Selesina sank into the bathtub. Lots of things had happened today so she was really tired.
She sank inside the bathtub and came up when she needed the air.
āFuaaaa! A bath is the best!ā
She leisurely massaged her feet and activated the Asgarl System.
Selesina Rinklat
UP! Great Tree Owned: Level 5
Guardian Beast: Toi
Territory Owned: Albard Kingdom, Rinklat Territory District 7
UP! People: 18
Great Tree Skill
Fertility Blessings Level 3 -Vegetation grows well in a 25-meter radius around the great tree and soil quality has improved.
Sweet Nectar: Level 2 ā The great tree emits a sweet scent and attracts butterflies and bees.
Blessings of the Amulet Level 1: No monsters come within 1 KM of the great tree.
Territory Named: Yield increases
Specialty of the village: The recognition of the village increases
āItās growing pretty well considering that itās the territory of a villainess.ā
She couldnāt stop smiling.
First, the great tree grew from Level 3 to Level 5.
If visitors come to the village then the Level will increase to 4 and it will go up to 5 when more residents come to stay in the village. The reason that these 2 requirements were fulfilled was due to a merchant named Nicholas who came to the village.
He visited the village, had some business conversations, and even moved 3 of his employees to this village.Ā They had to open a branch office first and then open a branch store in a little while.
The new skill that she acquired, āAmuletās blessingsā is acquired at Level 5, she clearly remembered. She wanted to get it as fast as possible because it prevented the invasion of monsters within a certain radius just as it was hinted by the name.
It could go up till Level 3. In order to reach Level 2, you had to defeat 200 monsters and 3000 in order to reach Level 3.
āBut if you reach Level 3 then monsters wonāt come within a radius of 2.5 KM.ā
There were many children in Selin village so she wanted to increase the level to ensure their safetyā¦ā¦ā¦..but it couldnāt be helped that Selesina didnāt have any battle prowess.
If she were to practice archery then could she be able to defeat weaker demons from far away?
For now, sheāll hold this thought and consult it with Hisui later.
Anyway, this was the present condition of the village.
They didnāt sell honey but Anton said that they made good income by selling potatoes.
āNextā¦ is to let the great tree grow well and my left eye.ā
There was also the thing about Meriaā¦ā¦ā¦..but it would be better to consult her father about this. Selesina couldnāt selfishly decide on her own about the thing with Meria.
āā¦ā¦ā¦But, a flower did bloom.ā
How would her father react?
He wanted her to stay in the mansion so would he dislike the fact that a flower had bloomed? Or would he give her words of encouragement?
Selesina got out of the bath, got dressed, and went to her fatherās study with Toi and Hisui in order to report everything that had happened.
She took in a deep breath and knocked on the door. Bethel called out, āCome in.ā
āExcuse me.ā
āSele!ā
The moment she entered, he loosed his strict face and smiled instantly.
āAh? A good mood!?ā
She wondered why but it became clear to her once she heard his next words.
āI wanted you to show me your white flower Sele. I never imagined that the tree would bloom this quicklyā¦ā¦..ā
He was so deeply moved that there were still tears in his eyes. He was incredibly happy that Selesina was able to get the great tree to bloom.
He hugged Selesina was stroked her head.
āIām really sorry that I told you strictly that it was impossible for youā¦ā¦ā¦..earlier.ā
āFatherā¦ā¦ā¦no. You didnāt abandon me even though I had no blessings but raised me so preciously. Iām really happy about that.ā
It wouldnāt be strange if he decided to abandon the child that didnāt have any blessings. Selesina hugged him back and expressed her gratitude.
āThank you.ā
Once they had calmed down, they sat down on the sofa and Selesina started to report.
Selesina was going to give him all the details but since he told her that he also wanted to see the white flower, she smiled as she realized that he already knew about it all.
She obviously told him about Meria and checked with him whether she should respond to her or leave it to Bethel to respond.
āYouāll become the official Lord of the 7th district hereafter so Iāll leave it to you hereafter but Iāll respond this time.ā
āUnderstood. Thank you, father.ā
āā¦ā¦..Earl Saltimal is an old friend of mine. He raised his son strictly but he is weak to his daughter Meriaā¦ā¦ā¦..he listens to any selfish requests from her.ā
This was definitely trouble, Bethel smiled.
āEspecially because his wife died you knowā¦ā¦ā¦.Well, but that doesnāt excuse the fact that he lets her do whatever she wants though.ā
Bethel wanted Earl Saltimal to put his foot down so he promised to talk to him very soon.
He would let me know the result later.
āUnderstood. However, Lady Meria would also be feeling very troubled.ā
āAh, even so, we canāt just leave it be right?ā
āOf course, I do understand that.ā
There was still one important topic remaining.
āAbout your left eye Sele. Right now it looks normal but it was different when the flower on the great tree bloomed right?ā
āYes. Lord Soratek said that we should visit the great shrine onceā¦ā¦.ā
āThatās right. I always thought that you donāt have any blessings but maybe youāre loved by some amazing God.ā
That was certainly an exaggeration butā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦. she couldnāt say it. The phenomenon of the selection choices appearing before her was nothing short of amazing.
āI donāt understand why that selection was available only thenā¦ā¦.ā
There were lots of things that she wanted to know.
She didnāt know if the mystery would be solved by going to the great shrine but maybe they could gain some understanding.
āI would also like to go with you but I canāt leave for a long period due to work. Iāll have to have to leave it to his majesty Soratek.ā
āYes.ā
āAnd thenā¦ā¦.ā
He turned to Hisui who was waiting behind Bethel and then to Toi who was sitting there like a good boy.
āBoth of you, Selesina might face many things hereafter. Please continue to support her.ā
āOf course master. Iāll do my best to be of help to Lady Sele.ā
Hisui looked at Bethel directly and said with determination.
Toi extended his front foot out in a determined pose and a determined look on his face.
[Woof!]
āHaha, how reliable!ā
Bethel stroked Toi and told asked him to take care of Selesina.
āIāll leave it to you, Hisui, Toi.ā
Selesina smiled with joy and was powered up to continue managing the village.
