I Shall Survive Using Potions!
142 To the capital 1
We have arrived, the Earl of Maslius house, the capital mansion.
Earl Maslius, who had earlier given me roots to the various parts for Marial, welcomed me, and we all went inside the mansion.
Because the first person to touch was ahead, a proper hot tub was prepared, and Marial was taken straight to the bathroom.
The Count's servant tried to take care of the hot tub, but Marial disagreed greatly with this. In the end, Marial's entourage was supposed to serve.
... Yeah, it's about me, Belle, and Layette.
Marial, who thought that we could not bathe in the water when the people of the Count's mansion looked after us as such, distracted us.
Well, there's no nobleman to let a servant use a bath for guests (Hinchaku)...
Marial couldn't really see that she was the only one bathing in the water and we... or that I just used a towel to wipe my body with the water in the sink.
... right.
Even though I play how much of a mainstay and Marial is cutting me off pretty well, there's no way Marial, who thinks she's a goddess about me, can put up with that. The Lord obedience is also doing it because I said it was' necessary and divine ', and that is why it is a genuine act.
So, under the pretext of letting us take care of him, he planned to be able to take a bath together.... Belle and Layette gave it to the zero (spill).
Honestly, thank you. So I happily decided to receive Marial's generosity.
... "bathe in the water with the goddess. Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Fransette, being a knight of escorts, is a little impossible to bathe in the water with. Sorry, but let me hub you this time. Nothing, no offense, I don't have a choice, yeah.
... I don't want to talk about bathing.
Marial and I will never bathe together again.
After a hot bath, an operational meeting with the Earl of Maslius.
The members are: the Count, two of the Count's men, Marial, me, Belle, and Layette.
Bell is just stuck as my escort, Layette just stays with me because she can't be left alone, virtually irrelevant.
The Count looked surprised that the three of us were present.
Naturally. Give up a hundred steps, even if I'm a samurai (ladies maid), I wouldn't know what it means to have a babysitter (nurse) maid Belle, and a babysitter maid Layette present. There is little point in removing Francette, Roland and Emile because it is unnatural for escorts to be present at operational meetings.
I can't help but take those three off because I'm also allergic to the large number of people on this side.
"... hmm? The person…"
So, Count, have you noticed me?
"Oh, yes, Mari...... I've seen you at the Viscount Raifel's house"
Yabe, I almost said 'at Marial's'!
But all the servants of the Viscount Raifel family would have no problem with Marial because sometimes they didn't just call her 'Lady', but 'Lady Marial', 'Lady Marial' and so on. He would think that I was about to call him as usual, and he realized he was in the other house and said it again in a hurry.
"After that, I paid attention to the excellent wisdom of this child and hired her as a samurai (ladies maid). It's helped me a lot."
That's what Marial said and followed me, and the Count apparently convinced me.
"Hmm, I don't know what you said, sure, I guess..."
"He who searches for the truth and scouts." Detective. "
The truth is, it's always one thing now!
And then the operational meeting began.
Thanks to the fact that the Count realized about me and Marial followed me well, I was not just an ordinary maid of honor (ladies maid) to take care of Marial around me, but was also perceived as something of a Marial staff officer, so as an implicit understanding, I was also granted the right to speak to the content of the meeting…,. Atmospherically, somehow.
All right, that was unexpected luck!
And the content of the meeting is…….
According to the Earl's story, "The Head of the Faction" who called Marial to the King's Capital has completely risen.
One discreet, medium-sized faction today in the political and financial sphere of this country, with royalty with the king as its substantial top, merchants with commercial guilds in the back, religions taken into the temple and various other factions. That was the faction to which the Earl of Maslius, or Viscount Raifel, belonged.
It is difficult because the chief of his faction hath given out from the aristocratic house of his subordinates, 'the blessing of the goddess, and the love of the son'. With this as a stepping stone, he stretched his power to the largest faction, and his nose seemed rough....... ahhh.
That's why they're up to a lot of things to tailor Marial to an ad tower to grow their power..., no, no, no, they're 'planning' it.
That would make it much more appealing to the 'goddess lover' who actually performed the miracle and showed it to him than to the royal family, who is not an ordinary person whose miracle does not make him or whose goddess has connections, or the religious family, who is an ordinary person who has not even been entrusted with the goddess, just to say that he is a descendant of one who happens to be king a long time ago. To the nobles, to the temples, to the merchants and to the general public...
Yeah, well, I'll take it up with the gods.
"The Marquis Celidraq, the head of the faction, intends to take Marial around the temple and the merchants and take him into his faction, regardless of his area of work. Including, of course, lower and intermediate aristocrats who interact directly with them..."
It's a natural way of attacking you, as for the behavior of "The One Who Got Powerful Weapons Without a Distraction".
"And of course, other factions are trying to take Marial into their own faction. With that hand.
In some cases, they're going to take in every single one of them, haha... "
That's what I said, Count laughing powerlessly.
Perhaps the other factions also believe that the relationship between the Earls of Masurius and the Viscount of Raifel is only a political and powerful upward and downward relationship: the foster parents, and Marial, who has just replaced them, has little heartfelt loyalty to the Counts of Masurius, the foster parents.
Yes, no, I guess you don't even think about being adored since you were a child, having strong trust and loyalty from the start, etc.
And I cannot say anything about the proposal to hold every Count family unless I know the profound circumstances, such as what position the Count occupies within the faction today and under what circumstances he has become part of that faction.
... It just seemed unlikely from the earlier, powerless laughter of the Count that the Count would change his faction.
"And not just each faction of the aristocracy, but the royal palaces and temples are trying to take Marial directly into their own hands, and the merchants are desperate to make direct contact with Marial's name in order to use it for business.
When Marial meets the head of the faction, the Marquis Celidraque, he will be present as a foster parent and as a guardian, but not later, when the Marquis will take Marial everywhere. Don't take strange promises or promises at that time... "
"We're here to support you, right?
"Um, I asked for it. And especially when it comes to friendships, financial aid for running territories, being a witch, attending royal palace parties, and friendships, never get on."
That's what I'm saying, Count.
... But I said 'fringe' twice, why?
I told you twice because it's important, is that it?
