This is the third volume in the saga of our beloved “sponging protagonist,” and at this point, “sponging” is the last thing he’s doing. A year has passed since his marriage to Queen Aura of Capua, and the capital has welcomed their new child and heir to the throne, Carlos Zenkichi. The kingdom is busy with festivities to celebrate the happy news, but something more ominous has reached Aura’s ears. Margrave Gaziel tells her that his territory has had no salt for a year, and with his lands lacking both sea and rock salt, it could spell the region’s end. While the queen immediately orders an investigation, Zenjirou’s free time is becoming more than he can handle in the inner palace, and he starts to investigate what advancements might be made to move their nation forward.

With a new year come new beginnings. In this case, that new beginning is in General Pujol’s love life. The man’s petition to marry the eldest daughter of the Gaziel family has arrived on Aura’s desk. Ordinarily, such a petition would be summarily refused—a marriage between the central and provincial nobles runs too great a risk of destabilizing the power of the royal family. However, Aura’s culpability for the general’s bachelorhood means that she cannot dismiss the request so easily. This presents other problems: at least one royal will need to attend, which means Zenjirou will be leaving home once again due to the general’s insistence on holding the ceremony in the border march. At the same time, Freya has arrived, and when she hears of the wedding, she asks to attend as Zenjirou’s partner. Such an arrangement usually indicates romance between the pair, so her suggestion is effectively a marriage proposal. How will Zenjirou respond?! And what will come of his relationship with Aura?!
