Plum and Her Circumstances
Alright, let’s organize the situation.
The woman who was rescued from the Cursed Orb is named Plum.
She is the third daughter of Duke Blastie’s family in the Darshe Principality... so she's a noble?
She doesn’t seem like it at all, though.
Also, what is the Gaze Church?
And what are Inquisitors?
"... Hmm, it seems there are many things you don't understand."
"Well, it’s no wonder. Being suddenly bombarded with foreign terms would be confusing."
"Um, Plum... right?"
"What is it?"
"Um, are you a noble?"
"Technically, yes. I am from Duke Blastie’s family, one of the seven great Ducal families in the Darshe Principality, which is a vampire lineage. But you don't need to worry about that. Being overly formal would be troublesome."
"Then, excuse me. What is the Gaze Church?"
"That? It's the state religion of the religious nation Gaiza Theocracy. They denounce the elemental Gods as evil Gods and, um..."
"The Gaze Church defines the Celestial God Gaze as the only God, Master."
"Oh, that's right. By the way, the Inquisitors are essentially the nation's sabotage agents."
I see, I still don't really get it.
So, there’s a place called the Gaiza Theocracy, and Plum might have been kidnapped by their sabotage agents.
And Plum is a noble lady of the Darshe Principality... wait?
"Isn’t this a significant international issue?"
"You just realized that?"
"I'm sorry. Lily can be a bit slow at times..."
Is it okay to be having a leisurely conversation here?
But then again, she was missing for over 20 years, so the situation might not change even if we rush?
Hmm, I don’t know.
"Well, what should I do now?"
"I have already informed the Darshe Principality. The first report was sent three days ago, so any moment now..."
"There you are, my beloved daughter!"
Suddenly, a voice shouted, and an elegant middle-aged man emerged from the ground.
I don't really understand, but given the situation, it can't be helped.
What on earth is going on?
"You're being noisy, Father. To teleport all the way to a foreign country..."
"But I had to! Upon hearing that my daughter, who had been missing for over 20 years, was found!"
"You're the Duke of Darshe now. Please compose yourself."
"Y-Yes... And who is this girl and spider? Isn't that Rumaja over there? What about the girl and spider? The spider looks like a Frost Spider."
"The girl is Lily, and the spider is Talat. They are the ones who saved me."
"Oh my! My apologies! Though I did not know, it was impolite of me to behave rudely towards my daughter's benefactors. Please forgive me."
Hmm, this person also has high energy.
He must be extremely happy to have found his daughter.
Oh, I haven’t asked his name yet.
"No, please don’t worry about it. As introduced, my name is Lily. This is my familiar, the Frost Silk Spider Tarat. May I ask your name?"
"Oh! My apologies again! I forgot this was not the Darshe Principality. I am Sazaby Blastie, the Duke of the Darshe Principality. Nice to meet you, young lady."
Wow, a Duke.
I can’t keep up with all of this.
What should I do?
What do you think about this chapter?
