Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 47.3

It’s a situation that shouldn’t happen, but Bridget, influenced by picture books and the like, seems to have crafted herself into a tragic heroine with an otaku mindset.

And she seems to believe that I, who defeated the wyverns and saved the kingdom, rescued her from tragedy.

Isn’t that not just flowers blooming, but rather being rotten?

“No, no matter how many wyverns I defeated, I’m just a commoner…”

“What are you saying? Yuto, you are set to be conferred the title of marquis.”

“What? Marquis?”

“You saved the country by defeating five of the six wyverns. A baron’s or viscount’s title wouldn’t be enough.”

“No, suddenly being made a marquis might not sit well with the other nobles.”

“Why not? You have the achievement of defeating the wyverns and the skill to remove the curse of the Ao-Yami. The nobles can understand how much they benefit from you now and might benefit in the future.”

In this country, the birthmarks called the curse of the Ao-Yami are not supposed to be discriminated against.

However, in reality, those with marks on their faces hide them with matching cloth, and some noble children are unable to inherit their family titles because of their marks.

Alberic, in front of me, is a typical example of this.

Additionally, some women have had their marriages fail because of marks on their bodies.

Naturally, if such things happen, disputes arise within the family, and if I am the only one who can solve it, the nobles will recognize my importance.

“So, neither I nor my father or mother—well, maybe not my mother—are forcing my sister or stopping her or Yuto.”

“No, even if you say that suddenly…”

“It’s not like the treatment will start today, so I’ve given you time to think.”

“Well…”

“Well, it’s natural to be confused if you’re suddenly told about being made a marquis or marrying into the royal family.”

“Marriage?”

“You don’t think you can fool around with a royal and then walk away, do you?”

“No, no! I’m just so confused that I can’t keep up.”

“I see, well, that’s fine, but if you make a move, be prepared for it.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“And make sure you rest today so you don’t embarrass yourself and tarnish Maurooni’s name at tomorrow’s ceremony, alright?”

“Yes, I understand.”

Feeling that the conversation was over, I thought of returning to the dormitory, but Araseli, who had been waiting in the corner of the room, signaled to me.

“Oh… Your Highness, I almost forgot the important matter.”

“About Yuto’s comrades?”

“Yes, do you have any information leading to their whereabouts?”

“Unfortunately, there is still confusion within the Eberwein territory, and information is not coming through as expected. I’ve instructed my men to continue gathering information and to protect them once found. It might take some time, but we won’t abandon them.”

“Understood, thank you.”

Since Alberic seemed to be directing the reconstruction efforts, I asked to be informed as soon as any information about my classmates came in and returned to the dormitory.
