A young girl in a village without protection

I couldn't believe what happened in front of me, and Zelicina opened her eyes wide. But soon, if you don't calm down, take a small, deep breath to keep your mind normal.

"I have to say hello to all the villagers, too. My name is Merliah Saltimar. Blessed is Frey, God of abundance."

With that said, Melia smiled at the villagers.

Then, sometimes with the protection of God, the villagers become very surprised and welcome mood about Merriam.

Well, even though it came all of a sudden, there's nothing I can do to offend your nobility.

(Or did you come to me cheeky Master Solatique!?)

Wrong thing to do -! And, Zelicina can hardly stand to scream.

"Dear Meliá, this has become a village called Zerin. Thank you for coming."

"You've decided your name, haven't you? It sounds just like Master Tsericina, very nice."

To Meliá, who giggles, Zelicina holds her head wondering what's wrong.

First of all, I reject what you just said, the unsure claim that we want to grow a great tree together. I use the system to grow it so hard, there's no way I'd make anyone but myself the master of that great tree.

(And... it's not insane to suddenly come without any foretaste)

The house of Meliá, Saltimar, has no territory.

Therefore, there are no restrictions on which territory to go. If this is the one with the territory, it is manners to put in touch with the lord to whom it is destined.

However, there are exceptions to that.

That's when you visit the lord of the land. At that time, it is necessary to send a letter to that effect and wait for a response.... Though this is a common manners that can be said for any occasion.

Zelicina wants to sigh, wondering if Melia doesn't even know that.

(The Saltimar family of heroines does not have a great tree...)

Because of this, you have the protection of Frey, the god of abundance, but you may have thought that this is a treasure rot.

But for growing a great tree in someone else's territory...... oh, maybe he's going to ask Zelicina for something in return.

"... Mr. Anton, I'd like to have a slow cup of tea with Merriam, so if you'll excuse me, could you lend me a room?

"Sure. Bye."

Zelicina asked Anton for permission and decided to talk to Melia at his house.

Tell everyone in the village to enjoy the food and step back.

Breathe in relief at the fragrance of dark tea.

Toy has been waiting for me in front of the house, and only four of us are here right now: Zelicina, Hisui, Meliá and her escort.

"I heard it was a village without a name, but you were given a name. Are you already on the map?

"No, that's what we're going to do. This is just the beginning of the village."

"Still, some big trees are very amazing. Master Solatique asked me, is Daiki very valuable and not so easily available?

Melia glittered her eyes so much that she soon found out that she wanted Daiki too. Maybe it wasn't on Solatique.

Of course, there's no way I can get it.

"I'm sorry," Tsericina said, smiling bitterly.

"The great tree in this village is an important one that I received from your father. So I don't intend to grow it with someone…"

"Really..."

I'm sure you thought you'd accept. Melia was openly depressed and lowered her eyebrows.

"... why are you so obsessed with the big tree? Of course, Merriam-sama has protection, so I know she wants to grow it..."

The only people who grow great trees are the aristocrats who are gaining territory.

If Merliah really wants to be involved in the management of the Great Tree, she has no choice but to dowry or adopt a great nobleman who is gaining territory.

Or marry a prince because the royal family also has a great tree...

"I must apologize to Master Tsericina."

"Huh?"

To a sudden apology, Tsericina is puzzled.

Could it be an apology for coming to this village without any contact? Then I'm going to accept it, and Zelicina urges me to go ahead.

"Me, I like Master Solatique!

…………

(I know -!?)

Why, here and now, say that!

Hisui, who had refrained behind him, has also opened his eyes in surprise.

Though Solatique is destined to be bonded to Meliá, he is now Zelicina's fiancée. This statement by Meliá is not appropriate.

I wonder if you haven't given me a lesson in manners, which makes me want to sigh. But then again, it reminds me of Merriam's birth.

She was weak and cured in the countryside. That's why I don't study manners enough, and dancing is still shitty.

"Dear Merriam,"

"Yes?"

"I know very well how you feel about Meliá. But Master Solatique is my fiancée. You care so much about me."

…………

Even if she was close to falling in love with Meliá, Solatique treats me dearly about her fiancée, Zelicina.

I'm sure that will last until then when the engagement is broken. That is why Zelicina must behave as the fiancée of Solatique, the King's Prince.

"I have decided not to hear what is now said. So please, Merliah, put a lid on your feelings."

"Huh..."

"... Me and Merriam may be close in age and seem like friends... but I am the daughter of the Marquis. And now, only in the Seven Districts, but my father has also given me the status of Lordship Agent."

As Merliah said, it's a tough word... but Zelicina told me to be more aware of my identity.

"To be honest, it could be Merriam-like advantages. But if you really want the Lady of Solatique… study."

Manners as a lady, of course, history in courtesy and geography among the nobles. There's about as many stars to learn.

Otherwise, after the happy ending route will be very difficult. This is at least support from Zelicina.

"... Yes"

Melia nodded as she dropped her shoulders to see if Zelicina's words echoed.

"Then... when visiting people, you need to make a promise beforehand. It wasn't important because it was me, but if I were another nobleman, I might come to protest Meliá's house."

"What, really...? Master Solatique didn't always say anything..."

I preached manners along with a little scolding, and on the contrary, they asked me about my love. What does this mean?

(... Well, it's a good thing you two are doing well)

"Me, you sound like a kid who knows nothing. Thank you for everything you've told me, Master Tsericina. I encourage you to learn more so that you are worthy of Master Solatique!

"... Really?"

Have you forgotten what happened earlier?

I thought you told me to put a lid on that feeling because my fiancée in Solatique is Zelicina, but I can't get a declaration that I'll deserve it.

Merliah needs to find a tutor as soon as she decides to! And I got up.

"Dear Zelicina, it was a great pleasure talking to you today. I said terrible things and thank you for being so close. Can I come back and see you?

"... Yep. If you write to me first."

"Of course!

Has Zelicina's far-flung sermon reached Meliá properly? No, I guess this is how you're trying to get home because it's arrived.

"Now if you'll excuse me, Master Tsericina"

"Be careful on your way home"

"Yes! Thank you"

I saw Merliah take the escort out, and one sigh I've been enjoying.

For one thing, Tsericina stroked her chest down relieved that peace had returned to the village.
