209 CHAPTER III PEACEFUL RESOLUTION (2/2)

I think Bruno was right. Sir Leons is a genius. I'm an ordinary man. So I don't have a choice.

Huh. So now it's up to Lelia.

Assuming Lord Leonce agrees, the only thing left to worry about is whether or not Lelia will be able to acquire the magic she needs to master.

”I'll trust Master Lelia.

SIDE: Leons.

'You have a chief of staff who can. The only reason I didn't make this suggestion from the beginning is that it would have been better if I could have gotten my hands on Leena.

You're doing a good job of controlling your master. Gael-san may be good at it, but his chief of staff may be more of a factor. So, are you going to teach Lelia-san how to manipulate magic?

I was watching the monitors with Elsie today.

Sherry and Leena are having a tea party with Miss Lelia.

I'd be more than happy to accept that if it meant I didn't have to worry about kidnapping Leena or anything.

You said I'm not very compassionate, but I don't want to grow up that big, so .

I know. But I'm glad to hear it's going to end peacefully.

You're absolutely right .

I barely slept yesterday thinking about ...... if we have to go against the Church State as well.

So that's what happened . So you were making out with Mr. Bell all last night?

It's more of a flirting thing: ...... cuddling. Also, there was Leena.

I couldn't sleep last night, so I invited Belle over and we were lying down and talking for a bit when Leena, who also couldn't sleep, came into the room ...... and the three of us went straight to bed together .

It wasn't lovey-dovey. It wasn't lovey-dovey.

Oh, my God, Leena, too?　I didn't notice. I'm glad you've forgiven Miss Shelley.

It was the middle of the night when Leena came to her room.

I'm sure Elsie, who watches the bedroom, was asleep at that hour.

”Master Leons, Master Toad is here.

Oh, there he is.

Copy that. Will Elsie be joining us?

If you want to just listen, you can go to ......

With Elsie's approval, I showed Toad to his room.

”I'm very sorry. Please forgive me for my rudeness yesterday.

As soon as I entered the room, Toad apologized to me as if he was going to get down on his knees.

''No. . I'm sure the Fontaine family is going through a lot, so I don't mind that much.

Normally it would feel strange to forgive so easily, but if we don't forgive them here, we won't be able to move forward.

Even if it's unnatural, let's just forgive quickly.

Oh, thank you. ......

So, what's the case today?

Let me withdraw my request to return Lena to the Faithful.

Really?

You think that's deliberate?　No, after all those rejections yesterday, this is the best response I can give you.

Acting is so difficult.

''In exchange, would you be willing to teach Lelia the art of magic?

What is the secret of magic: ”What is ......?

Don't be silly. There are magical secrets that only the previous saints and the Forster family could have used.

Come to think of it, is magic manipulation the ultimate goal?　It's more of a rudiment.

Well, I don't really need to point that out.

Okay. That's fine. It's just that ...... Lelia is on the verge of adulthood. I'm not sure I'll be able to get it. And if we can't, can you promise you won't blame us?

I think I can handle it in half a year, but they say the smaller the growth of magic, the better.

We should take out an insurance policy just in case it doesn't work out .

''Huh?　Does your age have anything to do with it?

'In a manner of speaking . When I was with the Forster family, I was training in magic before I entered primary school, so...

'Right. ....... Okay. If you don't get it, we won't say anything. So please, I beg you. If you accept, I'll give you five boxes of gold.

Five boxes means there are five boxes of a hundred gold coins. Since there are no white gold coins in your country, they are said to be exchanged in such a unit.

By the way, 500 gold coins of the church is about 300 to 500 million yen. Since there is no white gold, the value of the church's gold coins is much higher.

I understand. I'll do my best to see what I can do.

Oh, thank you.

No, no. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Of course I do!

Deal. I'm glad it went quickly.

I had a feeling it was going to be a long one. Good thing our guy's a good agent.

Good. Now all that's left is the Tri-nation Conference!
