[Greetings, Mother. Iām Aris. Itās getting colder and colder, and Iām just curious about how my distant mother is doing. Iām worried that my sisters are doing well at school, that my grandmother is doing well, that sheās been home for a long time.]
[I think youāre probably worried about how your daughter is doing. Donāt worry about me. Iām doing well, and the First Lady still loves me very much. She praises me that Iām a good worker and she strokes my hair sometimes.]
[Last time, the princess herself was rewarded for doing such a great job welcoming such important guests. Of course, it was possible because of the efforts of all of you other maids, not just me. Oh, actually, itās been a long time since Iāve sent you a letter because I have something to tell you.]
[Actuallyā¦ I think I need to quit this job. Of course, itās not something I can just quit, but I was able to leave thanks to the strength of the person I told you about earlier. I didnāt know anything and I didnāt learn anything, but I found out that he wants me so hardā¦. I had no choice but to follow him.]
T ran sla t e d b y ļ½p mtl .coļ½ [It might be a bit misleading. Iām not saying heāll take me as his concubine! Of course, I wouldnāt have wished for thatā¦ But right now, Iām just happy to be with him. Ahh! And donāt worry too much, Iāll continue to pay your bills. Anywayā¦ I feel like something important is about to start. I feel like my life is about to change. Iām not sure what yetā¦ Ah. Itās time to go. Weāll talk more about it in the future! Iāll write to you again later, Mother. Be healthy!]

[Aris posted from Lindell.]
[Iām here at Lindell. Mother! Itās a free city where foreigners live. Itās full of curiosity. The person I told you about the other day sent me here personally. Iāve never been on a Griphon in my life, and Iām so nervousā¦ I was lucky to arrive safely. Everyone in this room is nice and nice.]
[I canāt believe Iām with them because theyāre all capable wizards and swordsmen. And the rumored dragon saw it with his own eyes! It was so big and so majestic, and I let go of my leg.]
[Itās actually a little scary. Itās not a dragon, itās just the way I am now. Suddenly, the environment changes because itās unfamiliar to people like me. Long, golden hair that the town boasted about was cut with short hair and cut with a sword that didnāt look like it was fit for the first time.]
[I look in the mirror and I feel like someone else is standing. Of course, I was relieved that he said he was a good fit, but I still canāt show you how to be a woman. I feel uneasy because I donāt think I can meet my expectations. Iām just curious about what I can do.]
T ra ns l a ted by ļ½p ļ½ t l.c om [Andā¦ I donāt know why, but I felt hated by some wizard here. The little dragon hates me. Even priests are cold, so I donāt know what to do. What did I do wrong? Iām used to being hated, but I want to get along with them, and Iām so worried. I wonder if you donāt like my low profile. I canāt help but feel a little bitter.]

[Aris posted from Castle Rock.]
[Iām in Castle Rock! And itās been a long time since Iāve seen him. Iāve actually heard a lot of stories. Iāve learned many things. I couldnāt understand everything he said, but I didnāt think I was wrong. I thought he was unusual, but who knew if he was thinking that much? I wondered if Lady Benigore had sent us a lion.]
On the second day, I met Earl Castle. He told me not to say anything, but I could hear the Earl going into the room separately and the Earl having a loud discussion.]
[I was a little anxious, but Earl Castle seemed to agree with him. The baby Marilyn has been very angry recently. It may seem like somethingās come up, but itās not something I care about. Iām glad things ended well for you.]
[Iāve heard rumors that Duchess Kathryn and the Earl Elise are headed to Castle Rock. I thought it was okay, but itās getting bigger and bigger than I thought it would be. even more so because weāre about to give an important speech tomorrow.]
[I intend to work hard. As much as the people who are working for the Empire, I must do my best as possible. I think the next letter will be posted somewhere else. You need to stay healthy. I made a little bit of money today. Donāt be surprised. Donāt tell anyone. Itās not bad money, so rest assured. Iāll cut it short.]

[Post Aris in an unknown place.]
[Did I mention my first speech ended well? Iām a little distracted, so Iām confused as to whether he wrote me a letter. Heās already given his fourth speech, unlike worries about how well he can do it. I was trembling and worried, but I was encouraged by the enthusiastic cheerleaders. And I think Iāve gotten a little used to it now.]
[Until now, I thought I just had to do what He told meā¦. I think Iāve started to change my mind a little bit lately. Yeah, Iām under his influence, too. It made me feel like I had widened my gaze at the world, not just the background around me. In fact, I havenāt seen him since Castle Rock. But when I look at the book that he gave me, I always feel like Iām with him.]
This must all be the will of Venegor, right? Iām not the only one whoās changed. Number one, number two, number three. With each passing moment, I feel like peopleās cheers are growing a little bit. Yeah, everybodyās changing.]
[Itās been a long day since he came back for me. I heard youāre coming with Cardinal Baselā¦ I think heāll tell you another important story. I donāt know if I should be in this position. I keep thinking that, but if heās right, it wouldnāt be weird for me to raise my voice. Iāll write you a letter, Mother.]

[I had a meeting with the eight seats of the Empire. Now that one of you isnāt there, youāre probably right to say seven. Heh heh. Unlike I didnāt understand anything at first, I can now understand what they were saying. I was lucky that I was doing well. I thought we had to be desperate.]
[You shouldnāt be lacking in speech every day. Of course, Iām going to give another speech today. Today itās for foreigners. Iām afraid they will accept me, but the Seven Kingdoms smiled and welcomed me. Iām sure the estramorwn will love me, too.]
[The Queen of Mercy and the Lady of Mercy welcomed you with open arms. Especially since she nodded quietly and I still wonder what that means. Rumor has it that he can see the future. Is there anything good going on in my future? Perhaps you will enter his concubine! That could be it!]
[I was reminded of this, but I heard that he is speaking with the Empress now. Yes, that charlia. I knew that Charlia was craving him, but I never thought she would move like this. Fortunately, he didnāt seem to have much interest in her. That dog # # # is dead # is # # good # ten # #, right? Ink spilled. Heh heh. Itās nothing, so donāt worry about it.]
And did I mention in my last letter that I met with Cardinal Basel? Yes. Luckily, I was able to talk to Cardinal Basel. In the beginning, I didnāt think he was worried because he was so close with Cardinal Baselā¦ Cardinal Basel nodded his head as expected. He asked me to shake his hand, and he said, well done. This is what he said. In fact, Cardinal Basel may be crowned Pope when this is all over! Of course itās a secret! Mother!]

[Mother, itās been a really long time. Itās been a short time, but itās been so chaotic. It was a bit of a distraction. I didnāt have time to write. I donāt think there will be any economic difficulties because I put a lot of money into my life last time. You havenāt used them all, have you? It canāt be her personality.]
[I have a lot to say, but I donāt have much time, Mother. I just wanted you to know that Iām okay. Just in case, Iād like to set aside my living money today. Donāt be so surprised by the money he gave you. And burn all the letters Iāve sent you. Donāt tell anyone. Please, sir. You have to burn them all. Everything.]

[I think I know what Iāve been given. Mother, weāve already come this far to chase after him in a frenzy. Iām still speechless, actually. Itās hard to understand all of His words and I donāt know whatās going on right now, but as time goes on, I feel the mission is to help at least this little force. He told me that I seemed to have changed. Heh heh. Of course, I was still relieved that you said, āAris is Aris.ā]
[Of course, I got to know him a little better. I was ashamed to say this, but I was able to make a small kiss with him. I donāt know if he likes me. I actually had the courage. I still havenāt forgotten the look on his surprised face. I think what Iāve been doing has made me strong.]
[If it were normal, I would never have been able to move like thatā¦ Heh heh. Anyway, he didnāt look that bad either. He patted me on the shoulder. After that, I thought I was hated by the Wizard, but I couldnāt hide my heart anymore.]
[I actually liked it a little bit at first. All I could think about was how good it would be to be in his concubine. Heās talented. Heās compassionate. But as I spent time together and worked toward the same goal, my heart grew bigger and bigger and I couldnāt handle it.]
Tr ans l a t ed by jpļ½tl .com [Ah, of course, itās not just about him thatās grown. The same is true of my heart for the Empire. Did I tell you I had a mission? Yeah, I had a better mission than I do now. I was born a humble man, I grew up a humble man, but there was no such thing as a humble life in the world. He said it himself.]
[My brothers and I and my mother and my grandmother are all the same. The princess and I are the same. He must have known this a long time ago. Thatās why he respected me. Unlike Charlia.]
[Mother.]
[Maybe we should do something that could be dangerous. Not just me, but my comrades who share my will will be in danger. But donāt worry too much. I would risk my life to make an empire for my mother and sisters to live in. He said that when you have to bleed, you have to bleed. Yeah, I was scared at first, but Iām not scared anymore.]
[As much as the tears he shed for the Empire to sacrifice, I am ready to throw everything away. I wonāt let tears come out of his eyes anymore. Never.]
[Yes, never. By giving up everything I have.]
[Iām ready to throw everything. Even if I die, the blood I shed for the Empire will be fed on the future.]
[Mother.]
[Iām going to fight. Correct any misconceptions during that time, and for democracy. For the greater good. We will fight for the sacred democracy.]
[Never come out after three days.]
[Do nothing and stay home. Maybe my people will go that way. Theyāll protect you and your sisters. Iāll tell you again.]
