Chapter 11

Brielle's third birthday has arrived.

This birthday party was held on a larger scale than before. They decided to invite all the important people in the capital and distribute bread for the poor commoners.

Marie looked at the finished party hall with Brielle with a deeply moved expression.

"Young Master, can you see it?"

Nobles had yet to arrive, but there were a fancy chandelier and a chocolate fountain for children in the center, and musicians were also seen preparing musical instruments.

Unlike Brielle's birthday so far, this birthday had a special meaning. It was to officially reveal that Brielle was the successor to the Count by holding a fancy party.

The nobles did not know that the young count would not get married and officially put his nephew in the first line of the succession, so the social world was disturbed for a while.

There were no nobles who would easily marry their daughters to the count because the children born of their daughters would not be the successors.
[ T/N: Get away, Brielle's uncle is for Marie only XD ]

Even though it is the chancellor who has risen to the best position, it has become difficult to obtain a reliable wife, so there are many words that he will regret it in the future.

However, when the Count heard such words, he laughed at those who thought it was pathetic.

***

Brielle's uncle and Chancellor of this kingdom, Kentrail Charant, was emotionless and cold on the outside, contrary to Marie and Brielle's perspective.

He often avoided everyone's gaze with his cool glance, where his unique emotions were never revealed.

In addition, shortly after he became the chancellor, Kentrail captured those who had stolen from the Government Treasury and further made him regarded as cold-hearted.

Kentrail told those who visited the palace, declaring that he had done nothing wrong.

"One last thing, I came here to save the Royal family's finances in this way. I think the treasury was almost used to fill the allowances."

That's all Kentrail said when he pulled out a double accounting ledger.

"I think he looks like he earned a living."

As if possessed by the appearance of Kentrail, a noble lady covered her face with a fan and said to the person next to her.

"What he does and the things he says doesn't seem to match."

One of the nobles, who was listening, shook his head and spoke.

"If you work together with him, you'll know."

Not long ago, he applied for a job to work under the Count, but everyone thought he was a fool because he had no work brain, and Kentrail had picked the wrong person.

Except for him.

The people next to him shook their heads at his words and turned their gaze back to the stairs where the Count would descend. There was still some time left until the scheduled time for the party, so everyone was waiting for the protagonist.
