The next day, Lev came to the Duke's Mansion.

Together with Toma, the lens artisan responsible for the development of the microscope, the two of them had different personalities, but they got along perfectly well.

"Lady, it's been a while."

"Welcome both of you! I've been expecting you."

Ekaterina welcomed him with a radiant smile, and Lev looked like he was blindfolded.

Ekaterina first apologized to Lev when she was in the conversation room and tea came out.

"Lev... I have to apologize to you.I gave you a blue rose hair ornament, a gift to a god. "

Eh?

Ekaterina briefly told Lev, whose eyes were round, about Serene, the dead maiden.

"I was so happy.You said it was beautiful to be able to touch a flower that you couldn't touch for 2,000 years.But I'm sorry for the kindness with which you gave it to me. "

"I'm so... honored. I'm so glad you're happy for such an amazing person."

Lev laughed with real joy.

"I'll make another decoration, so would you like to use it?"

"Lev is kind, isn't he? But you're going to be very busy.Aside from work, please rest slowly. "

"It is also a reference for the design of glass pens.So let me make it. "

Ekaterina was surprised because she always said that the weaker the gentler the ref was.

"Really...? If it's part of your job, make what you want to make slowly.But eat and sleep properly.You promise me that, won't you? "

"Yes, thank you. I will definitely try to make something suitable for your daughter.That's all I need. "

Lev nodded happily.Ekaterina leans her neck as she feels unable to grasp the meaning of the word.

Tom slapped Lev on the shoulder.

I thank Toma for the microscope that came to Yurnova.

"My uncle, Dr. Isaac, was very pleased.You reproduced my shape beautifully... and the magnification of the lens seems to be higher than usual. Excellent. "

"Yeah, no, I'm sorry."

Tom scratched his head as if it stinked.He has a normal personality, but when the lady praises him for letting go, he still feels fine.

"Thank you for introducing Yurnova's commercial department to a good forger.I was surprised that you made something that was difficult to focus on by screwing up and down the cylinder with the lens in it. "

"Yurnova is a metallic region, but she has a lot of connections with craftsmen who are familiar with metalworking.But really, the craftsmen over there were great skill. It's just.... "

Uncle Isaac specializes in minerals, but ordinary minerals are not suitable for microscopic viewing with reflectors.What I happened to see at that time was a rainbow stone that was transparent and contained light, so I could use it.

Nevertheless, Isaac said, "I'll think about it.I think I can do it if I devise a plan. "He said happily, and he seemed to be able to do something about it and trusted, or scared of genius.

"Is there a problem?"

"No! Thank you for your continued research on the special lenses you requested."

What Toma is asking for is a study to create an acromat lens.A special lens that combines convex and concave lenses to prevent color bleeding and blurring of the image center.

"Yes, I'll do my best. It's not going well, but it's fun."

"Thank you for that.I'm just getting started, so please relax. "

Ekaterina looked at Ref with an exciting smile when she cleared up the contact details.

Lev nodded with a delicate nod and presented an elongated box of velvet.

"Lady, this is Her Majesty's glass pen.Please take a test. "

The color of the box is bright red. The color of the emperor is purple, and the color of the emperor is red.

When I opened it, three glass pens sparkled.

All three, the basic color is blue and green.Magdalena's hair colour, which Ekaterina thought was like a sea of coral reefs, is beautifully expressed.

One is twisted blue and blue green like the summer sky.Like the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea.It's almost the same design as one I gave to Emperor Constantine.

The next one has a thicker handle and thinner shape as it goes to the rear end.Only the thick part was transparent, and the sailboat was drawn inside it.

A large sailboat that stretches white sails, kicks the waves and travels at full speed.I'm sure it's a ship that can sail beyond the mountains of the gods to the far east.Even though it's a small painting just before your fingers, it's terribly elaborate and vivid.

Ekaterina watched as white waves appeared on the outside with a white glass line.It looked like a wave, and it was a white lily in a row.The symbol of the empress's family, the Eulsain family, is Lily.

And the last one.

The back half of the blue-green pen turns green from the color of the sea to the stem of the lily, and a beautiful bird looks up from the white lily that blooms out of it.That was the design.

The bird is a symbol of the Empress, also depicted in the emblem.It has long been a bird of the Astra Empire, chanted as a "lion's mate" in poetry and so on.Silver-colored white body color, black decorative feathers, vivid orange around eyes.Even though it was small, it was colored with enamel and depicted in real detail.

This bird, although beautiful in appearance, is actually fierce in nature.Even lions prefer scared, highly poisonous snakes, knocking out and swallowing them with a long legged blow, rather than threatening snakes.Therefore, the real name is Snakebird.

Lions are symbiotic with this bird because they hate snakes and protect the bird's nest.It is said that they may curl their hair and narrow their eyes, and they may walk around with the birds on their backs.In the past, it was often depicted in tapestries and the like.

--I can't remember, but I think this bird probably existed in the previous life.It was featured online as a bird so beautiful that a cartoon god made it a model of a bird of fire.Japanese names should be like snakes.I've never heard of a symbiotic relationship with a lion, so it's probably just our world.

"How beautiful..."

Ekaterina sighs as she falls in love and looks at them.

"Lev, I'm just amazed at your talent.Glass for such elaborate workmanship... blue-green to green gradients, white lilies and birds...It's so small, but so elaborate... how wonderful... "

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Lev lowered his head with joy.

"Senpai came back to the workshop, so I got advice on each piece of craftsmanship when I was thinking about designs.Everyone is intrigued by glass pens. "

"That's right! That's Murano Workshop, the other craftsmen besides you are wonderful people."

What do you mean...?

Lev, we're up even further!

And the day is approaching when other craftsmen learn how to make glass pens. This is fun!

"The Emperor said he would spare no effort to make what he wanted, so he lent me a picture of the sailboat for reference and even allowed me to visit the snake birds raised in the emperor's house.The idea that the Empress would be pleased was conveyed... I was kind of happy as a people. "

Neither lions nor snake birds inhabit the Empire.Far south, another continent is the habitat.From time to time, however, they are sacrificed alive from that country and raised in the royal family.That's what Lev wanted me to see.

"Yes, I know exactly how that feels.The glass pen you gave to the Emperor was a lion's design, so you wanted the Empress to have a design that would match it.It's a real pleasure for both of you to get along. "

The snake bird was depicted on the Empress's emblem by the first Empress, Lyudmila, who was the true wife of Emperor Pyottle.It is known as a gorgeous beauty familiar with the Four Brothers of Jianguo, but during the rough period of the founding of the country, when her husband was absent, she took command of the counterattack and basket castle as the castle.There is also the view that Ludmila was better at commanding than Pyotl, who was not very good at commanding on the battlefield.

Nowadays, the Empress is required to be gentle and elegant.The masculine Magdalena was sometimes questioned about her qualities as an empress.But looking back at history, she may be called the Empress's Origin Return.

Nevertheless, Emperor Constantine did not choose this design with the intention of showing that Magdalena is a suitable woman for the Empress.It would be better if this glass pen were red to represent the Empress.But Constantine wanted to distribute his wife's hair color, blue green, and even the flowers of his native house, Euresain.He wanted to give something that represented his only partner.

"I'm sure you'll like this glass pen.Oniisama is going to see His Majesty tomorrow.I'll give it to you then. "

"Yes, thank you."

"I'm looking forward to Lord Yulsein's glass pen."

"Sorry it took so long.... I was worried about how to paint the goddess of beauty you wanted. "

No matter how many times you draw it, it will become another goddess, and Ekaterina smiles at the reflex scratching her head, feeling the artisan's dedication.

Tom was pounding Lev's shoulders again.
