Baron House on the Move
Grandma Fel's funeral was held three days later.
There were many people who were indebted to her during her lifetime.
There were many people who remembered her besides those who visited the funeral in person.
However, no one from the Baron household was present at the funeral.
Except for me, Sebas, Martha, Maria, and Rain...
I was angry about that.
It would have been rude not to attend the funeral of someone who had contributed so much to the Baron household.
It is true that Grandma Fel passed away just as they were heading to the royal capital during the spring social circle, but......
Even so...
The funeral ended with a sense of indescribable resentment.
A week after Grandma Fel passed away, I returned to my normal daily life.
Knights' training, work at the Adventurer's Guild, blacksmithing, alchemy, apothecary training, occasional medical visits to the villages, Rain's studies and training...
At first, everyone thought that I was trying so hard to forget about parting with Grandma Fel, but...
That's not right.
It's the opposite. I wanted to test Grandma Fel's [Sage] skill, which is proof of her life.
If I were to explain the [Sage] skill...
To put it simply, it is an image of creating a library in your head. It feels like I've become able to store my knowledge and experiences up until now in a book, and draw them out as soon as I need them.
Besides, the [Sage] skill is not a [copy]. It's something that was [stolen] from Grandma Fel.
In other words, this [Sage]'s knowledge and experience belong to Grandma Fel. That's why I can understand and use things that I didn't know.
As a result of testing Grandma Fel's knowledge and experience, the level of alchemy, apothecary, and other skills increased faster.
Yeah. I was surprised to see that my skill level in sewing and embroidery, which I had never been able to do before, had improved dramatically...
However, perhaps it should be said that Grandma Fel's knowledge and experience lacked knowledge of combat and magic, so I didn't make much progress in that area.
However, both in combat and magic, thanks to the [Sage] skill, the efficiency has improved considerably.
For example, even if it's magic, I can use things like [fireball] without even saying it, I can use multiple of the same magic, I can deploy multiple different types of magic at the same time... It's become quite versatile.
In combat, my body reacts faster than my thoughts, and the arts of each weapon activate faster.
That's how I lived my daily life, trying out the [Sage] skill.
Returning to the usual daily life, summer passed and autumn came.
When dinner was over and I was getting ready for bed, Sebas came to my bedroom.
"Excuse me for disturbing you at this time of night. There is something I would like to discuss with you, Light-sama."
I invited Sebas into my room and listened to what he had to say.
Then I got into a headache......
It seems that Stefano is asking for my engagement elsewhere.
The other party is the daughter of the Santora family, the same Baron family to the west of this territory. She is 15 years old.
The Santora family doesn't have a son to become a legitimate child, and the lord is too old.
In other words, it seems that they are thinking of sending me as a son-in-law to a neighboring territory and essentially increasing their territory...
Normally, it should be the second son, Felika, but he already has a post as a finance bureaucrat.
It seems they don't intend to remove him from this position to get him engaged.
So, it seems like I was the one who they could think of...
"In the first place, I have never greeted anyone in the social circles, is that okay?"
"Lord-sama seems to be planning to have Light-sama make his debut on the social circles next fall when you turn 10. I have been instructed to educate you in the meantime."
Sebas said that and let out a sigh.
"Isn't that making fun of me too much? Things like etiquette, social interaction, and dancing ended when I was three or four years old, right?"
"I bet they don't remember... I reported it in the beginning, but they didn't listen seriously..."
Sebas held his head.
"No... do they really think that using a child they were not interested in as a political strategy will go well?"
Sebas fell silent at this.
Sebas also thinks that there is no way it will go well.
Sebas's silence also made me silent.
Next fall is the limit......
I thought and quietly made up my mind.
Thanks for the update
