of all the people in line for the fringe I've been saying no to, I guess.

If you're worried about a future that will be devoured, rebellion here is one hand. But that would dig up the incident eight years ago again, and a dispute would erupt between the royal family and the nobles surrounding it.

... In the end, I didn't have a choice.

Fortunately, Crusade is good at moves that don't put emotions on his face. I don't speak extra words, I'm also good at throwing up unintentional dialogue.

"... Your Majesty's concern, it hurts."

That's what Crusade said, and he thanked me. Seeing it, the queen distorted her mouth satisfactorily.

Serenia can put her strength into her brother's arms. Crusade felt her fingers devour deep.

"I'm glad you understand. I'm sure your parents feel the same way."

"... Yes"

"Don't worry. Your Majesty will choose who you deserve. With His Majesty's arranged marriage, the Vlages will gain further prosperity.... Hey, Your Majesty?

"Ugh, um"

The king seemed to be barely pressured by his wife's forceful remarks, but without glorifying her, he nodded several times pretending to be dignified.

—— Should I have just solidified myself with the right person?

A tossing regret came to Crusade's mind.

The number of contacts brought in directly was decreasing, but they didn't give up. However, I realized that the positive attack method was futile and they just took new measures.

But I didn't expect you to use the queen.

I resented myself for delighting in the tranquillity between the bundles.

... Shh.

I heard a small, sniffling noise. The source of the sound was right next to Crusade.

Seeing it, Serenia was tearing away from her bright eyes. The gaze gathered all over the venue at the girlie's flirtatious appearance, which allowed Shizuku to pass on to her cheeks.

She wept for a while, then covered her face with both hands and let her whimper echo around her.

"Stay, well, what's up, Serenia? Stop crying in here."

The queen, who had previously spread her superiority all over her face, reveals her impatience as she looks around.

Serenia, however, shook her neck sideways with her face covered without stopping her from whimpering.

Serenia is not without the idea of disturbing where there are large numbers of eyes, even if they are mistaken. I'm not even a weak-hearted girl enough to expose tears to others.

There was no way to scold her, and Crusade could only look at her sister's anomaly for no reason.

"Forgive me. It's all my fault..."

"... about what?

The king asks unexpectedly. Then Serenia raised her covered face and grabbed her chest tightly.

"I was born into a weak body, right here. How many times have you been sick and worried about your busy brother because of that --.

Fortunately, it could last until this year, but with a body like this, you can't really want a child or anything else. So your brother chose a healthy and successful woman to ensure that the blood of the Vlage family was preserved. "

"Oh, good night, Serenia. I can't have children in public like this, etc. Don't exaggerate that just because you're a little susceptible to sickness."

The queen panicked and embarrassed. To Serenia's too bold remarks, there seemed to be no room for malice.

"But your father and mother,“ suddenly ”died! Nor do we know when that will happen!

The cry of a girl full of high and sad echoed into the now quiet outhouse.

The king and the queen breathe. It was at the edge of Crusade's sight that several of the nobles surrounding him were upset and moved.

"Please, don't blame your brother. Because of my impudence... your brother had to choose a strong woman as his partner.

Now, only me and your brother draw the blood of Vlage direct line. We need tough women to give birth and raise more children. "

……

The king and his wife seemed incapable of saying anything.

Serenia's this is a complete lie cry.

It's just that Serenia is a little sick, not that the Vlage family is a weak lineage. Now Crusade is health itself.

But Serenia knows we can't all deny it, and she complains of legitimacy: "We welcome strong women to our daughter-in-law because our parents are sick enough to suddenly die, too".

Naturally, the king and queen cannot deny Serenia's words. If you deny it, the royal side will admit that "the death of the Dukes is not an accident or an illness".

The queen seemed to have lost a hand in the counter-attack by the farce she had just swung herself.

It's just that I may be distracted and can't find the words.

The air that should have been ruled by the Queen had somehow turned into a Serenian single-altar.

"To leave Vlage's bloodline! Even in future generations, for Vlage to serve the glorious royal family! Please accept your brother's determination, Your Majesty!

Serenia rolled a bright light in her crying eyes and looked to the king.

The king looked at Serenia, saw the queen trembling in defeat next door, and finally looked over at the venue and nodded, "... um".

"Oh, I know exactly how you brothers and sisters feel. If that's all you have to say, you can do whatever you want."
