Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 134

 

Chapter 134: Discomfort 1

Tomorrow, I will announce to the people my intention to celebrate the coming of age of Shisu Edgeworth.

So you may relax in the royal castle today.

That's what I was told, and I decided to have a meal with the royal family.

“Why are there so many plates prepared?”

That's what I first wondered

Eating with

Me, Mother, His Majesty King Quies, Her Highness Queen Sylvie, Prince Giran

There were only five of us.

But there are dozens of plates prepared

"Hmph, are you Shisu?"

That was the first thing Prince Giran said to me.

"It's an honor to meet you. Prince Giran."

To be honest, I didn't really want to meet him.

But I wasn't a child to say such a thing out loud.

Social courtesies are important

"You seem to be a man of manners. It seems you've got your parents' blessings!"

"Giran. Stop it."

Ignoring His Majesty's voice, the Prince continued

“Do you know how much the Edgeworth family is causing trouble to other nobles?”

"Giran"

“The other nobles have done nothing to cause us trouble. If they shoulder our burden, wouldn't the other nobles will be recognized their accomplishments?"

"Ha! Are you saying that the ruler should pour blood and sweat for the sake of the people? The blood of royalty and nobility is not cheap. It is more annoying to sell it cheaply like you do and lower its value."

“Giran!

His Majesty yells

"Tch. I'll eat in my room. I can't eat with a lowly person."

"I'm surprised you didn't lose your temper, Shisu."

"Please don't stroke my head. His Majesty is watching."

It's really embarrassing, Mother

"It's good, it's good, you may be an adult, but you're still young. Let her pamper you while she still can."

"Look, the king has given his permission!"

Now she hugs me from behind.

"No, like I said... haa ...more than that, we are hated a lot."

"Yeah, I guess you could say Giran's values are royalistic."

"We don't think of ourselves as equals with the royal family."

"Even if Yukikaze-dono says that, it's true that the other nobles are dissatisfied."

And the nobles who are dissatisfied are nothing but fools who think they can make money by doing nothing.

"Noblesse Oblige..."

"What is that?"

"No, it's a word Mother taught me."

“I learned it from Shiro, though.”

Obligations of nobility

The higher the rank, the more duties, responsibilities, missions, and roles.

To what extent are the other nobles fulfilling their obligations?
