Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The unveiling party was successfully over and it was now the day after the party.

Selesina was tired as expected and was spending the day relaxing at the mansion in the Royal capital. The plan was to leave for Harmil the next day and then go to Selin village.

She looked out of the window to see Hisui and Toi were playing together in the garden.

‘Ah, looks fun.’

She really wanted to join them but she was the graceful daughter of a Marquis so she couldn’t do that……………. she shrugged her shoulders.

‘It’s fun even just looking at them.’

A few minutes after Toi started frolicking around a person on horseback hurriedly rushed into the garden. What was the problem? The person that had rushed into the garden on horseback was Odette from Selin village.

“Did something happen to the village?”

If that wasn’t the case, Odette wouldn’t need to rush here on horseback.

Not in a carriage but on a horse. There was certainly some emergency in the village. Maybe the reason why Odette had come in was that the servants of the house knew her.

Selesina hurriedly left her room and went to the entrance.

Hisui brought Odette inside.

“Lady Selesina!”

Odette rushed over to her crying. Just as Selesina had expected, something big was sure to have happened in the village.

Selesina gently consoled the out of breath Odette and calmly asked her.

“Odette, what happened?”

“………Monsters……………near the village, monsters have come!”

“MONSTERS!?”

[WOOF!?”

Selesina and Hisui were shocked and Toi barked in surprise.

Till now, the village had never been damaged by monsters before. Selesina suppressed her distress and checked with Odette.

‘Since we have the skill ‘Blessings of the Amulet’, there is no way that the village has been invaded.

The skill ‘Blessings of the Amulet’ at Level 2 ensured that no monsters could come within 3 KM of the great tree.

The damage had to be outside the village.

“There is no damage to the village.  When Reo, Eric, and Roger went for a hunt, they were greatly injured. We went to the town of Harmil and asked for a doctor to treat them.”

“Is there any danger to their lives?”

“No.”

Apparently, they were seriously injured but they were conscious.

Selesina was relieved to know that they were conscious as she proceeded to ask about the village.

“What happened to the monster?”

“……………..It would be dangerous if the monster were to enter the village so Gatz and some guards went to subdue the monster. But it seems to be a very strong monster…………”

Could they win? Or would they lose? They might be even seriously injured. Odette and the other villagers were really worried about Gatz and the others.

“Of course we stopped them. However, it would be dangerous for all the villagers if the monster were to invade the village so…………….”

“……….Is that so? Thank you for explaining the situation to me Odette. You did very well coming all the way here to inform me.”

“Yes……………..!”

As expected, due to the game’s skill, the monster hadn’t entered the village! But she couldn’t tell them that.

‘In the first place, no one other than me knows about the game so there is no reason for them to believe me.’

She had to quickly increase the level of the skill ‘Blessings of the Amulet’ and have a village doctor for times like these.

There were just too many things that needed to be dome. Selesina held her head.

But, this wasn’t the time to worry about that.

“Let’s head to Selin village immediately! Hisui, please prepare the carriage.”

“Yes!”

[Woof!]

While Hisui and Toi were out preparing the carriage, Selesina tried to calm Odette down.

Anna and the other servants had come over after hearing the commotion and handed over some water to Odette.

“Thank you.”

Odette took a breather and Anna looked at Selesina.

“………..Isn’t it dangerous to go there when a monster had appeared? Isn’t it fine for you to stay in the mansion and give out the instructions Lady Selesina?”

“Thank you, Anna. But I’m a Lord so at times like these…………such important times, I must go there. Besides, there is the great tree in Selin village so I will be protected.”

“That’s true but………!”

Anna was worried about Selesina and shook her head.

Anna had been serving Selesina for the longest time and felt that Selesina was a princess that needed to be protected.

However, she wasn’t a princess but a Lord instead.

Selesina didn’t say anything and looked at Anna with a majestic smile.

The quickly hurried to the village to find an injured guard.

“Lady Selesina!”

“Are you alright!?”

When she rushed to him, the guard bowed to her and apologized.

He was biting his lips and looked extremely apologetic.

“We were dispatched to this village in order to protect it but it wasn’t worth it…………………..”

“That’s not true. You bravely faced the monster that not something that not worth anything.”

“…………Thank you.”

The guard raised his head and informed them that Gatz and the others were still fighting the monster.

“Eh, the monster that came up near the village is the ‘Rock Snake’!?”

Selesina trembled when she understood who the enemy was.

The rock snake was a snake that was made entirely of rock. Its defense power was quite high and ordinary iron swords couldn’t hurt it at all.
