This is the story of what happened after she lost consciousness.

After Grandfather and Grandmother left with her in tow, the king and the chancellor moved swiftly.

Who had poisoned the queen?

And on whose orders it had been done?

That was what they set out to investigate.

The far-reaching death poison Grand Fever was a cursed toxin of an evil god.

It was not something that could be procured easily or quickly.

However, leaving it alone meant that another poisoning could occur next.

As royalty, they wore magic tools that granted resistance to poison and status ailments.

Breaking through those resistances was difficult.

But it had happened once.

It could happen again.

It was best to assume that the possibility was high.

If nothing came of it, then that was fine.

They could laugh it off later, the king and the chancellor agreed.

There were many people employed at the royal castle, but when narrowed down to those who had access to the queen’s immediate surroundings, the number was limited.

As a result, a single maid surfaced as the culprit, but she had already lost her life.

Even as such matters progressed, there was good news as well.

The queen had regained her health.

Meanwhile, as for the Li, she was spending her days leisurely.

She woke up two days after returning from the royal castle.

The post–camping training break had already ended and classes at the academy had resumed.

However, for nobles, there were times when family circumstances made it unavoidable to miss school.

In her case, the king and the ducal house were involved.

Within the Amesverta Kingdom, there was authority powerful enough to turn black into white.

Because of such circumstances, although she was in good health, she ended up taking about seven days off.

Incidentally, Grandfather and Grandmother returned to their territory on the very day she woke up.

Managing a territory truly was demanding work.

“Big sister, this is really tasty.”

Her younger sister smiled broadly at her.

In her small hand was the familiar quattro formaggi.

Simply put, it was a pizza with cheese and honey.

“It is delicious.”

She said that, but she was starting to get a little tired of it.

Dishes that let you enjoy the combination of saltiness and sweetness were certainly tasty.

However, she had not expected her family to become this obsessed.

Her mother and sister, with her brother joining in as well, had been adding it to the menu almost every day.

She wanted to eat something a little different.

Of course, the cooks of the ducal house were not only making pizza.

They were tasting something that stimulated memories from her previous life. It had made her desperately long for Japanese food.

In the Amesverta Kingdom, what you would call Western-style dishes were the norm.

With a stable climate and fertile land, the country’s food situation itself was not bad.

Bread was eaten as the staple food.

There were not only soft, fermented breads, but also unfermented breads and even fried breads.

There were even regions where mashed potatoes served as the staple food.

With such a rich food culture, she herself had not been dissatisfied.

But once Japanese food came to mind, she found herself craving it.

Even in this country, which had many ingredients familiar from her previous life, she had never seen rice.

Thinking that strange, she pulled her thoughts back.

‘Maybe I should try looking for rice.’

She decided to keep that as a mental note.
