It was in the merchant's life that Riesch first visited Coyol.
There is also a short summer in Coyol. It was such a season, and it was a thunderstorm evening. Tally and Riesch arrived at Coyol Castle, which stands on the shore of the lake, in distress in the middle of the day.
The raincoat was useless, and it was dusty enough to give up.
After being passed through the back door, the maid who welcomed me gave me a towel and finally took a breath.
Hahahahaha!! It was said to rain heavily, but it was more dusty than I imagined. "
Her boss, Tally, laughed and scratched her wet forehair.
"Leesher, I told you not to follow me. I made the decision not to delay the meeting. I wish you'd stayed at the inn with the others."
More than that, Chairman Tully!
Riesch talks to Tally with excitement as she wipes her hair.
If it rains so much in summer, wouldn't it sell a rain jacket? Thinner, lighter, brighter and cooler than snow!
That's a good idea, but don't you care what you do? My hair and dress are very well prepared and I think it's a mess to protect the product. "
"Because if you wipe it, it'll dry up."
Hahaha!!
Tally laughs for a second and then looks at Riesch.
Well, the rush came to me a lot. This kind of sexually motivated guy is favored by the customers here. "
Are you good at it?
Is that a servant of this castle?
"... in any case, it would be rude to stay in this castle in this outfit. Delivery was made on time, and hey Touma...."
Tally raised the edge of her mouth as she approached Riesch.
"Long time no see, Your Highness."
All of a sudden, Tally greeted the gentleman like that.
Liesche also moved aggressively, pulling the hem of the dress and lowering her head.
("Your Highness," perhaps....)
A stubborn sound of shoes stopped in front of Riesch and the others.
Long time no see, Tally. I'm sorry for rushing you in the rough weather. "
"I'm so happy to see you like this. Nevertheless, if you'll excuse me in an ugly way."
It was the Father King who asked me to do it as soon as possible. Let's get you changed and hot water ready right away. Who's this woman?
My men are called Vertzner.
Well then, I have to say hello.
It's a loud voice.
I wonder if the royal family came here. I went all the way to the back entrance to greet a merchant.
─ I'll see you at first. My name is Liesche Ilmgard Vertzner. "
Liesche takes her name with her head down. Shizukuzuku fell out of my hair and wet the floor.
"Kyle Morgan Clevery. Your visit is most cordially welcomed."
Shortly after that, I was surprised.
Or Kyle!?
Kyle knelt to Riesch.
The prince of one kingdom bent his knees on the apprentice merchant without hesitation.
Perhaps this is the culture of "Coyol men respect women."
That's what I thought for a moment, and Riesch quickly finds out what he meant.
In the rain, the road would have been difficult while protecting the horses and carriages. Not to mention, he came on a boat trip, risking his life. This country is scarce in supplies, supported by merchants like you, who are able to protect the lives of their people. "
The prince with light blue eyes looked Riesch in the eye and said.
"--I will give you merchants my respect and gratitude."
This is the first encounter.
Kyle was a royal, yet respectful, opponent of various positions.
The servants, the knights who protect Kyle. For the people of my country, for the elderly, for children much younger than myself.
Are you Hackley's apprentice? I heard in her letter that she is a promising pharmacist in the future. "
In the pharmacist's life, he pushed his sick body to the harbor to pick me up.
"I never imagined that Michelle would take a teacher. I'm sorry for your trouble, but I'm glad you're here as an excellent alchemist. Will you lend us some of your wisdom?"
Even in the alchemist's life, he didn't want to throw aside the suspicious scholarship as the general public, but listened to what Richie and Michelle wanted to do.
Lie on your knees, listen with the same eyes, and try to get close to the other person.
Kyle never behaved arrogantly, but tried to live up to his royal responsibilities.
The longest time I've spent with Kyle is probably my life as an alchemist.
Richelieu met Michelle, became his godson, and then went with him to Coyol.
And Kyle, who was in charge of academic public affairs, decided to do a lot of research. For that reason, such events were common.
"Michelle, as I told you the other day, you failed to clean the room again."
When Kyle scolds Riesch and the others, he is also like a guardian.
On that day, Kyle sat Michelle, who was supposed to be much older than herself, on the sofa, and she stood in front of her.
There are complaints from other scholars. You came back in full bloodshed, and you were terrified to be locked up in the lab. What kind of research was he doing now that he had defiled the lab carpet? "
Michelle, who lowered her eyebrows in trouble, asked Riesch, who was sitting next to her.
I don't know what to do, Richie, I don't remember. Did something like that happen the other day?
Sensei, it was then. She said she helped with the cattle and got a specimen instead. "
"Ahh, that's it!
Looking down at Michelle, Kyle had a difficult face.
"... that's not all. You've been sleeping in the lab and haven't returned to your private room. It seems that the eggs are rotting and giving off a bad smell because they leave untouched meals in the room."
Ahahah. The weather has been nice lately.
Sorry, Prince Kyle......
Instead of Michelle, who embraces nature, her teacher, Richie, lowered her head.
I will be very careful in the future. We will refrain from immersing ourselves in the research in a dirty manner, and we will ensure that the meal served is complete....! Never again will you miss eating flowers in your garden because it's too much trouble to eat!
"Wait, I haven't heard the last one either. --Besides, Michelle's not the only problem.
Heh, there's a voice. As Riesch raised her face, Kyle looked down at us.
"You too, Vertzner."
Eh!?
"I had a lot of books stored and it was reported that" the stone floor could even come off ". Is it not appropriate to transfer the finished product somewhere?
That's right...!
Besides, I told you to stop piling up books higher than your height. There is a danger of collapse due to earthquakes and so on, and it will be dangerous. "
"... there is no word to return..."
Nonetheless, all the books in the room are valuable and useful to study.
It has been loaded many times and the contents are in my head. However, books can be noticed completely differently depending on the timing of reading.
(I'm in the weather, and I can't bother you with the castle... But I can't give priority to letting go!! We have at least two weeks, three weeks to review and finish the first reading....)
"Therefore, I will release one of my rooms to you as a library."
"... I'm sorry, Prince Kyle, it takes about a month to dispose of it... huh!?
Riesch was deeply surprised by the words of shock.
"What's the matter?
Are you sure? In the room is an alchemy book. It's not bothering you to leave the room even though it's about me. "
Alchemists are often seen as' spending money and time, and barely getting results'.
Michelle was invited to Coyol, but what was required was not the knowledge of smelting, but a variety of knowledge, including pharmacy.
Kyle doesn't have any reason to respect Riesch as an "alchemist."
But he said without hesitation. It feels straightforward and smooth.
It is my duty to support you. I don't want to compromise on my behavior. "
Prince Kyle......
As he said, Kyle helped Riesch and the others many times.
"Are you guys immersed in research without eating again...!? Wait, okay, don't move, just look at the flask and get this bread to your mouth right away. Drink water first."
If it's research funding, I'll multiply it with my father. --I know you'll get results. I'll make sure to shake your neck vertically. "
Did it work!?... well, congratulations. "
"Above all, I'm really happy that your hard work has been rewarded."
In a room at the Garchain Imperial Castle, Riesch thinks quietly.
(... Prince Kyle really made me feel better in every life. That's why I....)
"Riesch"
Michelle called me in front of her and raised her face.
In the morning, when Arnold allowed him to continue his training, Riesch visited the tower where the scholars of Coyol would stay in the afternoon.
"I went through it all the way. The focus is very good and interesting. I'm also interested in the results."
"Thank you, Dr. Michelle."
Arranged on the table was a proposal for a study that I had written out a few days after I met Michelle.
These are the things that ended halfway through the alchemist's life. I wanted to hear Michelle's opinions because some of them could be used in future war avoidance plans.
"All of this has been verified to some extent."
"When I was at home, I had a little hobby. My relationship with this country has been interrupted."
Richie mixes lies with the truth. Actually, he died in the middle of research.
"For your information, have you ever experimented with this material?
"Yes, I do. That's why I'm worried about the allocation here. The chemical solution is too strong for the material...."
Being watched by the Knights of the Guard, Richie asks Michelle many questions.
(... the weapons of today's Coyol kingdom include a scholar named Michelle. His Highness Arnold will be interested, but... it will not lead to friendship between the two countries. Michelle does not always belong to Coyol)
Besides, I think.
There is another reason why we don't want Michelle and Arnold close. I remember when I separated Michelle from Michelle and squeezed my hands tightly.
"Hey, Richie."
Michelle stopped arguing and smiled softly.
"Do you like to study?
"Yes, very much!
I nod from the bottom of my heart to the question.
"It's exciting to learn something new. If the world spreads more and more, and you can see things differently, even yesterday's scenery will look different."
"Fufufu, that's right. It's fun to learn, and it's fun to practice."
"Yes, when the theory assembled on the desk is proven in an experiment, it jumps up with joy."
"I get it. And I was convinced it was."
Michelle lays her cheek on the desk and says with a melting smile.
"--You 're not for the queen."
……
The knight of the guard almost said something, so Riesch stopped it with her gaze.
It is a misleading element, but Michelle has no ill intentions. He keeps doing this with a clear voice.
"Isn't that right? You have the freedom to go wherever you want and try anything. It should be a better way to live."
"... Sensei"
I wish you'd come to me.
When he cuts his neck, his golden hair becomes smooth and dry.
"That way you'll know a lot of things you don't know. I'll tell you everything.
"... thank you so much for inviting me. But the last thing I want to know right now....."
Rieschett gazed at the window.
In the distance, you can see the detached palace where Leescher's room is located. Arnold should be back on duty and working in that room.
Arnold Hein.
My body was very strong.
When Michelle lays her eyes down, the shadow of her long eyelashes falls on her cheeks.
"I'm interested in him, too. Kyle's request was said to have been turned down, but the refusal at that time was very experimental for me, right? I want to know what happens when I give him some medicine."
"Ah...."
I felt my nasty sweat soaking.
"I named it gunpowder. If it's your husband, fufu."
Michelle stares at Riesch with her dark eyes.
"--I think it will be used very effectively."
