I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 66

“It seems like the palace has finally settled down. When Marquis Welta, Duke Brenst, and Marquis Venegict were captured, I thought this country was finished.”

Right now, the topic of conversation at the tea party is who the new crown prince’s fiancée will be, right? It seems like each family is putting their name forward.

If only Prince Randolph hadn’t been injured, he would have been the perfect fiancé for Yuria… It’s really such a shame.

No, even if he gets injured, he is still a prince, so why not make him Prince Randolph’s fiancée from now on?

Or how about that young count, the son of the Earl of Guinevere, who used to be his aide? It seems he doesn’t have a fiancée yet either.

While my wife is engrossed in choosing a fiancé for Yuria, I and our two sons are also enjoying tea in the salon.

“Perine, please stop. Prince Randolph is in recovery. The incident caused by the candidates for engagement is already a lot to handle.”

It’s not our place to meddle.

Moreover, if Yuria didn’t have the skills of a magician, our family might have been blamed for all the crimes by the dukes!

“Right now, the best thing to do is to stay still and keep silent.”

I haven’t told my family about what happened back then. It’s better not to talk about it.

If she finds out, my dreamy wife will definitely blame the royal family.

And then, seizing the moment, they end up spreading the contents of the meeting at the tea party.

Now that the palace has been attacked, it is problematic for both the royal family and us if that incident gets leaked.

Right now, I have no choice but to maintain my silence.

My wife, Perine, was making a dissatisfied face and was about to say something more, but unusually, Jonas opened his mouth to interrupt her.

“When will Sister Yuria return home?”

“Jonas, this is unusual. What about Yuria? Yuria is being protected until the danger to her life passes. She probably won’t return until the situation in the country stabilizes.”

“What? Big bro, are you sad because Sister Yuria is gone? Worrying about someone like her is just ridiculous.”

My younger brother Allen is snickering, but Jonas seems to be worried about something.

“Th-that’s not it! You know, right? I’m relieved that my sister is gone, but Yuria’s classmates are worried and came to see her.”

There were also people who were grateful for the treatment they received.

W-well, I think Yuria-sama is a foolish country bumpkin too, but everyone keeps saying, “Thanks to Yuria-sama’s barrier, we weren’t injured, and it’s because Yuria-sama defeated the magical beasts.” All I hear are positive things.

All the noble classmates were praising Sister Yuria.

Jonas has recently started to become aware of his future role as the next earl and has been studying diligently, no longer firing teachers on a whim.

Lately, I’ve been thinking things through more carefully.

It’s a good trend.

A word from Yuria might have changed something within Jonas.

“Jonas, Yuria will not inherit this house. It’s not a problem if she doesn’t come back, but there are future matters concerning the house. I plan to call her back eventually. You should continue your studies without worrying about Yuria.”

“But…”

“I won’t allow you to speak any further.”

“Yes, Father.”

“Foolish older brother. The only reason they say Sister Yuria is excellent is because of a few things, and her perfect manners are thanks to the maids, right? You’re a fool for being deceived by what others say about Sister Yuria’s excellence.”

Allen was constantly mocking Yuria while laughing loudly.

“The maid is excellent, huh?”

Jonas murmured.
