Trapped in Another World With No Magic

Chapter 141: Sincerely Yours

Daniel eats the meal prepared by Reignleif as he ponders the damage he has done with his reckless behavior. The stateroom is smaller than his room in the Citadel, so it becomes quickly crowded if too many people try to remain inside to watch over him. As such, his companions have been taking turns while he recovers. Those with other tasks have focused their attention on those projects, which includes Daniel's usual clingiest consorts, Hekate, the dragons, and even Doephluev.

As such, Kera'tai is the one sitting with him now, resting from her own efforts to train for strength with the legendary Stalvaltan Guards.

"Any word on the Grand Duchess?" asks Daniel, since he heard about what happened.

"She's awake as well and asking after you," replies the Chi'rinnis mage. "Everyone felt it was safer for her to recover without magic, and Duchess Yanidere has been upkeeping all of the business meetings in her place. So far, there have been no major issues."

Daniel nods, absorbing her words.

"Also, Ahok believes she has finished the device you asked for, so she'll be sending it on the next shuttle."

"Thank you. I'm sorry I'm out of commission for so many important things."

Kera'tai smiles sympathetically. "You really gave everyone a fright once again, Daniel. Geirahoel was quite insistent on turning Neith into a female. I think Ryuo is also in agreement now..."

Daniel's expression turns downcast. Reignleif has visited him plenty, explaining curses more thoroughly and why Daniel needs to be more careful. "Even dragons are wary of treasure that comes too easily," she had said.

However, both Geirahoel and Ryuogriar have refrained from speaking to him, which has certainly not gone unnoticed by anyone. And, after Geirahoel fled the room, Daniel is certain that he has truly upset them this time. They may want to punish Neith, but they also are hurt and disappointed that Daniel broke his promise again.

"Do you mind telling me where Ryuo and Geira are now?" asks Daniel gently.

Kera'tai hesitates for a moment. Daniel tries to treat his companions as if they're the only person in the world when they're being intimate, but at the moment, he is worried about the discord he himself sowed in his family.

That said, the Chi'rinnis woman's hesitation isn't because of that, but rather...

"I think... Geirahoel left. I haven't heard where she went, but I'm pretty sure she isn't in town or on the airship anywhere."

Daniel tenses, and she continues, "Ryuogriar has been attending meetings with Yanidere, but I think she's currently resting in the lounge."

Daniel nods. "I see..." He wearily climbs out of the bed, and Kera'tai stands up to be ready to help him. She does try to insist that he rest, but he needs to start repairing the damage.

"You should rest, Daniel. We don't know what the full effects..."

"I've been sitting around too much, and I owe some very important apologies."

She hesitates, but she understands where he's coming from. And, he starts with the person right in front of him. He takes her hand and kneels in front of her, surprising the young chieftain's daughter.

"Kera'tai, my unofficial first mistress in this world..."

She scoffs at his remark, since it is technically true. Even Wenlianna, Gwen, and Treia didn't officially express affection for Daniel the way Kera'tai did before she met him.

"I am truly sorry for the concern and worry I have caused. I thank you sincerely for taking care of me after my blunder, and I will strive to learn from this experience and be more mindful of how my actions affect everyone."
