Chapter 11: They didnāt see me off and I wasnāt allowed to eat breakfast
If I go to a knight academy in this country, itās unlikely that Iāll be supported by the royal family. Itās even possible that Iāll be detained or assassinated, and my secrets are still dangerous, so going to the neighboring country may also be good.
Iāve taken over the body of Luke, who died in an accident, but I have no real family in this world. I have emotions that are triggered by my memories, but I donāt think itās good to be influenced too much.
This father is willing to release me to a neighboring country and throw me away with de facto annoyance, so this may just be the right opportunity to break my shackles.
āLuke, you may be dissatisfied, but this is an exchange between nations. Play your role as a child of the royal family to make up for this blunder ⦠Iām sorry, but youāll have to leave for the Kingdom of Forrell early tomorrow morning.ā
āTomorrow! No matter what thatās too sudden.ā
I was thinking of accepting this story from him when he said something about an exchangeĀ between nations. However tomorrow, thatās terrible. I felt my positive feelings for this person start fading ⦠In this world, marriage is thought of as a noblemanās duty.
Anyway ⦠doesnāt this person worry about me doing something over there? It would be an international problem If I did something, such as looking into the bathroom of noble girls from another family? So far, Luke has been peeking for fun, right? It wasnāt a big problem since it was the bath of our own vassals, but itās a pretty bad act in this world with a high sense of chastity, isnāt it?
āIt seems that hurrying things is partly due to the curriculum of the magic department that youāll be going to.ā
āYou said I donāt have enough points for transfer? Can I still attend the magic department of the neighboring country?ā
āBecause the total number of aristocrats is different compared to this country. For the Kingdom of Forrell, you have a decent amount of magic power, and if you can read and write, anyone can enter if they pay the fees.ā
It seems that itās academic level is much lower than the one in this countryā¦.
It doesnāt seem like weāre getting married right away, but the other person worries me ⦠Otherwise, Iām eager to leave and go to the magic department over there and start gaining strength.
āWhat kind of girl is my partner?ā
āOf course youāll be curious ā¦. The report says sheās a beautiful girl ⦠she hasnāt appeared in social circles at all so we donāt have any concrete information or pictures. Sheās going to the same school so when you get there, youāll know, but thereās only rumor-level information about her being beautiful and wise ⦠ā
Thereās no information about the person youāre sending a prince to marry? No matter how suddenly it was decided, itās not possible.
I think heās hiding something, but at this time he may just want to get rid of me so heās fine with anywhere.
Considering my rare attributes, I think there are quite a few houses in this country that want me, even if itās just as a breeding horse⦠probably.
āAlright ⦠I understand. I want to organize my luggage, so could you remove this [Magic bracelet]?ā
āI wonāt remove the bracelet until I hand you over to the other side ⦠I wonāt let you run away. Youāll leave the country tomorrow. You canāt take anything other than spare clothes and your equipment. Iāll give you 100 million Jennys. Iāve prepared 1 million Jennys to start with. You should buy all the missing items over there. Also, when you graduated from the Dragoon School, I thought Iād give this to you. Take it with you ⦠ā
I was given a sword ⦠It looks the same as the sword my father gave as a graduation gift when Jail graduated.
At that time, I thought that only my brother would be favored again ā¦
āFather, youāre giving me this Mithril sword?ā
āWhen Jail graduated, I had the same sword prepared for each of you brothers. I planned to gift you yours at your graduation, but Iāll give you now ⦠When you get Married and join the house over there, erase the royal family emblem. ā
The lost feelings for this person have rekindled!
A high-purity Mithril sword with the emblem of the Wolg royal family.
Itās a gem that wonāt be embarrassing no matter where you put it.
āThank you, Father!ā
This case seems to have been caused by what Iāve been doing so far.
The maids and guards who serve the royal family are terrible to me. I decided that it wouldnāt be better for me to transfer to a knight academy in the other country, so I agreed to go there without any hesitation.
In the end, I wasnāt able to remove the [Magic Bracelet] ⦠It was said that the only personal belongings I could bring were spare clothes and equipment, so it took little time to prepare my luggage. I put a set of compounding tools I had prepared secretly in a wooden box.
There are a lot of good things in my [subspace warehouse] ⦠There was also a compounding tool, but if Luke died at the time of my reincarnation, itās possible that all the contents of the [Subspace Warehouse] were thrown out.
Itās the default of this world that all the contents of [Subspace Warehouse] are released at the time of death.
āDid I die once?ā I canāt say anything strange ⦠Itās safer to keep silent cause I can check it when this braceletās removed.
* * *
The next morning, I woke up before the sun had risen ā¦
ā⦠what? Jail brother?ā
āOh, good morning Luke ā¦ā
Apparently, Jail will deliver me to the neighboring country.
āBrother, the only baggage I have is one bag and this wooden box. I didnāt expect to be taken by a dragon instead of a carriage.ā
āLuke, will you just accept this? To depart so early in the morning without eating breakfast or even telling our family ā¦ā
āI donāt, but I wonder if it can be helped this time ā¦ā
āHonestly, Iām disappointed in you father.ā
Rarely, is my brother rebellious against father ⦠but heās staring at him with angry eyes.
āJail, I have my own thoughts ⦠This is still for Lukeās benefit.ā
āWhat can be a good reason for sending Luke to be married off to the neighboring country without seeing him off or even telling his mothers and sisters!ā
āBrother, itās okay. He chose you so I wonāt run away.ā
āThatās right. And, to take a horse-drawn carriage to and from here, Ā r would take about 10 days. Please understand my little consideration.ā
āMaybe so, but stillā¦ā
āBrother, itās easy to get swept up by father ⦠He chose you as an escort because you can be used to shackle me so that I wonāt run away. Rather than being considerate of me, If I run away with this, you who was assigned this escort mission will be blamed. Heās worried that Iāll run if it was someone else so brother was chosen. ā
āThatās why !?ā
āNo ⦠well, thatās also ⦠Luke, donāt say it even if you know ā¦ā
āIām a little angry. I wanted to say goodbye to Chiruru and my sisters.ā
āIām sorry. Iām afraid youāll run away cause youāve run away from home so many times. Thatās why you were quarantined to your room, and I didnāt let anyone see you. Your actions have made me do this. Jail, donāt take off his handcuffs until you send him to the Dukeās family. This is my decree as king, not as a father. Luke, please just follow quietly this time ⦠ā¦. The antics that youāve done previously can become a problem later, even if itās a vassal state. ā
āIf youāre so worried, you shouldnāt choose me the problem child ⦠that? Is my brother the only one whoāll be escorting me? To send the crown prince on a mission to another country alone, isnāt it dangerous ?ā
āIt might be if it was other countries, but thereās no problem cause the neighboring country is like a relative. Well, this time I wanted it done in secret, so I decided to leave it to the reliable Jail. There is also danger if you were moving on the ground. But itās unlikely that youāll be attacked while youāre on the move with a Drake. ā
Demon beasts do not attack for fear of dragon-type drakes, and bandits are unlikely to have dragons ⦠Moving in the sky with dragons is safer than walking around in the city.
It seems that my father was afraid that my mother and sister would try to stop me from leaving, No doubt they would.
Since he doesnāt know if the information might leak from a knight, it seems that only three people, my father, my brother, and the prime minister, know about this matter.
I put my luggage, dowry and other items in my brotherās [Subspace Warehouse], and we set out for the Forel Kingdom on a dragon.
The only one seeing me off was my father, a lonely departure that I couldnāt think of for someone going to be a son-in-law.
At least, let me eat a decent breakfast! I think while Indignant, biting hard bread on the dragon.
āNi san, itās terrible that we canāt eat breakfast, isnāt it?ā
āOh, I canāt really understand what father is thinking this time around. Iām angry too, but he doesnāt hate you. You know that right? ā
āStill ⦠I feel like I was abandoned by my parents.ā
āIn a sense, the marriage of aristocrats is like this ⦠There may be some calculations as a country. This marriage story seems to have something to do with the king over there rather than the dukeās house though ā¦ā
āIs that so? Well, even if I stay in this country Iāll feel uncomfortable⦠Iāll put up with deportation for now, but ⦠they could have at least let me eat rice before sending me out.ā
āI can only say that youāre the son-in-law sent out by the country ⦠You can do it if you try. Rice isnāt so important ā¦youāre already said to be an āorc princeā, so donāt worsen your position by going too far. ā
It wasnāt until my brother told me that I noticed it, but it seems that I really have an eating disorder ⦠The effect of my memory is terrifying.
