Chapter 5 (1/2)

In the end, I was only person who volunteered

……Have I… done so to them?

It appeared that I wasn’t the only person taken aback by this phenomenon The nobles also had troubled looks on their faces

“Are-Are there any other applicants?”

They repeated the question over and over and over again When they finally perceived that there was no one else, still unwilling to give up, they left behind the words ‘if anyone changes their mind, report to the domain lord’, and closed the curtain to this commotion

He was a gentleant moustache immaculately dressed in clothes of fine quality He had a beautiful posture and there were traces that he surely

My consciousness had all been absorbed into the bathall other related inforree of austerity and refinedness To tell you the truth, I had a huge liking for older people

“I would like to head to the capital ie?”

“That will be unnecessary”

I shi+fted my eyes towards the wheeled suitcase atI owned

“Why, you’ve already made preparations to head to the capital already?”

The entleman raised his voice in surprise He seemed to have perceived that I had come here with a considerable amount of resolve and preparation, and the uneasy expression that had followed him the entire time finally cleared

While the gentleman talked to the doe It had face to face seats that could easily seat four people and small curtained s on both sides

I then turnedI cal, and after confire, I quickly wiped the seat Just as I was putting the dust cloth back into entlee door and peered in

“Thanks for waiting……What are you doing?”

“It’s nothing Please do not worry about it”

“I ah……”

Sure enough, you want to know, huh Please just let it slide, okay? If you keep picking on the s you are, you’ll never be popular, you know?

“It’s a foreign good luck charm”

“I see”

You're already satisfied with that answer? What an accepting person

When I didn’t say anything else, he sat on the seat opposite me

“I still haven’t heard your name What is your name?”

“My name is Aida”

“Aeeda That’s a lovely name”

Okay, I’ve given up Father and Mother in Heaven, I’ve decided to live as Aeeda from now on

On a different note, apparently, Aeeda was a name of a famous person in history I didn’t know any more than that but it was no wonder everyone praised my name whenever they heard it

“My nauardian from now on Pleased to make your acquaintance”

Sigurd-san held the title of a Viscount I didn’t have any knowledge about court ranks but I could vaguely tell he was so shot He was courteous and I could sense his kindness froh of relief that I seeuardian

“U from me but, is it really okay to trust people so easily?”

Horz-san, Belinda-san and even this Sigurd-san Aren’t they too trusting of other people? Or are the people in this country all this big-hearted?

“He of character I cannot even possibly iine that you would harm His Majesty Also, a person with ill-intentions would not personally tell the other person to suspect them”

Apparently, people who have some ulteriorThat my expressionlessness could unexpectedly help me out in a positive as a happy miscalculation

Afterwards, I told ood at cleaning and oes without saying that my ‘life-story’ was the full of lies version about how I ca continent with the help of a relative If I told him that I came from another world, instead of the palace, he would probably carry me to a mental hospital

“Cough Aeeda So… ho did you ive me for my discourtesy, however, from the way you look… I find it extremely hard to believe”

Sigurd-san’s cheeks had a slightly reddish tinge Did he choke? I wondered in concern

“Let’s see I learnt fro my mother As far back as I can re it

“W-Why! Froe you were already…?!”

Sigurd-san looked corew as round as saucers

'Garuta Continent is that advanced?' I could hear hi to be so surprised about? Cleaning was so even a three year old could do Ohh It must be because aristocrats have butlers andup was probably inconceivable to him

“This is beyond !”

Sigurd-san was overcorabbed hold of both of my hands

”I am of the opinion that for the future of this country, his h you s of devotion for this country are the saether with me to the best of your ability

“Yes, I will try my very best”

With renewed resolve, I firurd-san’s hand Despite his intellectual looks, he was quite a passionate person I think we'll get along well

I let out a sht I could see from myThe townscape had exceeded my expectations The stone paved streets, which were even h for several carriages of this size to pass through side by side Possibly because the carriage originally had soht but e entered the capital, there was absolutely no vibration at all That was hoell-made and developed these streets were

I had felt like I had tiht be more modern than I had expected
