The Daughter of Evil - Volume 1 - Chapter 2.11

Chapter 2: Section 1: Scene 1 
♦Allen~Elphegort Kingdom’s “The Southern Region of the Capital City, Aceid”~

I felt my stomach somersault.

Sitting for six hours in the carriage from Lucifenia’s civilian street, we finally arrived at Elphegort’s capital, Aceid. At this time of the day, noon’s already long gone.

I’m already dizzy on the carriage. If this takes too long, I’m gonna get nauseous; the Lucifenia-Elphegort road was bumpy and we didn’t know how to fix it. Although the actual distance between the two countries is not really far away, we had to go around the Forest of Bewilderment in a large circle just to arrive in our destination.

Oh how I will love to burn that forest.

As I was thinking of such a thought, I couldn’t help but reveal a masochistic smile. Oh, this isn’t how Riliane practices it. I took a deep breath and turned my eyes to the window. Entering the city, the road wasn’t very bumpy. I saw pedestrians coming and going, but it only continued my nausea. I must hurry. When I arrive at my destination, I’ll have some afternoon tea…… 3PM at the Freesis mansion.

The Lucifenia famine was temporarily resolved by sudden food donations from Elphegort and Marlon.

Although I am greatly delighted that Lucifenia got assistance from other countries, the mood is still very complex.

I recalled last night.

——It would have been nice if they lent a helping hand sooner——

 That’s why the two countries refused to offer long-term food aid. But the reason why they suddenly provided help…… Well, at least Marlon’s reason is obvious.

The Riliane - Marlon’s King Kyle marriage…… will be held a year from now.

This marriage had already been set up for a long time. I heard that before she died, our mother, the Former Queen Anne and Kyle’s mother, Queen Dowager Prim had made an appointment to make them marry when Riliane’s 15. She said that the two had already been best friends.

So you could say that this is Marlon’s way to enhance their status before the King’s marriage.

As for Elphegort’s reason for providing assistance, it’s unknown.

Not because I’m a servant means that I know nothing about politics. As a matter of fact, even the ministers can’t help but love my mind. Moreover, they suggested me to complete this demand.

“Show gratitude to the country, and be sure to offer the maids there to come over and serve for the Head of the Maids. You don’t need to trouble the Prime Minister or the Royal family.”

It was originally Minis who had to visit the neighboring countries and show gratitude for our country, but Elphegort rejected. Not all of them rejected though, the other party accepted such a request.

After being tossed from person to person, this task fell on me. These days, Ney has been bedridden because of a flu, and Chartette…… Forget it. If she’s in another country, she’ll destroy every single artwork of the politicians; it might only give rise to international issues.

The point of this task is unclear; the designated place isn’t the Elphegort palace, but the giant mansion of Keel Freesis.

Keel’s influence is not only limited to Elphegort; even Lucifenian and Marlon merchants owned properties that he managed; he can be regarded as a “Business Leader”. The first time I saw him was in the previous ball; prior to that, I thought he was a strong-bodied man with a beard. But in fact, Keel has a slightly gentle face like of young men. Hanging on his nose were glasses that he’s famous for, so I couldn’t help but sigh that he really deserves to be a merchant with high popularity.

Today, I’m going to Keel’s residence; in fact, it isn’t about the Elphegort king who provided food for our country but him. Keel on several occasions provided domestic financial assistance for the construction of Lucifenia; I guess this behaviour is not really very stange but……

I shook my head; I shouldn’t think about this complicated questions. I’m not a politician nor a king, but just an ordinary servant. My mission is to complete this task, and nothing more.

Perhaps because noon has already passed, the Aceid market was full of people. For me, the most refreshing thing is the people’s hair color. No matter young or old, everyone’s hair is green, green, green.

However, not all of the hair colors are exactly the same; some of them are close to yellow-green and some are reddish, which is their way to differentiate them from each other. In general, all of them are green.

So I finally understood why they call this the “Green Country”.

My country Lucifenia is also nicknamed the “Yellow Country”. Although it should mean that we should have blonde hair(Yellow hair), not everyone of us does.

Same goes to the “Blue Country” Marlon; King Kyle has blue hair, but nearly all the guards have black and brown hair. I heard that it’s called “Blue Country” because it was an island surrounded by the sea.

(This way, I might not be able to fulfill Gumilia’s favor……)

I remembered something Elluka’s apprentice, Gumilia asked me to do out of town.
