Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family - Chapter 62



10. April is the cruelest month – 08

Recently, a hot issue within the imperial palace was catching everyone’s eyes and ears.

‘Secret love between Archduke YoRHa, Reiner Kreuzse and the imperial princess!’

Princess of the Empire, Lumina del Cartesiaya From the beginning, she was the object of envy and the center of attention of all nobles in the Empire. I giggled.

In the past, the fact that he was to marry the Grand Duchess of YoRHa as a descendant of a fallen aristocratic family once surfaced as a topic, but at the same time that was all.

Recently, as soon as he entered the imperial family due to a problem related to the Marquis of Illivatus, he caused controversy with his rude attitude toward the emperor, but even that was a little insufficient to catch the eyes and ears of the nobles.

Because envoys from other countries represent the pride of their own country.

There was no human who openly showed off his arrogance in front of the emperor like the Grand Duke of YoRHa this time, but even so, there was no Shinigami who was excessively servile or lowly in front of the emperor.

It was a little surprising that the emperor proposed to the Grand Duke of Yohrha if he had any intention of marrying the princess, but originally, the current emperor preferred a person with a slightly unusual personality, so even that was not something to make a big fuss about. Also did…

In the end, there were quite a lot of stories surrounding the Grand Duke of Yohrha, but there was nothing to strike a decisive blow, so the rumors surrounding him might have suddenly cooled down one day, just as they suddenly flared up one day.

The imperial palace was originally a place where trends circulated too quickly, and the aristocrats residing there were people who were so consumed with peripheral pleasure that they wouldn’t blink an eye at the slightest gossip.

But now, an incident that caught the eyes and ears of all the nobles in the imperial palace had to happen.

‘Scandal with Rainer Kreuzse and the Princess!’

According to a rumor whose source is completely unknown, the day the Grand Duke of YoRHa and Princess Rumina first met face to face, they couldn’t help the lust that was blazing in their hearts and ended up coveting each other and rolling around on the bed like animals. Did it

And as if to add credibility to the rumor, according to the servant who was cleaning up the princess’s bedroom, the next morning the two of them were not wearing a single thread.

The emperor liked him very much and eventually tried to make him his father-in-law, and the princess, who could be said to be the party, even lay down on the bed with him even though they had not officially married.

In other words, even though he is from a foreign country, Rainer Kroyce is currently receiving a lot of favor from the emperor and princess, who can be said to be the real power of the empire, and if he really marries the princess, he will be in the future. Doesn’t it mean that there is a good chance of rising as the real power of the empire?

Of course, he was a married man who was legally married to the Grand Duchess of Yohrha, but to the nobles of the empire, such things were not very important.

‘Anyway, they say that the two were made through an arranged marriage.’

‘At this point, Grand Duchess Yoruha would benefit a hundred times if she cut her losses.’

In the first place, in aristocratic societies, rather than marrying out of burning love, the majority of marriages are for mutual benefit.

They didn’t have any feelings for each other anyway, so divorce is a big deal and remarriage with the princess is a big deal?

Anyway, due to this scandal that hit the Imperial Palace, which had been boring in the past, a significant number of nobles, especially noble ladies and young ladies, came to have great interest and curiosity about a man named Rainer Kreuzse.

I couldn’t help but be concerned about what kind of man he was and whether those at the pinnacle of power were favoring him.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Archduke Yohrha, Reiner von Yohrha.”

“Oh, you are the one… “

And the man they actually met, Rainer Kreuzse… He was a more handsome man than they thought.

It was understandable why the princess of Yohrha had chosen him as her arranged marriage partner, and why the princess had also been lying in the same bed not even a day after meeting her face.

“How could… Rumor has it that he is a skilled knight who has held a sword for a very long time, but looking at it this way, he looks like a celestial scholar. Should I say I’m the type who only sits at my desk… “

“hahahaha, I will take it as a compliment. The young lady really paints my face with gold.”

On top of that, he had a good personality and even showed an attitude of listening to others. It was a stark contrast to the way those who claimed to be knights from ancient times were not familiar with conversations with women or only talked about themselves.

“Oops… After talking with the Archduke, it seems that all the rumors I heard were false rumors. You are the complete opposite of the person portrayed in the rumors.”

“Rumors? What rumors are you talking about?”

“That… It’s embarrassing, but recently, rumors have been circulating among men about the Grand Duke. For example, talking arrogantly in front of His Majesty’s presence, or clashing with Count Bright, who is regarded as the guardian deity of the empire… “

“Ah… That’s what you mean. That’s all true. Now that I think about it, I used to do really stupid things.”

“Yes? Is it true?”

“As the Lady knows, I am married to the Grand Duchess. And the reason I left the Principality and came to the Empire was to explain the recent unfortunate incident in the Principality.”

There was no way they didn’t know that. Because they were also quite shocked to hear that Marquis Illivatus, one of the most influential people in the empire, was actually a demon.

“And in the midst of that clarification… As the husband of the Grand Duchess, there were some questions I couldn’t ignore. hahahaha… It’s very embarrassing when you think about it now. It was such an important occasion to meet His Majesty the Emperor as the representative of the principality, but I raised my voice with my emotions.”

“How could… It seems that His Highness the Grand Duke was a pathetic wife who loved his wife very much.”

“That’s too much praise.”

In the minds of those who are here now, the fact that the person who was called the dear wife spent all night lying on the bed with the princess had already been erased.

“Then, those rumors about Count Bright… ?”

“He was merely giving me sharp advice out of his loyalty to Your Majesty. I would appreciate it if you would consider it all my fault.”

“How! I haven’t seen that much, but it seems that the count doesn’t have eyes for people. How could you treat such a nice person like that… !”

“Calm down, madam. As I said before, the Count did nothing wrong. Just… It was just a slight misunderstanding between us. It must be because the Count has deep intentions as well.”

And as people’s evaluation of Reiner rises, in return, the evaluation of Count Bright slowly begins to decline.

Although Reiner didn’t say anything special here, public opinion was slowly changing, albeit very slightly.

‘Because it’s the truth of the world that arms are supposed to bend inward.’

No matter what politicians say, the party they belong to or their followers try to shield themselves and see only the good things. Start to feel

If they had a chance to go out to another gathering and talk to other people about a subject like this, there’s a 100% chance they’d side with Reiner and chew Earl Bright as a bloodless son of a b*tch. I could guess.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Very good.’

Just at the moment when she was thinking that a story related to ‘that subject’ she secretly spilled would come out, she cautiously opened her mouth as if she had suddenly remembered a young lady.

“Ah… Come to think of it, I’ve heard this story somewhere… “

“What are you talking about? Lady Arwen?”

“I can’t be sure because I heard this story somewhere, but… Now that I’m listening to the story of His Highness the Grand Duke of YoRHa, it seems like something plausible… “

Like a CIA agent leaking state-secret information, Lady Arwen whispers to everyone with a very cautious expression.

“Actually, Count Bright… He said that he treated His Highness the Grand Duke of Yohrha on purpose. Because Count Bright is the Marquis of Illivatus… No, because he was connected to the Demon Illivatus in some way, he was very afraid that some of his secrets would be leaked.”

“Oops… That’s why Count Bright was so threatening to His Highness, the Grand Duke of Yohrha, whom he had virtually never met.”

“Something seems to fit. If His Highness the Grand Duke of YoRHa had behaved just a little wrong on the spot, Count Bright might have drawn his sword and used his own hands at His Highness the Grand Duke… “

‘Hey, no matter what, that went too far.’

Of course, all the stories going on here are just nonsense bullsh*t itself.

If you dare to rate it, it’s nonsense that the leader used the jukji method and made a grenade with pine cones.

However, when everyone gathered here were discussing with serious faces as if the bullsh*t was real, Reiner couldn’t stand the twitching of his lips.

No, to be precise, it didn’t matter to them whether the rumor was true or not. Because this ‘legal’ opportunity to chew on others and talk behind their backs didn’t come very often.

At this moment, everyone here is intoxicated with a sense of exhilaration that they are on the side of justice, and at last they start to seriously talk about bullsh*t that they shouldn’t.

“If the rumors are true… Count Bright is truly a fearsome person.”

“Your Highness, is that rumor really true? Has His Highness the Archduke really ever received death threats from Count Bright?”

As rumors without a source circulate around this place, it is really absurd to see Earl Bright’s secret assassination attempt on Reiner and Reiner’s improvisation after cleverly passing him through.

However, she doesn’t show that on the outside, and Liner also accepts their words with a serious face.

“Until Count Bright spewed a tremendous amount of death at me… It’s true. It was to the point where I even thought that I would die right here in an instant. No matter how much I think about it, I haven’t done anything wrong… I also had doubts that he had other intentions.”

I don’t directly agree with what they say, but I don’t directly deny it either.

No, to be precise, the correct answer would be that there is no need for that.

Because ‘Rainer Kreuzse’, who can be said to be the main character of the fiery love affair with the princess, is the male lead that only appears in romance novels in the eyes of noble ladies, and Count Bright, who opposes him, feels inferior to such a male lead and makes him stale. It must be the evil villain who is acting.

“How could… He was usually called the guardian deity of the empire, but in the end, he seems to have become only that much of a person.”

“This is disgusting. Even if you don’t like yourself even a little bit, how slyly a person who behaves like that would normally look at us with a sly look… “

In just a few hours, Earl Bright fell from Master, the guardian deity of the empire, to colluding with the demons through his back hole and becoming a son of a b*tch licking their backs.

‘Puhhhhh.’

Reiner sipped his tea happily as he watched the scene where everyone in the room was swearing at Earl Bright in unison.

Today, the taste of tea just felt very good.
