Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 358

Not long after Melia, the personal maid of Her Majesty Matilda, left the room, the fathers returned to the room.

Then, His Majesty Irwin smiled at David and the others.

"How are you, kids ? Did you get along with Rid and Fara?"

"Yes, Father. I am convinced that Rid and I will be good friends."

"I agree with my brother."

'...... I too have become good friends with Rid.'

The three of them nodded smugly as they each answered.

His Majesty Irwin's mouth relaxed with a happy "ha ha" at the sight of them.

"I see, I see. That is good. Hey, Matilda."

"Yes, the children's friendship will surely brighten the future of the empire as it is. Do you think so too, Rainer?"

"Yes, I do. As you say, it is a great pleasure to see the children who will build the future of the empire getting along so well together."

The father answered with awe to His Majesty Matilda's question, which seemed to contain a hint of meaning.

Then, His Majesty Irwin shook his head.

"Don't be so tough, Rainer. I know you don't want your son to be involved in political disputes. However, in less than ten years from now, Rid will have to enroll in the Magnolia Imperial Knight Academy in the imperial capital to prepare for his inheritance of the title and succession of the territory . How can you be so overprotective of him now?"

"...... Rid will not be a child at that time. But now he is still a child. I think it's only natural for a parent not to want to get involved in unnecessary political disputes,...... Irwin, Your Majesty."

'Well, don't wrinkle your brow so much, Rainer. Rid, I look forward to your coming to the Imperial City."

'Thank you, Your Majesty. "

I bowed to him, but when I heard the words "Magnolia Imperial Knight Academy," I felt a jolt of excitement.

The school is the the main stage of the "Tokirella! which I remember from my previous life.

But graduating from the academy is important for the children of imperial nobility,......, or even essential if you want to live as a noble.

In the Magnolia Empire, the current head of the family can appoint any person to the position of governor and title, but there are certain conditions that must be met.

First, the person must be related to the current head of the family by blood or adoption.

Second, the person must have graduated from the "Knight Academy of the Magnolia Empire.

Third, the succession to the title of governor and knighthood must be approved by His Majesty the Emperor and permission must be granted.

By the way, the condition for admission to the academy is to be a child of a noble family, including adopted children, between the ages of 16 and 20.

In addition, due to the ties between countries, there are cases where nobles from other countries are accepted as exchange students.

After entering the academy, students will be introduced to the history of the empire and the management of the territory.

In addition to war strategies and political speeches, students learn the necessary knowledge and attitude as a nobility, such as "chivalry" and "bushido," as it was called in my previous life.

Afterwards, those who graduate from the school are given the title of "associate knight," which is the lowest title in the Magnolia Empire.

The title of "associate knight" only indicates that the student has graduated from the academy.

The title can be raised by subsequent achievements and contributions to the empire, as well as by succession to a family title or viceroyalty.

However, it is said that the Emperor's permission may not be granted if the inheritance of a title and viceroy is clearly inadequate, or if it is considered an abuse of nobleship.

There are exceptions, though.

At any rate, in the Magnolia Empire, the children of nobles cannot inherit their families' titles and governorships unless they graduate from the "Magnolia Imperial Knight Academy.

Not only that, but the family itself may even fall, and in the worst case scenario, the bloodline may be severed.

The children of the nobility are studying hard every day from an early age in order to graduate from the "Magnolia Imperial Knight Academy",......, and I am one of them.

The name of the academy is "knight," but noble daughters can also enroll in the academy.

Rather, it is said that a good marriage is unlikely unless the young lady also graduates from the academy.

If one wants to have high hopes, it is necessary to graduate with good grades, so everyone seems to be desperate.

Mel, my younger sister, will eventually enter the academy and look for a good match.

But I'm not going to admit that she doesn't have the right skills to do so.

At that moment, Her Majesty Matilda, who was watching the exchange, burst out laughing.

"But at any rate, I am looking forward to the 'reception' that the Bardia family is going to hold. Would it be correct to say that we will talk about the 'sweet wine' matter with Chris at that time?"

"Yes, thank you. I'll let her know that as well."

By the way, Chris has been asked to accompany you to the Imperial Capital this time.

By now, she should be preparing for the reception at the imperial mansion with Carlo, the butler, and the children of the beastmen tribe.

I asked her if she wanted to go up to the castle with me, but she politely declined, saying, "I have to get ready for the reception, so with all due respect, I respectfully decline."

After the incident with the lotion, Chris has been going to the capital more often, but she doesn't try to go up to the castle unless she is summoned by His Majesty Matilda.

But it seems that she is called frequently.

Yes, I will be there. As I told Rainer again in the other room, we will be attending the reception, so please do us the favor of joining us on the day of the reception.

"I understand. I'm sure everyone in the house will be pleased to meet His Majesty."

"Good bye, Rainer. See you later."

When His Majesty Irwin answered his father's reply, Matilda stepped forward and looked at Farah.

"I didn't get to hear much about you guys today. Fara, I would like to have a long talk with you in particular. Let's talk again next time I visit the house".

"Yes, I will be looking forward to it."

Fara nodded and her eyes narrowed happily.

After saying goodbye to David and the others, the group left the room.

Relieved by the quiet, I let out an involuntary "phew......" breath.

Then I sat down on the sofa, letting my back rest against it.

'Even as expected, you seem to have grown weary of dealing with the royal family.

'What do you think I am, ...... father?'

'Heh. But Master Rid was very polite. I think you and David-sama are going to be good friends from now on."

When Fara said that, Diana and Asuna, who were watching the series of exchanges, nodded their heads in agreement.

"I believe that both of you have been dealing appropriately with the members of the royal family."

"Princess, Master Rid. It was admirable."

The two complimented me, and I scratched my cheeks as if to hide my embarrassment and muttered, "Haha ...... that's good, though.

Returning to the mansion from the imperial palace, I asked everyone to gather in the hall.

Soon after, the people who came with me from Bardia and the people working at the residence in the imperial capital gathered there.

Looking around at the assembled people, most of them had a "what's going on?" Looks

I cough to get their attention.

Well, everyone, I have some good news. It has been decided that members of the royal family will be attending the reception that will be held here next time. Let's do our best to prepare for it so there will be no rudeness."

Everyone was stunned as if a pigeon had been hit by a peashooter.

However, not long after that, a startled voice roared through the house, "Eeeeeeeeeeee⁉.

My father looked at the scene with a stunned look on his face, but I, Fara, Asuna, and Diana were smiling happily at the sight of it.
