Chapter 46

Chapter 46: 46

I undone my traveling costume and boiled water for four. Once they’ve each wiped their bodies in their own room, it’s dinner in the dining room. Dinner is served with rose (pork) salted meat and lentil-like bean soup, unfermented bread and wine to it. It’s pretty fancy when we’re there, but let’s see if it fits Deanna’s mouth.

“I’m sorry I had to say this. I hope it fits your mouth.”

I thought I’d carry it to my fearful mouth a little more, but Deanna put it in her mouth without hesitation.

“… what do you say?

Look at that. I’m more afraid than you are. So I heard.

“It’s delicious!

Let Amber’s eyes shine, Deanna says. But you noticed you were surprised around.

“Oh, su, excuse me…”

It gets squishy right away.

“No, if it was in your mouth, it’s fine. Everyone was just worried that it would fit this lady’s mouth.”

“Well, I don’t know about this young lady.”

“Well, it’s best if the meshi tastes good. I don’t think I’m willing to do anything.”

I call it smudging. Even when my job was sloppy in the previous world, I could handle it if I ate delicious meshi.

“Eizo had a shitty meal, too. Are you?

Thermia comes on topic.

“Well, many times.”

“Really? Atashi thought Eizo had only eaten delicious meals all along.”

“That’s not true. For example…”

I start talking about the world before, and I don’t know it. This is how dinner on this day is served on the topic of “What Was Much Fucked About Eating”. Deanna was also cheering up the place by talking about eating “delicacies,” meat that she didn’t know what was pretty bad.

At the end of such a fun dinner, I cut the story out. I was a little confused as to whether to ask about the details, but it would be even more so now if I got here.

“Now, can you tell me why Mr. Deanna was to be chased after the capital?

Deanna was a little hesitant, but soon

“Okay. So…”and began to talk to each other.

Deanna’s (and Marius’) home is Count Amur, who rules the territory, including around the city where we go. Count Amur had three sons and one daughter (about Deanna, of course): his eldest brother, Lion; his second brother, Karel; and his third son, Marius. Naturally, it was his eldest brother, Lion, who was supposed to succeed the Count’s housekeeper. About a month ago, Count Amur and Lion took private soldiers out to crusade a bunch of demons who said they had gone out near the border.

If it was meant to be, Lion shouldn’t have had to leave to the Count anyway, but it seems it was time for the Count to hide completely and let Lion take over all of his real rights, which also made sense for that demonstration. Conversely, it should have been assumed that the crusade of the demons that emerged would not be a big deal if they did not move the National Army, only private soldiers, but also the Count and his trail himself.

But that prediction was totally betrayed. Count, both Lyons were killed, private soldiers were devastated and defeated, and when they returned alive, they said, “If I did, a strong demon would have defeated everything”. But Marius, who returned after the murder report, looked into it and found a number of suspicions. From the point of view of Marius, who has seen numerous ”slashed” bodies as guards, neither the Count nor Lion seemed to see that the wounds received were nails or fangs, and in the first place he asked, “Was the outbreak of the demon itself true?” Suspicious from the point of view of Marius.

Well, then it’s Karel who’s suddenly suspicious of Russia, but naturally he doesn’t tail out easily. If you keep your mouth shut, the housekeeper’s inheritance rights will come to Karel… they were supposed to. But there’s a big problem there. When we checked the records, Karel and Marius had the opposite order of inheritance. Because Karel is the son of his concubine and Marius is the son of his rightful wife, the order of inheritance changed at the time Marius was born. The fact was recorded by the recording officer, but since the woman, the mother, died when she gave birth to Karel, all four of them were raised in the house as sons of their rightful wives.

Then Karel tries to impersonate Marius with that or this to make his inheritance rights his only. but Marius naturally guarded in another town the whole time before and after that. It is very difficult to take command as there was a ploy. So far, there’s been a lot of staring, and sometimes Karel puts a little light on Marius, which is the current situation in the capital. However, this also took too long, and when Uncle Amur’s absence is prolonged, it can be title-stripping, etc., so it seems that it is time for one of them to move, but it is.

It seems that Deanna is being targeted because Deanna is also a legitimate wife’s son, for example, and if she takes some noble son as her son-in-law, then inheritance rights may change at that point, so let’s rule it out now. So Marius (probably) deposited it with me and said that Karel had just been attacked when he sensed that he had sent it away in an attempt to keep Karel safe until he had done something about it.

“Hmm.”

I thought about it. Then it wouldn’t be a week or two to keep Deanna. I don’t have a problem with our nostalgia, but I wonder if Deanna can stand it. Mr. Marius and Deanna are both Count people. But now I know why Mr. Marius is oddly eye-catching for just a guard, and why he passes through the microscopic inside the city walls.

“I would say the capital… or I could tell both about Mr. Marius and Mr. Deanna’s situation. On top of that, I don’t have a problem keeping Deanna with us, but is Deanna okay with that?

Maybe I should keep my hips down more than I know I’m a nobleman, but changing my attitude is also something, so I’ll keep it that way.

“I wish I knew something.”

Deanna reacted to what I said about Bosoli.

“Oh, with that said, Mr. Camilo, I was keeping that letter.

“Read that and you’ll see…?

“Yeah, probably.”

“But I don’t want to peek into other people’s letters.”

“No, it’s about me, so you won’t mind. I’ll bring it.”

Stand up now, Deanna disappearing into the guest room.

I looked at it and thought, “Maybe I like the life here,” and so on.
