Chapter 67: Reward for the Greatest War Merits

Ladies! Gentlemen! Thanks for gathering here!

In one corner of the now silent fortress, that was usually used as training ground, gathered all the soldiers occupying a leadership position in the Dukes Army.

The Frontier Counts Army was taking care of the postwar matters and affairs.

Since weve done a forced march and have fought a series of battles, we were exempted from that, so we could just take it easy for the time being, however

In the last battle, the person who accomplished the greatest war merits is.Commander Media.

*Rustle*

Everyone started to whisper.

What she wants is..a husband, wholl be adopted into her family.

No one said anything..It was more like no one wanted to say anything.

Media was the Commander of the Maids Unit and a first-class maid herself.

Moreover, she was actually very sweet.

She had a younger sister type of loveliness attached to her. You could say that she was a beautiful young woman with light brown, soft and curly hair.

She looked great on the outside..On the outside, that is.

Actually, her personality was great too.

She is a very helpful person, so her subordinates adore her.But only as a Commander.

Even though shes a noble, she wouldnt get angry if someone was rude or made a mistake or something.

She has a lot of fans because of her soft way of punishing the others.But only as a Commander.

Thats right, as a Commander shes very loved and appreciated.

Your Excellency, who will you sacrifice..urm, send as adopted husband into her family?

Albert was wearing a still composed smile.

You littleOnly because youre already marriedbecause you have no connection to this, that you look so happy

I will decide that nowListen guys, you can become nobles, you know? A viscount. Is anyone who wants to become one?

Everyone looked downward, avoiding eye contact..

You fools, what is it that doesnt please you? Shes a beautiful girl and has a pleasant nature. Furthermore, she comes from a viscounts family, you know? Isnt it great? Someone must marry her and be adopted into her family.

Alberts shoulders were shaking lightly.

Your Excellency, as I feared, maybe its because ofthat..

Im sure it is. Everyone knows after all.

And yet, I wanted to entrust this to someone who didnt know about her.

Medias sole defect.If only it wasnt forthat, she wouldve been perfect.

Your Excellency.I want to announce my candidacy.

The sound of people talking all at once could be heard.

Who, who is that? In the front.Come to the front!

Everyone present got confused.

Who is this brave man?

Thank youThank you

This is greatThanks god it wasnt me.

Dont cry, you idiots.

And so, he came to the front.

He was an unpolished man with a medium build and short hair. His exterior appearance was exactly that of a military mans.

He looked like he was in his mid- 20s.Yes, this was not bad at all.

I am Tasel, a former adventurer, your Excellency.

His low voice sounded really cool.

It seems hes the type of guy that Media would be pleased withYet, a guy like this was still around?

I see. So youre Tasel.You want to become Medias husband, right?

At that point I was fine with anyone.

Since I couldnt possibly think that someone would willingly marry Media and get adopted into her family otherwise.

Everyone was feeling the same. No one objected.

Yes. Its just thatthere is a problem. It would be great if your Excellency could

This is such a trivial matter.

If hes willing to become Medias husband, then I would forgive him for almost anything.

But if its just too much.Even so, Id still forgive it.

Tell me what is it? Its my dear subordinates wish. I will do everything I can to help you.

Albert looked the other way, as he started to tremble again.

Yeah, I am trying to force this dear subordinate of mine into accepting this marriage..So what?.Youre laughing too much, you cur.

And so, with a grave expression on his face, Tasel squeezed out his wish and informed us.

The truth is..I am a woman.

This corner of the fortress fell silent again.

The sound of the opening gates could be heard from far away. It felt awfully loud.

Tasel.

Helooked like about to start crying.

.Yes, your Excellency.

I slowly placed my hand onhis.on Tasels shoulder.

Dont lie to us! Ill use observation magic, so try and say that again.

I am a woman! But even so, even so, I love Miss Media very much.

Yeah,shes undoubtedly a woman.This Tasel.

Tasel had a tragic expression ashestarted crying.

Tasel.So what about it?

Tasel, theres no actual problem.

My voice and Alberts voice overlapped.

Media is a man. Congratulations! You will definitely get married!

Tasel burst into tears of happinessThe guys burst into tears of relief, since they were saved now.

Albert and I, for some reason, burst into tears too.

I wiped my tears away as I looked up at the sky.

The blue sky was blessing themIt was blessing all of us.

However, somewhere deep inside me, these words were always present.

Where the hell is my army headed towards?..
