A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 350: What Distance Brings

- Goodbye.

It is a word of farewell and a word of hope that we will never see each other again.

Ruvillia-Vis-secre-de-Verg.

She, the second daughter of the “Countess” of Verg, used that word when she parted from Reurus.

The reason why I swallowed the words I wanted to be reunited and said the words I wanted to never see again was very simple.

That is because the reason that was raised as a daughter of the nobility whispered that it should be done.

I could remember “that night” even after returning to the fortress city of Accra. No matter how many days, weeks or so, it's clear enough to dream.

A girl named Ruvillia took home her first emotion, as I told Reurus. I kept holding my treasure deeply, but cherished it, so that I feared that it would fade over time.

A meadow with a full moon and a round moon illuminating lightly.

Slightly windy, earthy and grassy.

The nervousness and exhilaration of going out for a walk alone with the opposite sex at night.

White bracelet from Reurus.

And for the first time - a confession of love that you will never talk about in your life ahead of you.

All of them are engraved in Ruvillia's memory, along with vivid emotions.

Ruvillia learned the feeling of love. Ruvillia knew that feeling as a real feeling, even though she knew it in words.

Neither does Ruvillia know exactly what triggered that emotion.

Were you attracted to nature during your journey, helped when the Gregorians attacked you, or defeated the 'Neck Hunt' and achieved the conditions Axis gave to heal your body?

"If you're willing to risk your life, I'm willing to risk mine."

Or because you risked your life for yourself with serious eyes and words.

After a two-and-a-half month journey, Ruvillia learned the breadth of the world.

The journey on my feet was very painful, and the “poison” weakened body always gave me a feeling of fatigue, and I wanted to cry again and again because of anxiety and fatigue.

Nevertheless, it was a very pleasant journey that a normal noble daughter would not be able to go through.

Whether you slept outdoors, ate the monsters that Reurus took out on the spot, or had friends like Eliza, Sarah, Meer, and Neddy that weren't there, it was all fresh and fun.

It's not just the first time I've fallen in love. Ruvillia will never forget that journey, which was painful, fearful and still enjoyable.

― ― Regarding doing various “shameful thoughts” with the Reurus opponent, I'm driving it to the edge of my memory.

With those memories in her chest, Ruvillia put on a mask as a noble daughter.

All the life ahead is for the house where I was born. Ruvillia's life exists because of the territory that Father ruled from afar by his brother.

To marry another nobleman, to connect with the house of the Count of Werg, to support the man who will be his husband, and to be his son. That's all Ruvillia has left of her life.

Naturally, there is a desire to make it happen.

But a girl named Ruvillia was a noble daughter, good or bad. It was “aristocratic” enough to push and kill feelings and behave like a nobleman.

In the first place, the difference between the second daughter of the Vicomte and the adventurer is enormous. I would never have interacted with you in such a way that I would never have been involved with you in my life.

That's what we've been traveling together for two and a half months, and we can only call anomalies from Ruvillia.

Therefore, I never saw Reurus again, and even if I did, I thought I could cover my feelings and face him with a "decorated smile” - that's what I thought.

That's what I thought.

"Looks like Reurus is coming to King's Landing."

"... eh?

Ruvillia was able to respond to his brother, Louis, after several seconds.

Like I heard something completely unexpected, like I heard a bad joke, I leaked a stupid voice.

"Natalia must have accompanied him as his escort because he was about to recite... he was surrounded by a group of spirits as he dived through the castle gates. No, as usual..."

It was Louis who spoke with a bitter smile, but not half of the words reached Ruvillia's ears.

The Värg family also visited the King's Capital, where Louis succeeded the Governor and became a Count. And Ruvillia is with us to find someone to marry, to put it simply.

The “reality” is different, but Ruvillia's reputation is unfavourable due to the widespread reputation of weakness.

It is fatal for a noble daughter to be weak. I don't know if I could have a child even if I got married, and if my body hadn't healed, Ruvillia's daughter-in-law would have been severely limited.

Will it be “given” to the late wife of the former lord, whose successor is already an adult and substitute, or to the concubine of a nobleman whose family is greeted by an uppermost wife-wife rather than by Ruvillia, or to a man who serves the House of the Vicomte de Velg?

With the help of Axis, the unicorn, Ruvillia was able to regain her body. On the contrary, I am feeling better than before, but I don't know whether it is influenced by the treatment of Axis or whether I have only gained strength after a long journey.

When I returned to the fortified city of Accra, my health did not deteriorate, and I was assured by the doctors who were holding me in the house of the Viscount of Velg that my health had fully healed, rather it was much stronger.

Against this background, Louis accompanied him to King's Landing.

"Do you want to see him?

Louis asks Louis, staring at Louville, who has lost his words. It is clear who it is pointing to and Ruvillia smiles thinly.

"... no, that's not true. More than that, we have to find a husband....."

Louis didn't blame his speech butt for weakening. He says to laugh bitterly as he sees Ruvillia's expression.

"I'm not worried about that. If we become Counts, we'll find as many as we want. Even if it's difficult, the Marquis Grimer can help you as much as you want. He's the head of the southern aristocracy. Instead, we might hear from the nobles."

"... is that so?"

Oh, yeah.

Louis nodded, and Ruvillia sighed without even noticing. Louis' bitter laughter deepened in his sad sigh.

"Ruvillia... my sweet sister. This promotion and the increase in our territory are thanks to you.“ That's why, if you want. "

"Oniisama"

Louis' words were blocked by Ruvillia's hard voice.

"Viscount Velg… No, do your best as Lord of the Velg family. That's why my body healed."

"... oh, okay."

Lewis retracted to that resolute voice.

"Ruvillia, why don't you change your mind sometimes?

Nearly ten days after Reurus and the others arrived in King's Landing, Louis suddenly suggested such a thing to Ruvillia.

"Are you in a mood change...?

Ruvillia, who spends her days in a residence in King's Landing, has a life that is neither free nor busy.

I set up a social space to prove that my body was feeling better, inviting people from other houses, knights, etc., all of which were boring.

Ruvillia is feeling better and looking for someone to marry - and to promote it, but from Ruvillia's point of view, all the people who face each other in social settings are “not enough.”

Only Ruvillia and all the men and women close to her age met in a social setting.

Face-to-face, named each other, exchanging information in the name of chatting or exercising control as a nobleman, but the mind does not move.

Especially, men are second sons and third sons, even if born of nobility, and the words exchanged do not touch Ruvillia's line. The opponent was delighted with Ruvilia's recovery and praised her appearance, but all her words and deeds felt dim.

Ruvillia responded to them with a smile, but she didn't realize that she was unconsciously comparing it to "someone."

"Oh, I had a little event today. It might be a little exciting, but at least it won't bore me."

Louis made that suggestion because he was worried about Ruville.

Ruvillia nods without deep thought - and equals joy and regret.

Ruvillia was taken to a training ground in King's Landing, in a carriage for nostalgia with no family crest on it.

I wondered what the hell was going on here, but when I noticed a distant figure from the window of a carriage with fabric hanging from the surroundings, I raised my voice unexpectedly.

Ruvillia was delighted because she was able to see someone she thought she would never see again, even in the distance.

Ruvilia regretted it because her chest rang as loud as ever when she saw it.

I thought it would calm down naturally if I didn't face each other over time. But Ruvillia didn't know.

--After a while, I didn't know that there was a feeling of strengthening.

Ruvillia exhales a trembling breath into the battle of the far-sighted and thoughtful Reurus.

The opponent is Bernard, a celebrity even known to Ruvillia, of "Heavenly Thunder." This figure confronts Bernard, one of Mataroi's best talented opponents boldly, fiercely and desperately.

The close enough battle ended in the form of a Reurus defeat, but the opponent was. Ruvillia's feelings were weakened without any trace of dust, but rather intensified.

--When Anemone followed me as an escort and said, "Miss is too excited," my face turned bright red.

Whatever it was, I was able to see the face of Reurus unilaterally. Even if the other person didn't realize it, the feeling that it was filling my chest with thoughts could not replace anything.

Then, more days later, when the Viscount of Werg changed his name to Count of Werg.

― ― Ruvillia is to be reunited with Reurus.
