'Oh!　I can see it!　King's Landing!

　I leaned out of the window and shouted at Soo. I also looked through the window into the distance and saw a white castle and high walls, towering up against a large waterfall.
　The royal capital Alephis. The capital of this country is located on the banks of Palette Lake, which flows into the waterfall. It is also known as the "City of Lakes".
　The Kingdom of Belfast, located in the western part of the Europa continent, is a relatively peaceful country, thanks to its pleasant climate and good government.
　The main industry is sewing, and the silk produced in the Kirua region of the Kingdom of Belfast is said to be one of the finest in the world. It is light, soft, strong and beautiful. It is said to be the pride of this country's industry and an important source of income, and is purveyed to the nobility and even the royal families of other countries.
　As we approach the capital of the country, we are surprised at the length of the wall. How far does this wall continue? I guess you could say it's an iron-walled defense that doesn't allow the enemy to enter. It's not made of iron, though.
　At the gate of the city, a few soldiers are checking in to enter the capital. But we passed by them without being checked, only to see the faces of Su and Raym. A face pass. And maybe it's the power of the duke's coat of arms on the carriage.
　The carriage continued straight toward the castle and crossed a long stone bridge with a large river running through it. There was also a checkpoint in the middle of the bridge, but as usual, we went through it.

''Across this bridge is the residence of the nobles, sir.

　Raym-san's explanation, I see. So it's separated from the common people area and the aristocratic area?
　After passing through a street lined with beautiful and splendid mansions, the carriage eventually came to the front of a large mansion. The walls of the grounds were also long. When they finally arrived at the gate, five or six gatekeepers slowly opened the heavy-looking door from side to side. I realize now that the coat of arms painted on the gate is the same coat of arms as the carriage. So this is the Duke's house.
　It's huge. Anyway, it's huge from the garden to the house. What is this useless hulking thing.
　The carriage stops in front of the front door and Sue opens the door briskly.

''Welcome home, Miss!
Mmm!

　The maids lined up in a row bowed their heads in unison. I was pouting from inside the carriage, and Reimu urged me to get out of the carriage. I must have come to a place that was... incredibly out of place.
?
　As I walked through the front door, a man came running down the large red-carpeted staircase in front of me.

'Soooo!'
Father!

　Sue ran in a straight line to the man and jumped into his chest with great vigor.

''Good. I'm really glad...!''
'Don't worry, Warawa is nothing to worry about. You wrote that in the letter you gave Hayama.
'I didn't feel alive when I got the letter...'

　Father of Sue. This is Duke Ortlinde, the king's brother? His bright golden hair and sturdy, strong-looking body exuded a sense of grandeur. On the contrary, his face was soft and gentle.
　The duke eventually left Su and walked towards us.

''You are the adventurers who rescued my daughter. I have to thank you. I really appreciate it, thank you.

　I was surprised. Then the duke bowed to the four of us. The king's brother," he said.

''Raise your head, please. We have only done what we deserve.'
Okay. Thank you. You're a humble man, aren't you?

　Saying that, the duke took my hand and shook it.

'Let me introduce myself again. I'm Alfred Hernes Oltrinde.
I'm Fuyao Mochizuki. Oh, Fuyao is my name and Mochizuki is my family name.
Oh, you were born in Yisheng?
　...How many times have you heard that phrase?



'I see, you've come to King's Landing with a request to deliver the guild's letter.
　We were sitting on the upstairs terrace facing the garden with the Duke in front of us, enjoying a cup of tea.
　The "enjoying" was mainly just me and the Duke, although the other three were stiff and nervous. Sue had left her seat and wasn't here. I wonder where he went.

''If you guys hadn't accepted that request, Su would have been kidnapped or killed. Thank God for whoever made the request.
Do you have any idea who attacked you?
''No...I can't say that I don't. I'm sure there are some noblemen in my position who might think I'm in their way. There may have been people who thought to kidnap my daughter, threaten her, and manipulate me to their will...

　The duke sipped his tea with a bitter face. 'There are many things in the world of the nobility, aren't there?

''Father. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.'

　Sue came to the terrace. She had a ruffled dress with a light peach ruffled dress and a catsuit adorning her blonde hair with an equally light peach rose. They look good together.

'Have you been able to talk to Ellen?'
'Yes, sir. I didn't want to worry you, so I didn't tell you about the attack.

　Sue sat fluffily next to the duke. Without a pause, Raym-san brought the tea.

''Ellen?''
'Oh, my wife. I'm sorry, she was my daughter's benefactor and she didn't show up. My wife is blind, you see.
Are you blind, that I'm not?

　Yae asks in a distressed tone.

'Five years ago I was sick... I survived, but I lost my sight.'

　The duke lowered his gaze painfully. Seeing this, Sue lays her hand on top of his. He's probably caring for his father. He's a sweet boy.

''...You have been cured with magic, correct?''
''I've called on all the healing magic users in the country, but to no avail. It is possible to restore the body to a certain extent due to injuries and the like, but it is not effective until the aftereffects of illnesses and the like are restored. However, I've heard that it doesn't work until the aftereffects of illnesses and the like.

　The duke answers Linse's question without force. I see.......so even healing magic won't work.... I thought that I could heal him with a cure heel.... The helplessness of a case like this sinks in.

'If only your grandfather were alive...'

　Sue murmured in disappointment. Perhaps noticing my curious gaze, the duke opened his mouth.

''My wife's father...Sue's grandfather, my father-in-law, was a special magic user. He was able to remove physical abnormalities. The reason why Su went on this trip is because I wanted to see if I could somehow figure out and master my father-in-law's magic.
Your grandfather's magic could cure your mother's blindness. If we can't figure out the magic, if we can find someone who can...

　Sue clenched her fists in frustration.

''I told you that's pretty unlikely, Suu. Most unattributed magic is personal magic. No one can use the same magic, rarely. But I'm sure there are users with similar effects. I'll find out for sure...
"'Aaaaahhhhhhhh!

　Suddenly, the three people sitting beside him stood up and shouted loudly. Whoa, you startled me!　What what?

Winter's night!
It's Mr. Wintery Night!
Lord Winter's Night, that it is!
What?

　Three people pointed at me one after another, and I didn't understand what was going on and backed away. What is this scary. Are all three of you excited and excited?
　The duke father and daughter, who were equally surprised, are also a bit taken back. See?

You might be able to use that magic!
Attributelessness is a personal magic... something that can't be used on anyone else. But!
"Fuyao-dono can use all of them if they have no attributes!
'Oh?　.........aaaaaaaaahhhh...!　So that's it!

　I finally understand!　Okay, okay, if you're unattributed!

What do you mean?　No way...
'You can't fix my mother!　Winter night!

　The duke had a look of disbelief on his face, and Su grabbed my arm as if he was biting me.

''To be honest, I've never used this magic before. But by any chance.... Could you tell me more about the unique name of that magic and its effects?''



Oh, you have a visitor?

　The noblewoman sitting on the bed looked a lot like Sue. She looked like this when she grew up, and it made me anticipate the future. Her hair was different from her daughter's, only it was a light brown color.
　Her white blouse and pastel blue skirt gave her a rather fragile image. If I were to compare her to a flower, she was more like a hazelnut than a rose or a lily. She was young in years, probably still in her twenties.
　However, I felt that her youthfulness would enhance her invisible eyes in reverse. Her eyes were open, but her point of view was not fixed, or she was not sure where she was looking.

'My name is Fuyao Mochizuki. It's nice to meet you, Eren-sama.
Nice to meet you. And you are this person?
Yeah, this very helpful person that Sue met who will listen to you and look you in the eye.
The eyes...?
Mother, make yourself comfortable.

　I quietly hold my hand in front of Eren-sama's eyes. I focus my attention and activate the magic I've just mastered. Please, please make it work.

"Recovery.

　A soft light drifted from my palm to Eren-sama's eyes. The light slowly fades and then I move my hand away.
　My gaze, which had been wandering in the air for a while, gradually settles down. When I thought I blinked with a crackle, I quietly turned my face towards the Duke and Suu.

''........I can see.......you. I can see you, dear!''

　Tears spill out of Eren-sama's eyes in tatters.

''Eren.........!
Mother!

　The three of them hugged and began to cry. Lady Ellen continued to stare at her daughter and her husband, who she hadn't seen in five years, crying and laughing. Her beloved daughter's face, her husband's face. With eyes wet with tears, forever.
　Raym-san, who was watching by her side, also turned her face upwards and had tears streaming down her face.


Good, sir.
It's good to see you, that it is.

　Are you two crying too?　Huh?　Doesn't this make me look like a horrible person when I'm not crying?
　I'm impressed, though, right?　It's just that there was a lot of pressure on me if I failed, so the relief came first... ...well, never mind.
　We watched the forever crying and rejoicing parent-daughter warmly.
