After Leon's recent achievents, important and influential people began to take notice of him. At the sa ti, letters from girls closer to his age started arriving. Unfortunately, he had been unable to respond to these letters personally in the past due to his young age. Instead, Barcus had to handle the correspondence for him.
Now, however, since Leon officially held his own noble title, he was required to respond to the letters himself.
"Answer them politely, my boy," said Lucy as Leon began to read the first letter.
The content of the letter turned out to be rather curious. It didn't feel like the girl was proposing marriage to Leon out of affection. Instead, it ca across as if she were pitying him and "graciously" granting him permission to marry her. Furthermore, she demanded that he provide financial support once they were wed. Attached to the letter was a photograph of the girl. She wasn't particularly beautiful but couldn't be called unattractive either—sowhere in between.
"And we're supposed to respond to letters like this politely?" the second muttered in disbelief.
"And what should we write to make sure they aren't offended? I'm definitely not planning to marry soone like that," the first said indignantly.
After thinking for a mont, the second suggested:
"Let's just reply to all of them the sa way. I don't want to waste ti on these letters right now, so let's write sothing like this."
Taking control of the body, the second began drafting a response:
Please accept my sincere gratitude for your letter. Your kind words brought great pleasure, and I deeply appreciate the attention you have shown . However, due to my current age and responsibilities, I am unable to consider marriage or the search for a life partner at this ti.
May I propose that we revisit this matter in the future, once I reach the age of fifteen and am better prepared to give such topics the attention they deserve?
With respect and best wishes,
Leon Bartfort
Reading the reply, the first had to ask, "You just lied through your teeth in that letter, didn't you?"
"Yep," confird the second. "It's the best response for situations like this. Now let's copy it and send it to all of them."
Picking up the second letter, the second confird that it was yet another marriage proposal and promptly sent the sa reply.
"Won't this cause problems in the future?" the first asked uneasily. "Like, what if they show up with the letter when we turn fifteen?"
Pausing briefly in his writing, the second replied, "By then, we can just turn them down."
"You're terrible," Luxion suddenly interjected, appearing out of nowhere.
"Ahh!" the Leons scread. "Damn it, give us a warning before showing up!"
"But I'm not even alive," Luxion responded.
"Fine, just don't scare like that," Leon said, exhaling deeply and turning his attention back to the AI. "So, how's it going? Found anyone yet?"
Luxion wobbled his body slightly, signaling a negative response.
"All other AIs are currently in a dormant state. I'm struggling to pick up their signals. For now, I'm restricted to this kingdom and lack the resources to expand my search radius."
"I see," Leon murmured, scratching his head.
The second glanced at the first, suddenly asking, "Was there anyone like Luxion in the first part of the ga?"
After a mont of thought, the first replied, "No, only him."
Pondering further, the second's eyes widened in realization, lighting up with excitent.
"Wait, I know where we can find one!"
