215 The Story of a Girl and a Merchant 3




 My sister is under the protection of a princess.
 And she realized that she is not special.


 I'm a sister to my ...... sister, but I don't know her that well. I do know that she was considered special. I know she was surrounded by people. --But I don't know her. I've never really talked to her.
 I thought, "Just as I've changed since I was abandoned by the village, my sister has changed since she was taken in as a child.



I'm sure you'll agree with me. She didn't listen to me that much.
That's right. She didn't listen to anyone, but when the civil war threatened her life, she finally realized it. If the civil war hadn't happened, she would have remained a selfish child.
That's a good thing. The civil war must have been very difficult for the Kingdom of Fairleigh Troff, but it was also a good thing because of the civil war.
Yes, it was. I can say that because of the civil war, things are moving in a slightly better direction. Also, this Ninaef-sama is Hiccup-sama's fiancée, isn't she?
...... Is that where the connection is?
Yes, that's right. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm so excited. That's why Ninaev found out early on that Alice might not be a divine child, and he worked to protect her early on.



 Everything is connected, I think, as I listen.


 The princess's protection of her sister is also connected to the prince. I'm still wondering if she has a fiancé or something. I'm not sure about marriage yet. I don't even know what love is. But do princesses and princes have fiancées even if they don't know what love is? I think it's hard.


I heard that the priests are out of the country to look for Lelanda. ......
Oh, in that case, the priest is already here in this village. I heard that he overruled the others because he wanted to respect the will of Lelunda, the divine child.
Is that so? I wonder what happened to the others. Well, either way, I don't think they're going to come looking for Lelanda since the kingdom of Fairytlov is in turmoil right now. Also, there is a rebellion of slaves in the Kingdom of Migga. I don't think the two countries can afford to go looking for their godson.
So that's a relief.
"Yes, I've recorded the route from the Kingdom of Migga to here. So if you want to go back, you can. So if you're heading to the Kingdom of Migga or the Kingdom of Fairytlov, I can show you the way.



 It must have been very difficult for you to get here, but it seems that Saddha has kept a record of your journey.
 We were just looking for a place where we could feel safe, and didn't have time to keep track of the way. When we first left the village of the wolf beastmen, we were desperate to escape. When I left the elven village, I was so desperate to find a safe place that I didn't have time to do so.
 I thought it was amazing that Saddha was able to do that and look ahead to the future.



Is there any way to get to it from the other side?
"Oh, that's okay. I've recorded and traced it so that only I can see it. The forest is dangerous for me, though, so I'll have to be prepared, and I don't know if I'll be alive by the time I get there.
"That's true. It's dangerous in the forest. Neither Saddha nor I can fight. We are going to train everyone in the village to fight little by little. Will you join us, Saddha? I think it would be useful just to build up your strength.
Would you like to join .......? I think it will help me in the future. I'm going to use this village as my base, but I'm thinking of having one of them go to the Kingdom of Migga. I'd like to report to Hiccup and the others that we've reached the divine child. And there may be more beasts that we want to bring over here.
...... We'll discuss it and make a decision. Saddha, you can take action in the village, but please don't do anything that we can't overlook. I don't want to do anything bad to you, my friend.
"It's okay. I understand. I'm not going to do anything bad to this village or to Lelunda-san, the godson. If I have to take any action, I'll consult with Ran.


 Saddha and Ran were having this conversation. I felt that they were really good friends.


Mr. Sadda, ......, I want to hear all about it. Next time you have time, can I ask you about merchants and stuff?


 Sadda-san seemed to know a lot of things, so I asked him. Saddha nodded with a smile.
