Episode 97 – A Letter from the Family
More than a week has passed since Master Alberto left the Royal Academy for some important business.
From the day Bocchan left, I started to learn about magic and medicine in earnest from Professor Julia in the infirmary.
The magic and medicine taught by Professor Julia are truly amazing and miraculous.
It was the first time I knew that the human body had so many bones and organs.
Professor Julia’s knowledge made me realize how much fun it is to learn.
So, these days, I’m always studying hard to digest Professor Julia’s teachings while reducing my sleeping time.
I’m sure someday I’ll be able to use the magic and medicine I’ve learned, but I hope that at least Master Alberto doesn’t have to use it.
I am learning magic and medicine in order to get a noble status like Professor Julia so that I can heal you and stand by you.
Still, my heart hurts so much when I think of you being hurt.
It’s as if countless needles are piercing my heart from all sides.
Boss Alberto is the master I serve, but he is also a lovely young lover with an 11-year age difference.
Of course, he’s only young, but he’s already surpassed me in height and strength a long time ago.
Because you are a sword master.
I came to know how great the realm of being a sword master was after entering the Royal Academy.
From noble mtl dot com.
Until then, I only vaguely knew how great it was, but now I know how great it is to be a sword master.
To know about this, you first need to know how strong the person who handles the aura is.
I heard from servants serving other nobles that even if you become an aura user, you will gain a powerful body that is incomparable to that of ordinary people.
I’ve heard of servants who say they’ve spent the night with such a person from time to time, but it’s rude to compare it to a normal person.
I felt envious when I heard the story of the servant who blushed and said that he couldn’t rest at all until the sun went down and the sun rose again the next day, not just for about an hour.
Even an aura user, he made an unforgettable night for that user, but the master sword master who went beyond that and once again surpassed the level of an aura expert…….
Hmmm. I’ll just have to think about this.
Legally, you are considered an adult after 15, but in the aristocratic world, first experience is acceptable at 18.
Precisely, it is recognized only when you graduate from the Royal Academy.
Normally, it is said that the nobles’ first experience is with a fiance chosen by the family.
It is natural in the aristocratic world to save precious first experiences for each other.
Of course, it is said that there are aristocrats who experience free love without a fiancé appointed by their family.
As expected, each person and family is different, right?
“Nina? Is the magic messed up? Should I focus?”
“Oh, sorry.”
Oops, it looks like the magic got messed up because he had other thoughts while practicing magic.
Professor Julia is usually very kind, but when she teaches magic or medicine, she becomes very strict.
“Didn’t I always tell you? Healing magic and medicine deal with people’s lives, so you should never lose sight of them.”
“Sorry.”
“Hu, no. I understand. Didn’t you say that Alberto went away and didn’t hear from you for a week?”
“Yes… ….”
Yes.
Actually, Bocchan said that he would contact me every day before he left, but after he left, he contacted me for a few days, and then from one day, he stopped contacting me at all.
Professor Julia said that if the portable communication crystal ball is far away, there are cases in which communication may not work properly.
Professor Julia, who knows more about magic than I do, is that accurate?
Anyway, I’m waiting for you to contact me again.
I’m working on something important, but I don’t want to contact you first and ruin the important thing, so I’m holding back as much as possible.
Boss, I hope you come back soon.
If you come back injured, don’t worry.
With the things I learned from Professor Julia, I’ll treat you perfectly.
–
After receiving tutoring from Professor Julia, I returned to my room to find a letter from my family.
The seal of the Maidern family was stamped on the outer envelope.
Even the sealing wax was stamped with a pattern symbolizing the head of the Maidern family.
Perhaps this letter must have been sent by the head of the household.
I’m sure he sent it because he was curious about how well the boy was doing at the academy?
However, it is my job as the Bocchan’s handmaid to check who the sender and recipient of the letter are.
I lifted the letter to confirm the sender and recipient of this letter.
[Sender: ‘Count Meidern’, head of the Maidern family]
[Recipient: Handmaid ‘Nina Esselton’]
[Category: Urgent]
What? The sender is the owner, but the recipient is me.
Also, the category is set to urgent, right?
Did something happen to the family?
Since the recipient is listed as me, I tore off the wax that sealed the letter and took out the contents to check.
[This is delivered by Dittorio Harun Maydern, head of the Maidern family, to Nina Esselton, Alberto’s handmaid.]
The first sentence is written as if the head of the family is talking to the servants.
Invoke the other person’s status first, then their name, and what you’re trying to say is written down.
I read the letter slowly.
[As soon as you receive this letter, I order you to return to the Maidern family.]
Uh huh? The family lord suddenly called me.
What happened?
Why did the head of the family call me?
[You are in charge, my son. Alberto Salihar Maydern goes missing in the wild…….]
Tuduk.
I couldn’t believe my eyes for a moment.
The boy… In unexplored territory… Missing?
Missing? Missing?
You say that the young boy, that strong boy, has gone missing?
I thought the head of the household was playing a joke with the letter.
Sometimes, very occasionally, the head of the household would play pranks on the servants.
So I thought this was just a prank the head of household was playing on me.
I picked up the letter I had dropped and started reading again slowly from the previous sentence.
[You are in charge, my son. The news is that Alberto Salihar Maydern has gone missing in the wilderness.]
[This is not a joke. Alberto went missing in an unexplored area, and I sent you this letter to bring you to the family in preparation for any unexpected situation.]
[If you stay there, you don’t even know when you will be in danger. So please return to the family as soon as possible.]
[The head of the Maidern family, Dittorio Harun Maidern.]
[PS. This letter is absolutely no joke. I speak in the name of myself, Dittorio Harun Meidern.]
After reading the contents of the letter, I suddenly felt dizzy.
Is the boy really missing?
I took this letter and headed to the office of the Marquis of Sebatia.
It is rare to see people running in the Royal Academy, so many people are looking at me running in the academy.
However, the matter was too urgent to be conscious of their gaze.
Your son, your son… I couldn’t accept the fact that I was missing.
So I just ran.
The Marquis of Sebatia must know something.
I headed towards Marquis Sebatia’s office, prepared to be punished, and saw Marquis Sebatia about to open the door and enter.
“Hu, Marquis! Please wait a moment!”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Um… ….”
The Marquis looked at me and suddenly hardened his face.
The expression of the Marquis looking at me is not very good.
“Ha ha ha, Marquis, why did you come here even though you knew it was rude…….”
“I know, Miss Nina… Perhaps, you heard the news about Alberto.”
From the mouth of the Marquis of Sebatia, the boy’s name finally came out.
By the way, what? Are you hearing the news?
“Ah, I received a letter from the head of the household. Bocchan… I heard that the young master went missing…….”
“Haa… ….”
The Marquis of Sebatia suddenly sighed.
What the hell, why are you sighing?
“I’m sorry. Alberto’s disappearance…….”
It’s true.
Ah, ah.
Ah, ah, .Ah ah, no, no!
Bocchan, there’s no way he’s gone missing!
“That is a lie, right? Isn’t it? Bocchan, that strong bastard is missing?”
“I’m sorry. Alberto is missing, and now we’re trying to find a trace, but we can’t find a trace of Alberto anywhere.”
The words of Marquis Sebatia, who looked at me and said he was sorry, lingered in my ears.
“No, no, there is no way the young master has gone missing… ….”
I couldn’t believe it.
No, I didn’t want to believe it.
At any moment, the boy shows up and voila! It’s a lie! I think I’m going to shout.
Yet, you have to accept it.
Mr.
“I’m sorry!”
You are missing.
