A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 214 – Deciding on the Disposition of Seluna

Nina and Alberto left Anna and Seluna alone and went outside the dorm for a while.

The reason the two came out of the dorm was to discuss Seluna’s future plans.

“First of all, you know that Seluna Emeraldia is my slave, so I have the primary authority to dispose of it, right?”

“Of course.”

As Nina said, Seluna Emeraldia was not owned by Alberto, but was registered as Nina Gratias Baron Esselton’s personal slave.

Being registered as a privately owned slave meant, in other words, that no one else than the owner could decide on Seluna’s disposition

Let’s say that Antonio, a merchant from the Bregern Empire, felt sorry for Seluna and wanted to free her.

Ordinary people would have thought that if the emperor wanted to, he could liberate Seluna, who belonged to Nina.

However, the slave-related laws of the Bregen Empire protected individual ownership so that even the emperor could not take privately owned slaves at will.

And even if Nina and Alberto were to marry under this bill, ownership of Seluna remained with Nina and not with both of her husbands.

Since it was property created before marriage, the ownership prior to marriage continued.

So even Alberto, who would marry Nina in the future, could not dispose of Celuna as he wanted.

There was this background behind Nina’s words

“That’s why I took Nina outside. “To discuss Seluna’s future plans.”

“Is it okay if I tell you my honest thoughts?”

Nina wanted to tell her Alberto her thoughts without hesitation.

Because she didn’t know how Alberto would react to her thoughts, she tried to enter the conversation with the assumption that what she was going to say was to reveal her true feelings.

“Are you okay. “No matter what you say, it’s your opinion, so I’ll respect it.”

Alberto saw Nina like that and told her that he would respect her as much as he could, thus laying the foundation for her to give an honest answer.

“Since you said so, I guess I can tell you what I think.”

Nina responded that she was glad to hear Alberto’s answer and confessed her honest feelings to him.

“First of all, even if you forgive her Seluna, I don’t think I can forgive her.”

Nina had no intention of freeing Seluna from her slavery.

In any case, wasn’t he the one who brought Alberto to the brink of death?

When she thought about how she had to live in sorrow and emptiness for three years because of her wrong thoughts, Nina wanted to tear Seluna to death right away.

So, as Nina expressed that she could not forgive Seluna, she revealed that she had no intention of freeing Seluna from her slavery.

“Can I hear why you thought that way?”

Alberto was curious about why Nina made that decision, so he asked her again.

“That demon, no, elf named Sel Luna Emeral Dia is the one who forgot her her own her text her her her her.”

This is what Nina said.

Seluna Emeraldia is a member of the bodyguard that protects Lumio, the queen of the Kingdom of Alberium. In her actions and her thoughts, she must refrain from doing anything that is harmful to the Kingdom of Alberium.

However, she insulted the sons of powerful noble families of her allies based on only what she heard.

Depending on the listener, Seluna’s remarks could be interpreted as disparaging comments about all the nobles of the allies.

For some reason, shouldn’t you be managing it well so that such nobles don’t emerge? It was possible to think that.

‘That may sound like that.’

After hearing those words, Alberto thought that although he himself was a nobleman, the world of nobles was a truly complex and profound world.

Nina’s words continued, and she said that it was fortunate for Cell Luna that she was able to get away quietly because those present were swordsman idiots who only knew swordsmanship, but it was unfortunate for Alberto.

Alberto expressed doubts about the statement that if a high-ranking noble from the Bregern Empire had been present, she would have immediately sent a letter of protest to the Kingdom of Alberium upon hearing Seluna’s remarks her hers, putting strong pressure on her.

“Are you saying it’s that harsh?”

“Nobles die by honor and live by honor. Of course, behind the scenes, you can see that they are looking after their own profit, but in any case, if a person from a foreign country insults a noble of their own country, unless the person is labeled as a complete idiot, it is considered as if they are challenging all the nobles of their own country. In other words, even if you curse that person, we will curse, you should not curse! “That is.”

“It’s really complicated.”

“Even if there is a mischievous younger brother in my family, I have to beat him up. It’s the same in any family where people’s eyes turn when they come back from being beaten by someone else’s child.”

“Aha.”

Alberto was able to understand Seluna’s mistake only after hearing Nina’s perfect analogy.

In other words, she had crossed a line that should not have been crossed.

“So, what are you going to do with Cell Luna?”

“What should I do? “She is quite skilled in swordsmanship and has some ability to manipulate spirits, so we should make her our personal guard and make her work for the rest of her life.”

Alberto had nothing to say when Nina answered, “It would be a waste of resources to let people with this much talent just play.”

It was because what Nina said was absolutely correct.

“Then I will leave that part completely to Nina.”

“Really? “Are you saying it’s okay for me to do anything?”

“They say a husband and wife are one body. So what you are scolding is not what I am scolding?”

“Hmm? “Does that mean you’re going to get married right away?”

“Please wait one year. Just one year. “After my birthday next year, I will finally become an adult.”

Alberto is now 18 years old. By imperial law, he becomes a legal adult only after his 19th birthday.

So, even if you were engaged or liked each other, you had to be over 19 to get married.

This was because it was believed that only ‘mature people’ who could take responsibility for their own lives were qualified to perform the marriage ceremony.

“Okay, okay. Instead, don’t make them wait too long. And then I become a grandmother.”

Hehe, don’t worry. “I made a plan so that I could get married as soon as I became an adult.”

Alberto answered, “The first thing to do is to return to the empire and restore his status.”

Perhaps because Alberto was cute, Nina hugged her cute lover tightly.

“Aww~ Our master, you’re so cute, I don’t know how you can hold out until you become an adult.”

“Keek, Nina, Nina, I’m suffocating.”

Alberto didn’t know what to do when Nina suddenly hugged him.

He was also a sword master, so if he pushed it wrong, Nina could get seriously hurt.

After spending some time alone, Nina and Alberto entered the dorm.

Then, he unilaterally informed Seluna of the decision made outside.

“Seluna. You will never escape slavery until I die. “You will continue to be a slave and have to pay back your sins to me and Alberto.”

“All right. “Master.”

Despite Nina’s one-sided notice, Seluna accepted it.

However, while she accepted it with resignation before, she now accepts her role more actively than before.

The fact that Nina could not escape her slave status until she died meant that he had to serve her only until she died.

No matter how long a human’s lifespan was, it was shorter than that of an elf.

Of course, since Nina was a wizard and not an ordinary person, it was clear that she would live longer than an ordinary person.

Still, it would be shorter than the elf, so I just had to hold out for at least that amount of time.

“Well thought out. Because he really likes people. “I said I would only blame you and not your family.”

“I would like to express my infinite gratitude for that.”

Seluna bowed deeply to Alberto in response to Nina’s words

With sincere gratitude coming from her heart

“Hehe. Is it so. It has to come out like that.”

Nina smiled and laughed at Seluna’s proactive appearance

With this, Seluna Emeraldia completely became Nina’s exclusive slave.

Her term of servitude her is until Nina Gratias Esselton returns to her her natural bosom her her her.

Alberto and Nina, who have decided to dispose of Celluna, have finally completed all preparations.

Now all that was left was to enter the Bregern Empire.

The time was finally approaching to go there and finish everything.
