“… So it’s about the guy that Alice feels so much for… what should we do?”

King Azpearl asked everyone.

“……………If we’re prepared for the possible destruction of the royal capital then…………. we can drop that ‘Takeo’s’ finger…………..’

William said.

“Alice with a ring with [Prestige] on it is…………’

“Then, we do nothing to dispose of it right?”

The 1st president said.

“…………..We don’t have the records of it leaving the Royal capital so we can’t really dispose of it.

Besides, those rings are the engagement rings of Alice and ‘Takeo’ right?

If we were to take the engagement rings, it would create distrust……..we don’t really have any objection to the engagement itself right?

Moreover, the power of [Prestige] with the [Red Crimson] can always be passed off as the power of the odd eye so it won’t be found out………

We can treat this case as a simple ring with the crest of the Royal family on it.

…………..However.”

“But it’s not a good idea to just abandon the ring with [Prestige] on it.”

The royal wizard said.

“That’s right. What should we do about the 3rd one? Should we keep it at the Royal capital……..?”

“But then both my grandfather and Alice would find it suspicious?”

Layla said.

“……….That’s true………..then shall we ask the Elvis household to manage it as an item with the royal crest on it?

But someone may arbitrarily try it on………..”

“Then we can give it to my younger brother Smith.”

Layla plainly said.

“…………Layla?”

“What is it father in law?”

“You have a younger brother?”

“Yes, he’ll be 12 this year. He will be coming to the royal dormitory next spring.”

“…………I see. Those that have [Prestige] should get suitable education.

And some intimidation can be disguised as awe towards you Layla, his sister……..”

“It’ll be great if Smith doesn’t get the image of a bully……….”

Layla muttered.

“No, it’ll be fine.

There aren’t that many people that enter the royal dormitory.”

Ling Azpearl said.

“I’ve decided now so I’ll let you know.

• This ring will only be treated as a ring with the royal crest on it.

No one will know that it has [Prestige] on it. It will not be announced.

• We will allow this as a special case considering it Alice and Takeo’s engagement ring.

This will be considered a supplementary prize for Alice’s achievements 2 years ago replacing the problem of loss.

• The 3rd ring will be given to the next head of the Elvis household, Smith, as a congratulatory gift for entering the Royal dormitory. It will be a gift from William and Layla.

That’s all.

Is there anything else?”

“I’m truly grateful for the generous treatment.”

Layla expressed her thanks to the King.

“Even your brother will be getting one.”

“The magic of [Prestige] that doesn’t exist anywhere other than the Royal capital os going to the next head of the Elvis household.

There is no reward greater than this for the house of Elvis.”

“Besides it won’t be a problem if it goes to Smith’s wife either.”

King Azpearl said.

“…………….Somehow I just heard something amazing.”

Layla replied.

“No….I just thought that the granddaughter of my younger brother is about that age.

Of course, we will respect their wills.”

“Grand duke Azpearl’s?”

“Yeah. We were discussing her marriage while having sake………….tea.

Since she is a tomboy, there is nothing else to do. The engagement won’t be decided just like that. He said.”

“Arranged Marriage? My grandfather, mother, father, and us siblings, none of us had an arranged marriage. Are those prevalent?”

Layla naively asked.

“It’s prevalent and not.

I knew that my idiotic sons would decide their marriages on their own.”

“That’s right. We 3 idiots did decide on our own.”

William affirmed King Azpearls’ words.

“In your and Layla’s case, I had just been back on the way from war and you suddenly announced it…………. I had no choice but to admit it.”

“Haha.”

William laughed.

“I was told the same by the grandfather.

That it was a sudden and surprising decision.”

Layla smiled.

“That’s right. Earl Elvis and I could only laugh bitterly.”

King Azpearl happily said.

“By the way, is that young lady kind of like a tomboy………..?”

“Kind of………..? It’s to such a degree that it makes him say that she may not be able to get married since she is such a tomboy though?

She had good intelligence and physical strength but she seems to exercise her physical strength…..

If she feels uncomfortable or unreasonable it’s not unusual for her to beat them up.

But if I have to talk about the appearance then she is pretty cute.”

“Ah, it’s that extreme.”

“Hn? Why do you seem unaffected Layla? Isn’t it something to laugh about?”

“Alice is there at the Elvis household you know?”

The king paused immediately at those words.

“It’s the greatest deterrent.”

“Alice was also a tomboy. She even had those names [Red Crimson].

I’m glad that she got engaged this time.

I need to express my gratitude to ‘Mr. Takeo’.”

“No nobles have sent any marriage proposals to Alice for the last 2 years.”

“Ah? They were sent before that?”

“Layla…………….it was because you and my stupid son got married.

They wanted to get closer to the prince.”

“Using Alice as a tool?”

Layla said sourly.

“Layla…………..there are many amongst the noble that are like that.

Earl Elvis isn’t a person like that though.

He only wished for Alice to be with a person that she loved.”

“That’s right. Grandfather hates using his family for political purposes.”

Layla said.

“That’s true. I would hate to interact with nobles that get close to me with such motives.”

William said.
