In fact, when Eleanor was 22 years old, it was decided that she would become the princess of Klein.

This was not because she was praised by bards for her persistence in the magic boxer and her passion for herself, but because the Marquisate of Asedgorn accepted the official proposal of the royal family.

Now, considering that Glaud has completely become the king's right-hand man, this marriage will also deepen the relationship between the two families.

Of course, Klein’s wishes were included, but it could be said that the presence of the Magic Boxer also became part of strengthening the relationship.

The Magic Boxer defeated the Paladin Rundback and truly became the strongest warrior in Holzlein, and the Holzlein court also began to pay attention to his existence.

Anyway, later in the palace, Klein and Eleanor could often be seen talking happily, and a black-haired boy was always by their side. It was said that they had a very close relationship.

The people at the court were delighted by the rumor, for they believed that Holzlein would be protected by the most powerful warriors in the future, and they looked forward to the coming peace and happiness.

“Although I feel a little embarrassed to ask again…” Although he felt a little heavy, Klein still asked Eleanor: “You are not dissatisfied with being my wife, right?”

"No, Your Highness is so gentle to me, a woman who is said to be a miracle. I believe Your Highness will make me happy."

Hearing this answer, Klein also felt happy. Despite his joy, the prince still expressed his concerns: "No, that... I once thought that you might like Ye Kai."

"Ah, don't say that. Ye Kai is my brother. How could I possibly like him?"

"I also heard a little bit about how Ye Kai came to the Marquis of Asedgorn's house. Will the Duke's protective knight develop feelings for the princess?"

"This kid always hangs around outside the city gates and doesn't really listen to me. Your Highness is much more reliable now."

That may be flattering, but there is some truth to it.

Ye Kai often went to the forest near Holzlein. Although the reason was unknown, Eleanor didn't know. But once, he brought a large piece of diamond ore to Graud, and then used the money to buy metal ore called treasure that was circulating in the market, and worked hard to strengthen his gauntlet.

Eleanor felt that Ye Kai might also have a tendency to be a bit of a weapons fanatic.

————————————————————

It has been six years since Ye Kai came into this world, and Klein's crown prince ceremony is about to take place.

At the table, the engagement between Eleanor and him and the wedding in a year were officially announced, and the people of Holmut were excited. Klein took Eleanor's hand and waved proudly to the people.

"What a beautiful child that couple would have."

In addition to those who were happy about Holzlein's future, such discussions were also heard.

The people were very excited, and Holmut was full of prosperity, like a city with eternal glory. The Marquis of Asedgorn was also happy about this official announcement, and the people in the family could not hide their excitement.

At this time, Eleanor's brother Agathe, who had come to work at the manor house of the Marquis of Asedgorn to learn how to manage the territory, returned to the mansion. He planned to learn the work of a political officer under the guidance of Graud.

Whether Agathe can inherit the position of Minister of State depends on his own ability. There are many influential nobles in the political affairs. There are countless competitors who aspire to become Minister of State.

Despite this, Agathe still has his own pride and plans to strive to become a politician who surpasses his father.

After returning home, although on a smaller scale, the whole family celebrated Agathe's return together.

The absence of Francia's mother, who was too weak to return to the sanatorium after suffering a serious illness, was regrettable, but it was a good thing for Agathe, who had been working hard in the territory.

However, there was a strange boy sitting in the seat. At the urging of his father, Agathe briefly greeted the boy and asked him, "Are you the magic boxer?"

"Yes, thank you for your care, Lord Marquis. Please take care of Lady Agate." Ye Kai was told that Eleanor was a brother who paid attention to etiquette, so he gave a respectful greeting.

"Ah, Ye Kai, no. We should be closer like brothers."

"Is it only my sister who thinks this way? Don't impose your ideas on others, okay?"

"No! Well, Daddy also wants to be called father, right?"

"Ah, I'd be glad if you thought so."

"If you're too polite to me, I might get even more aggressive."

Agathe was a little confused about this family that was more like a family than himself. He realized again that even if he was away for a short time, the atmosphere in the mansion had changed.

"From what he said, we should put some restraint on him, father. He is just a guest, isn't he?"

"That being said, Agathe. Although His Majesty didn't say it, he seems to be very interested in Ye Kai. The Secretary of War has been urging him to stay, and even Master Apenchit has been begging him. People are reluctant to let go of something they want."

"This reason doesn't make sense, does it? It is the duty of the subjects to obey His Majesty's wishes. If that's what you say, should we let him stay and entertain us?"

Although Glaud said it jokingly, Agathe was serious.

"Agathe, there are some things you don't know. Although Ye Kai is neither a subject nor a commoner, he is an independent individual here."

“How can someone who doesn’t fulfill any of his obligations have that kind of qualification? I can’t understand it.”

"That's not the case. In fact, I received the rights to several new types of descriptions and engravings granted to me by Ye Kai. That income is not low. I also used that money to pay for part of the development costs of the territory you went to..."

That was what Agathe requested from Glaud, for the new development.

"…I'm sorry, Ye Kai. I hate people who don't work hard. I always think that people like you who only know how to be brave but not how to make progress are not worthy of respect. Please forgive me."

"It's alright, Master Agathe. I'm just a temporary resident."

"Ye Kai is a very good brother, right?"

(Hasn't he given up yet?!)

Under strange circumstances, the Marquis' family had a harmonious time.

----------------

It was a sunny day, and the palace held a dinner for the royal family and the Marquis of Asedgone. After the wedding arrangements were made, there was a harmonious laughter at the venue.

Ye Kai wondered why he was here. Klein and Eleanor did not leave him any room to retreat. He was almost forced to participate.

The king wanted to hear Ye Kai's recent report on the Adventurer's Guild and the situation outside the city gate. It seemed that he could not feel the real situation only through the information from his subjects. The king hoped to obtain information that would be helpful for governance from various opportunities, which made Ye Kai impressed.

In a private dinner, everyone except the waiter was arranged to the side. Suddenly, a panicked voice sounded in the hall.

"Your Majesty! Is Your Majesty here?"

"What a noise, what happened?"

"I'm very sorry to bother you, but I have a report. East of Holmt, 8 Roots (9.6 km) away, we have confirmed an army of about people. They appear to be the army of the Treba Empire!"

Urgent news suddenly came from the restaurant.
