"The board ......?"

Linos nods his head. What appeared before him was a huge board with a beautiful wood grain. Suddenly, he looked at the corner and saw something red on it.

"Could this be a sign of the Great Weasel?"

Linos turns around and looks at King Maintia. What is he talking about?　He looks as if he is saying, "I'm sorry, I don't know what to do. As if ignoring him, Linos opened his mouth.

Look, this is blood, isn't it?　It's a big board with blood on it, so it's called the Big Weasel. ....... Oi, stop whispering to each other."

In front of him, King Maintia and Sidi are looking at each other and whispering. King Maintia looked at Rinos with a disgusted expression on her face.

"That's the other side!"

"...... Say that quickly!"

Rinos turned the huge board around while scratching his head. In front of him, he saw some kind of black painted picture. He took a few steps back and looked up at the painting again.

"......"

"Master Linos?"

Linos remained frozen in place, not moving an inch. When Sidi, concerned, approached him, he continued to stare at the painting with his mouth gaping open in amazement.

"......e, Miss Elsa."

Linos grunts as if he is trying to squeeze out. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Tears welled up in both of his eyes.

...... was a magnificent picture. It was so elaborately painted that it looked as if Erza was about to move. The Erza I remembered was there. I involuntarily turned my eyes to King Maintia.

"Why do you remember Lady Elsa?

"Your wife."

"What?"

Sidi is standing next to me, smiling shyly. Does Sadie know Elsa?

"Master Linos once painted a picture of the Bartham family. I made this drawing based on that picture and the stories of the Barsam family members that are often told."

According to the story, Sidi developed an image in his mind and told it to King Maintia, who painted this picture for him. I opened the still-packaged paintings one after another and inspected what was inside. There were depictions of the Marquis, Master Falco, and the Lady Eril.

Each of them had been well captured. Lady Elsa stood straight, her arms folded in front of her stomach, and her dignified eyes were turned toward us. She had a smile on her mouth, the same expression she has every morning when she comes to greet you in your room. I could almost hear her voice saying, "Good morning, Linos. This picture reminds me of the days I lived in that house like a running light. And the faces of Mr. Warasa, the head maid and cook, and the maids are also .......

The Marquis was painted with a calm expression. He is looking at us, but his eyes are benevolent.

Master Falco is depicted with an imposing figure and a sharp gaze. Yes, that's right. This is Master Falco. This is his face when he is teaching me magic. Whenever I was concentrating on the magic power when I was setting the wards, he always had this look on his face and scolded me saying, "Don't stop imagining. Keep imagining. This lesson to keep developing images in my mind is still a golden rule in my mind.

Oh, come to think of it, there was one more moment when I had this look on my face. It is when we go out to play.

"I'm going out now!　I'll be back soon!"

...... never tried to come home right away. He always came home near dawn, usually drunk and stupefied. The master said he had done his job, but what the hell kind of job was he doing? ....... Well, let's not think.

And the last person depicted was Miss Eril. She was smiling.

A kind smile. I don't know if she ever had this look on her face before. Most of the ladies I remember are always dignified and full of energy, sometimes with a nasty smile on their face. However, I remember this smile. ...... is so. It is the face of a person who has eaten something delicious.

It is a picture that seems to have captured a moment of a young lady's life. It was nothing short of magnificent. I turned to King Maintea again and thanked him profusely.

"No, it really is a wonderful painting. I am amazed that you were able to create such a picture. It really is too good to have you as king.

"That's true. Your wife's orders are very strict. She made me redo it many times. I had to paint a picture of someone I've never seen before, so it took a lot of work. Well, it was worth the trouble because they liked it."

"Thank you very much. I will return the favor."

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

"Yes, I'm counting on you. You should be thanking your wife. Without her, this painting would not have been created.

At King Maintia's urging, I went to Sidi again, took her hand, and thanked her.

"Sadie, thank you so much."

"Ahem. But I'm not the only one. Rico and Mei also told me about the Barthams. Please thank Liko-sama and Mei-chan as well."

I looked over and saw that both Rico and May had a happy expression on their faces. I thanked them both sincerely.

Later, His Majesty and others arrived from the Imperial Capital, and a small party was held in memory of the Marquis and his family of Berthaume.

Without even a word of greeting, the Prime Minister stopped moving in front of the picture of the Marquis and Master Falco. He had known Master Falco since he was a child, and he must have many memories of him. In addition, the Marquis was like a comrade-in-arms who shared wisdom with each other in order to keep the Heedata Empire and the Kingdom of Juka from getting involved in warfare. He must have felt the same way.

There was another person who did not move from in front of the painting. Her daughter, Eril. She, too, did not move from in front of the painting of Miss Eril. Rico watched her anxiously, as she looked blank when anyone tried to talk to her. Behind her, Arrows, the Crown Prince, was just staring at the painting with Eril, not saying a word.

"Hmmm.... They are a perfect match.

For some reason, His Majesty was pleased. In his eyes, it seemed as if Eryl and his son were having a heart-to-heart talk.

His Majesty rebukes Rico and greets my wives, May and Soleil. He is a man without talent, and he was making the occasion more lively while keeping my wives in good humor. On the other hand, His Highness Weiras took the role of a companion for the children. Apparently, he likes children. He seemed to enjoy playing with his nephews and nieces in an innocent manner.

Somehow, King Maintia did not leave, but instead slipped into the party and tucked into the meal that was served to him. And when he had filled his stomach to a certain extent, he came between me and His Majesty, who was talking, and spoke to me in an aloof tone.

"It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Hradime Roscano Maintia of the Kingdom of Hradime. It is an honor to meet you.

"Oh, so you're King Maintia. I've heard a lot about you.

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

No, it's my pleasure. Your Majesty's government has been heard far and wide in our land.

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

The conversation that began in such a tone was surprisingly lively, and it did not take long for the two of them to burst into laughter. King Maintia looked at me while he and His Majesty were talking about nothing else. It seemed as if he was telling me to leave this to him.

I let Rico take his place and slowly turned my attention to the four paintings. They all seemed to have a very satisfied expression on their faces.

"Marquis, Miss Elsa, Master, Miss ....... I am so happy. I owe it all to all of you. Thank you very much.

I muttered in a small voice and bowed my head. Once more......I want to see the Barthams again....... I muttered to myself.
