"……Yeah."

Alice's tone was also unusually calm.

She probably had already accepted it deep down.

Kyrie I stood silently to the side.

Even with the strength of the Sword King.

And that couldn't stop it all.

She could only watch helplessly as her savior was killed.

This hatred was deeply etched in her heart.

"So, what should we do next?"

Alice asked.

"That's true, the question is what to do next..."

Philip sipped his red wine, gazing into the distance.

"The Boreas family has lost the trust of the royal family in this transfer incident."

"Although we have not been stripped of our noble titles... at this time of internal and external troubles, we need a huge amount of funds to rebuild our territory."

"So... how exactly should we do it?"

How to do it?

That's what you said!

“Philip, there’s something I need to tell you upfront.”

Gilead spoke.

"If you want to use Alice to secure Grerat's future, I will never forgive you."

"Ok, I know."

"So……"

"But are there any other ways besides this?"

Under the gaze of everyone.

Philip gazed out the window.

"The territory of Fituia needs money to recover; Boreas is now a mere shell of its former self."

"Alice can no longer live like she used to."

"Even I..."

"in this case."

"Marrying Alice to Pliemon will not only provide financial support, but also allow Alice to live the same aristocratic life as before."

"What's wrong with that?"

"How could you possibly be happy marrying that kind of man!"

"Even if he is a scumbag, he is still from a prestigious family. You can find many examples of people who have found happiness in non-voluntary marriages."

"So what! Philip, no matter how nicely you talk, you haven't considered Alice at all!"

Gilead knew perfectly well.

Although Philip's words sounded wonderful.

But in reality, Alice is still being used as a victim of aristocratic power.

The two kept talking, but neither could convince the other.

"Alice, what do you think?"

Philip smiled and looked at Alice.

"If you have a better way, feel free to share it."

"so be it."

Alice said calmly.

She looked calm and had accepted her fate.

"Lady Alice! You don't need to do this..."

Kyrie I clenched his fists and said urgently.

“Father is right.”

Alice said calmly.

"No matter how you look at it, this is the best choice... and the fate I, as Boreas, should accept."

"Well……"

Kyrie Irvine's expression changed drastically.

She turned her head.

He stared at me with an incredibly frightening gaze.

"Rudius, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Gileadnu gritted his teeth and said."

“If it’s you…right! Philip, Rudeus is also Notos, let Miss Alice marry Rudeus…”

"That's not how it is, Gilead."

Philip let out a long sigh.

"Things are different now..."

……

I can understand Philip's feelings.

He is an ambitious man.

He has been preparing to reclaim the position of head of the household.

They even wanted to use my marriage with Alice to force me to marry into their family.

But from the perspective of the nobility, Philip did not do anything wrong.

Nobles are such disgusting things.

but.

Things are different now.

Now Philip has no chips left.

The Great Migration destroyed everything.

Although he survived by sheer luck, he was no longer the ambitious Philip.

only.

He's just the mayor of Roya.

all in all.

that's it.

The decision has been made.

Alice will marry Notos; the letter has already been sent.

I expect to receive a reply in two or three days.

……

Philip arranged accommodations for me.

It's a building located next to the headquarters. Although it's called a building, it's actually a place used by refugees.

It's clear that this was a hastily constructed facility.

Alice was taken away by Philip, who said it was to make preparations for their wedding.

I moved my luggage inside.

That being said.

I don't plan to stay here for long; I'll probably leave soon.

……

In the next few days.

I've mostly been busy building houses near the refugee camps.

Clap your hands.

not at all.

It's just a simple house built using earth magic.

The sturdiness wasn't adjusted to be too high, since it will be dismantled eventually.

If it is too hard to handle.

That would be too awkward.

Thanks to me, the refugees at least have a proper house to live in.

Philip seemed quite grateful to me for this.

That being said.

This is merely a drop in the ocean compared to the extent of the damage suffered by the entire Fituia territory.
