Chapter 35

Selesina started to make the preparations needed in order to go to the great shrine once she reached the mansion in Harmil.

“Lady Sele, what do you want to take with you?”

“There is nothing specific that I need, just some clothes and……..”

She suddenly realized.

‘it’s fine to ask Hisui to prepare the stuff for her but it’s embarrassing……….to ask him to prepare underwear!!’

At her mansion in the Royal capital, her maid Anna makes all those preparations. A female servant prepared her stuff in this mansion as well.

Hisui was responsible for managing her schedule and other village related matters.

She needed to bring a female servant with her when she went to the great shrine.

‘But she couldn’t ask Anna or any maids from this mansion to go along with her for village related affairs……’

She wanted to do this later but she realized that she needed to look for a maid in earnest.

“Lady Sele?”

Hisui was curious watching Selesina so deep in thought.

He was wondering if there was some problem.

Selesina smiled and explained the reason to him.

“I have been taking the help of a female servant till now but I think that it’s necessary for me to find a maid for myself. I would like her to help me with the village and come along with me when we go to the great shrine……”

“Maid?”

“Yes. After all, I can’t leave the preparations of my underwear on you.”

Even if she was going to break up with Soratek, right now she was the fiancé of the crown prince Soratek. It wasn’t right to leave the preparations of her underwear to a man.

Hisui immediately understood her explanation.

“It would certainly not be good for me as a man to do that……then how about asking a woman from Selin village to work as your maid?”

“Selin village’s?”

“Yes. She can continue working in the village on normal days but when you go to the village she can accompany you as your maid.”

Hisui’s proposal made sense.

It would be difficult for someone to suddenly become the maid of the ‘daughter of a Marquis’ but if she were to say –

‘You can work as my maid when I’m in the village or when I’m going out for village related affairs’

That would be alright.”

“It might work out well. Let’s discuss it out tomorrow!”

“There are 2 women, Odette and Sofie in the village. I’ll contact Anton first.”

“Yes, thank you.”

It would be startling if they were to suddenly announce tomorrow that they need someone to work as a maid. Hisui would take a fast horse to send a letter explaining the situation to Anton.

Hisui bowed and left the room.

“Yosh! I’ll contact………Lord Soratek about the scheduled date for visiting the great shrine.”

She removed a letter paper from her desk drawer and started to write.

It was still more than a month away so adjusting the schedule shouldn’t be a problem. She also told him that she would like to visit the great shrine since a child of the village needed to attend the blessings ceremony. She also wrote about how many other companions they would have.

She would ask Hisui later to send it in.

“Un, perfect. We’ll be going to the great shrine later so……..there are a lot of things that I want to understand first.”

By managing the land and growing the great tree you can obtain several skills in the Asgarl System.

You can also obtain some at the great shrine so she wanted to acquire them at the ceremony this time.

Some were easy but some were fairly difficult.

“Ah, that’s right. It might slip out of my mind so let’s make a list.”

The quests that can be completed efficiently…

This will also help with the development of the village. Selesina wrote down all that she remembered happily.

The next day –

Sofie and Odette were panicking inside Anton’s house who had told them about the contents of the letter that Hisui delivered.

“We’ll be taking care of Lady Selesina!?”

Odette and Sofie had grown up in a slum so they never thought that they would ever come in contact with aristocrats in order to survive.

But Selesina became the Lord of the village, of the 2nd district and she had an opportunity to speak to her. Moreover, she spoke to them as an equal and not as someone looking down on them. Odette and Sofie were so happy about that that they remembered it as if it had just taken place yesterday.

They remembered how excited they were and how touched they were when she spoke to them.

“………But, Grandpa Anton! We have no knowledge of etiquette so it won’t be easy for us to take care of her! We’re happy……….but we would hate it Lady Selesina were to be humiliated because of us………we’re worried……..!”

The one that was most concerned about this was Sofie.

She was a 20-year-old woman with orange hair tied back in a ponytail. An energetic and happy woman.

“I think so too. Lady Selesina has done a lot for us but I’m worried that I may not be able to serve her well. But, I also feel like I want to do it.”

The one said that she wanted to return the favor was Odette.

She had light chestnut-colored hair that was braided with some of it loose in the front. A 20-year-old woman who is gentle and kind. She also helped with the stalls selling potato chips.

Anton smiles happily when he hears the 2 of them.

“You guys really love Lady Selesina.”

“Of course!”

“That’s obvious!”

Sofie and Odette responded together.

“Ah……”

They looked at each other and laughed when they realized that they had spoken together.

“…….I think it’s better if Odette does it. See, I’m a little hot-tempered and arrogant, right?”

“That………..I can’t deny it.”

“Righttt.”

Caring for Selesina would be something to feel honored about but Sofie frowned a little and then smiled. She couldn’t help her this time.

She wanted to live up to her expectations if she were to do it. However, she had chosen to decline this time since there was someone more suitable than her.

Odette felt a little sorry at Sofie’s words. However, Sofie’s reasoning was true.

“Understood! I’ll take care of Lady Selesina well for Sofie as well! I’ll also teach what I learn to Sofie. That way I’m sure that there will be a day when the 2 of us can care for Lady Selesina together.”

“Odette………”

Sofie’s eyes became warm because of Odette’s unexpected care.

“………Looks like we’ve decided.”

“Yeahh.”

The two of them had completely forgotten about Anton’s existence. They had entered their own world and forgotten about him.

The 2 of them really loved Selesina who had now become their lord.

“Yosh! I’ll do my best and take care of Selin village when Lady Selesina is out and surprise her when she is back!”

“I’ll also do my best to take care of her. I won’t lose to you!!”

Selesina who had heard the exchange outside the door inadvertently was now looking forward to the future of the village.
