Legend

"Phew, don't let Ray surprise you in the eye"

That's what I told her: a woman with golden hair as if the midsummer sun itself had turned into hair.

The woman scratches up that hair, which is rolled vertically, and smiles...... Elaine looks out at the sight she can see through the window of the room.

The woman who held back nearby opened her mouth like she was in trouble for such an Elaine appearance.

"Dear Elaine, why didn't you contact Lord Ray? That way, as soon as we got to Gilm, I think we could meet Lord Ray."

"Hmm, Ara also seems negligible in terms of the microscopy between men and women"

That's exactly what the woman was told...... Ara touches the Battleax carrying her hand and gives her a slightly obstinate look.

In fact, I understood that Ara was slightly neglected between men and women.

Originally Elaine was neglected by you, but now Elaine has an opponent named Ray.

In that sense, it's not strange that Ara also has someone she's about to decide on... No, in this Elgin, where many marry in her mid-teens, she wasn't at a strange age to be told she was late for a wife.

In particular, Ara is in the position of being near Elaine's side, but at the same time is also the three women of the Earl of Scarley family.

Nonetheless, instead of being married, there is not even a fiancée.

… but that doesn't mean that Ara is not popular.

Seen in terms of Ningro popularity, Ara was definitely not strange to be proposed by many nobles.

The Earl of Scarley family has quite a bit of influence among the aristocrats.

It is that the influence that even the same title holds is incomparable with that of the Count Lerduct family, which was recently attacked by Ray.

Nonetheless, Ara still has no such thing as a fiancée or lover, probably because she wants Ara to be with Elaine.

For Arla, who is intoxicated about Elaine, her love affair or... let alone marriage is somewhat uninteresting, but in the end it's only that much.

This may have changed the story somewhat if Arla was the only child or eldest daughter of the Earl of Scarley family.

Fortunately, Ara is three women.

Succeeding to the governor of the Earl of Scarley family means you don't have to think about it because you have a brother, and you don't have to worry about the kind of political marriage in the current Earl of Scarley family.

Ningro, it would be in the interest of the Count Scarley family to keep Arla on Elaine's side... for that reason, the interests of her father and daughter coincided and were in the present situation.

Most importantly, Ara is sometimes in charge of the rank of leader of the Knights of the Elaine Escorts, and there is no reason to go to her daughter-in-law so easily.

All in all, even though the biggest reason was that he was not interested in sex, it was an unmistakable fact that, for a variety of other reasons, Ara was marginally neglected between men and women.

"Nor has Elaine made any tangible progress with Lord Ray?

At least like a counterattack, Ara returns that word to Elaine.

That counterattack wasn't even fatal for Elaine... but it was definitely a huge damage.

In fact, although Ray and I don't do as we do every day, we talk in quite the opposite orb.

But in the end, all you can do with a pair of orbs is talk... and you can't touch your loved ones.

Especially around Ray, there are women like Marina and Vihera even if Elaine currently just knows.

The three of us are talking about marrying Ray... but there was no way I could really think that I was the only one who was away.

"... Isn't that why you came all the way to Gilm"

Tell him so, reach for the tea on the table, sip or two and enjoy...... eventually Elaine turns her gaze to the door of the room.

Arla, who understands more than enough what that means, switches the switch she has in her, from Arla as Elaine's childhood friend to Arla as head of the Knights of Elaine Escorts.

So after a dozen seconds...... the door is knocked and Elaine prompts you to go inside, Dusker shows up.

If normal, it would be impossible to detect so quickly that Dusker is coming.

But for Elaine, who inherited the demonic stones of the Enchanted Dragon and ranked higher than human beings, that's not as hard a story.

"Lord Elaine, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I would have liked to come a little sooner if I could... with all the sudden work."

You never seem to be good at paperwork, that was the kind of dusker you deserve to be judged a warrior or knight, but this is still someone you've been doing quite well as a lord of the guilds...... and a central figure in neutralism.

Ning Lo, Elaine also knew that what she seemed was never a good job of that kind.

Turning it into that dusker, it was getting tougher to do all the work now that the construction of the guild had begun in earnest.

Elaine also shakes her neck sideways saying she doesn't particularly care because she understands it.

"I also know Lord Dusker is busy. Ning Lo, I think it's bad enough that I came here this time of year."

"... No, as for this one, you're welcome. If Lord Elaine were in the Guild, there would be no one to imitate the face of the Duke of Keller in a silly way."

One incident with Count Lerduct's family led to this dispatch of Elaine.

Most importantly, Elaine ran from herself when she talked about sending someone to prevent other aristocrats from doing extra work, including, to be precise, an apology from the aristocrats about the Count Lerduct family.

That was quite a few other people who wanted to go to the Guild, but the momentum was so strong that all of them took the form of accommodating their demands as soon as they saw how Elaine was doing.

Of course Elaine ran for the Guild in such a forceful way to prevent the deterioration of relations between the aristocrats and the neutrals, which had recently been building a good relationship… but the greater reason would still lie with Ray.

Ray's relationship with Elaine is already close to an open secret, even among the aristocrats.

Many people have bitter feelings about it, but in the first place Elaine is a woman who has sleeved over a thousand suitors if she does poorly.

There was a thought amongst the nobles that trying to bring themselves, … or their brothers and sons closer to Elaine would never come true.

Of course, that's not why all the people admit to Elaine's relationship with Ray.

No, there will be a few among the Ning Lo aristocrats who recognize you.

"If you say so, this one will help. … this is a letter from your father"

That said, Elaine gives Dusker a letter in which the wax seal of the Duke of Kelp house was pressed.

Dusker, who receives it, opens the envelope and glances over the letter.

Stay put for a few minutes. Eventually, having finished reading the letter, Dusker opens his mouth to Elaine, uncommonly unable to hide his surprise expression.

"Um, I read the letter... are you sure? No, of course as Lords of the Guild I should be pleased..."

"Whatever. I came here hoping for it myself, so I have nothing to complain about"

To Dusker's words, Elaine nods back that there is no problem at all.

"In the first place, the reason we had problems like this one was because the aristocratic nobles in the Guild didn't do their jobs properly. If so, I don't think it would be strange for me to assume that role in order to do something about it?

"... like I said now, there's nothing to complain about over here. If you have a strange imitation under the watchful eye of General Princess, you can praise him."

At present, there are quite a few aristocratic handlers in the Guild.

Most of them are relatives or subordinates of the Lord.

Beyond that, even if there are no problems with gathering information, it is difficult to prevent the actions of those who have actually eloped….

With that in mind, having Elaine with the alias of General Princess is just as powerful as no more as a deterrent.

"Well, that's what I'm talking about"

"... ok. Nice to meet you. So, what about a place to stay? I'd like to get you a room at the wheat pavilion at dusk if I could, but that's also difficult in the present situation. If you don't mind, will you stay here? Fortunately, there's plenty of room."

Around the first time I tell Dusker that it's impossible to take the wheat pavilion room at dusk, he also has a firm understanding of Elaine's biggest purpose in coming to Gilm.

"Hmm... right. Is it easier to understand that you are cooperating with the neutrals than to have them stay in noble noble mansions?... Ara, what do you think?

"I don't think there's a problem. I was just wondering if there would be a lot of inconvenience for Master Dusker if they knew Elaine was staying here."

Dusker also understood what Ara was worried about when she told him that.

But Dusker shakes his neck sideways saying there's nothing wrong with Ara like that.

"There's a lot of merchants and all that stuff coming together in the current situation. It doesn't make any particular difference if nobles come together there. No, it might be easier to deal with a nobleman than with a Ninglo merchant."

It was a dusker to joke and tell, but the words were half serious.

In the first place, we have already spoken to the absolutely necessary merchants, and the merchants who are now coming are those who have been played to the upper levels of the Guild, including Dusker.

More than that, it's not absolutely necessary… Still, Dusker is meeting with the merchants because of the expectation that Dusker and the others might not know yet and then find a competent merchant, or that he might not have any thoughts…

It is still easier to deal with a nobleman than with such an opponent.

Honestly, that's what Dusker thinks.

"So, Lord Elaine. Quickly...... unfortunately, I don't have the kind of errands to ask Lord Elaine for today. So, what do you think? I've come to the Gilm around the corner, so let's take a look around. Especially... right, the place I'm currently trying to build a wall looks promising"

"... where to build walls?

I don't see why that would be recommended, and Elaine tilts her neck.

Next to Elaine like that, Arla was also leaning her neck strangely again.

"Well, why on the wall?

To Ara's strange words, but Dusker doesn't look like he's going to answer just with a grin on his mouth.

"Hmm, apparently if you go you'll see... Ara, let's go. Lord Dusker, I don't know what you're up to, but let's have some fun."

"Oh, have a good time"

When she exchanges those words, Elaine rises from the couch where she was sitting.

Essentially, Elaine and Dusker are compatible because they recognize themselves more as those who stand on the battlefield than as knights and warriors.

(With all these guys, it's easy for me to do a lot of things, too)

Elaine sighs small as she remembers the person she's going to tell herself, the person she's going to rub against, those faces.

Still, I'm in the Guild now. When I change my mood, I say hello to Dusker and leave the room with Arla.

"Do you want to travel by carriage?

"No, because our carriage stands out with all sorts of things. Besides, it's been a long time since I've been a guild, so I'd like to walk."

Whatever the contents, the carriage Elaine uses is, at first glance, a substitute not so different from a regular carriage.

But if you look at anyone with any eyes to see, you'll soon understand that it's not a regular carriage, and most importantly, the horse pulling the carriage is a specially raised horse.

And in front of the Lords' Hall are the merchants.

That would definitely have been a hassle.

Did Ara also understand that in Elaine's words, especially when she asks the maid not to speak out and leaves the back door, not from the surface.

Unless you're traveling by carriage, it's not a hard story to get out of the back door to keep it out of sight.

Most of all, the sun itself deserves the kind of golden hair that has changed its shape, the word "extinct" … or even not enough beauty, a body that curves very seductively as a woman, and Elaine was very noticeable just walking normally.

Still, with a grin at the impact of marinas, vihellas, and many other beauties, or the lack of gaze that could be directed at them, Elaine was moving towards those who were building new walls.
