Her Royal Highness Seems to be Angry

53 Her Royal Highness seems to have protected

In the entrance hall of Leticiel's mansion, Nicole waited for her own husband to return as she cleaned the scabbard in her hand. When it's always time to go home, this is how they come to the front door to welcome you.

From outside the entrance she heard the sound of stopping the carriage, and Nicole would leave the “ as usual ” and go outside, where she saw the four people coming down from the carriage.

"I'm home, Nicole"

"Welcome back, lady..."

Leticiel greets Nicole for picking me up. Behind it stands Eddie and Luvik, who negatively attacked Barry.

Nicole, who was a pocan at first, returned to me when she saw Barry with the scratches on Luvik's back.

"Nicole, the rooms are in working order, right?

"Yes, I'm fine! If you need water or tools, I'll bring them."

"Please."

Nicole rushes back to the butterfly and mansion, and Leticiers head to the room early enough to lay Barry on the bed.

"Hold on, Mr. Barry! Can you hear me?

"... Ugh..."

Seeing how he's reacting to Eddie's voice hanging, he seems conscious.

"Mr. Barry, I'm going to treat you now, so just step on it a little bit more."

"Huh? Will Master Drossel be treated?

"Yes, Mr. Eddie, please stay with him."

After a while, Nicole brings a basin and cloth with water, and Leticiel takes care of it after Luvik soaks up sweat and blood.

A pale light wraps Bally when Leticiel hands around. Leticiel used advanced healing magic, which can also heal severe injuries without scarring, but instead the surgery is activated and treated for a long time.

The soft orange light gently envelops Barry's body like cotton, and over a dozen minutes the wrinkles and scars disappear one by one. Eventually, as the light drifted unreliably and sucked into his surroundings and disappeared, he heard a small groan from his bed and Barry slowly opened his eyelids.

"... what the hell is this place..."

"Did you notice, Mr. Barry?

Barry didn't seem to have figured out the situation, and when he noticed Leticiel speaking up as he peered into his own face, he glanced around at the room and blinked.

"Are you... sure, the other day..."

"Oh, do you remember me?

"Yes... Sieg-kun's..."

"Yeah, my name is Drossel, my classmate. It's up to me to find you in the alley behind the king's capital and bring you to the mansion for treatment. How are you feeling?

Asked so, Barry puts his arms against the ceiling and moves them to the left and right to confirm the dislocated shoulders.

"There is no pain... But this... No, why?

Despite all those major injuries, Barry couldn't seem to hide his surprise that he didn't have one scar on him, moving his arms, holding his hands tightly and opening them.

"Oh, thank you, Master Drossel. What a thank you..."

"I can't thank you enough. Please still lie down more than that. You can't heal wounds, but you can't heal physical ones."

Leticiel pushes Barry to get his upper body up. The wound has just healed, and I'm not supposed to be healthy enough yet.

"So, Mr. Barry, what happened? How did you get hurt like this?

……

"Can you let me know what happened?

Sitting in a round chair beside the bed, Eddie asked Barry worried.

Barry, who was not sure whether to say it or not at first, also started talking potpouts when Eddie asked sincerely a few times.

"... In fact, the contract for additional purchases with the Schlemmer Chamber of Commerce has been postponed..."

Barry has a visibly depressed look on his face. Leticiel remembered about the business meeting Sieg and Eddie went to a few days ago.

"Deferred? How could... the business was in place, wasn't it?

Eddie opens his eyes like he can't believe it, but Mr. Barry quietly shakes his neck to the side.

"My big husband at Schlemmer told me he was suddenly postponing the deal. They didn't tell me exactly why, but everything seems to have lost a fortune when a caravan was attacked while transporting goods..."

"Speaking of which, there was such an article in yesterday's paper. A few days ago, a caravan that was on the way to the Wang capital was attacked by bandits and the luggage they were carrying was uprooted and robbed? It seems that both the merchants who were deprived of the goods and the people who were investing in the caravan suffered enormous damage"

He took over Barry's words and put his hand on his chin when Luvik said so, indispensable for gathering information in the newspapers from day to day. If you did suffer so much damage, now would not be the place for a new contract.

"The travel expenses are running out of money, so I was walking around looking for somewhere else to stay cheap and suddenly I was surrounded by those guys... I managed to escape, but they chased me all the time..."

"How did you get Mr. Barry so far...? Do you have any idea?

Leticiel glanced at Barry slightly, but Barry shook his neck sideways as he sifted with a bewildered look.

"No...... not at all. Sometimes when they break the contract and go to ask for a reschedule it is given back, but nothing else..."

"Is it possible that unions (guilds) have gotten caught up in some rubbing between themselves?

I remember what Eric told me the other day, and Leticiel asked Eddie if it might have anything to do with it.

"Hmmm...... what do you think? When evidence is found and tried, it will be both a success and a failure, and if you are a union that wants to do business for a long time, you don't seem to be in such a violent way until you take the risk of losing your food support due to bad reviews and suspension of trading..."

In response to Leticiel's question, Eddie answers with his arms together and wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"What are the chances that the customer you are delivering to or some nobleman's mood has been compromised?

"Then I don't think it would be strange if there were rumors about the poor quality of the product or something like that..."

"That's right. We don't seem to have such a bad reputation for our products..."

Nicole and Luvik were also added, and then we came up with various possibilities, but none of them left the prediction range, and the conversation hit the end of the line.

As she spins the interrupted conversation, Leticiel changes the subject and speaks to Barry.

"You said you got rid of the inn, what are you going to do after this?

"In a few moments the villagers will arrive in Wang Capital to make money, so we are going to take the lodging together with them as soon as we arrive"

"... Isn't that dangerous? Those men might come after Mr. Barry again, right?

Eddie says worryingly as he whispers Barry's words.

"I can't sew anymore. I can only help the village by selling in and around, and I can't bother everyone in the village any more because the Inn cost is being constructed by Sieg-kun. I was wondering if I could stay in a cheaper inn until the cashier arrives..."

I do hear that many of the cheap inns are outside the Wang capital and that such places are often insecure. You can't put Barry in danger again when his body wounds aren't healing. Leticiel conceives for a while and suggests to Barry.

"Mr. Barry, why don't you stay with us if you like? Here, at least, it's much safer than a lodging in Wangdu."

"Huh? But I can't bother you any more..."

"I'm not a nuisance. Don't let the needy go."

After leaving the Duke's house, he touched on the circumstances of Cloud and Nicole, learning more about the situation in the village of Sieg, and realizing that a thousand years ago and still today, the lives of the people were accompanied by various afflictions, difficulties and feelings of powerlessness coupled with cotton.

In this time of peace, far from the war, I guess I, reincarnated as a nobleman, live the riches of which I casually sing every day.

But as I saw and heard this rich and peaceful country after leaving the Duke's house, it seemed that the ordeal buried in the daily life of the people was hidden on the other side of the dreamy mirage of a brilliant aristocratic society, and I felt my chest clogged many times. Is there anything I can do to reach out to you? Leticiel thought so.

"But you still can't......! Low-identity countrymen like me are causing trouble to Mr. Drossel..."

He also controls Barry, and Leticiel talks gently as he teaches.

"If there was someone in trouble, it makes sense to help, and it doesn't matter who you are. Most importantly, the injury has just healed. Affordable accommodation is dangerous, and Sieg and everyone in the village will be saddened if anything happens to Mr. Barry. So don't worry about staying."

Barry, who was trying to shy away, was impressed by Leticiel's words and admitted that he would eventually stay at the Mansion in tears.

"Thank you so much......! If there's anything I can do, please let me know if it's a chore in your mansion or anything."

Moisturizing his much appreciated eyes, Barry bowed his head to Leticiel many times. That was all, Leticiel's words were incredible and delightful to Barry at the same time.

"I'm off today and tomorrow, and I'm going back to King's Landing, so I'll take a message to Lord Sieg."

"Dear Drossel and Eddie, thank you from nothing to nothing. I will never forget this royal grace......!

Leticiel manages to calm down Barry, who is about to cry.

"Still, what were those men?

A story with Barry just came to a paragraph, and Leticiel snaps, as I recall. Eddie also sprained his neck, but here came unexpected information from Barry.

"Speaking of which... those men all had the same tattoos"

Barry's word made Leticiel a hat. Speaking of which, I remembered that there was something like a tattoo on the arm of a man who had been beaten with a stick.

"... Speaking of which, you had a tattoo"

"I remember... I think it was a sword-like shape intertwined with something like a snake or a snake"

As Barry said, he began to paint something in the air with a small gesture.

Seeing it, Leticiel glances at Luvik, and when Luvik hands him the paper that was stuck in his desk drawer, Barry starts painting his tattoo without a trace.

"... oh? Mr. Barry, is it possible that your right arm injury is not healing?

Seeing Barry's right arm with the pen unnaturally shudder with a pull, Leticiel tries to get ready for sorcery again, wondering if there's anything he missed, but Barry stops it and laughs as he rubs his own arm.

"Oh, no. This is because of the old wounds, so never mind. Since I was injured when I was younger, I have no strength in my arm. It's just a little hard to hold a pen..."

Having said that, Barry managed to draw it up to the end.

"If that's the case, don't push yourself too hard. Rest first. Nicole, you ready for dinner?

"Yes, ma'am!

When Leticiel gave the instructions, Nicole bravely left the room. While Luvik and the others are out, Nicole is always ready to eat.

"... this is..."

Barry picks up the tattoo-like paper he draws up, and Eddie snaps small as he stares at it, but Leticiel speaks to Eddie unaware of the grunt.

"Would you like to join Mr. Eddie?

"Oh, no. Thanks for your patience, but I have some business to attend to... Now if you'll excuse me"

"Really? Let me at least drop you off at the front door."

"Thank you for your concern. By the way, can I keep this paper for you at my place? I'll try to hit a lot of things."

"Yeah, of course. Best regards,"

Leticiel also leaves the room and heads to the entrance with Eddie, who rose as Barry folded his tattooed paper and put it in his pocket of nostalgia.

"Speaking of which, how can Mr. Eddie use healing magic?

On the road to the entrance, Leticiel asked Eddie what he had always cared about.

I got rushed through in the field, but not many civilians can use magic in this world. Later, when he had a rare light attribute, Leticiel wondered where Eddie had learned magic.

"Oh, my grandfather was studying alchemy, and he was studying magic to a certain extent. I've been teaching my grandfather a lot of things for a long time."

"Well... renquin technique, is it?

Leticiel didn't know the alchemy technique or his name, but Eddie kept talking about it because he didn't think he knew the alchemy.

"Yeah, I was studying the combined application of magic and alchemy. I used to do things like doctors and pharmacists, but it was hard for me to understand."

"Heh..."

"Dear Drossel, if you're interested, may I lend you a book next time? You liked old books, didn't you? I also have some of the artwork related books I purchased last month on my trip, so I'll bring them if I like."

"Oh, yeah? Let me ask you a favor."

While we had that conversation, they even came to the entrance.

"The sun is setting, so be careful on the road"

"Yes, Master Drossel, I'd like you to meet Mr. Barry."

"Yes."

I was also concerned about the reality of alchemy because it was a discipline that was not in Leticiel's time, but I can't persevere in asking at this time when Eddie is going home.

Leticiel thought as she dropped Eddie's back off, liding her own curiosity for a moment and finding out for herself about alchemy in the library.

The lights went out from the houses of the Wang capital and the residence of the Duke of Filialeggis when the city was completely asleep. One man walks quietly down a dim hallway just lit by candles at equal intervals.

The dull, greasy cape and hood make the discreet outfit the man stops in front of a certain room, upstairs, with a private room facing the Duke's house.

"Are you still awake? Dear Saligna,"

A small voice can be heard through the door. Saligna, who was sitting on the couch at the window drinking hot wine, rang the bell that was on the round table instead of responding.

Granting permission to enter, the door of the room quietly opened and the shadow in the cape slipped in. Saligna puts the glass down and points her purple eyes at the man.

"You were later than usual today."

"I'm sorry"

"Well fine. So what did you find out about Drossel?

Saligna, who had been uncomfortable with the state of affairs since she met Drossel in a suburban mansion, had hired a secret detective to keep Drossel under close surveillance after the day she had eaten the call to Scarlo.

"The behavioral cycle in life has remained the same, with schools, Wang Du and homes at the centre, with no noticeable changes as previously reported"

"Yes..."

"However, the lady was defeating men like mercenaries in the capital this afternoon."

To that one word, Saligna's eyebrows move pickly.

"Tell me more about it."

When Saligna urged him to go ahead, the secret detective began to talk about the main points of what had happened at the time.

"The young lady brought her squire to the newly risen Chamber of Commerce, where she tried to help by witnessing an injured man on his way home, and was confronted by a pair of men who followed her."

"So what happened to that girl?

"It was a flowing gesture to throw one of the pair away. Ever since, we've been using powerful junction magic, which seems to be a light attribute, to retreat from our opponents."

Hearing that, Saligna wrinkles between her eyebrows. She felt clearly uncomfortable. Because what the secret detective told us was incredible, both as a noble lady and as someone who had seen Drossel closely.

First of all, I couldn't believe the fact that Drossel, who wasn't supposed to have any magic, used magic. Plus, it's hard to believe that you have enough power and moves to throw a big man away.

Drossel did show genius talent for studying, manners and dancing, but being an aristocratic warrant lady, she has not learned anything about escort, nor has she ever heard of her mastery of body surgery.

"In addition, the maid seems to be getting along with the pedestrian these days, and the injured man earlier was also transported to the mansion with the pedestrian."

"... yes. Thank you for reporting, keep watching."

"Yes, sir."

Once thanked, the man in the cape leaves the room quietly.

Inside the room where he was alone, Saligna rocked a glass of wine as she intrigued the information brought to her by a secret detective.
