Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 48.1

After finishing the meeting with Alberic, I was out of breath just from walking from the royal family’s area to the dormitory.

Although the place where I was stabbed only has a faint scar now and doesn’t hurt when I move, it seems I haven’t fully recovered the blood I lost.

“Thank you for your hard work, Yuto-sama.”

“Yeah, honestly, I’m tired. I didn’t think my condition hadn’t recovered this much.”

I plopped down on the sofa, lacking the energy to put up a brave front in response to Araseli’s words.

It seems that Umino-san and the others went out, having been called by Alberic’s mother, the second queen, to discuss a magic-based spa treatment.

In other words, apart from the guard soldiers, only Araseli and I are in the dormitory, but I don’t even feel like being alone with her during the day.

“Congratulations, Yuto-sama.”

“Huh… oh, you mean about the peerage?”

“Yes, once you are appointed as a marquis and marry Bridget-sama, you will truly join the ranks of the great nobles.”

Congratulations… or so she says, but Araseli doesn’t look happy at all.

I mean, I don’t feel it’s something to celebrate either.

“A great noble… it doesn’t feel real. Besides, I have no intention of marrying Bridget-sama.”

“What? She’s a princess, and she’s interested in you.”

“How should I put it… I’m not good with that type of girl. And besides…”

“And besides?”

“As long as I have Araseli by my side, I don’t need a peerage.”

“Yuto-sama…”

Yes, as long as I can see that smile, I don’t need anything else.

I spread my arms and hugged Araseli, pressing my lips against hers.

When I placed my hand on her butt, she glared at me as she pulled her lips away.

“Yuto-sama, you have an important event tomorrow.”

“Ugh… fine. But once I’m better, I won’t hold back.”

“Yuto-sama, Kazumi and the others live with us, remember…”

This building is supposedly a guest house for foreign dignitaries, but the walls are thin, and it seems Umino-san and the others noticed my activities with Araseli last night.

I mean, Araseli was pretty intense too.

“Even so, I won’t hold back.”

“Oh, what am I going to do with you…”

Despite her words, Araseli didn’t seem entirely displeased, or at least that’s what I thought.

After lunch, I obediently got into bed and quietly rested my body.

In the evening, an unexpected person visited the dormitory.

It was Ekkels, who oversaw the castle’s decorations.

“Hey, Yuto, how’s your health?”

“It’s been a while, Ekkels-sama. I’m far from fully recovered, but I’m managing to stay alive.”

“You did well during the wyvern incident. And you survived. Considering the current situation, it’s almost certain that Alberic-sama will succeed to the throne. To give him that final push, I want you to focus on the treatment once your health is back.”

“Leave it to me. I’ll complete the treatment as soon as possible so Alberic-sama can receive the promise of the next king from the current king.”

“I appreciate it.”

Thinking back, if Ekkels hadn’t recognized my ability, I wouldn’t be enjoying my current favorable treatment.

Above all, I wouldn’t have met Araseli.
