Chapter 90: What’s going on?
I wonder what happened
Kvasir said to me that it would be better if I went back first while I was feeling confused.
Lars-sama and the others are going to call someone from the palace to explain about this incident and think about how to respond.
In the meantime, they decided to leave(stay with) the corpses of the demon beasts in the forest as is because it would be troublesome if someone accidentally disposed of them.
They also said they would interview Miss Elena and Albert while they had the chance.
Even though I think it would be fine to wait until the person sent from the palace conducts the inquiry, if they leave it as is, it will become a nuisance in various ways.
“For example, like Linea-sama’s skill,” said Kvasir.
My skill was not only witnessed by Albert and Michelia but also by Miss Elena and her servants.
Since we can’t change our policy of hiding it, it’s necessary to erase their memories after hearing the circumstances.
And then, we have to report the results as Lars-sama drew it to the royal family and get Miss Elena and the others to nod to it.
“I apologize for the inconvenience…”
It’s very troublesome and time-consuming work that we have to do. Especially if Albert’s memories before and after getting hurt are missing, Miss Elena will not be satisfied easily.
I bowed my head deeply to Lars-sama.
“I’m sorry that I was late in coming.”
“No, you were very fast.”
I shook my head.
Lars-sama had not seen directly what had happened to me and had been in a distant place.
Moreover, he had come alone, if he had been informed by Marc and brought the soldiers along with him, it would have taken even more time to move people.
Normally, it would not be strange for it to take longer.
But because it was that fast, it was too much.
“When erasing memories with Kvasir’s magic, detailed operations are not possible. Just now, he roughly erased memories until a few minutes ago.”
Come to think of it, he had said something like a spell that returned the time.
It must have been something that really returned memories until one or more minutes ago.
“For Duke Augren’s daughter, it will be necessary to repeat the fine memory operations. From what she just heard, I think Kvasir will be in trouble but, it will be easier later if it is remembered that she stabbed Albert with her own hand.”
If she remembers that, Miss Elena will not be obsessed with Albert.
If she could clearly recognize that she was not chosen, it wouldn’t be strange for her to say that she lost interest in it, because of her pride.
At the same time, her excessive hatred towards me can also be subdued.
“Either way, the Duke Augren house is going to lose quite a bit of power, so they probably won’t have much influence.”
I was startled by Lars-sama’s statement, but it’s an inevitable thing.
Because they tried to kill people by manipulating demon beasts. Of course, the same goes for Albert’s Count Herkuvis house.
Then, what will happen to his relationship with Michelia?
Lars-sama smiled small as I couldn’t help but think about it.
“Is there something that worries you? Because you are a gentle person, it is not strange for you to want to help someone who has been cruel to you.”
No, I am not such a saintly person.
“I just wondered what those two will do. They seem to be in love with each other more than I imagined.”
Michelia, who screamed that she doesn’t mind bowing to me if it meant saving Albert.
Albert, who protected Michelia from the deadly blade.
Both of them, when they were almost at their limit, only thought about each other and acted accordingly.
“…You won’t ask me about anything more than that.”
When those words were suddenly said to me, I didn’t know what to do.
Thinking, he replied honestly.
“Since Lars-sama had been hiding it all this time, I wasn’t sure if it was okay for me to ask. I too, until recently, had kept my skill a secret from everyone and hid them. That’s why I thought that Lars-sama also had a reason for hiding things from me until now.”
Then I added with a little smile.
“It does interest me though.”
But if there’s something he doesn’t want to say, I won’t ask.
Even so, I know that if necessary, Lars-sama will use his power to help me.
Rather, because he’s not saying he wants to erase my memories, I think it’s okay to let me know that he has healing skill…I interpreted it that way.
Lars-sama, after listening to my story, opened his eyes in surprise and then smiled.
“I’ll explain it to you now.”
Saying that, Lars-sama pulled my hand and gave instructions to Asher-sama and Kvasir. Our destination was a fallen tree that was visible from where they were.
We sat on it, side by side. Even though I was mostly unconscious due to the numbness medicine, it was a relief to be able to sit down because I was tired.
“To put it simply, there are only two humans with healing skill.”
“Two people…”
“One is me and the other is my younger brother.”
