Inside the box were seven rings with blue gems on them. This would be the source of the pair of rings Dagris and the others were going to buy?

These are the ores in the main temple underneath the palace. Its name is True Crystal. It really has the blessing of the goddess on it. The ring made from it is called the Ring of the Goddess. I didn't change it. Hasn't Caroline had my ring inspected?

　With that, Lady Christina lovingly strokes the ring that fits on her left ring finger. Caro nods at that, though.

It's a good thing that the ring has many effects, but when you think of each other, you know where to find each other. The closer you get to them, the easier it is to recognize them. The closer you get to them, the easier it is to understand them.

　That's great. If you have the ability to do that, you'll be fine in case you get separated.

'Also, be careful not to cheat on your wife, because if you cheat on her, the stone will lose its sparkle and become just a stone.

　I'm going to be okay. You're going to be okay.　

　I've heard that it has various abilities afterwards. Not to mention the increase in physical and magical power, it also increases the experience level, and prevents near-death attacks for one time. (After that, it seems you can't use it until your magic power builds up), but it's a pretty impressive ability.

It's an amazing ability. But it would be an amazing thing if we mass-produced it, right?

　Wouldn't it be a terrible thing to have this kind of ability out there? That's what I thought, but Lady Christina says it won't come to that,'' she said.

'For some reason, this ore only shines when the Pope's family gets married. Again, it began to shine when you and Caroline got engaged. That's why I was able to harvest it and make it. And then when I collect enough for my needs, I'll go back to the usual ore. And in the meantime, it's just a stone, and it has no powers.

　Is this the playfulness of that goddess?　But there are seven in number. There's only me, Alexia, Ferris, Caro, Helen, and Aeris here. There are six of us in all.

　While I'm thinking about it, Lady Christina starts handing out rings to everyone. Everyone puts the ring on their left ring finger and the size changes to fit their finger. When I put the ring on my left ring finger, it turns out to be just the right size. It's not too tight and not too big.

Also, be careful when someone else wears it because the stone will break.

　It's really quite versatile. I heard later that putting it on will increase the energy in men and make it easier for women to give birth. It's only here that Alexia and the others were a little scared as they were happy to talk about it.

'Also, this one has another one, doesn't it?

　And Lady Christina hands me the last one. Maybe.

Is this for Krona?

'I don't know who he is, but if he's there, it's for him. Whenever I try to make this ring, I can only collect enough for the number of people, and I can only make it for that number of people. And yet, this time there's more than just the number of people here, so that's what it means.

　I see. Well, this is for Krona. I'd like to give it to her in person, but I want her to put it on quickly, so I'll send her a letter.

　After that, we were dismissed after receiving a lot of warnings about the ring. Alexia and the others went back to their rooms because they all had something to talk about. It was a pleasure to watch them stroking the ring and looking so happy.

　I went back to my room and was thinking about what I was going to do now, but then I remembered that I had a letter from Zeke, so I decided to read it.

　Woohoo!

　Dear Ray.

　The fact that you are reading this letter means that Ray approves of your marriage to Aeris. I had told Aeris to give it to him when it happened.

　I wasn't too surprised to hear from Eileen about how Aeris felt about it, but I'm sure I have some mixed feelings about it.

　Even though we're half-blood sisters and brothers, you guys are still blood brothers, you know.

　Well, it's true that once you fall in love with someone, you can't stop them. I even like my wives so much that they get mad at me sometimes!

　Whether you read this letter or not, I'm telling Aeris to return the results to you. If you've read it, Ray should return it for you instead.

　There's just one problem.

　The problem is Aerys's courtship. I've put the portion of the surrounding nobles on hold for now, but I'll decline depending on their responses. The only thing I can't say no to is the offer of marriage.

　That one is the second prince of the Ciria Kingdom. I'm sure you've been in love at first sight with Aeris when she was walking through the palace.

　Since then, there have been many requests for marriage proposals sent home, but I had put them on hold because I'm still a student, but the last letter I received said that I was going to the Kingdom of Nanor at the end of the year and wanted to meet with him.

　Since I couldn't refuse until then, as a matter of fact, I have sent a letter of approval. I've already talked to Aeris about it. The King of Nanor will also be present at the meeting.

　And that's where I want you to come in, Ray. I should be the one to go, but I can't leave my domain due to the suspicious activities of the Regalia Empire. It's supposed to be Eileen's turn to go instead.

　You have to be the man to protect Aeris.

　Sieg.

　Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

　Phew. I didn't know Aeris was being courted from such a place. I can't help but have a feeling it's going to be a little troublesome, but it's for Aeris' sake. I'll have her give it up at all costs.
