Chapter 47: Engagement Announcement
“So, that’s why we’ve come to engage.”
“U-um, master… no, I mean, I’m Alexi, Urrica’s fiancé…”
On that evening, we returned together to the viscount’s residence and announced our engagement.
“Well, how wonderful!”
“Urrica, Alexi-kun, congratulations!”
The lovey-dovey Kabaneru couple in the flower garden celebrated grandly, but
“Hmm, so it has come to this.”
“We can’t oppose it if Urrica is the partner.”
The viscount and baron Kabaneru brothers had stern expressions. It’s understandable. Both my master and I are talents they don’t want to lose. There’s no way they can object.
“So, from now on, there’s no need for further marriage arrangements.”
“We will continue to dedicate ourselves to the Kabaneru family and Charlois territory in the future.”
“Well, fine. For now, it’s an ‘engagement.’ Things might change someday.”
“Alexi-kun, you’re still young. It’s not too late to get to know the ‘world’ in the future.”
Unsettling brothers. However,
“Well, uncle, father. There’s no such talk for the lovey-dovey couple!”
“That’s right. Alexi-kun is diligently serving Urrica, you know?”
“Eh?”
Suddenly, I was attacked from behind. No, it’s more like supporting fire. However,
“W-what the heck!!!”
“Has that trash heap turned into a livable condition?!”
“Is there a labyrinth in the Kabaneru family that no one has ever seen the whole of in its history?!”
Not only the brothers but also the servants at the scene were trembling. By the way, in the history of the Kabaneru family?
“Anyway, a couple with an age difference is so romantic, isn’t it? What kind of romantic encounter did you have?”
“Don’t talk about a maiden’s age.”
Stab. A hand chop mercilessly exploded in Carol’s throat, who was teasing drunken talk, by my master.
“Ngoo!”
“Hahaha. It’s forbidden to talk about Urrica’s age, Alexi-kun.”
“Sigh…”
Even so, I’m sure the Kabaneru family was not originally a noble family with territory in the Charlois region. To put it bluntly, it’s a family that was incorporated into the kingdom as a local powerful family and was granted the title of viscount. With the history of the Kabaneru family, that workshop was a cesspool for a long time…
“Don’t think about unnecessary things.”
Stab.
“Oggh!”
A sharp hand chop stabbed into my throat too.
Therefore, I can’t continue to rely on the Kabaneru family as a guest forever. I got their permission and decided to build a house next to my master’s workshop. The viscount’s family said they would arrange for the construction as a celebration, but I have magical tools.
“Fortress Citadel.”
Rock Wall Lv10, Fortress Citadel. The strongest fortress that is indestructible during battle, active in boss battles. In other words, it won’t break until the skill is released. The name is strict, but the size and interior can be freely changed. I’m glad I raised my DEX for times like this. Everything is made of stone, but I can finely craft everything from the kitchen to the bathroom and built-in storage.
The land is leveled with landscaping, and the private road to the main road is also maintained. It may be a dull earth attribute, but it demonstrates unparalleled competence in civil engineering work.
The next day, the Kabaneru brothers were slack-jawed at the sturdy but small house called a fortress and the magnificent and smooth cobblestone road compared to the capital.
“Really. You tried to build a mansion as a celebration, didn’t you, Alexi-san?”
“Hoho. My darling is competent.”
“D-darling…”
I don’t know how old she is in reality, but she looks like a beautiful girl. I stiffened as my master clung to my arm conspicuously. No, even with some experience in my past life, elves are a no-go. It’s cheating-level cuteness. Despite being small-chested.
“You, you must have thought of something naughty.”
Stab.
“Ouch!”
On another day, there was a request to lay cobblestones in the Charlois territory capital. But that’s another story.
