Chapter 2556: A Conversation About the Tea Party ~ ~ The One with Stomachache ~ ~
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Granted permission by the Dragon King Magnawell to introduce herself including her family name, the pressure weighing down on Eris was, of course, immense. However, as the heir of the Hamilton Marquisdom, she had already endured strict lady education, successor training, and the intrigue-filled noble society. She quickly straightened her posture, ensuring that neither tension nor intimidation showed in her expression or body, and gave her self-introduction with proper decorum.[I humbly offer my greetings to the great and noble King of all dragonkind. My name is Eris Dia Hamilton. I am the heir of the Marquis Hamilton family, nobles of the Archlesia Empire.]
[Fumu I am Magnawell Baskus Lardo Kurtzvald. As one who is a friend of Miyama Kaito, I permit you to address me by name. I see, so you are Hamilton Marquisdoms girl huh I have heard that it is quite an outstanding noble house.]
[I am deeply honored.]
Until obtaining his current special avatar, Magnawell would send his subordinates as representatives to attend events such as the Founding Festival, so it could not be said that he was very familiar with the faces of the nobility.
However, he had heard reports from those subordinates who attended in his stead, and had committed to memory the names and reputations of the major noble families.
(Her magic power is shaking. She seems tense and somewhat intimidated, yet it is admirable that she does not let it show in her expression or attitude. She is suppressing her magic power because she is heading into the city, but if she can still weave her words properly in front of me, then her nerve is quite commendable. Of course, she does not compare to Miyama Kaito, who, while being exposed to nearly unrestrained magic power from me, can take it all in and suppress it within a single breath, but that comparison is hardly fair. She is a noble with more than enough potential)
Eris greeting seemed to leave a rather favorable impression on Magnawell. After nodding in satisfaction, he turned toward Kaito and asked:
[I recall she attended your birthday party before, Miyama Kaito, are you close with Eris Dia Hamilton?]
[Yes. Well, part of it is simply that I dont have many noble acquaintances, but aside from Chris-san, shes the noble from the Archlesia Empire Ive spoken with the most. I trust her too. Hmmm, how should I put it she gives me a similar impression to Lilia-san.]
[Oh?]
When asked by Magnawell, Kaito spoke honestly about his impression. In other words, if he were to describe her as a fellow noble, she was someone approachable and easy to talk to, much like Lilia.
There was genuine trust toward Eris in those words, and of course, it was a high evaluation without the slightest trace of ill intent.
But sadly the intent one tries to convey does not always reach the other party as intended. Such misunderstandings are how discrepancies arise.
(Comparable to Lilia Albert huh From what I can see, her body and magic power fall far short of Lilia Alberts. In that case, is it her intellect, her character or perhaps her luck?)
Yes, Magnawell interpreted Kaitos words having a similar impression to Lilia as meaning that she possessed talent comparable to Lilia, the unparalleled genius held in high regard even by the Six Kings.
(At the very least, they are close enough to come together to experience Nidzvelds new facility. Even if they are not lovers there is no doubt they share a close and trusting relationship. Miyama Kaitos eye for people is reliable she is someone worth paying attention to.)
There was no way he could have guessed that they had simply run into each other in town and come here on a whim. As a result, completely without Kaitos intention, Eris evaluation skyrocketed within Magnawells mind.
[I see Eris Dia Hamilton, was it I shall remember that name well.]
[ ! ? ! ? ]
Eris clearly understood the implication behind those words. It wasnt merely that Magnawell had evaluated her highly, there was also the unspoken considering future relations behind it. She was thrown into confusion, unable to comprehend how a simple greeting had earned her such a high appraisal.
(What? W- Why? I merely gave a normal greeting, and Kaito-sama didnt overly praise me or anything. S- So why such a high evaluation?)
From Eris perspective, there was nothing strange about Kaitos words. After all, in terms of status, from his point of view, she was indeed someone close to Lilia in that she was a noble.
It was, perhaps inevitably, the result of several factors coming together: Lilia being highly regarded and respected even by the Six Kings, Magnawell interpreting Kaitos words in a different sense, and the fact that Magnawell did not know that the two had only met by chance before coming here. Only by putting all of that together could one realize Magnawells misunderstanding, and naturally, there was no way for Eris to notice it.
And meanwhile, the only one present who correctly understood the misalignment and misunderstanding in the exchange between Kaito, Magnawell, and Eris, and who could have cleared it up, Alice was sitting on a bench in the gym, leisurely sipping wine.
Kaito : [A similar impression to Lilia-san (meaning shes easy to talk to).]
Eris : [Indeed, a position like Duchess Lilias (in the noble sense).]
Magnawell : [So, a being like Lilia Albert (in terms of talent).]
Alice-chan (thoroughly amused) : [Well, saying shes like Lilia-san isnt wrong (in the stomachache-kinda sense).]
