Chapter 334
…Somehow, I managed to escape…
No, I was talking alone with Marquis-sama in the reception room of the Bozes family, but Iris-sama and Beatrice-chan, who had been out, came back, so the conversation was cut off.
Even Marquis-sama, who said that it was just the two of us, couldn’t force a woman from another family to say her age in front of Iris-sama and Beatrice-chan.
……I was saved……
However, Iris-sama will be told the fact that I am an adult as soon as I return.
Then the party thing will become a reality.
And the fact that the host is Marquis-sama means that he’s also the one who selects the invited guests.
……What kind of arbitrary selection of people is going to take place? Now I’m scared!
But really, what purpose is the party going to serve?…..
There’s no possibility that it’s a party to choose my fiancée, right?
Considering the current political situation in this country, I don’t think that Marquis Bozes intends to marry me off to another family as quickly as possible. Of course, marrying outside the country is out of the question.
It will take me and the people I brought with me, the Shipbuilding Three Musketeers, etc., to build the large ships, to research and develop rifles and grenades, miniè guns or breech-loaded rifles, ship’s equipment and tools, and all the rest of it.
I am fluent in New Continental languages and know technical terms related to shipbuilding, so I can be an interpreter when complicated problems arise.
So, since it’s Marquis-sama, I’m sure that other countries, other factions, and even those of the same faction, would not want young men near me.
No, to begin with, no matter how much my guardian Marquis-sama is, I am the head of an independent noble family, so Marquis Bozes have no right to decide who I marry or force me to get engaged, right?
That is interference with other noble families and is an act of overreaching.
If they find out I’m an adult, then they don’t need to be my guardian anymore, right?
And if push comes to shove, I can tell the king, “I’m in trouble because he’s forcing something selfish against me, Viscount Yamano”. If I ask the king to remove him as my guardian, it will work out somehow.
Although, if I asked for help, nobles from other factions would criticize the Bozes family and move to defend me. It’s the pattern that Marquis Bozes-sama was worried about.
No, I’m not looking for a fight with Marquis Bozes-sama.
But being forced to marry against my will is a different story.
Does a daughter of a noble family marry for the sake of her family, not of her own will?
No, it’s “according to the judgment of the head of the family”.
……And I am the head of the Yamano family, not Marquis Bozes-sama.
That’s right, my engagement and marriage will be decided by me as the head of the family. As a custom in this country, that should be the way it should be.
……So what is Marquis Bozes-sama trying to throw a party for in the first place?
-One.
To make it widely known that I still have no intention of getting engaged, let alone getting married.
Ah, of course, Marquis-sama probably wouldn’t announce that I’ve already reached the age of adulthood…
-Two
He’s going to set up a dummy to make people think I already have a partner and make them give up.
…However, as Marquis-sama said, if the engagement is later canceled or dissolved, there is a possibility that the person himself or his family name will be damaged.
This seems to have a big impact on me, especially as a woman…
-Three
Make people think they don’t want to marry me in some way.
The downside of number two and number three is that after a number of years when I decide it’s time for me to get married, I run the risk of having no one to marry me.
……That’s bad, isn’t it……
