Chapter 5: As a Ruler B - Bethrotal

gets kicked flying.(In regards to female relationships)





_______________________________________________________________________





But…. to make Aisha the 2nd Queen
Consort, you say.





「Would
that be a reward to you, Wodan?」(Souma)





「As a
father, I honestly feel complicated…… But since she also seems to desire that
as well, the desire to grant her wish is also parental love. Also, at this period
in time where the people of the G.o.d-Protected Forest finally started to face
the world outside, I believe it will hold a huge significance for the chief’s daughter
to marry into royalty. Not just the bond between the G.o.d-Protected Forest and
royalty, it would also become the symbol of the bond between Humans and Dark
Elves.」(Wodan)







Not just for the sake of his
daughter, but also for political considerations, I see. For our side as well,
if we could strengthen the ties with the G.o.d-Protected Forest, I would be able
to include the elite archers from the Dark Elves that had shown their prowess in
the battle at the outskirts of Randell……and, well even if we left this benefit
aside……





Aisha is cute. If you asked me
whether or not I wanted to marry her, the answer will be “I would like to”.
Though I do feel that her loyalty to me is too much, but this means that her
good will is also conveyed straight to me (although I feel as though I am
feeding her). Her ability as a queen is doubtful, but she has enough valor to
compensate for that. She is a girl that can give my heart a relief if she could
stay by my side as my wife.





But, you know…… When I turned
back at the throne, I could see Liscia who was standing next to me. Even for my
relationship with Liscia, until now, I have been dodging the issue of her being
my fiancée (temporary). During the war with Amidonia last time, I revised my
thinking after I realized that I was conducting myself like a king when I was
conversing with Carla. When I realized that I had already reached the point of
no return, I decided to stop brushing off the matter of my relationship with
Liscia.





Nonetheless, I am still a little
conflicted in regards to having multiple wives. Though Marcus, Liscia and
Juna-san, had repeatedly said that this is normal, for someone who is strongly influenced
by the ethics of modern j.a.pan, I can’t easily accept it…… Ah, it’s not like I
am thinking about something arrogant like loving multiple women is insincere or
something like that. Giving an immediate reply at this place would only make me
feel bad towards Liscia. It’s like a man who is going to two-timing after all.





As I was thinking about that,
Liscia looked at me. Then, seeing that I was trying not to show how fl.u.s.tered I
was, Liscia said as if slightly astonished.





「Please
make sure you properly take Aisha as your wife, got it?」(Liscia)





「You
say properly……Are you fine with it, Liscia? 」(Souma)





「I
don’t have any right to forbid it, but didn’t I already say that if it’s Aisha
and the rest, then I am fine with it? Or rather, it will become more
troublesome if you don’t marry them after all.」(Liscia)





「Troublesome?」(Souma)





「Souma,
you are a king, you know. At any rate, from now on, there will be a situation
where you have to marry the daughters of n.o.bles or the princesses of other
countries. For the sake of that situation, I wish to fill the higher ranking consorts
with people who we can trust.」





Liscia, who emphasized the
practical side of this arrangement, gave out a sigh, and looked at me who was still
hesitating.





「Even
though Souma can make firm decisions that control the fate of the country, but
when it comes to female relationships, you are so indecisive, aren’t you?」(Liscia)





「Ugu……」(Souma)





「Good
grief…. Aisha!」(Liscia)





「Y,
Yes!」(Aisha)





Being called out suddenly, diagonally
at my back in her guard position, Aisha, who was keep on edge and watching the event
to see how it progressed, jumped with a startle. Liscia pointed her finger at
her with a snap.





「I do
not plan on handing over the position of the First Queen Consort. Is being the Second
Queen Consort fine for you? If you are fine with it, I won’t say anything or
rather, I will welcome you.」(Liscia)





「Y…Yes!
If I can be at the side of his Majesty!」(Aisha)





Liscia nodded at Aisha’s reply
and then spoke to me while looking straight into my eyes.





「I
have set the table. That’s why…. Do it…. properly.」(Liscia)





「……Got
it.」(Souma)





I wonder why. At this time, I
feel like I have already seen the power balance of the future. Liscia has
already shown this much “Woman’s Spirit”…. So, as expected, I can’t show any
more of my unsightliness. I walked towards Aisha and stopped near her. That
strong Aisha was now showing a uneasy expression. Ah… seriously, don’t make
such a face.





「Aisha.」(Souma)





「Y,
Yes!」(Aisha)





「So……
would you become my bride?」(Souma)





「U!
Yes! With pleasure!」(Aisha)





I swallowed the retort of 「Is
this a bar?」[1]. While I was feeling like my face was burning, I turned
to face Wodan and spoke to him, who was standing there smiling while leaking
out his complicated feelings as a father. I spoke not in a tone of a King, but as
someone who was addressing a person above him.





「….So
the situation has reached this point. I shall come forth to give my official
greeting. Father-in-law.」(Souma)





「….I
shall be waiting. Son-in-law.」(Wodan)





Thus, Aisha became my second
fiancee.





But, now that it has turned out
this way, what should I do with the 『Dame of the East Wind』
t.i.tle. As expected, I don’t think I can make the Queen act like an exclusive SP[2].
When I mentioned this to Aisha,





「Leave
it to me, your Majesty! Even when I have became your Majesty’s wife, I shall
protect your Majesty’s life!」(Aisha)





Was what she said with a
full-faced smile, so we decided to leave it as it is…… Well, I guess I can just
appoint some subordinates under her later. Now that the Second Queen Consort
candidacy had been decided, Marcus made a relieved expression as one of his worries
had finally decreased (he had been worrying about the danger of the currently
low number of members of Royalty due to the previous succession struggle, he
has been saying 「Increase the number of the wives, make children」 at
every opportunity), and although it ended up in the form of having new worries
dropping in, I could only show my condolences.





Towards this situation we were
in, Juna-san showed a slightly lonesome smile.





　◇　◇　◇





Although I was met with various
difficulties, Wodan’s reward session ended, and finally it was Juna-san’s turn.






As I was speaking words of grat.i.tude,
I asked her, 「Do you have anything you wish for?」….
Well, even if I didn’t ask her, I already knew her answer. Most likely, she
would make a pet.i.tion that she wished to hand over all of her merits to Excel.
This time, she moved not as a Lorelei, but as a member of the Navy.





「Your
Majesty, my merit……」(Juna)





「May I
speak a few words?」(Excel)





Excel began to speak and interrupted
Juna’s words.





「Please
forgive me for my sudden impoliteness. However, please grant me the permission
to speak.」(Excel)





「……
Granted.」(Souma)





「Thank
you very much.」(Excel)





Excel bowed and slowly began to speak.





「As
Your Majesty should know, Juna Doma is my granddaughter. But Juna’s father, who
is my son, had married into the merchant family of Doma, which conducts
business in our Lagoon City. In other words, Juna Doma was born as a commoner.
Though through her military service, she is working under me, she doesn’t have
any connections to a “n.o.ble family’s” circ.u.mstances.」(Excel)





「… What
do you wish to say?」(Souma)





Although I asked that, Excel
instead faced Juna-san and said to her,





「Although
you might have planned to use your merits for my sake, that is not necessary.」(Excel)





「Esteemed
Grandmother[3]!?
However, 」(Juna)





Juna tried to argue vehemently, so
Excel silently shook her head





「It
is fine. You are a person who does not have connections with the Vargas family.
It is not good to use your merits for someone you have not met before. Please use
it for your own sake.」(Excel)





「Esteemed
Grandmother!?」(Juna)





「I cannot
sacrifice the happiness of my granddaughter for the sake of my son-in-law and my
other granddaughter. It is fine, so you do not need to worry about us. You should
go ahead and have your wish granted.」





Having Excel looking at her with such
gentle eyes, Juna cast her eyes downward, she seemed to be conflicted for a
moment. But, soon after, she opened her eyes, took a step forward and kneeled.[4]





「Your
Majesty. I have a request.」(Juna)





「……What
is it?」(Souma)





「If
possible, I also……wish to stay and sing by Your Majesty’s side from now on.」(Juna)





This means…. no need to guess, to
take Juna-san…. as my wife as well.





「Your
Majesty, in Juna Doma-dono’s case, we can accept her as a Royal Consort. If you
wish to receive her as a Queen Consort, then it is necessary for her to be
adopted at some point by a n.o.ble House of Knight rank or higher.」(Marcus)





Markus said that with a happy
expression. Perhaps because the fact that the number of my wives were increasing
was just as he desired. When I looked at Liscia, she gave a nod as if saying, 「Agree」.
But….





「I am
sorry. I cannot do so……」(Souma)





I rejected it clearly. Liscia
opened her eyes wide at my words, while Excel looked at me with imploring eyes
as if asking「Why in the world……」. Juna-san
was looking downward, so I couldn’t see her expression. A gloomy atmosphere
started to envelop the room, but…… No no no, please listen to the end.





「……For
the time being…… It’s not possible. Juna-san is the 『Prima
Lorelei』 of 『Project Lorelei』, the Musical Program Broadcast plan that uses the
Royal Broadcast Orb, you know. If we try to announce the engagement of the
famous Juna-san then, a revolt will happen in the capital.」





And that will not be on a joking level
either. It was still fresh in my memory that there was a request from the
National a.s.sembly to 『Put Juna-san more often on the Royal Broadcast』. An
idol, who was revealed to have a lover, had her blog blazed, this was something
that happened quite often in the previous world, but since there isn’t any blog
that is going to burn in this world, it’s going to be either the『City』or the
『Castle』, I
guess. Burning the country with flames of jealousy is not something I can laugh
at. So,





「Would
you be willing to wait for a while longer?」(Souma)





「!」(Juna)





Towards Juna-san who raised her
head, I spoke these words while having an awkward feeling,





「Right
now, I still need the ability of Juna-san as a 『Lorelei』.
That’s why I wish for you to stay as the 「Citizen’s Juna-san」 for
now. After we gather even more Loreleis and raise them into talents that can succeed
the path, then I shall certainly go and receive you.」(Souma)





「……I
shall be waiting for that day. Your Majesty」(Juna)





Juna-san said this and revealed the
smile of a young maiden.

Author’s note:





Thank you very much for reading it
always.





With that, Aisha and Juna have become
his fiancées.





To describe their relationship in a
certain someone’s ecstatic way of talking,[5]






【So-Li →  Best Friends, Comrades and Lovers】





【So-Ai →  Master and his faithful dog】[6]





【So-Juna → A
brother trying to tiptoe[7]
and an elder sister gently chiding him】





This is the kind of relationship I am
trying to make people feel.





Ah, Tomoe-chan is a sister to the end.
