Episode 144 How to handle a courtship letter (1)
A courtship letter.
At first, a thousand thoughts came to mind. Isn’t this crazy? Is this really true?
…But it was right.
‘It’s a true story.’
Many, many, many.
A luxurious carriage quietly rolling through Imperial City in the late evening. Inside, Rachiel sighed deeply. His gaze was directed at the dozens of courtship letters lined up in front of him.
I remembered the time when I received this from the emperor earlier. How absurd it was at the time. To be honest, I wondered if the emperor was playing a nasty kind of trick.
‘That guy is always so anxious that he can’t catch me. ‘Because I’m trying desperately to get even a little more.’
A man who always puts his successors to the test. That person was the emperor. I thought it would be like that this time too. I thought he was trying to guess the reaction of this person who received an unexpected bundle of courtship letters.
Thanks to this, I was able to respond calmly.
‘It’s a courtship ground. All right.’
… he coolly(?) answered. I received a bundle of courtship letters. After sparring, he bowed and bowed. On the other hand, I cheered because I thought this was the end of today’s cravings.
But now.
When I checked the courtship hall on the way back to the villa after riding the carriage, my heart sank. The courtship was real. It wasn’t a fake letter for the Emperor’s test. It wasn’t a nasty little fish either.
It was just a very, very obvious true story!
‘I’m sure of this.’
Rachiel’s eyes turned to the courtship envelope at the top. I could see the royal family symbol engraved on the envelope. It wasn’t just a simple pattern. It was a magically stamped seal. This means that counterfeiting is impossible.
So did all the other envelopes. Various patterns in numerous designs. Numerous royal and noble families. The sight of dozens of love calls(?) that they sent with sincerity and passion felt slightly unrealistic.
“….”
I couldn’t believe it.
Is this a blessing in disguise for my life as a self-employed person? To be honest, I was a little excited at first. I wondered if this was how the very few famous men in this world who needed to be overthrown felt. But the more I thought about it… this was never a good thing!
“Your Highness, what is that?”
Damien, who was sitting across from the carriage, asked. Is it because this person has a serious expression? The guy’s eyes were also flashing sharply.
Rakiel shrugged his shoulders.
“A courting hall.”
“…yes?”
“It’s a courtship letter I just received from His Majesty.”
“To your Majesty?”
“uh. Recently, royal families and prominent aristocratic families from various countries came rushing in. “They all want to marry me.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
“Do you think so?”
“yes.”
“Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem right.”
“…Why?”
Damian tilted his head as if he didn’t understand. Sir Gardin, who was quietly listening to the story, quietly interjected.
“Are you having trouble deciding who to choose?”
Lord Gardin looks serious yet slightly excited. As soon as I saw it, I knew why it was like that. It was because I had already heard about his flashy dating style. In other words, he is probably burning up his motivation to give this person a dating coach for the first time in a while.
But unfortunately, Sir Gardin got the address wrong this time. Rakiel smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Wondering who to choose? “Yeah, no.”
“…yes?”
“It’s not like that.”
“If you do that, what on earth are you worried about?…”
“I’m thinking about a reason to reject all of this in one go.”
“…Yeh?”
Sir Gardin’s eyes widened. Damian also raised his eyebrows. The response was that they did not understand. I guess so. You don’t understand. He sent a slightly deeper bitter smile towards the two.
“Perhaps those who sent the courtship letter just now did not send it to me, ‘Rachiel’, but to the crown prince who will become the emperor of the empire. Judging from my status and future prospects, I am considered by everyone to be the number one groom on the continent. “Don’t you think so?”
“Of course, Your Highness.”
Sir Gardin nodded quickly. Seeing that, I smiled bitterly again.
“That’s why.”
“So… what are you saying?”
“I am the husband who is in the spotlight so much, so why did no one send courtship letters in the past, but this time they are suddenly flocking to me?”
“…ah.”
Did I finally understand the meaning of this? An image appeared in Sir Gardin’s eyes.
“It is thanks to His Highness’s work in Amboise that it spread throughout the continent. Is that correct?”
“answer.”
That’s it.
Rachiel said as she picked up a courtship envelope.
“Before, everyone probably thought of me as an outcast. A sickly prince. He’s going to die young soon. So, people probably thought there was no chance of him becoming the next emperor. “Aren’t you treating me like a rotten dong-a-jul?”
Actually, everyone must have done that. If you think about it a little, it was easy to guess. In fact, that was the rumor I heard at the villa. It was also said that there were more secret courtships for the second prince than for this one.
‘of course. If I die young, the second prince will inherit the crown prince and continue the throne in a stable manner.’
However, the second prince rejected all the courtships. From what I heard, he gave reasons such as, ‘Your older brother should come first before yourself,’ or ‘Because that is the correct order.’
“But now that has changed. “Because of what I did in Amboise.”
Suddenly, his identity was revealed in the middle of the battlefield. He even defeated Sword Master Javilon. It was something that was neither planned nor planned.
Anyway, thanks to this, the health(?) of this side has spread widely throughout the continent. Of course, it also swept away the suspicions that had been directed towards us.
“Suddenly, my stock price suddenly skyrocketed… no, everyone suddenly realized the value I had as a first-class husband. “Everyone probably sent out courtship letters in a competitive manner, saying that they couldn’t let someone else steal it, so they had to grab it at all costs.”
In other words, at this point, this person has become the best lottery player on the continent. There was no way that everyone would send out courtship letters so passionately.
But… that’s the problem!
‘Why? ‘Because I have no intention of becoming emperor!’
It was honest sincerity. I don’t want to be like an emperor. Living a life full of headaches due to too many tasks was not something I wanted to do. I just wanted to enjoy the status of a member of the royal family and live the life of a Mansour building owner.
‘Nevertheless, the reason I competed with the 2nd prince for the position of crown prince… was to prepare for a possible great war.’
But now that Javilon has fallen, the risk of a great war has disappeared. So what if we just solve a few more problems? I was planning to give up the throne to the second prince.
‘That’s why you shouldn’t accept this courtship!’
Rachiel made a firm determination.
Sir Gardin asked curiously.
“But, Your Highness, it’s strange. Isn’t it now that everyone has finally come to recognize His Majesty’s abilities and prospects? But why would you refuse my courtship?…”
“Don’t you understand?”
“yes. “I wonder if you’re upset because you haven’t been recognized for so long.”
“Use it.”
“…sorry.”
Sir Gardin was sunk in one fell swoop.
To put it bluntly, I wasn’t upset. Absolutely not. The reason why she cannot be courted is obvious. If you do, it will be a fraudulent marriage.
‘They courted me because they thought I would become emperor, but they say I have no intention of becoming emperor.’
Those who sent the courtship literally bet on this side with the future of the family and the bride’s life. But what if this side goes ahead with delisting(?) without consulting them, saying they don’t want to become emperor? Then, the person who would become the wife would be being defrauded by mortgaging her life.
I didn’t like that.
I didn’t want to live like that.
‘But… use it. How can you turn down all of my courtship requests?’
Suddenly, the image of the emperor who handed me the courtship letter came to mind. Then I saw it vaguely. There was a bit of anticipation in the emperor’s eyes. Deep down, he must be very happy about this bombing of the courtship ground.
But is it possible to blindly refuse a courtship without proper justification?
‘No, never.’
It would be impossible.
The more I thought about it, the more my headache hurt. It was like that until the carriage arrived at the villa. I couldn’t think of a suitable excuse for refusal. I couldn’t think of a clear reason. My head was pounding.
‘I should take a walk.’
The villa returned after a long hiatus of several months. The late evening garden welcomed me as it seeped into the quiet night air. It was a quiet and beautiful sight. I thought I would walk for a while and cool my head.
I walked slowly, accompanied only by Damian. However, was it a bit too much to walk like that before I could recover from my travel fatigue and before the fatigue from sparring with the emperor had accumulated? Or maybe it was because the night wind was colder than expected.
Ding dong!
[Ojangyukbu condemns your irresponsible act of forcing overtime.]
[Heart: Hey! Don’t make any noises about working overtime here!]
[Lung: Now… I want to rest… Paha….]
[Captain: Brothers, if you want this human to rush back to the room, it would be quicker to loosen the sphincter muscle or tighten the sphincter muscle to a ribbon. Aren’t you worried about whether tying it into a shape will be faster?]
[Soy sauce: Can’t we try both?]
[Stomach: And then if it breaks… Wow haha]
[Kidney: I’m tired of all this stuffing-!]
“.. ..”
At first, I thought it was just grumbling. I tried to ignore whatever was going on. But it was that moment.
…Grumbling?
‘100 million?’
Suddenly, my lower abdomen grumbled. It hurt suddenly. So this is…
ding dong!
[Captain: Oh my gosh, you really let it go, right? Hehehe.]
[The captain exerts a powerful and absolute influence on your lower abdomen.]
[Signs of catastrophic disaster are detected in your lower abdomen.]
…Glurrrrrr?
‘Geo-eok-eong.’
Rachiel unconsciously took a deep breath and clutched her lower abdomen. So… this was an emergency signal! He shouted inwardly in panic.
‘Hey, what is it? ‘Why are you doing this to me!’
[Heart: Are you asking because you don’t know?]
Heart asked a dissatisfied question.
[Heart: How much work does our body do for you every day? It makes my heart beat all day long. Let me breathe too. Help me digest it too. Then shouldn’t we also rest normally in the evening? If this is going to be the case, at least give me a big late-night snack.]
‘No, I know that too. But…’
[Heart: But what.]
‘Isn’t there sometimes something I can’t avoid?’
[Heart: Not sometimes, but almost every day?]
‘Oh, kinda! ‘I’m really serious now.’
Rakiel spoke in an ejaculatory tone. It was already a headache because of the untimely bombardment of the courtship hall. I wondered how I could refuse this. If I could, I would like to pass it on to someone else to cover it up…
‘…Huh? wait for a sec.’
Rakiel, who was enjoying the sorrow(?), stopped. The end of a thought that suddenly occurred to me while I was talking to my heart just now. I grabbed its tail. I continued the thought process. The floating fragments were connected piece by piece.
Then, little by little, a bigger picture emerged.
‘If I do this well…’
it will work.
It seems possible.
Not only would I be able to handle the courtship in a clean manner, but I would also be able to lay the foundation for my future unemployed life.
So…
‘Captain! stop!’
[Captain: I don’t like it…?]
‘If I don’t stop, I’ll fast for 15 days? ‘Can you handle it?’
[Captain: gasp.]
Gurgling….
With the captain’s startled sound, the sphincter’s rebellion stopped. The excruciating pain in my lower abdomen disappeared in an instant. done. Rachiel, who had regained her confidence(?), raised her head. He spoke to Damian, who was following behind him.
“Damian. “Get the carriage I sent earlier ready again.”
“yes?”
This was Damian, who was looking puzzled as he suddenly grabbed his lower abdomen. The guy tilted his head at my command.
“I have to go to the second prince’s palace.”
“You mean… at this late hour?”
“uh.”
I have to go right away.
If I were to realize the big picture I just came up with and deal with the influx of courtship requests, there would be no better place than there.
‘If you think about it, yes. The royal families who have now sent courtship letters are, in fact, strictly speaking, I have sent courtship letters to the crown prince who will become the emperor, not to a person. Then, all I have to do is pass the courtship on to the guy who will actually become the emperor later, right?’
That’s it.
A win-win for both sides.
Everyone can be satisfied.
Rakiel got on the carriage for the bigger picture of the plan that he immediately came up with, ‘Holding the 2nd Prince a courtship(?)’. The carriage carrying him rushed to the 2nd Prince’s palace without hesitation.
