49 – My lord doesn’t doubt me

As Euler had a quiet conversation in front of the monument, his hair was wet with rain.

But he doesn’t mind that kind of thing, in front of the tombstone, no. To be precise, he told his first daughter what had happened.

And most of the conversation was about me.

She told the dead woman that she had a great friendship with a male writer who was famous for her artifacts, and that she became a disciple of the great wizard Penia.

Anyway, the first one, Reina, seems to have been on good terms with Rail.

After talking a little longer in front of the tombstone, Euler looked at the tombstone with a slight smile. And after he said goodbye lightly, he got up on his dirt-soaked knees.

“Go back to the mansion.”

“Yes.”

We nodded at Euler’s words, and before the rain got stronger we moved on to the wagon.

I turned my head and looked at the countless tombstones before moving to the carriage.

And one of the many tombstones caught my eye.

I stared blankly at a tombstone not far from Reina’s tombstone.

Lorna Febray.

It was the first time I heard the name, but for some reason I couldn’t take my eyes off the tombstone engraved with that name.

After staring at the tombstone in the rain for a long time, Lila, who thought she had gone back to the carriage, approached me.

“Older brother. Then I’ll catch a cold. Come back to the carriage.”

“… Huh.”

I took one last look at the tombstone and moved to the wagon with Lila.

“Then let’s move.”

With the coachman’s horse, the carriage moved again.

Lyla and Euler’s eyes, which were teary to the point of bloodshot eyes, were a little calmer, probably thanks to the passage of time.

As I looked out the window, I remembered the tombstone of a woman named Lorna Febrey that I had just seen.

But no matter how much I tried to remember her, nothing about her came to mind.

Judging from the fact that she was with the Viorland family tombstone, she seemed to be related to the Viorland family.

But that’s all I could expect, nothing I could know about Lorna.

As I stared out the window, lost in my thoughts, Lila’s hand placed it on my lap.

When she turned her head, there was a white handkerchief on her hand.

Then hand the handkerchief to me.

Why are you suddenly giving her a handkerchief?

I didn’t know why Lila was giving me her handkerchief.

Dude. Pop.

At that moment, water droplets ran down her cheeks and landed on her handkerchief.

It seemed like water was dripping from my hair that was wet with rainwater from staring at the tombstone for a long time.

I think Lila handed me her handkerchief to wipe her wet hair with.

Dude.

However, when the hot water dripped down my cheek and onto my hand, I realized it belatedly.

The fact that the flowing water is not rainwater, but tears flowing from my eyes.

After returning to the mansion and confirming our appearance, the servants’ eyes widened.

No wonder, the owner of the house, Oiler, was soiled with dirt, and my hair was a mess from the rain.

Kyle gave an order to the servants who were staring blankly at their families.

“Prepare bath water and change of clothes.”

“I will prepare the bath water right away!”

“I will bring you new clothes!”

Only then, the servants who regained their senses bowed down and hurriedly carried out the order.

I left behind the busy servants and moved to the room where Fenia was.

If you use Fenia’s magic once, even your dirty body will become dry. Why is it necessary to wash your body?

I arrived in front of her room and knocked lightly on the door.

“… ….”

But when I knocked on the door, there was no answer.

I knocked once more, but there was no voice, so I slowly opened the door.

“Did you go out for a while?”

And when I opened the door, there were only Fenia’s items in the room, but Fenia was nowhere to be seen.

“Penia went out for a while.”

“It’s a surprise. Pretend to be popular and show up….”

I was a little surprised to see Aline appearing next to me.

The other kids could sense that they were approaching because of the magic flowing around them, but Fenia and Allin couldn’t tell if they were hiding magic even if they were right next to them.

As for Aline, I wonder if the reaction I was surprised the other day was funny, she started showing up without pretending to be there from the last time.

“So, do you know where Penia went?”

She said, “I heard she is going to the imperial family.”

“Imperial family? Why did you suddenly go there?”

“They say the emperor called them himself.”

The emperor himself called Penia….

I didn’t know exactly why, but there was something I could guess.

An emperor has one daughter and one son. And the emperor asks Fenia, the continent’s greatest wizard, to teach her own children.

However, Chloe refused the emperor’s request, saying that it was annoying.

Even the emperor couldn’t treat the archmage, Fenia, carelessly, so the emperor made the incident at that time a non-event.

However, after a few years, Fenia chose me, the eldest son of a writer, as her disciple after being ordinary, and she stayed in her mansion and taught me her magic.

From the point of view of the emperor who was once rejected by Pena, that would not be a very good look.

That’s why she must have come up with several nonsensical reasons and called Penia her imperial family.

It’s a short guess, but considering the emperor’s personality revealed in the original work, it was highly likely.

“Did Fenia say anything else?”

She said, “She made a new potion in the room and said to use it if needed. And she said she wouldn’t be back at her mansion for a week or so.”

“A week or so.”

Still, it was fortunate that it returned pretty quickly.

I nodded her head and looked at Aline.

Alyn is somehow not wearing her usual clothes, she is wearing the rags she was wearing when I first met her.

And I knew what day Aline would wear it.

“My lord. I think I will have to leave for about three days. Would it be okay if I leave for a while? If the lord says no, I won’t go.”

“Come.”

I allowed Aline to go out without the slightest hesitation.

I don’t know about Aline, but I knew why Aline was away from her for a while.

“Is it okay to allow that easily?”

“Uh. Aren’t you the kind of person who would leave without a reason?”

Aline looked at me with a blank expression for a while, as if she hadn’t expected that I would give permission at once.

After a while, she nodded and muttered in a low voice.

“My lord doesn’t doubt me… ….”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

I must have muttered something, but it was hard to hear because of the rain outside.

“Sure. Go right now I will try to come back as soon as possible.”

“Yes. Be careful.”

Aline, who was allowed to go out, immediately left her mansion.

Even though it was raining on her, Aline quickly moved her feet back to her hometown.

The speed was so fast that she was out of sight.

After taking a shower, I returned to my room and cleaned up the clothes I had worn at Chloe’s mansion.

Took.

And a white envelope fell from his clothes to the floor.

I picked up an unfamiliar letter envelope and checked the name written on the envelope.

The sender’s name is Chloe Krafdon.

Apparently, when Chloe came into my room, he secretly put a letter inside my clothes.

And then he lowered his gaze, checking the recipient’s name.

Of course I thought it was a letter from me, but the name written on it was Euler Bioland.

I was a bit taken aback by the unexpected name, but I happened to have something to ask of Euler, so I went straight to Euler’s room.

Knock. Knock.

“Come in.”

Entering the room, I greeted Euler lightly and handed him a letter from Chloe.

“What stationery?”

“This is a letter from Chloe.”

“… ….”

At the word that Chloe had sent, Euler nervously swallowed his dry saliva.

After confirming that the letter had the Krafdon family’s seal on it, he slowly opened the envelope.

Euler’s tense expression began to straighten out as he read the letter, and when his gaze approached the end of the letter, he looked at the letter alternately with disbelief eyes.

“What is written inside?”

“Heh heh. Rail, you did a pretty big job this time too!”

Euler looked at me with a big smile.

“The Krafdon family says they are giving full support to the Violand family.”

“You mean full support for our family?”

“Yes. If you’re applying to a place like the Krafdon family, advancing to the center is no longer a dream.”

Advance to the center to further enhance the status of the family.

Euler said to me, raising the corner of his mouth, as if he was proud of me.

“Rail, if you want anything, tell me. If you want, I can increase your allowance as much as you want.”

Euler asked confidently, laughing as if he had been drinking.

The offer to increase my pocket money wasn’t too bad, but I still had enough pocket money, so I shook my head and said.

And in a slightly calmer voice, he looked at Euler and said.

“Lenia Violand. Please give me the key to your room.”
