After unearthing the human and dragon bones, we returned to the capital to report on the purification process so far and make preparations to continue it. Cody and Joshua headed to the Aston manse to get ready for numerous meetings in that regard, while I returned to the treatment center with Nora, who was deeply shaken.

“We’re here, Nora,” I said.

“’Kay,” she mumbled.

She had completely lost her usual vitality and kept her gaze downward as we headed toward the annex. “Trudging” would be an accurate way to describe how she walked. It hurt my heart to see her so depressed when she ordinarily overflowed with energy and didn’t care about whether the people around her were men older than her or even nobles.

The identification badge we had found had once belonged to Nora’s grandfather, which meant that in all likelihood, some of the human bones we had unearthed were his remains.

“I’ll be fine, thanks,” Nora said, unprompted. “I believed that he was alive as much as I believed he was dead. That’s why I wanted revenge. I’m glad to know for sure that my grandpa is dead.” She paused. “I won’t have any weird expectations anymore, I guess.”

“Nora...”

“But I’m pretty tired after today. I’m gonna go to bed. Thanks, and goodnight.” Nora waved goodbye, then quickly entered the annex.

I couldn’t find any words to say, and could only remain there in the courtyard and watch as she left.

“Are you Ms. Lina?”

A woman had come down the path leading from the entrance to the main building. She had beautiful white-blonde hair, large hazel eyes that glittered like jewels, skin unblemished by neither sun nor scars, and full lips. She wore a lovely, lavish, loose-fitting deep green dress, and a white fur cape. She was a noblewoman in every sense of the word.

“Yes, I am,” I replied.

“Wonderful. I keep missing you.”

While I didn’t know who she was, she appeared to know me. She also seemed to be a noblewoman who wasn’t from here in the east. Aristocratic women who lived here followed the Frontier Countess’s administrative policies and therefore tried to be frugal; they only wore lavish dresses for formal occasions or parties.

“I apologize, but, um... May I ask who you are?” I replied.

“Come now! You don’t know who I am?!” she snapped. “If you’re unaware of that simple fact, then you have no right to be Joshua’s wife, regardless of the fact that he’s now a viscount. Honestly, no matter how many black knights the government wants, it’s still a horrible rule to force you to marry someone based only on mana affinity.”

The noblewoman let out a large sigh, her lavish fur cape swaying.

“I... Um—”

“You’re unaware of the role the Leewell viscount plays for the Granwell marquis!” she realized. “That’s why you’re acting so dim!”

The noblewoman continued ranting about just how unfit I was to be Joshua’s wife. The diatribe meandered across a wide span of topics, such as my social standing, the pointlessness of us remaining together after I had left
