414 – Daebaek also has a daily life – 1

As expected, all eyes were on him as soon as he entered the banquet hall. Usually, nobles with titles are given higher ranks than ordinary nobles, and among the nobles with titles, those with the rank of count or higher are called high-ranking nobles. Lastly, even counts would have different prestige depending on the presence or absence of a territory, and the fact that the 14 great lords entered all at once was enough to attract the attention of the nobles.

Even among the 14, the new marquis and the minister-designate are included. Everyone must have noticed that this clique is not just a friendly gathering.

Fortunately, if this solid composition gives an intimidating impression to the opponent, no one just stares and approaches—

“Why do you hang out together?”

There was. There was a marquis, a minister-designate, a great lord, and someone he could approach without ignoring him.

I felt the great lords behind me start to flinch as the iron-blooded man, a man with a larger body than the rest, approached, cutting through the nobles. Nomads are nomads, even though they are nobles who have attained their title by noticing and walking a tightrope. Seeing a warrior who was stronger as a warrior, it seemed that he was naturally intimidated.

“The father-in-law.”

First of all, as I respectfully bowed my head toward the father-in-law approaching, the father-in-law’s expression slightly softened.

It seems that he was satisfied with calling him a father-in-law, not a hard title, Mr. Excellency, in front of others. Because he values family affection above all else.

“What if the young guy is later than the old me?”

“What do you mean by still correcting it? To be honest, your father-in-law will be healthier than my father.”

“You speak well.”

The corner of the father-in-law’s mouth went up as he responded with a good word for the ill-tempered greeting. It’s very subtle, but it definitely went up.

It is a valuable piece of information that Marr gave me that my father-in-law is secretly paying attention to aging. As such, these simple virtues can have a more powerful effect than anything else.

“I see. Speaking with others is important.”

“Seeing that I have close friends with whom I can share friendships, I naturally grew.”

And naturally, he pointed to the great lords of the north. Since my father-in-law mentioned the faction members who entered with me, it is my duty as my father-in-law’s son-in-law to introduce the faction members.

Because without an intermediary, a subordinate should not dare to talk to a superior who is new to him without official business. No matter how much a marquis or a count is, he is a thorough inferior in front of the duke.

“Especially thanks to Marquis Barandiga, I learned the joy of being with friends.”

Then the father-in-law’s eyes turned to the Marquis of Barandiga.

“If a son-in-law is close to you, you can’t call him a stranger. I’d like to see them as a good relationship in the future.”

“Of course, Your Excellency. I will continue my unchanging friendship with Count Wiridia.”

Soon after, the father-in-law held out his hand, and the Marquis of Barandiga took it with both hands and bowed at the perfect angle. It was an attitude that was only possible if the duke knew what kind of existence he was in this empire.

I felt a little wondrous. I feel sorry for the Marquis Barandi for thinking this way, but he probably didn’t show that angle in front of Kagan either.

‘The father-in-law feels heavier than Kagan.’

Thinking about it, I can understand Marquis Barandiga’s position. A kagan who is at war with the empire without touching himself right away, a craftsman of a faction leader and a duke who can shake himself with a single word. If you choose one of these miraculous options, of course the latter is bound to be more frightening.

To me too, the emperor, my boss, is more like a dog than anyone else in the world. The mountain emperor is more than a dead Kagan and Dorgon.

“This is what I say to you too. I’m not enough son-in-law, but please take good care of me.”

In the meantime, the father-in-law who shook hands with the Marquis of Barandi turned his gaze to the other great lords and greeted them.

This is unusual. No matter how a count belongs to a high-ranking nobility, a duke is an existence that can make such a count his vassal. It was for the sake of the duke’s face to properly mingle with the marquis and withdraw, but the father-in-law personally spoke to the count’s faction members.

“Woah, it’s an honor, Your Excellency.”

As if the great lords who had learned the manners of the empire were perplexed by this situation, only the professional minion Count Kaitana could barely answer.

However, this is not a problem with the other great lords, it’s just that Count Kaitana is unique. To the extent that even my father-in-law nodded without reprimanding me for only one answer.

“Son-in-law.”

“Yes, father-in-law.”

I bowed my head to my father-in-law who was looking at me again, and he put his hand on my shoulder and said.

“The bravery of the nomads was at a level that only the empire could match. Today, those brave warriors have become close friends of the son-in-law, so the son-in-law should continue their friendship for the sake of the empire.”

After hearing that, I felt a little relief. The father-in-law showed a friendly attitude by talking to the counts, so he wondered what was going on, but he made a direct request at the end, so he could understand everything.

On the surface, it says, ‘You have become close friends with nomads who have been in conflict for a long time, so work for peace.’ It may seem like a beautiful virtue, but the reality is different.

‘You need a horse.’

My father-in-law just needed words. It is clear that he speaks of nomadic valor or for the sake of the empire.

Okay. Now that the north is in the arms of the empire, the only border with other countries is the east. And the father-in-law is a duke in charge of the eastern part. It is only natural to show enthusiasm for the supply and demand of horses, an important military strategic material.

‘This is an open bidding.’

That’s why the father-in-law showed off in front of all the nobles. Keep in mind that the faction leader who leads the great lords of the north is my son-in-law, and I plan to treat each and every member of the faction as precious. If there is a guy who bids higher than me, I’ll give it to you.

It was a very hot declaration, but well, it’s a declaration for border defense, not for self-interest. It’s not even about selling cheap, it’s about buying the quantity first.

‘Rather good.’

In addition, the estate of the father-in-law is the center of the military industry. This means that if you change the role of blacksmith a little bit, you can mass-produce not only munitions but also ordinary industrial products.

It is also possible to exchange horses from the north for industrial products instead of money. It wouldn’t be too bad of a deal from a nomad’s point of view.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

In fact, the father-in-law nodded his head as if satisfied with the definite answer that he would sell it first. I also feel grand when I think of the horses that ran in the north tying the eastern kingdoms.

Damn it, it must have been comfortable when we tanked nomads with our bodies.

Now it’s your turn to roll.

After I said hello to my father-in-law, I was only stared at again. Even if there is someone who wants to approach me, my father-in-law has already said, ‘I will kill anyone who bids higher than my words.’ Has been declared. It must be scary to approach us and receive the duke’s warm gaze.

Of course, a half-blood elf duke is not an opponent that even an adult craftsman can stop, so he approached without hesitation. In the first place, I have no interest in saying that I am the owner of the Magic Tower.

“Now, after the banquet is over, you will return to the academy. You don’t know how much I’ve missed you all this time.”

Anyway, unlike when he was a father-in-law, when he went to the corner away from the faction members for a while, Beatrix chanted a small incantation and then whispered. It must have been some kind of magic that made it impossible to see our conversation or our appearance.

“I missed it too. If I could only use the teleport, I would have gone to the academy every day.”

So, when I replied hugging Beatrix, she patted her ears in satisfaction.

This Padakim is the Beatrix I know. It’s so stable.

“Huh-!”

“Oh, sorry.”

It was so stable that I inadvertently fiddled with it. I know it’s a sensitive area, but I stop without realizing it.

As I tried to let go of my embarrassment, Beatrix’s hand grabbed my wrist. It was a level that could be easily brushed off with force, but it was too urgent to stop.

“Gye, you can continue.”

After a while, the voice that seemed to be crawling touched my ears without saying anything. There’s something strange about the shape, but I decided to skip it because I was the one who struck first.

Yes, this is also a type of skinship. Is there a way to share affection as much as the skinship the other person wants?

“Hey, baby?”

At the time I started to rationalize my bizarre self for a while, I was able to stop thinking thanks to Beatrix’s voice.

“I have a question, can I ask it?”

“Yes. As much as you like.”

It was a surprising statement, but he nodded happily. Even when Beatrix wanted to ask me something, he had a lot of questions, considering the faction from the north that had entered with me.

“When are you going to be comfortable with Marr?”

“Huh?”

A very unexpected word came out.

‘Comfortable?’

My head didn’t understand the question. When are you going to treat me comfortably, isn’t it already?

I call Marr by his nickname, and I often sit on his lap and hug him, I lie on Marr’s lap, and I kiss him on the forehead or cheek. It must be rare to be treated so comfortably.

As she blindly blinked with such feelings, Beatrix let out a small sigh.

“When are you going to talk to Mar, you’re asking that.”

“…….”

Ah.

It feels like I was hit hard in the back of the head. Why didn’t I notice that obvious until now?

‘You were only showing respect to Mar.’

This is definitely a strange thing. It is not to show respect to all lovers, nor is it to show respect to older lovers.

No, even if you say that you are respectful to your elders in the first place, Marla is younger than me. Rather, it made sense to show respect to Beatrix.

‘Am I too used to it?’

I met Marr for the first time about two years ago, through the introduction of the duke’s father-in-law. That’s why she had a conversation with mutual respect thoroughly, and the habit has continued to this day.

I took this respect for granted, so I couldn’t even change it.

‘Ha.’

I almost let out a sigh of embarrassment. There are cases where married couples respect each other and respect each other, but if that was the case, it had to be done with all six people. Doing this only to Mar is tantamount to discrimination.

After the banquet, I should apologize first.

“Ah, baby…!”

“Ah.”

I think I should apologize to Beatrix in front of me first.

A trembling body, a face stained red, and eyes that are about to shed tears.

I lost my mind while thinking of Mar, so I touched her ear with a sincere stroking.
