Eroge Reincarnation, Struggle of a Golden Pig Aristocrat Against Fate - CH 72

The two were applauded, and many people crowded around them. They were all men, though.

The reason, of course, was to ask Sylvia to dance. Leolde ran away while Sylvia was surrounded by many people .

When he reached the edge of the  hall , he breathed a sigh of relief that he was finally free.

He was thirsty, so he took a drink from a servant and stood there as if he were a part of the wall.

From a distance, he  watched  Sylvia’s distressed face as he  moisten  his throat. He  let out a small groan at the sensation of the cold drink moistening  his throat.

“Mmm~!　YUMI~!”

The music starts playing again and the dance resumes. This time there was no need to dance, so LeoLde just watched the dance in a daze.

Olivia, his mother, came up to him.

“, “That was a beautiful dance, LeoldE.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“I’m curious, how did you seduce His Highness Sylvia?”

“I didn’t seduce her. I don’t know why, but I think she  interested in me.”

“Oh, my. I’m so happy for you!　I thought Leolde would never get married, but I never thought that His Highness Sylvia would  be interested in him!

What are you saying all of a sudden, Mother? A sinner like me with Your Highness is nothing short of terrifying!

“It is true that you have sinned.  but that doesn’t mean you can’t get married.”

“That may be true, but just because it’s …… doesn’t mean it’s not possible for  me to marry His Highness, does it?”

“Oh, you think so?　Leolde. You may have forgotten, but it’s not unusual for a duke to marry a princess.”

Olivia was right. It is true that royal women often marry into other countries in order to strengthen their ties with them.

But there are also times when they surrender in order to strengthen their ties with the nobility of their own country.

In other words, as a duke, there is a possibility for Leolde. However, if anything, it is Regulus, the next head of the family, who deserves it.

“Even if there was a possibility, the people around would not accept it. And what would His Majesty say?

“Yes. But I have a feeling that  it will be fine.”

“What do you mean?”

“Mother’s intuition. That’s all ”

“Ha-ha, I see.”

He thought that she would be drawn to Zeke even if  she was Sylvia. He was interested in Leolde  now, but if  she met Zeke, she would be bonded and join his harem.

After all, he had just witnessed the example of Shelia, who was a subheroine in Destiny 48.

(Well, what does it matter? I’ll just focus on survival.)

(I’ll just focus on surviving.) Leoldo gulped down the last of the wine.

Soon the party was over and  guests left  Leolde returns to his parents’ house with his family.

On the way  back to home, his father, Beluga, asked him the same questions as his mother, and he laughed constantly. In addition, his brother and sister were full of hatred for him, saying that he must have used some kind of cowardly trick.

This was the end of   his business in the royal capital. Tomorrow they would return to Ze’at. Leorde would finally be free of the headaches and stomach aches that plagued him.

He went to sleep feeling relieved.

The next day, he woke up feeling good, and his servant took him to the dining room. He found only his father, Beluga, in the dining room.

He greeted  him and took a seat, but was silent,  he was unsure what to say.

“Leolde, there is something I want to tell you. As soon as you finish eating, come to my office .

“Yes, father .”

Leolde was in a hurry because of the abruptness of the statement, but he calmly replied.

Later, his mother Olivia and his brother and sister came to the dining room. to have breakfast.

Regulus and Leila are in a good mood, probably because they know that Leolde is  returning today. On the other hand, Olivia’s mood is somber.

It had been a long time since they had seen each other, but they had only been able to spend a short time together, so Olivia felt inadequate.

Leolde continued to eat breakfast while watching the contrasting reactions of  his  family. There was nothing in particular to say. In fact, if he said something, one of them would react in a big way.

It’s a situation where one side stands up for the other side, and the other side stands down. It’s a pity that this is a family reunion.

After finishing breakfast, Leolde went to Beluga’s office , as Beluga had called him.

He knocked on the door and when he answered, he went inside.

“What can I do for you, father ?

“Yes. There is one thing I would like to ask you.”

“You want me to do something for you?　Not Regulus?”

“Yes.you.”

“What is it?”

“I wants you to have full authority over Ze’at. In other words, you’ll be acting as  lord of Ze’at.”

“Huh. ……?

How many times do  he  have freeze since he  came to the capital? Leoldoe’s head could have overheated and burned out by now.

“Ze’at, as you know, is my domain and jurisdiction. But now I have you. And you’ve done a great job this time, and the knights are supoorting you .

So, Leolde. I’d like to put Ze’at in your hands.”

“I’m a blameless man!　The people will be more at ease if father continues to rule as he has until now.”

“It’s an honor, but I think it’s too much for me to handle. ……”

“I see. ……””

(Oh!　I get it!)

“I knew you would say that. That’s why I’ve already received an imperial order from His Majesty.

“What?”

“You still don’t like it, do you, Leolde?

“I’ll risk my life to rule Ze’at!”

“Please, my son, Leordo.”

“Damn it!　How could this happen?”

Leoldd is grieving, but it is all rust from his own body. If he only wanted to survive, he should have trained in secret and only shown his strength when the time came.

But this time, he was ordered by his father to do so, which was partly unavoidable, but it was his own decision to try his best to save the knights.

Therefore, it was his own fault.
