Elviss Perspective

The sky was so clear as if it was suggesting that today was a blessing from the heavens, and His Highness was smiling at me carefreely. I wondered if I was being disrespectful for wanting to slander him by calling him a greenhorn.

Ive finally reached you after eight years.

I didnt get sloppy just because I received a single hit from him. In fact, I had also grazed his cheek because I hadnt gone easy on him.

Even so, he was able to get a hit on me.

Although Ive felt myself decline from my golden days, I still understand how strong I am ――― to the extent that I didnt lose that much, not even against an active knight.

As a retainer, Im happy that His Highness has gotten stronger.

But, Im not in the mood to congratulate him.

Whats the point of being happy about winning against an old man?

Im not going to say that it was a coincidencet, and Im not going to make excuses about him accurately exploiting the opportunity that had been presented to him. However, this might be immature of me, but Im not wasted away enough for him to use the same method twice.

Of course, Im not quite there yet. But I think it means a lot for me to be able to get a hit on you today. Elvis, you must be worried about giving your daughter to a very weak man.

Today, does he mean the ceremony?

If so, then I would like to keep my win as it has been instead of worshipping His Highnesss growth.

Im not opposed to this marriage. However, I dont want it either.

The only reason I accepted was because Cordelia wanted it. I would have wished for this if it was 20 years ago, but ――― I dont wish for it anymore and didnt think about it either, so it was hard to express my feelings when the conversation took a turn in that direction.

Father-in-law, please continue to guide me.

Dont call me that in public.

Unfortunately, I understand that well. Please forgive me for calling you that.

I couldnt say anything further because His Highness looked apologetic. I wasnt sure what to say about this because I had already agreed to it.

Even though I thought that, I still couldnt believe that His Highness had asked Cordelia to marry him.

When I first heard His Highnesss proposal, I thought it was nothing more than a joke.

Its not surprising for Cordelia to have met His Highness at the castle, but Ive never heard her mention him before. However, even if his proposal to persuade her was surprising, Cordelias reaction to him was as if they were old friends.

If I think about it that way, I felt like I had suffered more damage, but ―――.

Please listen to my declaration. I think I will put Cordelia through many hardships because of my position. But I will do my best to make her feel glad that shes with me no matter what happens.

It doesnt feel bad that my daughter is important enough to him that he had to go out of his way to tell me this. As His Highness said, it could be more troublesome for her to marry him rather than have her marry into another family or have her take over the Weltoria House. His words told of his inexperience, but I noticed from how he handled his sword today that he didnt plan on leaving that as a pipedream.
