The Noble Lady Without Magic Aims to Become an Adventurer! - Chapter 55

“Fars-kun, Fars-kun.”

“Yes, Senior Yele? What is it?”

I responded while channeling magic into the magic circle as part of Senior Yele’s research.

“What do you like about Marloa?”

The directness of his question left me speechless.
“…Well, we’ve been together since childhood, so there’s that. But beyond that, she’s cute, and even when people mocked her for not having magic, she always had the strength to push back. She’s perceptive about people’s emotions. While she acts cheerful on the surface, I know how much effort she puts in behind the scenes, working harder than anyone and crying in private. I just can’t leave her alone.”

“Do you want to marry her?”

“Wh-what are you suddenly saying?!”

“Hey, you stopped channeling magic. Keep it flowing.”
“It’s because you’re asking such strange questions, Senior Yele!”

“I’m completely serious. So, do you want to marry Marloa?”
“…I’d like to, but I don’t have a title.”

“A title? Your magic comes from your mother, but your looks are identical to your father’s, aren’t they? Why don’t you go meet him?”

How terrifying. Just how much can Senior Yele discern with his magic? He asked so calmly and matter-of-factly that I didn’t know how to respond.

My mother used to be a noble but said she was abandoned by my father when she became pregnant with me. The pained look on her face whenever my father was mentioned made me hesitant to ask her more. I assumed he had rejected her harshly.

“I have no idea who my father is. All I know is that my mother was abandoned by him and had to rely on Marquis Efsée.”

“I see. If your father isn’t an option, then winning the martial arts tournament is the best path forward.”

“That’s true.”

“You’ll win easily, Fars.”

“It won’t be easy, but I’ll do my best.”

“I hear the Gauss Marquis couple is eager to have her as their daughter-in-law. You should hurry.”

“…”

“Well, if it’s just for a little while, I could hold them off for you.”

“Really? That would be amazing! But I have nothing to repay you with.”

“Hmm, as for a return favor…”

I feel like I’ve gained a powerful ally in Senior Yele.
