Possessed in a Family of War Heroes

17 – Marriage story only I don’t know

In-law? Are you an in-law? What is this friend talking about now?

Have you heard anything strange in the car? Did the Koenies poison themselves?!

… No If that was the case, I wouldn’t be talking nonsense, I would have been coughing up blood.

“The commander-in-chief?”

“Wait, wait.”

I try hard to look back on my memories. What did you miss?

While digging into the past, there was one scene that came to mind.

When I was still in the field commander’s position. The days when this friend was the heir to the duchy.

The day I barely managed to drive away Königssen’s mighty attack and just sat down to catch my breath.

The moment when we exchanged the few cigarettes left and only had conversations that had no nutritional value.

“You bastard. Are you going to take the one left over? Are you still a knight of the Empire!”

“Was it a mast? Sorry. I’ll pay you back with the finest cigars later. Don’t be petty as an officer.”

When I think about it, it’s a little unfair. No, you can’t take the mast and be proud.

Among smokers, it is said that the last remaining cigarettes are sacrosanct. Damn it

“Whoa… Hey Will. Pretty good for an officer. They caught Köni like rats.”

“I thought you were the heir to the ducal family and only talked about it, but you are a good knight.”

An officer and a knight. Two digits that are similar yet completely different.

It was natural that the relationship was strained since it was in the middle of becoming the core of the place.

But starting with that fight, we became close friends.

I didn’t really care if it was the Marquis of Kenneth or the future Duke of Cainell.

The important thing is whether or not there is someone you can trust and entrust your back to.

We were good spears and shields to each other, and reliable comrades.

As an officer who leads the empire’s army, as a knight who should be an example for the army.

That’s how the guy and I did our best in our positions.

“Will.”

One day, as time passed, it became the core of the empire. He asked with his arms crossed.

“Officers and knights still get along a lot, don’t they?”

“It’s not at the level of saying that. If it wasn’t for the war, they would have been biting and biting and fighting happily.”

“Not good. Very bad. Right now, I’m quietly watching everywhere in the imperial family….”

“So you and I should try. If the core members of each group get along well, won’t they notice?”

“Right. That’s right, but that’s not enough. I need something bigger to put an ego fight to rest.”

Not enough. We need an excuse for greater unity. It was a very difficult word.

“If you are going to talk about politics, leave me out. My head hurts just listening to it.”

“You still need to know. Is it enough for the commander to fight the enemy? We have to fight elsewhere.”

“… I have nothing to say.”

Unlike our family, who kept a wall from politics, the other side was also active in that field.

As expected, the Duke’s family can’t do anything. I’d rather catch the Königssen than fight in the political arena.

“Will. Later on my child and your child. How about making a deal?”

“Children’s marriage? I wonder if it’s right for us to decide it this way?”

“Later on, the children’s intentions will be important too. But if there are no problems with the children, I want to strongly push the marriage. How are you?”

A blood alliance with the duke. It’s not bad. Rather, it is a great advantage.

My family is famous as a family of war heroes, but it won’t last forever.

The war will end someday, and then the value of its name will naturally fall.

If you have a relationship like this in preparation for that time, you won’t have anything to worry about in the future.

In addition, it could be an opportunity to resolve the conflict between the officer and the knight.

Aren’t they the central figures of officers and knights, respectively? A child born between them? That’s a good reason.

At that time, it was a very attractive proposal to me.

“Let’s talk about the details later. Later.”

“Yeah, good. Later. But don’t forget I suggested, and you should think about it.”

“I get it, I get it.”

That was the end of the talk about engagement. We never talked more about it.

And now, decades later. Just today.

“Have you forgotten? Commander-in-Chief?”

We thoroughly respect each other out of courtesy.

I saw a guy who was talking more playfully than ever before.

‘I forgot you just by looking at it. Right?’

“… If you’re thinking of him, Douglas, I’d like to say no.”

The eldest son doesn’t even go near a woman, let alone marry, until he’s over thirty.

On the contrary, Jeon Seung-gong’s children had already married and had children.

I have two daughters who are not yet married, but both are much younger than Douglas.

“The second daughter is now twenty-three, and the youngest is twenty.”

“The age gap is not a flaw. Commander-in-Chief.”

“I know, but our eldest son is not as interested in women. We’ve only seen each other a few times, not sure if we have feelings for each other, but it doesn’t seem like a marriage story.”

Did the daughters of Jeon Seung-gong actively woo Douglas?

This is the first time. This makes it all the more absurd to talk about marriage with her firstborn.

“But isn’t marriage engagement a good thing?”

“….”

As we talked, we could see that this guy had other plans.

Isn’t he a legend who cherishes his children more than anyone else, especially his daughters?

He still remembers saying that if his daughter loved her, she could take even a commoner as her son-in-law.

By the way, let’s join the children we’ve never seen before? It doesn’t make sense.

“… If.”

When I got to that point, the number of other cases naturally came to my mind.

“Not first, but second… are you talking about?”

Then, instead of answering, Jeon Seung-gong smiled and took a sip of tea.

I knew it would be like this. The subject of the marriage story was the second one.

Dug, you bastard. There is a story about your brother getting married rather than you. What are you doing?

“It was Lihi, right? The commander-in-chief’s second son.”

“Yes.”

“Do you remember our youngest daughter?”

“Isn’t that Ariete? I’m with Lee. She said this time she got into the academy, right?”

Nodding her head as if the transmission ball was satisfied.

What is it? What the hell happened to such a reaction–

“Actually our youngest daughter, she followed him.”

“… What?”

I was surprised at the moment and a strange answer came out. Who follows whom

“It is literally. Will. Your son took my daughter.”

*

The position of a knight is indeed tedious and difficult.

Even I have thought for a moment why I am doing this.

I stopped it several times when the youngest boy said he wanted to do it.

No, I tried to dry it. As a result, I couldn’t dry it.

It wasn’t just because it was difficult. Because of me, because of this father.

I was afraid that the youngest would have a hard time suffering from all kinds of comparisons.

“I want to write an article.”

“Ar. That….”

“I will. Article.”

“… I get it.”

They said that there are no parents who win over their children. I’m so stubborn, what can I do?

In the end, she had no choice but to allow her youngest daughter to become a knight.

After that, I checked several times a day to see how they were doing.

Although his talent is a bit lacking, did he say that he makes up for it with hard work?

She said she never wanted to surpass her father or match him.

I just wanted to be a knight, so they said that was all.

I couldn’t even cheer properly. I was afraid that even that would be a burden.

She had to be content with watching her youngest daughter advance little by little in the distance.

Let’s not burden you. Let’s be careful even with what we say.

Then one day. Arr declared it like this.

“I have decided. I would like to apply for double faculties.”

“Double Faculty?”

“The Knights Division and the Officers Division.”

At first, I thought he was eating something wrong.

Should I call the chef and investigate what ingredients were used?

Why does a guy who wants to be a knight suddenly go to the Officers Faculty?

“Father.”

The reason was soon revealed.

“An interesting man appeared in front of me.”

“Man?”

For a moment, I wondered if some goddamn bastard had bewitched our youngest daughter.

Find it right away, and if it’s not up to par, I’ll break the leg club in the name of the duke….

“Rich Reinhardt.”

A club… Hmm. I can’t break it.

“You know. Father. If I miss him, I’m sure I’ll regret it later.”

“Suddenly, I can’t understand what you’re talking about. Bump… Are you looking at me as a member of the opposite s*x?”

I heard that Will’s second son, Rich, also entered the academy.

Arwa is motivated by her same age. We meet often, and since we’re the same age, there must be something in common.

If something happened as a man and a woman in the midst of that, I wouldn’t be able to say anything.

“Um… I’m not sure about that.”

I don’t know. What the hell is this guy talking about?

“But. One thing is for sure, if I lose it, I think it will be very divided. No It will be divided unconditionally.”

“….”

The talent as a knight is slanderous if you look at it objectively and sharply.

However, he is a child who is better than me when it comes to seeing people.

If he misses, he’ll regret it. He says he’s going to split.

So what? Of course, as a father, you have to trust your daughter’s judgment.

Will now. No, he said to schedule a meeting with the commander-in-chief.

And right now, I am conveying that meaning.

“It is literally. Will. Your son took my daughter.”

Isn’t that a joke? Sounds like a joke, right? But no, my friend.

Your son stole my daughter.

So take responsibility. In order to fulfill the promise we made a long time ago.

“… Wait Call your son right away to find out the truth….”

No, but don’t be like that. This human
