A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 62

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The fact that Selesina was blessed by a Goddess was to be announced in a big way at the unveiling banquet at the Rinklat mansion in the royal capital today.

‘I’m not good at being the center of attention………….’

Selesina, the star of today’s banquet was wishing that evening shouldn’t come as she spent her time in her room. Hisui was waiting in the room with her and Toi was taking an afternoon nap at the window.

This scene looked pretty warm and peaceful.

“Lord Soratek will be escorting you today right?”

Selesina nodded yes at Hisui’s question.

“That’s right. I’ll enter the venue after Lord Soratek comes, together with him.”

“Yes.”

This was the first time for Hisui that a party was being hosted at the Rinklat mansion, therefore, there were many things that he had to keep in mind.

As Selesina’s apprentice butler, he had to make various preparations and guide Lord Soratek when he came.

Hisui and Selesina both thought that they were very busy today.

‘Moreover, my dress today is even more luxurious………’

Since it was the unveiling party, both Soratek and Bethel enthusiastically went to the shop.

Both of them wanted to give her a congratulatory dress. For that reason, the dress was twice as expensive compared to usual.

“I’ll bring you another cup of tea.”

“Thank you Hisui.”

Just as Hisui was about to leave the room, Selesina’s maid Anna entered her room. Her face looked incredibly motivated.

“Lady Selesina, let’s get ready for the hot water! Let’s enthusiastically prepare for today!”

“Eh…………………already?”

Selesina was surprised. Because it was only afternoon right now.

“Isn’t that obvious? Hisui, don’t prepare tea, give her fruit water instead.”

“Understood.”

Looks like the bath right now was inevitable.

[Woof?]

“Ah, Toi. Did we wake you up? I’m going for a bath now so you can sleep some more if you’d like.”

From now on she would have to go through some rigorous preparations so Selesina petted his soft fur to energize herself.

This softness was irresistible.

“Lady Selesina, you really like Toi don’t you?”

“Yes. He’s adorable.”

“He surely is adorable but……….”

Anna said and smiled.

‘Ah, that’s right………..Toi was a divine beast. He didn’t get attached to people that easily.’

More like he didn’t get attached to anyone that didn’t hold blessings from a God or Goddess. That’s why it was difficult for a person like Anna who was blessed by a spirit to touch him.

‘He is a divine beast that protects the territory…….’

Toi, with a ribbon around his neck, looked really adorable but if he were to bare his fangs then his strength would be unrivaled.

You shouldn’t ever become his enemy. He was the divine beast.

He may even hold enough power to destroy the Kingdom of Albard.

Selesina was glad that Toi was her ally.

“Lady Selesina, let’s go.”

“Yes.”

She cleaned herself from head to toe in the bath, got massaged afterward, put on some perfume that she received as a gift from Soratek, and turned into a beautiful woman.

“You’re beautiful Lady Selesina!”

“Thank you.”

Her silvery-white hair was beautifully braided for an up style. Some wisps of hair came down to frame her face and neck. She exuded an incredibly dreamy sex appeal.

She wore an empire line dress with folded lace in pale blue and rose pink that matched her eye color.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Selesina was breathless.

‘As expected of the person that the catchphrase ‘Beautiful Lady’ was attached to in the game~!’

She almost fell in love with herself.

Selesina stood in front of the mirror and Anna smiled happily.

“Let’s go to the reception room. His highness Soratek is waiting.”

“Yes, we cannot let him wat.”

When she entered the reception room, Soratek showed her a bright expression.

“Sele! You look great.”

“Thank you Lord Soratek.”

Soratek matched Selesina well and they looked picturesque when they stood next to each other.

Watching Soratek smiling at her so happily Selesina curiously wondered about when he was planning to break the engagement with her.

“It’s finally the day of the announcement. How long have we waited for this.”

“……………………..Since I was known as the one with no blessings, I have brought a lot of inconvenience to you and my family so I’m glad that it will get cleared now.”

People already knew that she had the blessings of a Goddess by now but now that she realized that it would be announced once more………………she was nervous.

‘I have to go proudly as the Lord of Selin village, no, the Lord of the 2nd district.’

Selesina took in a small deep breath and Soratek extended his arm out in order to escort her.

The invited guests were already at the venue waiting for Selesina’s appearance.

When Selesina and Soratek entered the party venue they were greeted with a big applause.

“Congratulations on your blessings!”

“As expected of Lady Selesina………………to have been blessed by the Goddess.”

Those words rang in the venue hall.

There were many guests here today that were close to the Rinklat family. Of course, there were quite a few guests here that disliked Selesina as well and were glaring at her.

They were all smiling on the surface but she didn’t know what they were thinking internally.

‘There are many here that want me to be dumped as Soratek’s fiancé…………’

There were many that wanted their daughters to be wed to Soratek…………..

Of course, Selesina didn’t bother about such things. Unfortunately, the crown prince was bound to the heroine, Selesina thought.

Of course, people wouldn’t tell her that straightforwardly.

“Sele, this way.”

“Father.”

Bethel had been waiting for Selesina beyond the wave of people.

Next to him was her mother and her brothers.

“Marquis, I’ve been looking forward to today’s unveiling party.”

“Thank you your highness Soratek. The fact that things have turned out this way and we know that she has indeed received blessings is because you went to the great shrine together with her.”

Soratek exchanged greetings with Bethel and also with her brothers.

The eldest son of the Rinklat family. Oswell Rinklat.

He was a strong man with short ash-grey hair. He stayed at the dormitory at the Royal Castle and worked with the knights. 

Since it was Selesina’s announcement today, he had come home after a long time.

The 2nd son of the RInklat family. Asalge Rinklat.

He had lightly pigmented golden hair and baby pink eyes. Unlike Oswell, he commuted from home.

He came home late in the night every day so Selesina and he couldn’t meet each other generally.

“Sele, I couldn’t really come back home these days. Congratulations on your blessings!!”

“I couldn’t really meet you these days either but congratulations Sele, As expected of my sister.”

“Thank you, brother Oswell and brother Asalge.”

The two brothers congratulated her several times and spoilt her.

They had met their sister after a long time so they wanted to spoil her.

However, Bethel put a pause to all that.

“The greetings are fine but the unveiling banquet for Sele comes first.”
