Chapter 577 Discussion With The Next Generation Before The Wedding
His family’s business was also affected. Although the source was unknown, detailed rumors spread widely, causing the remaining family to feel ashamed, and the head of the household to step down from his position. The merchants who were once under the umbrella of Garoumaru’s family traced their connections and gathered, causing a shift in the power structure of the merchants in the castle town, leading to a new flow.
The military officials who had supported Garoumaru, as planned by Iwao, shifted their position from supporting Garoumaru to supporting the neutral faction – in other words, the position that supports the lord of the country. Furthermore, Tsubaki actively worked to mediate between the former Garoumaru faction and Kuroumaru, successfully improving their relationship and firmly grasping their hearts.
As a result, a new faction loyal to Tsubaki, the next in line among the neutral faction, was born. Her actions were guided by Shinji’s advice, although they had no knowledge of this.
While the issue of rebuilding the reclaimed territory from Tenshou Country remains, Soukai Country, free from anxiety, hurriedly began preparations for the wedding of Tsubaki and Kuroumaru. The threat from that country has disappeared, but it is understood that this is only temporary.
If war breaks out again, there’s a high chance that Kuroumaru will be sent to the battlefield. Considering the loss of the heir (Take) in the war with Tenshou Country, it’s only natural to expect Tsubaki and Kuroumaru to have a child.
Now that Kuroumaru’s marriage has been decided, he has started studying to become the next lord. He has been solely focused on wielding a spear until now, so he lacks knowledge of governing the country. No matter how excellent his vassals are in supporting him, he cannot remain ignorant. Therefore, under the guidance of the outstanding teachers led by Iwao, Kuroumaru ended up spending a considerable amount of time buried in his books.
”…How should I put it, your expression has changed, Kuroumaru-dono.”
”I’d like to say it’s nothing… but there’s so much to learn that it’s mentally exhausting. Nevertheless, this is necessary learning. I must become worthy of being the next lord.”
Shinji meeting Kuroumaru after several days, but he is already showing glimpses of the dignity of the next lord. In the conversation room, not only Kuroumaru but also Tsubaki were present, sitting next to him. There are four people in this room, including the the lady-in-waiting.
”Kuroumaru is making a great effort, I believe. His attitude toward learning is highly regarded, and I also think his willingness to listen to others around him is very commendable. I feel that I did not see any resistance in Kuroumaru when I asked for his cooperation.”
”Princess…”
”Tsubaki, right? We are about to get married.”
”Yes, Tsubaki-sama. I’m sorry, I’m still not used to it.”
”Hehe, take your time to get used to it.”
Tsubaki’s cheerful laughter and Kuroumaru’s somewhat bashful demeanor seemed to indicate a greater intimacy than their previous master-servant relationship. Nevertheless, Kuroumaru’s attitude still seemed firm, and it felt like he hadn’t quite grasped the distance between himself and the admired princess.
One side, Tsubaki interacts with him naturally. She never shows any negative feelings about the marriage. Even from the perspective of the maid who always stands by her, Tsubaki seems to take Kuroumaru’s marriage positively.
Seeing her not showing any signs of distress in front of Shinji, the maid was greatly relieved inwardly. She thought that Tsubaki liked Shinji and was worried if she could handle her feelings.
But as it turned out, the conversation among the three of them was healthy. Shinji showed courtesy not only to Tsubaki but also to Kuroumaru, and neither of them directed any feelings of trust or affection beyond that. The maid realized her worries were groundless and resolved to be a faithful retainer.
”Well then, we would like to continue importing armaments.”
”Yes, I want to distribute the armaments purchased from Shinji-dono not only to my troops but also to the future seed elite troops. Ideally, I would like to equip all the military officers, but…”
”I can’t take away the work of the city’s blacksmiths. The cost is also considerable… Before, I took advantage of Shinji’s favor to marry off Kuroumaru, but from now on, we must have equal transactions.”
”No, Iwao-sama, Kuroumaru-dono paid the remaining amount in a lump sum with the rewards from the previous battle, which honestly helped a lot. I plan to visit Soukai Country regularly in the future, so please call me if there’s anything. I’ll help in any way I can.”
”Ah, I’ll continue to rely on you. If there’s anything you need, please tell me. Shinji-dono is the benefactor who saved the country, after all.”
”I’ll be counting on you at that time.”
During a casual business conversation, the decision was made to continue supplying weapons in the future. Shinji stands to gain significant benefits from selling weapons.
There is still an abundance of monster materials in Hiyuri Village, so there is no shortage of materials. By reducing the quantity, it is possible to create them without overburdening Durin’s workshop, and by selling them to Soukai Country, Shinji will have a profit in hand.
With the suspension of the activities of the “Running Wolves,” the only source of income is the salary from the Wolf family (which is quite substantial). Therefore, it can be anticipated as a new source of income. If one is to engage in various behind the scenes activities, funding is essential. Kuroumaru’s request was quite demanding.
”As soon as the wedding is over, I will return to my home country. At that time, I will return the separate building that I had borrowed to the princess, so I will start cleaning it from now on.”
”Don’t worry about it. We will handle the thorough cleaning here… It’s about time, isn’t it?”
The wedding is in three days. The bustling activity within the castle is the reason for this, and due to Kuroumaru and Tsubaki’s busy schedules, they don’t have much time to talk. As soon as their business is done, they must move on to the next appointment.
When Tsubaki sees the maid, she speaks to the guards who are protecting the conversation room. The door opens, and Kuroumaru and Tsubaki stand up and head to the guards with the maid.
”Well then, Shinji-dono. Next is the wedding.”
”We have prepared a special seat for you… let’s meet again.”
”Yes, I look forward to it.”
Tsubaki, standing next to Kuroumaru, maintains her princess-like behavior until the end. Even though she may truly desire more time with Shinji, and even though she believes she loves him truly, she continues to play the role of the ‘ideal princess’ not only because she feels a deeper connection, but also to secure the position of the ruler for the future child she will bear with Shinji.
If only her beloved were to attend her wedding and offer words of celebration, Tsubaki’s heart and demeanor would remain unwavering. She would quietly continue with the preparations for the wedding.
She has been told that she will be pregnant with Shinji’s child on the first night of the wedding. While she smiles in anticipation of the ceremony, she secretly harbors expectations for her final s*x with Shinji.
