Chapter 83: Elevation to Peerage
The sky is clear without a single cloud
The wind gently waves the flag
The sun's rays are warm
In the largest square in the capital, a red carpet is laid
And there I kneel
All around me, the place is packed with people
But no one speaks out
All eyes are on me
"Shiro."
The king speaks out
"Ha!"
"Your work for the kingdom is great."
“I am grateful for your words!”
All movements and statements are rehearsed.
Let's assume that there will be no mistakes because we practiced it over and over again, millimeter by millimeter!
"This is a ceremony that would normally take place in the audience chamber. But as a man of commoner origins, all commoners have the right to see your peerage."
"........."
"People of the kingdom! Behold! Adventurer Shiro will become a noble from now on!"
That means
"Even a commoner can become a noble with the right results."
This is the moment the king guaranteed
“But Shiro, you don’t have a family name. I can think of one, but do you have one in mind?"
I have thought about it.
If I were to take a family name.
If I were to take a family name.
Maybe he would get angry.
Nevertheless
"I would like my family name is..."
I wasn't sure if I could call him a friend.
"I would like to call myself Edgeworth."
And so I went from being a commoner to being a noble in this country.
----------
"Well, it seems that 1,200 years ago, all of today's nobles were commoners!"
King, return my resolve!
I'm so tired after the ceremony.
Today, Wince and I are going to sleep in the royal castle.
“In the first place, Sermus’ family line is also commoners, then they became knights, and then nobles…”
Huh? It's not so special, is it?
"Not really, Shiro-san."
Wince answers while filling the cup
"It's possible for a commoner to become a noble, but there has to be a cushion of knights, soldiers, military officers, and civil servants."
“Right, today you have gone from being a commoner to suddenly being a noble."
That's right!
"I have made up my mind to become a noble, you know?"
"Umu! Good resolve."
"It's not good! In the meeting, I was supposed to be a baron!"
"What? You're not happy with your current title?"
No, I'm not!
"Why am I a Count!"
"Eh?"
Wince freezes
“Because that guy Sermus is a Count! If you're below in rank, you can't talk casually, you know?”
That's not the problem
The moment the gazes of the nobles, who were looking at him on a higher plane than the commoners, changed to murderous intent.
"Are you scared to be assassinated by nobles now? I heard that you have antidote magic?"
That's not the point.
I was too scared of the nobles who spoke to me with a smile after the ceremony was over
While singing praises with a big smile and voice
Their eyes weren't smiling
"That's why everyone called out to me..."
"What do you mean, Wince?"
"I received a s*xual invitation in a roundabout way. I clearly declined."
……Should I kill them? Those bastards.
"At any rate, it must have been a thrill to the nobles."
"It's the worst thrill for me!"
"Which brings us to our next problem."
"What are you going to do now!"
I'm tired of it!
"If you are a noble, you must have a companion."
"I have Wince."
Let's be clear about that.
Wince is the only woman I need.
Mentally and emotionally.
"A-auu..."
Wince's face was bright red.
"Yes, that's right! Then you'll have to make that clear!"
"What do you mean?"
“Hold a wedding in your territory! It's a big deal! You'll have to invite me, too, okay?"
"M-marriage, huh."
We've been together this long, but we've never done that.
“Incidentally, there is one additional problem, you know?”
"What is it?"
“You'll need a concubine. You've been with Sermus, you know why."
That's absurd.
"I would like to say, but..."
"Yeah?"
"I heard that Andrei, Sermus, Rumseil, Wince, and Gotton have an idea about a concubine."
Who the hell would that be?
Do I know someone?
Don't tell me it was a lizardman female.
