Chapter 114
Chapter 114. The price of war is a bitter law (7) + Conflict?! (1) I couldn't hear it well because of the soundproofing, but Kania's spirit beyond the realm faintly caught his voice.
‘...Accepting it is different...
Come to think of it, Arel has been saying this since the old days.
“sister! When I grow up, my goal is to get a moderately secluded estate without working properly, and to live leisurely, slowly, and properly luxuriously!”
I thought it was a joke, but the kid really meant to make it happen.
Did he even consider the situation of being kicked out of another territory as an opportunity?
Arel did not give up and accept the fate given to him, but made it his own.
“....oh my god.”
It was definitely a shock.
How on earth can you accept something different from yourself? I was curious.
And he wondered if he would be able to make it his own while accepting the path ahead like Arel.
That day, Kania made a plan to follow Arel.
It was a perfect plan for her, as her head rotation was on the opposite side of the sword.
Of course, I didn't realize that it made many people sigh after putting it into practice.
As a result, it seems that the engagement issue at the time was somehow sorted out, and the person himself was satisfied.
Of course, he also had a heart to worry about his weaker brother.
But on the other hand, I wanted to follow Arel to see and learn.
As he recalled what he had to do to get his hands on the fate he desired in the future...
and what Arel would go down to that cold territory and show him, Kania realized one important thing.
‘...Is that so? Did I... forget about that?'
Why did he follow Arel?
what did you want to do
And what is the true meaning of the advice Arel wanted to give a moment ago?
Little by little I seemed to know.
‘Certainly, this can't be the case...
Right now, I'm just a pitiful older sister who lives by relying on her younger sister's ability as a lord.
After realizing it again, I felt ashamed for some reason.
‘Yeah, I can't set an example like this.'
I have pride as an older sister.
Haven't you already seen what Arel, the original purpose, will show you here?
All that was left was this time to put it into practice.
“Arel!”
Kania headed to the office at once.
I was going to knock on the door, but it was annoying, so I just ripped it off.
To Arel, who looked at him with a face that wanted to nag at something, Kania said the answer he had decided on.
“I will return to the palace.”
In the end, after much thought, my sister chose to go back.
In fact, after giving advice, I felt impatient that I might have said nothing.
Despite this, the reason I didn't give more advice was because I was patient.
I know that it was a decision she made after thinking it through carefully.
It was because I knew from afar that my sister was walking back and forth in the room all night last night.
“As expected, I will go back to the palace and be recognized properly this time.”
“...If you've been prepared for that, it's fine.”
I decided to say no more and admit it.
Respect the decision.
that's my way
Just in case, even if my sister replied that she would stay in the manor instead of returning, I would have accepted that too.
I also thought of an excuse to present to my father in advance.
I used to think of helping so that no matter which way I chose, I would have no regrets.
Of course that's a secret.
It doesn't make any sense if you tell me that.
The preparations for Kania's sister to return to the palace went smoothly.
It's enough for us to just pack up and send it out with you.
There are many things to prepare mainly in the royal palace.
For now, I told my father that I will send my sister soon, so I will send it as soon as I get a call saying that I am ready.
The only thing I need to worry about is transportation.
It was recommended to simply use the teleport magic circle to make same-day delivery.
Anytime, anywhere, simply in 30 seconds!
Fresh same-day delivery teleport magic!
however.
My sister refused the teleport magic.
“I’ll just take a carriage ride. ....I want to go back slowly while thinking a little bit
.
....What about it? You don't just go slow because you don't want to go home quickly, do you?
For some reason, he remained silent in response to that question.
Sometimes you have to pretend you don't notice even if you notice.
If there was anything else she had to do, it was to say goodbye to everyone here.
Of course, going back and forth one by one takes a long time.
Therefore, I decided to hold a farewell ceremony to send my sister away.
It was a very big and fancy party.
“…Somehow, this looks like a celebration party, isn’t it because of my mood?”
“Is it because of the mood? Isn’t it better to be noisy than depressed?”
Still, I can't just play around and end it.
At the end, as a sign of farewell, everyone quietly saluted the older sister who was sitting in the seat of honor.
At this time, everyone was a bit disappointed.
In the end, there was no problem with my sister's preparations to return to the capital, and soon after, a call came from the capital.
Now is the time to really go back.
Before leaving, I was seeing off my sister in front of the carriage she was riding.
“Have you forgotten anything?”
“Wouldn’t Arel know better than me?”
Well, it's because I took care of all the procedures.
“What are you going to do when you get back?”
“First, I will talk to my mother and father. what to do when you go back Shouldn't it be?”
“It is.”
Did my older sister, who would have made a random accident in the past, wake up to the concept of discussion?
“Is there anything you want to do?”
“Hmm? Come to think of it, there are two sword masters besides me, right? Then shall we aim to beat those two?”
Ah.... You're taking to heart what I said earlier.
Well, if it's the older sister now, if she does well, she might be able to beat them.
“Still, if you train like here, you can’t smash things. You know that?”
Unlike Pahilia, where the surrounding area is nothing but snowy plains, in the royal palace, if you wield a sword incorrectly, a catastrophe will happen.
“More than anything. You know that your sister will have to pay for repairs from now on, right?”
“…I’ll remember it.”
When I pointed out the most realistic problem, he nodded his head saying that he would sincerely listen to my advice.
We talked about this and that until the carriage was ready, and finally it was time for Kania-sister to leave.
“Then I’ll go.”
It looked like he had a lot to say, but unexpectedly, that was the only thing he said at the end.
It's not like you're going anywhere at all.
There is no need to let go while holding the weight.
Waving lightly, my sister got into the carriage.
I watched silently as the wagon carrying her pulled away.
“When I go back, that's when I really need to find out what my older sister has to do. So stay strong.”
I silently recited the words of farewell and turned my back.
A match?! (1)
A few days have passed since my sister left.
“Okay, today our estate is going well.”
I was flying over the territory in a fryer for a little fresh air.
Sometimes I wondered if it would be okay to inspect from the sky.
....It's not that I made a mistake doing a strange experiment in my office and left it to the servants to clean it and ran away because it was full of foul smell.
It's just a coincidence.
“Sooner or later I'll have to build my own secret laboratory.”
Because I can't just do personal experiments in my office every time.
Well, trivial things aside, it's time for a walk now.
“Sometimes the outside air is fine.”
Moderately fresh wind feels good somehow.
Above all, the view from above is worth seeing.
“...Well, it's a little bit strange that most of them are white.”
Most of the land is covered with snow, perhaps because it is cold throughout the year.
It's nice to see the all-white land glistening in the sunlight, but how about it from the lord's point of view?
“Shall we look back? Let's go Fry.”
As I tugged at the reins, Fry roared and flapped his wings.
In the meantime, as the number of residents of Fahilia increased, quite a number of villages were created.
I glanced down at them as I passed them, nodding contentedly.
“Farming seems to be going well. Everyone seems to be doing well.”
Seeing the villagers live a fruitful life from the sky is quite rewarding.
They also didn't seem to care much about a griffon flying in the sky.
Does it mean that there is nothing to be surprised about now that I ride and fly from time to time?
At first, it was fun to watch the griffon open its eyes in amazement as it flew around.
After all, humans are adaptable creatures, and now I don't even flinch when a griffon flies over my head.
“Shall we go back soon? The smell in the office must have disappeared by now....
On the way back to the ship's castle, I saw something strange in the village I happened to pass by.
It seemed that there was a wedding today in that village.
A scene where villagers gather to congratulate a young man and a young woman who have just become married.
“That is proof of peace.”
The biggest proof that Yeongji is running properly is that the Yeongji-min get married and give birth to children without much worry.
It is a sight rarely seen in a poor manor.
“It's a marriage...”
Hmm...
I don't know if it's because of my mood, but Fry's eyes seemed to be watching the scene.
I thought as I stroked Fry's fur.
“Come to think of it, did Fry slowly enter the breeding season?”
It's not that I'm very interested in the ecology of griffons, but generally around this point is when they're in full swing.
For reference, Fry is a male.
“Shall I find a mate?”
When I asked Fry, I wondered if he was happy to hear me, and for some reason, his wings fluttered.
This is a strong affirmation!
....Yes, it was lonely.
Feeling pity for some reason, I quietly patted Fry's back.
Come to think of it, since there are no griffons living in Pahilia, Fry would have almost ended his life as a mother-to-be solo forever.
Apparently, I have to pay a little attention to the mating of our pet griffon.
“I'm going to have to get a female griffon from somewhere.”
I'll have to see if I can find a griffon somewhere.
....If it doesn't work out, would it be okay to bring in at least one lion from a foreign country?
For now, it doesn't matter that the lower body is a lion, right?
Is a griffon a lion in the first place? Are you an eagle? Or is it half and half?
I'm not a genetics major, so I don't know about that.
