50.1 I Wish for My Husband’s Happiness!
Charlotte lifted her head at her teacher’s sudden appearance.
Behind Heydemarie was a little Fenrir along with one that was taller than Heydemarie.
In a recent incident in the city, Charlotte had healed that very Fenrir. Wagging her tail, the Fenrir approached Charlotte and rubbed herself against her cheek.
“Hehehe, good girl, good girl, how clever…”
“Charlotte… Were you writing a letter to your husband, Langheim, again?”
“That’s right!”
At Charlotte’s cheerful nod, Heydemarie’s lips twitched.
“But didn’t you write him a letter as soon as you arrived here last night?”
“That’s right, I did!”
“And, didn’t you write another after breakfast?”
“Yes! That was also a letter for Lord Oswald!”
“…How many letters have you written?”
“Ehehe, about seven…?”
“…”
Looking at Heydemarie, whose face twitched like mad, Charlotte fidgeted restlessly.
“T-the problem is…! I’m unsure about the six letters I’ve written so far! After all, since Lord Oswald is the recipient, I’d like to write them in a more eloquent handwriting. Besides, I also feel like my choice of words was inadequate… But, even if I were to draw from the entirety of my vocabulary, no word could describe how awesome Lord Oswald is, and how grateful I am to have met him…!”
“Alright, for now, let’s have tea, Charlotte.”
“B-but this pen is brimming with my yearning towards Lord Oswald…!!”
“It’s Langheim’s favorite tea.”
“Let’s have some tea!!”
Charlotte lit up and began to set the table. Sighing, Heydemarie briskly and gracefully brewed the tea.
After bringing the teacup to her lips, a refreshing fragrant engulfed her chest.
“—It’s tasty, Mrs. Heydemarie…! So, this is how Lord Oswald’s favorite tea tastes like…!”
Along with the wonderful taste, she also savored the image of Oswald drinking the tea. On the other hand, Heydemarie seemed collected.
“It’s only natural, since I’ve been brewing this for many years, now. Anyway, Charlotte, about Langheim…”
“Is this about the letter!?”
“How about making him some accessories, instead?”
“!!”
Upon hearing the suggestion, Charlotte’s shoulders jumped.
“Well, about that…”
Charlotte held out something that she’d been working on since earlier.
“It’s almost done, but…”
It was a a men’s earring with blue and red stones attached to silver chains.
Blue was the color of Oswald’s cloak, while red was the color of his eyes. Since he preferred cool colors, the blue stone was larger.
Charlotte connected the accessory and did the fitting herself.
As for the one who proposed that idea to her, it was none other than the old man in the garden.
“—Why don’t you give your beloved some accessories?”
“Accessories…”
As she faced the frozen lake, Charlotte blinked in doubt.
“It doesn’t have to be expensive, as long as it’s something that the young miss puts her heart into and makes herself…”
Oh…!
She was taken aback by the old man’s roundabout way of speaking.
Accessories made by a woman with healing magic… Then, if I were to pour my divine power into it…!
If she were to channel her divine power into special stones, they’d serve as an amulet.
Only those with healing abilities can create amulets—usually saints. I don’t really recall the mechanism, but I seem to have been aware of it…
With her divine power, the accessory would then be able to protect its wearer.
Not only would it raise immunity against illness, the wearer would also recover from sickness and injuries faster.
“—Old man! I shall do my best to make accessory for Lord Oswald!”
“Hahaha, I’m rooting for you, young miss.”
—That was how she created the earring that she presented to Heydemarie.
Before receiving it, Heydemarie slipped on a pair of thin gloves. Then, after gently placing it on top of her palm, she examined it in front of the nervous Charlotte.
“W-what do you think…?”
After narrowing her eyes, Heydemarie said.
“…It’s amazing.”
“Really—!?”
With that one word, Charlotte’s expression brightened.
“The metal fittings are satisfyingly done. Unexpectedly, that is quite the meticulous task. You were also thoughtful in when you chose both the stone sizes and the chain lengths so that they’d create a beautiful silhouette when worn.”
“T-thank you very much…!”
I’m truly glad…
However, there were other things that made her more nervous than anything else.
Still, I want to make an amulet with divine power. Right now, I have almost no divine power, and to top if it off, I also don’t know how to use it…! Maybe, it’s a failure!?
She couldn’t even ask anyone how to do it, lest they found out she had amnesia. In front of the fidgety Charlotte, Heydemarie spoke; her eyes fixed on the earring.
“…As for the divine power…”
“Y-yes—!?”
Heydemarie furrowed her eyebrows.
I-is it no good, after all…!?
She almost dropped her head, only to receive a shocking evaluation.
“—It’s quite well put together.”
“W-wooooow…!!”
She was beaming, which in turn caused Heydemarie to be skeptical.
“Hey, why are you overjoyed? Didn’t you often visit the temple?”
“T-that’s right! I-it’s just, this is the first time I’ve made a gift for someone I love!”
She hurriedly said that—but it was also the truth. Even if it was for practice, since she made it for Oswald, she was extremely nervous.
What a relief—!
As I thought, even if I don’t have the memories, does it mean that my body remembers?
After all, previously, Mrs. Heydemarie praised me for my posture and attitude…
Not only that, she was able to use tools to fasten the accessories. Apparently, her fingertips firmly recalled her past activities.
“I hope I can be of some help to Lord Oswald with this earring! It’s to return the favor! After all, he gave me this tracker…”
“Wait… A tracker?”
“Yep!”
Nodding cheerfully, Charlotte presented the necklace adorning her neck.
There rested a light blue stone that matched the color of Charlotte’s eyes and it was paired with a gold chain that bore the same color as her hair.
Heydemarie stared at it in shock.
“T-this stone, it can’t be…!”
“This is my proud tracker!”
Charlotte pridefully explained to Heydemarie while puffing out her chest.
“Lord Oswald gave it to me! As long as I wear this, he’ll know where I am!”
“…Was that the only explanation you recieved from Langheim?”
“?”
When Charlotte tilted her head, Heydemarie cleared her throat.
“…You don’t understand anything, do you? Charlotte.”
***T/N: Bet that’s the one he imbued with all his remaining magic to protect Charlotte. Oswald, you sure fall in love fast, don’t ya?
