Chapter 166: To Press for an Answer
This is an unusual situation.
Can someone please help me?
I don't care if it's Giran.
I hope someone can help me.
I really hope so!
----------
It all started so suddenly.
When I returned to the royal capital, Mother and the others had already returned to Edgeworth Territory.
I have no choice but to get on the locomotive for transporting goods and go home.
It took half a day to get back, and when I got out of the locomotive
"Welcome home, Edgeworth-sama!"
There was a girl
“……Hmm?”
"Is something wrong?"
That's what I want to ask.
“Um, Harper-san?”
"Yes ♪ I'm sorry I didn't give my name the other day. My name is Harper El Istraze."
No, you've been busy with a lot of things, so it can't be helped, so don't worry about it
Yeah, before that.
"Why are you here?"
This is Edgeworth territory, you know?
“I came here immediately to find out about my future husband!”
Hhhhhmmmmmmm??
----------------
Crash*! There's a loud crash
The vase suddenly broke
"Whoa!"
"Corus! Are you okay?"
I didn't even touch it, but it suddenly broke
"Yeah, it's okay mom. Why did it break?"
"Isn't this the vase Corus made when you were a child?"
"Maybe it's underbaked."
"Did something happen, I wonder?"
"For example?"
“Like a love rival for Corus appeared?”
"No, no! Edgeworth is too scared to approach a normal woman!"
-----------------
“…I'm here to ask for your hand in marriage, Shisu-sama!”
"That's good~"
Mother easily gives permission
"It's my decision!"
"Eh, you don't like Harper-chan?"
"I-Is that so?"
Stop it! Don't get teary-eyed!
I know it's an act, but it's so realistic it hurts my heart
"It's fine, it's fine. She came to you on her own. If you are courted, take as many women as you can. While you're young, have all the s*x you want."
"I don't want to be that lustful!"
"Ahahahaha! You are just like Shiro in that way."
The air is relaxed.
"Now"
But then, the air suddenly changed by Mother's words.
"Little girl. What's your aim?"
"Huh? Ah! Um, uh?"
Harper-san is completely confused.
There's no fake crying from just now
The childlike innocence was gone.
"You've shown your true colors, little girl...... There's a technique to sway the other party by making a big difference in the tension like this! Did you learn it?"
"...I did."
I was surprised
Mother's murderous intent was released to an extent that I had never seen before.
"So, do you really like Shisu?"
"Yes! I'm serious!"
“Then I'll tell you the conditions of marriage. If you don't fulfill all of them, I won't allow you to marry him."
"Yes!"
1. Marriage is absolute, uxorilocal marriage is not allowed.
2. If you have to choose between the Istraze family and the Edgeworth family, give priority to the Edgeworth family.
3. No interference by the Edgeworth family from the Istraze family is allowed.
4. All children born shall be of the Edgeworth lineage.
5. The Edgeworth family will not give preferential treatment to the Istraze family in order to be fair and impartial to other nobles.
6. The Istraze family must not borrow the authority of the Edgeworth family.
7. Make a name for yourself as an adventurer, as someone worthy of the Edgeworth family.
That's absurd!
"For the time being, if you've reached adventurer rank 10, I'll allow the 7th one."
"Yes! I will try my best!"
Not yes!
“It's not something you should be forcing on a 10 year old girl, Mother! You're practically asking Harper-san to leave the Istraze family!”
"What? You want to get married after all, Shisu?"
That's not what I meant!
"Then here's an additional condition. Go register as an adventurer with Shisu."
“Yes? ……Yes!”
I got dragged into it.
"It's the first joint work of a married couple."
"I understand!"
"Understand the situation, Harper-san!"
"It's okay, Shisu-sama!"
"What!"
"Me! I can use magic now!"
