Chapter 7
The end of the feast
“What the hell is going on!
I couldn’t help but look down at my cheeks getting hot after a mouthful that I couldn’t stop following.
I don’t know what’s going on with Master Wilhelm’s face. But I’m sure it conveyed how much I am in love with Master Wilhelm. I’m sorry I lied to you, but I’m sure Master Wilhelm wouldn’t convince you of any number of words in line.
But – crushing my aftertaste like that was such a hysterical voice.
“… Rayford, back off, I thought you said so.”
“Father! Why do you condone Carol’s stupidity! Why would Carol do something like that to Wilhelm when she said she was against me and Mary and that she should protect Jeong-sook!
“Do you know what you’re talking about…”
Ha, and His Majesty the King looks up to heaven in great sigh.
Naturally, the Lord of Hysterical Voices is my former fiancé, His Highness Rayford. Apparently, the fact that I am communicating my feelings of love to Master Wilhelm from earlier is not satisfactory to this Highness.
You dumped me first, Your Highness.
“No, I’m not convinced, Father! From what Carol said, this woman admired Wilhelm from an early age! Then it would be like you were committing injustice while you had a fiancé named me!
Gee, and His Highness Rayford will stare at me.
But why? I’m not afraid of one thing.
“Carol! I’m disappointed in you! I didn’t know Wilhelm and his fiancée were going through like that while I was there!
“I don’t know what His Highness is thinking, but it is true that I admire Master Wilhelm. But I have never revealed it to Master Wilhelm until today.”
Truth is, until this day, I was prepared to live with this thought.
I was going to support His Highness until His Highness forfeited my engagement.
But I guess that has nothing to do with His Highness.
“Hmm! You’re a depressing woman even with excuses. You are!
“Your Majesty”
“Rayford… are you that stupid…”
His Majesty looked at His Highness with a crying face when he said that his father had merely called His Majesty’s name.
Whatever you think, Your Highness’s words are nothing but rhetoric. How could His Highness have thought that the surroundings would be convinced with these words? In addition to that, there is more and more cursing at me.
Maybe I’ve been hated by Your Highness since I was your fiancée.
“Father! Please punish this woman!
“Today’s night club shall be open. Miss Carroll and Wilhelm’s case will be a little steep. We have to make a decision tonight.”
“Father, go!
“Shut up, Rayford! Now I’m pissed off from the bottom of my heart that I had a son like you!
His Majesty finally drank a strong drink on His Highness’s repeated words.
Exactly, you didn’t think you could yell at me like this. His Highness is frightened and shook and surprised.
No way, you’ve never been scolded? That, though, is likely to be more problematic for His Majesty’s educational policy.
“Lady Rayford…”
“Mary…… sorry”
“Yes, that’s okay. As long as I can be on your side…”
“Mary……”
And Your Highness and Miss Mary are doing something in their world on their own. Honestly, I can’t look at it anymore.
Oh, and his majesty coughed up a little.
Wilhelm.
“… is”
“For the rest, I’m not going to disagree with Miss Carroll about her engagement to your lord. Instead, I would rather recommend an engagement with your lord in order to atone for the discretion my son has taken. But I wouldn’t be bothering Wilhelm with Miss Carroll. The final conclusion rests with your lord”
……
To His Majesty’s words, Master Wilhelm will not move with his head bowed.
A little, did I say too much? I’ve had a lot of thoughts in my heart since I was seven years old, and I can’t stop myself anymore.
Now, I’m embarrassed.
“Miss Carol.”
“Yes.”
“You know Wilhelm doesn’t have a single floating rumor.”
To His Majesty’s words, I nod.
I naturally know that. You think you’ve been alone all your life since you were younger and didn’t marry your wife? I have also heard that Master Wilhelm himself was the third son of the Earl family, and that he was not forced to marry, because that is one of the reasons.
In addition to that, we are in the position of the Knights Commander, and if there is a war against another country, we must go to the battlefield immediately. After the war, if it was enough to grieve your family, you chose to be alone?
That’s why I admire you, Master Wilhelm.
“Let’s hear a lot about it. As a not stranger to scattering on the battlefield whenever you want, I don’t want to have a family to leave behind, or anything that sounds good, but the truth is, I’m just a handful. Otherwise, Miss Carroll would never have been more lustful in her words.”
“Heh, Your Majesty…!
In His Majesty’s words, Master Wilhelm is turning his face bright red.
In a night club that yelled at His Highness Rayford and quieted because of it, a voice that sounds very loud. Said that in front of the crowd, how does Master Wilhelm feel now?
“The way this guy looks, it’s not something a woman can have. Mustaches on tough faces, bear-like bodies, plus a wild voice, make the oligarchy loose. Approximately, it’s a good example of getting old without being involved with a woman in my life.”
Well.
So besides me, did anyone admire Master Wilhelm?
That’s a pleasure, but on the contrary, it’s also a wonder. How come so many wonderful ladies don’t admire you so much?
“I look forward to the rest. Miss Carroll… if you do, you may be able to serve with Wilhelm.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty”
“Then it shall be dissolved. Tonight, it was daunting!
With His Majesty, yes, declaring the end of the night club.
The night when the distance between me and Master Wilhelm shrunk rapidly marked the end.
“… No, it’s great, Carol”
“Yes, Father”
“If we can invite Lord Wilhelm all over the house, the Duke’s family will be stronger. Carol also made such an embarrassing imitation of such an old man whispering love.”
Kuku, and Father, who has the face of a villain, yes, he appreciates my words. Though I just spit out what’s in my heart purely.
I’d like your father to know at least.
“The contemporary sire is a wonderful figure, but if he were to take the place of the next generation of His Royal Highness Rayford… the court would be rough. So what we need is a rocky territory and a mighty military force. My Duke of Ambrose has a vast territory bestowed upon him by His Majesty. What is needed, then, is military power… It is great to be welcomed into the house by the Knights of Wilhelm Eiblinger in the present situation, which may, if at all, lead to the flipping of an anti-flag against the Kingdom. The Son of Exchange will undoubtedly be treated as the Successor of Lord Wilhelm”
Father.
“If Lord Wilhelm, the chief of the Knights, put it here, the Knights can follow it here as well. In addition to that, the Territory’s private soldiers can also be trained by the Knights. That’s fantastic. No way, in that moment, I read the end of a shifting situation. I didn’t expect to nominate Lord Wilhelm. Carol, you are such a wonderful daughter.”
Father.
Big mistake.
I am only a sixteen-year-old woman. Like your father, you don’t live in a noble society full of thoughtful and far-fetched. I can’t believe I can understand everything in such a flash, though I’m likely to understand.
Not many, I guess Father also has a grudge against his own child.
“First of all, I’d like to say”
“But the question is whether Lord Wilhelm can remit the child at his age… if he has to, just make the child to others… hmm, what?
“No, Father. I…”
Father thinks everything I do in a nightclub is an act.
After looking at the political situation, you think I offered to be engaged to Master Wilhelm. Maybe only your father thinks so.
“I truly admire Master Wilhelm”
“… Carol, I’m the only one here. The joke.”
“It’s true. I am prepared to fight side by side if Master Wilhelm points a spear tip at the Duke of Ambrose house. I… Carol admired Master Wilhelm much more than I did at a very young age.”
To my proclamation like that.
My father – he remained a confident expression until then, with his mouth open.
