Chapter 85: Training and Education

I didnt feel alive until you reported that this was all a military exercise.

Im really sorry I troubled you with the matter of Tsubaki.

So please forgive me! I promise that I will keep both the Duke and the Frontier Counts Households in high consideration.

Half crying, the Prime Minister brought us this letter.

A great number of nobles already fled the imperial capital, so the palace was extremely busy with remedial measures.

Grandson-in-law-dono, remember that sometimes you have to warn them in order for them not to misunderstand you. Youll learn, sooner or later, how to add degrees to your warning.

Its easy in case they simply obey, you just take advantage of that.

In case they dont obey, you have to pressure them to, and this is the difficult part.

Understood.

Haha, it would be good for you to learn this while Im still alive. Anyway, Ill be alive for a little longer.

Im also here, you know, you can rely on me too.

Frontier Count, master.thank you.

Im still inexperienced when it comes to such tactics.

Ill let these two teach me.what should I do in this situation.

We finished our training and decided to return to our territories; when word of this came out, we were told to hurry up and leave.

We dont need tostimulatethem any further. If we stay too long his Majesty might really start preparing to fight back. Its best to keep it moderate.

I agree. Itll be troublesome if we cant see through the whole situation.

They grinned broadly as I told them farewell, then I returned to my domain.

Those two.Its a huge relief theyre on my side.

I wanted to visit my foster father too since I havent seen him in a long time, but Ill have to postpone it.

Ill make sure to write him a letter.

The return trip was going smoothly until Albert screwed up.

Your Excellency, he peeked on Tasel!

Oi, restrain Media or were gonna die!

Where are the medial soldiers?

..What the heck happened!?

According to the beat up Albert, this is what happened.

After giving birth, Tasel was back to work, but because her breast milk was coming out, she entered a tent to wipe it dry.

Then Albert came and, seeing Tasels back figure, thought thathewas a man. Therefore, Albert called out tohim.

Tasel turned around, Albert was astonished, a loud scream could be heard, breast milk flew around

Such a chaotic scene was unfolding right when Media showed up.

Thats when Albert and Medias physical talk started.

Hisface red, Tasel was glaring at Albert.

Hisoutward appearance was clearly a man.

I couldnt withstand this dangerous atmosphere where a blushing man stared at another man.

I understand.This was an accident, so let it go.

Media flared up at my half random words.

If thats the case, your Excellency, what would you do if Albert peeked on Lady Beatrice by mistake?

Hahaha, obviously, I would kill him. Without any doubt.

Albert..Dont look at me like that

Its a joke. I wouldnt blame him if it was an accident.

Albert, Im sorryDont cry

You should give him a break too, Media.

On the contrary, you, Tasel, should feel happy that you were mistaken for a man. And Media too, you should cheer up. Albert is not a peeping tom, I can guarantee you that.

If thats what your Excellency says, I understand.

.Yes, your Excellency.

Your ExcellencyDo you trust me?

Tears gathered in the corners of Alberts eyes.

Hes such a fool.

Aint that obvious? You are not a coward man. And, above all, you are not interested in a mothers milk, am I right? Since you enjoyed sniffing thatjunkysisters chest odor, I bet you like them really small, like nonexistent, right?

Lord Albert!

Such a sinful taste.

Wha!? Your Excellency, that was me checking for poison.

Everyone started to laugh and the matter settled peacefully.

.Or so it should have been.

Albert-sama..do you really have such preferences?

MeMeril!? Why are you here.?

Because of his wifes sudden appearance, Alberts hellish experience continued to unfold.

Such fun events kept me entertained as we arrived to my capital city.

Albert and Meril made peace and now were flirting with each other; it was a little annoying, but I endured it.

I would meet Bea soon as well.

Smiling, I entered my mansion and saw Toto flying towards me to sit on my shoulder.

(Dad, welcome back!)

Im home, Toto. Did anything change while I was away?

I asked her as I brushed her hair.

Brushing her hair was already a reflex for me now. It comes naturally.

(Yes! Mom is educating Tsubaki!)

..Its a relief that Bea is handling this.

(Mom is in very high spirits!)

I see.

(Tsubakis already at the second jar of maidens secret medicine, so shes becoming a good child!)

Maybe I should really ask.

What is a..maidens secret medicine?

Toto answered, her face covered in smiles.

(If you scoop it with a special spoon, it will flow into your mouth! Its impossible to avoid and you cant spit it out either. Its a cursgood luck charm!)

..Just now, did she almost say curse?

(Uncle Sonia tasted it and said that it exceeded Moms formerobento1. He was so deeply moved emotionally that he fell asleep!)

Toto, he fainted..And also, he wasnt moved at all, you know?

Thanks god that wasnt me.

I thought, and entered my office.
