It seems that the plan I made earlier, to match Rebecca, is basically out of the question.
"This... Senator Trena, Miss Rebecca is very beautiful, but what we talked about was all related to the topic of Demon Statue making. I think she should have soone better as another half." Lord Rein declined politely.
For Fourth Level Witchcraft, to marry a girl I don’t quite like?
Rein imdiately vetoed this idea.
"Is there anything else you would like to do?" Rein asked.
"Lord Rein, can you beco the Guardian Knight of the Heidelberg Duchy?" Trena thought for a mont and said.
She naturally had her own reasons for proposing this condition.
As long as Rein becos the Guardian Knight of the Duchy, he could slowly evolve into a Guardian of the Federation.
Guardian Knight?
Rein is well aware of what a Guardian Knight needs to do.
Family Guardian Knight, as the na implies, protects a family with which Rein only promised one, the Crawley family where Jennifer belongs.
In fact, now Jennifer is the head of the Crawley family, and she’s his person, naturally, no harm.
As for the personal Guardian Knight, Rein has currently committed only to Cleya.
"Sorry, my identity is quite sensitive, and it is indeed difficult to agree to your request, Lady Trena."
"Well... how about this? I can agree to beco your personal Guardian Knight," Rein thought for a mont and said.
After all, the other’s condition isn’t too demanding or even rather relaxed, but as his status as Vice Chief of the Imperial General Staff, it’s not appropriate to serve as the Guardian Knight for a Duchy under the Federation.
Of course, after repeatedly refusing the beautiful woman twice, Rein also proposed a condition he could accept.
As a personal Guardian Knight, it was much easier to explain.
Moreover, Rein took advantage of it because Trena, as a Federation senator, is unlikely to encounter any security issues.
That is to say, his role as Guardian Knight is more in na.
Trena’s face reddened further upon hearing this.
After all, becoming her Guardian Knight is equivalent to directly expressing pursuit of her, isn’t it?
"This... alright." Trena thought for a mont and agreed.
Indeed, this counts as taking their relationship a step further.
Though, it is still quite a distance from the minimum requirents of the intelligence departnt.
...
After Rein and Trena erged from the lounge.
Rebecca, who had been waiting for a while, quickly approached, gave Rein a heavy huff, and dragged her mother away.
Seated at the main seat of the hall, the Red Queen nia’s beautiful eyes lingered briefly on the just exited Rein and Trena before swiftly moving away.
anwhile, accompanying Vice Speaker Bertrand naturally saw this scene, and his smile grew more radiant.
"Prince nia, interested in dancing?"
"Thank you, I haven’t danced in a long ti."
...
After the banquet.
The Empire Delegation prepared to return to the residence to rest.
However, just as Rein was about to board the carriage, nia suddenly called him.
"Rein, co in my carriage."
"Alright, Prince nia." Although Rein was a little puzzled about why nia was looking for him, he nodded in agreent imdiately.
Rein followed nia, clad in a red Wizard Robe, into the sa carriage cabin.
But as nia stepped into the cabin, the hem of the red Wizard Robe flared significantly when she lifted her leg, bringing a fragrant breeze and revealing two long, white rounded legs.
Furthermore, due to her bending motion, the well-fitted Wizard Robe outlined nia’s round, tempting curves before Rein’s eyes.
This made Rein montarily stationary as he looked.
Deeply admiring nia’s excellent figure, it was undeniably on par with the beautiful woman Trena.
However, Rein glanced briefly and imdiately shifted his gaze.
Knowing full well that the Red Queen nia is a veteran Dawn Wizard with extrely sensitive perception, lingering too long would certainly be noticed and thus awkward.
Once they were seated, nia’s beautiful eyes looked at Rein, speaking bluntly:
"Rein, be careful of the Federation’s sugar-coated shells."
nia’s words made Rein’s face blush slightly, though in the dim light of the cabin’s oil lamp, it wasn’t very clear.
"Well... okay, Prince nia."
"And so private invitations, refuse them if you can, try not to attend."
"There are many people here in the Federation who do not welco us. Besides, I’ve received transmission from the Empire’s Spy within the Federation; so opposition forces may take action soon."
"Oh? Opposition forces?" Rein thought thoughtfully.
Actually, he knows there are opposition groups within the Empire as well.
For example, many powerful Nobles still firmly oppose cooperation with the Federation, which is complex in reasons, involving both interests and historical feuds.
Tracing the historical feuds would lead to the story at the very beginning of the Federation’s establishnt.
And it’s evident the Federation is the sa way.
"Yes, particularly a force nad the Zaral Rebellion, which has been very active recently." nia nodded and said.
"The Zaral Rebellion?" Rein raised an eyebrow.
This, he is quite familiar.
Previously in ister, he had killed a figure of Quasi-General level from the opposite side.
Furthermore, he had interrogated the opposition, and there seems to be Federation support in military and funding behind the Zaral Rebellion.
