"Come on, sister"
It would have been half an hour since I left the Isolte mansion.
The carriage slowly stopped.
Lichten pulls my hand softly and urges me outside.
I was slightly thrilled.
This is a land where I have been allowed to represent my lord for less than two years now.
Although I had heard detailed reports from Lichten and his servants, it was the first time I had come down and come into contact with the people of Isolte.
Are the people of Izorte fulfilled and really able to live with laughter...
Yet I should know them, touch them, and have conversation.
When I was in Wang capital, I found time and went to inspect the territory.
Of course, it's not all fun, and sometimes it gets bounced off.
That was the norm, and I still didn't want to stop.
That's because I was used to dealing with others.
And I was particularly used to malice. It was a world I couldn't live without getting used to.
Can I have an affair with others now?
My fingertips tremble slightly.
"Sister, I'm here."
Right? I laughed. I smile back at Liechten and get out of the carriage.
See the people watching the carriage at the Duke of Rufus' house farther afield.
People pass the street with a glimmer of reflection.
Nice smell of a bakery for a sale that shouts out loud and offers a discount.
Fuzzy Madame sprinkles water all over the house.
Many times I turn around and look past Lichten and Master Elle, little children running to the square.
Isolte was cautiously and vibrant.
A small city on the northern edge of Nate Feel with long winters and harsh cold weather.
There are few specialties and tourist destinations, and there is no reason to jump out and be not poor but rich.
That was the reputation of the land exclusively.
"Sister, it's not like Isolte was anything worse until two years ago, but she hasn't been this vibrant."
"Yeah... that's what I heard"
But people's lives look so bright.
"Well! Master Altenrich, you're back.
Oh? Could it be... that's more of an example?
"Yes, Madame Teresa, she is."
"Of course he was a fine man to the former lord, but it's been a much nicer city since he took your place.
Thank you so much.
Thanks to you, we are still able to afford it this time of year. "
A gentle-eyed woman dressed in a bright light purple dress grabbed my hand and smiled.
"Yes, no, I haven't..."
Madame Teresa smiles again at me, whose voice just leaks out of the blue.
My chest gets hot.
I managed to swallow something that was going to stick up and make a smile.
This is the most nervous time now seen by all the inhabitants than when Elle came, than when there was a noise of betrothal breaking, than when it was known to your father.
It feels as though it was different from the inspection of the territory when I was in the Wang capital.
"Master Altenrich!
"Dear Altenrich ~!
As if I had signaled that I had smiled, the children gathered around Lichten, close by.
Uplift your cheeks and I'll call you Lichten's name. I'm sincerely proud of Lichten when I see them.
He seems so loved and regarded by the inhabitants.
Master Elle is smiling as he is seen far-flung.
Maybe you're rumoring about him.
Occasionally I hear a word like prince.
Because it would not have arrived in this land yet, such as that Elle is no longer royal.
He seems subtly uncomfortable.
"Master Altenrich, is this the sister of your clothes?
"Hmm? Oh... that's right.
"Sister, clothes, thank you!
"Thanks a lot for the nice embroidery and the embroidery drawings"
Soon a little girl from her little one to her late teens surrounded me at a little distance.
One voice after another raised my eyes, wanting to teach me embroidery, wanting to learn more about how to make clothes, etc.
Tracy taught me to make embroidery when I had time.
I sometimes ask my servants to take handkerchiefs, accessories, simple pieces, etc. to the city.
I would have sold it to a merchant or given it away if anyone wanted it in the territory, but these days I also tried to give them the models and drawings so that even the residents could make them.
I never thought it would be such a pleasure to meet someone who would actually receive it and hear their voice.
I want to do more to benefit those in this territory.
I want to help make it a nicer city, I sincerely think so.
I'm so glad you came here.
"We're happier than the lord thought."
"No, I'm sorry I haven't even shown my face before.
If you need anything, don't hesitate to say anything. "
Lord... well, I smile back at my grandfather with the thought that I would be a lord to them.
I could have stepped out much slower on my own.
I may not have had a chance to touch people who have become more timid than I used to.
Dear Elle, thank you so much for bringing Lichten here.
