EP.298
The day after my audience with His Majesty, I was sentenced to three months of suspension as I had been notified in advance.
Knowing this in advance, I suggested that we take this opportunity to go on an unpaid vacation and go somewhere far away with my family.
Louise said that she would write a letter of protest to the emperor, asking what I had done wrong, and Laura and Anya also said that this was not the case and said that they would appeal to the noble council.
While I was grateful that my wives were angry when I, the person involved, was okay, I also felt a little burdened.
I convinced everyone that I had come this far at the age of only 30 anyway, so if I wanted to continue my military service for a long time, I would have to endure some days of being beaten up like this.
When I told Friedrich, who had just returned from school, that he should go to the river with his father, he responded with such great cheers that he used this as an excuse to prevent his wives from protesting any further.
I would like to take him to manly hobbies such as hunting or city festivals, but…
hunting involves riding a horse and killing live animals with a bow or sword, but I don’t think it would be too dangerous and emotionally bad for Friedrich, who is only 6 years old.
The city’s festival was fun, with all kinds of food sold, eye-catching circus acts, and even minstrels, but it was judged to be bad for Frederick’s emotional health because it had prostitutes and drunkards looking for seasonal business.
After going through those processes, I ended up going with my father-in-law to the Marquis Benner’s family’s villa on the Elbe River.
As I closed my eyes in thought for a moment, Friedrich, who had fallen asleep in the carriage, woke up, rubbed his eyes and said:
“Dad, is that thing you see out there your grandfather’s villa?”
When Friedrich looked at the direction he pointed to, he saw a beautiful mansion with a blue roof.
My father-in-law said that among the villas upstream of the Elbe River, the only one with a blue roof is the Marquis Benner’s family residence.
What you see over there must be the destination of this trip.
“That’s right. “It was hard to come, wasn’t it?”
“No, I’m so happy to be able to come visit my grandfather’s villa with my dad, who was always busy and couldn’t play with me, and my mom, Laura, and Charlotte! “Also, the fried egg rice my dad made outside on the way was really delicious!”
When I was riding in the carriage, there was really nothing to do, so I just sat down and slept and told Frederick a lot of interesting things that happened on the battlefield.
Stories like the fact that the biscuit was so hard that a soldier in the company next to me hit the wall with the biscuit instead of a hammer, or that I fell from a horse when I first took horseback riding lessons at the academy.
Friedrich kept cackling and laughing because he thought that was so funny.
Even though it has been over 15 years since I was possessed in this world, it was very difficult for me to come up on the carriage over several days. Friedrich may have thought of me and said it was not difficult, but I was able to come with less fatigue thanks to my son’s always cheerful and cheerful appearance.
Laura must have woken up to the sound of Friedrich’s voice, and as soon as she woke up, he spoke slightly as if admonishing her.
“You should use proper respect for Friedrich’s father.”
“Your mom.”
“Add ‘yo’ properly like you would say to your teacher at school.”
I get excited every time Laura, who had behaved like a dog that obeys her master until she gave birth to my child, shows her motherly side in front of Friedrich.
I guess it’s because I feel fresh in behavior that I don’t normally see, right?
And soon the carriage stopped and an old butler came out.
“Are you Marquis Venner, Marquis Jaeger, and their families?”
I nodded my head in the affirmative to the formal question.
“We have prepared everything so you can enjoy fishing as soon as you arrive. And as you said in advance, we have prepared pork and beef, so our maids and butlers can cook it at your desired time.”
Even in normal times, everything in our family is done with someone waiting on us, so there’s no need to come to a place like this.
When you come to a place like this, the most fun is to cook and eat by yourself.
“I’ll call you if I need it, so you don’t have to help.”
“ah! Is that so? Yes, I understand. Then, I will place a servant nearby in case you come looking for it. And the fishing rod and bait are placed on the other side of the river, so you can enjoy it right away.”
After arriving at the fishing spot under the guidance of our butler, we put bait on a fishing rod equipped with a primitive reel and threw it.
The wives said they wanted to have a women’s talk for the first time in a while, so they sat down slightly away from Friedrich and I and started fishing.
“These days, flowy dresses or one-pieces are popular. Do you think the captain will like them? If you listen to the stories of other officers who attend social gatherings, they say they don’t like it when their wives wear clothes like that…”
“Laura, our rank is brigadier general. “How old are the wives of the officers around us?”
“From what I heard, most young women like it when they wear clothes like that. So, why don’t you try it on too? “If, after putting Friedrich to bed tonight, he asks me to hug him while dressed like that and with a slightly red face…”
“Your Highness Louise, no matter how bad that may be.”
“Rather than last time when Laura seduced me in those thin, flowy costumes worn by pagan dancers…”
“… Forget about that.”
Anya and Charlotte are now at an age where they have to have children, so the level of conversation between the wives is very high.
At times like this, my ears are so good that I wonder what kind of crime I am listening to these stories next to my children and father-in-law, but I don’t feel too bad.
That’s because all four of them are beautiful women who will stand out wherever you go in Reichburg, even if you don’t know for sure that they are at the top of the continent of Europa.
What man wouldn’t be moved both physically and mentally by seeing beautiful women, like flowers on a cliff, trying to please me?
“Son-in, why are you thinking so much?”
Those words brought me back to my senses.
“No, father-in-law.”
“You treat honesty like a vacation and do something strange that has never been done since the founding of the Imperial Army, but here, focus on fishing and your son. “Look at Friedrich, I like this old man, but doesn’t he want to play with dad more?”
After hearing that, I noticed that Friedrich, who had been talking with my father-in-law, was looking at me while holding his fishing rod.
“Dad, if the float goes down and then goes up, does that mean a fish has bitten it?”
“yes. “Until that happens, I’ll just keep waiting and talk to my dad.”
When Friedrich heard those words, he looked at me without looking at the fishing rod and started talking animatedly.
After seeing that, I decided to watch my fishing rod and Friedrich’s fishing rod together.
If you come here, I think it would be a good idea for that child to catch at least one fish with his own hands.
“……You know, Dad! Last month, I held an archery competition in which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince participated and other children also participated. I won first place. “I fired about 20 shots and hit 12 of them.”
“12 shots? “That was a pretty good shot.”
Since Friedrich could not handle the heavy combat longbow used by adults, he must have used a children’s bow during the archery competition.
So the flying distance will be relatively short and the tension will be weak, so I don’t know if it will be easier to hit.
Still, if a child who is only 6 years old can beat His Highness the Crown Prince who is 10 years old, wouldn’t he eventually become a genius at archery?
Just thinking about Bow Master Friedrich von Jaeger is okay.
“Then later, Friedrich will learn how to shoot a bow and become an archer who will leave his name in the history of the empire…”
At those words, my father-in-law said in a solemn voice.
“Bow… Bowing is great, but wouldn’t it be even cooler to become a great swordsman like your dad? If you have any ideas, I will buy this old man a good sword when he gets home.”
Friedrich answered those words with sparkling eyes like a 6-year-old boy.

“knife? “Grandpa is buying me a knife?”
“Well, since my grandson won first place in archery, I can buy him that. “I will also engrave Friedrich’s name on the sword.”
…… Even though she only has one child, Laura, the sword that requires engraving is quite expensive, and she is trying to stop a 6-year-old child from using it for fear that she might become a special archer.
He is no different from the rich old man we often see.
As I was laughing at the Marquis of Venner, who was trying to recommend the path of the sword to Frederick, I felt a feeling in my hand.
A contradictory sensation that tickles but is slightly heavy.
I don’t know what kind of fish it was, but it was definitely a big catch.
As soon as I lifted the fishing rod with force, a heavy feeling spread down my wrist and up to my shoulder.
“It’s a big one!”
As I shouted loudly, everyone’s eyes turned to me.
If I hadn’t caught a fish like this and had landed on the bottom of the river, I would be very embarrassed, but the more I reeled in the reel, the more I felt like I had caught the right fish, and my anticipation grew.
After pulling the rope with more and more force for about 5 minutes, a huge thing that looked to be about 1 meter tall came up.
Just one of these guys would be enough to satisfy us all with freshly caught salmon.
“Let’s end the fishing and have everyone eat lunch. Let’s go together with my father-in-law. “I will show off my skills and serve you delicious grilled salmon.”
So, I stayed at this villa with my family, including my father-in-law, for about 5 days and enjoyed a leisurely and peaceful vacation before returning home.
