Chapter 87 – 7. A Brief Break (4)
All the people who came to help with the construction of the house free of charge were grateful for the hearty dinner and praised YuRia and Mr.
He said he hadn’t thought it would be so easy since wizards were involved in construction, and asked if he could help again next time, but the answer was this.
“This time I’m going to live in a house, so I’m actively working, but the cost of my employment must be quite expensive.”
“Ah, how long has it been?”
“It’s not something I choose to do after looking at the quests posted in the adventurer’s guild. In the case of ‘nomination requests’, 3 gold per hour.”
At those words, the old men immediately shut their mouths.
Mister… You’re more expensive than I thought…
“Loa, by the way, you also get at least 12 silver per hour?”
“Eh!?”
“That’s what an iron-clad adventurer is. Generally, you get paid according to the value of the request, but if you get paid according to the value of an adventurer, it’s quite expensive.”
I knew that first.
“Well, I’m a gold plate, but since the original magician’s hiring cost is higher, there’s a sense that my hiring cost is higher.”
Sometimes there are other employment laws as well.
It’s not about paying the magician’s hiring fee. There is also an employment law that pays for the use of magic.
However, those men said that using magic at the level they wanted would cost more this way.
“For example, if I add up the usage fees of the magic I wrote today, I’ll get at least 400 gold?”
“…”
It felt like something was going to go wrong with money.
“Don’t you remember the money Yuria made in the first place by purifying the possessed property?”
“Ah…”
Come to think of it, when the Count took Yuria as his adopted daughter, she became tax free, so she brought her back, right?
The money was a little over 400,000 gold.
“Oh, um…”
That, I think my sense of money will be paralyzed!!
“In the first place, adventurers are different from ordinary people in terms of economic power, but merchants are more.
“…”
When the story of nobility came up again, Loa suddenly remembered the countess, or the former countess, who was no longer even a noble.
What?
Come to think of it, I forgot something very important.
Why the hell was he forgetting about this?
“Mister. Do you remember when you were dealing with the former Countess?”
“You’re from that back alley?”
“The man in the black robe.”
How did Cashwin respond to Roa’s words? And she put on a very shocked expression.
“Wait, why did I forget it existed?”
“Are you like that too?”
“Yes. It came to mind after you said it. Obviously, when the punishment was given for Fernando and the former countess, all the gang were arrested, but the black Robe was nowhere to be seen…”
Suddenly, the two of them got goosebumps.
“You may not have heard the old man, but his voice was strange. It was like a woman, it was like a man, it was like a child with a short tongue, it was like an old man, it was clear and it was very muddy… It was such a contradictory voice.”
At those words, Cashwin sighed and thought for a moment.
“Oh no way. No way. No way”
“What is it, what the hell is that?”
Cashew Wynn hesitated for a long time in a very anxious voice, and then she opened her mouth.
“The voice you speak of… I have only heard it once.”
“Who are you?”
“Devil”
At that moment, there was silence around them.
“It’s the very existence that your father managed to exorcise into the Demon Realm…”
The very battle in which his master lost his life.
If the existence that Loa witnessed was really the demon king, did her teacher give up her life for peace that lasted only 20 years or so?
At least…
Even if the demon king appeared again, he thought that he would not appear in this generation.
The disaster, which was thought to appear at least after the loa child grew up, was coming again too quickly.
“Let’s go to the adventurer’s branch. I need to inform you right away.”
* * * * *
Cashwin, who forcibly grabbed the employee who was about to leave for work late at night and hurriedly attempted magic communication, informed this fact right away.
It seems that the devil has returned.
What happened at the count’s family.
Although not a high-ranking mage, Cashwynn, who is at the top among general mages, lost consciousness without being able to resist. As if he had judged quite dangerously, at first, the tone that seemed like it was nothing special, but try it, disappeared without a trace, and he responded with a very nervous tone.
-Is there something more missing?
“Although he’s inexperienced, my nephew, who is a hero of the holy sword, doesn’t seem to have mastered it properly since the technique to make him lose consciousness for the first time didn’t work well? It was my nephew who heard the voice of
-Is this information reliable?
“I believe in my nephew. This naive and naive guy is so upright that he doesn’t even know how to lie.”
-… I get it.
The employee who was listening to all this conversation from the side was watching Cashwyn with a bluish complexion.
“No, no, no…”
“Shut up. It hasn’t really come over yet, but it looks like it came into existence for a while using the bodies of the warlocks.”
Cashew Wynn, tut and clicking her tongue, has been seeing this as a sign that something big is about to happen, though.
It’s like the Winter Queen’s work, and Gash’s Elven Guard work.
* * * * *
Next day. Merkin, who came home with Nuri, didn’t look very good.
Merkin had three letters in his hand.
The two are letters from Count Baran, YuRia’s adoptive father. One of them had already been opened and the other was still sealed.
Perhaps one of those headaches was actually a letter from Merkin, who was in charge of administering the territory on behalf of the lord.
And the other was a letter made of silk with a brilliant golden seal stamped on it.
“This… Can’t it?”
“It’s the first time I’ve ever received a handwritten letter from His Majesty in my life. Of course, the owner of this letter is Yuria.”
The golden seal was not really gold.
However, this sealing wax, which was passed down through the method of the royal family’s secret and could only be used by the royal family, was a proof that it was the king’s handwritten letter.
Taking the king’s handwritten letter from Merkin’s hand with her nervous hands, Yuria carefully opened her letter while unsealing her.
As she read her letter, YuRia’s hand began to tremble.
“This person…!!”
“Yu, Yuria?”
Originally, the king’s letter was not to be seen carelessly, but Yuria, who was clenching her fists in anger, roughly held out the letter to Loa, and Loa read the letter.
“To my dear Lady Baran…”
The content of the letter was very long.
This was the content, except for the royal massa phrase.
It begins by emphasizing the special relationship between the Baran family, this country, and the royal family.
I heard that there was a great tribulation in the Baran Territory, but it was resolved without any problems thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of the young lady, and it led to the content that I couldn’t help but marvel at it.
And in the end, the point was this.
I feel very sorry to hear that the young lady’s debut stage (the socialite debut of a virgin aristocratic young lady) is still going on despite having accomplished such a great job, so I personally want to invite the young lady to this social gathering.
Please respond to the invitation and come out here to make this place shine.
“Yuria?”
“Loa… Do you know what my full title is?”
“Yes?”
“It’s not the count’s daughter, it’s the ‘baron’ and the ‘wife'”
At that, Roa flinched and looked at the letter again.
“Neither a young lady nor a maiden. It’s not a perfect branch, but it definitely exists as a separate family belonging to the family under the command of the Baran Territory, and the Count of Baran must have reported it that way.”
“Wait, this letter is as if Yuria is unmarried…?”
“Count Baran clearly acknowledged Loa as my husband.
Yuria’s fingers, which were holding the King’s personal letter, twitched.
YuRia, who was consuming a lot of energy trying to resist the urge to crumple her letter right away, put her letter down on the table.
“The Baran family has no offspring to inherit, and no wife to give birth to a next generation of children. Actually, I, the adopted daughter, is the only hand of Count Baran. The king has declared that he will not recognize my marriage.
YuRia gritted her teeth as her eyes glowed so blue that it was incomparable to her usual.
“This means that you will take me to an arranged marriage…”
Dare… Dare!!
Now this me… You want to wield it at will?
The savages of this primitive civilization?
Respect also happens when the other person respects you.
No matter how much culture is, there is no high, low, precious, or vulgar, but there is still such a thing.
Barbarism and civilization are concepts that definitely exist, and sometimes their presence is revealed very firmly.
“And Count Baran seems to be trying to respond to this incident by holding a grand ceremony for you and Loa’s wedding. However, he informed me that Loa’s identity must be revealed for this event.”
“Wait, let’s reveal Lionheart’s last name?”
Cashwyn muttered and pondered for a moment.
The existence of a warrior is always targeted by someone.
Even if there were no accidents, the name of the warrior was praised by the people, and the shaman named the warrior was bound to lead the public sentiment.
So ironically, nobles and royalty didn’t like warriors very much.
Formally, the hero was given the title of knight and incorporated into aristocratic society, but that was only a facade and a name.
In the first place, it’s just a side split without any real power.
But even so, the warrior was definitely a family in itself, and obviously had the surname of a nobleman, so he had privileges that a nobleman could have.
However, the value of the name of a warrior was coveted and a thorn in the eyes of many people in many ways, so there were plenty of people in this land who would rather destroy it than not get it in their own hands.
Of course, most of the warriors died due to the trials and tribulations of being in the position of being a warrior before being caught up in a quarrel between such ugly nobles, but surely the number of warriors who died at the hands of humans like themselves was by no means small.
That’s why Cashwyn hoped that if possible, Loa’s identity would not be revealed.
Even if it is revealed, it is after the loa has built up more strength, built up more proper hero-like strength and skills, and accumulated experience. If not, it’s after Yuria really recovers her powers to the extent that no one in this world can touch her.
Didn’t she do it herself? She says she hasn’t recovered even a tenth yet.
Those who reached the upper level of the transcendental class, such as Nel sister, would not be able to win, but Yuria now was already well enough to enter the class of the transcendentalists.
Although she struggled, the fact that she defeated the Orc Lord proves it.
A young Orc Lord who still lacks experience.
It was an existence located at the end of the existence of transcendence, but it was definitely a existence of transcendence.
And now, as she is stronger than then, it is difficult to compare her superiority to other Transcendentalists.
Then, if you say it’s okay, it’s not that you’re invincible as a transcendent.
If the transcendent was such an existence that could overturn all of them, Sister Nell, not Sister Eelin, would have been king.
Eileen’s sister is also said to be a transcendental being, but a prefix is added in front of it.
Prefixed with ‘conditional’.
From the start, he wasn’t really someone who had reached the transcendental level, but an ordinary elf who happened to be the pure high elf born closest to his ancestors.
Rather than a warrior, he is just a being closer to a priest who serves the World Tree.
If you look at it in that sense, it would be a little awkward to say that Yuria is also a transcendental person.
Obviously, Yuria’s strength includes her own efforts and numerous experiences, but like Eileen’s sister or dragons, the strength of the race itself accounts for the most weight.
“…What am I thinking?”
Yes, in the end she needs her own brute force, but it’s now clear that truly the two of them will need the mighty force to protect themselves as well.
While Cashwynn was lost in thoughts, Yuria opened the letter her count had written to her, and as expected, the contents were identical to those of Uncle Merkin.
More details about why and what to do. And the things you ask about what you want them to do.
And since I have to do it as quickly as possible, it was written that I would like a reply as soon as possible as soon as the letter arrived, if possible.
“Cashwynn… What should I do with this…”
“This is why I’m not involved with nobles…”
“Mister…”
YuRia, who just sighed, thought about it for a while, and the corner of her mouth went up slightly.
“Even though it turned out like this, she’s kind of happy that she’s still getting married.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t know if it’s here, but where I was, when I got married, a wedding was a must. It wasn’t the case here, and I didn’t have the time to spare, so I skipped it, but I was a little sad inside…”
At that, Roa put on a slightly bitter expression, but then opened her mouth.
“Yes, let’s do it. Wedding”
“Huh…”
“In that sense, I’ll have to send a reply soon.”
As soon as the policy was set, he immediately sent a reply to the Count, and upon receiving the reply from Yuria, the Count began concurrently proceeding with the things he had already prepared to some extent.
At the same time as the pre-written invitations, the nobles of this faction and several high-ranking core nobles. Then he sent it to the royal family and publicized it extensively.
Yuria, her own adoptive daughter, is a ‘wife’ who is her full-fledged companion, not her virgin aristocratic daughter without her mate.
And the fact that the companion is the very warrior of the holy sword.
And Yuria and Roa went on a journey again.
However, this time, Roa and Yuria remain in the village with Allen, who is heavy, and Cashwyn, who is supposed to take care of Allen. It was a journey only for the three of them.
No. Exactly…
“Delis!!”
She was once Yuria’s exclusive maid.
No, she was still Yuria’s exclusive lady-in-waiting, so even now, she is Yuria’s maid-in-waiting, she appears in the village driving her stylish aristocratic wagon.
“It’s been a while, lady. I was back at the Count’s house for a while due to circumstances.”
“No. I heard the circumstances.”
Delis could not stay in the Elven Guard for a long time due to her status, so she had no choice but to return to the Countess.
She and she arrived today, with the trunk of her wagon full of dresses that were to be given to Yuria.
All of them were uncomfortable clothes for YuRia, but they weren’t as uncomfortable as she thought.
Come to think of it, she certainly had her own body size and body structure measured when she was in the county’s family, so in a way, she might be taken for granted.
“The Count promised Lady Yuria’s custom-made clothes. They are only for Lady Yuria.”
“Hey…”
Is a woman a woman? Seeing Yuria smiling brightly as she lifted and put on her clothes in her heart, Roa felt her heart pierced a little.
“It’s pretty… I’ve always wanted to try on something like this.”
“From now on, you can wear it whenever you want.”
At those words, Yuria smiled a little awkwardly.
“Yeah, but it’s pretty, but it’s a bit uncomfortable…”
At that, Delis covered her mouth with one of her hands and smiled lightly.
“What should I say? You’re acting like a lady.”
“I’m not sure what I’m like… But I don’t know whether to be happy or sad. I’m not sure whether to be angry. Should I be happy to have the gorgeous wedding of my dreams, even though it’s a lot late? Should I be angry that this is a political show I have to do…”
“…”
Delis quietly shut her mouth as her expression darkened slightly.
“But I want to think of good things as good things. In the end, the only people who will like me if I get hurt are those who hate me.”
“Miss…”
“So this time, I have to prepare a really cool marriage proposal, Roa. If I don’t like her, I’ll just reject her.”
Roa, who was in trouble, already began to roll her head over what to do with her proposal to Yuria, and YuRia and Delis laughed out loud.
After a while, she wears the dress she finally picked out at home. Loa also changed into the robe she had prepared in her carriage and stood in front of her carriage.
And Roa opened the carriage door, got on top of the carriage first, and reached out her hand toward Yuria.
“Then would you like a ride, lady?”
“Puhuh… It’s a bit wrong, but I’m willing”
Even though it all started because of political machinations, Yuria and Loa decided to be happy.
If others don’t acknowledge them, you just have to make them admit it.
Now, the two want to let the whole world know that they are a couple.
They have finally embarked on a journey to be officially recognized as a married couple.
Seeing the two kiss each other deeply, Delis simply let out a deep sigh.
I’m happy to see the lady happy, but what should I say? To be next to this couple, as expected, it was inevitable that my side would get very cold.
Please, be as happy as you were in pain…
