Chapter 1238 - Preparing for the Partic.i.p.ation in the Wedding Ceremony ⑤
I arrived at our target cafe and took a seat. As it’s a high-cla.s.s cafe in the Central Area of the city, the interior of the cafe has a luxurious, yet relaxed atmosphere.
Hina-chan immediately ordered a fruit parfait, while Aoi-chan and I ordered a cake set.
[……Hina-chan, can you even eat all that?]
[Yes! Totally easy!]
The parfait seemed quite large when I personally looked at it, but Hina-chan said that she could easily eat all of the parfait with a happy smile on her face.
Aoi-chan took a bite of the cake and after taking a sip of her tea, she spoke.
[Seigi-kun’s wedding ceremony huh…… I wonder how many attendees will come?]
[Hmmm, I guess a lot of n.o.bles will come huh? Ryze-san would definitely be there because it’s Cattleya-san’s wedding, and in that case, there will be quite a lot of people who would want to make connections with Ryze-san.]
This may have been the wedding ceremony of a viscount, but it was also the wedding ceremony of a royal…… So the scale of this wedding would be quite reasonable. That being the case, there will be many people who get invited, and I think it will be important for Mitsunaga-kun, who has become a n.o.ble, to make connections.
[I wonder if any big names will attend?]
[……Kaito-senpai, are you seriously saying that?]
[……For the n.o.bles, wouldn’t Kaito-san be the biggest name going there?]
They threw out a very, very sharp tsukkomi. No, it seemed that word of me certainly has spread quite a bit among the n.o.bility. Both because of the information around me, and a certain dangerous G.o.d who had apparently been threatening people since the Six Kings Festival……
After I finished shopping and went home, I checked the letter that Anima had delivered to my room.
[……Unnn? This is……?]
However, I was a little surprised to receive a letter from a rather unusual recipient. Thereupon, I opened the letter and read the contents…… and was surprised again.
In the letter, I don’t know where they had heard about it, but they mentioned Mitsunaga-kun’s wedding, and wrote how “if it’s possible, they would like to attend the wedding themselves”.
This is an unexpected turn of events, b- but what should I do about this? Would they allow additional attendees at this time? H- Hmmm…… I guess I’ll send a letter to Mitsunaga-kun and ask him about this……
In a town somewhat far from Symphonia Kingdom’s royal capital, at the residence of a viscount who was the lord of the town, the Family Head, Mitsunaga Seigi, was holding a letter in his hand, seemingly thinking about something.
Thereupon, Cattleya, Seigi’s fiancee, entered the room.
[Seigi, the list of items we’ll be using for the ceremony…… Is something the matter?]
[Ahh, Cathy. Actually, I just received a letter from Miyama-san…… asking if he could bring one companion with him……]
[Let’s agree! That’s the best we could ask for!!!]
[Whoa, w- what’s with the enthusiasm?]
As soon as she heard Seigi’s words, Cattleya reacted quite vigorously. To the astonished Seigi, Cattleya told him with an extremely serious expression on her face.
[Listen, Seigi….. or rather, our family has only been n.o.bility for a short period of time. Because of my marriage to Seigi, you were given a peerage that isn’t just in-name, which is what is supposed to be given to emigrants, but also a fiefdom, and you had established a viscountcy.]
[U- Unnn.]
[However, when compared to other n.o.bles whose names held history, there were some areas that we’d inevitably end up being looked down upon. So, if it’s possible, I wanted us to form some connections at this wedding……]
After pausing there, Cattleya checked the contents of the letter in Seigi’s hand and continued.
[If it’s Miyama-sama’s companion, it’s quite possible that they’re someone famous. For example, it would be great if they are among the Six Kings or the Supreme G.o.ds. If these people attended the wedding, it would be a great foil for us, and there will be more n.o.bles who would want to a.s.sociate with our family.]
[I see……]
[This builds a friendly relationship with Miyama-sama as well as possibly providing a foil for the future, so accepting it would only benefit our family. Accommodating one more person doesn’t take that much labor.]
[Fumu, I also had no intention of neglecting Miyama-san’s request…… so I should just reply that it would be okay for him to bring them?]
[Yes…… Other than that…… it would be about who they would bring huh. It would be great if it would at least be someone among the Six Kings’ executives, but it is entirely up to Miyama-sama.]
Anyway, Kaito’s request to bring one companion wasn’t a problem in itself. Seigi wrote a quick reply letter and asked a servant to send it to him.
[……Well, putting aside Miyama-san’s matter for later, you were talking about the list of items for the ceremony?]
[Yes, there are few parts I would like to discuss with you. First, the catering……]
Three years after arriving in another world and two years after becoming a n.o.ble, Seigi, who had grown far more than before, was discussing the ceremony with a somewhat calm expression on his face as he looked at the list he received from Cattleya.
