BXBX NOVEL Chapter 39
This pavilion was briefly mentioned in the Otome Game. The surrounding Azaleas are in full bloom right now. The sight of the neat Alexei and two beautiful girls sitting around a small table there was like a painting.
“To put it bluntly, I don’t think we can make any more progress. But why Yurimagna?” – (Ekaterina)
“Magna has had a research institute on the Astra Empire since its founding, and it is one of the richest in the world in terms of literature. They must have spent a lot of money on it.” – (Alexei)
“Well……” – (Ekaterina)
[Ekaterina’s POV]
Isn’t this like the Mito Tokugawa Clan?
I’ve always thought that the three dukes are similar to the three Tokugawa families, and it seems that you can compare each duke to a different daimyo.
(E/N: Tokugawa Clan – Japanese dynasty which was formerly a powerful daimyo (feudal lords) family, consisting of three most noble branches: Owari, Kii, and Mito)
The Mito Tokugawa family has been compiling a history book called “Dai Nihon Shi” (Great History of Japan) since the time they became the national model of its drama. The money spent on it was popularly speculated, but I’ve heard that it was estimated to be one-third of the Mito clan’s GDP. If you apply that to the GDP of Ibaraki Prefecture, it would be over one trillion yen.
I’ve heard that the Mito Tokugawa family, in order to keep their family’s prestige in line with that of the other three families, set the price of stone higher than the original price (i.e., their income), which put a heavy burden on them, and to say frankly, they were running out of pocket.
The Yurimagna family was also under financial pressure, not only from the Astra imperial research institute, but also from the fact that they still maintain a large knightly order since the founding of the country. This is my personal impression.
Pavel, the founder of Yurimagna, was a warrior, who started with the noble aspiration that one should excel in literature as well as in martial arts. The research of the Astra Empire is one of the most prestigious of academic disciplines, and it is said to be the pride of Magna itself, but I feel that they are…too overworked.
And Yurisein, with its port, is the Owari Tokugawa family, while Yurinova is the Kishu Tokugawa family with its rich forest resources. Although she doesn’t really care, it was a satisfaction of a history loving woman such as herself.
“I’m worried that we don’t know what caused the Magic Beast to appear, but since Flora has awakened to her own magical powers, I’m sure it won’t happen again.” – (Ekaterina)
“Ah, that’s right.” – (Alexei)
Flora blushes as she catches the gaze of the siblings.
“I wish I could help you in some way.” – (Flora)
“There is no need to get worked up for, it is said that the mere presence of a person who has awakened the magical attribute of Holy Magic in the Imperial Kingdom is enough to quell the activities of the Magic Beast. I’m sure it’s a great thing for all the people of the Imperial Kingdom, but Lady Flora is not responsible for anything. You can continue your life as before.” – (Alexei)
Yes, we ‘finally figured out’ Flora-chan’s magical attribute.
Her attribute is “Holy”.
It’s a very rare attribute that only one person with this attribute appears in a generation.
I already knew it from the Otome Game, but I was very impressed when it was discovered!
This didn’t appear in the Otome Game, but holy magic attribute holders were also revered in the Astra Empire, and since they were often held by women, they were called saints in some eras, and played the role of priestesses to appease the mighty Magic Beast of the Legendary Dragon Class. Therefore, I shouldn’t have to feel so scared anymore!
Now all we need is for Flora-chan and the prince to get together, and we’ll have a perfect solution to the Death Flag!
