Some changes have been made due to the publication of the book so we will match the book version from this volume [2nd Volume].

The 7th district will be changed to the 2nd district.

Selesina’s eyes will be rose pink instead of baby pink.

Thank you for your support.

 

 

Marquis Rinklat of the Alvard Empire entrusted the 2nd district [that had nothing in it] of his territory to his daughter.

No, it’s wrong to say that there was nothing.

Because there was a great tree growing in the center of the village and it even had a white flower blooming on it.

Originally, 14 people living in the slums of the town that is adjacent to the village, Harmil, moved to this place and formed a village.

 These days they are full of joy.

“Hisui, today a branch of Picott is opening in the village.”

“It’s exciting isn’t it Lady Sele.”

“Yes, very much.”

Selesina Rinklat was the Lord of the 2nd district where these people had gathered and formed a village.

She was a villainess that had remembered the memories of her previous life in Japan. She had been reborn into the famous fantasy game for girls in Japan called ‘The maiden of Asgarl’.

She had silvery-white hair that could attract people’s eyes and lovely rose pink eyes that you would want to protect.

Her fiancé was the crown prince of this country. She had received queen education ever since she was a child. She was a perfect daughter.

However, she had 1 infallible drawback.

In this world, every person would gain blessings from either a spirit of God.

If you didn’t, it was as if you were disqualified and you would be stigmatized by the public.

Even her parents may have abandoned her……….that’s why Selesina didn’t venture out much and spent most of her time at home.

However, right now she was surprisingly surrounded with positivity.

She was waiting for the day when her fiancé, the crown prince Soratek would break their engagement as she decided to be independent enough to live on her own.

Of course, there was a reason for that as well.

The heroine of this fantasy game was currently rushing down the Soratek route.

If the 2 of them achieve the happy ending then Selesina would be exiled.

If the 2 reach the bad ending then Selesina would die.

If she had to choose one then she would rather choose the happy end so that she would only be exiled. That’s why Selesina was hoping that Soratek and the Heroine would get together.

Hisui put Selesina’s used teacup on the tray and told her that he would now go to prepare.

Selesina’s apprentice butler – Hisui.

He had amber-colored hair and jade green eyes. He had a well-balanced face and was pretty good looking you would probably think that he was younger.

He was the same age as Selesina, 16 years old but shorter than her. The reason for that was his living conditions until now. He is an orphan who used to live in a small hut with barely anything to eat. You need nutrition in order to grow.

Since he became Selesina’s butler, his living conditions and his nutrition improved, therefore he had grown a little taller and his body had become stronger as well.

Once Hisui left the room, Selesina called her maid Anna to help her change her clothes. Today they were going to Selin village.

They would then stay at the house in Harmil after that and visit the village.

‘Yosh, today I’ll do my best as the official lord and not the acting lord–!’

Selesina had become the official Lord of the village and had named the village ‘Selin’.

There were 18 residents in the village including Hisui but if you think that this belonged to a girl that wasn’t blessed then it was pretty good already.

The tree that was growing in the center of the village would grow based on the blessings of the Lord.

The tree that Selesina planted had grown up to 1 meter in length and it also had a beautiful white flower proudly blooming on it with petals layered like a dress.

For Selesina it was obviously very important but it was also very important to the villagers, something to be proud of.

“Lady Sele, we’ve reached the village.”

“Thank you Hisui.”

There was a 2 story building close to the entrance of the village. It was open from today. A branch of the Picott company.

All the houses in this village were single-storied so this one really stood out.  They brought in a carpenter from town and urgently constructed it.

It wasn’t that big though.

There is enough space for 3 employees and to place the goods. There were also 2 rooms prepared at the back to hold business meetings. The interior is simple with no gaudy decoration. The rooms on the second floor were for the employees to stay and work.

It will become bigger and bigger hereafter, Selesina’s heart swells at that thought.

Selesina’s mansion…………..although not grand enough to be called that, was still under construction.

Since it was the house of the Lord it had to be constructed with care, with a good foundation.

The village carpenter Gatz was in charge of Selesina’s house.

Since today was the opening of the store, all the villagers had gathered. There was no shop in the village to date, that’s why they were all looking forward to it.

From the small things available for purchase, they would select the items they would like.

Once they noticed that Selesina had come, they all gathered around her.

“Good morning Lady Selesina.”

“Miss Odette, good morning. Are you out shopping?”

“Yes! We received some money from the profits from selling the potato chips. All this time we’ve lived in slums so going shopping was always a dream……….”

Odette was really happy as she smiled.

Anton, the village chief came out from behind. He had a bottle of Sake in his hand. He was probably drinking with Gatz.

“Lady Selesina, the branch store had opened and it has become this lively.”

“Yes. Everyone looks so happy so I’m really happy as well.”

Since it was the opening day, Nicholas came out from the back once she had finished her greetings with Anton.

He came out since he heard that Selesina had come.

“Welcome Lady Selesina and congratulations on becoming the official Lord of this village.”

“You’re already aware? Information travels fast.”

“What!? Lady Selesina is the official Lord!? That’s a very joyful thing, let’s have a feast at the village today.!”

“Congratulations Lady Selesina!”

Selesina shyly thanked him. Anton and the other villagers happily applauded her.

Reo said that this isn’t enough as he took Eric and Roger outside. The 3 of them were the male youth of the village.

“Grandpa Anton, we’ll go and hunt for some good meat for the feast!”

“Good meat is certainly important.”

“We’ll aim for the big ones.”

The 3 them left the place after declaring that. The feast tonight seems to be fixed.

She was very happy that the villagers were taking initiative for her.

She was the happiest about the fact that she was recognized as the Lord.

“Lady Sele is popular.”

“Hisui, it’s embarrassing so please don’t say that…….”

Selesina touched her red cheeks and looked down. She was happy but she wasn’t used to being the center of attention or being congratulated like this.

For now, Selesina moved on to the next topic.

“Mr. Anton. I’m planning to visit the great shrine. Not immediately, but I still haven’t fixed a date. I won’t be able to visit the village for some time then.”

“Great shrine? Understood. Even if you’re absent, we’ll run the village well.”

“Yes. I’ll leave it to you.”

She also asked about the ages of the children. Once children turn 6, they must be taken to the great shrine for the ceremony to receive blessings.

“That’s right. I’ll check it and tell you later.”

“Thank you.”

The great shrine was in the center of the world and each country had a small shrine. As a rule, the Lord had to be present during the ceremony that’s why Selesina would be attending as well.

Selesina had only been to the great shrine once when she had the blessing ceremony. Since she didn’t have any blessings, she never wished to visit it again.

But it was different now.

‘I want to see the ceremony where the children will get their blessings. So exciting!’

Of course, she might also have blessings so she was looking forward to going to the great shrine and confirm it.

Of course, she was also concerned……….

‘Well, she was already a villainess without blessings so it couldn’t get any worse.’

Selesina decided to feel at ease since she was already at the bottom.
