Volume 14 Chapter 75 Extra： The Man’s Battle
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”We somehow managed to hold the second Margrave South District military matchmaking party, thanks to the help of leaders from various countries.”
In the courtyard of Abyss Vena’s royal palace, women from across the Demon Continent gathered, all targeting single men in the military. They were breathing heavily, eager to begin.
This time, besides the True Demon Kingdom, noble daughters from the True Demon Dukedom (ruled by Flamil), the Black Dragon Dukedom (ruled by Delprius), and the Garuda Principality (ruled by Elkisa) also took part.
Many noble families in these countries had fallen into decline after the great chaos. The single daughters of these families joined the matchmaking party to revive their houses.
”The women are all quite eager. They seem determined to revive their houses in the Margrave South District, where His Majesty Shifa has granted them free rein to take land.”
”Other countries can’t afford to support their fallen noble families. Since we’re still developing, we need as many people as we can get, so this is a great opportunity for us.”
”We rounded up all the single men in the military for this party. Even so, there are more women, so Your Majesty Kent, please take some home. Lady Miriallia has allowed up to double digits.”
Garvey, who was attending the event, whispered this beside me. But as the head of the military, if I lead by example and take participants home, it’s likely to become gossip.
Originally, this party was meant to help single officers start families, not for me to find a mistress.
”No, if the single guys each take at least two, there shouldn’t be a problem. Garvey, how about a third? I’ve given you enough salary and land for that.”
”Well, the truth is, my wives told me to find a third… The territory given by Your Majesty is too large, and to manage it properly, we need a lot of children.”
In fact, high-ranking officials like Garvey and Kondrad have been given territories as large as those of the great nobles in the True Demon Kingdom.
Though remote, the land is fertile, and with people, it can bring in considerable tax revenue.
”Speaking of which, Kondrad is nowhere to be seen──”
”Lord Kondrad was about to decline, saying he’s too old, so I asked his daughter, Lady Ane, to capture him. He’s tied up over there. Desertion before the enemy is a court-martial offense.”
Where Garvey pointed, Kondrad lay on the ground, tightly bound with ropes. A paper indicating his position in the army hung from his neck, and he looked regretful.
Around him, young ladies, their nostrils flaring and eyes gleaming, eagerly awaited the signal to start.
It felt as if Kondrad was a prisoner about to be tortured.
But Kondrad isn’t old enough to retire yet.
I want him to take a young wife and work a little harder.
Kondrad noticed my gaze and sent me a pleading look, but I silently shook my head.
Kondrad… I’m sorry, but I’ll do my best too, so you need to brace yourself.
”Well, it seems like a riot might break out if we don’t start soon. If both sides agree, immediate marriage registration is possible. Chancellor Lila has sent a registrar, and preparations are perfect.”
”Yes, reviving a household depends on the husband, but army officers earn a good salary, and they can receive land based on performance. I hope the wives encourage their husbands.”
The officers who participated in the first matchmaking party mostly got married and started families. They served diligently in the military, spurred on by their wives, and achieved great success.
Some were granted territories and promoted to key positions in the army.
Hoping for a second success, they organized this event.
”Well then, shall we declare the start of the matchmaking party soon?”
Miriallia and the women’s division were busy helping participants with makeup, dressing, and backstage work, so only Garvey and I were on stage.
Once Garvey finished preparations, I stood at the podium.
”Ladies and gentlemen, I declare the opening of the second Margrave South District military matchmaking party. Hunt your prey with honor. Good luck.”
As I spoke, the eager young ladies erupted with roars, charging toward their targeted men.
This is… even more intense than last time.
”Captain!! It’s impossible to withstand this!”
”You fool! Compared to a horde of monsters──eeek, they’re fast! Ah, wait! Support! We’ll be wiped out at this rate!”
”The Captain’s been swallowed up! Help him──! Whoa! Wait! Aaaah!”
”A platoon disappeared within seconds!? What’s going on! Report──ugh, wow! Calm down! Stay calm!”
”It’s no use! Two platoons are already gone!”
”Reinforcements! Don’t embarrass yourselves in front of His Excellency Garvey and His Majesty Kent! Ah! His Excellency Kondrad has been taken! Get him back!”
Before the energetic noble ladies, the officers, who had faced Another World creatures, were in complete disarray.
The pressure this time is even greater than before….
They might be completely hunted down by the end of today.
From the podium, I was convinced of this.
”Your Majesty… it’s becoming unsafe here. I’ll take Royal Guard members and charge, buying as much time as possible. If I fall, please take care of the rest.”
Seeing imminent defeat, Garvey gathered single officers from the Royal Guard, the final reserve.
”It’s fast. Too fast. But if we miss this chance, it’ll be bad. I’m counting on you, Garvey.”
”Yes, sir! I’ll do my best for Your Majesty.”
After bowing, Garvey led the officers and exposed himself to the noble ladies.
”I am Garvey Robert, a high-ranking official! Those who think they can face me, come forth──”
”His Excellency Garvey has fallen! It’s all over!”
Before he finished, Garvey disappeared among the ladies.
I’m sorry, Garvey. I’ll never forget your dedication.
Having lost Kondrad and Garvey, their pillars, the officers lost their will to fight and were utterly defeated.
In the end, all participating officers married, with some taking up to three wives. Thus, the second matchmaking party closed.
The ladies who broke through Garvey’s defense were targeting me from the start—an army of women perfectly matching my tastes.
For a moment, I thought Miriallia and Annabella orchestrated it, but I decided to take them home with pleasure.
