The Villain Family’s New Daughter-In-Law - Chapter 132

[To my little friend, Luciel.

Long time no see. Everyone is suffering from the sweltering heat in the Capital. Will the Duchy of Bellstein be cool even in midsummer?

After sending only a short note stating that the speech was successfully completed at the National Council meeting, I was curious because there was no news?

I’ve been really, really busy ever since. 

This is because I am promoting a project to train depression therapists with the ministers. There is more demand for magic dolls than expected, so Wizard Zerda is quite troubled.

Thanks to the good performance that day in front of His Majesty and the ministers, the number of classes increased greatly. Politics, geography, history, economics, and even monarchy.

As expected, Maynard did not even send an official marriage proposal after we asked for the ownership of the Maple State as a condition for marriage that should be notarized by a Laurel Oath.

And there are rumors circulating that everyone should think twice and choose golden terms before proposing to Princess Claudia. It seems like the marriage road is blocked, but it’s not bad.

Reynold hasn’t been seen in public since then. Thanks to that, I feel at ease these days.

I’ll carefully enclose an invitation to the summer literature salon next week. 

I can’t wait to see you soon, Luciel.

-Luciel’s expecting Older sister, Claudia.]

After reading all of Claudia’s letters while lying on a hammock, Luciel smiled.

“Princess Claudia, I thought she was doing well. Taking Monarchy classes is a good sign.”

Nearly a month has passed.

In the meantime, Luciel focused most of her energy on helping Soliaphe heal above all else.

They went to the temple three times a week to obtain holy water to help heal Soliaphe, and yesterday they finally heard from the doctor that Manaris was completely cured.

Fortunately, thanks to preparations for the drought in advance, the seeds of the Water Dragon arrived well, and she heard from Viscount Berga that all the residents of the land were spending the summer without any difficulties.

‘Now I have to take care of other things I’ve been putting off for a while.’

The time has come for the results of Erika’s research, which had been delayed for a while, to come out.

The jewels she entrusted for research this time were pink spinel, light green peridot, and black obsidian.

She now knew clearly how she felt when she created these jewels.

Peridot was made when she was amazed by eating surprisingly delicious food.

Obsidian was a jewel she knew well, it was made with pain.

Spinel was thrilling. Strangely enough, it was only made when she was with Kizef.

For a moment, I remembered Kizef’s face and the words he had said when she first made the spinel.

‘Jewels or flowers, it doesn’t matter to me what you make.’

‘Don’t even think about running away. If you get out of my sight, I will chase after you using our wedding ring.’

Luciel cheeks immediately turned red and she shook her head. Even thinking about it again, those words were sweet like whipped cream and stuck in her ears.

‘……At least It’s better to say such words when you really like the other person. Stupid Kizef.’

Luciel had a vague idea that just because men said sweet things they weren’t serious about it.

It was not comparable to the Crown Prince, but he was also very sweet when whispering love.

In the romance novel she secretly read last time, there was a story of a girl who was betrayed by a man who confessed to her with sweet words.

‘I don’t know, yet…….’

Luciel decided to shake it off and think about her jewels.

She couldn’t even imagine what kind of power they had, so she was really looking forward to the research results of those jewels.

Especially the beautiful jewel that she made with a strong heart to believe in herself.

Luciel still felt her heart pounding as she remembered it being filled with confidence that was unimaginable because she was really weak in the past.

It was a jewel with a pink color like a spinel, and as brilliant as a diamond.

After the last awakening, she was going to entrust the newly created jewelry to research.

By the way, in order to go to Imperial Literature Salon, I have to prepare glass crafts……but, there’s no news from Max yet.

“Time is running out.”

As she entered the parlor and checked the date on the imperial calendar, Luciel put the glass of blueberry juice on the table and muttered in amazement.

“Hold on! Isn’t today that day?”

Bessie, who was knitting, asked back with wide-open eyes.

“……Little madam, what day is it?”

“It’s Doctor Cicline’s exam day!”

“Oh, was it today? I’m sure she will do well.”

“Well……I suppose so.”

I gave a recipe for making mana nutrients, but she didn’t tell me what happened after that. But I’m sure she will do well.

Luciel picked up the Imperial Newspaper.

[Today, the Written Examination for the Pharmacist will be held in the Imperial City. Participants who pass the written test will be given the opportunity to take the special practical exam ten days later.]

“Oh, luckily today is the written test. If the practice test is ten days later. Maybe I can meet Doctor Cicline before that.”

I would like to meet and cheer her up, but first, I should pray that she passes the written exam. Most of all, I wondered if she had found a good way to combine the ingredients for mana nutrients.

Just when Luciel was a little more relaxed, Eva came to the private residence with a mage.

“Little Madam, I came here to finalize your account, because you said you can afford it today.”

“Oh… I don’t have much time to spare, but it’ll be just a moment, right?”

“Of course. I thought it would be easier to make your own seal first, so I came with an office processing mage. I already opened an account, so I also brought your enchanted bankbook with me.”

“All right.”

At Eva’s explanation, Luciel nodded her head. Instead of signing, she felt comfortable using a stamp on it.

“I like this.”

“Then let’s make the seal first, Little Madam.”

After the mage briefly answered, he consulted with Luciel, showing several samples of how to make a seal.

The final seal was made with a small rabbit face next to Luciel’s name.

The mage quickly created a name and signature by casting, then engraved it with magic on a hard, white stone. Even the seal was in the shape of a white snow rabbit.

“Wow, thank you.”

Eva also took out an enchanted bankbook and handed it to Luciel, who had the seal in her arms.

“This is Little Madam’s bankbook.”

When I opened the thick golden bankbook, nothing was written on it yet.

“Now all you have to do is sign with a magic signature or press a magic stamp and complete your bankbook.”

Luciel smeared the seal evenly on the sticky purple pad that Eva had given her and then stamped it firmly in the blank of the signature line.

Eva smiled as she saw the cute stamp being put on.

Sururu.

Soon, the golden bankbook twinkled around, and Luciel’s name was engraved in gold on the front as if it had been stamped from the beginning.

When she opened it again, the amount Evelyn had given her before was written on it. Proceeds from the boutique and fief estate, up to the budget allocated to Luciel. Everything was recorded

Proceeds from selling fruits from the orchard in little fief were also quite good.

“Amazing.”

“Now it’s properly connected. Congratulations, Little Madam. Please note that the current account amount is updated once every day at noon.”

“Yes. I’ll take that into consideration. Thank you both for your hard work.”

‘Somehow, I think it will be useful later.’

Luciel kept her bankbook and the seal deep in the drawer. She thought that she should come up with a plan to increase her fortune step by step.

It takes a lot of money to do this and that!

Luciel smiled brightly.

* * *

In front of Kizef who arrived at the Knights training center early in the morning, the swordsmanship teacher Kurantiel was waiting with his arms crossed.

Only his long, gray hair, tied in a slick-back ponytail, swayed until his waist. He was a man who looked as sharp and hard as metal with unknown age.

The shape of his eyes and the sense of intimidation emanating from his body were truly not human.

Even the Black Wing Knights were reluctant to face Kurantiel.

Although he was a quarter, not a pure-blooded dragon, he had a terrifying power because he inherited the dragon’s blood.

It was enough so, the Duke, who was out of human standards, and Commander Jarga, spoke positive words and praised his ability.….

“What kind of training do you want to do today?”

Kurantiel asked. He never forced Kizef. He would let him choose, and if he couldn’t keep his own promise, then he gave up.

“I will do mental training.”

“Very well.”

He handed out a pebble with a small wave pattern on it to Kizef.

Kizef took it and rubbed the stone. Then, in an instant, he was not in the training ground, but in a place like a lake submerged in water.

This place was connected to Kizef’s spiritual world.

‘If you lose your concentration even a little…….’

As soon as the thoughts got mixed in, a ripple broke out on the surface of the water.

‘I can’t let it become like this right away. If I keep this water still….’

He was able to raise superhuman concentration.

In this way, the effectiveness of training swordsmanship increased, it was possible to express the Aura for a longer period of time and with stronger intensity, and to learn new swordsmanship techniques.

Above all, it was useful training to lay the foundation in advance because he could see where to cut and how the opponent moved when he entered a state of deep focus.

‘If you keep training, it will become a good weapon.’

That was what Kurantiel emphasized from their first meeting.

‘The most important thing in training swordsmanship is to cultivate the mind.’

Luciel and Bellstein enemy.

Prince Reynold, or whoever is behind him.

In order to properly finish them, he must also develop his own strength.

Kurantiel shook his head as the ripples over the water’s surface trembled around.

“Your concentration is messed up.”

“…….”

“It is the same today. Try to succeed at least once.”

“…….”

His Master always dealt with Kizef without a single wooden sword and with his hands behind his back. Unfortunately for Kizef, there have been many failures along the way.

He has never been successful.

Kizef remembered Luciel’s words. Even the twinkling eyes of the child who said so.

‘It’s important to believe in yourself more than in others. So that no one else can judge you. I can do it, If I say so, I can do things as if it was a lie. It’s funny right?’

‘More than anyone else, I…… I’ll believe you.’

The water surface, which had risen waves like it was boiling, became quiet in an instant.

Sak!

The tip of the sword, which had cut through the air several times, finally aimed at Kurantiel’s neck for the first time.
