The Marquis’ Eldest Son’s Lascivious Story

Vol. 2 Chapter 177

Reisleaf

Translated by Raizu

Ugly women is a specialty of the Reisleaf region.

I found a truly amazing proof of this truth, but this note is too narrow to write it.

I was so frustrated that my hands went crazy that I ended up crushing the tip of my quill.

[Young Master, excuse me…]

[What is it?]

The civil officer who saw the sentence of truth written in large letters in the middle of the wooden board stood up straight and stammered.

They must be well aware that the area around Reisleaf Castle is a barren area with a lack of beautiful women.

[How about changing the name of this area to Faage from now on? From today onwards, this is Faage Castle. It’s easy to understand, isn’t it?]

Hahaha, I smiled lightly. But, that was enough to make the civilian and military officers collapse on the spot and took a posture similar to prostrate.

I meant it as a little sarcasm, but they must have interpreted it as me spilling my inner frustration. Their faces were all pale as a result.

By the way, in the Eruo language, “Faage” is a word used to refer to a woman with a foul appearance. The Japanese translation is, well, ugly women.

[I’m just kidding. Don’t take it to heart.]

There’s only one reason for my irritation. Recently, I haven’t held a woman’s body.

At the front line of the war against the Spierzeig family, there is no trace of femininity in Reisleaf Castle. Only male military officers and civilians.

Naturally, nothing came out, and cloudy fluid was accumulating as it eroded the cerebrospinal fluid.

[However, we are unable to satisfy the Young Master…]

In order to stabilize the surrounding area, the military officers occasionally dispatched soldiers to visit nearby villages and towns. Their job is to inform the surrounding chief about their new Ruler.

At the same time, a search for a beautiful woman was also conducted. But, the result was zero for now. The women who were taken away were all those who didn’t quite suit my tastes.

The feeling of frustration continued, to the point I wanted to go to the village and look around myself. But, I couldn’t even do that considering the possibility of an invasion.

A beautiful woman might be delivered tomorrow, so it would be a waste to compromise and ejaculate now…While I was thinking that, more than a month had passed since the capture of Reisleaf Castle. In 10 more days, it will be March.

[I don’t mind. Will they arrive tonight?]

I spoke to them in a gentle tone and gave them forgiveness.

I don’t want to power harass men, I just want to sexually harass women.

[Yessir. Tonight, most definitely.]

There were still security concerns around Reisleaf Castle, so we couldn’t bring Anna and the others from Nambonan City.

This is because it is extremely dangerous not only on the road but also to bring them to a place where you do not know when the battle with Spierzeig’s army will start.

The best thing to do was to summon a Lord-class female servant from Newnelly Castle.

A Lord-class female servant from a knight family not only has individual fighting ability, but she can also lead an army in an emergency. So it’s the best pick to bring to Reisleaf Castle.

But, that’s like saying [Papa! I want to ejaculate, so lend me a maid!]. Even if it’s me, I still feel embarrassed in having to say that.

[Good then.]

The civil officer must have guessed what was going on in my mind, and suggested that I bring Rose Silknoon, the enemy knight who was being held captive in Nambonan City.

It’s already known that I like Rose’s appearance. Even as a civil officer, he must have wanted to avoid angering me further by offering any more ugly women.

When I held Rose, I was pretty rough toward her, so I guess everyone thought I didn’t have much affection for her. The same goes for the military officers. If Rose tried to escape, or if the magic seal was broken and she acted violently, they believe that they have the authority to immediately execute her.

My selfishness will cause trouble for them, so I gave them permission for it.

Fortunately, Reisleaf Castle has a special prison for confining Lord-class soldiers, so it wouldn’t be too dangerous if they were thrown there. In the first place, with my strong magic seal, there’s no way they can do anything in a month or so.

Let’s just be careful not to let her escape when we’re having fun in bed. If I let my guard down, she might end up being cut in two by the military officers.

It might be a good idea to rape her from the back. I thought while looking out over the Voistra Plain from the Quordenze family’s Reisleaf Castle.

It must have been because I had a delusion of raping Rose in my head, since my cock became stiff in an instant.

In order to calm myself down, I decided to talk about the weather.

[When will the snow stop?]

It’s been snowing all the time in the Reisleaf region lately.

As long as the snow continued, the movement of the Spierzeig army would be halted, so the Quordenze army was grateful for that. Personally, I was also happy about it.

[Sir. I think it will continue for a few more days.]

I glance at the flag on the wall of the office.

A snake entwined with intersecting spears and water splashing from the left and right. It is the crest of the Quordenze family, the Quordenze insignia.

The flag, embroidered with colorful threads, is a historical item that has been handed down by successive generations of the Quordenze family heads. No matter how many times I’ve seen it, it’s a wonderful piece of work, and I wanted to display it in my collection room in Newnelly Castle as one of the works of art.

[….Young Master must’ve wanted to show it to the people of Spierzeig as soon as possible.]

[Hmm, oh, yeah, that’s right.]

This flag, which I received from my father via my grandfather, had never been hoisted outside due to the weather.

When I was working in the office, I could not help but look at it. So, I’m sure the military and civil officers thought that I wanted to raise the flag outside so badly.

But, they’re wrong.

If a stray arrow hit and left a hole in the flag if it’s hoisted in a dangerous castle on the front line like this…just thinking about it makes me sick. If possible, I would like to hold it up in Nambonan City, and if possible, when I make a triumphant return to Newnelly City.

A typical young noble would probably see it as something that satisfies their ego to be able to hoist their family flag in a place like this. I strongly feel the difference in values.

I don’t need to correct their misunderstandings, so I won’t correct them. Also, I don’t want to be thought of as someone who doesn’t like getting your flag dirty.

In any case, it was really good for me that the snow continued to fall because I could naturally find an excuse not to raise the flag.

Averting my eyes from the flag, I picked up the quill again to continue my work.

[Young Master.]

Then, a civil officer came to my desk and showed me a wooden strip rolled up like a seaweed roll.

When I silently nodded, he rolled it out on the desk. It was a wooden slip for regular communication from Newnelly Castle.

[There is a message from Master. The rebellion of the Galiana family is over.]

[Oh, that’s good to hear.]

[Here it is.]

The current situation of the Galiana family was written on the part of the slip where the tip of the civil official’s finger was pointing to.

A family member of the Galiana family took advantage of the Spierzeig family’s schemes to plot a rebellion, but apparently decided that there was no longer any chance of winning.

It seems that they failed to get the Adellahan family’s backing. The fall of Reisleaf Castle was seemingly more important, and they ended up being completely ignored.

And the other day, it seemed that a letter of apology finally arrived from the rebels addressed to the Quordenze family.

It is said that my father and Viscount Galiana are currently negotiating about the situation. I don’t know how it will settle down, but it’s safe to assume that the Galiana family will be completely under the Quordenze family. Others should see it that way too.

[It seems that mother’s place has also been managed somehow, is this the end of the story?]

The Evenafis family, my mother’s original house, was being attacked from the west and the south by multiple independent Noble families under the instigation of the Spierzeig family.

The southern Nobles attacked Hartinos City, the home base of the Evenafis family, to attract the main forces, while at the same time the western Nobles attacked and cut off the weaker defenses in the west. It seemed to be a strategy where the Noble family in the south would take the most losses, but well, it seems that some kind of secret agreement was made.

The western Nobles were able to advance their Lord-class Army with peace of mind because they were confident that the Evenafis’ main force would not appear to hinder them.

However, the Evenafis were able to resolve this issue surprisingly easily. I remember that the regular report that I received two weeks ago said the invasion had been repulsed.

[There are some things that still remain a mystery, but the most important thing is that we were able to prevent the invasion.]

[What happened? Is something wrong?]

I wondered about the word “things that still remain a mystery”, so I asked the civil officer.

[No, it is said that the invader army that invaded from the western side of Evenafis territory, their commander-in-chief has been defeated. But, there is still something that feels amiss…]

I knew that already because I had read the report.

The Lord-class army that invaded Evenafis territory was led by the grandfather of the previous Head of the invading Noble family. The strange thing here is that he died almost too suddenly.

The reason why he died was still unknown, but for the time being, it is certain that the enemy commander-in-chief had died.

I don’t think he would die of a sudden illness after attacking with joy, so he must have been assassinated by those from Evenafis’ side.

In addition, the main force of the Evenafis army, having no need to worry about its west anymore, can now concentrate on the battle in the south. It is said that they were able to push back the invasion from the south at an early stage because they were already winning even before this.

[Perhaps there was a member of shadow house who happened to be on the invasion route?]

However, both the civil official and the military officers who were listening to my story showed skeptical expressions on my words.

[It is believed that there are almost no shadow house members left idle in the Evenafis family.]

[There aren’t many important cities in the west, and it wouldn’t be too bad if they were temporarily taken by the enemy.]

[It is likely that they are concentrating all the shadow houses at key points on the south side. Right now, the most important thing is to strengthen the defense of Hartinos City.]

The Quordenze family and the Evenafis family have been allies for many years, tied by many marriages. Inevitably, to some extent, the scale of each other’s shadow house is something that can be seen by both sides.

The number of household members in the Evenafis family has drastically decreased since the disaster of the demonic beast Yersinia, and their shadow house is no exception.

The Spierzeig family’s strategy was the main reason why the Evenafis family was invaded this time, but the weakening of their shadow house must’ve also been taken into consideration. No matter how much the Spierzeig family will take care of you, it takes courage to advance through enemy territory where you don’t know where the shadows are lurking.

[Well, I’m sure every house has a secret or two. It’s not like the Highlords are lying around, it’s possible that more shadows survived than initially believed. Besides, there’s a geographical advantage, so shouldn’t it be easier to launch a surprise attack?]

A surprise attack is the best way to easily kill a Noble.

It can be said that the best thing to do is to hit the target with super-powered attack magic from an unexpected place, outside of their awareness. Even a Highlord with a strong body can’t stand a moment if a Lord-class magic hits them while defenseless. It is much safer to defeat them that way than in face-to-face combat.

The enemy had invaded Evenafis territory, so of course, the Evenafis had the advantage of the land. It would not be impossible to pierce through from a blindspot.

……And just as I thought about it, something flashed through my mind. Think the other way around.

[Well, it’s just that the people of Quordenze may not know about it, but there might actually be some kind of important base in the western part of the Evenapis territory. If that’s the case, why don’t you think it’s appropriate that the shadows are placed there?]

[…..I see.]

[However, I heard that the enemy army withdrew…from here, Around this area.]

Unfolding a close-up map of the center of the continent, a military officer approached.

His index finger was pointing towards the western part of Evenapis territory, where there were no big cities or towns.

[If there is a valuable product enough to place a shadow house, people will naturally gather. If there are only rural areas, there must be nothing much.]

[No matter how much you hide it, there will be people coming and going, so there should be some kind of change. Probably nothing.]

At the moment when I was about to say that it would be useless to make a judgment based on the information I had so far, a civil officer asked for my opinion.

[I gathered information about this area from Nambonan merchants, but it was the same result. Even now, there are only farming villages around here.]

Like me, he thought that there might be something in this area, so he ordered Ramon at City Hall to collect information. He is very quick witted for a civil officer.

In other words, at present, there is no choice but to think that it was just a lucky break.

[I see… I learned something that I didn’t know. Maybe it was just really luck after all.]

Even if you spend a lot of time thinking about it, you won’t necessarily come up with an answer. The Evenafis family repulsed the invaders. Rather than making a strange assumption, I decided to end it with that.

My mother in Newnelly Castle might know the truth, but if this falls under the Evenafis family’s most important secret, it’s unrealistic to hear about it. Because my mother isn’t the kind of thoughtless woman who’d babble on family secrets.

[Certainly, it is quite possible that it happened to be just a lucky stroke.]

Seemingly understanding my intentions, they agreed with me.

[In any case, the Evenafis family will be relieved for a while, because they were able to show the pressure of their shadows.]

[Earl Evenafis is already quite old. Mistress must be relieved.]

It’s a big shock to invade and be killed by a member of the shadow house. Because that is the proof that their intelligence was wrong.

If that happens, the existing invasion plan will be completely blank, and it will be necessary to review the defense plan of the territory from scratch. There is a high possibility that the military and bases are being arranged based on incorrect information, so there is no way they can be left alone.

The Head of the western Noble family that invaded Evenafis territory must be pale by now.

Intelligence errors, the Spierzeig family’s operation failure, and the death of their predecessor on the battlefield combined with serious failures, and the relationship with the Evenafis family deteriorated beyond repair. I don’t think there will be a retaliatory war any time soon, but the future is by no means bright for them.

[For the time being, it seems good to think that the anti-Spierzeig front is heading in a generally favorable direction.]

[Yessir. The successful taking of Reisleaf is really a game changer.]

Because I’m in control of Reisleaf Castle, the surrounding Nobles seem to think that the Quordenze family has an overwhelming advantage.

Humans won’t take sides unless they are stubborn idiots who can’t read the situation, or have strong beliefs. For example, even the Nobles who are part of the Quordenze family have no choice but to watch in silence.

[Reisleaf is really a big deal after all.]

It was a strategy that was disguised as a fire thief, but I did a good job on my own. It’s impossible even if you tell me to do it again.

[I’m sure many people are paying attention to Young Master who has accomplished great deeds. It’s really something to be proud of.]

[But thanks to that, look at all these letters delivered here. My arms are tired.]

I turned my gaze to the pile of letters on my desk.

However, most of the letters were copies written on wooden slips by civil officers. The original is at Newnelly Castle.

The fact that I was unofficially appointed as the next Head of the family has already been announced. From the perspective of other families, the eldest son, Wilk Quordenze, would appear as an ambiguous existence in terms of public and private lines.

At present, I have to stay at Reisleaf Castle, so I can’t be formally nominated as a successor at Newnelly Castle yet… It’s a half-hearted position that can only be excused due to the current circumstance.

[Look at this, not only the Nobles of the Kingdom, even the Levios’ Royal family, the Marquis of Zeldomitra, the Marquis of Adellahan, and the Grand Duke of Milendorva are all in line. I have a hard time even thinking of an answer.]

It seems that the Nobles decided that if they couldn’t meet the heir personally then the letter would have to do. It is said that letters and gifts have arrived at Newnelly Castle almost every day.

Up until now, I had exchanged letters with the Nobles of the Quordenze faction, but they were all through my father. This would be the first time for me to formally interact as a single Noble.

[…We can’t do anything about that.]

It is said that the first job of the Noble son who was nominated as the next Head of the family was to reply to the letters that arrived.

Originally, the message would have been nothing more than [Congratulations to the next Head of the family. Nice to be acquainted with you]. Now, thinking about even one sentence is troublesome.

[Oh, really…it was really good to have guidance from my father.]

From my father, I would usually receive detailed instructions, like [Please write something like this. Be sure to specify this, and don’t write this]. But, not this time.

A letter is something that takes a lot of time and effort if you try to write it seriously.

Eruo is a language that shows individuality in the use of brush strokes and decorative characters, so it is necessary to think carefully about how to draw the sentences. Writing only the requirements and ending it is considered as below the third-rate.

Of course, it is necessary to have a professional civil officer guide the writing expression so that the writing ability can be seen. Proofreading is also indispensable.

And the most difficult thing is the clean copy. You have to be serious about the parchment and run the brush without making mistakes. Even if you have successfully completed the writing, you will not be allowed to seal it unless it passes the “character beauty check” by a civil officer.

For the time being, there is magic that erases the color of the ink, but if you make a mistake many times, wrinkles will become noticeable on the parchment. It is absolutely unacceptable to leave it as it is because it is uncool. Undo can only be used two or three times at most.

If it weren’t for my Highlord’s body, my arm would have suffered from tendonitis long ago.

[I want to end the Kingdom group part by the end of day.]

Letters were sent not only from the Royal Nobles, but also from the Imperial Nobles.

Considering the future invasion on the Spierzeig territory, it is important to hold hands behind the scenes with the Imperial Nobles who have antipathy to the Spierzeig family, and we cannot ignore it. Of course, cooperation with the Royal Nobles is a major premise, so this cannot be taken lightly either.

I was thinking about the text and turning away from the clean copy work, but I can’t just run away forever. If I don’t proceed with the process, the stack of letters on my desk will only grow thicker.

[Well, to whom should I write next…]

I lost myself in thought while gazing at the stack of letters. I understand well that I was trying to escape from clean copy work.

If you read the letters from other families according to the standards of the Quordenze family, there are quite a few that are of a low level.

Then, you should adjust to a lower level! You might think that, but if I do that, I’ll get scolded by my father. Moreover, serious lightning strikes.

The Quordenze family has a history of about 300 years, which is quite long for a Noble family, and a family with a certain history is expected to have a certain degree of prestige.

If I don’t write a solid letter, the Nobles who receive it will think, [Ah, even though he’s the eldest son, he hasn’t learned anything. I should’ve guessed].

On the other hand, if you send a solid letter here, it will be recognized that [the next Head of the family seems to be well educated]. In addition, emerging Nobles and small to medium-sized Nobles who have a low level of letter writing would feel, [It’s amazing that even a young son of the traditional Noble can write such a letter].

Since the demerit of being underestimated is far greater than the merit of pretending to be an idiot to make them let their guard down, there is no room for thinking about cutting corners.

[Is it the Levios’ Royal family?]

Among the many letters, only Levios’ Royal family managed to get their original letter to me.

The Levios must have predicted in advance that I would only receive a copy written by civil officers because I would be stuck at Reisleaf Castle, so they wrote two copies of the same letter and sent them to us. As a result, one letter was left in Newnelly Castle, but the other letter reached me.

The level of the letter is very high, as you can only send a handwritten letter that takes a lot of time and effort. As expected, it’s enough to groan that it’s the Levios family.

Just because you can feel the dignity from the sentences, I feel deeply that personal letters are important in nobility diplomacy.

[Or maybe the Zeldomitra…]

Since the letter was a copy written by a civil officer, it is impossible to know how the brush was used.

However, it is possible to infer a certain level from the use of ornamental letters and paragraphs of sentences.

The Zeldomitra family is also a Noble family with a long history, so it’s quite an elaborate letter.

Perhaps they also expected me to receive a copy instead of the original, so it was characterized by the use of decorative letters that seemed a little excessive. It seems that they put a lot of effort into decorative characters because they know I wouldn’t be able to tell how they use the brush.

In that case, I think it would be good to write two letters like the Levios family, but it seems that he is directing a sense of intimacy by showing his trust in the other party, saying, [I think you will understand my consideration] or something like that.

[It might be easier to write to the Marquis of Adellahan or the Archduke of Milendorva…]

The Adellahan and Milendorva family sent fairly ordinary letters.

Perhaps because both of them are emerging Nobles, the format gives the impression of something within the standard of [letter from a Great Noble].

In the end, the know-how of such letters involves not only the Nobles, but also the power of the knights who are in charge of education, so it is important to accumulate history.

If the Levios family’s letter were given a perfect score of 100 points, the Adellahan and Milendorva families would score 80 points, and the Zeldomitra family’s score would be 75 at first glance, but it would be 95 points depending on the scorer’s judgment.

[Young Master.]

[What’s wrong? I’m about to start the clean copy.]

I wonder if Spierzeig’s army has come. If so, we’ll have to cancel the clean copy work and go to the front.

As I tried to get up from my chair, the civil officer stopped me by showing me what he was holding.

[There are two letters for you.]

He held the letters as if he was supporting a frail old lady.

It remained in the parchment envelope and the wax seal was intact. There are two unopened letters.

[Let me see them.]

The pattern drawn on the sealing wax is a sickle that harvests wheat with ears hanging down to the point that it almost touches the ground. And a single-edged sword leaning diagonally.

It was the crest of the Spierzeig family.
