Everybody, back off.
After the meal was done, Forlì said so, and made the knights and his lords leave the tent.
The women of the people of the woods, who supplied me, also leave in a gracious manner. When Ekaterina thanked her for a delicious meal, she returned a happy smile that seemed not to be just courtesy.
Mina remains. With the usual faceless expression, I was gobbling out the air that I was not going to leave Ekaterina, and Forlì nodded one too. They're not going to let her back down.
"Lady, this way, please."
Smiling, Aurora offered a plate with something like a thin baked cookie on it.
"It's a sweet coated with king honey from the Great Bee. It is only rarely that they divide it into humans, as it is only what queen bees of the great king bees would eat, only very small quantities are made. Even His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to enjoy this. It's the only luxurious hospitality we can offer to the people of the woods."
"Well, such. Which of these evenings was very nice and delicious."
Nevertheless, I'm still excited to think of it as such a precious thing.
Ekaterina said, "Saku, good teeth." The sweetness is not strong and slight.
(Ah ⁉ ●)
Ekaterina opens her eyes to the feeling of coming after one breath.
I don't know, magic. As if fuel had been thrown in, it rose all the time. The amount drained from sweeping a monocular bear or soiling a field feels charged all at once.
"For someone as magical as a lady, the effect appears strong"
Phew, and Forlì laughs.
"King of the Great Bee Honey Keeping is very good for the body even if it is eaten by ordinary humans and has the effect of healing illnesses and wounds incredibly quickly, but when spoken by those with magic, it enhances their magic"
"Well...... how wonderful"
"The Duke of the Fifth Age, Lord Vassily, calls the king's honey a 'treasure of the woods'."
It came out a lot in previous life games and stuff, like healing pills (potions). Wow. If this was the world of adventurous games, not maiden games, adventurers would have arrived to get them. Good, I don't have an adventurer in this world.
... I've forgotten for a while that this is the world of maiden games... because it's been an unrelated day with the maiden games scenario since I came to the Duke's Land. I'm afraid I'm going to forget all about the scenarios and events in the maiden game.
"It seems to me that the queen bee of the Great Bee has a high intelligence and understands the reason of the human world that it is the Duke of Eurnova who governs the land. When the Duke's family visits the residence of the forest people, they often divide the king's honey. It makes me feel like I know my worth."
If so, you're a really intelligent queen bee. Understanding human needs and selling them is, in a way, a marketer.
And you did a good job. Lord Vassily protected the Great King Bee Forest, I'm guessing, in order to secure this King's honey. This world where personal magic can be a tremendous advantage, an item that enhances your magic, is an unparalleled treasure. If it works for illnesses and injuries too, medical care isn't so well developed yet, and it's already a treasure and a treasure.
"... thank you for eating for your brother"
The puffiness and words rolled out of my mouth.
Brother, how are you doing now? Aren't you working late because I'm not around? I wonder if you ate properly.
If you eat this king's adopted honey, you might also break the overworked death flag. I should have brought it home without eating.
Oh, but I'm afraid I'll increase my working hours because I can recover. No, can you take recovery pills and work twenty-four hours, what a catch copy of Showa it is a relic of the past...... so from this age is that the future? No, I don't care. Yeah.
Wow, looks like I miss your brother.
Aurora says, as Ekaterina's distraction that seemed to creep.
"Ma'am, would you like to see Lord Vassily's Itchy Items, which we the people of the woods have conveyed?"
"Well, I'd love to."
Why don't you, Bracon, it's not a good time to show off, yourself.
From the corner of the tent, Aurora brought a crate big enough to hold. It is a beautiful piece with a fine sculpture on the surface that is used to make it smooth. Only on the front of the crate are nine different plants carved in each of the nine, separated by the eye shape of the Acer board.
When Aurora opened the top lid and moved something, there was a clatter and noise and one of the plates split in the nine on the front came off. Aurora furthermore shifts the eight remaining plates like a puzzle.
This is a tease box. Hakone's parquetry is famous in Japan, but something similar exists in the Empire. People in the woods can even make these things.
At the end of the day a thin drawer appeared and Aurora gave me the obsolete letter she had taken out of it.
"What did your brother say at the feast?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Perhaps parchment from the fact that the hand is not very different from normal paper, but the ink isn't discolored, even though it's supposed to be about three hundred years old. Knowledge in this world since entering and leaving Alexei's office suggests that parchment has been used for a long time, although paper was already popular during the empire's founding years. Because parchment paper is generally more likely to withstand long-term storage than paper.
If this were parchment, Lord Vassily would have considered it an important matter to convey until later that he would protect the people of the forest, this Great Bee forest.
Open the letter and read it.
Old-fashioned typeface, but powerful handwriting. That's right, you and the famous Lord Vassily, among the historic Dukes of Yurnova, can feel the strength of the will. Although the styles are classic, the official documents still write this way, so I can manage to read them thanks to the fact that they were bordered by documents in the office.
The content is concise, with four main points.
Permission for forest people to reside in EURNOVA territory.
Permission for forest people to pass anywhere in EURNOVA territory and without exception.
Prohibition on logging and opening forests inhabited by forest people.
To make every convenience available to the inventor Giovanni di Santi, in order to protect himself and provide him with what he seeks, at the price of granting the aforementioned privileges. And to be faithful to the Duke's family.
At the end of the day, an escort is added in different handwriting. This letter was dated as still valid. I've seen it in the office, the handwriting of my grandfather Sergei.
... With this content, the people of the woods can even come into the castle of Yurnova if they show this letter. Rather maybe what I wrote so I could do that. When Wang adopts honey, so that it can be delivered.
But the price of all this generosity is convenience to the inventor Giovanni di Santi... something like Lord Vassily, when it comes to the inventor, I'm doing everything I can. No, the real issue is loyalty to the Duke's house, and I guess it's a hideout to get Wang's honey. Other than this, Lord Vassily created a patent system in the Empire, which was meant to remind him of his return to his country by defending Di Santi's rights, and... I don't think it's just a hiding place, something.
"Ma'am, check this out. It's a portrait of Lord Vassily and the inventor."
"Well! Do you still have the inventor's portrait?
I never saw it at all. The inventor Di Santi is famous for his accomplishments, but he doesn't know anything about being a person or his appearance.
At first glance after receiving a fine painting (miniature) about the size of a hand mirror, Ekaterina accidentally almost laughed.
"Surprisingly... you looked younger"
Aurora put the white bead worm cage on the table, so I look closely at it with its lights. The inventor sitting permanently alongside Lord Vassily was quite a child's face, or pretty face. When it comes to redheads, light salmon pink hair, bright yellow eyes like lemons, and crisp large eyes are the charm points. I have a moustache on that face, but it doesn't look great.
I used to do a variety show in my previous life where, for some reason, women's idols were called mustache dancing, but I took about that mustache and put it on. Loaded with feeling. No, the inventor, on his own, totally layered with Leonardo da Vinci. If you were expecting a sinister grandfather with a famous self-portrait, it's just a bearded idol. What a surprise.
The difference is magnificent waterfalls because Lord Vassily, next door, has a splendid physique that can be seen working out on a long length that looks like the Duke of Yurnova. Blue grey hair and eyes look a little harsh but handsome, maybe around thirty Lord Vasely and maybe twenties Di Santi from a child-faced cute system - if you see a friend of mine from a previous life who liked BL, don't go into instant paranoia. Thank you, ancestor. I'm sorry.
"Ma'am, this is the next one."
Aurora gave me another fine painting, and now I saw it anticipating a boy with a beard on his face.
I didn't have a mustache.
Or clothes are the dress.
An old-fashioned, relaxed thing similar to what the forest people wear. My hair is short but I wear flower embellishments and that suits my pretty face well. Lord Vassily is taking my hand and leaning in to envelop me in the public's length...
Er......
came to mind all the time, Ekaterina looked behind the fine painting.
There it was written in Lord Vassily's handwriting:
"Giovanna di Santi
My partner. "
Giovanna is a woman.
And a mate.
