Otome Game Mob Villain Chapter 72

As Father left the room I called Deanna and asked her to prepare the bath.

While I was waiting for her, I called out a mory.

"Hi, Rid. You had a good night, didn't you?

I called up mory while I was waiting for her. I was really tired this ti.

mory looked happy, but kindly gave a word of encouragent.

I thanked her and told the purpose of my call.

Did you figure out how to make soap and what substitutions to use?

"The substitute that you can find in nature is 'mukuroji berries."

The peel of the berry seems to foam up and beco soap.

All you need is oil, water, and lye.

(Mukuroji berries? I've never heard of it, but I wonder if it was in a book or sothing. )

"And 'fats and oils'?"

I asked mory.

"Is a mullein a weed or a tree?"

"that kinda sends an image to my eyelids.

When she said that, what ca to mind behind my eyelids was an acorn-like fruit.

I wondered, When have I ever seen sothing like this?

"Okay. Thank you very much. By the way, is it OK to use "fats and oils" or anything else?"

"Yes, I think beef fat and pork fat are good but vegetable oil is also fine."

"Thank you very much. 'll ask you again if I need anything else."

"Wait a minute, Rid."

When we finished talking, the mory stopped, which was unusual.

"Don't push yourself too hard."

"I was worried inside too, you know. See you later."

mory only said what it wanted to say and the communication ended.

I was not going to say anything to anyone, but I mumbled sothing right there and then. "Thank you, mory."

Just as I finished my conversation with mory, Deanna ca back to the room.

It's seems hot springs were ready

"I tried to refuel deana to join in hot spring , but she didn;t listen to .

◇

In a different place, in one of Fara's rooms in the Palace, Asuna was sighing in dismay.

"Hah,...... you don't have to be in such a hurry, Master Rid will be here any minute. Please calm down a little."

He......⁉ Oh, well, no, , I am calm."

This morning, there was a ssage from Rainer to Fara.

The main point is that Rid has regained consciousness safely.

The ssage said that Rid had regained consciousness and that he would like to visit her to apologize for the worry he had caused her.

Fara was very happy and imdiately replied.

She did, but then she suddenly felt an indescribable sense of embarrassnt.

She felt like she couldn't stand still and was wandering around the room all the ti.

Asuna was taken aback by the situation and said.

......" And, Lady Farra. With all due respect, your ears are moving, aren't they?"

"Huh? Oh⁉"

She sat down on a nearby chair, holding her ears with both hands.

She has a constitution that causes her ears to move up and down when she feels favorable feelings.

There are only a few dark elves who have this trait.

If she is conscious of it, they do not move, but if she is not careful, they move in accordance with her emotions.

As Asuna pointed out, Fara blushed a little and took a deep breath.

She then recalled the events that had taken place from the ti she had t Rid until now.

Rid, I was present when he greeted my father.

I was very surprised at his face.

He did not realize it, but I rembered it well.

It was very shocking.

I was so busy with my education from Eltia that I had little or no contact with certain people.

Therefore, the boy who helped when I was lost in Bardia territory left a very strong impression on .

And I couldn't believe he was the sa age as , I was surprised at his self-introduction, but I was thinking about sothing else.

I rember my heart began to pound very loudly when I thought, (There is no doubt, it's definitely him .......)

At that mont, Father asked Rid about his marriage to .

I felt a little minor pain in my heart.

Everyone cos to with the talk of marrying into the empire, saying how pitiful it is.

But I am royalty, and as I learned my mother's words and many other things, I understood, in my own way, the connection between countries and the role of a princess.

So, I am prepared for this marriage in my own way.

However, everyone looked at with pity or , or for my value as a princess.

And when it ca to the marriage, no one congratulated or cheered on with just a few words.

So I was sure that he would say sothing safe and straightforward. That's what I thought.

But he was different.

He said, "I believe that the marriage between Renalute and Bardia should be perford for sure.:

I was a little taken aback by what he said.

And then, perhaps realizing this, he looked at and smiled back.

At that mont, I felt a great sense of relief.

Then, his words gradually resonated in my mind and my heart pounded even faster.

He told that he wanted to marry himself, even if it was a country-to-country relationship.

He told that we should get married not by the agreent of the country or his parents, but clearly from his own words.

That made very happy.

He was the one who willingly said that he wanted to get married, while everyone else was hesitant to do so.

His confidence was very reassuring.

At that ti, Mother had told not to let my heart go to him, but I think I did.

After that, he argued with Father and Norris without backing down.

And he was able to convince Norris and even my father.

His appearance was very reliable, dazzling, and cool.

When it was his turn to introduce himself, he suppressed his nervousness and greeted Norris in a calm manner.

Then my mother pointed out to .

She said, "Your ears are moving. It's not very flattering."

I was so shocked by her words that I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

But then I realized at the sa ti that I was attracted to . Rid.

(I am chard by . Rid-sama. ......)

His rapid growth continued after that.

He treated my brother like a baby and challenged Asuna's swordsmanship without giving up until the very end.

Seeing him like that, my heart grew higher and higher.

Then, an incident occurred at the magic performance.

I don't know the details, but I heard that Norris's terrible provocation made him furious and he perford a great magic.

Everyone was horrified by the huge scale of the spell.

But what he was looking at was not the target, but Norris.

I knew imdiately that he was going to hit Norris with that magic.

At that mont, I was running to him.

He shouted sothing and my father and Master Rainer, who had rushed ahead of , were blown away.

The sight of them scared a little, but I ran through with a single-minded determination to stop him.

Suddenly, I noticed that my brother had co up next to .

Then we both looked at each other and nodded, and I hugged him and tried desperately to convince him.

Asuna also ran to .

Then he nodded to her desperate persuasion and shot his magic high into the sky.

At that mont, there was a great roar in the air and I was very scared.

But he was holding tenderly in his arms as if to protect .

As expected , it took a lot of magic power to release that much magic.

After that, he imdiately fainted.

Father and Master Rainer hushed up the magic he had cast to the people present.

Then they hurriedly carried him to his room in the guest house.

I accompanied them and stayed with him as long as ti allowed.

When it was getting late at night, his room was occupied only by , Asuna, and his escort, Deanna.

Then there was a knock at the door and Master Rainer entered the room.

I heard that he had co to check on him.

He looked at with a surprised look on his face and suddenly said that he wanted to talk with here and now, alone with .

When I responded with my agreent, Asuna and Deanna bowed and left the room.

The sound of the door closing echoed in the quiet room.

Then, Master Rainer gently whispered to .

'I am sorry that my son has caused you so much worry."

'Oh, no, rather it should be us who should apologize. I am sorry."

I was sitting in the chair next to the bed where he was lying.

But I was so surprised by Master Rainer's sudden apology that I hurriedly got up from the chair and answered him.

Mr. Rainer's stern face fell and he looked a little kinder.

Then, in the sa mood, he asked a question.

'With all due respect, what does Princess Farah think of Rid?

"Ha.....⁉ well, you know, I think he is a very nice person......."

I was startled by the sudden question and tried my best to keep my composure as I answered.

I did not realize it, but at this ti, my ears were violently rising and falling.

Hearing my reply, Master Rainer continued gently.

"I am relieved to hear that. Rid was eager to make the princess as happy as he could if he was to marry her. I had hoped that Princess Fara would take a liking to Rid, but it was a ddling of parent. I would like you to keep this matter a secret from Rid."

I said, " ...... yes."

I turned over as I replied.

I felt my face turn red, knowing that he had a feelings for .

And I was so happy that tears filled my eyes.

No one would look at , not my father, not my mother.

The marriage partner would only see as a political marriage partner.

I had always thought so.

I thought he was wonderful, and in fact, my heart was touched by him.

But sowhere along the way, I was worried that he was just like everyone else.

But he was different.

He really looked at from the beginning.

When I thought that, tears naturally welled up.

Master Rainer seed to have noticed sothing wrong with , but he kept quiet for a while.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, wiped my tears and said to the Master Rainer,

"I don't know what will happen yet, but if we decide to get married, I will do my best to make Master Rid happy."

Hearing my words, Master Rainer smiled at with a happy face.

But after I said this, I rembered my mother and felt a little uneasy.

Then, Master Rainer said anxiously.

'...... what is the matter? You look a little anxious?"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Is it all right to ask for advice? I was a little worried, then I made up my mind and said to Master Rainer.

, "...... Actually, my mother has always told that the royal family of the empire is the right person for to marry. Therefore, even if I were to be given the chance to marry Master Rid, I am afraid that my mother would not be satisfied with it. ......"

"I see. However, this marriage is a matter of diplomatic decision. I am sorry to say, but the will of Miss Eltia has nothing to do with it. There is no need to think that deeply about it."

Master Rainer's words were right.

But I think there was a wish in my heart that my mother would give her blessing to our marriage.

I turned my head down without replying. In this state, Master Rainer continued his words.

, "Hm...... these are my words as a parent, but why don't you try to express your feelings to Miss Eltia with your own words once?"

"What do you an ......?"

I asked back, not understanding what Master Rainer ant.

"There is a saying that the opposite of love is indifference. I have heard that Princess Fara has been educated strictly by Miss Eltia. But why is she so strict?"

.".... Isn't it for the sake of a political marriage?"

I am sure that the marriage is for the sake of political scheming.

"It is true that one needs to be educated for the sake of a political marriage. However, the education of your's that I have heard about is beyond the level. I believe that Miss Eltia has so kind of intention in giving you that much education."

"...... Does that an that she dared to give a harsh education? But I don't understand why she would do such a thing."

Was there so kind of intention behind everything Mother had said and done?

I could not understand it no matter how much I thought about it.

I looked at Master Rainer with a troubled expression, and he coughed and spun his words.

"parental love is not only about being kind. Sotis you have to be harsh. There are tis when you have to be a devil at heart. Even if the child hates you, a parent should care for the child. I believe that is 'parental love."

"That is ......."

Master Rainer looked at the sleeping Rid with kind eyes as he narrowed his eyes.

Hearing those words, I began to have doubts about what I had been thinking of Mother.

I have wanted to be recognized by my mother and father.

But I had never really thought about things from their point of view.

As I was looking at him thoughtfully, Master Rainer looked at and said,

"It's getting late today. According to the doctor, Rid will wake up tomorrow at the latest. When he wakes up, I will tell him to pay a visit to you , so please leave for today."

"...... Yes. I understand.'

The soldier told that my mother was calling for as soon as I returned to the Palace, and I imdiately went to her room.

On the way there, the contents of my conversation with Master Rainer ca back to , and I felt mysterious.

"Have you arrived ......? Asuna, you are needed to leave the room.

.".....Yes, ."

When Asuna and I entered the room, Mother quickly sent Asuna out of the room.

Asuna bowed, gave a worried look, and left the room.

It was just and my mother in the room, and the atmosphere was sowhat heavy and tense.

Then, as usual, my mother said in her usual cold tone,

"Where were you until this late at night?""

"I was staying with Master Rid, who has collapsed earlier ."

At my words, Mother's eyes sharpened and she spat out,

". You are married to a mber of the royal family, and yet you are expected to stay up this late at night accompanying a 'monster with no common sense'?"

For the first ti, I felt anger at my mother's words.

Even my own mother couldn't tolerate the idea that Master Rid could be treated as an "out-of-this-world monster."

'Mother, with all due respect, Master Rid is my marriage candidate. Please refrain from such disrespectful words".

, "...... Farah, do you think you are in a position to give an advice? A child should shut up and listen to their parents. It is the imperial family you should be marrying. Such a "monster" is out of your league. I will ask His Majesty to do sothing about it."

What part of Mother's words do I hear of "parental love," Master Rainer?

I do not understand.

For the first ti, I beca angry at Mother's words and shouted in an angry voice.

"Mother, that is too harsh a word. I heard it from Master Rainer. that Master Rid said that he would do his best to make happy when he decides to marry , even if it is a political marriage."

...... Do you think those words are accurate? The imperial nobility is powerful. Do you not think that he said that to confuse your mind? You are shallow, my child, and I am ashad of you."

Mother looked stunned at my words.

I continued in an angry voice.

"The one who is ignorant is you, mother. Isn't Norris the other day a good example of this ? "

'I am ......?' If you have sothing to say, say it clearly."

I told her clearly with tears in my eyes.

"I adore Master Rid, and I would be more than happy to marry him if I could, so please take back what you just said."

"foolish, you are a princess, to speak out of your feelings."

Mother's words angered .

I myself had no idea that I had such feelings.

But I could not allow my mother's words to go on.

Perhaps realizing that my mood of anger was not fading, my mother let out a sigh of exasperation.

Then she said coldly, as if to shun .

'Hah,...... if you insist that much, then do as you please. However, my relationship with you is over today. I will have nothing to do with you at all. You , Princess Fara, think of as a stranger and forget . Is that clear?"

I did not imdiately understand the aning of Mother's words.

But was she that unwilling to acknowledge Master Rid?

I realized that I still had expectations of my mother.

I wanted Mother to say, "I hope your marriage with Master Rid will be successful"

I guess that will never happen.

I still don't know if I can really marry Master Lid.

Still, I could not allow anyone to humiliate the person I had fallen in love with.

I took a deep breath and then said.

'...... I understand. I will not get involved with you. I too will stay away from you at any cost."

, "That's all right, ....... I am done talking to you. Get out of here. Princess Farah."

"Yes, I will. Excuse ."

I bowed to Miss Eltia and left the room.

Then I hugged Asuna who was waiting outside and cried loudly.

I was sad.

I was very sad.

I don't rember what happened after that.

◇ ◇.

The next morning, when I woke up, my face was awful.

And when I woke up, Asuna with a worried look on her face spoke to softly.

, "Princess, are you feeling all right?"

"Yes, thank you. Asuna."

I responded with a look of unconcern on my face.

But Asuna's next words brought back to my senses.

"I've got a call from Rainer-sama. He said that Master Rid has woken up, and he has requested to visit you."

"Oh⁉ visit?"

Yes, I rembered that Master Rainer had said sothing like that yesterday.

I'm sure that's what Master Rainer had said to yesterday.

I"'ll hurry up and get myself cleaned up and ready for the visit.'

'Yes, please."

Asuna smiled a little at Fara, who seed to have regained so of her energy.
