Fostering the Male Lead

the baron who ran towards me with a surprised face.

“Yes, I took a good rest.
It only felt like I had a minor cold”

Even after seeing my cheerful face, his concern did not fade.

I know he is worried about Rosetta becoming ill from the poison, but there is really nothing to worry about.
I am quite hale and hearty now.

I sat down, blocking the baron’s gaze, and immediately brought up the main topic.

“We are going to the Imperial Capital with His Highness.”

“I heard from the young master.”

It was actually Lanoa’s decision, but I quietly decided to follow it.
I had previously been hesitant to travel to the capital because I did not want to interfere with the original story and also did not want to be associated with the Empress.

But now that the Empress was after me and saw me as her adversary, I didn’t have to keep an eye out for her.
Besides, as Lanoa had mentioned, I had no idea when she would send another monster to bother me.

So staying within the duke and his wife’s fences in the capital was much safer.
My goal was to live a safe and peaceful life.
Things had gone wrong after meeting Sihael, but my ultimate goal had not changed.

“My Lady, if you don’t mind, why don’t we show Asila’s work ahead of time at His Majesty’s birthday banquet?”

“At the banquet? I think my coming-of-age ceremony is enough.”

“I believe it would be better to show them ahead of time.
It’s a birthday banquet, so not only will all the nobles of the capital attend, but also the nobles of each region.
If we show it then, we will certainly get a good result.”

True, but….
I had no intention of attending the birthday banquet.

But the Baron also had a valid point.
The Emperor’s birthday banquet was one of the biggest events, and it was attended by even the nobles from the outskirts.
There was no better way to advertise Asila’s work.

“Well, the baron is already going there, so do I need to go?”

I made it seem that I didn’t like it.
It was not because of the empress, but simply because I found it tiresome.

“Of course, because you have a great influence in the capital, it has to be you, young lady, to have a proper publicity effect.
Who would like it if a boring old man did it?”

Baron… …don’t say such sad things.
And it’s well known that the influence the baron was referring to was in fact horrendous…

It was clear that the wizards and nobles would rather gossip from afar than approach us.
