The world’s largest party hall that can accommodate 5,000 people.

As such, there were numerous nobles in the Labadian Empire.

Of course, considering the fact that the population of the Labadian Empire exceeds 500 million, the nobility of the empire is only 0.0001% of the total population.

“Still, the number of nobles has increased too much. Even Obama didn’t want more nobles than this. So it seems that he put a lot of thought into appointing you as a hereditary noble.”

“… … okay.”

“As you already know, the imperial family owns 30% of the Labadian Empire.”

“Yes, I heard from him that the imperial power of the Empire is more powerful than other countries.”

“Yes, in order to destroy the current imperial family, it is powerful enough to say that 7 to 80 percent of the 1,000 or more families in the empire must be integrated. however… … The equilibrium collapsed as a family that had been silent for decades acquired enormous economic and military power as if threatening the imperial family.”

Keynes could guess where the ‘one family’ he was talking about was.

“… … .”

“and… … It has also been confirmed that they come and go to the Speyone family. Well, I talked about this as a communication tool, so I won’t say it again, but honestly, it’s impossible to keep the Spey One family in check with my abilities. It must be the same for Regalus-niisama.”

Crown Prince of the Labadian Empire, Regalus E Labadian.

He was currently busy keeping the aristocrats in check.

But even the Spey One family, which exerts the most powerful influence in the imperial faction, is in check? without any evidence?

Even if the existence comparable to the mage tower lord is just an executive… … .

“There’s nothing good about messing with them right now.”

Information was sorely lacking.

In this situation, trying to inform the Emperor and Crown Prince about the Spey One family would only increase the enemy’s vigilance.

Ryard let out a small sigh and looked at Kayneth with a serious expression.

“For now, we’ll have no choice but to keep an eye on how the Spey One family will move.”

“… … .”

“And your achievement in reporting the fact that they are with the Speywon family is by no means light. To the extent that medals and victory are being discussed right now.”

In other words, Keynes reported her family’s crimes to her boss. country size… … No, a huge crime on a world scale.

As Ryard said, it could be seen that he had accomplished a feat that would not be strange even if medals and titles were mentioned.

“Keuheum, in the meantime, let’s ask for one more thing.”

Lyard looked around while clearing his throat.

Seeing this, Kaynez tilted his head.

“Yes, you can.”

Ryard opened his mouth in a low voice while checking his eyes to see if there were any ears around him.

“Afterwards, if you find anything suspicious or dangerous about the Spy One family, report it to me right away. Of course, you can’t recklessly touch the Spey One family, but you have to be at least prepared for that.”

At Lyard’s request to report the family’s suspicious behavior, Kayneth nodded with a grave expression. so willingly.

Is it because of that?

Ryard felt that the time spent contemplating whether or not to ask for a favor for several days had become so meaningless.

“you… … Aren’t you agreeing too easily?”

Laird, where Hertal smiles.

At that, Keynes shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter how much. instead… … Give the Speyone family to Sophia.”

“… … Yeah, I’ll try my hand at that part somehow. But the other brothers… … .”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter if I kill you.”

The death of the brothers who are so easily mentioned.

Laird gave him a slightly puzzled expression.

“… … Are you really going to be okay?”

“Of course, I hope to be punished if possible. But even if they die, I don’t think I’ll feel much emotion. Well, I never thought of them as family… … .”

“But Sophia… … .”

“Perhaps your sister is the same. In the first place, they didn’t even treat me and my sister as family, calling me trash and bugs. And my sister said that she was abused as a child by her birth mother, Countess Phyllis H. Spaywan.”

Ryard’s face contorted at the word ‘abuse’.

hahahaha, hoho, Phyllis is laughing and talking with the wives of other families.

Ryard glared at her and bit her lip. He hadn’t thought that Sophia had such a past.

“In the first place, I lived in the second annex building, so I lived for more than 10 years without even knowing the faces of my parents and siblings. I can’t give you a definitive answer as to what my sister thinks of them, but my family… … Only sister Sophia.”

Seeing Kayneth’s serious expression, Ryard closed his eyes and nodded once.

“… … Yes, I got your point. Anyway, once the case is over, I’ll try my best to make sure that the Speyone family belongs to Sophia.”

“Yes, please.”

Kayneth wanted it to end on Ryard’s line. That was the best result he could think of.

Kayneth, who had been exchanging a few words with Ryard, began to look for Elizabeth as the topic slowly came to an end.

“Hmm? Who were you looking for?”

“Yes, I was looking for Lady Elizabeth L. Rose, the eldest daughter of the Rose family.”

Ryard tilted his head at Kayneth’s answer.

“I heard that he broke off the engagement with the Rose family… … .”

“Yes, I do, but… … It was a unilateral decision made by the Spey One family. Unless Lady Elizabeth changes her mind, I don’t want to end my relationship with her in such a one-sided way.”

Soon after, Keynes looked around.

Lyard also glanced around.

‘If Lady Elizabeth’s heart doesn’t change… … is it. I don’t think that’s going to happen.’

Ryard was used to the young ladies’ gaze. Eyes full of favor and admiration that he had received since childhood.

And he was aware of the fact that he was more handsome than other people. However, even he has no choice but to acknowledge Kayneth’s appearance.

‘If you have both talent and good looks… … There’s nothing more to say.’

Currently, the eyes of the young ladies were focused on Kayneth, not Ryard.

At that, Ryard gave a small laugh while stroking Kayneth’s hair roughly.

“What, what is it?”

“No, it’s because it’s so admirable that you’re pursuing love rather than family gain.”

“… … At first, I wasn’t interested in noble families. Even if I am a commoner, if I can marry a wife who will be with me for the rest of my life, give birth to children, and live comfortably, I can be satisfied with that alone.”

Ryard was slightly surprised by Kayneth’s calm reply.

An unaristocratic way of thinking that seeks happiness even if demoted to the status of a commoner.

At that way of thinking, Ryard burst into laughter.

“Puha! Heh heh… … . you are a really funny guy however… … What to do with this? Unfortunately, you will be by my side for the rest of my life.”

Ryard looked at Kayneth with grim eyes while curling up his lips.

Kenneth’s face hardened at that remark.

“… … I will step down as head of household at the right time.”

“Nonsense! I’ll make you regret appearing in front of me for the rest of your life. And when this case is over, I need to talk to Regalus-nim so that I can promote you to the count.”

“… … .”

Keynes frowned at Lyard’s attempt to stop his retirement.

Soon, they exchanged glances as if staring at each other.

food.

I burst into laughter at the same time.

Chapter 71

71. Emperor’s birthday party (5)

“First of all, I am a fiancée… … No, I guess I should say I’m a fiancé now. Anyway, let’s go see her.”

Finding Elizabeth, Kayneth pointed her finger in one direction.

Then Ryard patted him on the shoulder.

“Yes, my sister-in-law should think about getting married soon. You’ll be 14 soon.”

“… … It’s not a matrimonial yet. More than that, Senior Rubelis seems to be a very reliable person. My sister also praised me for being a calm person. so… … .”

Keynes turned to face Elizabeth.

Ryard grabbed him by the shoulder.

“A little while ago, Count Speyone secretly mentioned the name of Lady Milien. It seems that he intends to marry me and her. so… … Please do me a favor. While investigating the Speiwon family this time, I also checked Lady Milien’s information… … .”

Hearing Lyard’s unusual voice, Keynes didn’t make eye contact with him.

And I smiled and closed my eyes.

“Aren’t you still a child? Just accept it.”

“What kind of child is that!? Besides, he’s the same age as me!”

Ryard got goosebumps at Milien’s extravagance.

Now only 15 years old Milien H Spay One. If she becomes the mistress of a family, surely the amount spent on luxury will increase enormously. Eventually, the family might go bankrupt… … .

“Are you thinking of pushing me into such a hell!”

“… … Everyone said that marriage is the gateway to hell. Anyway, the only thing in front of you is hell.”

“This child… … !”

Ryard glared at Kayneth as he gnashed his teeth.

The aristocrats of the aristocratic faction watched such a small quarrel from afar.

They pondered for a moment about the relationship between Kayneth and Lyard.

He had heard that Kayneth was close to Lyard, but he had never thought that they would be close enough to have a heart-to-heart talk like that.

“… … This probably won’t be as easy as I thought.”

“I never thought His Highness Lyard would make such an expression. That means that he has a close relationship with Viscount Ardennes. I think we should put the Viscount on hold for a while.”

“Yes, I’ll have to keep an eye on the situation a little longer.”

They stared at Kayneth and Lyard with slightly narrowed eyes.

And after a while, the nobles tilted their heads at the way Kayneth approached Elizabeth.

“Huh, I heard that the engagement between the Speywon family and the Rose family was definitely broken… … .”

“Yes, I heard that too. maybe… … I think it would be like having a conversation as a personal acquaintance.”

“Still, a man and a woman who were engaged to have a conversation… … .”

“Both of them are still too young to be called man and woman. Besides, it is said that the time the two met is not long, so there will be no special feelings. And there’s no way that Viscount Arden would disobey the Spey One family’s decision.”

Blood relationship with the Ardennes family. No, to be precise, some of the head of the family who wanted a relationship with the Spaywon family shook their heads excitedly at the thought of ‘no way’ while looking at Elizabeth and Keynes.

but… … Ardeal moved his legs when he saw Kayneth who had finished talking to Ryard. He furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at Elizabeth and Kayneth.

And when the younger sister who saw the scene showed a slightly embarrassed expression, Ardeal’s mind became complicated for a moment.

“… … Erica, please wait with your mother for a moment.”

“ah… … . Yes, got it.”

At his sister’s answer, Ardeal approached Kayneth with a slightly angry face.

But at that moment, the young ladies blocked Ardeal’s path.

Ardeal, the successor of the Sephiroth family, was one of the most delicious prey for the young ladies who were pushed out of the succession rank.

Besides, Ardeal has no fiancee.

The young ladies actively approached him, thinking that they might be able to take the position of the marquis of Sepilod.

A party to celebrate the emperor’s birthday.

However, these large-scale parties and events turned into a place for young ladies and young children to find their future spouses.

and… … .

“long time no see. Princess Crantes.”

The first princess of Rosen G Krantes. She, too, enjoyed high popularity while being surrounded by numerous spirits.

She already had a fiancé of the royal family, but the position of the concubine was vacant.

But Rosen cut off their dash like a knife.

‘Stupid people.’

I didn’t feel anything like them at all.

As for hanging out with them… … .

‘I’d rather have a conversation with Keynes-kun.’

Dirty eyes wishing for something.

That made Rosen’s heart cold.

On the other hand, it was she who did not receive that feeling in Kayneth’s eyes.

‘… … I heard that he broke off the engagement with Lady Elizabeth. Do you still have a heart?’

She glanced at Kayneth, who had joined Elizabeth’s group.

And the person in question, Kayneth… … .

“Oh, then… … .”

She had to face a barrage of questions from the young ladies in a perplexed manner.

Even though he has the low-level title of Viscount, he is a hereditary noble holding a fiefdom. He even has an excellent appearance that makes him the main character of the party.

Since they are running a huge business called the Ardennes Company, the family’s economic power must also be strong.

For those reasons, Kayneth became an excellent groom, favored by many young ladies.

‘Besides, the Spey One family is behind Viscount Arden!’

‘It is said that the Ardennes Company is supported by the Speyone Company, so the growth rate will be many times faster than before. Certainly, the possibility of becoming one of the largest trading companies in the Labadian Empire… … !’

‘Economic power is also economic power, but by the time I graduated from the academy, I had reached the 5th circle… … .’

From noble mtl dot com

Despite their young age, the young ladies’ heads were spinning at high speed.

It must be because I have received a high level of private education from an early age.

Some snobbish thoughts must have run through the young ladies’ heads, but Keynes responded appropriately with a commercial smile.

“hahahahaha, that’s right. Oh, come to think of it, this time… … .”

Elizabeth, who was alienated in an instant.

Among the young ladies, she only opened her mouth. He hesitated even to make eye contact with Kayneth.

and… … .

snap!

“sorry. Unfortunately, I guess we’ll have to talk about that next time. I have an important conversation with Lady Elizabeth for a moment, so excuse me first.”

In spite of the voices of the young ladies, Kaynes grabbed Elizabeth’s hand and quickly ran towards the terrace.
