The Goddess Granted Me the [Hatching] Skill and Somehow I Became the Strongest Tamer, Commanding Mythical and Divine Beasts - 134

Chapter 134: The Marriage Issues of Tamer Nobles

“So, can we get to the main topic?”

“Kyupi!”

When Neige and I prompted her at the same time, Charlotte nodded.

“Yes, you want to read Scarlet’s growth records, right? Grandfather told me.”

No one knew more about raising dragons than the Boyle Count family, who had actually raised one.

Since nothing was known about the ecology of Neige, a divine dragon, I had come to read the records.

“We have them prepared in this room.”

The room Charlotte showed me to had a ceiling window made of crystal.

“From this room, you can see the garden, so you can read while watching the familiars play. I often read books here too.”

There was an elegant table with two chairs, and a side table held a tea set.

I could easily picture Charlotte gracefully sipping tea, nibbling on snacks, and reading.

“Is that… the growth records?”

On what must have been a temporary table sat dozens of thick books with luxurious bindings.

They all seemed to be Scarlet’s growth records.

“Should I… keep growth records for my familiars too?”

I could not imagine writing this much.

I even struggled with the regular reports I submitted to the guild staff.

“The first Rint did not like that sort of thing either, it seems. The detailed records start after he took a wife. So I do not think Lord Klaus needs to worry about it.”

Charlotte followed up like that.

“By the way, Charlotte, do you have a fiancé?”

The talk turned to partners, so I asked out of curiosity.

“Eh?”

Charlotte looked flustered at my sudden words.

“Nobles seem to marry pretty young, so I wondered.”

She might have one, but she had never brought up anything like that.

“If you mean proposals, I have received a fair number.”

As expected, someone with her looks and personality that anyone would like must get a lot of attention.

“But the Boyle family cannot enter marriage ties lightly, so Grandfather stops them.”

“Hm? What does that mean?”

The Boyle Count family seemed special, and I got curious about the reason.

“I think this applies to you too, Lord Klaus, but a house that has made powerful monsters into familiars holds considerable influence in the country.”

“Yeah, I get that.”

From what Kings IV and the other guardians said, with a divine dragon and mythical beasts as my familiars, I would end up surrounded by many people in the future.

“Human lifespans are short, and monster lifespans vary. Dragons and phoenixes end up serving a house across generations.”

“So that’s why the house they marry into gains power too?”

Charlotte nodded at my words.

“Also, there is a theory that tamer aptitude is somewhat hereditary. Otherwise, descendants who can make many monsters into familiars would not keep appearing in a house like ours.”

They did build tamer schools and train those with aptitude, but even so, only a limited few could tame high-rank monsters.

“So for now, I have no fiancé.”

“I see, so that’s how it is…”

It seemed more complicated than I thought, and I furrowed my brow.

Her worries might become my problems in the future.

Knock knock knock.

Before I knew it, a huge red body appeared outside. Scarlet, the Red Dragon with golden eyes covered in scales, was knocking on the window with her claw.

“Scarlet seems to have some business. Please wait a moment.”

Charlotte put a hand to her ear and locked eyes with Scarlet somehow.

It was probably telepathy.

People acknowledged by Scarlet in the Boyle family could talk directly in their heads, but would I be able to talk with Neige like that someday too?

“Kyurun?”

As I thought about that, my eyes met Neige’s. Its eyes were a clear pale green.

“Um, Lord Klaus. Could you come outside?”

“Yeah. No problem, but?”
