Chapter 22.1

 


 

His head dropped as he stared at me blankly. I nervously wondered if such a pun would work on him as cold sweat seeped from my hands due to the tension.

 

At that moment, his shoulders shook, and a chuckle echoed.

 

“Ah, really… Young Lady, you always exceed my expectations.”

 

“….”

 

“And that makes it very amusing for me.”

Diel Marsotis’s current favorability: 13% -> 15% ]

 

 

 

‘Okay, it’s settled.’

 

Diel, wiping away the tears gathered at the corners of his eyes, straightened his previously bowed back. He smiled as if satisfied with the current situation.

 

“All right. Since I’ve confirmed that the Young Lady can hear the words of God, I guess I’ll keep my word.”

 

“….”

 

“Where is Perideline Kaisian, who was said to be in danger?”

 

“In the border of the forest.”

 

“The border of the forest?”

 

A look of annoyance flashed across Diel’s face for a moment.

 

His reason for wanting to help me wasn’t because he truly believed I could hear prophecies but rather because he found my jests amusing. Perhaps he had anticipated a nearby location, like an alley in the slums or a square, but he looked at me since the distance was farther than he had anticipated. His eyes seemed to weigh the annoyance from the distant distance and the amusement arising from the unexpected events I caused.

 

After a moment, he let out a shallow sigh and shrugged his shoulders.

 

“Okay. Let’s go to the forest border.”

“Young Lady, no matter how much I think about it, it would be better to go back now.”

 

“Emma worries too much.”

 

Perideline, with her jet-black hair tied up high, turned back towards Emma as she walked ahead. She looked back at Emma, who looked exhausted, and opened her mouth.

 

“What do you think? Doesn’t the outfit suit you well?”

 

Emma couldn’t help but sigh involuntarily as she looked at Perideline’s excited face. She cautiously added, glancing at her master’s reaction.

 

“I hope His Highness the Grand Duke won’t be too surprised when he returns to the mansion to see the Young Lady.”

 

“It’s fine. Brother won’t stay long even if he returns anyway.”

 

“….”

 

“I’ll just have to behave while he’s around, right?”

 

Perideline replied with a scowl before she turned her body to walk ahead once again. She used to wonder why her brother was always out and about when she was younger, but now, she felt like she began to understand what he was thinking more as she grew older.

 

Especially since she was tired of fighting every time she attended the tea parties of the young ladies.

 

‘It would be nice if men could see that. I’d rather go out and win tournaments like my brother than wear a dress and attend tea parties…’

 

“Oh, come to think of it, is Brother returning to the mansion after the tournament?”

 

“Sir Randolph said that His Highness will probably return to the mansion late tonight as there are still matters he needs to attend to.”

 

“Someone might think he handles all the work of the empire alone.”

 

“It’s true that His Highness does a lot of work, isn’t it?”

 

“…Is Emma on my side or my brother’s side?”

 

“I’m on the side of the head of the house.”

 

Perideline pouted as if she were displeased at her words.

 

Despite her master’s grumbling, Emma couldn’t resist the sight of Perideline going deeper and deeper into the forest and parted her lips.

 

“B-By the way, Young Lady. How far exactly do you intend to go?”

 

“Hmm, I’m going to try to make it all the way to Neitzia today. I think it will be difficult for me to come here for a while.”

 

“Neitzia?”

 

Flustered, Emma grabbed the hem of her skirt before she hurriedly chased after Perideline, speaking anxiously.

 

“W-Wouldn’t it be too dangerous to go that far? Just entering the border of the forest is already incredibly dangerous!”

 

“Well, was it dangerous?”

 

“Of course, it’s dangerous! Not many people have come this far since the world tree started to wither.”

 

Perideline tilted her head before shrugging her shoulders.

 

It was true, as Emma had said, that there was a strange atmosphere in the forest border where the World Tree in Neitzia had begun to wither. However, that didn’t mean she could give up on this adventure. After all, she might be able to meet the fairy who saved her in her childhood again.

 

She unconsciously gripped the sword hanging from her waist.

 

 

 

〈 I-I’m scared… 〉

〈 It’s dangerous! 〉

 

 

 

It was an old memory from eight years ago. Golden hair that sparkled in the sunlight filtering through the branches and emerald eyes resembling the verdant World Tree ran towards her. She could still vividly recall the feel of her hand, which reached out to her without hesitation as she stood there, terrified.

 

‘Kaisian never forgets a favor.’

 

At the sight of Perideline’s determined blue eyes sparkling with enthusiasm, Emma’s eyes wavered uneasily.

 

“…Young Lady?”
