I Became the Fiancé of a Crazy Heroine

If we follow the original content, Barchen Laird must join the Royal Knights to fulfill his duty as a member of the Regiard family.

He gradually improves his skills as a member of the Royal Knights and eventually becomes a direct guard of the king, leading to a strategic marriage with the royal family.

“The recipient of the letter must verify it personally. The contents should not be disclosed. I will take my leave now.”

The messenger bowed and quickly disappeared.

Yenid seemed to be observing Sion for a moment before disappearing with her attendants.

Sion was left alone, staring at the letter.

“Fuu…”

Sion finally came to his senses and opened the envelope.

As the wax with the royal seal split, the inside was revealed.

The sky blue paper was neatly folded, with black ink writing on it.

It was a letter written by the 17th commander of the Royal Knights, Glenone Eilike.

‘To Sion Laird, one of Marquis Laird’s son.’

According to the royal decree, he wants to test me.

‘You are to visit the Royal Knight Commander’s office by the appointed date.

If you disobey, you will be punished for defying the royal decree.’

Sion checked the contents of the letter again and lowered his head.

The handwriting was quite elegant, and the Royal Knight Commander’s seal was stamped at the top of the letter.

Just by reading the sentence “I will test you,” it was easy to understand the intention.

‘I guess they want to see if I can use sword skills.’

If the king’s name is used, it means the king personally intervened.

Originally, the commander of the royal knights would go first, and then the king would decide whether to accept, but this time the order was reversed.

If the king pushed for it, he would be forced to join the royal knights against his will.

‘I don’t want to ruin my life.’

While becoming a member of the royal knights may be beneficial to the nobles, it was a waste of time for himself.

He would have to face the royal family and high-ranking officials every day.

According to the laws of the palace, he had to learn unique ceremonies and were required to act according to regulations.

Above all, if he couldn’t move freely, it would only result in losses if he looked for various possibilities.

‘How do I refuse this?’

Sion received the letter while pondering.

Under any reasons, he could not break the king’s will.

Perhaps he could use something special as an excuse, like a goal that must be achieved.

‘Um… should I try that?’

Surprisingly, Sion found the answer in a nearby place.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was realistic and inevitable.

‘I have to use my engagement as an excuse,’ Sion thought.

Putting the letter in his pocket, he immediately headed to the next room.

If he wanted to use Hanette, he had to prepare properly.

‘If this is the case, I will accept the debt. It’s a fair deal.’ she thought.

The Duke Adelaira residence, the family head’s room.

Robbins was listening to Yenid as she talked about what had happened earlier today.

It was not common to see a royal messenger carrying a letter coming to visit.

It must have been someone from the royal family or a high-ranking official showing interest in Sion.

“I cannot ask about the letter.”

The letter brought by the royal messenger could not be seen by anyone other than the intended recipient.

Although one could know that it was sent from the palace, the identity of the sender and the contents of the letter were strictly kept secret.

Of course, the person concerned could secretly inform a close person, but as soon as the contents of the letter became widely known, the palace would ask for responsibility for maintaining the secrecy.

“… but wouldn’t he tell Hanette?”

Yenid guessed cautiously, putting down her teacup.

Hanette was the person closest to Sion in this mansion.

Considering that they had become much closer than when they first met, he would surely want to tell her about the contents of the letter.

“I don’t know. How could I know what’s written in it?”

“What could he hide in front of the person he loves?”

“Well… it’s not a wrong assumption, but maybe the premise is wrong. I don’t think they’ve become that close yet.”

Robbins stopped himself from touching his chin.

There was no reason for the palace to send a letter to Sion.

It would be more natural to try to make contact with Marquis Laird’s eldest or second son.

Perhaps they had noticed Sion because of something that had happened recently.

“I think it might be the Royal Knight Commander who sent the letter.”

“Why would the Royal Knight Commander send a letter?”

“They might want him to join the Royal Knights soon.”

“Ah.”

Yenid finally remembered that Sion had used the sword skills.

She knew that the anyone able to use sword skills was excellent, but it didn’t really mean anything to her as she had only heard about it.

However, if he possessed such remarkable skills, it was only natural that the Royal Knight Commander would take an interest in him.

“Then you might be pleased.”

“Well, it’s not necessarily the case.”

“Yes? You mean it’s not true?”

“What will happen if Sion’s value goes up and how will Marquis Laird react?”

At some point, Yenid’s complexion darkened.

She was briefly pleased to hear that a member of the royal knights would become her son-in-law, but there was a trap lurking underneath.

As Sion proves his own worth, the strategic marriage being pursued by both families is at risk.

The Marquis Laird would not want to give his son, who has exceptional talent, to a infamous ‘Crazy Young Lady’.

“It won’t matter after the wedding. But for now, they’ve only had the engagement ceremony. He could endure that much of a loss.”

“Are you saying he might side with Tyrone?”

“…It’s not good from him to side with Tyrone at this point now. But I have to be careful, so that the engagement won’t be cancelled.”

This strategic marriage was a matter planned for the distant future.

It was a choice for both families to benefit, and if one suffered a loss, the other would not come out unscathed.

Of course, if they were in an extreme situation, the Marquis Laird could also make a decision.
