Chapter 11: Collecting Medicinal Herbs│Read translated stories and daily updates at: Awebstories.com
I have only four days left in Sanju.
The only places I can stay are the duke’s residence in the capital, the dukes’s villa, or the villa of Tegperi.
The villa is in the village of Yaka, south of Sanju, and has a hot spring. My grandfather used to visit there every year.
I would like to live in the villa, but my father would not allow me, a 12-year-old, to live there alone (though I have servants).
For now, let’s go back to the Royal Capital.
Even if I return to the Royal Capital, I won’t be able to meet the second prince. Even if I did, we couldn’t get near him unless we approached him.
For one thing, the second prince prefers heroines, and he himself didn’t choose villainess as his bride.
My grandmother comes to Royal Capital every year in early summer and stays for about a month. That would be the time she would make a move to make me the second prince’s fiancee.
Before that, I will talk to my father and Tristan to find a solution. I will never be able to fight my grandmother alone.

I went with Ethan to the forest near Sanju.
We ate sandwiches and scones while looking at the beautiful autumn leaves and listening to the birds chirping. It’s like being in a painting of “Lunch on the Grass” Picnics are fun.
I feel my days in Japan are far away. Come to think of it, I don’t remember much about Japan these days. except for the food.
After lunch, I’m going to take a little nap. When I wake up, I’ll collect herbs.
“There’s a lot growing over here.”
Ethan was an adventurer. So was my uncle.
The day before yesterday, I went to an orphanage with Tristan and Ethan, where the boy and Ethan were fellow adventurers.
At the orphanage, we donated money, and as a service activity, we repaired and cleaned the walls of the building.
I mopped and dusted and used space-time magic to transfer and remove all the dirt. I did a good job.
The director of the orphanage is impressed with the duchess’s exceptional cleaning skills.
“My father occasionally visits locations where dangerous demonic beasts can be found. It’s convenient that the Adventurer’s Guild can disassemble and purchase the monsters he hunts. My father believes that when employing adventurers in the field, it is best to demonstrate your talents as a competition so that you are not underestimated. “
There are seven ranks of adventurers: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
S represents heroes, which are scarce in the country; A and B represent advanced; C and D represent intermediate; E represents beginner; and F represents apprentice.
Apprentice adventurers can register at the age of 12, and adventurers can register at the age of 15.
My uncle’s rank is B. A grade of “B” is a good rank for a man who also works as a civil servant. Ethan has just received his E rank.
“I’d like to sign up to be an apprentice adventurer too.”
“What, Adele? I’m sure you can register, but I wonder if the noble women do the same.”
“I wonder if I can register as someone else.”
“Oh, that’s a possibility. I’m sure there are people with fake names, but I don’t think you should register in Sanju.””
I have the same face as my brother. Have you ever visited Hicomite’s dungeon, Ethan?”
“My father told me not to go until I got a D rank.”
“I see.”
Tomorrow, I’m going to see him deliver herbs to the Sanju branch of the Adventurers’ Guild.
After gathering medicinal herbs, we gathered chestnuts and mushrooms. I wanted to pick mushrooms, but.
“Adele, these are poisonous mushrooms.”
It’s important not to be inexperienced.
