I’m An Uncouth Lady, But I Helped The Villainous Young Lord But He Ended Up Liking Me - Chapter 43 – Uncouth lady, using her magic

After that, Lord Nazel and I returned to Sutrena territory.

We changed rides to a wyvern in the city of Roca and looked down at Sutrena Territory from the sky.

When we arrived at the tranquil frontier, I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that I had returned home.

“We’ve arrived.”

“Yes, we’re almost at the mansion.”

I can see the large lord’s house and a huge plant growing in the garden.

The garden was now producing a huge number of plants that were producing a lot of big, delicious-looking fruit regardless of the season.

As usual, Lord Nazel, who had just stepped down from the wyvern, again held out his hands toward me. I could never get used to this, no matter how many times I did it.

And now that I know how Lord Nazel feels about me, I’m even more embarrassed!

I had the courage to jump off the wyvern again today, and Lord Nazel was there to catch me.

“By the way, Lord Nazel, are you off work today?　You must be tired from your long trip.”

I hope that Lord Nazel, who has been working without a break for so long, will take this opportunity to take a break.

Besides, if he would stay at the mansion, I would have had more chances to confess my feelings.

At Master Allard’s house, I couldn’t say anything after all, and Kelly was with me on the road.

And I’d like to say I like him properly face to face, not on the wyvern.

When I think about it, it’s most convenient for me to have him at the mansion.

“I guess so. I think I’ll take it easy today and get on with the work I can do at home …….”

As Lord Nazel opened his mouth, Kelly came to inform me that Henry had arrived.

“Agnes, what’s wrong? You looked like you wanted to say something.”

“No, don’t worry about it.”

I had no idea that it would be so difficult to let Lord Nazel rest and confess.

After that, when I brought tea to the office, Lord Nazel and Mr. Henry were discussing with serious faces.

“…… So, it’s about time for the movements of the magical beasts to become more active.”

“Well, we’ve taken some measures, but it might be a good idea to put up more fences in the areas where there is a lot of damage. We have just succeeded in improving plants with stronger stems, so with Agnes’ help, we can build fences over a wider area.”

If it’s okay with you, I’m always willing to help.

While arranging tea and pastries, I looked at them. Then Mr. Henry spoke to me.

“Master Agnes, what are these pastries?”

“It is a new creation of our cook, Meyza. Between the crispy pie crust, there is a mousse of the viola berry Lord Nazel has produced.”

Henry’s pale face lit up as he took the pastry into his mouth.

“Wonderful! Are you planning to sell these?”

“I am. I just haven’t gotten around to it right now…….”

Mr. Henry loves the food and sweets served at our house and often comes to the mansion to work for them. Today is no different.

He also lends me a helping hand with various things, which is very helpful for me.

“If so, why not try outsourcing to a bakery in town?　You can sign a contract with them to receive a fee for the use of the recipes and a percentage of the monthly sales.”

“I’ll talk to Meyza about it.”

I would like to give back to her in the form of a recipe bonus and a salary increase for her service.

In a few months, “Meyza’s Viola Berry Pie” will be a very popular product in the city center, but that’s another story.

Anyway, now it’s time to deal with magical beasts.

In remote Sutrena, there are several times a year when magical beasts become active.

This is the time of year when they become active, and the night of the new moon is considered particularly dangerous.

That day is approaching.

“We should ask Agnes to help us.”

“Yes, I would. I need help installing fences and strengthening private residences in areas where there is a lot of damage.”

Hearing Lord Nazel and Henry’s words, I nodded my head and said, “Leave it to me.”

I am simply glad to be of service.

After that, it was quickly decided that I would proceed with countermeasures against magical beasts with the magic of material reinforcement.

Together with Lord Nazel, I would go around the frontier in a wyvern and strengthen fences and houses.

However, since there were so many of them, my magic power gradually decreased and I became tired. The decrease of magic power becomes fatigue and attacks my body.

But I want to reduce the number of people affected by magical beasts.

As I walked to the next house, I felt my body start to sway.

……Ugh, I feel dizzy for the first time in my life. Mr. Henry was always like this.

I almost fell head first to the ground, but just before I did, I was enveloped by something soft.

It was a green succulent plant.

“Agnes! Are you okay?”

Lord Nazel rushed to me from a little distance away.

“Lord Nazel…… this plant is ……”

“My magic. It has no substance, so if I break the spell, it will disappear.”

As soon as he reached out and picked me up, the succulent plant disappeared with a swoosh.

Lord Nazel’s plant magic is very useful.

“I am sorry. I didn’t mean to put you through too much.”

“I’m fine. I’m fine. Thanks to Lord Nazel’s finding a way to use my magic, I can be useful to everyone like this.”

“You will still have plenty of opportunities to use your skills.”

I was told, “That’s it for today.”

I was quickly taken back to the mansion by Lord Nazel.
