Chapter 179: Günther Graceful Daily Life ②
Translated by AmaLynne
“No, um, well, Father, Mother――I have a husband named Sam.”
Günther places his hand on his forehead and tries to explain, but his father’s eyes widen, and he shouts:
“Sleep talk is meant for when you’re asleeeeeeeep!”
He forcefully slams his hand on the table, spitting as he angrily berates his son.
“Do you think I’m unaware of how much trouble you’ve caused Samuel-sama? Regardless of being of the same gender, if you were truly in love, I wouldn’t say a word! But you, you’re unilaterally clinging to an underage boy! And you’re causing trouble for the Count Walker house too! Have some shame!”
“Günther, as a mother, I’d like to support my son’s feelings of love, but Samuel-sama has conceived a child with Lise. And he has other fiancées like Stella and Hualian, Mizuki as well. You shouldn’t interfere too much.”
Even his mother chastises him while wearing a troubled expression, so Günther makes it clear in frustration:
“I’m a respectable fiancé as well.”
“There’s no way that’s truuuuueeeeee!”
“Father, if you keep shouting like this all morning, your blood pressure will go up.”
“It’s your fault! Fine, fine, I’ll tolerate you pursuing Samuel-sama to some extent. But think about the heir! You’ve even driven out your elder brother and become the successor! Don’t you have that responsibility?”
“If I let that incompetent take over, who knows what will become of the ducal house. And besides, if I were the heir, you needn’t worry, I’ll produce an impressive successor.”
“There’s no way you can give birth, daaamn it!”
“Father, you’re still quite spirited. With Sam, I’m sure he’ll make me pregnant.”
Günther sighs and shrugs his shoulders, causing Logan to slump weakly into his chair.
“… I suppose I must kneel and apologize to Samuel-sama soon. That aside! Your arranged marriage is decided! She’s twelve years old, a bit young, but a kind and diligent girl. Got it?”
“I decline.”
“If you refuse, then I’ll burn the Ulrike collection you have.”
“Hah, I doubt my barriers would be broken by you, Father.”
“Call for Samuel-sama.”
“That’s, that’s not fair!”
Indeed, even Günther knows that his barriers won’t work on Sam.
However, he knows that if Sam were to be called to the ducal house to burn Ul’s stolen belongings, he’d wear an expression that couldn’t be easily defined.
No, he might even happily cooperate to rescue Ul’s belongings from Günther’s grasp.
“Right, I’ll tell you something good. The girl you’ll meet has an unusual skill.”
“Even if she has a skill, I won’t change my mind.”
“Just listen. She has a skill called【Transparency】. Understand? With that skill, she can freely pass through your barriers!”
“N, nonsense, I’ve never heard of such a skill!”
“That’s why I said it’s rare!”
“Well well, Günther, aren’t you a perfect match? Meet her at least once. Don’t dismiss someone who admires your uniqueness.”
“But, Mother…”
“If you refuse, I’ll ban you from entering the Count Walker house.”
“That’s not fair!”
It seems that even Günther can’t stand up strongly to his mother; he’s being pushed.
.
Seeing Günther’s situation, his father adds:
“I usually let you have your freedom! Give up and attend the arranged marriage! No, get married! Have children and put us at ease!”
“If I were to have children with anyone other than Sam… How could I be impregnated by some unknown little girl?”
“It’s the other way arouuund, you great foooooool!”
And so, against Günther’s wishes, his parents have decided that he will be attending an arranged marriage.
Günther, who is determined to absolutely refuse, and Logan, who is resolved to get Günther married no matter what, glare at each other.
It was the usual daily life of the Ignatz family.
