The Brain of a Duke Princess

Counterfactual

"Excuse me."

While a solemn atmosphere filled the room, I sat right in front of my father with a clever face that fit someone who had the post of Prime Minister, in addition to the sharp glint in the eyes that he used to work on, making the atmosphere around him even heavier ... And now, since it seemed to have risen to about twice that ordinary, it made me feel like I was running away"... I apologize for spending most of my time today."

"Not everything."

Although smooth, the blood vessels on the father's face frowned slightly. That's why I said, it's so scary.

"Whether when it comes to father's position as Prime Minister or as your title as Duke, I don't think I'm causing father problems. What I'm sorry about [chichi]'s father is my father [otou-sama]. "

"Is that so…? And why is that? "

"First, I only raised rumors to spread mischief.There is also a matter of indirect evidence, so I don't think this will affect my father's position as Prime Minister ... Above all, our side belongs to the Ducal House, and will not collapse just because the quarrel did not go well. . Even in the academy, I handle things in a way that they sympathize with me. This way, they couldn't make a big deal out of him. No matter how noisy Edward-sama is, it will only end with a loud reprimand. "

"... About what happened inside the academy, I've heard of it."

"I already know a lot. Also, I apologize for saying this to my father, Duke ... But first of all, isn't father against the engagement between Edward-sama and myself? "

"Well, that's right."

"Because of my descendants, if it came into contact with the royal family through marriage, it could destroy the balance of power of the royal family. In addition, in addition to having a Duke and father of the Prime Minister, the mother was also the daughter of the general.it was still acceptable if a marriage was formed with the First Prince. However, with the Second Prince, sooner or later, the Kingdom would be divided into two. "

After listening to my words, for the first time since I arrived, dad smiled ... That said, it's one nasty smile to the top along with a sound effect that makes people feel nauseous ... Although the person in question may not have that intention. ... Therefore, as I thought, I felt really scared.

"Then, why did you let the engagement with Edward-sama happen?"

About this question, I also thought about it on my way here. If the situation calls for him, I will definitely choose the first one.

"... Because one of them is gonna be okay?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because if I am engaged to the First Prince, then the young brother will also serve him and the First Prince's position will be firm. If my fiancee is the Second Prince, the younger brother will be in the First Prince's faction. In that situation, I would be in charge of watching over the Second Prince to observe if he made any unusual moves. Well ... The first one probably won't waste time and effort, and honestly, this is easier, it would be better for dad. "

In fact, the story in the game does not delve much into the story of the First Prince. Instead, it is depicted that the Second Prince will be the next King. It was actually very common that the First Prince was the son of a legal wife who died while the Second Prince was the son of a current concubine. One would think that the First Prince would naturally become King even while he was still in his mother's womb, but reality was not that easy.

the current concubine is the daughter of a Marquis, a House who is currently in the process of building up their power, while the legal wife is the daughter of an Earl. Thus, when one looked at their family status, the House of the legitimate Wife was inferior to her concubine. The King unexpectedly falls in love with his rightful wife and uses violence to remove any objections to making her his Queen, resulting in the current balance.

And the aristocratic society that created the delicate balance was currently swaying and trembling, visible to the eyes.

In the game, this kind of unpleasant situation is not described. Even in the end, the game has established that the First Prince is studying in another country. That's how it should be, so I didn't expect this to be bad. But as expected, reality is harsh.

As for father, it is not appropriate to say that he serves the country and not the royal family. Serving as Prime Minister, he remained neutral in the royal family's disputes. For example, if the situation was connected to the First Prince's faction, based on the laws of the Kingdom, it was likely that he would be considered heartless towards the Kingdom and expelled ... If the royal family ever fought against each other, the Kingdom government would stop. If someone thought about it, it was the right decision.

"Although so, the younger brother actually leaned on the Second Prince. Having said that, I should have persuaded the dissolution of my engagement to the Second Prince. I'm happy for you, Dad. "

Since that was the case, when it came to my affair, if it was dad, he probably wouldn't have disenfranchised me. If it's just power, our house has it too. I implied that I was doing what I was doing because it was something my father wanted.

"Maha."

My laughing looks so happy. However, even though he laughed, I could only see him as a villain. If a third party were to see it, they would probably be completely destroyed.

"Rubber. Certainly, I do wish for your engagement with the Second Prince to be annulled, although I have instructed to keep my distance from the Second Prince in case of a disaster ... But that person, he had completely forgotten his duty and was now completely part of the Second Prince's circle ... However, are you okay with this, Iris? Aren't you in love with the Second Prince? "

"Love is like a disease. When it cools down, that's the end of it ... In fact I myself would argue that this is a good thing that happens sooner rather than later. "

Moreover, the love of a hundred years might cool down as well.

"…Hmmm. However, Iris. This time, the current state of affairs is your fault. Therefore, I need to take some action. "

"…Is that so…"

As I thought, I could not escape the "deprivation of social status, church closure, and disobedience" alone ... Besides, Tanya seemed to insist that she come, I need to convince her to stay.

"I'll return you to this territory and then be under house confinement. Of course, since you will be far away from the Royal City, what you want to do in that remote place is of no concern to me. "

"... Uh?"

Doesn't that mean that whatever I want to do will be "okay," and there won't be any confinement?

"Also, it would be useless if you just stayed there and did nothing. Because I will give you the position of 'Vice President of the feudal', so at the very least, govern the territory properly. "
