The Brain of a Duke Princess

Grandpa's Appearance

"… The state of the Royal City is the same as usual ~ However, this castle is a little sensitive."

"… Sensitive, you say?"

"The woman seems to get carried away and recently did various unusual things ~ ... Although the Baron's daughter was most likely trying to gain influence. When Sharia died, the King became very weak in his mind. … That's why at that time, Arya-sama and I were against him to marry that woman. ”

"The "woman" he was talking about was the King's concubine, Ellia-sama. Mother seemed to dislike Ellia-sama a long time ago. Instead, she seems to get along well with Sharia-sama.

Also, Arya-sama is the mother of the present King .. In other words, the Queen Dowager. She had the highest position among the women in this world. She is now retired and lives in the widow's palace. However, that does not mean that the effect is decreasing.

By the way, it seems like Arya-sama has loved mother since a long time ago. Arya-sama would not hesitate to say that mother is like her biological daughter. Even though Arya-sama is now retired, mother will sometimes still visit the widow's palace.

"… Although I heard about the Baron's daughter trying to gain influence .. But I think Ellia-sama will definitely oppose Yuri-sama and Ed-sama's engagement …"

When one thinks about the future, instead of a daughter Baron .. I think Ellia-sama will choose to involve Ed-sama to a stronger House.

"About the Baron's daughter .. What's her name again?"

"His name is Yuri Noir-sama."

“Ah, true too. About Yuri-sama .. She is very skilled. In flattering the pride of others, it is. Since that was the case, it was inevitable that the vain Ellia would give up. ”

"… Mother, have you ever met Yuri-sama?"

"Yes. Right now, since she seems to appear here and there, I met her by chance ~ As soon as Iris-chan left, she had accompanied the Second prince. ”

"Is it ... How was your encounter with him?"

“It doesn't matter because I'm an ally of Iris-chan ~ ~ However, even though I'm not, she's not someone I want to know. I'm not good with those kinds of people that I can't see their true selves. ”

"You mean he's too dreamlike?"

"Un ... I can't explain it ~ However, Iris-chan is fine because you don't need to approach her."

Looks like mom won't talk any further .. This worries me. To be honest, since I didn't have much contact with him, I didn't understand him very well. Although I am quite familiar with Ed-sama's personality.

"B-So .. Mother. What kind of person is the First Prince? ”

"Geez, has Iris-chan never met her before?"

"Yes, yeah…"

I have no memory at all. If I meet him, because he is part of the royal family.

"Now that you mention it, Alfred-sama retired from the limelight quite early .. And then he immediately went abroad to study."

"Why did he get away from the limelight so early?"

"Why did he get away from the limelight so early?"

Since he was considering studying abroad, he did not have to break away from the main stage.

"When Sharia dies, many things happen .. However, it is not his fault? After all, he was an extraordinary person like my husband. ”

"Just like dad, right?"

"Yes. I'm not saying he looks alike. But the atmosphere around him is similar. As long as he stays in this country, you will probably meet him one day. ”

"Well, as long as he stays in this country .. Ee-ehh?"

Didn't he go to study abroad? Or rather, how did you know about this information?

No, no, no. .. It is not such a problem that will be solved by keeping it a secret.

"Why he didn't show himself …"

“A long time ~ !! Melly, Iris !! ”

As I was asking the question, the door opened firmly and my grandfather appeared. … What, Eh?

As I was asking the question, the door opened firmly and my grandfather appeared. … What, Eh?

"Grandfather! Why are you here…"

"I heard Melly came here. I thought it was the right time and came here. ”

The Gazelle Daz Anderson. He is the mother's father, currently serving the Kingdom as his general, and my grandfather.

Anderson's House was the Marquis's House, however, grandfather said that the world of nobles was too difficult and enlisted in the military. He is very capable of making a name for himself. In a thirty-year war campaign against the neighboring Kingdom of Towair, he was appointed General and achieved great success. Even until now, he was an existence that was respected by the Knights and other members of the military.

To explain the difference between the Knight Order and the Royal Guard, the Knight Order was an armed force while the Royal Guards were in charge of protecting the castle. The people belonging to that group were the ones who accepted aristocratic recommendations.

And within the royal guard group, there was another unit in charge of protecting the royal family called, Personal Guard. Since the mission of the Personal Guards was to become the King's spear and shield in case anything happened, only Knights who were stronger than average were appointed.

Although Ryle and Dida were recruited to become Personal Guards. For recommendations, they might get one from dad, or even grandpa. … In the end, the two people refused.

An army is a group of people who will advance to the battlefield immediately when a war occurs. When someone wanted to enlist in the army, they would not be asked about their background. During peacetime, instead of being in a garrison, their job consisted of maintaining peace in the Royal City and crossing the Kingdom.

After explaining up to this point, it should provide one basic understanding that the grandfather who was the only son of the Marquis, should register as the Royal Guard. However, grandfather enlisted to be part of the armed forces.

Well, if one looked at his appearance, his gray hair, his disheveled beard, and his burly physique, one could only think of him as a Warrior and not a Marquis.

By the way, Melly is my mother's nickname. Her full name is Mellice Reese Armelia.

"Iris, you've had a hard time .. Sorry for not showing up sooner."

"Not everything! Grandpa was busy with many things. I don't mind at all. "

"Iris, you've had a hard time .. Sorry for not showing up sooner."

"Not everything! Grandpa was busy with many things. I don't mind at all. "

"Hahaha, I've let my son take my place as chief, and even if war is about to happen, it's not like the Kingdom will soon fall. I have some free time."

… But if I'm not wrong, grandfather. I heard that grandfather has been looking for people to train every day …

"Stay, Iris is getting more and more like Melly …"

While saying that, grandfather looked at me with a smile.

"I-I wonder if it really happened …"

Saying that I look like a mother, is unthinkable. … Maybe only she showed love to her granddaughter.

My platinum hair is the only one I have that resembles a mother. If we compare our eyes, my eyes are deep dark blue whereas mother has soft blue eyes with sea blue color, reminding me of the color of blue sky in spring.

“There is no need for you to get married soon. It's OK for you to keep doing the things you want to do. If you lose your place here, it's OK for you to come to my place. "

…Failure. That might be good too. When it comes time for the brother to inherit the Dukedom, I will lose my place here. When that happens, I will be fine to go to grandfather's place .. As it might give instructions to Azura Conglomerate from anywhere.

"Oh my goodness, dad. I can't let that comment pass. There is no way that there will come a day when Iris-chan loses her place. If anything, please take my stupid son away by all means. "
