I Have Been Called The Idiot Son Behind My Back. But I Remembered Memories, And I Can Use The Abilities I Had In My Past Life. So I Will Make Use of Major Online Stores Like Am**on And Aim for a Slow Life for Now - 21

I don’t have any definite evidence or proof to assert it, so it might just be my own feeling, and in reality, it could be entirely different, but somehow, I can’t shake off that feeling.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother to help me.

Perhaps Kaiser-sama feels indebted for having engaged with me as an excuse to rebuild the Lorraine family’s territory.

Although I do feel apologetic, there’s also a part of me that feels happy thinking, “For whatever reason, he’s looking out for me,” which surprises me. However, I feel like once I confirm why I have such feelings, I won’t be able to turn back, so I didn’t delve deeply into that emotion afterward.

◆ Kaiser’s Perspective

“It seems that the barley shochu production is going smoothly, Kaiser-sama.”

“Yeah. It’s a stroke of luck for the Lorraine family that there was a considerable amount of leftover barley… Originally, we would have to wait until the barley was harvested to start making barley shochu, so it’s quite fortunate that we can start without waiting for this year’s harvest.”

“That’s true. During that time, the residents can start working on building the sake brewery and making barley shochu. Just that alone will significantly reduce the number of starving people. I really don’t know how to thank you enough, Kaiser-sama… Ideally, I would have liked to offer you my daughter, but…”

“In that regard, it’s partly my fault for forcefully bringing it to an engagement. Moreover, since the person involved is reluctant, I don’t think it’s a good idea to engage again, but I don’t have any further feelings about it, so you don’t have to worry.”

“If you say so, I feel a bit relieved…”

A month has passed since then.

Although it was hastily done, a simple sake brewery was built (I bought a kit from my storage and assembled it, but it turned out to be a well-made sake brewery, under Mariel’s instructions), and the barley shochu production had already begun.

By the way, Olivia and Prevot’s engagement was naturally annulled, and thanks to the generous measures taken by the Quist family, they were acquitted, but it seems unlikely that Olivia or Prevot will be able to live as noblewomen or noblemen in the future.

In fact, there won’t be any nobles who would marry Olivia, and as for Prevot, he seems to be treated as the second son rather than the heir.

Truly, even though it’s considered innocent on the surface due to the leniency of faking documents and deceiving His Majesty the Emperor under the guise of the head of the family, the world is not so forgiving as to let it go as if nothing happened.

Normally, one should consider themselves lucky to be “forgiven for such a thing,” but it feels frustrating that Prevot himself doesn’t seem to realize the feelings of the adults, as if he’s disregarding them.

In a sense, it could be seen as a youthful way of thinking, but…

In other words, no noble would want to team up with someone who not only commits easily discovered mischief but also carries it out. It would be a disaster to get involved and have sparks fly.
