With what could only be described as a sales smile, Welner addressed the startled young man. The young man and his father stiffened when they were approached. The military nobleman who had occupied this city was right in front of them.
They rushed to thank him, but Welner held up a hand to stop them.
“You don’t have to introduce yourselves to , but I will introduce myself, I am Welner Von Zeavert, and I will give you back Miss Annika.” (Welner)
“Um, why did the Viscount, uh…” (Bert)
His father, the chairman, stiffened by the sudden events, while his son, Bert, answered a little shakily.
“I am just doing what I feel like, and I don’t really care if it’s a forced engagent between your parents or not, I have no business intervening. Above all, I am in a similar position to Sir.” (Welner)
This comnt caused all the people gathered around them to look at each other with surprised expressions, wondering what had happened.
They rembered about Viscount Zeavert, who was about to marry a commoner girl, and the story about Coltrezis House, who had tried to take her away from him.
Welner, who orchestrated this event, spoke to Bert with a smile on his face.
“I can confirm that Bert and Annika’s father might lose their position in this city after things have settled down, but will Bert still take good care of Annika?” (Welner)
“Yes, of course, I will make her happy.” (Bert)
Max was smiling at the young man in the background, but Welner pretended not to notice, and like an aristocrat, raised his voice firmly.
“Very well, Bert Lamrz, I comnd your determination. I congratulate you on your engagent in the na of Welner Von Zeavert.” (Welner)
At Welner’s proclamation, the knights, who had lined up lit their torches and played a festive tune on their trumpets. The sa tune echoed from all parts of the city in response.
Welner, who then mounted his horse and was about to return, was thinking inwardly that so people might find this annoying since it was still night.
“Unfortunately, I’m too busy to attend your wedding, but I wish you all the best.” (Welner)
“Oh, thank you, sir.” (Annika)
“I will not forget the debt I owe you, Viscount.” (Bert)
Bert and Annika both addressed Welner with half-crying expressions, while Bert’s father, the Chairman, bowed his head with a complicated expression on his face.
Welner knew that their engagent was not all that simple. It might not be a large city, but from the perspective of the chairman of the Chamber of Comrce, strengthening the relationship with the deputy through marriage was not a bad option. 𝘙₳𐌽O͍𝖇Εs̈
Welner even believed that the relationship between the eldest son of the chairman and the daughter of the deputy was probably arranged for the sake of profit as well.
However, Welner was concerned about what would happen to Annika since Gid had already lost his position as deputy and was ready to sell his daughter to save his skin, so Welner got a little nosy.
If the chairman of the Chamber of Comrce were to break off an engagent that Welner had personally blessed, it would an that the Chamber of Comrce had ruined the image of the nobility, which would seriously damage their future relationship with the nobles. Thus, Welner felt that the chairman would not take such a risk.
At the sa ti, Welner also thought that if the first topic of conversation in the occupied city was celebration, the city’s impression of the Kingdom Army would change.
For this reason, he went to the trouble of enlisting the cooperation of other noble families to stage a performance, and it would spread throughout the city. Seyfart was then arrested after the songs were played.
By the early morning of the next day, the details of this late-night incident had spread throughout the city, and the residents welcod the main force of the Kingdom Army led by the Crown Prince Hubertus with shouts of welco.
