Chapter 64

 

“Why, am I embarrassing?”

 

To put it bluntly, it wasn’t wrong.

 

The problem was that she couldn’t openly agree in front of the person himself.

 

Evnia avoided Giyermo’s fishy smile and looked down obliquely.

 

Evnia mumbled a denial in an uncertain voice and quietly moved to Seven’s side.

 

Perhaps noticing the silent signal she sent, Seven immediately declared their departure.

 

“If everyone’s ready, let’s go.”

 

The group left the manor in a friendly line with Seven at the head.

 

Because Seven had declared magic forbidden, they could no longer travel to the village in an instant.

 

When Evnia casually asked if Seven’s young body would be alright, he replied that the stamina of a child under 10 was comparable to infinite power.

 

In fact, he said he had become better at guiding after his body became younger.

 

As if to prove his words true, Seven maintained his composure without a single ragged breath until they reached the village.

 

He immediately received introductions from Silvia and Linda, greeted the residents, and obtained permission to take measures in the fields.

 

Fortunately, most of the villagers positively received the proposal to drive away the wild beasts.

 

Though there were a few elderly people who recognized Giyermo and hurriedly fled before even hearing the story.

 

Watching one old man hastily hide inside his house, Evnia muttered quietly.

 

“Maybe I shouldn’t have come out.”

 

If she had stayed at the manor, Giyermo wouldn’t have followed them to the village.

 

Her desire to help people had led her to join Seven’s plan as if it were natural, but looking back, it might have been better not to.

 

“It’s because you’re here that so many people are asking for help. Seeing the kind and gentle lady’s face.”

 

“I don’t think there’s much difference? After talking a little, they’ll quickly realize that you’re kind and gentle too, Seven.”

 

Seven let out a loud cough at Evnia’s response.

 

He looked back at Evnia with an incredulous expression and said.

 

“You’re probably the first person to ever say that about me.”

 

“I haven’t heard such compliments very often either.”

 

“I can well imagine… Fine. Anyway, this isn’t something we can finish in a day. If it’s effective, more people will ask for help, so don’t worry about it.”

 

Seven casually waved his hand and changed the subject.

 

When Evnia quietly nodded, he left her behind and approached a village youth standing nearby.

 

He was the man who had taken on a role similar to village chief after Yens.

 

Perhaps because Yens had left only good words behind, he held particularly great favor toward Evnia.

 

The rather unsettling proposal to bury mysterious objects in the ground—naturally keeping secret that what they brought were expensive artifacts—was easily accepted largely thanks to him taking the lead in persuading people.

 

The lady who had helped the wronged without any compensation would surely not do anything bad to them now.

 

Considering his reaction, Seven’s words that they had easily gained cooperation thanks to Evnia weren’t entirely wrong.

 

He even personally recruited several strong men to help with the work.

 

“Are there more houses left to visit?”

 

“No, this is about all the people who farm. Shall we start moving toward the fields now?”

 

“It would be better to split into two groups, west and east. We need to finish before sunset, so let’s hurry.”

 

After quickly finishing the discussion, Seven skillfully divided the group into two.

 

Since the fields were laid out spreading widely around the village outskirts, they decided to split the area in half to reduce the trouble of moving around.

 

Evnia was assigned the west side with Giyermo and Hanna, while Seven headed east with Silvia, Linda, and Max.

 

The village youths who volunteered to help were divided exactly in half between each group.

 

Before departing for their assigned positions, Seven urgently grabbed Evnia and whispered.

 

“Keep a good watch on that Giyermo so he doesn’t cause any strange trouble.”

 

He had to separate from her since each group needed someone to manage things, but now that Giyermo was out of his sight, he seemed anxious again.

 

Evnia reassured Seven not to worry and quickly moved to her assigned area.

 

While she understood Seven’s feelings, she felt she could stop listening to his worried requests soon.

 

Since she couldn’t completely ignore Seven’s words, Evnia voluntarily retreated to the most secluded position as soon as they arrived at the field.

 

She also had to keep her promise not to make Giyermo do any work, so she picked up the shovel herself.

 

When the lady began digging the ground herself while leaving a perfectly capable servant—albeit one wearing a suspicious mask—idle, the surprised youths all came running over.

 

“My lady, I’ll do it. Just tell me where.”

 

“That’s right, you’ll hurt your delicate hands like this.”

 

“Thank you all for your concern. But I want to do this myself, so you don’t need to worry.”

 

It was certainly a special experience she was having for the first time in her life. Digging with a shovel.

 

It naturally wasn’t something a delicately raised noble lady would do, but since it had been revealed that she wasn’t really a noble anyway, there seemed no reason to be fussy about it.

 

If it was something a delicately raised noble lady couldn’t do, she had already experienced plenty of such things since coming here.

 

Evnia sent away all the youths who offered to help and began digging the ground earnestly.

 

Since it was work she had never done before, progress was inevitably slow, but since the results were immediately visible, there was a decent sense of accomplishment.

 

It was when Evnia briefly stopped and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.

 

Giyermo, who had been standing aloof in a position where dirt wouldn’t fly, strode over and took the shovel from her.

 

“Are you staging a protest asking for help?”

 

“What?”

 

Evnia’s eyes widened at the incomprehensible words.

 

Without any reply, Giyermo thrust the shovel into the hole. His attitude was clearly irritated.

 

Watching his actions with bewilderment, Evnia suddenly voiced her doubt.

 

“You’re doing it by hand?”

 

“Magic is forbidden, isn’t it.”

 

Giyermo replied in a curt voice.

 

Meanwhile, his hands holding the shovel never stopped moving.

 

His arm strength was certainly different, as the amount of dirt he scooped up at once differed considerably from hers.

 

After digging quite deep in no time, Giyermo looked back at Evnia with a proud expression.

 

“Is this deep enough?”

 

“You need to dig twice as deep as that.”

 

“…”

 

Seven had instructed them to bury the artifacts as deep as possible so that animals or outsiders couldn’t dig them up.

 

At Evnia’s firm answer, Giyermo silently began digging again.

 

Having had her work taken away, Evnia carefully bent her knees and sat down, being careful not to let her bottom touch the ground.

 

Watching him do the hard work for her made her mind complicated again.

 

‘It seems like he’s worried about me anyway…’

 

Because of this, Evnia couldn’t quite define Giyermo as a bad being.

 

After all, she had already experienced his consideration like this several times.

 

Evnia suddenly called out to Giyermo.

 

“Lord Giyermo.”

 

“Why are you calling me.”

 

“I heard from Seven about how you came to Litberg Castle.”

 

Perhaps it wasn’t a past he particularly wanted to hide, as Giyermo readily raised his head to meet Evnia’s eyes.

 

His expression seemed to ask why she was suddenly bringing up that story.

 

“What would you do if you met that woman again, Lord Giyermo?”

 

“…”

 

“I mean, if she made the same wish to you, would you make the same choice as back then?”

 

Giyermo only stared at Evnia without giving any answer.

 

Perhaps the woman who became the lord’s mistress was just one of many wish-makers to him.

 

Maybe Giyermo didn’t know at all that he had been captured and brought to Litberg because of her.

 

If he still didn’t consider his actions back then as wrong.

 

“Ah, the person I’m talking about is…”

 

Just as Evnia was about to elaborate, thinking more detailed explanation might be needed.

 

Giyermo cut her off briefly.

 

“No.”
