I like traveling the most

[Li Yestije Kingdom] is located in the central and western region of the northwest corner of the mainland. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on two sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is bordered by [Bahas Empire] to the east, [Silian Theocracy] to the south, and [Agland Council] to the north. It is a geographical situation surrounded by three countries.

The natural geographical barrier blocked the kingdom from the attacks of demi-humans and the military power of other countries, creating a unique and comfortable environment.

Of course, this also led to the country becoming comfortable and creating a situation where the rulers did not want to make progress.

[Le Yestije Kingdom] implements a feudal monarchy system. The king occupies 30% of the national territory, the six nobles occupy a total of 30% of the national territory, and the other small and medium-sized nobles collectively occupy the remaining 40%.

Due to the over-differentiation of the land, the royal power declined, and it was unable to effectively control the situation of its nobles, making it impossible to uniformly deploy and implement government orders. In terms of politics, they are basically divided into [King-supporting Faction] and [Aristocratic Faction]. These two factions represent different camps.

And I, Lin, am the most powerful noble among the six nobles, the second son of the Marquis Reborn family.

The simple carriage, which was pure white with blue edges, drove on the spacious road, and then slowly stopped in front of the courtyard gate of a luxurious mansion.

After the car stopped, the door opened, and a handsome boy with aqua blue hair, a tall figure, and a white priest's uniform, about 18 or 9 years old, slowly walked out of the carriage.

Then, the old butler, who was already waiting in front of the door, was meticulously dressed and very decent, stepped forward, bowed to the young man and said:

"Jiu Shu greets Mr. Lin and welcomes you back."

"Hey, long time no see, Sebastian."

"...Mr. Lin, the villain's name is Hagen, not Sebastian."

"I know. But don't you think the name Sebastian is more convenient? What, do you want to change your name?"

"Master Lin, please stop playing tricks on the villain."

"Hahaha——, you're kidding."

She patted the shoulder of the old butler who was smiling bitterly, and signaled the other person not to be so nervous, and that she had no intention of asking him to change his name.

Stretching to relieve the fatigue caused by riding in a carriage for a long time, looking at the green courtyard that was almost unchanged from when he left, the young man named Lin asked:

"Is the Marquis Reborn here?"

"Yes, the master of the family is currently receiving distinguished guests in the study, but he said that you can go to him directly when you return."

It means that there is no time to rest and adjust, and it means to go directly to the person himself.

Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?

The young man scratched his head and said, "I understand, please lead the way."

"Master Lin, please come this way."

The old housekeeper bowed and led him into the courtyard.

Even though he had lived here for ten years before, he still had to abide by the rules of the nobility, not to mention that he did not belong to this family now.

The mansion is huge, and it takes a long time just to walk in the courtyard.

There are brightly colored flowers on both sides of the road. They were bare before we left, but unexpectedly they became lush and leafy in the blink of an eye. It made me sigh at the passage of time.

I didn't meet anyone on the way. I entered the luxurious mansion and walked to the remote and hidden room at the corner of the second floor. Through my keen hearing, I could hear the subtle voices inside. The old housekeeper knocked on the door, and the conversations inside stopped abruptly. Stop.

After a pause.

"Master of the family, Master Lin is back."

"...Let him in."

A cold and calm voice came from within the room.

The old housekeeper opened the door, bowed and motioned for the aqua-blue haired boy to come in. After he entered, he closed the door thoughtfully.

Before he entered, there were two men in the large room.

Among them is a middle-aged man standing in front of the table wearing a gray robe, with his head slightly lowered and a respectful expression on his face. This man's name is Simi. He is an administrator serving the territory of the Marquis Reborn family. It seems that he is here to report. Territorial work.

Behind the heavy and wide table in the room, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows that let in sunlight, stood a thin and tall man with the sunlight behind him. His blond hair is smoothed back to symbolize his meticulousness, his slender, delicate blue eyes and slightly raised corners of his mouth. His appearance should have been handsome, but due to his thinness and lack of sun exposure, his pale complexion gave people a snake-like impression.

It is the most powerful noble among the six nobles of the Kingdom of Li Yestije, Marquis Reborn.

Seeing the boy with aqua-blue hair coming in, Simi quickly bowed to him and greeted him.

"Master Lin."

"Um."

The young man smiled and nodded in response.

Then the Marquis in front of the floor-to-ceiling window seemed not to care. He didn't even look at his brother and continued to ask:

"Simi, is there anything else?"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Simi, who had just said hello, lowered his head again as if he had done something wrong. After a pause, he said: "...and Princess Lana, I hope we can agree to her request, and for this she is willing to use [that] to trade.”

"Tsk, that wanton princess!"

Marquis Rebuen narrowed his eyes, and his already slender blue eyes now looked more dangerous like a snake.

"I have my own plans for this matter."

Then there was silence.

There was wordless silence, the room was silent, and Simi kept his head bowed and bent. It was only when he was sweating profusely from the feeling of depression that the Marquis's voice slowly floated out.

"If nothing happens, just retreat first."

"call……."

With sweat on his forehead, Ximi exhaled slightly, and his tense body relaxed. But then, he felt a strong sympathy for the young man with blue hair and a peaceful smile on his face.

The other party was obviously the second son of the Marquis, but he was treated like this by the Marquis, and even his family name was deprived. It is conceivable how embarrassing it would be for a noble to be deprived of his family name.

But this was the Marquis's family affair, and it was not something that he, a lower-level administrative official of the territory, could get involved in. The pressure just now had already made him sweat profusely.

"Mr. Marquis, I will withdraw first."

"Yes."

After receiving the answer, Ximi saluted and left quickly.

There was another silence.

After a long time, the Marquis, who was posing in front of the French window, suddenly paused, turned around and walked to the boy in three or two steps, and then hugged him in his arms. The huge contrast between the before and after was shocking.

"Um, Marquis..."

"Hmm?"

"Brother Elias."

"Hmm!"

Hearing the satisfied address, the cold face of the Marquis, who was as cold as a snake, melted and a friendly smile appeared.

Who would have thought that five years ago, the man who was ambitious to make a big splash in the kingdom and even wanted to usurp the throne and marry the Marquis' daughter to further achieve his goal, would lose his ambitions the moment he had a child and become a person who loves his family very much, even to a certain extent.

For example, in order to prevent his younger brother from being used by other nobles and persecuted by the royal family, he abolished the family name first and pretended to have a very bad relationship in front of outsiders... and so on.

The young man who was hugged said softly:

"Half a year has passed, brother Elias."

Bar Book 69 New

"To be exact, it's half a year and twenty-two days, Lin."

"Are you blaming me for not writing to you during this period?"

"How could that be? It's just that your sister-in-law and nephew miss you very often."

"...I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Lin simply bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

He knew that he must not talk back to his brother when it came to family affection, otherwise he would face a three-hour long lecture.

The two came to the sofa and sat down face to face.

Marquis Leibun sighed, "But this trip was really long, it took half a year."

"Indeed. If it weren't for the Kingdom's order, I might have been asked to stay for a while."

"So, what's the matter?"

"Yes, this visit to the Holy Kingdom of Roble has helped me understand more about faith magic."

Although the religious beliefs of the [Holy Kingdom of Roble] are not as strong as those of the [Silen Theocracy], it is also a country with a strong religious color, with the Holy King as the apex and cooperating with the temple forces to rule.

The nobles there are very proficient in magic knowledge, and it is faith magic. Kobayashi, who is also proficient in faith magic, has indeed gained a lot this time.

"That's not what I'm talking about, Lin. I know that the envoys haven't returned for such a long time because the Saint Princess refused to come back. To be more precise, it's because of you, right?"

"Brother Elias, why are you..."

"Unlike someone, Her Highness the Saint Princess has sent several letters."

"Haa..."

"And there are also requests for you to become the Saint Princess' husband, and even the letters have been forwarded to His Majesty the King."

"What did you say?!!!"

The young man named Lin was dumbfounded.

He really wanted to ask him to stop teasing him, but seeing his brother's expression that didn't seem fake, and the Saint Princess's character that might really do such a thing, he fell silent.

"Would you like to see the letter?"

"...Forget it."

Shaked his head and refused.

Choosing to read would only make it more embarrassing.

Seeing him like this, Lord Lei Buen asked curiously, "You are so nervous. It is said that the Saint Queen has a beautiful face that is called a national treasure. Is it not true?"

"No, it is true." Lin shook his head and whispered, "Even she developed new magic for skin care after discussing it with me."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

It is better not to spread the fact that the head of a country developed magic for beauty. Moreover, the Saint Queen also requested the same and had paid hush money in advance.

——The two discussed magic together.

However, when they were alone, they were always coveted by each other, and they always felt that they were the ones who suffered losses.

"Lin, do you think you don't like the Holy Queen?"

"How could that be? Her lovely and cold face is as beautiful as a flower, her long golden hair is shining, and her smile is enough to be called a saint, like an angel's wheel. No matter which man sees her, he will be amazed by her beauty."

"Then why..."

"How should I put it? Although Her Highness the Holy Queen is excellent in ability and well-mannered, she is extremely anxious about marriage and has tried too hard to dissuade many men who have a crush on her."

In fact, Calca Besares... Her Highness the Holy Queen is more serious than Lin said.

As she gets older, the Holy Queen is very anxious and eager to find a marriage partner. She is even so anxious that she will accept anyone as long as he is not using her and is a man who truly loves her.

By the way, there is also a reason for developing faith magic to maintain her skin and youth.

Marquis Leibun pretended to be melancholy and said, "Really? Her Highness the Saint Princess is so outstanding, and you are also of marriageable age."

"Brother, can you stop looking so worried about my future?"

"Well, after all, you have many supporters in the capital. If you spread the news that you want to get married, I'm sure those noble ladies will flock to you."

"Brother Elias!"

Under the boy's slightly embarrassed and annoyed roll of eyes, the Marquis shook his head and stopped teasing.

Lin also said helplessly: "Besides, brother, you know I can't go because there are still things that I am worried about."

"Oh, you mean the church you founded? What's it called?"

"Akusis Church. Brother, you funded the church, so you should at least care about it."

"I care a lot. For example, they always publicize the goddess they believe in and spread strange declarations of joining the church; for example, they wantonly pull people into the church on the street, and if they don't join the church, they will pester them and not let go, causing pedestrians to avoid them... and so on?"

"...What are you talking about? We are a formal church."

Turning his head away from the other party, the brother also enjoyed the rare embarrassed expression of his younger brother.

Lin had to sigh that he was worthy of being the Marquis, and he actually grasped his lifeline at once.

"Ahem, in short, I won't get married for the time being."

"That's a pity. The letter from the Saint Queen is very sincere and urgent."

Marquis Leibun was a little regretful.

It's really a pity. The Saint Queen is famous in the mainland for her appearance, status, and talent. Wouldn't it be a pity if she refused?

However, he also knew his brother's character. If he refused, he must have his own considerations. After all, since he was six years old, he has become extremely intelligent after obtaining the [Wisdom of the Goddess].

"By the way, brother, the conversation just now about Princess Lana..."

"Lin, it's late today, and you just came back. Go and rest first. There will be a family dinner in the evening, you go and prepare."

"I... I know. I'll take my leave first, brother."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Lin could not continue to ask, so he turned around and left.

Close the door.

"Really, do you still think of yourself as a child? There should be a limit if you don't want your family to be dragged into the whirlpool, you worrying brother."

He muttered softly.

At this time, a maid appeared behind him.

A beautiful woman with thick blonde hair and deep features, wearing a calm maid outfit with a large apron and a long skirt. She was about 170cm tall, with a slender figure and plump breasts that almost burst out from the chest of the maid outfit, which was very eye-catching.

The overall feeling was gentle and elegant.

At this time, she bowed slightly to the boy in front of her.

"Master Lin."

"It's "Hua"."

"I have something to report to you."

Hearing this, Lin also narrowed his eyes, with the same expression as the Marquis just now.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Yes."

The two left one after the other.
