Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 14
Ragnis Lien da Levien. That was Levi’s real name.
Obviously, the name is Ragnis. Lien’s family name, Levien, must have been in the form of a territory or region. I learned that the kingdom’s nobles were named that way.
There are things like ‘da’ or ‘tsushin’, but after all, Asilie told me that it means something like ‘of’ in the ancient language. Among them, Tsushin is only allowed to nobles with a long history among nobles, and they do not bother to attach names such as place names. Is it that the family name alone is great? It was said that such aristocrats were usually concentrated in the capital.
Levien was not a region, but a territorial name. It was located together in the southern Servil region of the kingdom where Ogwen is located, and flew away like our village to the Demon King’s army. I heard about it when we first met… but
I would have thought he was the son of the lord who managed the estate.
“Thanks to your help, I can afford it, and I sent a letter to Master with the little money I saved.”
From an early age, she showed prominence in magic. Noticing this, her father, the lord of Levien, searched for a wizard who could become a teacher through his connections, and luckily came into contact with a fairly famous wizard. If there was a downside to recruiting disciples by wandering here and there due to sudden wanderlust, it was a drawback, but he was very enthusiastic in nurturing the younger generation, but he was a famous instructor in the kingdom who made great disciples.
Like the wizards who visited our village in the past, unexpectedly, the wizards seem to be enthusiastic about raising disciples.
“Because there is a factional fight between nobles. In fact, it seems that you received my letter in the middle of an overheated state about how to deal with our territory.”
Her teacher immediately tried to inform the kingdom’s noble council that she was alive. It felt like a schoolteacher being dragged along by family problems, but the relationship between a teacher and a wizard in the profession is not such a simple structure. Simply being taught is done casually, but getting married as a priest is neither light nor simple.
It is said that the first teacher-priest relationship was to pave the way forward by taking over the master’s task in some cases, as well as studying and advancing the way of magic while alive. There has been no change during the long history, but since it has been continued on such a foundation, the relationship between the priest and the priest is like a family connected by mana. I’ve already said that as long as they’re connected as priests, they won’t be treated as strangers in the kingdom’s law.
Even though they have children, there are even cases where they transfer all their property and rights to their disciples, and in fact, there are cases where their children do not take any legal action against them. I didn’t know anything else, but it was clear that it wasn’t something I dared to judge based on my common sense.
Anyway, it was good up to that point, but the problem was with other nobles who were related to her family.
It is said that a dog fight was taking place to absorb the remaining property and rights of the Lavien family and to acquire a name while the fighting was fierce, roughly divided into the king faction and the aristocratic faction.
Unlike the other family members, the King’s faction, who believed that her body had not been found and needed to be found, and the distant relatives of the aristocratic faction, who wanted to claim the rightful ownership of the neglected property and rights since it was certain that she was already dead. Because of the fight between the two, her teacher couldn’t help but hesitate.
“My father was a kingpa, and I was taught that way too.”
She is not yet an adult. First of all, it becomes possible to wield everything, including the right to speak, at will under the name of personal protection in a place where her identity is secured. In the meantime, it was clear that if he made sure to survive at the scene of the dog fight, the aristocratic faction would walk around with lights on, and through several letters, the teacher decided to respect Levi’s will not to fall into the hands of the aristocratic faction. On this day, I decided to openly contact Ogwen.
But the tail was caught. The King’s faction had already talked with their teacher, so there was no reason to ask questions, but I found out that someone was asking her.
Since the only means of communication was letters, it was impossible to adjust the schedule, and the scheduled ‘open meeting’ was a kind of show aiming for the external gaze that the wizard would personally pick up with the troops recruited by the royalists rather than just come and meet alone. Because of that, I couldn’t move to another city.
“It’s a pretty grand script.”
The heroic return of the young lady of misfortune who lost her parents to the demons and fled from the persecution of the aristocrats for three years for the glory of the royal faction and family. Wizards and soldiers to show off. Even if you are a local aristocrat, is it worth going this far if you completely annihilate the Demon King’s army?
If I hadn’t met Asillie, it might have been used for similar propaganda.
“A script… you understand it too quickly. Were you a nobleman too?”
“No. Eldmia, whose mental age has exceeded 30, has mastered everything in the world.”
“It’s like that again.”
Despite speaking dissatisfiedly, Leviani Ragnis gave a small smile. Feeling sorry for that, he grumbles, saying, “Let’s mess with our hair, but don’t do it.”
“That’s why this is what I said to use my brain. If you’re a noble, you’d never think of me as a daughter of the Lien family, right?”
“It would be okay if you had someone find you… but if it’s something important enough for the royal faction to move like that, then the aristocratic faction wouldn’t be looking for you in a complacent way either. Even if it’s not possible, wouldn’t it make sense that someone who knows your face would follow you?”
Although three years have passed, the facial features have not changed much. Above all, coming to Ogwen at once means that he has clearly followed her footsteps. Or that there is a spy who can find out the contents of the letter in the middle.
“My father didn’t even interact properly with his aristocratic relatives. Few people would know my face.”
“It’s important that you’re not there. In times like these, it’s only natural to assume that someone who recognizes you will come and act.”
You have to assume the worst to prepare for it. If you move with halfway expectations, you always face the worst.
“Actually, in that case, it’s right to leave things that can be easily hidden. You’re not the only one with red hair in the world. Rather, if you’re in a situation where you dyed your hair originally red, you’ll be suspicious. I don’t see it as a use for it.”
“Huh?! Really?”
“What am I going to do by blackmailing you? It’s better to think of the next move at that time.”
“Yes, but more… to help?”
Seeing him questioning my intentions with a cautious expression, I unknowingly twisted my forehead.
“Then let’s help or leave it alone? Have you already forgotten?”
“Huh?”
“Never touch Eldmia Egga.”
That doesn’t mean just leave me alone. It means no bullshit to anyone who is related to me.
“If you come legitimately, there must be an official document and there must be an activity that is not compromised externally. would have.”
But they said after they became adults. I don’t know how much property and rights she has left, but it’s no exaggeration to say that she’s in the opposite position of the aristocrats who are secretly looking for her now.
“If you don’t, it means you’re behind, and if you’re behind, it means you can use illegal means if there’s an obstacle, which means it can lead to acts of violence.”
Rumors go around the villagers, but there is no legal notice? It means that mercenaries or adventurers are looking for them with activities at the level of asking rumors. The fact that even the rumors are quiet means that the atmosphere of the subjects was not friendly enough to make it uneasy to even spread such rumors.
It is also possible to have them violently kidnapped, then kill all the people they hired when contacting, claiming that they rescued them, and then blame the royal faction for the whole process in reverse. From their point of view, it is a situation where they can do anything as long as they get their hands on it first.
“You’re staying at Alisha’s inn in Ogwen, and you think I’m going to let that kind of threatening approach to the kid I found and took the place for myself?”
I tousled Ragnis’s hair one more time, who was staring at me, but this time he didn’t react.
If you are an aristocrat, it’s not just that your family and neighbors die like I did, but everything you own is gone. The estate belonged to the family, and whether she inherited the family or married and married, she had to support her and continue.
Even after losing all of that, he eventually stood up and worked among the commoners, ignoring his class, laughing, and working hard until this point. It is my proud neighbor no matter where I put it. I don’t know if I leave this place along with the royal faction and time passes as it is, but not yet.
“No one can touch Eldmia Ega carelessly anymore.”
It will depend on the attitude of the other person, but if you act like a dick, you will see that you get fucked.
Whoever the fuck touches little Eldmia is fucked.
It’s going to be very fucked up.
