EP.108 #Afterlife 1 – New family (4)
The Kingdom of Ferdin is a small country that is one of the weaker countries among the eastern countries.
The advantage is the wide breadbasket, the disadvantage is everything else.
Due to weak national power, the country is passive in diplomatic relations.
Because they have suffered such humiliation for quite a long time, they have a thirst for force.
This is something Elric already knows.
The royal family hoped that he would continue to remain in Ferdin.
‘I know that, but… .’
But what would you do if you handed this job over to such a young child?
Elric sighed deeply.
I think I roughly know it.
There was probably a discussion about who to send to settle the situation in the royal palace, which was shocked by the influx of guests from the West.
Except because the king cannot move directly, high-ranking nobles would not have stepped forward for fear that they might get caught in the dark, and just sending the princess here would create rumors about various political conflicts, so this is also excluded.
The only one left would have been the crown prince.
Children born in Ferdin begin their extracurricular activities at the age of 15.
I guess there was a good excuse that it was his first mission as crown prince.
Elric looked at the crown prince sitting across from the reception room.
Even if you show even the slightest movement, you will sigh like you just did and say ‘sigh!’ stop breathing
He looks very scared.
In reality, it will be like that.
Haven’t we heard for a long time that this crown prince has a very weak personality?
Of course, in this era of peace, such a disposition would be an advantage.
But at least, as the next owner of the country, this is something that should not be shown to a vassal.
“Your Majesty the Crown Prince, raise your head.”
Elric spoke in a soft voice and then knelt in front of him.
“How can the Crown Prince bow his head in front of the Baron? “You need to be a little more confident.”
The reason I don’t speak more politely is because I don’t feel the need to do so.
Nevertheless, I am polite because I understand the weight of the name Baron Portman.
When Elric spoke with respect, the crown prince’s head lifted.
A surprise appeared on the crown prince’s face, which looked exactly like the princess I saw at the inauguration ceremony of the lord last spring.
“I, Baron… ?”
“You may feel like I am a swordsman rather than a baron. Indeed, many people outside look at me that way. But not the Crown Prince of Ferdin. “If you’re the crown prince, shouldn’t you hold your head up a little more proudly?”
“Well, that’s…” .”
Elric burst out laughing.
“Don’t be scared. Also, please convey this to the royal castle. “The guests who come here will leave without causing any trouble, and as long as I don’t mess with them, I will remain as a nobleman of Ferdin.”
Only then did something like relief or joy appear on the crown prince’s face.
There’s no way to know exactly what’s going on, but in any case, the feeling that the job was done well is likely to take priority.
“Well, then… .”
“Go back. It will take a day to reach the kingdom by train. I will talk to my Duke of Wight and get you a good first class seat.”
As he spoke, the crown prince’s eyes sparkled.
Now that I think about it, I heard that there are some boys these days who are obsessed with railroads, and it seems like Crown Prince is that type.
Just before settling down, Elric remembered one more thing and said.
“Oh, and please tell me to stop fussing because I won’t be receiving any more titles. “If I were to persuade him further, he could really leave the country.”
The crown prince’s face turned pale.
Heads were nodding up and down frantically.
This concludes the entire situation.
“Okay. “Go.”
“yes… !”
The crown prince returned to the royal castle like that.
*
The commotion caused by the sudden gathering of guests quickly stopped.
“Now everyone, go your way. “I received your gift well.”
Elric said he thought he should send them back quickly for the sake of the territory.
Igret was very disappointed, but everyone else agreed, and the atmosphere was settled.
“Ah, should I build a magic tower here?”
Igret, who was dripping with regret towards Darlene, spoke until the end, and Edward stopped her.
“Sister, sister. Then, wouldn’t the Lord of the Magic Tower really fall…? ?”
“Mom gave up on me too. are you okay.”
“That’s really not okay.”
“haha! Yeomhwa is very filial and filial!”
“Religious guy, what did you just say?”
“What are you all doing in front of your baby? Let’s quit and go.”
After Zerdia sorted out the situation, they parted ways.
“It’s good to see you healthy. “Next time you get a chance, please stop by Nazak.”
“That’s right.”
They disappeared as quickly as they had come.
It’s been a series of truly stormy moments, so I’m finally taking a breather.
“So why aren’t you going?”

“Ahaha, that’s too much to say!”
Elric narrowed his eyes and glared at Elbus, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
It’s suspicious that he came here with the others, stayed particularly quiet, and hasn’t left yet.
But those doubts soon subsided.
“We have evacuated!”
“?”
“I got scolded by my wife! “Haven’t I become particularly nervous lately?”
I feel completely dumbfounded when I see Elbers smiling brightly while scratching the back of his head.
“Normally, they call it running away from home, not evacuation.”
“What if I run away from home?”
“Do you want to run away from home when you get that old?”
“Matriarch, it is not for you to say.”
Shocked, Elric trembled at Tyria’s command.
Naturally, my eyes slowly turned towards her.
It was a face that held back many words.
Elric was at a loss for words.
“Kyaaung!”
Darlene waved her hands.
Elbers spoke while the atmosphere was getting a little fresher.
“What a pretty child.”
Tyria bowed her head slightly as she spoke with a grin.
“thank you.”
I suddenly felt that the relationship between the two was very awkward.
Elric seemed to easily understand the reason, and sometimes he seemed not to know.
After all, is there any way for Elric, a man, to know how his wife feels about her husband’s friend?
Whatever it was, it seemed like he would be here for a while, so it was at that moment that I decided to get him to help me with some work.
“Hey, my lord!”
Rdio was startled and came running.
It was the moment when Elric tilted his head to see what was happening.
“Well, a guest from the empire… !”
The moment you say that.
bang!
The door to the reception room opened.
At that moment, Elric and Elbus stopped breathing.
“You are here. Anyway, running away is not creative.”
Tsk-
The woman clicks her tongue.
A cold expression and facial features reminiscent of glaciers in the northern snow plains, as well as sharp eyes and pure white hair.
“Boo, ma’am…” ?”
Elbus was embarrassed.
Elric and Tyria faced each other.
“Who is he?”
“That’s right. “It’s him.”
Irie Graham.
The woman who helped the profligate Elbers settle down, and the boldest heroine that Elric knows.
Again and again, she approached Elbers, making the sound of her heels.
Elbers tried to roll the wheel of the wheelchair to back away, but she was faster than that.
chin!
Elbers was caught.
Cold sweat broke out on her expressionless face.
For a moment, Airi looked at Elric.
A faint look of contempt appeared on her face, but Elric, who was already familiar with it, smiled and pointed at Elbus.
Only then did Airi’s gaze land on Elbus again.
She asked bluntly.
“Any excuses?”
“… “Please save me?”
“Other than that?”
“Did I do something wrong? But that’s it. “Even just thinking about the cancer, it seems like your wife is at fault too.”
Elbers suddenly changed his expression and started counterattacking with a bright smile on his face.
“Is there anyone in the world who throws knives because the order of the knives is wrong?”
Wow, Elric let out a small exclamation.
‘It’s worth running away.’
Irie Graham is the famous daughter of the Empire’s greatest knight family.
Since her strength is already at its peak, she won’t accidentally hit someone while throwing a knife.
Wouldn’t it be scary for those who are on the receiving end?
It was a moment when sympathy for Elbers suddenly bloomed.
“I’m pregnant.”
My sympathy faded.
“… hmm?”
“We’re having a baby.” “You damn human being.”
Airi grabbed Elbus by the collar.
At that moment, a cause and effect occurred in Elric’s mind.
Airi has a child.
A pregnant woman becomes very sensitive.
Elbus ran out, saying he couldn’t bear it, and eventually Airi came looking for him.
“Huh, are there all kinds of horses that can’t be interacted with like that…?” !”
As Elric complained loudly at Elbers’ atrocity, which made him click his tongue, Tyria’s eyes stung even more.
Elbers had a dazed look on his face.
On his face, joy, tears, blankness, and even embarrassment appeared.
This was the common reaction of a husband upon hearing the news of his wife’s pregnancy.
If there’s one problem, it’s that Airi is not an ordinary woman.
“Let’s talk again when we get home.”
Airi, who spoke, belatedly offered a courtesy to Elric and Tyria.
“There were a lot of sudden rudenesses. Congratulations on your child. Please be happy and don’t hang out with her husband often.”
She came like a storm and disappeared like a storm.
Now is the moment when all the guests have completely left.
“haha… .”
Elric smiled and looked at Tyria, feeling embarrassed.
Tyria added only one word.
“They say we are close friends and we do very similar things.”
I was running out of things to say.
*
A few weeks later, I received a letter from Elbers.
To roughly summarize, it was like that.
『I still can’t quite believe that I’m becoming a father. I feel embarrassed and also feel responsible.
I should try to be a good father.
Oh, and speaking of which.
If the child is a boy, then your daughter… 』
Boom!
Elric tore up the letter and threw it into the stove.
Just like that, the biggest event in Darlene’s childhood came to an end.
