“Oh, Lady Sele! Are you okay?”

“Yes. Thank you, Hisui.”

After all, the caretaker came back soon, and Hel started eating his dinner without any hesitation. Therefore, Selesina also came to the dining room for her own meal.

As Hisui served her food, she talked about Hel.

“He seems to be feeling better, but it might be a little hard to ride in a carriage to the royal capital……. It may be better to rest for the night and see how he feels.”

“Then I’ll tell them to prepare a breakfast that’s good for the stomach.”

“Please do that.”

As we were eating leisurely, Hel came in with a flapping sound of footsteps.

Even though it was only a short distance from the guest room to the dining room, he was slightly out of breath.

“What’s this……!!”

“Potato chips……. It is a specialty of the village, so I could only serve it in small quantities. ……”

Hel’s question was quickly answered by Hisui.

I thought potato chips might be too heavy for someone who was sick, but it was only a small amount, so it didn’t seem to be a problem.

“They’re called potato chips?……. They’re delicious, do you have more?”

“……. We’ll have some more for you in a minute.”

“Really?”

When Hel found out that there were more potato chips, his face lit up. He really wanted to eat them.

But he soon realized that there were a lot of people in the dining room, so he pulled his hood up deeper.

(He wasn’t kidding about being shy……?)

Currently in the dining room, in addition to Hisui, there’s Logan, his bodyguard. Harry is guarding the gate and Helena is eating in the back. Toi seems to have gone for a walk in the village.

Hel pulled back his hood and walked out of the dining room.

“…………”

After a moment of silence, Selesina stood up from her seat.

“Hisui, please prepare the potato chips for me to take it to Hel’s room.”

“Sure, just one moment.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

***

At the Rinklat house in the royal capital, a dinner party was just about to begin.

Basell, Selesina’s mother Laura, her brothers Asalge and Oswell, and the guest of honor, Lucaria were here.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Basell, head of the Rinklat family. Thank you for traveling so far to see us.” 

“This is my wife, Laura.”

“My name is Oswell, the eldest brother.”

“It’s been a long time. Thank you for your hospitality at the Great Temple.”

Asalge had met Lucaria when he went to the Great Temple, and he thanked him for that.”

“I am Lucaria Asgarl. It is a pleasure to meet you all by the guidance of the gods.”

Lucaria also greeted him and smiled.

“And thank you for allowing me to become engaged to Lady Selesina. I could not be more pleased.”

“…… No, please. It is a great honor for me to marry her to Lord Lucaria. Please take care of my daughter…….”

“Of course.”

Basell, Laura, and Asalge were all smiling, but Oswell was the only one who actually had doubts about the engagement.

 Will this really make Selesina happy? That’s what he is questioning.

As an older brother, there is something unacceptable about a cute little sister marrying a man she doesn’t like. Or maybe it’s just the way Oswell is.

(Asalge went to the Great Temple with Sele and didn’t even turn down the engagement proposal……)

If that were true, I would have yelled at him. But given the fact that the only person who can do anything about the tree that hasn’t bloomed is Lucaria, I can’t do anything about it.

“Is it really possible to exterminate the great tree that never bloomed?”

When Oswell asks Lucaria as if to provoke him, Basell turns bluish. Please don’t try to fight with the head of the temple……

But Lucaria didn’t seem to care about that, and with a smile, he told him clearly, “Of course”.

“It’s impossible for me to do it alone right now, but I can take care of it in a few days.”

“……I see. But you cannot cut it down or pull it out by the roots. How on earth are you going to do that?”

I have heard that it is possible to deal with the great tree that never bloomed, but Oswell and the others have not heard of any way to do so.

I’m sure it’s possible because the head of the temple said it could be done……but I can’t imagine how.

I wondered if there was a secret spell associated with the temple. Or is there a tool that can be used to cut down the large tree that is not in bloom?

But I’ve never heard of such a thing before.

“It’s quite simple,” Lucaria told him.

“I will kill the great tree that never bloomed.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
