Episode 129: Teletutos Elegiamania Mudo as a Father
When I finished the mock battle with Gunjag, the way the knightly kingdom's heavyweights looked at me changed again.
It's difficult to express accurately, but it seemed like he had high expectations for my future, and he seemed to have feelings that were close to seeing me as a rival.
I was wondering why I felt that way after losing the game, but I couldn't keep worrying about it.
After all, the King of Knights had raised his voice to the heavyweights.
"It's fine now. Everyone, stand down."
Hearing the words of the King of Knights, the dignitaries bowed and quickly began to leave the church.
I waited for them to leave, feeling a little worried about what they had determined about me in the audience so far.
Then, the only people left in the cathedral were me, the King of Knights, Princess Pulvera, and Familias.
"From now on, let's talk openly. Parvera and the Knight Family should stand up as well."
“Yes, Father.”
"Yes, King Knight."
Hearing those words from the King of Knights, Princess Palvera and Familis stood up and walked to either side of me.
At this point, I decided to brace myself, wondering what kind of story he was going to talk about.
And the spark was once again from the King of Knights.
“I feel bad for Prince Milimos, but let me talk about my family first. Pulvera.”
“Yes, Father.”
"Your feelings for Prince Milimos have been conveyed through the report from the Black Knight."
The feeling is that Princess Pulvera likes me.
Why is a black knight from a knightly kingdom reporting such a thing?
Unlike me, who was sweating from inner impatience, Princess Palvera remained resolute.
“Father. Milimos-kun—no, don’t you think Prince Milimos is an interesting person?”
"I don't understand why Pulvera is attracted to me. So, you haven't changed your mind, have you?"
"Yes. I adore Prince Milimos."
At the honest confession, a mixture of embarrassment and happiness ran through my back, making my body itch.
Her facial expression should be calm, but she may not be doing much since she's receiving small glares from her family members.
The conversation between the King of Knights and Princess Palvera continues, leaving us alone.
"You're going to marry Prince Milimos, right?"
"Yes, Father. Hopefully, I would like to do that."
"Since you're marrying from the Holy Knights Kingdom, I won't allow you to break up with me easily."
"It doesn't matter. Prince Milimos is my husband."
"If you're so determined, then there's no need for questions and answers. Please come and see your grandson's face."
"Yes, Father. I will show you the day you are born."
Once the two had finished talking, the King of Knights turned towards me.
"I have a question for Prince Milimos. Are you willing to marry Palvera?"
It's hard to answer when you say it so frankly, but since we were already in a relationship like lovers, I decided that this was the place to make up my mind.
"Yes. Please let me marry Princess Pulvera."
“Marriage alone is not enough.”
"Yes. Please make me promise to live together forever."
"I see. So, what do you like about Pulvera?"
I was a little nervous that he would ask me such a question, but I decided to honestly reveal my thoughts.
"It's fun to talk to Princess Pulvera, and most of all, she has a wonderful smile. It's the kind of smile that you never get tired of looking at, or that you want to see again."
"I see, you like smiling. If that's the case, I want you to try to keep Palbella smiling."
"Of course. Since we're getting married, I want to make the other person happy."
When I accepted in a manner close to a declaration, next to me――Princess Palvera looked down with a bright red face.
"It's, um, embarrassing to hear you say something like that..."
When Princess Pulvera covered her red face with her hand, the King of Knights smiled cheerfully.
"In this situation, I don't think it's necessary to tell you to be happy."
I didn't know how to respond, so I had no choice but to respond with a bitter smile.
After Princess Pulvera regains her composure, the conversation resumes.
"Prince Milimos. Are you aware that if you marry Palvera, there is a high possibility that the Empire will say something about it?"
"That's already true. The enemy country of the Empire is now related to the neighboring country of Nonette."
From the perspective of the Empire, the Nonette country would appear to be a camp of knightly nations, and it would also look like an enemy's blade approaching its throat.
In order to dispel that concern, it was easy to predict that the Empire would try to interfere with the Nonette country and ask for its reaction.
But I wasn't too worried.
"I will deal with the Empire well. At the very least, I promise not to do anything that would put Princess Palvera in danger."
``Even if it's only through words, hearing someone say that will lighten the weight on my heart.''
The King of Knights smiled slightly, and his expression quickly returned to that of a king.
"I heard what I needed to hear. And I once again command the Knight Family. Become the support of Pulvera."
"Ha! I have accepted the royal order!"
After seeing the family members saluting, the King of Knights turned his gaze to me again and then to Princess Pulvera.
"It's been a long journey from the center of the continent to here. Today and tomorrow, you can relax in the castle. Of course, you don't mind if we only use one room, right?"
At the very end, the King of Knights said some playful words to me, and Princess Pulvera and I, who had let our guard down, ended up blushing profusely.
