Selesina looked at the information about the developed village lying on the bed in her room. 

One skill was gained as the honey had gotten a Royal warrant. In addition, the number of residents was 36 more than 100. 

Furthermore, the new skill ‘Purveyor to the Royal Family’ would increase tourists. There would be more comings and goings of people in Selin village and probably more residents too. 

‘Place for Peace of Mind’ was the skill that was gotten by the hospital built in Selin village, which could assure health aspect even more. 

‘It’s amazing…’ 

The village really seemed to go well without her already. 

Selesina got out of bed and went out on the balcony. A night breeze was still cold enough to clear her head. 

As a matter of fact, talks with Lucaria were completed today. 

They were not between Selesina and him but between her family and the Albard Kingdom. As a result, Selesina was going to marry Lucaria according to the initial plan. 

“…Well, I guess it’s reasonable.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

While she loved Soratek, she hadn’t thought she could marry him in the first place. And so, she didn’t regret particularly. 

If anything, she had had Anna prepare her profile to marry someone else at first. 

The night sky was filled with shining stars contrary to her feelings. It was so beautiful that she could look at them forever. 

“…Lord Soratek. Thank you for having let me be with you as your fiancee so far.” 

Selesina bowed with gratitude as if to pray beneath the stars that were watching her. 

“Oh, there are so many new buildings! And I smell freshly-baked bread, too!” 

“A hospital, a bakery, and a flower shop… Various shops filled the village fast. An inn is being built now. Carpenters are coming in for help from Harmil and other towns.” 

Soratek who hadn’t been to Selin village for some time was marveled with his eyes opened wide how many buildings and people had increased. 

He was excited more than usual and looked around restlessly. 

“It’s incredible! Do you know how difficult it is to develop this much in a year the place where hardly had anything?” 

“Thank you so much. I think one of the reasons was road improvement that my father has worked on has been going well.” 

Selesina’s father Bethel had been improving roads as his work for a long time. Since a road was constructed where there used to be grassland, coming and going between the village and other towns had become easy immensely. 

That was why many people could visit Selin village. 

Seeing her father’s work go well made her happy as a daughter. 

While she was showing Soratek around the village by walking with him, he stopped with an inexplicable look. 

“Lord Soratek…!?” 

Wondering what happened, Selesina followed what Soratek was looking at and found … the great tree with a spring. 

‘That’s right, I haven’t told Lord Soratek about the spring around the great tree.” 

He had every right to be surprised. 

“Se, Se, Se… Seli? What’s that great tree…? It’s so holy…” 

“…It had gotten tall, too.” 

“That is not all, is it!?” 

Selesina’s great tree had grown rapidly as the residents increased. It was taller than Selesina’s height and served as shade with pleasant sunlight through the leaves. 

Soratek timidly approached the spring. He crouched and peered in as if he had been a small animal. 

The water of the spring was clear enough to make its bottom and the root of the great tree visible. While small fish swam in it, nobody had dared to catch them as it was the great tree’s holy spring. 

Yet, there had been some suggestions at the guard station lately that a guard should be placed to prevent mischief. 

This great tree was very important to the people of Selin village. 

“…I can’t help feeling excited … to imagine that I’ll grow the great tree of the royal castle with Seli in the near future.” 

“—–Ow!” 

“Seli?” 

“Oh, no… Never mind, please.” 

She was agitated carelessly by Soratek’s casual remarks. Although she shook her head and smiled hurriedly, he might get suspicious. 

‘But I heard His Majesty would tell Lord Soratek…’ 

He would learn that their engagement was to be broken off a little bit later.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
