86 – Holy Sepulchre and Enlightenment
My mother passed away from magic disease when I was young.
He lived in a separate building his entire life.
‘I have no intention of doing something big.’
After paying her respects to her mother’s grave, her father was notified of her disownment.
There are only people in my family who think of me as a thorn in their eyes.
There is no need to be related.
After choosing a day and training sufficiently in the gravity room.
Let’s go and come back quietly.
※
The yard of my mansion.
When I asked Maya to go to Grace Street, she said she would use her teleportation skills.
-Sabu! I can now use teleportation properly!
Maya exclaimed, letting out her snort.
The teleportation seen last time was immature.
Have you completely mastered it now?
Wizard Michael keeps nodding his head with a satisfied expression.
“The young lady will become a genius who will be remembered forever in the history of magic.”
Highly praised Michael.
Well, since Maya is a dragon, she is familiar with magic.
Michael, who doesn’t know this, seems to just see Maya as a human genius.
One day we will find out that Maya is a dragon.
‘Still, Maya is fast.’
Even considering it is for use, the speed is fast.
Did Maya’s talent to destroy the world shine through?
Teleportation magic is a high-level skill.
This is because the distance between the current coordinates and the coordinates to be moved is set to 0.
It doesn’t work with any amount of magic power.
An inexperienced wizard draws a magic circle on the floor.
However, Maya can teleport long distances without a magic circle.
-I’m going!
Maya, carrying a bag full of things, unleashed her magic.
Pot!
The light rose and we fell into Victoria City.
I don’t remember the coordinates to go directly to Grace’s home, so I came nearby.
Teleportation was successful.
This is ‘City Victoria’, the closest to Grace Street.
“Get in line and come in!”
Guards receiving citizens at the entrance to the castle gate.
It was moved outside of Victoria City.
It’s okay.
Now Maya will be able to use teleportation without Michael.
I brushed off the brush from her body and stroked Maya’s head.
“You worked hard.”
Maya is learning magic from Michael during a recent break.
You can see traces of hard work.
-hehehe.
Maya’s expression relaxed.
Is it really that good to be praised by me?
It’s a different thought, but I think I could also use teleportation magic.
You just need to know the principle since you are using the same magic power anyway.
In my past life, I couldn’t care less about only learning the sword.
Still, I have used some basic magic in my past life.
“The Grace family’s villa is not far from here, so let’s walk.”
I organized my thoughts and took the lead.
To the separate building of Grace Street where I lived.
Probably, my mother’s grave is in the outbuilding.

“Hi… “I am honestly skeptical about signing a contract with the brilliant Princess Cornelia.”
A pot-bellied man who doesn’t know what to do after receiving the contract.
He was the Earl of Kindal, a southern nobleman.
“I’m doing this because it’s necessary, so don’t feel pressured.”
Cornelia is sitting on a chair in the office, drinking strong black tea.
Cornelia, wearing a brown hood, had secretly visited Count Kindal’s house.
‘An iron mine was discovered in Count Kindal’s territory.’
Recently, a large iron mine was discovered in the mountainous area of Count Kindal’s family.
A mine containing a lot of iron ore.
Cornelia was lucky enough to hear this news, and she was the first to sign a contract with the count.
By delivering all of the iron production of the Count Kindal family for five years to Cornelia’s false identity.
‘If not me, another brother will make a contract with Kindal.’
In the not-too-distant future, Cornelia’s brothers will start a civil war.
To become emperor.
Here, iron is something that cannot be left out in war work.
It is a raw material for various weapons and armor, so my brothers will become interested in it over time.
Cornelia let out her sigh invisibly.
If you disrupt the efforts of your brothers like this, your chances of survival will increase.
Abamama, or Emperor EA III, is becoming more and more critical.
You must create your own army.
“hehehe, then the princess. Would you like to inspect the iron mine we discovered?”
Count Kindal bows and smiles kindly.
Cornelia dispatched her field investigation team to the iron mines.
She did not see it herself.
I guess I should see the iron mine once.
Cornelia nodded her head and stood up.
Beepbit!
At that time, Rose received a message from Cornelia’s side.
She swallowed the wind and approached Cornelia.
“…… ?”
Cornelia also heard the sound of the communication equipment.
Cornelia had her doubts.
What kind of news would Rose be surprised by?
Rose told Cornelia her sweet words.
“Degradation…… ! “Sir Evan says she has returned to her home.”
“!”
Cornelia’s eyes widened like a rabbit.
Evan, a benefactor who has just returned from the North.
I was already planning to go see him.
Going to my hometown.
Cornelia decided to investigate, and found out that Evan’s family home was a mean place that treated Evan poorly.
I feel impatient.
Wildfire is boiling inside.
Perhaps the benefactor will be harmed?
Even Cornelia, who was usually calm, couldn’t stand it.
“Get ready now, Rose!”
“Yes? But sir, you were planning to visit the iron mine…….”
Rose asks a question.
Cornelia said while looking at Count Kindal.
“I will visit the iron mine next time. “The contract is over, so it’ll be okay, right?”
“Yes? Alas, whether there is any! “Your Majesty, I am fine.”

The count was shocked, but immediately understood the princess’s intentions.
The count is not entirely tactful.
Cornelia nodded her head at him, smiling awkwardly, and her speech disappeared without a trace.
※
A mansion away from Grace’s main castle.
A small outbuilding that has the feel of an old building.
This is where my mother and I lived when we were young.
‘You came to the right place.’
It seems like it was a long time ago since I last visited.
When I arrived in Victoria City, a road naturally came to mind.
‘…… ‘It’s uncomfortable.’
Low wall of an outbuilding.
It feels familiar.
I don’t have any good memories of this place, so I just feel stuffy.
Myaya was not like that.
-Wow! This is Sabu’s house!
Maya showed interest in the outbuilding with her eyes shining.
It’s not even my home anymore.
Maya clasped her hands together and crossed her entrance with her slow steps.
The front yard of a detached building with few people.
You can see a butler climbing a ladder and painting the exterior wall of the mansion.
An old butler wearing an apron.
Is his name Charon?
‘You came to me with Judith’s marriage story.’
It is a face with a face.
He was also the one who served her mother.
The grave is managed by Deacon Charon.
“…… ! Young master!”
Charon found me, and she lost her brush with which she was painting.
It looks like he didn’t know I was coming.
I walked up to him and shook his head.
“I just came to visit the graveyard, so do your own thing.”
“Oh no, no.”
Charon stepped down from her ladder, clasping her hands in her own apron.
“How can I just do my job when the master is here?”
Charon laughed and took off her apron.
“Let’s go together. “The little madam is waiting.”
Backyard of an outbuilding.
My mother’s grave is in front of a small beech tree.
There is only one tree here.
The wild grasses around me are cut low, and I can feel that Charon is taking care of them.
I came to the tombstone with my group and stopped.
Mother’s tombstone in the shade of a tree.
「Catherine.
He was laid to rest here in 912 by the imperial calendar.
She had a happy life.”
If it’s short, it’s a short phrase.
The last is my mother’s will.
A phrase I rarely saw.
It’s a happy life.
All I remember is my mother apologizing.
Even that is elusive.
I feel like my chest is tight.
I put my hands together.
Close your eyes and empty your thoughts.
Anger builds up, then disappears.
‘Leave it here.’
The way I controlled my emotions in my past life was to endure it.
Because dead people don’t come back anyway.
Even if sadness comes.
Send it down soon.
I opened my eyes.
Maya is still praying with her eyes tightly closed, and Michael is standing awkwardly.
And there is Charon, politely standing behind me.
I asked Deacon Charon.
“My mother…… “Were you satisfied?”
Because it is so old, I would like to check with Charon.
After a moment of silence, Charon opened his mouth with difficulty.
“The little madam… I was always worried about you. “She loved you so much.”
“I see.”
You are saying that your mother was not happy.
I saw Charon turn her horse around.
Well, from what I remember, the people at home also ignored my mother.
I asked again something vague.
“Is there a reason why the tombstone was made at this location?”
“This is my little wife’s favorite place. He often rested here. If you wish… “The tombstone location may be moved.”
“That’s it.”
I shook my head.
If it is a place that my mother liked, there is no need for me to force it to change.
“Thank you for taking care of this place.”
If you see that there is no moss, mold or dust on the tombstone.
This is probably because Charon frequently wipes it with a wet cloth.
I am grateful.
Charon bowed her waist with a faint smile.
“This is the joy of being old.”
I raised her hand to Charon and then turned her head to Maya.
Maya is still praying.
“Maya, you don’t have to force yourself to pray.”
I stopped Maya.
My mother is a complete stranger to Maya.
Maya opened her eyes and shook her head.
-I didn’t force it! Maya likes to pray. The person here is a precious person to you, right?
“…… “That’s right.”
-Maya was grateful in her heart. Because she was able to meet her boyfriend thanks to this person, hehehe.
Maya smiles and says that my mother is a precious person.
Maya’s pure heart seeps into me.
My heart is agitated.
Like suppressed emotions rising up.
Maya released her clasped hands and hugged me.
A small body that wraps around my waist.
Maya looks up at me with a smile.
A young voice continues.
-Did you gain strength too? If you pray to your amazing sister, you will gain strength!
Even though it is a simple word, it gives you something to think about.
Maya became motivated after praying at her sister’s grave.
…… I’m not the type of person to depend on anyone.
-Because we exist thanks to the love of those who are no longer there!
“We exist thanks to the love of those who do not have anything?”
-Yes! Because I met her older sister, I can cherish others.
I was shocked by the questions and answers that followed.
Just as her older sister Dragon loved Maya.
I exist because my mother loved me.
…… Is it.
If I had a difficult past, I just endured it and moved on.
Maya cherishes the past.
In some ways, it’s a simple thing.
Something I never thought of in my past life.
A kind of enlightenment.
Her stuffy mind was relieved.
The agitated mood subsides.
This is not dependent.
Maya is thankful for those who have passed. She is grateful, but she does not depend on her sister Yong.
Praying to the dead.
Even if it is a painful past.
I cherish my past and let it pass.
I guess I can do the same to my mother.
“…… You to me… “You are teaching.”
They say there is something to be gained by teaching students.
I feel it.
The pure Maya looking at me is captured in my memory.
-Oh…… ! I didn’t say this to teach you!
Maya quickly denied it, her expression becoming awkward.
I was grateful to Maya for teaching me.
That’s nice. He can learn too.
