Magi’s Grandson

Vol 2 Chapter 42

Flying in the Sky

That night when Sicily and I officially became a couple, everyone went back to their individual rooms in the end.

The first kiss was postponed.

Good morning, s.h.i.+n-kun.

Good morning, Sicily.

The next morning, I met up with Sicily in the dining room, and she greeted me with a smile different from all the ones she gave before.

That smile alone gives me an overflowing feeling of.

Hey, until when will you guys stare at each other? If you dont hurry up and eat, breakfast will turn cold.

Until Gus gave that repartee, I had been staring at Sicily since we came across each other.

Oops, this wont do, the reason we came here is to improve our magic. I cannot be too occupied with a love affair.

Alright, lets go, Sicily.

Yes, s.h.i.+n-kun.

Because it had been decided that we have to report to Cecil-san and Irene-san, it was necessary for us to eat breakfast at once.

We must go before Cecil-san leaves the house because there is a possibility that he will be busy with work.

Since thats the case, I opened Gate at the usual place and connected it to the Claude mansion at the Royal Capital.

When I knocked on the door from inside, an employee of the Claude mansion opened the door.

Oh, my? Walford-san? Young mistress Sicily as well. Did something happen?

Nothing, just a little

Theres something Id like to talk to father and mother about. Is father still at home?

Yes, however, I believe he will be leaving for work soon.

Thank you.

After she said that, Sicily left and walked towards the dining room.

Although they are people whom I am already acquainted with, because Ill be reporting our relations.h.i.+p status, I prepared myself. The tension I am experiencing is phenomenal.

s.h.i.+n-kun, are you feeling alright?

Ye-yeah. But for some reason, Im feeling nervous

When I said that, Sicily walked back to me and held my hand.

Its going to be alright. Because both father and mother really like s.h.i.+n-kun as well. Im sure they will be pleased.

I hope thats really the case

Because theres a difference between being friends and being a couple In addition, Sicily is the youngest child, and shes super cute

Like this, we reached the dining room. We let go of our clasp hands and entered the dining room.

Good morning, father, mother.

Go-good morning! Cecil-san, Irene-san.

Because of my nervousness, my voice trembled

Oh? Good morning, the both of you. Werent you guys supposed to be in the training camp?

Oh my, good morning Sicily, s.h.i.+n-kun. Whats wrong?

With bewildered expressions, the both of them turned towards us.

Urgh! It cant be helped if Im nervous! Lets just go for it with and be prepared to get hit!

A-actually, theres something Id like to talk about with the both of you.

Something to talk about?

Oh my, I wonder what it is?

Cecil-san still has a bewildered expression on his face, while Irene-san seems to have noticed something.

After I took a deep breath, I reported my relations.h.i.+p with Sicily to the two.

I have been given the privilege to go out with Sicily-san. I am visiting today because I wanted to report it and get your approval.

When they heard it, Cecil-sans face turned stiff, while Irene-san who had already guessed it, had a smile on her face.

Because Cecil-sans face was still stiff, no one said a single word, and the sounds of the hands of the clock echoed in the silence.

s.h.i.+n-kun

Cecil-san who finally digested what was said called out my name, and I stood up.

Ye-yes

While Cecil-san was approaching me, I thought that he was going to hit me, so I prepared myself

s.h.i.+n-kun!!

He suddenly grabbed me and embraced me.

Thank you! Thank you very much, s.h.i.+n-kun! Thank you for choosing Sicily!

Far from being hit, he embraced me and gave me his thanks.

Oh my, seriously, dear. That aside, congratulations Sicily, your wish has finally been fulfilled, hasnt it?

Th-thank you, mother And also, please dont say that kind of thing in front of s.h.i.+n-kun!

Irene-san also gave her blessing. Even the employees were applauding, I am really glad to receive everyones blessing. Although Cecil-san continued to embrace me.

Ah, today is such a wonderful day! Although the day has just started, Ive already received such splendid news!

Cecil-san finally separated from me.

This is that, right! This is not the time to head to work, right!?

As I thought, it will turn out like that.

Dear?

Irene-sans tone of voice is scary.

N-no On such a happy day, it wont do if there isnt a celebration

About that, we will take care of it. As for you, hurry up and head to work.

No But

Hurry up and go!

Yes!

Irene-san is super scary.

And that Irene-san suddenly looked here.

s.h.i.+n-kun?

Ye-yes!

I inadvertently straightened up my upper body.

And then Irene-sans scary face turned into a smile and said.

Oh my, Im sorry about that. Its because a person suddenly said something stupid, thats why.

N-no! Its okay!

Is that so? That aside, theres something I need to talk to s.h.i.+n-kun about, will that be okay?

Yes, what is it?

With a serious expression, Irene-san began to talk.

Our House holds the t.i.tle of a Viscount. Although shes the third daughter, if you go out with Sicily, you must be prepared for whats to come in the future.

When you speak of whats ahead, it means

I mean marriage.

Ma! Ma-ma-ma-marriage!

Im not saying that it has to happen immediately. However, Sicily is a daughter of a n.o.ble. I cannot allow her to go out with someone without getting engaged.

Although Sicily is panicking, this was something I expected.

This Kingdom has a monogamy system, this applies to the n.o.bles and the royal family.

In order for their bloodline not to die out, it is necessary for them to produce has many children as possible.

The n.o.bles of this Kingdom have relatively accepted the freedom to love, so there arent many parents who decide a marriage partner for their children, and they wont forcefully separate their children if they choose to go out with a commoner.

Nevertheless, n.o.bles will not allow a girl to be in a relations.h.i.+p with someone who is not prepared for marriage.

That being the case, yesterday when Gus said,thats what it means to go out with a daughter of an aristocrat,I have already prepared myself for it.

Gus is also useful from time to time.

It looks like youve already made a resolution?

Yes.

s.h.i.+n-kun

I also want to include that in the report. Because Im a commoner I thought that you might not accept it

Thats right, its because of that that I felt anxious.

Even though the n.o.bles have accepted the freedom to love, it still depended on the n.o.bles, and it seems like there are still those who opposed to having a relations.h.i.+p with a commoner.

Even in my previous life in j.a.pan, even though there are no aristocrats, there were still those with really good parentage. Even more so in this world where aristocrats exist.

When I voiced my concern For some reason, Irene-san, Cecil-san, and even the employees began to laugh.

s.h.i.+n-kun, are you seriously saying that?

Eh?

It looks like you really are serious.

I see, I guess when it comes to your own situation, you dont understand it at all? Listen here, s.h.i.+n-kun, your grandparents are legendary heroes of this country.

It seems thats the case.

The people in this country No, the people from around the world respects your grandparents. That said, you are the person who is said to have surpa.s.sed the both them, enough to have already received the honors as a new hero.

Haaa

If it wasnt for the words that His Majesty had said during the honors bestowal, you would have probably received an overflowing amount of marriage proposals from aristocrats all over the Kingdom, you know?

Heee.

The royal family I thought that theyre nothing but troublesome people It looks like I really have to thank Uncle Dis.

It looks like you really dont know much about it Truthfully, it should have been us who would have lower our heads and ask you to accept our proposal And to have someone like that want to have a relations.h.i.+p with our child, what reasons are there for us to object?

The people in the surroundings were nodding in agreement.

Even if we exclude all of those things, not just to Sicily, but s.h.i.+n-kun is a gentle child who also worries about us. I was really hoping for you to become Sicilys partner.

Thats right, thats right, the two of us often have that kind of conversation, you know?

Since thats how it is, we both will give you our blessings.

Since it has already been decided, we need to prepare for a celebration!

Ah, it is because of that that we came early in the morning.

What do you mean?

To tell you the truth, the employees in Claude Town have already begun preparing. After todays training session, they will be holding a celebration party. Thats why we thought to report it before Cecil-san heads off to work

So thats how it is, sorry for taking all the trouble to do so.

No, its all right. So after your work is over, I will come pick you up, is that okay with your schedule?

Of course! Even if His Majesty send an order, I will cancel it and come return!

Dear its time for you to get going.

Eh? But

D.E.A.R?

Yes.

Cecil-san looked really depressed.

It will be alright because, at that time, Uncle Dis will also be coming.

I-Is that so!?

Uncle Dis, you say

It seems like s.h.i.+n-kun has an uncle-nephew relations.h.i.+p with His Majesty. I was also really surprised when I saw their relations.h.i.+p at s.h.i.+n-kuns house. I have never seen His Majesty like that.

And to also a.s.sociate with Prince Augusto without any hesitation I wonder, was there really a need for you to worry?

No, this and that is a different story, or rather

Well, its fine. Rather than that, I wonder if s.h.i.+n-kun can send our employees to this residence to the fief?

Yes, its fine.

On the other hand, dear, what about work?

Ahhh!

Cecil-san turned stiff when he looked at the clock and yelled.

Th-this is bad! I wont make it in time!

Cecil-san, is your workplace in the royal castle?

Ye-ye-yeah, it is but

If thats the case, Ill send you there.

Is that true! You saved me!

I opened Gate and connected it to the usual place guarded by the Soldiers. Although it is an unplanned visit, I think itll be fine.
