Chapter 143 – Episode 142. That Marriage Is Unacceptable (3)
I knew.
She knew very well that what Astrid was doing was mere grumpiness, childish whining, and that she was acting unmaturely.
Violet.
The second daughter of the Autria family.
If she had a blood relationship with her through her marriage, there was no way she would have a marriage that went beyond that.
At least that’s what she thought.
Emily, the daughter of Baijik, the lord of the Eastern Mage Tower, is too insidious.
That doesn’t mean that Yu Reid’s daughter, Akemilla… Sooner or later will have to have an in-depth conversation with her.
But she won’t let Ashley do her venom workshop until she dies of old age, so marriage is a must.
Then, coincidentally, quite coincidentally, every time I saw Ashley, her eyes dripped with honey —
“Oh, look at this sweat. Lord Ashley, straighten your back for a moment.”
“Um, what’s going on?”
Yeah, something like that.
If you wipe the sweat, why are you wiping the sweat from your chest instead of the sweat from your face?
Why is Ashley taking her top off again?
“This muscle… “
Besides, why was he fiddling with Ashley’s pectoral muscles instead of wiping his sweat?
“Very simply… “
【… I can’t see you because my eyes are cold.]
It was, indeed, a ferocious sight.
Even because of that appearance, Astrid could not readily tolerate the marriage.
【You can’t get married sooner than us.】
‘Yes, that’s absolutely impossible.’
“The academy is trying to make an excuse and leave.”
“Huh.”
Kreuz’s eyes widened at Leopold’s words.
He wanted to say something because he asked for a private meeting after a long time, but Leopold suddenly declared that he would leave the academy at the long-awaited meeting between father and son.
“Well, first of all, I want to hear the reason. Get out of the academy, yes. That’s it, even if it’s the second time. If you know why you want to do that, why not give permission or not?”
It’s something I can’t figure out why.
Kreuz nevertheless wanted to hear the reason from Leopold’s mouth.
“… Asti wants to marry her. I don’t even want to wait until her engagement, wouldn’t it be good for my father to get married quickly and produce offspring?”
“Produce posterity. Yes, it would be even better if we inherited the lineage. But wasn’t it you who said you would never marry?”
Even as he said that, Kreuz was inwardly delighted.
He said he would never get married, and his father said he didn’t have eyes for women, but now he seems to be missing himself even more!
Saying that she would leave the academy to get married, it made Kreuz wonder how Astrid could have melted Leopold this far.
“Well, there are no such things as absolutes.”
“It shouldn’t be. There is no absolute in this world. However, I would like to know more. As you know, isn’t it stipulated by imperial law that you must graduate from the academy in order to succeed to the throne in the imperial family?”
“That’s right, but.”
Leopold smiled brightly.
Is there anything in the world that can’t be done?
“If my father wants to, can’t he change the law as much as he wants? There’s no way the people of the empire would suffer because the crown prince didn’t come out of the academy, let alone no enemy country that could threaten Einhafen.”
“It’s a good excuse.”
“Rather than me graduating from the academy, wouldn’t it be better for the well-being of the country to make Astrid the Crown Princess sooner rather than later?”
“That too.”
It was not wrong.
Kreuz was not ignorant of Astrid either.
Rather, she knew better than Leopold.
More than Wolfgang, more than Ashley.
Perhaps more than the two combined, Astrid was an overwhelming force.
An unprecedented armed force that possesses both the blessings of divine martial arts and divine power.
He knows how to use the force in a timely manner, and since he has been on the battlefield since he was young, he has no fear and never backs down in front of the enemy.
If you think about how helpful it would be if Astrid was forced to attend the academy, the answer came out.
However, it was clear that on the day that Astrid and Leopold had different minds, it would not be a problem for the two families, but a great loss for Einthofen.
“Do it. As soon as the academy is restored, I’ll meet with my principal and set up a deal. And I will tell the legislative branch to order a review of that law as well.”
“Thank you, father.”
“But it’s really strange.”
“What are you talking about?”
Leopold was in a good mood.
He wanted to run right away and tell Astrid the news, no, to Uncle Wolfgang before that, but Creutz seemed to still have something to say.
“I don’t know what the hell happened, but it’s been less than a year since I entered the academy… I don’t know how you two got along so well in the meantime. No, come to think of it, I’m the crown prince.”
“Yes, Father.”
“Astri… No, did you already reach an agreement with Lady Mitterien? I mean marriage.”
“Yes, of course it was agreed.”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad. If not, I got it go out Bring the Lady of Mitterien and tell her.”
“All right.”
Leopold was finally able to leave the tent alone.
To be honest, leaving the academy didn’t bother me much.
Leopold’s logic was enough to convince Kreuz, so there was no problem.
“Astri… Huh?”
Leopold was able to find Astrid easily.
Astrid’s back, sitting on top of her restoration materials and staring at something, was not easily noticeable, so Leopold stepped up behind her and put her hand on her head.
“Ah, Your Highness. You are here.”
“What are you looking at so intently?”
Her silver hair, glistening in the afternoon sunlight, was indeed beautiful.
The snow that was piled up in the field, the silver glittering in the direct sunlight like now was shining more clearly and nobly than when it was shining in the sunlight shining through those eyes, and Astrid’s beauty, which could be said to be the best of the empire, was shining even more.
“Because they keep making eye contact.”
It wasn’t a word or action.
I hope you at least do something that suits her appearance.
Even if it’s not, it’s cute, but…
Anyway, Leopold looked at the direction Astrid pointed.
Where restoration is in progress.
There, with Ashley throwing off her top, and using the excuse of wiping away the sweat from earlier, I touched Ashley’s full muscles every time, ho, ho… There was Violet, who was admiring it.
“You’re envious of that, Astrid.”
“Boo, envious… “
I should say no.
Astrid couldn’t bring the words out of her mouth.
Before that, Leopold’s hand gently wrapped around Astrid’s shoulder.
On the other hand, his hand wrapped around his shoulder lightly pushed Astrid’s head so that it rested on Leopold’s shoulder.
Naturally Astrid leaned against Leopold.
“Me, Your Highness.”
“Wait, wait a minute.”
It was calm.
It was more peaceful.
“Early exit from the academy, I was allowed.”
“Yes?”
“Didn’t you tell me, Astrid? It’s not that the academy is heavy. The academy’s diploma and you, these two didn’t even need to be weighed on the scales.”
“Well, then… “
Astrid leans her head on Leopold’s shoulder and doesn’t want to fall.
Leopold could understand her feelings.
Because now he did too.
Astrid, leaning on her shoulder, felt that she was so small.
Astrid was not short even for a woman, but Leopold was much taller than that.
Astrid, who has the feeling of being small enough to fall into my arms if I hold her like this.
Leopold said with all her nerves toward Astrid.
“Academy, it doesn’t matter. What matters is you. How are you?”
“I-I… Party, of course… Of course, Your Highness… Joe! Yes majesty… Joe… “
“Yes, the answer is… I really like it.”
Leopold laughed.
It was a very pleasing answer.
“How can even muscles be so attractive?”
“Hey, stop touching me… “
It was Ashley who had been standing hunched over from earlier.
Ashley, who was standing in a slumped posture that was too severe to be called stooped, thought that if she continued like this, she would be in real trouble, so she carefully pushed away Violet, who was caressing her forearm.
“Oh, you are shy.”
“That, not that.”
Ashley couldn’t come to her senses.
Her touch is on a different level.
Speaking of the touch of reason that Ashley had felt, it was mainly a fist, a fist, or a fist.
That was all the touch of reason he felt from Astrid.
Violet’s touch as if it were sliding on my skin like this was too much stimulation for the extremely young Ashley.
“Are you okay. Because that face is so cute.”
“No, that, not that.”
“It’s not like that.”
Ashley could not bear to look straight at Violet, who smiled softly.
If that happens, I think something really big will happen.
“Hmm.”
“Oh.”
In the meantime, the two of them hadn’t even felt the presence of people approaching them.
It was only after they heard a clearing of their throat that they realized that Wolfgang was standing in front of them.
“Your Highness, Grand Duke Myterien.”
“Yes, Lady Autria. Is it okay for a little while?”
“Sure, if Father calls, shouldn’t we make time that we don’t have?”
It’s nice to have a good time, young wife.
Wolfgang glanced over at Violet.
A soft smile with white teeth slightly exposed against healthy-looking bronzed skin.
‘… He has a different charm from Astrid.’
“Uh hmm, hmm. Wait, let’s talk.”
“You do that. I will follow.”
Still smiling lightly, Violet followed Wolfgang.
“See you later, Lord Ashley.”
Even so, Violet doesn’t forget to turn her head slightly and blow a kiss with her fingers.
Ashley looked around.
Where would there be a toilet?
There must have been
