“All right, here we go, let’s do it, Hisui!” 

 

As Selesina rolled up her sleeves lively, Hisui gave her his suspicious look calmly as if to say, “What are you up to?” 

It seemed that this apprentice butler had a word to say for Selesina’s unexpected acceptance of Lucaria’s proposal. 

 

‘Well … I decided without telling him.’ 

 

Selesina accepted Lucaria’s proposal in exchange for the never-bloomed great tree that had grown in the backyard of the Rinklat house to be killed. 

She did so without consulting with her family, or Hisui, or anybody. 

 

Selesina was inside her mansion in Selin village. 

Beside her was Toi who was comfortably taking a nap on a cushion and Hisui who was looking at her coldly. 

 

“I know you didn’t have to ask an apprentice butler like me…” 

“Hisui… I’m sorry.” 

“…Don’t mention it. I understand you didn’t have a choice. So, you have nothing to be sorry about.” 

 

However, what his mind understood didn’t necessarily mean that his heart agreed. Hisui looked at her sadly with his hesitant eyes. 

 

“I remember you have said that your engagement with Prince Soratek was going to be broken… Have you predicted this by any chance?” 

“No way! This is totally unexpected!!” 

 

She shook her head hard to Hisui’s question. 

And she recalled that she had told Hisui that her engagement with Soratek would be broken someday. She never thought that would be realized in this way. 

 

“I said that because … Lord Soratek has been on friendly terms with Lady Meria.” 

 

When Selesina told that was why she had thought Soratek and Meria would get together, Hisui gave her an amazed look. 

 

“What are you talking about, Lady Sele? Anyone can tell Prince Soratek loves you so much.” 

“What…?” 

“…What?” 

 

They blinked their eyes together. 

 

“In what way can you possibly tell Price Soratek likes Lady Meria?” 

“………” 

 

Selesina fell silent when she heard Hisui. She had been vaguely aware of it. 

 

‘But if they didn’t get together, I would be executed…’ 

 

That thought had hindered her from admitting it. As a result, she had no choice but to help their good relationship in order not to be killed. 

On the other hand, she wasn’t assured of this country’s future even if Meria became a queen. 

While she was a Japanese who was reincarnated in this game world, it was also a fact that she was born in this world. For Selesina, this country where she was born and grew up was her precious home. 

 

Hisui was baffled to see Selesina fell low. He realized he had put it too strongly. 

 

“I’m sorry, Lady Sele.” 

“Don’t worry, you don’t have to apologize. You see?” 

“…Yes. I’ll go to the shrine with you when you get married. I suppose I can become a blessing priest for protection.” 

“——…….” 

 

Selesina was taken aback by what Hisui said and — turned pale. 

 

‘That’s right! I didn’t think ahead about Hisui’s future and made him an apprentice butler because I had assumed that my engagement with Lord Soratek would be broken anyway!!’ 

 

So she never imagined that she would get separated from Hisui when she married someone else. A great mistake. 

 

‘Well, but can’t the shrine let him be my own priest…!? Or wouldn’t it be better for him to do what he wants for his life?’ 

 

Hisui could start something new with his savings from his salary. He is young enough to do anything. 

 

—–Nevertheless. 

 

‘I’ll miss Hisui if I get separated from him…’ 

 

It would be so lonely and heartbreaking to be unable to snuggle Toi either. 

 

“Please, why do you have to be devastated so much? I’ll be all right.” 

“…I’m not … qualified … to be a master… ” 

“…It doesn’t matter. That’s the reason I’m here for you. I will support you by your side if anything happens.” 

 

Hisui smiled telling her that he would like to continue to be beside her. Selesina got a lump in her throat by Hisui’s kindness and nodded. 

She calmed her down with teatime after the quite heavy talk. She got emotional but collected herself for that. 

 

“By the way, what were you up to do?” 

 

Hisui who sat down opposite to her asked her about what she had said earlier. 

He was having tea with Selesina today as she had asked to. It made him so happy since he usually just served and attended to her. 

 

“Things about Selin village, of course! You know, after I get married to Lord Lucaria, I will no longer be able to take care of the village. I will definitely come and see how it’s going as much as possible…” 

“Oh, I see what you meant.” 

 

It takes 10 days by carriage to get to the great shrine from Selin village. She could do nothing about it but to give in. 

Although she would return her position as a lord to Bethel and have him rule the land…, the great tree’s level on the game system could still be raised and there were many skills left to acquire. 

 

“I strongly wished to plant 100 kinds of flowers around the great tree!” 

“You have had such a magnificent plan like that…” 

“…Yes.” 

 

The level of ‘Sweet Nectar’ gets up by planting flowers around the great tree. 

Its current level was 2 with five kinds of flowers. The flower bees would come and gather honey that was a specialty of Selin village. 

The level will go up to the highest 5 by planting 100 kinds of flowers. Then a divine beast will appear. 

 

To sufficiently enjoy snuggling twice as much … wasn’t a purpose. 

 

‘I wanted Toi to have a bride…!’ 

 

Now, to raise the level of ‘Sweet Nectar’ would be a dream within a dream. 

 

‘Ah, well… Wait a minute.’ 

 

Wouldn’t it be possible that she could collect flowers by exercising her power as the chief priest’s wife at the maximum? It would take time and money to plant 100 kinds of flowers. 

When she finished collecting the flowers, she could ask him to go back home and visit Selin village. 

 

“I hope to see the flower field with you someday.” 

“Right. I don’t know if it’s a few years later or a few decades later…, but I’ll definitely realize it!” 

 

As Selesina declared with spirit, Hisui said with a smile, “I’m looking forward to it.” 

 

“Oh, by the way, do you remember the future schedule?” 

“Of course! It’s the 40th day of the month of Spring tomorrow and the ceremony of blessings for Morris, isn’t it?” 

“You’re right. It will take place at the small shrine in the Royal capital and he is going to arrive there by carriage early in the morning. We’ll join him at the small shrine.” 

“I can’t wait—!” 

 

Morris is a boy of Selin village who has just turned six this month. He is a good boy who has been willing to help water the flowers and the fields. 

He will be the second one in Selin village who has the ceremony of blessings. The number of children has increased as the population of Selin village has steadily increased recently. She might attend the ceremony every month in the near future.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
