Chapter 5: Ex-fiancée

The girl that Noel brought to me was about the same age as me. She was a beautiful girl with beautiful golden hair that looked like ears of rice that had been groomed and blue eyes as clear as the ocean.

She is tall for a woman, but with a slender figure and breasts that assert a sense of presence in inverse proportion to that, she doesn’t have a mean smile like in the past, but a gentle smile that soothes people and heals them.

“It’s been a long time, Noah….. But did I hear you wrong? You said you were an immigrant, right? Not here as a fiancee……”

“Yes, I did. You have not responded to my letter, you know. That’s why I came to see you. Of course, not as a fiancée, but as an immigrant. I was wondering if you would accept me.”

It was beautiful to see her pouting her lips in a slightly sulky manner and because it is …… I raise my guard. It’s very unlikely that she was in love with me, even in my old memories.

And what’s more, I think she used to act more in line with what she liked, rather than being so cute……

In the first place, the letter came the other day, isn’t it too soon? This girl.

“Ah… that… I’m sorry, I’ve been working on various engagements.”

“It’s not that I’m a fiancée, it’s that I’m an immigrant. I heard that all the people in this territory are living happily and the rice is delicious. In fact, I am also tired of all the interactions between nobles….. I would like to immigrate here just as Noah. Is that bad?”

She then took my hand and tears welled up in her eyes when she got angry. When asked such a question by such a beautiful girl, I’m supposed to nod, but I’m not that naive. I held back with much effort. I used the world library, not taking any chance.

Noble

Noah Cassius

Age: 17 years old

Specialties: Magic, Golem creation

Skill: Golem Creator

Info: The second daughter of the Cassius family, she’s a smart and talented woman. She has a straight line to where her interests lie and can be blind to her surroundings. The bird on her shoulder is an upgraded version of the first golem she created.

————————————————————————–

It’s probably because I don’t know much about her. The knowledge that can be obtained is only superficial …… But I’m concerned that the information in the World Library doesn’t match up with what the typical noblewoman is saying and doing right now.

But she is the daughter of the Cassius family, which has power in these parts. Since she’s an immigrant, she won’t be able to misuse it wrongly.

“Does the Cassius family know about this? You didn’t just run away from home, did you?”

“Of course they do. If I do that, I’ll be making trouble for you, Grace-sama. If you’re worried, you can send a letter to my father.”

She smiled at my words as if it was natural. To be honest, it’s nice to have someone who can use magic and has probably learned to handle paperwork as a general education, but I don’t know how much I can trust…….

As I was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door and Galatea came in with a cup of tea. Noel was probably nervous because the other party was a noble, so she took care of it.

“Master, Noah-sama, if you’d like, here …….”

“Fuhi!!”

What was that creepy voice just now? Of course, it’s not me and it’s probably not Galatea, who has a suspecting look on her face. When that happens, it can only be one person and when I turned to look at Noah, she has the same gentle smile as before.

No, if you look closely, she’s looking at Galatea with a glint in her eyes. So, I made small talk with her and decided to let her use one of the guest rooms. Noah says she doesn’t care, but you can’t put a Noble lady in a house that’s not suitable.

“So, Galatea… what do you think of Noah? Did you find anything suspicious?”

When Galatea came back from escorting her to the guest room, I asked her.

“Well, I didn’t find anything suspicious, but I felt a strong sense of excitement and exploration from her. She’s a mysterious person, isn’t she? I didn’t feel any guilty feelings or any desire to harm you.”

“Well… let’s just see what happens……”

I still don’t know what she’s doing here. In the meantime, I decided to write a letter to the Cassius family to tell them that I was taking care of their daughter and for them to know how she was doing.
