Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 49.1

“Lord Yuto, please wake up…”

I was gently shaken, and my consciousness began to rise from sleep.

The morning sun streaming through the lace curtains was dazzling, but the breeze blowing through the window was surprisingly cool.

“Good morning, Araseli.”

“Good morning, Lord Yuto.”

Araseli, who had already dressed and prepared herself, exchanged a good morning kiss with me.

“How are you feeling?”

“Hmm… I’m not quite feeling energetic.”

“Lord Yuto…”

Even though it was morning, when Araseli glanced at my less-than-energetic groin, she seemed exasperated, but I genuinely felt something was off.

Normally, a healthy high school boy would be full of energy in the morning, and that’s how it had been for me up until now.

It’s probably because the blood I’ve lost hasn’t been fully replenished yet, so I’m not quite back to full strength. However, compared to yesterday, I’m feeling better. If I fully recover, I wouldn’t hesitate even in the morning, but for now, I’ll take it easy.

“It’s cool this morning.”

“Yes, it seems the castle’s barrier has been restored.”

“Oh, I see…”

Araseli had mentioned before that the royal castle of Yurefelt Kingdom is covered by a dome-shaped barrier that regulates the internal temperature. I’m not sure if they restored the barrier in time to avoid holding the memorial service ceremony under the scorching sun, or if the ceremony was scheduled because the barrier would be ready, but the coolness is a relief.

It seems that those who work in the castle, who had evacuated to the town, are also participating in the castle’s memorial service. According to what Araseli heard, those who had evacuated were called back immediately after the wyvern extermination to start the restoration work on the castle.

I imagine that Tariq, whom I worked with as part of the cleaning crew, and Master Udai have also resumed their work. I wonder what they’ll think if they find out I’ve been appointed as a noble.

I was hoping to hang out with Tariq in town again, but that might be difficult now.

In the dormitory living room, Ms. Umino and the others were setting out breakfast.

“Good morning, Kirikaze-kun.”

“Good morning. Ms. Umino, you’re attending the memorial service too, right?”

“Yeah, we’re supposed to line up with the First Prince. I heard it’s to inform the nobles that we’re now on this side, but I’m worried about being resented by the people we used to work with.”

“I see, you guys had been working to benefit the Second Prince, after all. But there’s no choice. If that guy became the next king, we wouldn’t be able to live peacefully.”

“I understand. We have no choice but to make Lord Alberic the next king and live under his protection.”

The struggle for the throne has definitely shifted in Alberic’s favor. Now, it’s just a matter of making the nobles realize that Bernort is a sinking ship and putting an end to the factional disputes.

After finishing breakfast, I changed into the attire for the ceremony. I put on a black outfit resembling a knight’s uniform, and Araseli slicked back my hair with hair oil.

When I wore the bronze medal, said to have been used by the king three generations ago, I looked more dignified and appeared two or three years older than usual.

“Lord Yuto, it suits you well.”

“Thanks, but this is pretty heavy.”

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah, I’m standing in for Lord Mauroni today, so I can’t afford to look weak.”
