Chapter 314: The Biography of Julius
Cain-niisan’s comment, “There should be plenty of basic stamina recovery potions stored in the knights’ order,” made sister-in-law Mika’s eyes light up. And it wasn’t just sister-in-law Mika whose eyes were shining. Rosalia was also looking at me with sparkling eyes.
“I cannot permit the use of magic potions without reason. Even so, I am a potion maker personally appointed by His Majesty the King. However, if you are truly exhausted, I will, of course, allow you to use them.”
The five of them nodded vigorously. …Cain-niisan, Nero, and Lelie have joined them. Oh, even the head chef is nodding. I should prepare extra basic stamina recovery potions this morning. I’m glad I collected a lot of materials. Since I’m also growing them in the greenhouse, it should be manageable if they aren’t consumed in large quantities.
“Ah. I was thinking of it as just a refreshing beverage, though.”
I let out a sigh as I headed to the workshop after finishing breakfast. I turned around in surprise, but it seemed Rosalia and the others hadn’t heard me.
“Refreshing beverage?”
“Oh, that’s just my thought. Don’t worry about it.”
I hurriedly explained to the puzzled Nero. There’s no such thing as a refreshing beverage in this world—except for the basic stamina recovery potion I made. It might be nice to have something like a sports drink that’s easier to consume. I think it can be made with sugar and salt. Adding honey would make it perfect.
“Julius-sama, have you come up with something new again?”
“How did you know?”
“No, just a feeling…”
“Hmm…”
Nero and Mira looked at me with a hint of exasperation. Did it show on my face that much? But this isn’t a magic potion; anyone can make it!
…Wait a minute. It’s better to hold off on this. If I add more burden to Alex-niisan and sister-in-law Daniela, they might give me a hard time. I might even end up having to help out.
“Yeah, I’ll put it off for now.”
“I see.”
“So, let’s put away that notebook you’re holding.”
Nero reluctantly put his notebook back in his pocket. It seems he has taken up the hobby of recording my activities. That’s fine, but could you not publicize it? He might even plan to publish a “Biography of Lord Julius” someday. Yeah, that seems possible. I need to make him stop.
As soon as I arrived at the workshop, I started wrapping the gift. I placed the glass pen and magic stone heater in separate wooden boxes. If they were packed together and the glass pen broke, it would be a huge problem. That would be inauspicious.
I paid particular attention to handling the glass pen. Using a pedestal for necklaces, I carefully placed it in the box and wrapped it with beautiful paper. Of course, I didn’t forget the ribbon.
“It’s so beautiful!”
“Kyu!”
“Thank you, Rosalia.”
Both Rosalia and Mira seemed to like it. I had considered giving a fountain pen as well, but I decided to save it for the next occasion. I plan to ask Miss Fabienne what kind of fountain pen she would like during my next visit and use that as a reference to create a special one just for her.
I wrapped the magic stone heater in the same manner. It will be very useful for the upcoming season. It should warm not only during the day but also at night. Miss Fabienne probably doesn’t have a “Mira as a hot water bottle” like I do.
“Kyu?”
“It’s nothing, Mira.”
I took Mira, who was tilting her head, and headed towards the training ground. It seems Rosalia will continue working hard in the workshop. There’s nothing much for her to do at the training ground, so I think it’s a good use of her time.
As expected, or rather, as was obvious, the training ground was filled with such a scene.
“Cain-niisan, sister-in-law Mika.”
“Julius, you came too. As you can see.”
Cain-niisan was smiling wryly. Sister-in-law Mika wasn’t sure whether to laugh, and her mouth was slightly distorted. I think she should just laugh without hesitation.
“Julius-sama!”
“Giles, Christopher. It looks like you two are alright.”
“Yes, it seems so. Apparently, yesterday’s celebration was quite a big deal…”
Most of the people at the training ground were young children. A few knights present also looked somewhat apologetic. They probably couldn’t stop them.
This situation is quite problematic, isn’t it? Maybe if we wake them up, they might be able to do something, but this is really pushing it.
Given that the princess from the royal family is to be received, it’s quite disappointing that the northern border lord is like this. Even though the snow is deep and there’s no risk of an attack at this time, there should be limits.
“Cain-niisan, please do something about this once you have control of the knights.”
“…”
“Cain-niisan?”
“I-I understand. I’ll do something. I’ll definitely do something.”
I’m starting to get worried. I wonder if Cain-sama really wants to be on that side. For now, I’ll have to rely on Mika-onee-sama.
“Mika-onee-sama, you’ll be alright, won’t you?”
“Huh?”
Oh no, I’m getting anxious. We really need to establish clear rules while Father is still healthy. At the very least, the celebration should be spread out over a few days and the number of participants should be limited.
After checking the current situation with the knights, I discussed the investigation with Giles and Christopher. When we started talking about fighting the Snow Worm, they leaned in and listened intently. It seems they really wanted to fight as knights themselves.
Of course, I made sure to clarify that Nero and I were just spectators from a distance. It would be problematic if they misunderstood. I need to make it clear that I won’t be fighting monsters at my age. Though, since I’ve already fought Snow Wolves and such, it might lack convincing power.
However, I must say, there is a significant difference in danger between Snow Wolves and Snow Worms. Snow Wolves can be fought by one person, but Snow Worms require multiple people to handle.
It would be problematic if my defeat of the Snow Wolves led to the Snow Worms being lumped together in the same category. Well, I could easily defeat a Snow Worm by myself, but that’s a secret.
