Chapter 447: There Are Things That Cannot Be Dismissed With a Single Word of Talent
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Hey Ed-nyan, whos Lord Kelv?I dont know.
Lord Kelv is the one who recently became Minister of State, replacing Gyneve who was dismissed. What could he be doing in a place like this?
Elsa explained in my place, as I couldnt answer Tias question. By the way, I really didnt know the name. Or rather, should I say I didnt remember it? After all, its been over 100 years in subjective time, and back then I didnt care at all about the internal affairs of the castle. Its only natural that my memory is vague.
Yes!
At that moment, I noticed Margaret clenching her fist and smiling near my waist. I was a bit curious about what made her happy, but Margaret was seriously looking outside through the gap, and I hesitated to call out to her.
Unaware of us, the conversation between Lord Kelv and someone else continued steadily.
About those people Weve traced their footsteps to the town of Agriha. But beyond that
I see. Theyre mice skilled at hiding. They wont let us catch their tails so easily. However, we cant let them slip away and spread an incurable plague. We must somehow find and block the escape route Gyneve created
Nyaan!
Suddenly, Margaret let out a loud cry and flung open the wardrobe doors. Surprised by this unexpected event, both we and the other party froze for a moment. A noble man in his 40s with sharp eyes and a man in his 30s wearing servants clothes the one in red noble attire must be Lord Kelv.
Whos there!? Oh, Your Highness Margaret!?
Thats right, Lord Kelv! Its the Third Princess Cat, Maga-nyan!
C-Cat? Thats Hm? Elsa!? What is the meaning of this! Surely you didnt
We jumped out of the wardrobe after Margaret. Spotting a familiar face among us, Lord Kelv raised his voice sharply.
N-No, Lord Kelv! We are certainly not suspicious!
Would those who arent suspicious hide in a wardrobe and eavesdrop!?
Ugh!? Thats
Were not suspicious at all! Were cats, so we were just lounging in a dark, cramped space!
Lounging? Hey
I-I apologize, Lord Kelv! However, predicting this would be
Glared at by Lord Kelv, the other man bowed deeply and spoke. Lord Kelvs stern expression softened somewhat, and he lets out a big sigh instead.
Hah, thats true. Theres no way we could have known Your Highness Margaret would be playing here. However, Your Highness, I cannot approve. For a princess to be eavesdropping in such a place
Its not eavesdropping! A cats job is to lurk in the darkness, eyes shining, hunting mice! Youre a cat too, Lord Kelv, so you understand, right?
Im a cat?
Yes. You were just talking about mice, werent you?
Thats
Lord Kelvs face turned as sour as it could get at Margarets innocent words. He probably understands that he cant simply order around a princess, and hes not sure how much would get through to a five-year-old girl.
Um, Your Highness? About what we were discussing earlier
By the way, there sure are a lot of mice and cats in this castle, arent there?
? Your Highness, what do you mean?
Ed-nyan well, he was Ed-wan at the time, but when we were walking in the garden, there were people talking about such things in the bushes. They were wearing pendants shaped like cats eyes on their chests It was so lovely, I want one too.
Cats eyes? A pendant like eyes Could it be!? Your Highness, where was this!?
Lord Kelv rushed towards Margaret as if about to grab her, his eyes changing color. But Margaret didnt flinch, instead cutely tilting her head and starting to think.
That was where was it again? Hey Ed-nyan, do you remember?
Huh? Well It was about half a month ago, right? If so I think it was near the base of the northwest watchtower.
The watchtower!? Tch, so its true that whats under your nose is hardest to see Hey, investigate this immediately. Your Highness, I have urgent business to attend to, so please excuse me Elsa, I understand your position, but dont you think youre giving Her Highness too much freedom?
I appreciate your advice.
Before Elsa could finish bowing her head, Lord Kelv left the room with the other person. As their footsteps faded away, the tension that had been flowing between us finally eased.
Lord Kelv seemed quite busy. I feel drained, shall we end todays exploration here?
That would be much appreciated
Elsa let out a voice of deep relief at Margarets words. And beside her, Tia spoke to me.
Still, Maga-nyan is quite calm. Has something like this happened before?
Hm? Ah, yeah. Quite often, actually.
Is that because Maga-nyan is?
The part Tia left vague probably meant to say hero. But I can only give an ambiguous answer to that.
Well, I can only say probably
Among heroes, there are those with what you might call a trouble-attracting constitution. Its a talent, or perhaps a disaster, that draws them into all sorts of troublesome situations with an attraction that surpasses my [Flag Maker], ignoring all logic.
And considering the rate of incident encounters so far, it does feel like Margaret has that talent.
(Well, lets take a look for once.)
On a whim, I focus my eyes and activate [Rainbow Glasses]. This allows me to see Margarets hidden talents and potential, but
(Hmm, its hard to see)
Talents and potential generally become narrower, thinner, and more specific as one ages. So Margarets talents at five years old were extremely difficult to read. In other words, shes still at an age where she can do anything, become anything, so the range is too broad and blurry.
However, its not completely invisible. The first thing I see is a talent for scheming Well, yeah. I see. This talent in children is for mischief and such, so that makes sense. Otherwise, she wouldnt make people into cats and hide in wardrobes.
And then theres Hm?
Ed-nyan? Why are you staring so intently?
Huh!? Ah, no, its nothing nothing at all.
Is that so? Youre a strange Ed-nyan.
It seems Ive made Margaret suspicious by staring so intently. It looks like it might be difficult to keep looking, but hmm?
Well, lets head back! Everyone can go back to normal now.
Ah, what a relief
Ah, that was fun!
Elsa and Tia showed opposite reactions to Margarets words. We start walking back, but here, I risked being glared at by Elsa to stare at Margaret one more time.
Ed-dono? Youve been looking at the Princess quite intently for a while now. Is something the matter?
No, nothing.
?
Elsa gave me a face that said she didnt know how to deal with me as I involuntarily spoke in a stiff voice. Normally, this is where I should laugh it off casually, but I cant do that right now.
(What does this mean?)
The countless talents sleeping within Margaret. And beyond that, the power that had already awakened There, residing within, was an indomitable spirit that only someone who has overcome countless nights of despair could possess.
