A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 330: Prep Part 2
Natalia and Lewis sip each other's tea and look at each other like they control their opponents. Of course, it is not a blatant gaze that can be readily seen from the side.
It is a confrontation that smiles at each other and shows friendly attitude.
If Reurus had been here, he would have smiled just like Natalia or Louis. However, the smile must have attracted him and he must have been looking for a way out of the scene.
"So? Can you tell me why you called me through Reurus?”
It was Natalia who cut my tongue first. Dare to confront questions straight away.
That's not why I broke my stomach and ran into doubt, as Lewis said. From Natalia's point of view, it was just a question of restraint.
When Louis carried the teacup to his mouth in a familiar manner, the girl walking around town smiled so openly that her cheeks seemed red.
"There are a few reasons... I wanted to see you."
"Oh, what an honor."
Natalia also smiled back at Louis, smiling. It's like a dictatorial word from Lewis, but you can't live in aristocratic society if you accept it at face value.
"How do you feel about face-to-face?
"It's an honor to be able to speak with someone as beautiful as you."
Lewis's words were terribly detached when he said that he would break his stomach and talk about whether he was trying to elicit Natalia's reaction with a beautiful lyrics. But Lewis kept saying it before Natalia pointed it out.
"But at the same time, I admire the rumors that he's an amazing wizard."
"I'm sorry to hear that. If you don't mind, may I ask why you thought so?
Natalia closed one of her eyes as she gracefully drank tea.
"Compared to Natalia, I'm a genius, but I can also use magic... that skill that doesn't make me feel magic at all at this close range. That's one or two of the magic captains of all time."
Louis pays a heartfelt tribute to Natalia, who completely conceals her magic.
Even if Lewis had fought with Sebastian and Anemone, it would not have been a battle.
He left the Mataroi National Army Third Magic Corps captain and assumed command of Laval Waste City, saying that he was far from the battle, but there was no gap in his behavior.
"Fufufufu... that's the past."
That was Natalia smiling, but from Lewis' point of view, there was no gap between being a natural body and being able to throw in fine dust.
"Hahahaha... please be modest"
Therefore, hide your inner marvel with a smile, and hide it with a teacup when your mouth is about to tremble. And as Lewis calmed down with a breath, he stared into Natalia's eyes.
"I wanted to see you, but I also wanted to thank you for your help with my sister, Reurus. I am grateful to you, Reurus, but I will never forget the thanks you gave me for lending them."
"Let's keep it... fufu, it's expensive.
"Haha, that's scary."
Louis grinned bitterly at Natalia's words. I also told Reurus and the others that I had no intention of overthrowing my debt in the matter of Ruvillia.
Still, Lewis feels slightly depressed in front of Natalia. Louis also has the experience he deserves as a nobleman, but the number of places Natalia lurks in front of him is different.
Natalia's position as a nobleman is a masterpiece of the National Army's ascendancy to the Captain. There were dead lines in the dive, and the difference made Lewis feel “different” even with a light word exchange.
"Dear Natalia, how about a cup of tea?
Sebastian feels that, too, and makes such a suggestion so that Lewis has time to fully recover. Hearing that, Natalia smiled and offered a teacup.
"Please."
Natalia, who accepted it with a grand attitude, murmured as she observed Sebastian's work with a smile.
"Speaking of which... there seems to have been a lot of trouble with Unicorn."
"Yeah... there's a lot going on."
Louis nodded seriously at the words that contained Natalia.
"But thanks to that, we also benefited. As long as I'm happy to be the custodian of the territory."
"More territory, more titles... you should be happy as a nobleman. Speaking of which, which merchant got caught and tied up?
Natalia turns the subject into something she just remembers. To change the subject, Lewis frowned in pain.
"I heard you were dealing in“ dangerous things ”with one of the nobles. No, it's horrible. It seems that the nobles“ didn't know anything ”, but it's a horrible story when things just cut off their territory..."
That's how Louis drank his tea. And when the anemones brewed tea, they exhaled a little sigh.
"Oops... I'm sorry to exhale."
"Never mind. I can feel your heart."
Natalia smiles, just as she says she doesn't care. Louis laughed back at Natalia and drank a sip of tea before changing the subject.
"By the way, does Natalia look good to the people who live in King's Landing?
Until then, the topic changed, and Louis waved while lightening the atmosphere somewhere. Natalia answered with a bitter smile.
"Even though it's a good face, it's from when I belonged to the King's army."
"Really... no, as you know, my territory is far from King's Landing. This is how we set up the villa, but our relationship with the people who live in King's Landing really gets thinner."
Louis moans that he can only show his face once or twice a year.
"If you don't mind telling me,“ for my sister ”, if you don't have a good relationship with the whole house somewhere...."
"I feel so good about your family. My sister....."
"Yes, it's Ruvillia. I don't have any other daughters-in-law."
Natalia's eyebrows moved slightly to the words added later. Still smiling on the surface, I shook my neck sideways.
"Many of my acquaintances belong to the army, and all of them are already married when they come to welcome Lord Ruvillia....."
"Really... I'm sorry. If you want to make Ruvillia happy, you'll have to keep an eye on the inferiority of your family....."
That's how Lewis sends a glimpse. Natalia took it with a smile and Louis waved with a bitter smile.
"No, this is our fault. I was impatient with everything."
"Lord Ruvillia will be happy to have a brother who is so distracted."
Laugh at each other and moisturize your throats with tea. And when he took a breath, Louis talked about a new topic.
"By the way, Natalia, have you heard anything about the territory you gave us at independence?“ If you are close to our territory, I will make it convenient along with my previous obligations..... "
"Well... His Majesty the King will decide around here. If you get recommendations from multiple houses, you might be able to get through."
Natalia continued her words with a smile.
I have plans to go around a few places for consultation, but I don't know what's going to happen.
"Really... please feel free to call me if you have anything. If I can help a woman like you, it's a man's handiwork."
Louis smiles as much as Natalia smiles.
Natalia then exchanged information while having a chat and left the villa of the Värg family behind.
"How was it?
Collard, who manipulates the horse as a lord, calls out to Natalia, who boarded the carriage in the same way as the road. Natalia, who was questioned, shrugged her shoulders and smiled a little.
"There are still not enough spots, but the next generation of the Viscount Velg seems to be stable."
"Hmm... so highly rated."
Collard nodded impressively as he cleverly manipulated the two-headed cord.
"I was also favorable about our independence. Of course, you have a plan."
"You can't call yourself a nobleman if you don't have a plan. Instead, you're afraid you're not going to do it.
"Fufu... that's right."
Natalia smiles satisfactorily at Collard's words. It was a very beautiful and pathetic smile, but Collard pulled his cheeks with a feeling he couldn't say.
"Alright, Captain? Aren't you planning something?
"Oh, why would I ask that?
Because I was afraid of smiling, but I can't naturally say that. As a result, Collard pretended to confirm the safety of the route and lost sight.
"Well, that's just what I thought."
"Really? I'm not thinking about anything bad for you.
Natalia tells the story with a deep smile, but Collard fixes his gaze forward to avoid looking at Natalia's face.
"Really, I'm not thinking about anything bad for you.
"Why are you repeating it..."
To Natalia, who keeps pushing, Collard felt a tingling pain in his stomach. But Collard dismissed the pain, which he was even familiar with the earliest, and regained his calm.
"Phew... where should we go next?
"That's right....."
While responding to the steady “preparation”, Natalia indicated her next destination.
