Since I was reincarnated as a poor farmer in another world, I decided to lay bricks and build a castle

What's your name again?

"It's Elizabeth. The Vandenburgs are countesses, but they're daughters. He was a good opponent at the Nobility House."

In a mansion in the capital of the Orient country, the conversation with Banage is over.

It was Theon who saw it and spoke to it.

One of the chiefs, who leads a mob of shadow assassins in the Thracian forest near the city state, has settled in my house for some reason.

I was curious to hear it, so I explained the fiancée.

A woman named Elizabeth, whom the House of Lords knew, was to marry me from the Vandenburg family.

Elizabeth is older than me, and now she's seventeen, isn't she?

It is normal for a man to be married or engaged at that age.

But, apparently, it's still a problem.

"Is there a reason for this?" If you're a countess, I think it's normal for the head of the family to decide who to marry from childhood as a political marriage. "

"I don't know. Lord Banaji didn't meet in person, but he doesn't seem to know why. However, it seems certain that he was in the territory without ever getting married. In the case of the Brillia Magic Kingdom, the nobility houses in the capital of the kingdom gather souls and daughter-in-laws from various aristocratic territories to encourage them to study and find a marriage partner. Maybe something happened after I left the noble house."

Shall we have a fortune?

Fortune telling? You don't know that, do you, Theon?

"Now, what do you think?" I don't know if you know why you're unmarried, but I can tell you if Alphonse's marriage is going to work. Do you want to try it? "

"That's right. Hmm. No, let's not. Even if there is a bad fortune, I can't break my engagement. Isn't there something I shouldn't know about the future?"

"Fufu. Maybe so." I have imitated you, please forgive me. "

As expected, we can't break the engagement we just decided as a result of divination.

Neither the banage nor the opposing Vandenburgs would be able to explain it satisfactorily.

If you do that, you will be resented.

But I'm sure you're curious.

I think Elizabeth was a popular girl at the time.

When I was talking to Elizabeth, I was greeted by an older boy named Cleman.

He seemed obsessed with Elizabeth, but what happened?

Even so, Elizabeth had a lot of magic power. If she had grown up like that, she would have been in a state of withdrawal.

I think there's a good reason that you're coming to me in the Orient.

No matter how many power iron plate ships were triggered, it is difficult to think of giving them to a daughter-in-law on their own.

Because the children of aristocrats with high magic power are an important treasure for the survival of the house and further prosperity.

If there is any reason, I can look it up.

"Why don't you write to Cecilie?"

When I remembered Elizabeth, I also thought of another girl student, Cecilie, who was often next to her.

Cecilie must have been the daughter of the same countess as Elizabeth.

And the age was one difference and we were good friends.

You may know something about Elizabeth.

Yes, I wrote to Cecilie for a long time.



"I see. That's what it is. You decided to marry me as usual."

"It's a letter from the Brillian Mystic Nation, isn't it?" Is it from Cecilie-sama I mentioned before? "

"That's right, Theon." After all, it looks like Cecilie and Elizabeth are still interacting. And I knew why Elizabeth wasn't married. I don't know about that, but it seems like I know that Elizabeth and I are going to be engaged, so I told you that. "

The letter I wrote to Cecilie came home as soon as I could.

When I received the letter, I immediately checked its contents.

This gave me a good idea of Elizabeth's current situation.

Elizabeth graduated from the Nobility House with excellent grades and seemed to have become even more popular as she grew older.

But I suppose you had a problem with that.

It is a physical matter, that is, it is a disease.

Apparently, he's got a serious illness.

The disease was a life-threatening disease, and there was no cure for it in the great nation of Brillia.

But the Vandenburgs don't give up easily either.

Seeing her daughter gradually weakened, she probably couldn't leave her alone.

After graduating from the Nobility House, Elizabeth returned to Vandenburg to receive medical treatment.

For that reason, he said that he had refused all marriages that were offered to the outside world at home.

However, even in such a healing life, Elizabeth's body could not be recovered.

“Are you sick? Could it be that the Vandenburgs came here and decided to use their short-lived daughters for their homes?”

"No, I don't think so." Rather, it's to cure my daughter's illness. "

To heal?

"Yeah. I can see that I've been getting a lot of names lately, too." Some of these [Miracle Child] can cure any injury. Besides, it seems that the story has been told that I have cured that incurable disease. "

"... could it be that Elizabeth-sama's illness is a heart condition?" Mr. Alphonse pointed out the viral nature of cosmetics in the country of Soma, is it an example of a disease? "

"Looks like. It looks like Elizabeth used to use cosmetics made in Soma for a long time. Perhaps it was the Vandenburgs who owned the land facing the sea, or maybe it was a flow of goods from the Somma kingdom. We banned the cosmetics because they were dangerous in the Orient, but it seems they weren't in the Brillian Mystic, so it seems that the countermeasures were delayed. In other words, it seems that we are still discussing whether there is a causal relationship between the disease and the cosmetics."

Marlon, Galius' daughter, also had a heart condition.

However, the symptoms do not appear immediately after using the cosmetics, but the curse is characterized by the effect of using the product for many years and for a long time.

For this reason, it is still an unknown disease in the Brillia magic country, and it is recognized as an incurable disease.

It seems that the Vandenburgs, who lived a healing life for many years, did the same.

However, by chance, after listening to me, learning about the power iron plate ship and gathering information to learn more, it seems that I have been cured of an incurable disease.

Besides that, I must have learned that [Recovery] is also called [Child of Miracles], which can also treat defects that can't be seen anywhere else.

So, from the other side, it's not just a political marriage, but also a story about saving my daughter's life.

But if we don't actually look, Cecilie's letter alone won't tell us if the curse of the Somma kingdom is really the cause.

Maybe we should see each other once.

At the same time as I sent Cecilie a thank-you letter, I decided to send out a letter stating that I couldn't even see Elizabeth.
