Rekan went out to collect the young buds of Ciarigi. This should be taken care of as soon as it is collected. Besides, there's not as much growing in one place. As a result, I was busy getting out of and back from voca and about fifteen days.
There was a little trouble after that.
The Temple of Kelles is calling Edda.
He said there had been numerous calls against the Goncourt family before, but Norma had refused because of Edda's absence and busy schedule. But now Eda has not received a request from the Adventurers Association and is known to be staying at the Goncourt family.
Let Norma say that if you're going to base this town on it, it's not a good idea to keep turning it down.
And anyway, if there's no back shield, he says the temple shouldn't do anything more unscrupulous than what the medicine saint left behind. Edda became too famous to be trapped.
"What does the Temple want me to do by calling Edda?
"Celebrating God Kelles and demonstrating Purification, Lekan."
"Hmm? What does that mean?
"Edda's visit to the Temple of Kelles in the town of Voca to worship the God of Kelles, known as the Healer of Medicine Holiness, means a lot to the Temple of Kelles in Voca. Against the people of the town and against the temples of other towns."
"Oh. Well, I don't know that."
"And the intent of [purification] is sifted at the Temple of Kelles. Publish it. This is groundbreaking. [Purification] will not take place in public except in special cases such as coronation blessings. The temple that holds Purification will keep it a secret. The Temple of Kelles in Voca can greatly enhance its authority with Eda's purification."
"I'm guessing Edda will belong to the Temple of Kelles in Voca"
"It's not what we know what kind of publicity Temple Kelles will give. Whatever publicity you give, you can't tie Edda to the temple. As long as you and I are around."
"What? Oh, well. So the temple knows you're the princess of the Wazlov family."
"There's quite a network of information in the temple, and I've been trying to keep information flowing from the Lords."
"I see. I guess you'll be paid"
"You mean the price of one large gold coin. You'd better not charge for that this time, but make it Edda's unserviced and devoted. That's what I owe you."
"Hmm? I don't know, but if you decide that's a good idea, that's fine"
"That's fine this time though. Think about the future and I have one suggestion for you"
"Ho."
"What about making Edda your fiancée"
"What?"
"Against the Temple of Kelles in the town of Voca, it is fully effective before the building that I, the princess of the Wazlov family and successor of the Goncourt family, am in close relationship with Eda and employed as an exclusive adventurer. It also works that you are the same party member as you. Because I know how horrible you are."
"Hmm."
"But that may not be enough for the temples and leading nobles of other towns. But being a fiancée is a strong deterrent."
"Is that what this is?
"Just because you belong to the same party is hard for others to tell you how much you care about Eda. Except for my fiancée. If you take Edda, it will be clear that you will turn the rough adventurer who stepped on the Tubolt against the enemy. The surroundings will be cautious. And find out about you. That way, you will find yourself a merciless person to the man who pissed you off, and a bearer of unstoppable combat power. We just have to give up pulling Edda in."
"I see. There's nothing different about me. I hope your engagement is dissolved."
"That's troublesome"
"I don't know, can I make two women my fiancées?
"If you become my husband, you can enter the Goncourt family and become a nobleman, and have multiple wives. But in my fiancée, it doesn't work that way."
"You can't."
"No, it's okay, Lecan. Anyway, you were royal in the original world."
"What?"
In the original world, Rekan was adopted by a king of a country. That's why I'm royal when it comes to my identity alone. I've told the lords of this town about it, but I don't remember telling Norma about it.
"I heard it from the lord. That one slipped my mouth because I naturally thought I knew about it. The rest was easy."
"So it works? There's no proof of that."
"No one can prove that's not true."
"Well, is that so? But is that supposed to make you think I'm the Fallen Man?
"You haven't tried to hide it lately, have you?"
"That's what you did when you said it. But there is a party in the temple that tries to crusade the Fallen as the devil."
"She is the fiancée of a woman who has become the Healer of Medicine Sacred. Probably fine."
"Whoa. That's a lot for you."
"The story of you being the Fallen Man is totally widespread in Tubolt. It's not something you can hide now. Then you'd better call it grand."
What Norma said seemed right. In any case, Norma is much smarter than Lecan. And Norma should have figured out the best way for Lecan. So Lecan decided to follow Norma's recommendation.
The next day, I offered Edda an engagement.
After Edda froze, she was glad to rise.
Edda's visit to the Temple of Kelles was made at the beginning of the sixth moon.
At the temple, I've said I want more time, but if I was grumpy, I'd be late for rendezvous with Julius, so Lecan wouldn't give in.
On the thirty-first day of the fifth month, at the Goncourt house, a feast was celebrated for the engagement of Lekan, Norma and Eda.
The decorated Edda was beautiful. Norma also shrugged off a breathtaking beauty.
Lecan also dressed himself in noble attire all this day.
Even though Eda was a common man in the lower echelons, for some reason she behaved with proper cooking for the main meal. It was like a nobleman.
"You, where did you get that trick?"
"Don't tell me. That kind of recan is amazing. Be grand. A little unusual manners, though. It's nice. Eh heh."
