The loudest buzz of the day - something akin to a cheer - came from the crowd.
Maybe it's because I saw him use calamity on his chin.
"Mari.
"Yes.
I called up Mari, who is helping me make a list.
How long have you been back?
"Uh, ......
Divide it by the number of people . Since it's a ceremony where the deputy emperor welcomes his rightful wife, it's safe to assume that the celebration will return 100%.
"I see! That would be ...... er... ...... um... that ......
Snarling, Mari is good at letters but not at math.
"Well, about 30%, is ......?
"Yes.
I don't want to get into the nitty-gritty numbers.
The math is hazy, but one thing is clear.
There's more to come.
What can we do, Alec?
Yes, ......
"Gee, Master.
As I was fretting, Agnes came rushing in, "What's wrong?
What's up, Agnes?
It comes from a place called Psyche Village.
"Psyche Village?
Agnes glances behind her, and I follow her gaze.
Then, unlike the luxurious wagons and luggage of the noblemen, there are familiar villagers around them, with simple ox carts loaded with piles of food.
Psyche Village.
This is the village where I first started buying food.
They didn't send me an invitation, but they heard about it and sent me a gift to congratulate me.
They say it was the sentiment of the whole village.
"Oh, well, I suppose I should thank you for that--hmm?
What is the matter with you, master?
The bullock cart is coming again. It's not the Psyche Village, is it?
"Huh? Really. I'm going to ask him.
Agnes hurriedly ran to talk to the newly arrived villagers and ran back again.
I understand, Linnetra, master.
When you think of Linethras, you think of Lotus.
"Oh, I'll be back! I'm off.
Agnes found them and ran to the front of the mansion to find another group of villages that had arrived at the front of the house.
This time they didn't come back.
After listening to the conversation, she was about to come back, but another group of people from what looked like a different village came by and went to talk to her.
Not one or two, but so many that Agnes couldn't come back for a while.
They seem to be from a village in Alexander's territory.
Unlike the nobles, the expense of traveling here is considerable for a peasant, so we didn't invite them, but we heard what they had to say and sent our congratulations.
That's great, Master Alec. Everyone is so grateful to you, Master Alec.
Thank you. After Avalon, let's have a ceremony in Carlisle's territory once. To make it easier for everyone to come.
"Yes!
Angel agreed to my proposal with a smile.
As I watched the villagers arrive one by one, I continued to formulate in my mind what the ceremony would be like in Carlisle territory.
