After declining the proposal because we want to lead a normal life, both of the Viscount got really angry by our decision but The King just let us be and gave us 500 gold coins as a reward.
[IN THE CAPITAL]
I then research more about the ranking system in this world due to my ignorance as a noble lady in my previous life.
The ranking is determined by the capabilities and firepower of a person from the kingdom. The lowest rank is F-rank and the highest is S-rank.
F-rank: Is for inexperienced people which is very weak and mostly harmless.
E-rank: That can fight against weak monsters such as slime, wolves, and wild boar.
D-rank: That can fight the mini-boss from the monster such as mother slime and intelligent monster.
C-rank: That has a high rate of survival and most of the trained soldiers have this rank.
B-rank: That can fight against strong monsters such as Orc and Ogre and Royal Guards or Knight has this rank.
A-rank: That can fight an army of a thousand men and expert in any kind of weapons.
S-rank: That can fight against rare, legendary, and mythical creatures that can threaten a kingdom and world order.
After learning all of those, my ignorance doesn't stop there. In this kingdom, most people have reached the highest rank of B-rank and there are only five people who have reached A-rank including Gilbert, who was a former knight due to his mana stop flowing but his strength is still stronger than anyone else.
But all of those five people can't defeat S-rank creatures alone and usually do a subjugating party together. However, I easily defeated it with one spell and the nobles and royalty are desperately trying to make me serve the kingdom by being a noble.
"Umm hey, do you want to take a walk with me around the capital? I can give you a tour around here.", Gilbert asked me with his red face.
He's cute if he's being honest. Of course, I wouldn't dare to decline his request if he wants me to go out with him around the city.
" Sure, let's go then", I answered him.
I somehow began to hallucinate about him being almost like a dog wiggling tail behind and impatiently want to walk outside together.
As we take a stroll around the city, he then guides me to his favorite places for entertainment and food stalls. It's was a lot of fun going out with him but there's one thing that is bothering me.
I just notice and saw a dim light on his shoulder when we eat together. As I focused looking on that dim light, I then saw a small cute spirit but was in a bad shape.
The spirit then notices me looking at him and started to cry and lean on my shoulder. When I try to comfort the spirits, I saw a dark chain emitting a disgusting aura around Gilbert.
"Is this the curse that he has experienced?", I muttered.
" Hmm, did you say something?", Gilbert asked.
"Huh oh it's nothing", I replied hastily.
He then looked at me with confusion. He started to worry if I didn't like the food or the things that he showed me.
" It's not that I don't like it, it just something has been bothering me", I said to him after seeing his face full with concern.
I then lean towards him to unlock the chain that surrounds him with the dark aura. He startled and turns red as I lean on him surprisingly.
The dim spirits then hold my hand and the dark chain. My mana being transferred to the spirits and the chain that blocks his mana has finally broken to pieces and vanish out of thin air.
Gilbert was surprised because of the dispersing black aura from him and tears started flowing down his eyes because he is finally able to use his mana again like a normal person.
