[Physis's POV]
At Adiluns recomndation, I decided to stay in Rodenov for the ti being.
When I told my father about it, he readily told to stay well and co back when I want.
But the original promise of probation would still remain the sa as before.
I wondered if he had completely relieved his worries by looking at my recent action.
Rodenov also did not show any objection.
Adilun told to stay in Rodenov, and since I had won an overwhelming victory in the great duel, the people of Rodenov didnt hate now.
No, rather, the knights and so maids were looking at with favors.
Life in Rodenov was passable. There were no problems, nothing special...
I just trained with the knights at the gymnasium every morning, and as soon as the training was over, I just hung around with Adilun when she was practicing magic or when she was reading in the library.
She asked questions from ti to ti, and I answered her according to my subjective nature.
There were tis when Adilun smiled with satisfaction, and there were tis when she puffed out her cheeks in displeasure.
Today when I was sparring and chatting with Sir Lucas, Mina, a maid with light blonde hair who assists Adilun, ca up to .
Sir Physis.
What is going on?
My lady is calling for you.
Adilun. Where is she?
She is in the study. I think she wants to talk about sothing today.
I will go right away.
Alright.
She bowed her head toward , and followed , stepping behind as I headed toward the study.
Sir Physis. Are you comfortable living in Rodenov?
Yes, I'm very comfortable here. I like this cold weather.
Yes?
Mina tilted her head as if she was puzzled by my words.
Why, did you think I will not like it?
Yes. Since you lived in the warm Ortaire, I wondered if you would prefer that climate.
I like the warm climate too. I like it but If youre breathing the cold wind in cold weather, your lungs will get cold and youll feel refreshed. And that cold refreshing feeling is indescribable.
If you tell her that, my lady, she will really like it. Hehe. Do you know that Sir, even though you were hanging out with my lady, you never said anything yourself, and always only answered her words.
Did I?
Yes. If I am to guess Perhaps the young lady would like to hear Sir Physis talk about himself. It doesnt need to be anything grandiose. Just what you like, what kind of weather you like Even a small thing like this will please my lady.
Right. I will rember that. Thank you, Mina.
Im glad I was helpful.
As soon as the words were finished, Mina knocked on the door of the study and said to Adilun.
Miss. Sir Physis is here.
Co on in.
Then, Sir. I have sothing else to do, so Ill go. May you and miss have a good ti.
The fair-haired, extrely respectful lady-in-waiting for her master opened the door for and bowed her head.
.
.
.
.
Have you finished your training?
Yes. By the way, what did you call for?
Because of this.
Adilun showed the unsealed letter with a dark face.
A Letter? What letter is it?
I heard that the young nobles of the north are having a separate eting this ti. I dont know why theyre trying to gather Seeing as the proper purpose was not written down, it seems that they are planning to hold a social gathering for the first ti in a while. This is the invitation.
Social gathering Are you planning to go?
I dont think I want to go. But, Rodenov is the representative of the northern nobility. If the successor doesnt go, there will be rumors going around behind the scenes. So .
Were you thinking of asking to go with you?
Yes.
Adilun nodded ekly.
From now on, you will have to live in the north, and if you beco the son-in-law of Rodenov, you will have to run into them too.
Then there is no need to worry. I will go with you.
As soon as I gave the confirmation, Adiluns expression brightened for a mont. But then it got dark again, and I could guess why.
Northern nobility. I didn't know what kind of people they were because I hadn't t them in person, but First of all, there were many people who kept Adilun in check in the novel.
Behind her back, they would gossip about her. That was why as soon as she saw the letter, she must have been worried about it.
Just the fact that she had to face those who were not kind to her must be a burden for her.
I feel sorry for that, So I said to her involuntarily.
Wait, would you like to walk?
Yes? Ah yes. I just wanted to get so fresh air too.
Then lets go.
She put the letter back on the desk and got up.
.

.
.
How is life in Rodenov?
The sa question that Mina had just asked ca out of her mo. My answer, of course, was bound to be the sa as then.
Fine. It wasnt particularly difficult to adapt to, and the people of Rodenov treated kindly after the great duel.
Thats fortunate. Co to think of it, Ive heard the knights say that your skills are so great that their skills improve just by sparring with you
Its an honor if they think so.
Even Sir Lucas didnt hold back his praise.
Certainly Sir Lucas seed to be a good man. Originally, when a person is defeated, there will always be so bitterness left behind in one way or another, but I couldnt see any such bitterness in him.
Yes. The fact that he was able to reach the level he is now stems from that character. The attitude of not dwelling on defeat, and willing to learn even a little from those who are superior to him As a result, Sir Lucas was able to beco the most outstanding knight in Rodenov. He is the pride of Rodenov.
Exactly
A cold wind blew in an instant, and Adiruns hair was disheveled.
Oh The wind is strong. Co to think of it, arent you uncomfortable because of the weather?
Because of the wind, she suddenly asked about the weather. Perhaps, she was thinking the sa thing as Mina earlier.
Rembering Mina I did not hold back either.
No. Rather good. After training in the morning, when Im out in the cold air I feel refreshed and my lungs feel so alive because of the cold. Ortaire is a warm area, so it was quite hot even if I trained in the morning, but it was nice because it wasnt like that in Rodenov.
Aha I guess you hate the heat?
Hot or cold, if I had to choose which cold I prefer, I would choose the cold one.
If I ask, yes. Cold is better. Sotis when my head hurts or when Im in the cold wind, there are many tis when my thoughts are organized. Of course, a blizzard is not pleasant.
But. When there is a snowstorm, all sorts of things happen.
By the ti the trivial stories continued, and her mood was relieved to so extent, I asked her about things related to the Northern nobles.
Ah, Adilun. I have a question about the social gathering, can I ask it?
Yes. Ask anything.
Where is the social gathering held this ti?
The place where the social gathering is held is the Devaton family. Its a family that has quite a few strong soldiers. It is a family that is always in a position to fight monsters.
Devaton Could you tell about the family that is coming to this social gathering? I think thats how well be able to respond when we et.
Well Then lets go to the study first and finish the story there? Because I think the explanation will be quite long.
Yes.
Positive attitude, nice to see.
Saying that, Adilun touched the horn on her head with a satisfied expression. Maybe That must be a habit of hers; it must be sothing she does when sothing satisfying happens.
It was so cute that I couldnt help but laugh.
Hahahaha.
Well? Whats wrong?
No, its pretty cute how youre fiddling with the horns.
Ah?
She montarily lowered her hand. Her face seed to have turned red.
Ah, this. T-that.
Its okay. You dont have to answer. I think its a habit that cant be easily changed. But Adilun. I have a question for you.
Yes?
Please don't think I'm making fun or sothing. And tell if it's bad but I just wanna ask that... Isnt that horn heavy? They seems to be sowhat inconvenient.
Ah yes. Its not that heavy. And its not particularly uncomfortable. Well, at least, it wasnt until that pillows got stuck in horns when I slept, and there were tis when my clothes got caught in horns and it was a headache But Im used to it, so its okay.
Aha . By any chance, if its really not rude, can I touch it? After seeing Princess Lobelia touch it in the past, I wanted to touch it at least once.
Isnt that a question people usually have? The psychology of wanting to touch sothing unique.
Uh, um that.
For so reason, she seed quite troubled.
Okay sigh, its okay sigh. It doesnt wear out anyway.
