61 – Ortaire (3).

The week went by pretty quickly. When I opened my eyes, today was the day I went to Ortaire.

Adilun looked quite excited. It seemed like she was happy to go to the place where I lived.

Seeing Adilun happy made me feel good as well, and the two of us kept a smile on our lips as we headed towards the teleport gate.

“Coming to think of it, the Count or Countess might be surprised to see me.”

“You will surely be surprised.”

You’ll probably be very happy to see Adyllun. I had already imagined that scene, so Adirun and I looked at each other and smiled.

“Is Confucius Huian doing well?”

“Brother, what… … You must be busy with work.”

“Again, spending money on gambling… … Don’t you?”

Could it be that the last National Foundation Day was so intense? It seemed that his older brother was already imprinted as a gambler in Adilun’s mind.

“Fortunately not. With the money I earned at that time, I bought gifts for people in my family and finished it.”

“That is fortunate.”

When she said that, she took my hand.

“Go.”

“Yeah.”

This time, there were only three people, including myself, going to Ortaire. Mina, Adylun, and me to help Adilun. Since we were going on vacation anyway, we didn’t need that many people.

“Then, have a good trip. Adilune.”

“Yes, Father.”

After Adylon greeted the people of Rodenov, he grabbed my hand and crossed the teleport gate. Of course, Mina who follows us too.

When I closed my eyes and opened them, the air around me changed. Instead of a cold, bitter wind blowing… … A slight warm breeze swept past us once.

Adilun seemed to feel the change as well.

“It’s definitely warmer than Rodenov.”

“Come to think of it, is Adylune coming to Ortaire for the first time?”

“Yeah. So it’s amazing. During the National Foundation Day, I rode a carriage and blinked an eye, but the climate didn’t change, so I couldn’t feel it… … I can feel it here. It’s a bit hot.”

“Then, please give me the robe you put on the outside. I will listen Because Mina is carrying a lot of things right now.”

“Ah, thank you. Phishes.”

Adilun looked at me and smiled brightly.

“Welcome, Second Master, and… … Princess Rodenov… … uh?”

The knight guarding the teleport gate looked at Adilun in surprise.

“yes. kyung. Where is your father?”

The reaction we expected came out, but it was very unpleasant for even a knight of a family to stare at Adirun like that, so I spoke to the knight with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

“Ahh. sorry. The Count is currently waiting for the Second Master and Princess Rodenov in the hall of Castle Ortaire.”

“i get it. Let’s go, Adilune.”

“Yeah. Phishes.”

“Oh, and I don’t need any guidance. After all, this is my home.”

“I understand, Bocchan.”

“Then, lady. I’ll be unpacking in the lady’s room first.”

“Thank you, Mina. kyung. If you’ll excuse me, could you take this child to the butler? I just need to tell this child which room I will be staying in.”

“I understand, Princess. Let’s go.”

“Thank you, Sir.”

While Mina and the knight went to the butler, I headed to the hall of the castle with Adilun. The distance of the castle from where the teleport gate was installed was not too far, so we were able to reach the castle in no time.

When I opened the castle gate and went inside, I saw my father, mother, and older brother.

Even though my family members were happy to see me, they were shocked when they saw Adilun next to me.

“Oh my gosh.”

“Princess Rodenov… … Right?”

“Yeah. Long time no see. Count Ortaire, Countess. And even Confucius Huian. Thank you for inviting me to Ortaire.”

Adilun greeted his family with an elegant demeanor. When she raised her head again, a smile appeared on her face.

After a storm of surprise raged, the place was filled with the nagging of father and mother.

“Shouldn’t you have contacted me first if something like this happened, Phissis.”

“sorry. I also don’t have time to contact you because of the northern social gathering. Moreover, it hadn’t been that long since Adilun took off her scales, so I forgot.”

“so? Anyway, Princess Rodenov. Congratulations again. You must have suffered a lot in the past… … I’m so glad.”

“thank you. wife.”

Even after that, we exchanged stories about our current situation… … Before long, Mother called Adyllun aside.

“Well then, Princess Rodenov, would you like to talk with me for a minute? To enjoy a light cup of tea.”

“Ah, yes.”

Apparently, the women had their own stories to tell.

“You see me.”

My older brother grabbed me and started taking me somewhere.

“Well? what’s going on?”

“It’s nothing… … How is your relationship with Princess Rodenov these days?”

“good. The distance is definitely closer than before. Perhaps, unless I make a big mistake, Adyllun won’t treat me like he used to.”

“… … so? happy for once But you, go to your room immediately and deal with the letters piled up in your room.”

“A letter?”

“yes. I can’t burn it carelessly, so I’m leaving it for now… … Since the Foundation Day and Yeongjijeon, a tremendous amount of letters have come to you from all over the place. It seems you don’t know that you’re staying in Rodenov for a while… … Burn it, cut it or get rid of it somehow.”

“Ah, I see.”

“Get rid of it quickly. If Princess Rodenov finds out about that… … Something scary might happen.”

“I know that much!”

After answering that, I ran straight to my room.

* * *

The place I was led by Countess Ortaire was a peaceful-looking garden. Flowers of all colors blended together to create a beautiful scenery, and a small table was placed between them.

Even compared to the winter garden, it didn’t seem to be much bowing, so I let out a groan.

“Awesome.”

“Oh, is it? Thank you so much for that. After all, this is a garden that I tended myself. I did it myself without borrowing any magic or any kind of power.”

“Be great. Growing your own garden is not an easy task… … .”

“It’s okay because I do everything because I like it. Sit down anyway.”

“Ah yes. Come on, ma’am. Can you tell me why you called me this way?”

“To tell you the truth, I wanted to say thank you all along.”

“… … Yeah?”

“Our violent second son started to change thanks to the princess. At first nobody believed it. I was the same. Because I remembered all the riots my second son had been on for the last 20 years. But the second one started to change at some point.”

The wife recalled the past with rather vague eyes.

“At that time, it was probably when I fell off the horse.”

“Am I falling?”

“Yeah. After that, people started acting like they had changed. Also, does the princess know that she went to Rodenov abruptly, saying that she had to apologize?”

“Yeah… … .”

I knew very well. At least Phissis was really close to dying then.

“Anyway, after that, the child started to change in earnest. Any violent or violent tendencies are gone, and servants and maids are unreservedly helpful… … It was to the point where I wondered if it was my son.”

“Is it… … .”

“Yeah. You know what’s more fun? Since then, I have called Phissis separately and talked to them. I wonder if I can believe in your change… … . Then do you know what he said?”

“What did you say?”

“They said they didn’t think it would be easy to buy faith anyway, so they just showed it through their actions. And he said that it was the Gongnyeo who brought about that change. So, thank you. Princess Rodenov. No, Adylune. Thanks to you, my son has changed.”

At her words, I lowered my head in shame. Actually, I didn’t do anything.

Still, to hear that he changed because of me, I was glad for some reason.

“… … It’s too much. Me too, thanks to Physis, I was able to change a lot.”

“Ah, Adilune.”

“Yeah?”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Yeah. Please speak.”

“What do you think of Physis?”

To the Countess’ question that follows, I… … I had no choice but to lower my head and blush.

“aha. okay. That’s fortunate. Even if you get engaged, there are so many people whose hearts are elsewhere… … I’m so glad. Please, take good care of our Phishis.”

“… … Yeah.”

“Ah, then, first of all, we should stop the princesses who are aiming for that child right now, right?”

“Yeah? Are they the princesses you’re after?”

“Oh, look at me. I forgot to tell you this. Now in that child’s room… … It is full of courtship letters from all kinds of princesses from all over the empire. Not my brag, but are Physics usually good looking? What’s more, since he was so active at the National Foundation Day… … The other princesses are in good shape. Anyway, you’d better check that out soon. So that Physis doesn’t have a different mind.”

“… … Yeah.”

I put on a bleak expression without even realizing it, and the Countess looked at me and said,

“Oh my goodness. be full of power Let’s go quickly. I can share more of the story later. Are you going to stay at Ortaire for a while?”

“Yeah. I try to stay as long as possible. Anyway thanks, madam.”

“See you later.”

“Yeah.”

After I said that, I went straight to Physis’s room.
