Chapter 347

After the Marquis Berruti and Bergamot left the room and the atmosphere in the room calmed down, Father coughed and looked around at us, "Now that this has happened, I should tell you how your marriage was arranged".

Fara and Asuna looked at each other and then asked, "May we hear it?" Fara asked anxiously.

In the exchange with Marquis Berruti and Bergamot earlier, Fara said, "It is thoughtless to tell the former princess of Renalute about the flow of political decisions within the empire."

Perhaps that was also their true intention.

However, father shook his head.

"I have judged that you are trustworthy based on what you have said and done so far. Besides, I think Fara has made up her mind to bury her bones in the Bardia family. If that is the case, there will be no problem."

"Yes, I think your father is right."

Master Rid, father-in-law. Fara's cheeks relaxed happily and she bailed us out.

Asuna also bowed her head, saying, "Thank you for your consideration for the princess."

Then my father began to talk again about how the marriage between Fara and me was decided.

The empire has concluded a secret agreement with Renalute to form an alliance with it, and secretly make it a vassal state, but my father is keeping this matter a secret from the two of us as he proceeds with his story.

The marriage between the royal family of Renalute and the imperial family or the second highest nobility was decided when the alliance was formed in order to strengthen the relationship between the two countries.

Then, when Fara approached a certain age, Renalute sent a letter of invitation to the empire to ask for her hand in marriage or engagement.

The emperor initially considered marrying the second prince, "Kiel Magnolia," but there was a considerable amount of trouble over the matter due to opposition from the central nobility.

In particular, it is said that the question of marrying the royal family of Renalute, with whom they have an alliance, with the imperial family of the empire was questioned.

As we will soon learn, even though the Empire and Renalute are allies, the political power relationship between the two is strong in the Empire. Therefore, the central nobles were hesitant to play the hand of the imperial prince. It might be a painful story from the perspective of Fara, who is royalty."

"Yes. ......."

It is a frustrating story as a princess of a country," she said. But fortunately, thanks to that, I was able to marry Master Rid. I know I'm not supposed to think this way, but personally, I'm glad we did this," Farah says, turning her eager eyes toward us.

"Ummm, yeah". I felt my face heat up at the same time.

Witnessing such an exchange, the father's eyes narrowed and his mouth relaxed.

"I see. Then that's good. I'm sure you know that. ...... But you mustn't tell Renalute about this," he continued, glaring sharply at Fara and Asuna, as if to nail them.

Even though he knew the girls had nothing to say, he wanted to be sure.

Fara, perhaps sensing his intention, unhesitatingly said, "Yes, I understand," and the two girls nodded at the same time.

Father nodded and resumed his explanation, ,

As a result of the daily meetings regarding the marriage between the imperial family and the royal family of Renalute, the decision was made that 'the significance and value of marrying the royal family of Renalute, which has formed an alliance with the royal family of the empire, to the imperial family is low.

The meeting then moved on to the question, "Which of the nobles of the second rank should be married?

At this time, the dukes, counts, and even marquises were mentioned as candidates.

However, due to the age difference and the fact that many of the children were already engaged, the final two candidates were narrowed down to the "Counts of Bardia" or the "Marquise Jean-Paul".

However, there was one family in particular who was not willing to marry the "Marquise de Jean-Paul" to the royal family of Renaloute.

To their surprise, it was the emperor, Irwin, and the empress, Matilda.

Apparently, they feared that the Marquise Jean Paul, at the top of the "revolutionary faction," would have ties to other countries and become more influential in domestic affairs.

As a result, Their Majesties put in a good word with Duke Burns top of the "conservative faction," and got the opinions of the conservative faction together, suppressed the innovative faction, and forcibly decided to marry me and Farrah.

"The Marquis Berluti probably didn't hear about the forced decision to marry Rid and Fara. He had been making all sorts of moves to make Farrah his grandson's wife, I heard."

In other words, the Marquis Berluti was probably working from the beginning to marry Farah to his grandson in order to increase his political influence.

However, the emperors forced the marriage of Fara and me at the last moment.

What I am wondering about this story is why the Marquis Berluti chose "Fara" for his grandson's marriage, even if it was to increase his political influence.

If I think about it, if he wanted to increase his political power within the empire, it would be faster to establish ties with the royal family and the dukes.

While I was lost in thought, Fara muttered with deep emotion, "That's why the Marquis de Berluti said that I might have been his grandson's wife".

'Yes. For him, Farah is a 'big fish that got away'. When His Majesty told me that Rid and Farah were to be married, I was surprised at the suddenness of the news."

" By the way, my father also said when he told me about it that it was the first time he knew about it during his visit to the Imperial Capital," I drunk my remaining cup of tea and put it on the desk.

'Well, that's the end of the story. And whatever twists and turns you had to go through to come to this decision, you are now officially a married couple in the empire. No matter what anyone says, as long as you keep your pride and dignity, there will be no problem. Good."

I nodded, "Yes, father," and Fara nodded happily, "Yes, father-in-law."

Not long after that, we were finally summoned by the emperor.
