A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 107

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

That day, a shiver ran through the country.

To no one’s surprise, the engagement between the crown prince, Soratek Lili Alvarado, and Selesina Rinklat was dissolved. At the same time, Selesina’s engagement to the Temple Head, Lucaria, was reported and her marriage was announced.

The town was already chattering about this.

In a matter of seconds, the rumor had reached the village of Selin.

“What, Lady Selesina is marrying the Temple Chief? What do you mean?!”

Guts, holding the newspaper in his hand, shouted that he didn’t understand what it meant. The source of the information was Nicholas, who seemed to be well-informed.

“I don’t understand it either! I can’t believe this is happening……!”

Nicholas was also very surprised and upset.

As a merchant who relies on information, even Nicholas had no idea what was going on. It’s just a matter of time before we get to know more about it.

“Is this something we should be celebrating? What do you think, Nicholas?”

“Hmm…… It’s hard to say…… When Lucaria came to Selin village, Selesina was acting as usual.”

Lucaria seemed to be calm the whole time, and I could tell that the two of them were on very good terms. However, because of their high status, even if they are smiling on the surface, we don’t know what’s going on inside.

-But Nicholas believes that this is not the case with Selesina. He also remembers that she and Soratek seemed to be on good terms.

“I think the best thing to do is to congratulate her, because it is not our business……. Otherwise, I don’t even know why, and I think it would annoy Lady Selesina.”

“…… I see. Lady Selesina is very friendly with us, but she is a noblewoman.”

I’m sure he’s thinking of things that only Selesina would understand, things that he would never have thought of on his own.

But the problem is the village of Selin, isn’t it?”

“Huh? What’s wrong with the village?”

“If she marries Lord Lucaria, Lady Selesina will no longer be a member of Alvarado. Perhaps, she will go to the Great Temple.”

When Nicholas speculated, Guts became impatient, “That’s not good!”

“Lady Selesina’s mansion, though completed, was still to be renovated into something magnificent! That’s why I can’t believe she’s going to the Great Temple…… Even the big tree grew up to be so magnificent, you know? I don’t know if I should say this, but it’s more impressive than the big tree in the town of Halmir!”

“Hey, hey, hey, hey, Mr. Guts!”

Nicholas laughed at Guts’ assertion. He wants to agree with him, but even if he did, there’s nothing he can do about it.

But to tell the truth, Nicholas still wants to do business with Selesina.

The honey sales are increasing steadily, and he wants to make a new hand cream when winter comes.

“…. I can’t help it…… It’s just that fate is unpredictable.”

“That may be true, but……”

“We’ll do our best to keep Lady Selesina out of trouble.”

Nicholas laughed and said, “We’ll be busy.”

“Ughhhh, it never ends!”

In the Selin village mansion, Selesina was in her room screaming at her desk. What she was doing was summarizing documents about the village – or rather, handover documents.

Since I will be living in the Great Temple after my marriage, I won’t be able to come to Selin village as often as I would like. Therefore, the management will be returned to Basell.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

However, Selesina made one selfish request:

to leave the management to Basell, but to remain the owner. She wants to come to Selin Village when she has time, and most importantly, she wants to use the Asgarus system.

“-Asgarus system, [activated].”

The system’s name is Selesina now.

Presumably, if Selesina stops being a ruler…… this system will disappear. If that happens, the acquired skills will no longer be effective.

She would like to avoid that, and since Selin Village is an important place for Selesina, she really doesn’t want to give it all away.

“…… Oh, there’s a lot more people here.”

I’ve asked Anton to organize the party in the village and left it to Leo to make the list. I get reports on a regular basis, but every time I open the system, I’m surprised to see the number of people in the village increase.

Because of this, the village has become much larger. The fields around the big tree are no longer enough, so there is a huge potato field on the outskirts of the village, and various other crops are being grown.

Meat used to be hunted by Leo and the youth group, and now it’s much easier to get meat from the butcher stores as well.

I’d like to make a proper map of the village, but I think I’ll wait until things settle down a bit.

I really wanted to make one myself, but that might be difficult. However, it might be fun to expand my own map little by little when I come to Selin Village.

“…… Moreover, there are skills that can only be obtained in the Great Temple!”

Selesina balled up her fists, thinking about the positives.

As she was trying her best to proceed, it was knocking on her door.

“Lady Sele, tea is ready for you.”

“Wow!”

“Thank you, Hisui, Toi.”

The sweet scent of the tea brought a sigh of relief to Selesina. She has been working on some paperwork and my shoulders have gotten stiff. She turned around and did some light stretching.

“Thank you for your hard work, Lady Sele. How are things going?”

“Somehow. But I’m still sorry I couldn’t tell everyone in the village…….”

This engagement relationship was not something that Selesina could talk about until there was an official announcement. Therefore, everyone knew about it through rumors and newspapers before Selesina could explain.

However, no one blamed Selesina. All they said were words of congratulations and warm words of encouragement, saying that even if she went to the Great Temple, she should come visit …… from time to time.

I felt that I was able to reconfirm my love for this village and this country.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
