Chapter 269 – Gorgalia (1)
About 1 month before the wedding day.
I had sent a wedding invitation to Tyrsi and waited for an answer.
She was the most comfortable person to write wedding invitations to when I started preparing for the wedding. Not because she was showing off, but because, objectively, they were close friends.
‘But strangely, there was no reply.’
Potion alchemists are free in the winter.
It is not the time to receive large orders for potions to spread on farmland like in autumn, and in winter, ordinary people tighten their belts. It should be leisurely, but I found it strange that there was no reply, so I went to the wizard guild.
After meeting Cromwell and telling him that he had returned, he went to the alchemy school lab.
But Tirshi was not there. It was that we had taken winter vacation while we were away on a business trip and went back to our hometown.
Hometown of Tyrsi.
It is none other than Romania.
“There’s no way Tyr could have gone back to her home without her meaning.”
Lady Hennesses said as she took off the nun’s veil.
Was ‘Tir’ a nickname for Tyrsi? I nodded her head and replied.
“If it’s her past, I’ve heard about it from the person herself.”
“… That’s one of the reasons I asked you. I correspond with Tyr from time to time, but she seems to trust you quite a bit.”
“If you cross the dead line together, the walls in your heart will be lowered. I can entrust my life to her.”
It was a slightly exaggerated statement.
Still, it wasn’t just Gura. In a life-or-death situation, she trusts her enough to risk her life. Both character and skill.
The young lady touched the holy mark of the god of fertility.
“I saw the look in your eyes as you looked at her wife. Let me believe you.”
“Thank you for your kind words. By the way, did you think the reason you thought Tyrsi was missing was because there was no reply to the letter?”
It’s an evaluation that makes me feel embarrassed enough to make my back itchy, so I roughly return the topic.
I met the lady by chance at the wizard guild a month ago and fell on my knees.
“Okay. She left, leaving behind only a letter telling her not to worry because she will return to Romania in the future. The destination was also written.”
Lady Hennessys half-opened her eyes as if she was upset while talking.
“But I replied to the letter I wrote in anger, and after that, the replies stopped. Even though I wrote an express courier between Sargadis and Romania in a week.”
“… What is the possibility that the letter was lost in the middle?”
“I sent it in several parts, and I heard again and again that it had arrived properly at the claim in charge of the express ticket office. Even the news that Tyr is not accepting her letters at all.”
“Even though I sent you to the wizard guild?”
─Nod. Lady Hennesses affirmed my words.
It was a strange story. To a wizard, the wizard’s guild is like a triple complex of a convenience store in front of the house, Daiso, and a free inn.
If you were staying there, the letter would of course go all the way to Tirshi’s room.
Even if it’s not that, when Tyrsi goes to the counter, she’ll hear that there’s a letter addressed to you. Message notification (physical).
It’s such a comfortable letter to receive, but there is no record of receiving it at all.
It sounded to me like Tyrsi had left her quarters and hadn’t returned for a single day.
“I did an investigation by abusing my power a little without my father’s knowledge. It was within the scope of my pocket money.”
Those were the words of Lady Hennessy. The power of action that used to blow a silent water on me while I was overhearing the conversation is not going anywhere.
“Tir bought items useful for exploration from the wizard guild and disappeared. That’s close to a month.”
“… This is worrying news.”
“Yeah. But I couldn’t find out more than that either. If you reach out to the guilds of other countries too much, it could be seen as meddling in internal affairs.”
A sad little girl. In Britannia, especially in Sargadis, she could wield her sword, but in Romania, she was nothing more than a nobleman, Sari B.
Why is there such a thing? Great power comes with great things.
It’s an international problem if she, her aristocrat, crosses her line by touching her guild in a foreign country. My position is different from that of an adventurer who can freely go to another country to work.
And that was the reason.
The reason Lady Hennesses threw an unofficial nomination request to me.
“Can you understand that I want you to go all the way to Romania and check on the safety of Tyrsi?”
It was an appropriate request to ask a freelance adventurer. In addition to being a trustworthy partner, there is nothing better than having Tirsi and her personal friendship.
It would be fair to say that I was selected as a natural result.
“I won’t ask you to leave right away. We are currently investigating by hiring a local person. If the next report yields erratic results, then I will call you again.”
“… If you do not go through the Adventurer’s Guild, it will be a private request. Do you understand that?”
As a threat to pay more, I asked carefully not to hear.
I won’t hurt my mouth about the harm of doing business without intermediary companies. However, if we insert our Gongsodumra, the record will remain. The act of supporting the fallen nobles was a burden to the young lady.
‘Maybe the lord will cut it.’
It is a promising prediction as much as it will be problematic.
Yeong-joo, a civil servant of the hereditary system, was visited abroad because of his daughter-in-law’s friend? War call? Would you risk hearing the same sound? If you do it wrong, it’s a matter of getting your tail cut.
A horse cuts its tail, but from the point of view of a tail that gets cut off, it was just fucking hair. It’s also a guillotine-style hat.
Fortunately, there is no risk of that if I leave without an official request.
Even if this conversation is leaked to the outside world, there is a 0% chance that it will become an international problem if she tells her friend’s friend that she went out and saw it.
‘Since I gave the officiating speech, I don’t intend to get anything more out of it…’
As she thought so, Lady Hennesses raised her finger.
What the fuck Is it Gigan’s pre-deal motion?
Even the nun Deathbeam was about to fly away, but the lady pointed at the dresser in the penance room.
“The procedure for today’s wedding was the way I learned in Romania. Britannia’s unique culture was largely lost after the Great War, so it was greatly influenced by Romania.”
Did the topic suddenly change? No, this would be an introduction. I gave a rough guess.
“I heard that the Sargadis bathhouse is for a similar reason. Of course, as the common people, we are grateful for the lord’s kindness.”
“That is the result of my father’s policy reflecting my experiences in Romania. The fact that I was baptized in the church was part of my father’s consideration to see the wide world.”
Ah, was that so?
It was probably during his study abroad days that he became acquainted with Tyrsi, a Romanian aristocrat.
“Culture and tradition are important. The strength of the people comes from pride in their country. It is culture that supports that pride, but the reality is that our country is forgetting that tradition.”
Young lady said in a clearing flow. It’s probably something I’ve always had in mind.
‘Because people from another world tend to have strong regional feelings.’
It is a world where God exists. It’s a thing of the past, but aren’t our Deutsch paired snowshoes better than Romania’s Uranus even for the less religious and timid Fran? Didn’t you have an argument?
Gukppong content works everywhere!
Add soy milk and no kimchi to it?
I can’t stand it. It was also inevitable that they would develop a sense of pride or regret about their own country’s culture.
It would be even more so if we were even compared to other countries. Like a Korean pro gamer getting fucked by a Japanese with StarCraft, the blood will spurt backwards.
‘It’s just the marriage culture.’
In modern times, if you ask them to hold a traditional Yeonjigonji wedding, they will frown, but in a different world, it would not be conservative to want a wedding in their hometown.
‘Fran had no particular obsession, but Dana and Veronica might not like it if we got married the Romanian way.’
Veronica in particular was all the more plausible as her attachment to her clan was great.
There may be a reaction to the degree of forcing Christians to bow on holidays.
‘The wives say they don’t like it, but I don’t want to force them to do what they like. ‘
Anyway, let’s think about it then. I sang Yongbieocheonga to Youngae with a little jingle.
“You have great insight. Since the young lady, the successor of the territory, is so intelligent, Sargadis is guaranteed a hundred years of peace.”
“Yes. In that sense, I was the one who persuaded her father to give her second wife’s permission to establish a research institute. I did this out of regret for the current Britannia, which is still under the influence of Romania, but it has become an unexpected point of contact with you, Norse.”
“… Okay. It was very helpful.”
Are you talking about Dana’s laboratory? I was a little surprised by the topic leading up to the introduction, but I could see the main point of what the young lady was trying to say.
Said the young lady.
“If you accept this request——I, Maria Hennessis, will be the patron of Dana Verbeia-sama.”
Sponsor.
Even a young lady who didn’t know that I was a master of archeology would have to lie down to find out that Nunna was my wife. So I thought there was nothing surprising about that.
“Of course, I don’t do anything like being on a leash. As an equal, support your wife’s research, but if you find a better sponsor, you can find a new kite.”
It was a very generous condition.
There is no power relationship and the freedom to change jobs? It was an unimaginable treatment for nobles who tried to create a hive mind by putting a commoner who supported them as a concubine for an ugly child.
Moreover, considering that this young lady would become the next lord of Hennessis as the lord’s child, the value of this offer would have risen two to three times.
But I calmly thought and answered.
“It seems like an overpriced offer. It is true that it is premature.”
“——Ah, that’s right. If so, how about sponsorship for the institute? If it’s in the name of a fund for the development of the territory, there won’t be any trouble.”
A young lady who corrects her words as if she noticed the problem with her proposal.
Wow, look at me fucking fast. I must be really nervous when I talk to this person. I laughed awkwardly.
“It’s hard to say no because you care so much. I will discuss it with my wife and do my best to give you a good answer.”
It’s embarrassing to ask if you’re a sponsor. Because you can’t say that the young lady’s thoughts will continue in a few years.
It is the human heart that changes from time to time. It is also the main job of politicians to change their words.
If it’s for the benefit of thousands of Young Ji-mins, they can blow a taffy on me and my Nunna. The higher the number, the more likely it is.
Wasn’t that also the case with Monarchy? A good monarch must also know how to break promises.
‘Besides, if you already have a sponsor, it’s difficult to find another one.’
Unless you are an aristocrat who has no intention of arguing with Lord Hennessis, there will be no one who intentionally supports Nunna. That’s an atrocity to the level of stealing someone else’s club with money.
Even if he didn’t intend to do that to Lady Hennesses right away, he didn’t know what the future holds.
That is why it is a very good suggestion to provide operating funds for the research institute.
To put it mildly, I watched the show well.
“I will wait until the next call to respond to your proposal.”
“Yes. Be careful and go back.”
The young lady stood up as if she had finished talking. I followed along and said hello.
“Of course. Goodbye to you too. Congratulations on your marriage once again.”
Saying that, the young lady left.
Her guards took her back to her estate.
I relaxed my shoulders as I felt like I had finished the business. Sval, as your skills increase, you will have more opportunities to deal with the aristocratic class. Joe must be tired.
I quickly returned to my wives and rubbed Fran’s cheek.
“Ugh. Fran, I’m sorry. On a good day, I came to work…”
“Good job. Was it hard today? After all, Norr is the best.”
Even for the same official, there was a world of difference between hearing it from my wife and listening to it from others.
─ Side.
In addition, Fran even gives lip service (kiss). Yeah shit, this is living. Wouldn’t that be the taste of suffering?
Dana asked me, who was in a bad mood and smiled broadly.
“Yeah well, honestly, you worked hard today. What is the young lady saying?”
“They said if you accept the request, you’ll become a nun or watering stock. It was a win-win proposal, but I’ll tell you the details later, so let’s wait.”
I just said that and went home.
It’s about explaining what you can do at any time. I was worried about Tirsi, but I couldn’t help but worry about someone farther away. I can only hope that you are safe.
‘Because I’m not one to put my head out in a dangerous place by myself.’
If it was Tyrsi, he would take care of the marginal line of safety.
And, in fact, talking about an extramarital girl on your wedding day is a bad thing.
***
Back at home, we had a small after-party.
I didn’t set the table big or anything. They said that you could get the fruit or ham that you left behind as spare supplies at the wedding so you wouldn’t run out, so I got them and laid them out.
It’s not food that other people have tasted, but it’s new food that hasn’t been on the table, so there’s no hygiene concern.
─Tada!
We spread the food that fits the snacks and salty.
This time, it was a drink called Laliluru, a minor, but Fran also refrained from drinking for today. She was in the mood to drink, but seemed to avoid getting drunk.
‘It’s alcohol, because I enjoyed it a lot with the bizo paste.’
After visiting the Holy Sepulcher, I had a few days to spare before returning to Britannia.
At that time, I tasted and drank beer from all over the world, so I’m sure you’re trying to restrain yourself today.
… In fact, at that time, Frank thought that her parents drank to get drunk rather than to enjoy the taste, so after she got married, she looked better smiling and drinking her drink.
“Senior… ? I’m going to bring the bouquet, so don’t throw it away… ?”
Maybe it’s because I ran until 2:00 in the morning? Lalilura, who endured soberly, went to the guest room as if she was sleepy. Dana and Veronica went up to her room while she was yawning.
“… Everyone is gone.”
She didn’t drink, said Fran, who had no trace of drowsiness in her eyes.
It’s been a while since I took off my wedding dress and I’ve removed my makeup, so it wouldn’t be a problem if I brushed my teeth before going to bed, but those bright blue eyes didn’t look like they wanted a goodnight kiss.
It seemed that she didn’t come out with a positive attitude first because she was considerate of me when I was tired, but at times like this, it’s difficult for her to be quick-witted.
‘Well, it’s better than not noticing it.’
What could be the reason Fran didn’t drink her drink on this fine day?
I drank the rest of the drink and went over to Frank and put my hand around her waist.
“Franc. Sleepy?”
“… If Norr isn’t sleepy, I’m not sleepy either.”
Frank covered his face as if embarrassed.
Shit, really our Fran is so cute that I think I’m going to die.
It is said that before a creature dies, its reproductive instinct becomes stronger and its libido increases, but maybe even right before I die from overwork, I will have sex with my wives and have sex with them. You should be careful.
I lightly bit Fran’s ear.
“Come to my room. I will wait.”
“… … Yes.”
Fran twisted her fingers and kissed me fresh on the lips.
It’s winter, but there’s nothing to think about or do.
Fortunately for us, the December nights were very long.
