Chapter 34 (1/2)

Blacksmith Volume 2 Chapter 14

After going into hiding for a bit andsure the coast was clear, I headed back to my room

I soe crowd of people Eliza wouldn’t want to risk her i me Geez, that ay too close

As for right now, I a of the next day, safely alive

Considering the fact that Eliza didn’t raid er has cooled down considerably from before

I don’t think she’s forgivenwith that event with Mary, my relationshi+p with Eliza can only be considered the worst

I want to change this, but it’s probably better if I avoid her for now Right now, she’d burn aze if she could

As I thought that, suddenly so came from under the room’s door, it was a letter

It was a lovely envelope, signed with the beautiful yet terrifying name ‘Eliza Deauville’

The oosebumps suddenly sprouted out all over me in horror

‘You can’t run, I will find you’

That one sentence on the letter have just announced my death, even if it was only written…

No, if she decides she wants to settle this through letters, isn’t this much better than in person?

Reinforcing erly opened the envelope and took out the stationary

Huh, the stationary was rather pretty actually

M-maybe the contents of it won’t be so bad

Well, whether it be demons or snakes that come out, I am a man with the heart of a lion! I won’t be fazed by this!

Dear Kururi Helan-dono,

I hope this letter had found you well Did you know? The weather had become so hot yesterday that my physical condition alh, there’s no way you would break down froht?

I didn’t getof what you did to get any

I closed the letter there, and gently placed it on the table

For some reason I was thirsty all of a sudden, the atmosphere had made me quite nervous

After drinking a cup of tea, I re-read that section with deep breath

…Yup, it didn’t change I wonder why she wrote the letter that way?

‘She didn’t get any sleep yesterday? How a for me!

Kururi Helan-dono, are you aware of who my father is? My father is the proud Prime Minister of this country, and he lovesI didn’t like ever since I was small

I once again closed the letter

The letter had suddenly becoher as well

Brandishi+ng

This time a very sad event had happened between us

I believe that it would be in our best interests if we keep what happened a secret, right?

So let’s forget that this ever happened, this is the best choice

My honour is protected, and you get to keep your life We both win

I think you understand No, I know you understand

So thank you for your understanding

Please take care of yourself, ouldn’t want anything bad to happen noould we?

– Eliza Deauville

So intimidated by a letter, or rather, its contents

In short, if I talk, I die I wonder why she bothered to do this through letter though? Well, I’ht unconditionally though

Well, even if it was a threat, she did take the time to write me a letter

It’s only natural for a gentlemen to write one back

Reot to work on a new paper

Dear Eliza Deauville-sama,

I hope you are doing well, it worriedyou almost collapsed

You don’t need to worry about me by the way, a little bit of extra heat won’t affect me, my body is quite used to it already

Actually, I couldn’t get any sleep yesterday either, isn’t that a funny coincidence?

Also, there’s no way I wouldn’t have knoho your father is

He’s a great man with lots of influence with the country’s politics, we all live in gratitude to him everyday as nobles

For such a busy person to actually hter is quite a nice surprise

Oh, and by the way, I understand that you’re quite , but I can’t say I remember what I did

In particular, I can’t seem to recall yesterday’s events at all

Even if I wanted to spread the contents of what happened, I wouldn’t be able to

You don’t need to worry about anything, so you can rest easy now

If this is a lie, I swear to never have a good night’s sleep again, I swear it

So again, don’t worry

Not getting enough sleep would impair your beauty, so take care of yourself, okay?

– Kururi Helan

There we go, one letter

While writing it, I carefully thought about what I should and shouldn’t say to appeal to her, and now I’m done

Dashi+ng out of the rooirl’s dormitory

Once I was in front of her room, I placed the letter in the post box attached to her door

‘Kyaa~! I was actually able to deliver it!’ Is what I thought as I ran off, my face completely flushed red

Yeah, no Sorry, but there’s no developht now

Instead of a love letter, it’s more like a delivery that I had dropped off and ran away from the next second

This should settle things for a while

Our conflict still isn’t resolved, but this should be fine

Right noe’re at peace It shouldn’t be too unreasonable to think that way for now

I returned to my room and prepared a cup of tea

It’s a special tea exclusively brought frorance when brewed

With this I can finally relax

…or not As soon as I thought that, the sound of so out, co my happy mood

After checking out as inside, it turned out to be another letter from Eliza
