Chapter 37: The Dukes visit, and the Personal Request.

Lime-san comes and announce the arrival of visitors, shortly, the duke and Sue arrived to the terrace from the garden.

Ya, congratulations on moving in. Take care for us from now on neighbors

The duke laughs cheerfully. Even though he is saying neighbor we live in the outer ward, and he lives in the inner district, it is pretty far away. Well, its indeed closer when you compare the distance between the Capital and Leaflet.

Long time no see, Sue

Good day, Yumina-neesama

Yumina greets Sue. Oh right, those two are cousins. When I see the two of them lined up next to each others, same blonde hair, they really resemble each other, as expected. Though their personalities quite different.

When I learned of the engagement between Yumina-neesama and Touya. I was really astonished

I am the most surprised you know??

I cant give up here. I still cant comprehend this yet. As the two of them sit at the table on the terrace, Lime-san comes with tea for both. Truly first class butler.

I was planning on a marriage between Touya-dono and Sue. But you beat me to it. Yumina and elder brother totally beat me

You were thinking suck a thing, Father? Well, if its Touya then I would be very pleased. Being together would be so much fun

Oh, I see. Then, will you also accept Sue along with Yumina, Touya-dono?

Okay, that enough. Please dont get carried away, mou

Although the Duke may be joking, the sparkle in Sues eyes when she looks at me is troubling. Id like to avoid making things any more confusing.

Well, shall I withdraw for today. But with that I have one favor to ask you today.

What do you mean by for today? Ignoring my scornful stare the duke continues.

To tell you the truth, this time, we have decided to form an alliance with Misumido kingdom. I believe that we need to establish a location for conference between kings, but.

A country of beastkin, the king of the beasts who govern the kingdom to the south, Misumido. The fox tribe of beastkin, Olga and her sister Alma country. I see, so you want to conclude an alliance? What a relief.

For both king to talk, the fact is one of them most go to the other royal capital, which involve a certain risk. There is a chance of interference from an opposing party, also they may get attacked by demon beasts in the middle of their trip. And so

Touya-sans
