A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 54

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Soratek felt a little strange as he watched Selesina who had now become the center of the conversation.

Till now she was always called ‘the one without blessings’ so she never took the initiative to attend any banquets.

Soratek was feeling just a little lonely.

“Is it alright to leave Lady Selesina on her own?”

“…………….Wilfred. She seems to be enjoying a conversation with the ladies at the moment.”

Soratek was looking ahead at Selesina who had a prototype of the hand cream in her hand and was talking to other women.

Wilfred understood and looked at Soratek.

“Are you jealous?”

“Fuu,………what are you saying Wil?”

Soratek took a sip of the drink negating Wilfred’s words.

Soratek glared at Wilfred and told him that that wasn’t the case.

“In the first place, there are no men present there.”

There was no reason to feel jealous. Soratek once again denied Wilfred’s words.

Wilfred laughed in response.

“Jealousy doesn’t have to be limited to the opposite sex. Lady Selesina was always by your side before this so it wouldn’t be surprising if you were lonely.”

“Lonely………If you put it like that then I cannot deny it.”

Soratek admitted to his feelings obediently and raised his hand in surrender.

“By the way, what exactly are those women talking about?”

“Ahh, it’s about this hand cream.”

“Hand cream?”

Soratek explained to Wilfred, who seemed deeply interested, what he had heard from Selesina.

She would soon be launching a new brand soon so had brought along a few samples and they were talking about that.

“I see, I see, so she took the initiative to come to a social gathering for that reason.”

Certainly, the best way to start a fashion was to come to an evening banquet or a tea party.

Wilfred always thought of Selesina as a timid lady so he was never interested her………………But his opinion of her had changed after seeing her shoot the monster on the way to the great shrine and after hearing about today’s case. He realized that he had painted a very misguided figure of her.

“That’s a pretty good fiancé.”

“I don’t what you’ve been thinking but Sele is strong. Even though she was stamped as someone with no blessings, she has been my fiancé for the past 10 years.”

“—–!”

Wilfred gasped at Soratek’s words.

“That’s right………..I guess I have been pretty stupid.”

“………Funnn. It’s fine as long as I understand Sele. Her allies will continue to grow hereafter.”

Soratek was a little concerned that a weird bug would attach themself to Selesina. Even right now there were some people who were watching her from afar. 

Soratek always thought that he wanted to marry her quickly.

Wilfred smiled wryly as he watched Soratek who looked as if he had swallowed a bitter pill. His master’s head was full of his fiancé and his love for her.

“In that case, wouldn’t it be good to show the people around that you’re Lady Selesina’s best ally?”

“What?”

“You’ve got that hand cream with you so isn’t there some way to use it? I’m sure that Lady Selesina will be really pleased.”

Wilfred pointed at the hand cream in Soratek’s hand.

Selesina had participated in this evening banquet in order to promote her hand cream so it would be good if Soratek could also promote it amongst his acquaintances.

“How about it? How about you start with me?”

“With you?”

“Yes. Since Lady Selesina has made it, I’m pretty interested.”

Wilfred removed his gloves showed his hands to Soratek.

 His hands were neat and clean. Beautiful hands.

“…………….Your hands are beautiful I’m sure the women would be envious of it.”

“I’m honored to receive your praise.”

Wilfred smiled cheerfully and Soratek resigned to himself and handed him the hand cream.

He had to help her out with promoting it but since it was a present from Selesina………….he didn’t really want to share it with others.

Well, he would surely be told that he was being jealous again though.

Wilfred took an appropriate amount with his fingers and applied it on his hands. The women around squealed. There seemed to be a lot of young women aiming to catch a fiancé for themselves.

However, Wilfred didn’t notice that at all and carefully applied the cream on his hands.

“This is a nice scent. Much more so than I expected.”

“There are many hand creams available with sweet scents but this one is targeted towards men that’s the reason for this kind of scent. It seems to be easy to apply as well.”

“Yes, it is. It’s easy to apply and it’s not sticky. It doesn’t matter even if I put on my gloves immediately after.”

Wilfred nodded and said that once this is launched, he would need to purchase it immediately.

He seemed to have really taken a liking to it.

Soratek was relieved to know that it was liked by a man other than him.

“I’ll let Sele know that you liked it.”

“Thank you. I’m looking forward to the brand’s launch. I’ll recommend it to others as well.”

Since Wilfred was generally well-groomed, Soratek thought that the men that he recommends it to may also be those that take care of their appearance. 

He also thought that it might be a good idea to recommend it to his other aides as well. The one that came to his mind was the completely unrelated Olgren.

“…………..How about Olgren?”

“What are you saying Lord Soratek. There is no way that Olgren would use something like a hand cream.”

“That’s what I had thought as well…………”

Soratek thought about Olgren who wasn’t present here at this banquet, shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
