　strung on parchmentlistlistLooking at her, Father nodded gravely.
　
"Well, it's something like this."
　
　What my father has in his hand is a plan that summarizes the guests and the order of attendance - for me and Elizabeth's wedding.
　It's the crown prince's wedding, of course, you have to send out invitations to the royal families of neighboring countries as well as the nobles of your own country, and how much to invite their spouses and heirs is also related to formality and expectations. Making me come up with that plan was also to see my understanding of diplomacy.
　
　For example, Orion, the neighboring country in the north, invites not only Crown Prince Marius-dono, but also his younger brother Leohart, who has experience studying abroad in our country, and Marius-dono's fiancée, Miss Lisha. This is natural, but since the King of Neve, the neighboring country to the south, does not have a queen or crown prince, and I have been friends with him since childhood, I will send an invitation to the King, Ricardo-dono.
　In addition to these personal friendships, one must carefully consider who to invite and what kind of invitations to countries where the situation is not favorable. It's also an opportunity to think about who I should be connected to if I become the king.
　
　I was relieved when I was told that I had passed without any problems.
　
"This is the most troublesome... because it's an important matter."
　
　Didn't you just say it's troublesome, Father? It's still important, so I won't push it. I vaguely suspected that there was a double meaning in making me do it.
　
“Then, please adjust the schedule.”
"Umu. You should continue to make arrangements for Eri-tan."
"will"
"Ah... Vincent"
　
　Suddenly my name was called and I tilted my head at the strange atmosphere.
　Father is staring at me with an unusually serious look. Her blue eyes, the same as mine, threw a thoughtful color behind her heavy eyelids.
　
"No matter what, I will marry Miss Elizabeth."
"Of course it is."
　
　It goes without saying.
　I gave my father a suspicious look. His father, who is Elizabeth Mompe, reminded me... but his tone of voice was too real.
　When I couldn't measure the meaning, my father's mouth loosened with a grin.
　
"No... it's fine. When I thought that the day would finally come when I could see Eri-tan every day, I think my heart was pounding. For you, it didn't even need to be said."
　
　I furrowed my eyebrows, using my denial in my heart as an excuse. It was certain that even if I asked my father any more, he wouldn't reveal the truth, and I wondered if he was willing to meet every day.
　What will happen to my newlywed life?
　
　For the time being, father, let's ask the steward to do a lot of public affairs. Visiting various places, diplomacy, dinner parties.
　Without showing such a burden, I bowed my head with a straight face and left my father's presence.
　I immediately went to my room.
　
　
　The time is past the height of summer.
　Half a year has passed since the third year of the academia began.
　In a few months, most of the lectures will be over by the end of the year, and the graduation party will be held shortly after the new year.
　And from there, the marriage rush of nobles begins.
　
　Those who have graduated from academia have various career paths, such as staying in the royal capital and getting a position, starting a business, returning to their hometown and starting to manage a territory, but the environment and titles of most people change.
　In that case, one more thing to put on—it's not like that, but the event that I want to complete while I'm in the royal capital where Academia is located is an event related to marriage... in other words, a wedding.
　
　Every year from early spring to early summer, news of the marriage of young aristocrats who have graduated from academia continues. It's the season when clerks get busy.
　There are various methods depending on the family, and there are times when it ends with submitting a marriage oath to the royal palace, and there are times when a ceremony is held, and the scale is wide-ranging.
　There is no doubt that this will be the case again this year, but with one exception.
　This year, I, the crown prince, will graduate.
　In other words, the aristocrats thought that me and Elizabeth's wedding ceremony would be held, and they were waiting for the situation without giving out the news of the wedding ceremony in advance.
　
　And in order to live up to that expectation, the royal family put all its efforts into making arrangements (?).
