Kakon, make a little creepy noise and the firewood cracks.Raise the next firewood quickly and shake down the axe again.The first time you swallow the axe, the second time you shake it straight down, the kakon and the firewood break in two.

Simple, but somehow not tired of this work, I quite like it.

But speaking of which, this may be the first time I've been paid in King's Landing.

Three days after Claudia's visit, she recovered completely.

I wish I had recovered, but since then there has been a clear decline in the number of jobs that have been taken from the Territory.

I didn't know what to do with the spare time, but I went out to the garden and there was firewood and a hand axe, so I kind of broke it unconsciously.

In the realm, I used to pay for my free time, but the days of King's Landing were dazzling.Because we have to do both what we have to do here and what we have to do in the territory.

Nevertheless, the work in the territory has settled down for the time being.

Needless to say, it was Claudia.

Apparently, the villagers of Ilju, who had been asked to work several times, were secretly brought into the territory.

If you have the manpower and can properly assign the work to that manpower, you can distribute Oscar's work.In other words, Oscar can do the work I was doing.

Oscar's workload hasn't changed, but neither he nor his wife seems dissatisfied, so let's leave him alone.

Well, anyway.

I mean, I'm no longer busy, and I can't escape that event.

I hardly remember the details of the game anymore.

However, as a child of a nobleman who attends the House of Lords and as the principal, I naturally know what kind of event it is.

The witch daughter of Shanak.

At the Coming Festival, he was encountered as the queen of the Missouri gods, performing dances and songs in front of the executives of the country, including His Majesty the King, and playing the role of crowning the prince.

On the day of the celebration of the arrival of the Son Kusha Fema in the world, Shanak, who is said to have given birth to it, is treated as the most important being, and the selection of the witch daughter is also accompanied by a corresponding scale.

The appointees change from year to year, but if the queen and the palace chief of Shanak shrine become the top appointees and pick out the witch daughter, the specificity is also remarkable.

After all, the witch daughter who was elected as the representative of the Academy where the noble daughters from all over the country gather, in other words, will gain the treatment as the representative of the women in charge of the next generation of the country.

Specifically, they will be treated as Jews of the Queen and the Temple of Shanak.

Since it will be a contest between the second and third graders, it is the fact that the third graders will win and graduate with the right to enroll in the advanced learning institute, adopt with a powerful aristocratic family, or socialize.

The entries themselves will be nominated by the Academy for 10 students in each academic year, taking into account family status and grades.

Emilia's nomination... must be based on the top movements.

The final treatment of her is hard to understand now.The idea of "Miyanaka" was beyond the scope of understanding, focusing on Albert's deportation and Alfred's case of Tachidao.

In other words, I don't have any information to understand it.

Of course, I don't want to know the secrets of the National Center.We are already in obvious trouble (Emilia's escort).It was true that I wanted to avoid any further trouble.

After graduating from the Academy, I want to focus on developing my territory.

I didn't like being caught up in Royal Palace circumstances and getting away from the land of Cardia.

My life is for redemption to the people of Caldia.

I intend to martyrdom Count Telesia's teaching that it is a national gear, but I don't want to be replaced by anything else.

"Eliza-sama, it's time to get ready to go."

"Oh, Reka, that's right."

I finally lowered my ax, nodding to Reka, whose face had slipped out.The firewood was divided by a sufficient number.Clean up your surroundings quickly with Reka, wipe your sweaty body, change into the outdoor clothing Ratka provided, and tone your hair.

That Falis officer went out of his way to ask the Count of Telesia.I can't help but ask.

That's why I decided to move my sick body very quickly.

The Earl's Mansion is not visited so often.

However, I noticed that the number of people in the mansion was decreasing slightly each time I visited.

"Nice to meet you. Quickly, I resigned from the royal palace.I intend to organize the property accordingly, but there are some parts that Oscar would like to inherit. Is everything all right? "

The Count of Telesia greeted me in my bedclothes, piling up materials on a custom desk over the bedside.

Too shocked, I forgot to say hello.The Count of Telesia tried to start the conversation by blowing up greetings in the first place, but something like that disappeared from his head anyway.

No matter how easy it has been until now, the Count, who was well dressed, is clearly not meant to meet people.

No way. Not that much anymore?

"Eliza?"

After finally returning to me with the astonishing voice of the Count, I was still unable to hide my confusion.The last time I visited him, it was an unimaginable change.

"Count Telesia... I didn't hear that you weren't so good..."

"Of course not. I don't even know that."

"... yes?"

"I officially left my job and hid.You don't have to worry about dressing up at the earliest to come to this mansion, so you can dress up as comfortably as you like. "

The Count of Telesia, who scrambles with such information, is a perfectly comfortable old man.

Does resignation change the atmosphere so far?The tension he had left somewhere before ─ ─ is not good enough to say at all.

To put it badly, I'm out of my mind... no, I wouldn't dare say badly.

I've never seen a Count in complete relaxation.

"... I admire your many years of service.Whatever it is, congratulations on your remarkable retirement. "

The Count finally recovered from the shock and squeezed out the stereotyped compliments, which had no sense, and snorted his nose as if stunned.I'm sorry I'm a shameful ward.

"So, was it about inheritance?"

Returning to the main story, the Count of Telesia nods.

"I was going to do about half of it.I'm going to give the other half to the main house. "

"Okay, let's send Oscar over soon."

"Come on, and... you're getting caught up in something disturbing again, aren't you?"

I raised my shoulders to the Count, who had no choice.Merchior was completely unexpected to me and inevitable.

I'm sorry for letting Father Faris work for him.

"As far as I'm concerned, the choice of the witch daughter of Shanak is my immediate concern."

After a brief explanation of the Merchior affair, the Count of Telesia nodded honestly.

"There's a limit to being alone."

"Exactly. I am not in the class of the lady who is the basis of witch daughter selection."

This was a big problem.

─ ─ In other words, I do not know the contents of the witch daughter selection task at all ─ ─ I have no countermeasures in place for the selection of Emilia's witch daughter, who will be nominated almost certainly.

The countess, who omitted most of my ladies' education, instantly returned to the mask of the great guardian with an incredible sinister face and nodded "I will cooperate as much as I can".
