Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family

7. Heir to the Empire – 06

The Grand Duchess of the Principality of Yohrha, Karin von Charlotte Yohar knows. Seeing her objectively, how attractive and beautiful a woman she is.

From the time she was born until now, she has never had a history of meeting a woman more beautiful than herself. None of the count’s daughters, who were fairly well-known in the social world, and even the women of the count’s family, who boasted that they had produced the most beautiful women in the empire for generations, were no more beautiful than her.

Although she doesn’t like noisy and crowded places, so she hasn’t been there a few times, but when she attended a party or a ball, she knew how many handsome guys were willing to try talking to her. I remember it.

Well, in a way, it may be that her eyes are not simply fascinated by her appearance, but her eyes are turned to the background of the Grand Duchess of Yohrha, but she is unable to distinguish between people who are blinded by her own greed and people who are lost in passion. He was confident that he had a good eye.

Where is it simply a face? Her body, which she had cultivated diligently without being lazy for a single moment, was comparable to that of most dancers, and she never felt that she lacked even the talent to learn and master something.

Face is face, background is background, talent is talent, no matter where she looks around the world, she never thought that there would be a better woman than herself.

She Karin When she thought about it herself, she couldn’t help but be the perfect bride. As long as it had eyes, and any man of normal taste would look at himself and be aware of the feeling of love.

That’s why I thought everything would end if I just got married, and if I stamped out the stamp that this man was my man.

Although the other side didn’t seem to have any special feelings for him, he thought it was only a matter of time.

That said, it felt like an act that seemed too rare to be too aggressive from this side, so I pretended to be shy in front of him for no reason.

Because it was a kind of common sense that in a romantic relationship, the one who pushes himself first will be defeated in the end.

However, it didn’t work at all. All failed

‘Nothing happened for three months.’

According to Karin’s prediction, the three months was already the time when history should have been made between a man and a woman, but nothing special happened between them.

And I guessed the reason why her liner could be so detached from her desires with a woman of her own level in front of her.

‘Cirilla and Say.’

As far as Karin’s looks go, she was confident compared to any other woman on the continent, but Cirilla and Sei also possessed looks that were not far behind her. There was.

No, from Karin’s point of view, Cirilla’s case was at least better. Because, to Reiner, Cyrilla seemed to have a stronger aspect of her as a family rather than as a single woman.

Of course, between men and women, you never know what will happen in the future, so you can never be vigilant, but it was a story that if you make a judgment based on what you see right now.

However, Sei’s story was somewhat different from Cirilla’s.

‘Because that child really doesn’t look like a human.’

Aside from the appearance that far surpasses that of a normal human being, the relationship between Reiner and Sei in Karin’s eyes is… It was so close that it couldn’t be called a normal relationship.

Otherwise, he didn’t like the subtle exchange between the two of them, but the woman Sei, who always stood by him instead of his wife himself, was something that was extremely annoying to Karin.

She couldn’t let go of her hands and watch Reiner and Sei. So, something has to be done. Before the two of them get even closer than they are now, I think I’ll have to do some tricks…

“… Majesty? Her Highness the Grand Duchess?”

The Grand Duchess, engrossed in the idea of biting her tail, was finally able to return to reality thanks to Kian’s cry from her side.

“… Kian?”

“It seems that the tangent time they suggested is about to run out. If I have disturbed Your Highness’ thoughts, I will apologize.”

“It has been done. What is the speculation?”

At most I was just thinking about men-related things, and it would be ridiculous to call such a thing a speculation.

The present Grand Duchess was located in one of the hideouts prepared in case of an emergency. She even wore a hood that covered her entire face, in case the dogs of the Marquis of Illivatus would catch her.

It was a bit shabby to say that it was the appearance of the Grand Duchess, the owner of the Grand Duchess, but it was unavoidable.

Because in this situation where the hounds raised by the Marquis of Illivatus were roaming about her Grand Duchess, she couldn’t find out that the Grand Duchess herself was trying to meet someone.

And it was even more so if the target claimed to be the legitimate heir of the empire and the missing princess at the same time.

But that was the time.

Kikkik.

With the sound of something being stepped on, I begin to hear the sound of someone striding towards me.

The sound of footsteps approaching without a moment’s hesitation soon stopped in front of the door where the Grand Duchess was located, and after a while, the door opened and a woman and three people who seemed to be following her appeared.

“… Ah.”

The moment she saw the woman entering her room, the Grand Duchess forgot what she was about to say.

She was indeed a beautiful woman, with beautiful silvery-white hair that hung down to her waist, as if made of molten silver.

Like her grand duchess, she was wearing a ragged robe, perhaps because she cared about the eyes of those around her, but the clothes she was currently wearing were not enough to hide the temperament she was born with. Was lacking

The temperament of an absolute loser who stands tall and looks down at the world with a grim gaze, and has the dignity to subjugate all things with only his authority.

Looking at that woman’s first impression, the Grand Duchess unconsciously came up with this idea.

If the true identity of that woman is not that of a princess, then no one in this world has the right to call herself a princess. He said that it would be hard to find a woman in this world more suited to the title of princess than that woman.

“… Nice to meet you, my name is Karin von Charlotte Jorah of the Grand Duchess of Yohrha.”

When her grand duchess tried to suppress her own emotions and greeted her, her princess looked at her with a sullen look on her face, and within her, her grand duchess said goodbye to her. He slumped down in the chair opposite her.

“Eurica del Cartesia.”

She revealed her own name with her really languid and sticky voice.

It was an unpleasant look, as if measuring the value of an object, and the Grand Duchess unknowingly frowned at her.

“…That’s it, Her Highness? Why are you looking at me that way?”

“Oh, no big deal.”

The princess shook her hand and smiled as if it was really nothing to her.

“For someone who calls herself a country’s grand duchess, she’s taking on a very insignificant appearance, so it only made me laugh. I’m asking just in case, but you’re not actually a grand duchess, but rather a lady-in-waiting of that lady. ?”

Qian, who was standing behind the Grand Duchess, became furious at those cheeky words that were truly rude. If you think about it that way, how can they be so rude in their first meeting with a subject who has no way to prove their identity!

“You dare!”

It’s not what he expected, but in a way, it’s a good thing. Although they claim to be the princess and loyal subjects who follow her, they are actually b*tches with no roots and no way of knowing where they came from.

If you’d rather intimidate them with force like this, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to gain an advantage in future negotiations with them!

Kian, who finished the calculation in an instant in his head, pulled out the sword that was strapped to his waist.

“…Huh?”

… No, to be precise, he tried to draw the sword, but he couldn’t.

Because the aura reminiscent of a spider’s web leaked from a man standing behind the princess, tying Kian’s body together.

When she looked up, she saw a man standing behind the princess staring blankly at her.

Kian was able to realize what the hell had happened, seeing himself being subdued in an instant, even though the other party hadn’t even lifted a finger.

‘Formless Keeper!’

The highest level of restraining the opponent through the intangible energy created from one’s own body!

As far as Qian knew, in order to subdue the opponent through the Intangible Keeper, he had to become a skilled person who could use at least the sword.

No matter how hard it may be, it’s not like he’s reached the level of a master, one of only 12 people in the empire… It was clear, at least, that the man standing there was far above Kian as a swordsman.

‘To think that he is the head of an organization, and he has a person of that level as his escort… ‘

Kian gently bit her lip, thinking that if they had such an empty mind, they might not be able to return here alive today. Open

“Please stop. Now that we know how good you guys are, let’s not measure each other. We were always here to talk, not to fight you.”

At the words of her grand duchess, her princess gazed intently at her man behind her.

“My Grand Duchess says so. That’s it, Ran. Stop playing trivia.”

“Yes, lower.”

And right after that, the cobweb-like aura that had surrounded Kian just before disappeared as if it had been washed away.

“Cheer!”

As Qian, who has finally been freed from her bondage, breathes heavily, the Grand Duchess sighs softly.

“… You’re too hands-on. No matter what, we’re going to be allies in the future, but I wonder if you’ve used your hands more than necessary toward the other person.”

“Well, Your Highness, Grand Duchess. At least I don’t think so.”

At those words of the Grand Duchess, the man the princess called ‘Ran’, who was wearing a hood that covered her chin, pulled back his hood to reveal her face.

‘… Hmm?’

Ran’s face revealed… It was just plain. It’s just, a normal face that can be found everywhere in the world, neither particularly handsome nor ugly.

But strangely… Looking at Ran like that, the Grand Duchess felt a feeling of ‘familiarity’ somewhere. She had that kind of weird feeling, like she was facing someone she knew all too well.

‘Why?’

At the moment when her grand duchess frowned between her own eyebrows due to a sense of déjà vu that even she herself could not figure out, Ran looked at the grand duchess and quietly opened her mouth.

“First of all, the Grand Duke and I have not had any relationship yet. No alliances, no treaties, no promises have been signed between us. That’s why we, too, want to make it clear that we couldn’t stand by the rude person who dared to draw a sword in front of the princess.”

“…..”

Certainly, the man’s words could not be said to be wrong. It was a clear fact that they and himself were only in a relationship that they promised to enter into an alliance with, and that there was no relationship at all yet.

“And secondly, I think the Grand Duchess is seriously mistaken… The Grand Duke and I are not planning to be allies. In the first place, isn’t an alliance an equal thing between people with equal powers?”

Once I heard it, it seemed plausible. Certainly, it seems that there are a lot of unidentified strongmen like Ran in front of me, but the opponent is only a mere organization.

Wouldn’t it be impossible for such an organization to form an alliance of ‘equal’ relations with the Grand Duchess of YoRHa, a renowned family even on the entire continent?

She must have used that man named Ran to show off her powers because the woman who claims to be the princess herself is also well aware of that fact.

But, thinking that it was also a kind of life-saving technique for her weaklings to survive, just at the moment when she was thinking that there was nothing she couldn’t understand, the Grand Duchess doubted her ears at her words that flowed from Ran’s mouth. I did.

“Of course, the grand duke’s side should take the form of being subsumed under our organization. Wouldn’t it be a little unfair for us if the other side dares to have an equal relationship with us when the difference in power between them is so clear?”

“… What?”

In response to Ran’s words, the princess stared blankly at the figure of the princess sitting across from her. As the head of the same organization, you looked at me with unspoken pressure, asking if you had anything to say.

“Karin von Charlotte Johrha.”

“… ?”

“I do not listen to the orders of those weaker than me.”

“…..”

Looking at her last word and seeing the princess slowly closing her own eyes, the Grand Duchess had a gut feeling inside her.

Anyway, the fact that today, she must have faced quite formidable idiots.
