Healing Witch

Yuf is a beautiful town.

Surrounded by soaring mountains and embraced by forests and lakes, this city may be called Separate Lands.

The labyrinth of Mount Yufu, which stands idly in the midst of the castle towns, is engulfed in ice and snow, and for this reason Yufu is so far south, yet its climate is cool.

With twelve towers and four palaces, Yuf Castle is home to more than 20,000 people in the huge castle city of Euphonia. The three districts, which extend into its fertile basin to the north, are inhabited by more than 800,000 inhabitants altogether, with a total population close to one million if the nine villages dotted around them are combined.

Under Kingdom law, a single lord can only occupy one city, and the whole of Yuf territory is considered a single city before it is built. It may be referred to as special treatment.

The Yuf Marquis Shadrest family has three Viscounts. Each of the three Viscounts has less financial power than the other Counts, but the three are subordinate to the Shadrests without independence as Counts or Marquises. This is also a special treatment from other territories.

In addition, in other territories there is a duty to march well according to the title, but not in the Shadrest family.

In other words, Yuf, although in Marquis territory within the Kingdom of Zaka, is essentially close to independent territory. Naturally, there are special circumstances to its formation.

Once upon a time there was a holy kingdom of Yuf here. Euphonia was its capital, and the three districts were cities. Nine villages are also close to the city. Neither the times when the kingdom of Wapud was flourishing in the centre of the continent, nor the days of the ensuing war of hordes, did the divine kingdom of Yuf ever threaten its peace.

One day, a young man who later became the founding king of the Kingdom of Zaka visited the Holy Kingdom of Yuf. By covenant made at this time, the holy kingdom of Yuf lends its soldiers to the war of founding the kingdom of Zaka.

When the young man left Yuf, one girl ran away from the sacred kingdom of Yuf admiring the young man.

The girl's name was Orier, and she was the "Soothing Witch" of the temple of Lycores, the sacred kingdom of Yuf.

The Holy Kingdom of Yuf is a country that has festived the Lycolles God and flourished by the grace of the Lycolles God. A long time ago, not yet known before the establishment of the Holy Kingdom of Yuf, the "Witch of Prophecy" appeared in the Temple, bringing the prophecy and blessings of the Lycolles God. And The Witch of Prophecy left behind a prophecy that "the country will flourish as long as we continue to honor the Blessed Witch of the Lycolles God".

After the fall of The Witch of Prophecy, one of the Witches of the Temple expressed Purification. The temple chief considered the witch to be a prophetic witch, and called it a "healing witch" to cherish it. The "Witch of Healing" carried out the "Blessing of Abundance" every year, and the country flourished and prospered. Then, just before the "Healing Witch" reached its lifespan, the next witch continued to appear.

When the contemporary "Healing Witch" was old and the young Orier expressed "Purification", the Temple Chief and the King learned that a new "Healing Witch" had appeared. But in the early days of expression, even the surgeon himself did not realize that, and Orier abandoned the country without knowing he was a "healing witch".

The king and the temple chief did not take matters too seriously. I thought Purification would soon be revealed to another witch.

But the next witch did not appear, and a few years later, when the old contemporary witch died, the Holy Kingdom of Yuf was filled with famine. The impotence lasted for years, the plague began, and the country was devastated.

The temple chief prayed to God by fasting for his life. And at death, he said, "Peace and prosperity are under the new kingdom. Protect the Witch's Blood Muscle".

I could only assume that "new kingdom" referred to the kingdom of Zaka. The king of the sacred kingdom of Yuf gave up his throne and bowed to King Zaka.

In other words, at the time of the founding of the Kingdom of Zaka, the Holy Kingdom of Yuf was an independent and rich country, which owed no loan to the Founding King and had no reason whatsoever to subordinate. That is why the omission has suddenly offered subordination only for a few years. Naturally, I had to make it special.

At this time, kingdom law had already been established in the kingdom of Zaka, and according to its provisions, Yuf had no choice but to divide it or make it baron territory. The Baron Territory is, so to speak, an autonomous territory, and as long as it can contain more than one city, it has no obligation to make morning donations and has no right to seek the assistance of the Kingdom in times of crisis.

Naturally, Yuf refused to split.

But as for the kingdom of Zaka, I wanted to take Yuf in. The goods that should have been obtained from Yuf, including Divine Medicine, were fascinating, and, above all, the fact that Yuf followed them enhances the authority of King Zaka immensely. So it was made Marquis territory by the convenience law of considering the whole Yuf as a single city. It is the birth of the Yuf Marquis Shadrest family.

And the famine and the plague came to an end, and abundance came.

Orier was not already a man of the world these days. Orier, whose body was not originally strong, lost his life in exchange for having a daughter. Leave behind a guardian stone with prayers during death.

The presence of this daughter was kept secret. Maybe Yuf worried about taking it back. Her daughter was named Zana and grew up to express "purification". Princess Zana hid her identity and supported the work of quieting the chaos immediately after the founding of the country from behind.

After all, the guardian stone left by Orier was a great help to the Founding King, but when Princess Zana got married, the Founding King let her have the guardian stone. The Founding King thought this guardian stone was originally meant to protect Princess Zana. Neither did Yuf grasp the guardian stone, nor did the vicinity of the founding king know its origin or its meaning.

Well, in Yuf, we've uncovered Princess Zana's existence. And I thought that the term "witch's blood muscle" referred to the descendants of Princess Zana's female lineage. Because a man cannot be a witch.

There were also moves to welcome Princess Zana and her daughter to Yuf, but in the end Yuf continued to mock Princess Zana's female descendants. The descendants gradually ceased to express [purification] and [recovery], but Yuf's prosperity did not shade. Sometimes the number of female descendants exceeded fifteen, but it began to decline at some point and finally became one of the last. It is Princess Rubianafel.

Zaid Mall territory is a despicable land. It was difficult to understand how Princess Rubianafel was spending her time. However, Princess Rubianafel is worried about the fact that her body is not necessarily sturdy, but the lord Zanzifrog seems to be firmly chopping up territory, and the Zaid Mall family air is said to be soft and warm. There are no signs of disturbance around.

Among other things, Zanzifrog, the father of Princess Rubianafel, sent a letter to Parcgrain Shadrest, Marquis of Yuf.

"My daughter, Rubianafel, is a brilliant and sober daughter of thirteen years of age, but when she was five, she expressed her recovery. We have been on edge with a number of aristocrats these days, but we want to make our lives as peaceful and happy as possible. There's nothing wrong with you, Marquis, but if you want to help me, it's up to you to lay low."

Now is the time to welcome the witch's blood muscles to Yuf again, Parc Grain and the Temple Chief thought. Thus it was decided to welcome Princess Rubianafel to the queen of the next Marquis Acid Grain.

When Princess Rubianafel celebrated her fourteenth birthday, a messenger was sent by Yuf to the Zaid Mall, and the engagement became official.

Immediately after that, an assassin attacked Princess Rubianafel. An adventurer who happened to be staying at the Zaid Mall family defeated the assassin, but set the day and the next assassin appeared. Parcgrain, who was informed of this by Zanzifrog, immediately conducted an investigation. Acid Grain had four fiancées, but it turns out that one of these families wanted to make their daughter their rightful queen and let go of the assassin. Parcgrain reprimanded the owner of the house. The assassin stopped perfectly with four degrees.

In Yuf these days, the "witch of healing" thing has become an old legend, and only a very few heavy towns knew about the shrine. Well, the secret that Princess Rubianafel was descended from the "Witch of Healing" was only known by a few, including the Lords and the Temple Chief.

Therefore, the "Sacred Healing Ritual" was carried out according to the legend of the "Witch of Healing". In the midst of the heavy towns, it is the ritual of "healing" our Lord Parc Grain. By this ritual, Rubianafel proved that he was blessed with the blessing of "recovery" and was approved as the next Lord's righteous queen.

And on the fifth day of the month of the second year of the kingdom calendar 116, the wedding was performed, and Rubianafel was given a room on the south side of the fifth floor of the north tower, and became the Lord of the North God. Northern God refers to the goddess Lycores. of the mountains, of the earth, of the forest, of medicine, and patron saint of Yuf. The room on the south side of the fifth floor of the north tower is in a position to grate the White Phoenix Palace, where the Lords conduct their affairs, and those who live in this room, that is, protect the affairs of the nation.

Incidentally, Lycores was originally the God of Yuf and incorporated into the Hieralky of the Gods of the Kingdom of Zaka, the Nine Great Temples were established. In the king's capital of the kingdom of Zaka there is the Temple of Lycores General Temple, and throughout the kingdom there are eighteen temples of Lycores, but the temple of Lycores in Yuf is entirely different from these in organization and doctrine.

Now, the head of the temple, who had seized the ritual, drenched Princess Rubianafel's "recovery" with "purification". The temple director coached Princess Rubianafel and eventually certified her as a "healing witch", waiting for Princess Rubianafel to be able to activate the Purification freely. It refers to the tenth day of the month of the sixth year of the Kingdom Calendar 116.

This year, for the first time in a hundred years, the "Blessing of Abundance" took place in its complete form.

In those places, crops became more abundant than they had ever experienced, and grace far exceeded normal years was harvested from the woods, and there were many hunting preys.

Acidgrain and Princess Rubianafel were attracted to each other and became a friendly couple. He is at times eighteen years old Acid Grain and fourteen years old Princess Rubianafel.

Acid Grain serves the White Phoenix Palace once a day, and sometimes stays at the White Phoenix Palace when there is a meeting, but lives in the north tower and usually spends most of his time in the north tower. And then the men come, and Acid Grain works out the measures in the north tower.

The north tower is put under the control of Princess Rubianafel, both for meals, for scheduling and for servants.

Acid Grain was given the important role of managing the products of the labyrinth on the occasion of marriage. I plan with my young neighbors, but they seem to see holes everywhere from the skilled ministers, and they are demanding a rigorous rework every day.

In the kingdom of Zaka, he plotted to take in Yuf in many ways. Marital policy is one of them.

The royal family emphasizes its proximity to the Shadrest family.

Indeed, the Shadrest family receives the queen from the royal family and sends the queen to the royal family. However, the princess and the next princess did not marry the royal princess, but the brother of the princess and the brother of the next princess, and the sisters of the next princess have not let the royal wife. Yuf keeps a certain distance from the royal family.

Recently, there was a move to have Eltoria, the king's eldest princess, daughter-in-law under Acid Grain, but with Princess Rubianafel becoming the righteous queen, the move also stopped.

Since "Purification" was activated, Princess Rubianafel has frequently applied "Purification" to Parc Grain, Acid Grain and the vicinity, and the samurai.

Under the guidance of the Temple Chief, Princess Rubianafel's "Purification" reached the highest rank.

The Kingdom calendar year 117 was a richer year than the previous year.

And Yuf was filled with joy from the top to the bottom, and Rubianafel, who made him the "Lord of the North God", confirmed his place.
