Chapter 262 – Marriage
Unbeknownst to me, my back, which had been buried deep in the living room sofa, fell off.
“The most beautiful woman in the kingdom?”
I asked the baron who corrected his posture and turned around as if confirming once more.
“Yes, it is. Princess Cristina is the most beautiful woman in the kingdom!”
Baron Dollyn replied excitedly when I seemed interested.
Being the most beautiful woman in the kingdom raises my curiosity.
Of course, you can’t just trust the words of this aristocrat.
The princess of the kingdom
This guy is a noble of the kingdom.
Since the princess is also a member of the royal family, it may have been floated once.
You can’t call the princess of your country ugly, can you?
“Do you have a picture?”
“Pictured? Are you talking about it?”
It seemed that he couldn’t understand what was being said.
I made a mistake.
Isn’t the word “Photography” Unfamiliar to this world?
Still, no apologies.
“…A portrait.”
If you do, you will understand
“A portrait of Princess Christina. Of course there is.”
Baron Turner glanced at the man next to him who appeared to be a servant.
Then he carefully puts the luxurious box the servant was carrying on the table.
It seems to have been prepared in advance.
I wondered if the housekeeper had brought a gift, but it didn’t seem like it.
With his white-gloved hand, the servant carefully takes out from the box a well-wrapped rectangular plate that appears to be a portrait.
The rectangular plate wasn’t big enough to fit in a box.
Maybe it’s a subspace box?
He handed it to me carefully.
It looked like a portrait of a princess.
I unwrapped it and checked the portrait.
“How are you…?”
Baron Turner carefully asks me.
She was a beauty with auburn hair and dark blue eyes.
It was definitely pretty.
But to be the best in the kingdom…
Even my elf lover Ayla was at this level.
I’m sorry to the most beautiful woman in the kingdom…
My eyes on women were so high.
Come to think of it, as a human, she had a beauty that would not be inferior to that of an elf, so she was an amazing beauty.
And since there is a premium called royalty…
Wouldn’t the title of the most beautiful woman in the kingdom be attached?
However, I had no intention of getting married.
Marriage with royalty is a means to get my nose pierced by anyone.
Still, I wanted to see it once.
The real thing, not a portrait.
Real princess.
I was looking forward to being a princess.
Wouldn’t it be okay to just look at your face?
“I want to see it in person.”
“Is that so? His Highness the King will be delighted too!”
For some reason, the reaction was a reaction that seemed to be misunderstood that I had given permission.
“I said I want to see her face first.”
“Don’t worry. You won’t regret it.”
Did you understand correctly? I think I misunderstood something…
I just wanted to see your face.
I didn’t talk about getting married.
I didn’t really have any thoughts of wanting to get married.
I have quite a few women.
But I don’t think I want to get married.
It is not the normal mindset of an ordinary human being.
To be honest…
If I had a normal mindset, I wouldn’t have met so many women.
‘Whether I’m mistaken or not, it’s none of my business…’
Let’s return the portrait of the princess…
“I hope Unho-nim will keep it. It is a portrait painted by the best painter in the kingdom with great care. Princess Cristina would also like it.”
It seems to be given as a gift of its own.
If it was a portrait of a man, I would have thrown it right in his face, but it is a portrait of a beautiful princess.
“I will.”
I put the portrait into the inventory.
Baron Turner looked at her and looked at him, but he didn’t say anything.
“Is there anything more to do?”
He is a nobleman who came with a wedding message sent from the palace.
I know this is not polite.
Originally, I would have treated the guests a little more and that situation would have continued… But I didn’t want to keep them in the mansion.
“Oh, no.”
Fortunately, it seems that there is an eye to this.
I liked that.
“Then go.”
“Okay. Now then…”
For some reason, the baron turned away happily.
And soon after, Liliana appeared.
“You’ve been given a portrait.”
“A portrait? I got it.”
“Do you know what that means?”
“…How do I know that. Isn’t it a gift?”
What was the meaning of receiving the portrait?
“Ehh… Receiving a portrait of the person with whom marriage talks came in in Barulas is a doctor’s expression that is equivalent to consent.”
This is again… Unexpected.
They say that when you go to Rome you have to follow the Roman laws…
Well…That has nothing to do with me.
“Well…It will work somehow.”
I’m sorry for the princess, but I had no intention of getting married or anything like that.

Baron Turner’s luck was that the impression he had upon seeing the Transcendental One was great.
Is it because of his large size?
The pressure was great.
It’s not just the pressure that comes from the body.
It was rare even among the kingdom’s knights, but it wasn’t that there were no knights of similar build.
He has never met such an article.
But I didn’t feel that much pressure.
Even though they were similar in size, the transcendental figure felt overwhelmingly large.
It was a feeling of intimidation that he had never felt before meeting King Frederick.
It may be because of that.
At the first encounter with the Transcendentalist, the baron’s body stiffened with tension.
Was his head hardened as well?
He unknowingly made the mistake of speaking gibberish.
After talking nonsense for a long time, Baron Dolly instinctively felt that the Transcendentalist’s planting was becoming uncomfortable.
Baron Dollyne was often told that he was quick-witted.
That is also the reason Baron Turnen came here.
Fortunately, he quickly grasped the Transcendentalist’s tendency to dislike ostentation and ostentatiousness, and delivered the matter right away.
And from the mouth of the Transcendentalist, a story came out that he wanted to see Princess Christina.
Having said that he wanted to receive the portrait and even see the face of the princess was the same as giving permission.
Baron Dollyn left his mansion feeling relieved that his mission had been completed.
Originally, it was the etiquette of aristocrats, and there was no case of leaving the business so quickly.
However, Baron Dollyn thought it was fortunate.
The personality of the Transcendentalist didn’t look very good, and it seemed like he would succumb to the pressure.
She had no intention of staying there any longer.
Rather, she thought it was fortunate that she sent it sooner.
“Sir Dalton. Are you all right?”
Dalton is the leader of the Barun Knights, one of the kingdom’s core knights. He was, and he was, one of only five sword masters in the kingdom.
However, the Transcendentalist did not even pay attention to him.
Literally completely ignored.
But I couldn’t even complain about it.
It was because he was a transcendent and overwhelming force.
Dalton eventually faced the transcendent and left the mansion without saying a word.
As a sword master, his pride was hurt.
Baron Dollyn wondered if Dalton might have hurt his pride.
“What do you mean?”
It was fortunate.
Dalton didn’t seem too concerned.
Is this the existence of a transcendent?
“Sir Dalton, how was he?”
Baron Dollyn confirmed that Dalton wasn’t feeling too bad and asked him.
“How was it…It’s not something I can evaluate. But um…Have you seen his body?”
“Yeah…It was big.”
“It’s not just big. His body is an ideal body that any human who uses a body would want to have. It’s a really nice body. This is the first time I’ve ever felt envious of a man’s body.”
Dalton is a reticent man.
But if he talks a lot like this, that’s how great it is.
“Isn’t Lord Hamilton a bit big?”
“He’s just big…”
“If you are a human being, there is bound to be something lacking. This is even more true when you have such a large height and body. But, no matter where you look, from the waist, arms, legs, to the proportions, there is no lack of muscle. The power that radiates from such a body It’s hard to imagine.”
“Is the strength of the body important to knights who handle Auras? I heard that once you can use Auras, it won’t matter that much…”
“Huh, what the hell did someone say that. The body is fundamental. Just because you can strengthen your body with an aura doesn’t mean you can’t move your body. If you’re a knight, that’s even more important. Even if you can’t handle aura with that level of body, You should be able to deal with a knight who can use an aura.”
Of course, Baron Doleen, who was not a knight, could only nod his head saying that it was so.
“It’s close to impossible to build a body like that at that height and size. I thought it was impossible too. It feels like I’ve opened my eyes. Did I build a body like that because I’m a Transcendentalist?
Dalton seemed excited, like a child who had seen something amazing.
‘Is this your original personality?’
Turning Baron was getting tired of it.
To be honest, the story of Aurors and knights was not of interest.
“That’s right. But it’s fortunate. He accepted this marriage talk positively, easier than I thought.”
For some reason, I changed the subject because I thought that if I did something wrong, the talk would be long.
“If he marries Princess Cristina, the Kingdom of Barulas will become a country that no country, not even the Empire, can tamper with. Maybe… If you’re lucky, you might be able to receive the teachings.”
Wasn’t that what he said behind his back?
The two hurried back to the capital.
