Chapter 92

"Hedda, you should greet first."

"Oh, oh, aren't we past formalities?"

Looking at it this way, Hilt seems almost like Hedda's secretary. Perhaps this is Hilt's practice for serving as my future wife.

Well, I don't think there's anyone as wild as Hedda, though.

"Hello, Hedda, Hilt. Welcome. I'm sorry for calling you here so suddenly."

"Good afternoon, Lord Albert, Lord Nebel."

"Oh, Lord Albert, Lord Nebel... I'm glad you're safe."

Hilt's expression softened as she looked at my face.

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

"No, I'm just glad you weren't seriously injured. And... I'm really glad you're alive..."

Hilt's voice choked up, and she looked down. I nudged Nebel with my elbow. Nebel looked at me, then at Hedda, and finally at Hilt before approaching her and offering a handkerchief.

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

Even as he apologized, Nebel didn't tell Hilt that he wouldn't do anything dangerous again or that she shouldn't cry.

"Next time, I'll take you with me."

Hilt looked up at Nebel's words.

"Let's go together."

"Okay!"

Hilt nodded several times at Nebel's words.

Such a sweet young love.

I wonder if I can ever have someone I can feel that way about?

To be honest, the Marquess family can marry commoners. But since we are nobles, we need someone who can function as a noble.

So, I should probably think that my marriage partner should be a noble lady, and it would be nice if we could fall in love.

What about Hedda? Hedda's path is almost set. If nothing changes, she will become a candidate for the engagement of the Second Prince and eventually the Crown Princess.

It's unclear what kind of relationship she will build with Ignatius, but it doesn't seem like it will turn into love.

While I was pondering, Sylt came to call.

"Lord Albert, the tea is ready."

Led by the twins, I was guided to the room often used for tea parties.

The round table was already set with tea and snacks, and all we had to do was take our seats.

Nebel and Hilt sat on either side of me, and Hedda sat across from me.

Lance served the tea prepared by Sylt, and the twins bowed and left the room. The door was left slightly open, and I'm sure the servants were waiting in the hallway.

"Thank you all for coming today."

First, I thanked them for coming despite my sudden call.

"I asked Hilt and Hedda to come today to tell you what happened to Nebel and me after we defeated the Hippogriff, and to share something I want you all to hear."

I decided to start by telling Hilt and Hedda what happened to Nebel and me after we defeated the Hippogriff.

First, I told them about the story I heard from the Silver Dragon and that I have memories from my previous life in a different world. I also mentioned that Nebel is the only one who knows about my memories from this world, and I asked them not to tell anyone else.

Both Hilt and Hedda listened to my story seriously without making fun of it.

"What a grand story."

"But divine blessings are not uncommon. My family, the Württemberg family, is blessed by the Sword God, Schwer. Every few decades, a member with outstanding sword talent is born, so in our family, many feel the presence of the gods more closely than others."

That's quite different from me.

Until now, I thought that gods were something people might rely on emotionally, but they were just idols.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Rave is not descended from the gods like the imperial family of Japan, nor are they priest-kings, so the top leaders do not participate in religious ceremonies as priests.

However, after hearing the story of the Silver Dragon, I think there might have been many divine blessings in the past. Is this a matter of faith?

"I believe Lord Albert's story. Lord Nebel was with you, and you brought back a scale from the Silver Dragon. Dragons do exist. It's romantic. I wish I could have seen one."

Hedda's eyes sparkled with excitement as she thought about the dragon.

Hilt, while not as excited about the dragon as Hedda, believed my story.

I'm glad they accepted it.

"Actually, what I've said so far is just the prelude."

I decided to tell them something I hadn't even told Nebel yet: that the Princess Einhorn is also a reincarnated person.

"First, you understood that I have memories from my previous life, and that it was a different world, right?"

I asked for confirmation, and they all nodded.

"There are others who have been reborn from the same world into this one. I think someone as perceptive as Hedda might already know who it is."

At my words, Hedda narrowed her eyes like a cat that has spotted its prey and smiled.

"Princess Einhorn, right?"

Of course, she figured it out.
