The Noble Lady Without Magic Aims to Become an Adventurer! - Chapter 83
The Day Before Fars Moves Into the Royal Palace Dormitory.
That evening, I was summoned to the marquis’s office.
When I entered the room, the marquis was seated on the sofa, and Otto was pouring him a glass of brandy.
“Fars, for you to join the Royal Knights before graduating from the academy is a great honor for the marquisate. Feel free to continue using our family name as your backing,” the marquis said.
“Thank you, Marquis,” I replied.
“By the way, Fars, do you intend to marry Marloa?”
The marquis’s sudden question left me frozen in place.
“W-What do you mean by that?”
“I’ve heard from Otto and Maris. You’re fond of Marloa, aren’t you? Violeta is a former count’s daughter, and her father was also a noble.
There’s no issue with the bloodline.”
“You’re aware of my father?”
“Yes, I know of him. Didn’t Violeta tell you?”
“All I know from my mother is that he cruelly abandoned her…”
From the way Senior Yele spoke, I had suspected that my father was a noble. He must be working in the royal palace.
If he’s a knight, I’ll inevitably meet him. While I don’t want to bring up painful memories for my mother, I feel I need to hear the full story from her.
“I see. Then I won’t speak about your father. However, if you become a knight, the issue of your father will eventually arise. If you wish to marry Marloa, you’ll need to address that matter properly.”
“I wish to take Marloa as my wife. To do so, I must confront my father. However, even if I resolve the issue with him, I don’t have a title to offer Marloa.”
“I’ve heard that Prince Sherman, Viscount Yele Luhtark’s son, and Marquis Arnold Gaus’s son are working on your behalf.”
The marquis seemed aware of the actions of the prince and the others.
“Viscount Yele Luhtark’s son and Marquis Arnold Gaus’s son have said they’d recommend me for the position of knight commander if I assist with their research.”
From the start, both of them had figured out that I was in love with Marloa. If I become the knight commander, I’ll be awarded a title as part of the combat tournament agreement.
That would allow me to take Marloa as my wife.
Prince Sherman, too, has expressed his desire to have me as one of his aides multiple times. When I explained the conditions for marrying Marloa, he understood and pledged his support. It’s incredibly reassuring.
“I vow to resolve the issue with my father, become the knight commander, and ensure Marloa has no worries,” I said with determination.
“Don’t overexert yourself. If anything arises, you can rely on me,” the marquis replied.
“Thank you, Marquis,” I said, bowing deeply before leaving the room.
Tomorrow, I’ll officially join the knights ahead of schedule. I need to steel myself even more for what lies ahead.
