Dylan gave a small box as a gift. Once opened Pavline was surprised and impressed upon seeing the contents.
Dylan presented the Hope Diamond diamond necklace he had bought while in the capital Algrand.
Dylan who saw his impressed mother resumed his words.
"Well, maybe it's nothing with all the love you gave me.... But, at least the necklace could be a symbol that I love mom very much".
"Dylan".
Pavline immediately hugged Dylan which made him blush in embarrassment.
But, something surprising happened.
For some reason, Pavline suddenly very quickly slammed Dylan onto the floor and unceremoniously gave him a hand lock.
The awakened Dylan immediately felt an immense pain.
"AW, AW, AW, AW........ MOM WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!".
A surprised Dylan immediately asked Pavline why he was doing this. And with an exasperated expression on his face Pavline revealed his reason and further strengthened his lockdown.
"Oh Dy-chan!!!... Do you think by giving me a gift of an expensive necklace on my birthday it will ease my emotions for you. My own Son, huh?!!!!..... I will never forgive your whining and habit that always contains mom and everyone around you worried.... So, just think of this as a form of affection and thanks from your beloved mother?!!!!.... Even up to this moment I kept wondering inside my little heart.... Why can I give birth to a wayward and whimsical child like you? Though I'm sure, never crave strange things while pregnant with you!!!!!".
'AW, AW, AW. IT'S GETTING SICK.... DAD, FIRA HELP ME.... AND YOU GUYS DON'T JUST SHUT UP? HURRY HELP ME?".
Dylan was getting in more pain as Pavline further strengthened his lockdown. So he asked his father, Philaret, and the servants to help him.
But, the answer Dylan received was truly shocking.
"Pavline dear, broken hands are a delinquent child".
"Mother, give Nii-san even more pain. I'm not satisfied to see it".
"So, lady did that".
"Don't forgive me, Mr. Dylan".
"Make him aware of his delinquent attitude".
"Master deserves that".
"Thank you for representing all of our aggravation"
"Don't let go of her, Miss".
"TRAITOR TO YOU ALLAAAAAA!!!!!".
It turned out that Hyoga, Filaret and everyone who worked at the Arcadia Mansion felt the same irritation as Pavline due to Dylan's mischievous behavior.
So, they did not want to help Dylan who was currently in trouble and instead supported Pavline's actions that beat his son.
The wrestling scene became the entertainment of the guests who came and they could not stop laughing at the behavior of Dylan and Pavline.
(---------------)
"Traitors...... You're all traitors....".
Dylan continued to grumble as he continued to endure the pain on his arm that had gotten a strong lock from Pavline while crouching in the corner of the hall.
"Already, already, just think of it as "karma" for what you've been doing all this time".
"Buset, what kind of entertaining way is it, njir".
The accompanying Hyoga attempted to comfort Dylan even though the son was not amused at all.
After a while, Dylan who had been crouching immediately stood up and started talking to his father while looking straight at the guests present
"Dad, there's something I want to ask you".
"On my meeting with His Majesty, right?".
Hyoga who understood his son's intentions immediately interrupted his words. Dylan nodded his head.
"Nothing is too important..... It's just that, Your Majesty would like to confirm for himself about the report from Rufus".
"Hou....".
"Of course you're telling the truth...... But neither my father nor Rufus said that you were the one who killed Oscar".
"Hmmm..... Did Your Majesty offer you anything?".
Hyoga was silent for a moment before returning to speak.
"He offered to "declare war" on condition that I should agree".
"But, of course, I refused..... Anyway, I know Oscar's actions were not on the basis of His Holiness William's.... Except for The Oracle's.... So, I personally don't blame it".
"Good then..... I can't imagine a war breaking out..... But, was not the King's offer just an allegory that he actually wanted to fight with the Kingdom of Rachael.... Under the pretext of "the invasion of the Kingdom of Rachael into the territory of Arcadia", Father?".
Hyoga then shook his head as a sign of his disobedience.
"Your Majesty Conrad is not that kind of person, I know exactly who he is".
"really?"
"Well, he was actually the youngest King in the history of the Ingrid Kingdom.... All that happened, because of the previous King...... Or you could say His Majesty's father died from the age factor.... At that time Work was in a war with the Kingdom of High Montana..... Even though we won the victory.... His empty throne caused a lot of panic.... Therefore, His Majesty who was 17 years old at that time immediately ascended the throne..... That's because, the King has no heir other than him".
"Hmmmmm.....".
"But, because of his young age and lack of knowledge of politics, everything became chaotic".
Hyoga then gave a warm look and spoke back.
"Although that is the case, His Majesty is unwilling to give up..... With a short time, he was able to turn things around and re-stabilize the chaotic condition of the Kingdom..... And when he was praised for his hard work he said "This whole thing is all my hard work. Without them I wouldn't be able to do anything, even though I'm a King". That's how he said".
"Heeeeee..... But, why are there still many nobles who seem dissatisfied with him?".
"Well, it's also called politics.... Sometimes when we make a good policy it is also a bad policy for others".
After sipping his tea Hyoga glanced at Dylan and spoke again.
"Even he did not bother about the actions of someone who doused his daughter with a cup of tea in front of everyone".
"Ugh".
Dylan immediately gasped as soon as he heard the words of Hyoga who knew that he was the culprit.
"Well, whatever..... Anyway that's what we discussed".
"I understand".
Although Dylan said understand, but actually there are some things that bother him.
(From my father's warm countenance when he told me about His Holiness Conrad..... It means everything Dad said is true..... But, who was the "Change" that Dad meant at that time?..... If not the King? Then who?..... If I ask, I won't answer.... Then I have to find out for myself who this "Change" is).
Then Dylan's gaze was turned to his mother and Filaret who were laughing while enjoying the party.
"Well we think it's next time".
Dylan then stepped away leaving Hyoga alone.
"Oh, yeah Dylan I almost forgot...... In the spring of tomorrow aka summer here, you and Filaret will attend the Estonian Academy in the Capital".
Instantly, Dylan was shaken and stopped his footsteps. With his body trembling then slowly turned towards Hyoga.
"A-a-what?".
(Sek bentar..... A school? That is, I entered the Estonian Academy?..... Why, dad dropped a bomb when my mood was calm).
"Actually, there are some complicated problems. I want to take care of it myself. But, this one you can't refuse.... We're talking about that----".
GEDEBUG.
There was something like a falling object that shocked everyone. And as they figure out where the sound came from.
They were all startled and astonished, as the source of the voice came from Dylan who somehow suddenly sprawled on the floor.
"DYLAN!!!".
"DY-CHAN!!!".
"NII-SAN!!!".
(I was expecting this to happen soon..... But to be honest, "school" is not the word "curse" huh?..... It was even a word I hated in my previous life..... The place continues to be the center of almost the entire "Long Life Brave" story"... Which means, I'll meet the hero and his harem...... This isn't a funny joke, you know?)
Everyone gathered around Dylan. They were also astonished because when Dylan's expression was dark and his body didn't move at all. But, strangely his mouth moved while saying something.
"Ooooh. Geez, why am I so lazy, huh?..........Let alone motion, breath is like a lot of trouble".
"""THE BUSH!!!!! HIS LAZINESS LEVEL WAS DEVASTATING AND TENAN, TO THE BREATH FOR HIMSELF AJA MALES!!!!"""".
Everything was confused, panicked and astonished by Dylan's strange actions that shocked everyone.
But, Dylan's actions right now are as a form of reasonableness. Because he knows what happens if he meets his Hero and Harem.
However, he could not tell a story for fear of being considered a lunatic.
