Chapter 5: As a Ruler B - Bethrotal

Author Note: Souma is likely the type that won’t cross the line unless hegets kicked flying.(In regards to female relationships)

_______________________________________________________________________

But…. to make Aisha the 2nd QueenConsort, you say.

「Wouldthat be a reward to you, Wodan?」(Souma)

「As afather, I honestly feel complicated…… But since she also seems to desire thatas well, the desire to grant her wish is also parental love. Also, at this periodin time where the people of the G.o.d-Protected Forest finally started to facethe world outside, I believe it will hold a huge significance for the chief’s daughterto marry into royalty. Not just the bond between the G.o.d-Protected Forest androyalty, it would also become the symbol of the bond between Humans and DarkElves.」(Wodan)

Not just for the sake of hisdaughter, but also for political considerations, I see. For our side as well,if we could strengthen the ties with the G.o.d-Protected Forest, I would be ableto include the elite archers from the Dark Elves that had shown their prowess inthe battle at the outskirts of Randell……and, well even if we left this benefitaside……

Aisha is cute. If you asked mewhether or not I wanted to marry her, the answer will be “I would like to”.Though I do feel that her loyalty to me is too much, but this means that hergood will is also conveyed straight to me (although I feel as though I amfeeding her). Her ability as a queen is doubtful, but she has enough valor tocompensate for that. She is a girl that can give my heart a relief if she couldstay by my side as my wife.

But, you know…… When I turnedback at the throne, I could see Liscia who was standing next to me. Even for myrelationship with Liscia, until now, I have been dodging the issue of her beingmy fiancée (temporary). During the war with Amidonia last time, I revised mythinking after I realized that I was conducting myself like a king when I wasconversing with Carla. When I realized that I had already reached the point ofno return, I decided to stop brushing off the matter of my relationship withLiscia.

Nonetheless, I am still a littleconflicted in regards to having multiple wives. Though Marcus, Liscia andJuna-san, had repeatedly said that this is normal, for someone who is strongly influencedby the ethics of modern j.a.pan, I can’t easily accept it…… Ah, it’s not like Iam thinking about something arrogant like loving multiple women is insincere orsomething like that. Giving an immediate reply at this place would only make mefeel bad towards Liscia. It’s like a man who is going to two-timing after all.

As I was thinking about that,Liscia looked at me. Then, seeing that I was trying not to show how fl.u.s.tered Iwas, Liscia said as if slightly astonished.

「Pleasemake sure you properly take Aisha as your wife, got it?」(Liscia)

「Yousay properly……Are you fine with it, Liscia? 」(Souma)

「Idon’t have any right to forbid it, but didn’t I already say that if it’s Aishaand the rest, then I am fine with it? Or rather, it will become moretroublesome if you don’t marry them after all.」(Liscia)

「Troublesome?」(Souma)

「Souma,you are a king, you know. At any rate, from now on, there will be a situationwhere you have to marry the daughters of n.o.bles or the princesses of othercountries. For the sake of that situation, I wish to fill the higher ranking consortswith people who we can trust.」

Liscia, who emphasized thepractical side of this arrangement, gave out a sigh, and looked at me who was stillhesitating.

「Eventhough Souma can make firm decisions that control the fate of the country, butwhen it comes to female relationships, you are so indecisive, aren’t you?」(Liscia)

「Ugu……」(Souma)

「Goodgrief…. Aisha!」(Liscia)

「Y,Yes!」(Aisha)

Being called out suddenly, diagonallyat my back in her guard position, Aisha, who was keep on edge and watching the eventto see how it progressed, jumped with a startle. Liscia pointed her finger ather with a snap.

「I donot plan on handing over the position of the First Queen Consort. Is being the SecondQueen Consort fine for you? If you are fine with it, I won’t say anything orrather, I will welcome you.」(Liscia)

「Y…Yes!If I can be at the side of his Majesty!」(Aisha)

Liscia nodded at Aisha’s replyand then spoke to me while looking straight into my eyes.

「Ihave set the table. That’s why…. Do it…. properly.」(Liscia)

「……Gotit.」(Souma)

I wonder why. At this time, Ifeel like I have already seen the power balance of the future. Liscia hasalready shown this much “Woman’s Spirit”…. So, as expected, I can’t show anymore of my unsightliness. I walked towards Aisha and stopped near her. Thatstrong Aisha was now showing a uneasy expression. Ah… seriously, don’t makesuch a face.

「Aisha.」(Souma)

「Y,Yes!」(Aisha)

「So……would you become my bride?」(Souma)

「U!Yes! With pleasure!」(Aisha)

I swallowed the retort of 「Isthis a bar?」[1]. While I was feeling like my face was burning, I turnedto face Wodan and spoke to him, who was standing there smiling while leakingout his complicated feelings as a father. I spoke not in a tone of a King, but assomeone who was addressing a person above him.

「….Sothe situation has reached this point. I shall come forth to give my officialgreeting. Father-in-law.」(Souma)

「….Ishall be waiting. Son-in-law.」(Wodan)

Thus, Aisha became my secondfiancee.

But, now that it has turned outthis way, what should I do with the 『Dame of the East Wind』t.i.tle. As expected, I don’t think I can make the Queen act like an exclusive SP[2].When I mentioned this to Aisha,

「Leaveit to me, your Majesty! Even when I have became your Majesty’s wife, I shallprotect your Majesty’s life!」(Aisha)

Was what she said with afull-faced smile, so we decided to leave it as it is…… Well, I guess I can justappoint some subordinates under her later. Now that the Second Queen Consortcandidacy had been decided, Marcus made a relieved expression as one of his worrieshad finally decreased (he had been worrying about the danger of the currentlylow number of members of Royalty due to the previous succession struggle, hehas been saying 「Increase the number of the wives, make children」 atevery opportunity), and although it ended up in the form of having new worriesdropping in, I could only show my condolences.

Towards this situation we werein, Juna-san showed a slightly lonesome smile.

　◇　◇　◇

Although I was met with variousdifficulties, Wodan’s reward session ended, and finally it was Juna-san’s turn.

As I was speaking words of grat.i.tude,I asked her, 「Do you have anything you wish for?」….Well, even if I didn’t ask her, I already knew her answer. Most likely, shewould make a pet.i.tion that she wished to hand over all of her merits to Excel.This time, she moved not as a Lorelei, but as a member of the Navy.

「YourMajesty, my merit……」(Juna)

「May Ispeak a few words?」(Excel)

Excel began to speak and interruptedJuna’s words.

「Pleaseforgive me for my sudden impoliteness. However, please grant me the permissionto speak.」(Excel)

「……Granted.」(Souma)

「Thankyou very much.」(Excel)

Excel bowed and slowly began to speak.

「AsYour Majesty should know, Juna Doma is my granddaughter. But Juna’s father, whois my son, had married into the merchant family of Doma, which conductsbusiness in our Lagoon City. In other words, Juna Doma was born as a commoner.Though through her military service, she is working under me, she doesn’t haveany connections to a “n.o.ble family’s” circ.u.mstances.」(Excel)

「… Whatdo you wish to say?」(Souma)

Although I asked that, Excelinstead faced Juna-san and said to her,

「Althoughyou might have planned to use your merits for my sake, that is not necessary.」(Excel)

「EsteemedGrandmother[3]!?However, 」(Juna)

Juna tried to argue vehemently, soExcel silently shook her head

「Itis fine. You are a person who does not have connections with the Vargas family.It is not good to use your merits for someone you have not met before. Please useit for your own sake.」(Excel)

「EsteemedGrandmother!?」(Juna)

「I cannotsacrifice the happiness of my granddaughter for the sake of my son-in-law and myother granddaughter. It is fine, so you do not need to worry about us. You shouldgo ahead and have your wish granted.」

Having Excel looking at her with suchgentle eyes, Juna cast her eyes downward, she seemed to be conflicted for amoment. But, soon after, she opened her eyes, took a step forward and kneeled.[4]

「YourMajesty. I have a request.」(Juna)

「……Whatis it?」(Souma)

「Ifpossible, I also……wish to stay and sing by Your Majesty’s side from now on.」(Juna)

This means…. no need to guess, totake Juna-san…. as my wife as well.

「YourMajesty, in Juna Doma-dono’s case, we can accept her as a Royal Consort. If youwish to receive her as a Queen Consort, then it is necessary for her to beadopted at some point by a n.o.ble House of Knight rank or higher.」(Marcus)

Markus said that with a happyexpression. Perhaps because the fact that the number of my wives were increasingwas just as he desired. When I looked at Liscia, she gave a nod as if saying, 「Agree」.But….

「I amsorry. I cannot do so……」(Souma)

I rejected it clearly. Lisciaopened her eyes wide at my words, while Excel looked at me with imploring eyesas if asking「Why in the world……」. Juna-sanwas looking downward, so I couldn’t see her expression. A gloomy atmospherestarted to envelop the room, but…… No no no, please listen to the end.

「……Forthe time being…… It’s not possible. Juna-san is the 『PrimaLorelei』 of 『Project Lorelei』, the Musical Program Broadcast plan that uses theRoyal Broadcast Orb, you know. If we try to announce the engagement of thefamous Juna-san then, a revolt will happen in the capital.」

And that will not be on a joking leveleither. It was still fresh in my memory that there was a request from theNational a.s.sembly to 『Put Juna-san more often on the Royal Broadcast』. Anidol, who was revealed to have a lover, had her blog blazed, this was somethingthat happened quite often in the previous world, but since there isn’t any blogthat is going to burn in this world, it’s going to be either the『City』or the『Castle』, Iguess. Burning the country with flames of jealousy is not something I can laughat. So,

「Wouldyou be willing to wait for a while longer?」(Souma)

「!」(Juna)

Towards Juna-san who raised herhead, I spoke these words while having an awkward feeling,

「Rightnow, I still need the ability of Juna-san as a 『Lorelei』.That’s why I wish for you to stay as the 「Citizen’s Juna-san」 fornow. After we gather even more Loreleis and raise them into talents that can succeedthe path, then I shall certainly go and receive you.」(Souma)

「……Ishall be waiting for that day. Your Majesty」(Juna)

Juna-san said this and revealed thesmile of a young maiden.
