Chapter 42: At the Bayerlein Ducal Mansion
■■■■■■■■■■
The Bazel Port in Axel Territory, governed by the Bayerlein Ducal House, is said to be one of the largest ports along the River Liber, rivaling the capital's.
With no trouble from seasickness, we arrived at Bazel Port by evening. Waiting for us was yet another luxurious carriage, and after boarding it, we arrived at a mansion that made our own home look like a mere hut. It was even larger than the main residence of the Lightstar Marquisate. As expected of a duke’s estate.
As we got out of the carriage, knights lined up, raising their swords to form an archway for us to pass through. The sight was surreal.
The front doors opened on their own, and inside, dozens of servants were lined up to greet us.
“Welcome home, Your Grace,” they said in perfect unison. Truly a testament to the discipline of the duke’s household staff.
“Pardon the intrusion, but we have prepared separate rooms for the temple knights.”
“We are here to guard Lord Toma!”
“This is the Bayerlein Ducal Mansion. There is no need for protection here.”
“That cannot be!”
Sebas and Captain Suzanna Kolrausch began arguing.
“Suzanna, this is the duke’s residence. Please listen to Sebas.”
“...Understood. As you say, Lord Toma. But may I request that we be summoned if you are to leave the mansion?”
“Yes. I’ll call you whenever I go out.”
“Thank you, my lord.”
Thankfully, it didn’t turn into a big issue.
“Thank you, Lord Toma,” Sebas said with a bow, to which I responded with a smile.@@@@
“How is Brunhilde?” asked the Duke.
“Her condition remains unchanged.”
“I see... Hermina, Toma, Lord Roxfall, please rest for today. When Brunhilde awakens tomorrow...”
“No, I would like to see Mother tonight.”
“...Very well.”
The Duchess desperately needed nourishment first. Both her diet and medicine would need to provide proper nutrition.
I identified a few promising medicines and asked Sebas if they could be acquired.
“I will arrange for them immediately.”
Sebas seemed to understand that this would satisfy me, so he promptly made the arrangements. It appeared that the duke’s residence had a department dedicated to handling medicinal supplies, and my requests were quickly fulfilled.
Once alone in the room, I used my conversion ability on the medicine.
There was no doubt the Duchess was my grandmother. Worn down by worry for her daughter, her life force was fading. I couldn’t just leave her like this.
—Convert! Become a medicine that will heal the Duchess!
“Ugh...”
My mana drained rapidly. I had over three thousand points of mana, and it felt as if every bit had been consumed, leaving me weak.
Status Open...
Impossible! My mana was down to zero, and it was draining my stamina too? My stamina was rapidly decreasing. This was... dangerous...
That was the last thing I thought before I blacked out.
When I came to, I was lying in bed. I wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but the eastern sky was beginning to lighten, suggesting early morning.
Status Open.

That conversion used up so much mana and stamina that I’d gained two levels! It must have been incredibly draining... That was a close call.
“Huh?! What about the medicine?”
The table was as I’d left it, with granules on a plate. I checked them with my information viewing ability.
Converted: 200 grams of Pactein, 200 grams of Altian Ginseng, and 50 grams of Juzel Futo to 100 capsules of Life ElixirMana Consumption: 5,000 points
With a mana cost of 5,000 points... no wonder it also drained my stamina.
Life Elixir: A divine medicine crafted by Deuro’s Apostle, Toma, for his grandmother Brunhilde. To be taken twice a day, morning and evening, by dissolving five capsules in 100 milliliters of hot water. This will help Brunhilde regain her health.
If I could give this to the Duchess, her condition should improve.
I immediately requested an audience with the Duke.
