《Side Elisabeth Eulheim》
The miracle that saved my sister. The miracle that Lord Fry cured.
When my sister got up normally, it exploded my emotions, and tears overflowed without stopping.
Before I knew it, my parents had also arrived, and even the maids were in tears. For the first time in a long while, we felt as if we had been released from some terrible curse.
When the tears finally stopped, I looked for Lord Fry to thank him, but it seemed that he had left after telling the butler that he had finished what he needed to do and that my sister should eat nutritious food to regain her strength.
How can he do such a thing? He saved my sister’s life and freed our family from years of entanglements, yet he left as if it were nothing.
Normally, we would have been charged exorbitant medical fees by doctors and sold expensive medicines by pharmacists.
Yet, Lord Fry asked for nothing. On the contrary, he left many gifts behind. The flowers he sent me were herbs that had a relaxing effect.
The gift for my sister was fruit that was nutritious and had a restorative effect.
And what he gave to my parents was a medical chart detailing my sister’s condition and the funds necessary for her treatment.
Moreover, he left a message saying, “This is a get-well gift, so there’s no need to return it. It’s within my allowance.”
Just how far, how far will you go…?
“Father, I’m sorry. I cannot be Eric-sama’s fiancée. I love Lord Fry. I cannot think of any other man but Lord Fry.”
For the first time in my life, I spoke selfishly to my parents.
“Ah, we understand your feelings. And after this incident, we owe a great debt to Lord Fry. Elisabeth, are you prepared to devote your life to serving Lord Fry? He will surely become a rare hero. But still…”
I understand my father’s concern. A hero is loved by many women and may never return home.
There are many things I may not understand.
“Still, I want to be by Lord Fry’s side. If he desires a shield, I will become his shield. If he desires a warm home, I want to be the warm home he returns to.”
My parents nodded at my determination.
And then, I conveyed my feelings to Eric-sama myself.
“I’m sorry. I am deeply in love with Lord Fry.”
I thought Eric-sama would be angry at my words.
But instead of being angry, he smiled very happily.
“You too, huh?”
“Huh?”
“Fry is an excellent younger brother. I also want to pass this house to Fry someday and spread the research he taught me to everyone. So, I hope you will support the Eltor family by Fry’s side someday.”
I always thought Eric-sama was serious and a bit strict.
But when he talks about Lord Fry, Eric-sama has a very kind expression and speaks happily.
“Eric-sama, you really love Lord Fry, don’t you?”
“Yes, I cherish him more than anything in the world. For some reason, he underestimates himself. He can do so many things, yet he can’t use attribute magic. And he doesn’t understand ordinary standards. I find even those unconventional aspects of him endearing.”
I feel a little jealous.
“I love Lord Fry too! I won’t lose!”
“Haha, that’s right. As his older brother, I want to spread his greatness to the world. As his wife, I want you to support Fry.”
Unexpectedly, my engagement with Eric-sama became a temporary arrangement.
That was because my parents offered to cut off support to the Eltor family. However, even though the support was cut off, the engagement was to continue, and the Eulheim family formally proposed to Lord Fry, so the matter was settled.
Needless to say, Eric-sama himself took action.
Five years have passed since then, and I am allowed to be by Lord Fry’s side.
“Lord Fry, are you ready?”
“Yes. I’m fine.”
Today, we are entering the first-tier academy city, Prison Magic, managed by the empire.
The entire city functions as an academy, and not only nobles from the empire but also talented commoners from various countries enroll here.
Although it’s only for three years, attending the academy allows us to learn about various races and histories.
The purpose is to deepen interactions with peers of the same age.
“Hey, Elisabeth. Good morning.”
“Good morning, Lord Fry.”
Lord Fry always has a somewhat absent-minded expression, but his well-proportioned features ensure that his beauty is not diminished.
How cool is he? I almost drooled and quickly wiped it away.
However, there was one miscalculation on my part…
“Good morning, Irene.”
“Yes! Good morning, Lord Fry. I am delighted to be able to enroll with you today.”
Yes, my older sister is enrolling with us.
My sister, who finally became able to move at the age of eleven, decided to enroll a year later and ended up in the same grade as us.
Hmph, I never thought my sister would become a rival in love.
“Okay. Shall we go?”
“Yes!!”
We boarded the carriage with Lord Fry in the middle, the three of us sitting together.
