2255 - - 60-20 Gift Name
The time goes back one day to the morning of July 6 in the <>.
Jin heard through Reiko that Moritz had given birth to a child.
He would like to fly to congratulate her immediately, but he is under the care of His Majesty the Emperor.
"It's not possible right now, but I'll be relieved if ...... Elsa will go ahead of me to celebrate."
Even though they are in-laws,......, it is because they are in-laws that Jin wanted to make sure to greet them properly.
"Father, why don't you leave one of us to the doppelganger?"
Reiko, unable to look at Jin, suggested,
"......Hmmm,......<> is also a good idea,......"
Jin is concerned about the shortcomings of the idea.
Emperor Taue (Hilde) and the Moritz family. The question of whether one of them should be given a is unanswerable.
"It would be disrespectful to both of them. ......"
Besides, I'll be in two places at the same time, and I don't think I'll have any excuses if they ask me about that.
"But I'd like to go and say hello to them before the seventh night. ......"
The seventh night is a celebration held on the seventh night after the baby's birth to pray for the baby's healthy growth.
It is said to be a folk customary event that has continued since the Heian period (794-1185), and sometimes a naming ceremony is held at the same time to name the newborn child.
Jin was told by the director of the hospital that the ceremony was held at .......
Jin thought that this was an event that he and the children in the facility had probably never had any connection with, but perhaps that was why it had left such a strong impression on him.
Incidentally, there is no such custom in the countries of Ars.
Just as Jin was thinking about his congratulatory gift to Moritz, a voice called out to him from behind.
"Where are you going to greet him?"
"What?
Surprised, Jin says, "Your Majesty!
"No, Jin-kun. I am , aren't I?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Master Hilde."
When Jin apologized, Hilde smiled at him,
"Then, tell me where you are going to greet him?
He asked.
"I have come to ......."
Jin thought for a moment about how to deceive the Emperor, but he knew he could not win against Hilde, so he decided to tell the truth.
"Actually, I heard that Moritz Randall, Elsa's brother, had a baby girl. ......"
Just in case he hears about it on the <> in <>.
"Well! That's great news! I wish I could go to ...... too."
"What?"
The Grand Emperor Hilde said that she too wanted to go to congratulate Moritz on his child.
"When I was a public figure, I couldn't favor a particular house like that, but now I'm a private person. ...... Jin, you can handle it, can't you?"
"That's ...... not impossible.
I'm not saying you can't do it. No, he could do it without any problem, but Jin hesitated to answer.
But he was not confident that he could keep a secret from the Emperor Hilde,
"I can do it.
He answered, "Yes, I can.
"At the maximum speed of <>, we can reach the Shoro Empire in about 4 hours.
Barely, he was able to say that he could go there by <> instead of <>.
"Well, that's not a problem. We can stay here for the day as planned and leave here tomorrow before noon.
Hilde said that with the time difference, they would be able to arrive at Elsa's parents' house on the evening of the 7th.
Hilde knew exactly what the time difference was.
I understand. I will try to adjust the schedule accordingly.
Since there was no problem, it was possible enough to adjust the schedule.
However.
"Do you think I should give him something?
Jin had planned to leave the gift to Erza, so he was surprised when Hilde asked him about it.
"No, I think it's enough that His Majesty ...... is going to congratulate the Emperor (Hilde), that's all."
"Is that what this is about?"
"Yes, that's the way it is."
However, the Emperor Taisho (Hilde) still seems to be somewhat unconvinced. But then..,
"Oh, I have an idea!
she suddenly said as if she had an idea.
"I'll give you a name."
A gift name.
Literally, <>.
When the nobles of the Shoro Kingdom come of age, their official names are <>.
Before coming of age, they are not considered full-fledged nobles, so they cannot take the <> part of their name.
However, it was customary to have a given name even before coming of age.
The name was supposed to be given by a member of the royal family or a member of the higher nobility, depending on his or her title.
Therefore, it is not strange that <><> would give a gift ....... But....
"Is it normal for a quasi-baronet to be given the name ...... by the Taishang Emperor?"
"...... is not very normal."
"Wow. ......."
In aristocratic society, proportion is important.
An ill-matched or ill-suited gift is a source of envy.
"But there are examples in the past. Families that have made great achievements, or have produced many talented people.
"Oh, the Randalls, then. ......"
"I think we're just barely within the bounds of common sense."
Jin thought that the family that produced Elsa, the <>, would be enough for a good cause.
But still, I am a little worried,
"Erza herself should be over there at the moment, so I hope you will take that into consideration as well.
It is said that "the stake that sticks out gets hammered down. Jin was worried that other nobles would be jealous of the newly revived Randall family.
In this respect, Jin thought that it would be less embarrassing to give the gift of the name through Elsa herself.
"Ah, that would be a good enough foil. You have Elsa and with you."
"...... yes?"
Hilde explains with a wry smile to Jin's puzzled face.
"If it's the niece of Elsa, the <> and Jin, the <>, then it wouldn't be surprising if I showed up."
"I see."
Jin had completely forgotten about himself, but with such connections, it would certainly not be surprising if the Grand Emperor was involved.
And then the Grand Emperor (Hilde) said..,
"She is a girl, isn't she? If you want to ......, you can contact Von <. What do you think?"
asked Jin.
Rubella is made from . Like ruby, it is a red-colored gemstone.
"Yes, I think so."
Jin affirmed, knowing that many of the Randalls' family names were derived from gemstones.
"Yes? Then let's name it <>."
Jin hoped that Moritz's brother-in-law would not have a stroke.
