A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

Volume 8 Chapter 24: Engagement Talks Part 1 

 

While Keith had his own study group, Carolyn had one of her own. Well, it was more one on one. Alger sighed, "Carolyn, this isn't how you do it." 

 

"I see." Carolyn quickly changed the formula. Right now, the two were studying in the library. However, Alger only sighed more, "Carolyn, that's not the right one either."  

 

"I still don't get it," Even when Alger explained everything to her, it didn't make sense. Alger was relatively fast, as he explained. 

 

"Carolyn, you will need to learn all of this. You're going to be a queen as well." They would be king and queen of the Philosopher Kingdom. 

 

"..." 

 

"Then let's keep trying." Alger started to talk again. As they continued to do this, "Well if it wasn't my sister." The two turned around, and Carolyn frowned while Alger tilted his head. 

 

"...Hello, Doyle."

 

"Hello," 

 

"Aww, to think the two of you have become so close." Doyle grinned as he sat across from the two, "And you guys are even flirting in front of everyone."

 

"What are you talking about?"

 

"You know you two are the only couple here, right?" Doyle glanced around. The only people that were there were study groups. The only couple here were Carolyn and Alger. 

 

"That's because Senior Alger said it would be nice to study here instead of staying in the same place." A change of environment would help everyone out. 

 

"Doyle, shouldn't you also be studying as well?" Doyle was in the same grade as Carolyn. Doyle scoffed, "Brother Alger, you don't need to worry about anything. I can study at the end."

 

"...I see." Alger nodded. Doyle got up, "Then I'm not going to bother you guys any longer." 

 

"Let's continue," Alger stated, "You need to be at the top." 

 

"Mmhmm." 

...

While everyone was focused on midterms, many things were outside the academy. A large carriage had arrived before the castle in the royal capital of The Solis Kingdom. There was a giant emblem on the front door. 

 

One person came out of the carriage. A butler bowed, 

 

"Greetings to the king. Welcome to the Solis Kingdom." This person here was the King of the Philopher Kingdom, Harold Zio Delarosei. He was none other than Alger's father. 

 

"Mmhmm." Harold gave a kurt greeting. The butler said nothing else as he led the king to a room. Opening the door, Julius was in the room. 

 

"It's been a while, Senior Harold." 

 

"You don't need to call me Senior. We're not in the academy." Alger and Harold were junior and senior when they attended the academy. 

 

"Right now, the two of us are rulers of our kingdom." 

 

"Indeed."

 

Harold sat down across from him. It was calm, yet the two rulers knew there was no calmness in the room. Things were going to go down right now.

 

"Have you heard about my son and your daughter having relations with one another?" Harold went straight to the point. But when he did, Julius nodded, "Yes, I heard about our children dating." He had received letters about the two dating. 

 

"Then I will make this quick; I was thinking of engaging the two of them." With how the two dated, naturally, getting engaged came next. 

 

But his words caused Julius to frown, "Isn't this too soon? The two of them have only been dating for a while. They shouldn't get married so quickly." 

 

"But we have to. From what I heard, our children are quite the pair at the academy." Harold sipped on some tea.

 

"How do you know this?"

 

"Of course, I have my informants." 

 

Julius scoffed, "You understand what you're trying to do, right? Understand that the dragon would not stand for it." 

 

"Please," Harold shook his head, "The headmaster will not do anything unless it harms the academy." Cadmus was lax with these types of things. He would only step in if there was severe harm to the academy. He had always been a lofty creature. 

 

"...True." Cadmus had always been really flexible with these kinds of things. It may be different now since that brat is there. There was an outlier.

 

"And this also brings a second objective. Don't you think we should make a move?" Harold stated. 

 

"...Have you gone insane." Julius frowned. Did he understand what he was implying? 

 

"Of course. After all, we all know that Cadmus isn't someone that you could leave alone." It wasn't only them. Every nation knew this; the dragon was someone they had to watch out for. He may seem like a normal person right now, but he could explode at any given moment. 

 

"If we work together, we can defeat the dragon." The strongest human kingdom and the 2nd strongest working together. Even Cadmus wouldn't be able to defeat them.

 

"I'm not interested in doing something like that." Julius shook his head. Yes, Cadmus was a threat. There was no doubt about that, but he was also a dragon of reason. Pretty stupid but was calm. 

 

"Fine," Harold sighed as he added, "However, I do want my son and your daughter to be engaged. Can we make that happen?" He couldn't forget about that. 

 

"...It will depend on Carolyn. Not me." Julius had long decided that Carolyn would be the one to decide the engagement.
