Chapter 126: There’s No Way I’d Get Engaged to a Woman Who Seems Like a Landmine

“Hmm, that’s a new idea. Let’s talk a bit more.”

“Yes, there’s not much more to say, but if I were to create this castle, I would incorporate not just addition but also subtraction. It’s good to show off one’s power and make it known to those around, but if overdone, it might end up looking like a mere facade. There’s also beauty in simplicity and fleetingness in things that scatter.”

“I see… As expected of my son!! Indeed, now that you mention it, it does seem that way!! Hey, Emperor Edward!!”

“…Yes!? C-C-Emperor!!?”

The way he listened to my explanation with pride was truly that of a doting parent, but it seemed I had already forgotten my recent vow to be more cautious when dealing with nobles.

And it was Father who came to this conclusion, and he is of the ducal family.

I mean, who would think that the doting father would sell me out, right!?

“I’ve heard your talk, Kaiser. It seems this Imperial Castle appears vulgar in your eyes.”

“N-no! I-I-I didn’t mean that at all!!”

It seems Emperor Edward von Gladius had listened carefully to what I had said earlier, and now he was making pointed, sarcastic remarks.

Despite aiming for a slow life, it looked like my plans for a slow life might be shattered halfway through, causing me to sweat nervously inside.

“Don’t be so scared. If I punished everyone for such things, no matter how many retainers I had, it wouldn’t be enough. …Well, it’s a different story for retainers I don’t like.”

With a kindly demeanor, Emperor Edward reassured me that there was no need to be so frightened, but the latter part of his statement made it impossible for me to feel at ease!

“By the way, the impression of Kaiser I got from rumors and meeting you in person is completely different. Rumors said you lack intelligence and refinement, being driven only by desire and acting recklessly with power and violence, but meeting you in person, I see high intelligence, education, and an enormous capacity. With this, it seems I could send my daughter as your fiancée without worry.”

“Huh? Eh? T-this is too much honor for someone like me!!”

This is no joke!! Who in their right mind would get engaged to a woman who seems like a confirmed landmine just because of her title as the Emperor’s daughter!!
