95 86. Houtenburg Territory

Two days after Christina gave me the ring, I am now in Hautenburg territory.

Where is the territory of Hautenburg, a territory ruled by Cardinal Gallian Hautenburg, the father of Christina and grandfather of Caro, about five kilometres from the capital?

It is also here that the ancient dragon became a place of refuge when it arrived.

Why did you come to this territory, Cardinal Houtenburg wanted to see me, because Lady Christina told me at dinner the day I got the ring. He wants to see the face of his granddaughter's fiancée.

It seems that in this Cardinal Territory of Hautenburg there is a school in this country, and Cardinal Hautenburg is also the principal of the school.

That led me and my fiancées to go see each other. I hear the Douglas and the others train in the palace. You said you'd look for a ring, too.

Douglas and Kate saw our ring and got tangled up. The women had created an atmosphere where the cats and the men couldn't get in on the women.

I'll be there in a minute.

If I was thinking about that, Caro sitting in front would say so. If you do look outside for a moment, you can see about 5 meters of walls. Well, I could have seen it from the capital.

"Speaking of which, what is Caro's grandfather, Cardinal Houtenburg, like?

"Grandpa, he's a very sweet man, but he's a master of martial arts. It's normal for the Knights to have basic swords and shields, but all of Grandpa's private soldiers train to fight without weapons. Anything, it's the best knight I can protect my husband without a weapon! Say."

Master of martial arts? I do learn from my master too so I can fight without weapons. Weapons are expendable. Whenever you break it, you tell me to break it in battle.

Spending a lot of other time listening to grandpa and stuff, I hear knights and lords talking from the outside. Have you reached the gate yet?

If you look out the window, you're pretty lively here too. Standing along the road, the stalls are busy, and the park is full of fun for the kids.

As it is rocked by the carriage, you will see a large mansion at the moment. Next door is a big school. Is that Temple School? Student-like people come out of it.

"Isn't Temple School summer vacation?

"Temple School is also on summer vacation. I think they're just here to rent school facilities. I can check the library and stuff."

... but you could also use Cardia School during the summer vacation. We've been moving here since the first day of our summer vacation, so I totally forgot.

Watching the school as the carriage rocks, the carriage stops on the way. Looks like we made it to the mansion. Thanks to the foreboding, the samurai gather in front of the gate to wait. In the center there is a man with a forged flesh and a woman smiling softly.

... Are you sure it's Caro's grandfather and old lady? I'm very young. She looks like she's in her 30s, and even alongside Caro, she only looks like a parent and child.

Caro got out of the carriage, so we go on down and walk to the two of us.

"Grandpa, Grandma. We're out of time."

"Oh, you've come a long way, Caroline. We missed you at all, even though you were close."

"It's true. I'm not letting Carol fight because the Pope has the protection of a goddess."

Two people hugging Caro while saying that. When I heard the story, Carol and the Cardinals said it would be the first time in a year that they had met.

The reason, he said, was that Caro had been summoned as the Virgin to skirmish on the borders of the Demonic Realm and the Regalia Empire. And when I finally thought I was back, it would have been today if the story of my engagement to me had come out and been a bummer.

I feel a little sorry for you, but let's keep it quiet.

"Yes, Grandpa, I'll introduce you to Grandma. This is my fiancée, Ravelt Runwalker. He's my favorite! And the women behind you, from the right, are Alexia Nanol, Ferris Warvest, Helendine Largles and Aerys Runwalker.

So this is my grandfather, Gallian Hautenburg, and this is your wife, Merriess Hautenburg. "

In Caro's introduction, Mr. Gallian looks at me. Looks like it's worth it. Mr. Merriess smiles with joy. I was introduced to Caro, so I take a step out and say hello.

"I'll see you first. I'll be Caroline's fiancée, Ravelt Runwalker."

"Oh, I'm Gallian Houtenburg. Regards."

Shake hands while you say that, it hurts! This grandfather is going to grip as hard as he can! Even though your face is a terrific smile. You son of a bitch!

"Colour!"

When I can help myself, Mr. Gallian's complexion changes. I keep smiling, but sweat runs out of my forehead.

"... how long have you been shaking hands?

Caro asks me if I've been concerned that Mr. Gallian and I have been shaking hands. With that in mind, me and Mr. Gallian let go.

"... you seem to have some sights inside"

"... thank you for that"

Me and Mr. Gallian are laughing at each other and they look at me strangely.

I shake hands with Mr. Merriess as I am. Although Mr. Merrier normally gripped me on the boulder.

After that, Alexia will greet you in turn and guide you to the mansion. Inside they are decorated with lavish pots, paintings, and a variety of things to see. Then he enters the room where he was guided and sits in turn from Mr. Gallian.

"Again, you've come a long way, Caroline. And Rayveld, you and Alexia."

"Thank you for inviting me, Cardinal Gallian"

I say hello on behalf of everyone. Mr. Merrier nods happily about it. By contrast, you're staring at me, Mr. Gallian. My face is laughing but my eyes are not laughing.

Well, I guess you love Caro because of what it felt like earlier. I'm going to be the man who took that beloved caro.... I didn't know my parents would fit this eye with a grandfather who was approved.

"So what we asked you to do was to look at your fiancée's face, but there's one more thing I'd like you to do."

That's what I'm gonna say, Mr. Gallian. Mr. Merriess looks at me like he's in trouble, too.... a bad feeling.
