It's been a while. I'm back.

Welcome back, Sebas. Did Count Vandenburg receive my gift?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, of course. The Count was very pleased. I've been asked to give him a letter of thanks. Please accept it."

　Winter has come to an end and the days are gradually getting warmer.

　In the midst of all this, Sebas, who had gone to Count Vandenburg's territory, returned to the Orient.

　It seems that he has officially become Elizabeth's butler instead of the Count's butler.

　Soon after his return, he is again in charge of the work of the servants.

　Sebas receives a letter from the Count of Vandenburg.

　When we check the contents of the letter, we find that it is full of words expressing the greatness of the gift we gave him, a magical communication device.

　As one would expect from the current head of the Count's domain, he must have immediately understood how excellent this magical tool was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was using it in his work right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the gift had an effect, and he has officially approved my marriage to Elizabeth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I have already received the engagement ring, and we have already made it public.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, it is an official acknowledgement that Elizabeth is staying in my house even though she is my fiancée.

　To tell you the truth, the situation in which I'm keeping the Countess even though it's Elizabeth's will was so abnormal that it could be said that I kidnapped her.

　I guess it's a relief.

Did she say anything else?

"My word to Miss Elizabeth, if you are feeling better, she would like you to come back before the wedding, even if it is only for a little while. She has been ill for a long time."

"Even a count of high nobility, I guess he still thinks his daughters are cute, right?　But I'm not sure if Elizabeth has any intention of coming home. She said she wants to take my cure every day. I hear your skin has a different glow."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's already. Even to my eyes, your daughter's beauty has been further refined. She was even more beautiful when she was a child, but she seems to shine even more brightly. Her silky golden hair is like a goddess, isn't it?

　Oh, I knew you were different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've been using [recovery] on Elizabeth every day since we got engaged.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the beginning, her body, which had been deteriorated by a curse in the name of incurable disease, has been getting surprisingly well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But gradually the range of the change has been getting smaller and smaller, and nowadays I think that the daily use of [Recovery] has an effect only on a cellular level.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But for Sebas, who had been away from Elizabeth for a few months, it was quite different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He points out here and there that something is different about the young lady.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a bit too much, but it made me understand how this butler had been watching over Elizabeth for a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He seemed to be a man full of love, though sometimes I thought he was a businessman in the service of the Countess, because he was so tightfisted in his work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now I understand a little more why Elizabeth entrusted him with her personal affairs.

"But it's an amazing thing, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"[Recovery]. We had confirmed that there were people in Briaria who could use that magic. However, I was told that it can't cure incurable diseases, and I didn't know that it's effective for beauty. I am surprised that it is so effective."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Come to think of it, in Briaria, people of the noble class don't get many namings because they don't want their magic power to decrease, right? But then, if this story spreads, the number of people who accept godfathers may increase.

"Because of the cosmetic effect?　I doubt it. I think that because they are nobles, they are very strict about the increase or decrease of their own magical power."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But what about women?　Among the nobility, men might be more concerned about the amount of magic, but many women might take beauty over magic, don't you think?　Even if you can't cure an incurable disease, you can heal an injury if you can use [Recovery]. I think it can also remove skin blemishes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. So you're saying that you'll be popular among women. That certainly seems to be the case.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There seems to be no bottom to the pursuit of beauty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I started daily [recovery] with Elizabeth, and seeing that, my other fiancées, Zion and the others, have been asking for it too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And even Mitya and Yuri, who are supposed to be about my age.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought they were still children and didn't need it, but they seemed to be very happy just to get rid of the minor scars on their bodies that they had.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think there is a high demand for [recovery] for cosmetic purposes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There might be some women of noble families in the historical Briaria magic country who can use [healing] if they are named thanks to the amount of magic power they are born with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was talking with Sebas about the possibility that such people might be more popular than expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Anyway, I heard that. It seems that you are using the effect of [Recovery] to expand your military. Is the Master finally planning to start a big war?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You mean me, Master?　Hmm. I don't know. But Ai says that the surrounding countries are about to make a move. Maybe things will move in a big way this year."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, Sebas had already heard about the pension plan I had introduced for the Barka mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And he knew that my [Recovery] was also used in the plan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must be gathering all kinds of information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even Sebas didn't seem to have grasped what I had said yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that's normal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because nothing has happened yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the time is surely approaching.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a possibility that neighboring countries will make a big move once again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason for it lies in En.

　The seeds of conflict over money have begun to sprout in this small group of nations.
