I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 201



201 – Interpretation of Dreams Rather Than Dreams

The next day.

Edgar went to her office in a dazed state because he drank a little last night.

Ariel, who was waiting for him, said something unexpected while organizing her documents.

“How about having your parents come and stay here too?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? I don’t know about my mother, but my father must be having a hard time because of his position as the head of the family.”

Although he was the owner of a small family in the village of Amman, Lancel was also the head of a proper family.

Moreover, he also had a territory to take care of, and there were residents living there.

How would it be possible to come to Hespania and live without knowing them all?

“I had just met my mother and was on my way back, and she asked me secretly. “I don’t think it’s a bad idea.”

“Umm…”

When Edgar heard that even Helen expressed a similar opinion, he fell into deep sleep and thought.

Of course, it is not impossible.

In the first place, it was thanks to the grace of the Robeheim family that the current Bilhark family was recognized for its autonomy and was able to rule Ardenum.

Originally, they were local nobles, but their power was very minimal, and the land they received as fiefdom was barren and difficult to cultivate.

However, the previous head of the Robeheim family showed favor to several dependent families and gave them several of their territories with royal permission, and among them was the Bilhark family.

In other words, the land currently controlled by the Bilhark family was also originally owned by the Robeheim family.

Of course, since it was such a long time ago, it would be embarrassing to bring it up now, but when it was revealed, the Bilhark family had nothing to say.

Just like Edgar today.

Ariel seemed to be concerned about this as well, so she quickly waved her hand and added an explanation.

It was an unusually quick explanation for her.

“Oh, of course, I don’t mean to give up that territory. However, the territory itself can be governed to some extent here, right? It doesn’t take much effort.”

“That’s right.”

In the first place, it is not as huge as Hespania or other cities.

The land is quite fertile, so it is just a small town where you can barely make a living thanks to special products.

Moreover, since the foundation had already been properly cultivated, there was no need for the ruler to put in much effort.

In any case, it was enough for the Bilhark family to maintain its rights and send a trustworthy person from the Robeheim family to rule on their behalf.

Although, if that happens, the territory of the Bilhark family will become somewhat less famous.

“At least I think it’s a good idea.”

“Why? Because I can see Sonia?”

When Edgar asked as if he was vaguely expecting it, she opened her eyes and raised her voice in response.

“I know I care about Sonia, but I’m not stupid enough to get involved in something serious like this.”

“Know. I meant it as a joke. But what is the real reason?”

He didn’t say it in a particularly serious way, so he just shrugged her shoulders and brushed it off.

However, the question that remained was why he was positive about bringing his family to her.

To put it bluntly, from Ariel’s point of view, whether they come or not, if she marries Edgar here and eats well and lives well, there is nothing lacking.

On the contrary, there will be more things to worry about, so it wouldn’t be strange to hope that it doesn’t come.

But why?

In response to Edgar’s question, Ariel fiddled with her hands for a moment and looked at him.

I was a bit worried about whether I should say this or not, but in the end, it was probably necessary to convince him.

From noble mtl dot come

It is also a necessary part when understanding the situation objectively.

“Actually… You experienced something like that at the imperial palace this time, right? “I was worried that the magic might extend to your family.”

“…”

Edgar was left speechless by the quite reasonable answer.

As she said, in the current situation where an assassination attempt is being made in the imperial palace, there is no guarantee that a member of the small family will not be touched.

He might try to negotiate with Edgar or Ariel by using harsh words to hold them hostage.

If that happens, it will be so difficult that there will already be no suitable solution at that point.

The only choice is to either refuse to negotiate and give up your family, or to negotiate and fall into a trap even though you know it is a trap.

If you think about it that way, bringing them quickly to Robeheim Castle may not be something to worry about, but may be an essential element.

“I’m sorry, I made you think about something unnecessary.”

When the heavy silence subsided, Ariel, thinking that she had sprouted anxiety in his heart, quickly offered an apology.

It was something he had to say, but the news that his family might suffer disaster would not have been very pleasant to him.

But Edgar shook her head and patted her on the shoulder.

If you look at it that way, what he did to Yulken yesterday would be considered the world’s worst act.

There are times when someone must objectively read a situation and give advice. Today, that role has simply been passed on to Ariel.

“Are you okay. What is the need to apologize? Rather, I should be thankful.”

It was something I hadn’t even thought about, so I just felt like I’d been punched in the back for a moment, but I wasn’t particularly anxious.

If I had to choose one, I would say I felt more relieved.

“Anyway, I need to discuss it with my father right away, right? Because it’s difficult for me to decide on my own.”

“Then go straight to your room and try to contact me. “I can take a day off.”

It was Ariel who had heard early on that he had been drinking with Yulken last night to comfort him.

So, rather than focusing on work with a hangover, I thought it would be better to rest for a day and contact Ardenum at the same time.

Anyway, all you have to do is leave the little things to his lieutenant, Leonel.

“… Then, I’ll just contact you for a moment and then I’ll be back.”

If it were a normal Edgar, he would have refused even this and concentrated on his work.

However, since it was an urgent matter and the people involved were none other than my family, I decided to gratefully accept her consideration.

In the midst of all this, she completely ignored Ariel’s words that she could rest for a day, and her reply that she would come back soon was very telling.

“Oh my. Anyway, she doesn’t listen even when I tell her to rest… Then, call Shrina on the way.”

She is probably taking a moment to catch her breath and chat with her lover in the garden.

Edgar and Shuri were in a shift-like structure, so one of them had to be by Ariel’s side

Since he had to leave today, Shuri naturally took his place

“I’ll ask Eline for a favor. Anyway, thank you.”

“That’s enough, just go ahead and go, you idiot.”

“Okay… Ah.”

He was trying to hurriedly leave her room at Ariel’s urging her, but he suddenly turned around and walked towards her.

Then, he lightly kissed her cheek and took a step behind her with his signature mischievous smile.

“I should say thank you and leave. “I’ll come back and see you.”

“Tch, it’s not a kid, what do you call a cheek…” ” ” “Repay double when you return.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

Since she was n’t a child anymore, she didn’t make any promises, but her words alone exuded more trust than the firm promises she made back then.

It may be a natural belief that arises as time goes by.

Clutter.

After leaving the office, Edgar was about to call Eline, but suddenly a bright idea occurred to him and he went to the window.

Then he opened one of the tightly closed windows and screamed outside.

“Shuri! “Your lady is calling!”

“Yes!? “Are you talking now!?”

As Ariel expected, the voice reached Shuri, who was with Ronan in her garden, and she opened her eyes wide like a startled rabbit and rushed into the castle.

In the meantime, she didn’t forget the cute kiss she gave her lover.

‘Even though I’m busy, I still do everything.’

Edgar, who was dumbfounded by the sight of her, laughed and took her steps again.

It was a story from one morning.

*

Upon hearing the unexpected news, the Bilhark family mansion in Ardenum was in chaos.

That’s because there was speculation that the story Edgar told was actually a preparation process for a wedding ceremony.

“Of course, the children are at an age where it would not be strange for them to get married, but…”

Katria, who heard this story, was equally confused.

Although I was mentally preparing that I would have a wedding ceremony at some point, I did not expect that the preparations would start so suddenly.

Even though they already have a certain level of familiarity with each other, order is important in these things, so I thought that the conversation would only come out after the two families exchanged greetings in the right place.

Or, I felt a chill go down my spine as I wondered if what Yulken and Helen had asked before was sincere.

“Maybe it’s a little early, right?”

“Well. “What do you think?”

“It doesn’t matter to me. On the contrary, it is something to be thankful for. “And you?”

“Me too. “When I first met her not long ago, her mind was already made up.”

That child was Ariel.

Since she became quite comfortable with her, Katria has already stopped arguing between them.

No matter what the ending was, it was the result of the two people’s achievements, and all they could do as parents was to support their son and, by extension, the woman he chose.

However, the reason I was embarrassed was because I thought I was in too much of a hurry.

Above all, she said to come and live in the castle was in line with the idea of giving up ruling here for the time being.

It was just a worry to leave the residents of the territory alone when the two people had not even gotten married yet.

“Dad, are you my older brother?”

“Yes, my daughter. Actually, Ariel and Ed say that her brother might get married?”

I don’t know when the words to come and live in the castle turned into such a definite answer, but the two were already talking with marriage in mind.

Meanwhile, Sonia also knew what her marriage was, so when she heard the news, she was happy with her arms wide open.

How could a young girl not be happy when her favorite brother and sister in the world are getting married?

“Gyeopron? Sonia too!”

“Fuhu, does my daughter know what marriage is?”

“Then! Ariel Onni tell me!”

The sight of Sonia standing with her chest out and responding with her majestic posture brought smiles to her and her husband’s lips.

For some reason, looking at the innocent and unspoiled appearance of their daughter, they felt like fools for having worried about it just a moment ago.

“Then let’s do as Ed said and finish talking with her in-laws her in Hespania. “Honey.”

“That’s okay. By the way, I never dreamed that I would become the Grand Duke’s father-in-law.”

“Who wouldn’t say that? “If I told others I had a dream like this, they would immediately kick me in chains, right?”

Is this what it feels like to have a good son and become prosperous?

Although nothing has been decided yet, the two have already had a sweet conversation while unfolding their dreams.

Not to be outdone, Sonia, who came in late, often shouted that she wanted to see the two get married.

Anyway, thanks to this, I was able to decide to move in a positive direction.

You will only find out the details of his fate after arriving at Robeheim Castle and having a close conversation.
