“Elt-san, please sign these papers next.”

A hand quickly reaches out from behind me and places papers on the desk.

The document is in response to the disrespect that Dogeu recently showed and includes a promise to pay a not-so-cheap sum of money.

“…What is it?”

I move my head to look behind me, and my eyes lock with Laura’s.

I think I was already a few steps behind you until yesterday……

“That’s the last part of today’s paperwork. When you’re done, we’ll have lunch ready for you, so let’s move on.”

“Eh? Already? I thought it would have been a bigger pile.”

I’ve seen piles of paperwork everyday and it suddenly seems like I have less work to do.

“I have a list of similar papers that you have just signed, and I have put together a list of them for you to sign.”

I recall that there was indeed a document with beautiful handwriting and a bundle of papers underneath it.

I remember it was very easy to do, just as Laura said.

“…That said, did you read that many documents and put them on one sheet with easy-to-understand explanations?”

And that’s not even counting the ten or twenty I signed. In other words, Laura had gone through dozens of times that many documents.

“I’m used to reading documents on a regular basis. This is normal, right?”

Laura says this as she tilts her head. It’s obviously an unusual skill, but I guess there’s no point in pointing it out here.

I signed the last piece of paper and finished today’s work.

After work, Laura and I were having lunch together in the guest dining room.

I sat at the host’s table and Laura sat to my left. So far, she had not accepted my invitation to have dinner with me, but today, I asked her to join me and she agreed.

“Hee, Laura studied abroad in Glorizal until recently?”

This would also give me a chance to ask what I have not been able to ask before.

Thinking that she was Alice’s younger sister, I felt a strong affinity for her, and I was talking to Laura.

“…Yes, exactly one year ago now.”

She answered that as she glanced at me. I couldn’t read the meaning of her gaze.

“What kind of place is Glorizal?”

I happened to make a connection with Leon the other day, and I’m curious about foreign countries, too.

“Surrendered by mountains, the country is covered in ice and snow for most of the year.”

“It’s cold, but then again, it’s either that or a snow covered landscape……”

I can only imagine what a beautiful sight it must be.

“If you go north of the capital of Glorizal, you will find a sea called, ‘North Sea’. From there, many unusual goods and delicacies come in from abroad by boat, and the freshly caught fish is eaten raw or dried, and the taste is exquisite.”

“That’s…Something I’d like to visit.”

Laura narrated it well and I was intrigued by the Kingdom of Glorizal.

“I believe there was a mansion on the North seam among the rewards. If it’s you, you should have no problem passing through. If you are interested, you may want to visit once.”

“Right, that might be interesting.”

I would have to discuss it with Serena, Alicia, and Marie, but it would be good to make a side trip before returning to Irkutu.

“But still, you’re awfully knowledgeable. Did you learn about it because you were going to study abroad?”

The princess must have done a lot of research beforehand if she was going to study abroad. I ask Laura the question……

“No, I suddenly had to study abroad, so I gathered a lot of information after I got there.”

When she says that much, Laura puts the tableware down and looks at me.

“My father and sister hated me.”

“Eh?”

I was so shocked when I heard those words that my mind went black.
