The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

"Oh, my God. Is Astelle in such a state right now...!?

At dinner, Rolf shouted in surprise.

The table is lined with cuisine made by Sophie, including sautéed carrots, marinated vegetables and quiche.

None of them are delicious and I don't think the former Duchess can make them.

Why? Because it is basically normal for a noble lady to entrust all such domestic work to her servants.

Certainly no one likes cooking, but it is unusual and almost equal to zero if you are a Duchess.

Nevertheless, I can cook too, so I can't talk about people.

In my case, it was a bit difficult to cook a delicate home-cooked dish like that made by Sophie because there were a lot of lavish things to make when I was on an expedition with the Knights.

You may want to learn while you're here.

I often say that Sieg is delicious and delicious.

Today, Rolf and Sophie told me that you don't have to worry about manners much, so I feel a little disturbed, but if it's not too dirty, it's the effect of normal education.

Still, my mouth is a little dirty, so I still have it.

I don't mind it because it's adorable.

"Ah, maybe in a little while we'll hear more about Tradd here... really, just a few days ago."

Clément said so.

Though Trad is close to Astaire, people don't come and go so often.

Because there are many types of Trad residents who prefer to be self-sufficient, there are occasional peddlers for farmed fish at certain times, and there is little movement of residents.

That's why there's still no information on Astaire's tragedy here.

"Even if you pulled from the throne, you lost too much public interest in the boulders... The information you get if you want to get it. If I had known, I could have arranged some support supplies."

What Rolf regretted was that he was slow in obtaining the information and failed to act as much as he could.

I wonder if Clément's kindness is in Rolf's hands.

People who do more for the benefit of others than themselves.

Selfish people like me deserve respect.

I feel even deeper self-aversion now that I have used it selfishly until I die.

This time, I thought deeply about making amends for it, or at least not letting Clemen die first.

Then I tell Rolf.

"It's around here, but Astelle had many nobles with hearts. As for supplies, they contribute a sufficient amount from their own villa, etc., and arrangements for obtaining them from other lands are fairly smooth. That's why I thought you wouldn't be so worried."

"Oh, really? I wish I could... How's the food?

"At least you don't have to worry about starving to death. However, you're running out of fresh groceries. The dragon attack destroyed the port, so few ships left....."

"I see.... It's not the right time, but would it be a little helpful to send farmed fish?

"Of course. Cooking is also done in the city, but there are still many things that don't taste good... Everyone in town would be delighted to eat the famous farmed fish of Trad."

"Well, let's arrange it tomorrow. But...."

Yes?

"Elaine knows a lot about the people of the city, doesn't she? In a situation like this one with boulders, I don't think your lady has many appearances....."

It's not that you're making fun of me, it's just that the fact that your lady went to the disaster scene won't be very helpful.

It's not like people can mix it up to dispose of debris, etc., and it's not like people can see injured people. Cooking is also difficult, and there are few people who can instruct the lady to refrain from doing miscellaneous things.

That's why it's difficult for a lady to work on the spot.

However, instead, it is an administrative job in a mansion... that can arrange supplies, contact relationships, and so on.

And in that case, it would be unnatural for the lady to go out less often, so it would be unnatural for her to know more about the city like me.

Cremant answers with a bitter smile.

Listen to me, Dad.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"Elaine is now called The Virgin of Astelle in the city of Astelle. Walk the city and the citizens will be surrounded by words of gratitude. I was surprised when I saw Elaine pick her up. Even a true Virgin of the Holy Nation would never be so admired.

"... why is that happening?

"Elaine has been working as a healer at the city clinic since the start of this disturbance. I didn't come home until three days later. It was only three days later that I realized that I was going west for Astelle, too... because you wouldn't normally expect a lady to work in a hospital for three days without going home, would you?

Clément said that with a joke, but the content is true.

But Rolf seemed incredible, looking at me with his eyes wide open.

"Elaine-san... what were you talking about...?

I nodded to him, swallowing the word "true."

"I'm embarrassed."

That's what I said.

Rolf exhaled at the answer.

"... that's it again. I've done a lot of disrespect. But if she did that, and if the Duchess did it herself, it's only natural that she should be admired...."

That's what I said, so I'll deny it in part.

"I was lying on my back, so only the priest in charge of the hospital and one patient I was supposed to visit to have a healing surgery done directly know who I was. And I asked both of you to keep a secret... so maybe you just think I'm a strange healer."
