Capitulo 118
Episode 118
I sat at the table and looked at the bracelet.
The bracelet had returned to its original shape before being transformed by my mother.
A bit childish, it was the same type Tatiana wore.
I won’t be able to wear it for a while.
If my mother saw this, it would be a little hard to explain.
I couldn’t figure out what to say.
I sighed and ran my hand over my face.
Sasha, can you bring me the reports from the wizards in the south?
Yes, miss. I’ll bring it to you soon.
Sasha stroked Fio’s hair, lying next to me, and walked out.
[Is that what it means to get rid of him all of a sudden?]
How about burying it in the depths of the sea?
[…]
Or if you threw him into the magma like in ‘lord of the rings’?
[Who’s the lord of the rings?]
I sighed at Fio’s question. It was something he didn’t know.
Seeing that it was thrown into the river and thrown back again, it certainly seemed hard to get rid of it as it is.
I remembered the last sentence Selena left.
[Please, I hope you manage to get rid of this bracelet].
Who she is.
The greatest magicians of the time were my mother and Selena.
If it wasn’t for Selena, there would only be my mother left, and when I showed her the bracelet, she reacted as if she had never seen it.
I had to find more people who knew Selena personally.
Here it is, ma’am.
I began to read the report Sasha had brought me.
The report described the murals found in the South.
It was all very nourishing, so I skimmed through it quickly.
[What is written?]
At her words, I read the contents of the report.
The murals found were mainly about great ancients who ruled demigods. The gods who used to rule the demigods appeared in various forms each time….
As I read the story, I looked at Fio for a moment.
He looked at me with his round eyes shining.
I picked up the bracelet and thought about the status window for him.
I hadn’t even thought of wearing it for anyone but men.
Of course, because of my reluctance, I had never worn it properly for male protagonists.
[What, those eyes.]
But no matter how hard I tried, there was no sympathy.
I thought I could see Fio, but I couldn’t.
[What, why are you writing something so scary to me?]
The only person closest to the demigod is Fio, so there’s nothing we can do about it.
[Yes, but…]
I read the rest of its contents, stroking its drooping tail.
At the end of the seemingly insignificant report, there was a sentence that caught my attention.
And it seems I have the right to use the divine. However, more research is still needed to understand what the mural means. Attached is the mural image found in the last Episode.
Turning to the last page, there was a detailed mural painting.
[Is the book in front of me? After that, I don’t know…].
From books to computers, and from computers to cell phones.
Maybe they moved media to find someone to own.
Because there were more people using cell phones than people reading books.
Predictably, this bracelet must have been worn by people from another world.
«But Tatiana didn’t look like she had possessed this world…»
Marquis Henry said that when he invited Tatiana, the inside of the mansion was uncomfortable for her and she did not know what to do.
«But Tatiana and I have the same eye color – could it be a mutation?»
Or, Tatiana’s distant ancestors could have been transmigrants like me.
If this new creature summoned someone to use it every time, it was a possible story.
I thought I should find out more about the murals, so I sent them a reply promising support.
Next, a letter would arrive with related information.
[Can you really break that bracelet?]
Fio has been with me and has seen men being manipulated by Tatiana.
After realizing the power of the bracelet, he often seemed quite frightened.
I will do anything to get rid of it.
It was my life at stake.
I didn’t want to be dominated by the bracelets either.
Now, I tucked the delicate looking bracelet into the dresser.

As the trial date approached, speculation about my relationship with Raymond began to grow.
The core of the rumor was that I am the emperor’s mistress and that I was crossing legs with another man.
It was embarrassing for me.
I had no choice but to talk to Raymond about the claim through the butler, not me.
It was to avoid being alone in the same space as much as possible.
My mother, along with the wizards in the tower, constantly demanded Raymond’s release.
The reason was that it was unfair to apply the laws of the Empire to mages belonging to the tower.
It’s a problem because he actually runs without covering his back.
Even today, after fighting with the nobles to protest, my mother sighed.
Did you have any income?
If you keep calm, I think it will come out soon.
That’s fortunate. I wish I hadn’t had any accidents when I got out.
If he gets out, he will probably have to remain under house arrest.
After being betrayed by Tatiana, Raymond’s momentum wavered.
He acted as if there was nothing in the world to fear.
And the question is where he stays.
My mother muttered with a worried face.
The place I used to live was magically connected to my space in the Magic Tower. The terms of the house arrest remain in the Empire until the trial is over.
You mean there is no place for him to stay?
It was a problem I hadn’t thought about at all.
However, I didn’t want him to stay at the Duke’s mansion.
The thought of living in the same space as Raymond was terrifying. Besides, if he lived in the duke’s residence, people were more likely to accept the rumors as true.
Yes, that was a while ago. But today someone showed up who was going to bring that troublemaker home?
Who… this? Isn’t it Tatiana?
No, you’d be surprised to hear it, too.
Mother sighed for a moment and then opened her mouth.
Daniel said he would take him away.
Did he?
It was a very unexpected person.
* * *
Why is it you?
Raymond frowned at the man standing in front of him.
The handsome-faced man shrugged his shoulders.
I didn’t want to bring you either.
Then leave me alone.
He was requested by the Grand Duchess.
Tatiana?
Tatiana wanted Daniel to help Raymond.
She wasn’t afraid at first.
No other request than to help the man who was her lover.
No matter how well Daniel tried to think about it, she seemed to be ignoring him.
-I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can grant that request.
Shortly thereafter, rumors began to circulate between Karina and Raymond.
Daniel knew how much Karina hated Raymond.
But there are rumors like that.
«I can’t believe it.»
It was thought to be because his mother, Tower’s teacher Freya, was unilaterally supportive of Raymond.
And when her application for bail was accepted, she began to fight for his whereabouts.
Because Raymond’s house really did exist in the tower.
-You’ll think about it if I tell you he can stay at the Pioneers’ mansion.
Daniel rose from his seat without realizing it at Marquis Liberty’s sarcastic remarks.
The thought of Raymond spending time with Karina gave him a fever.
-Duke Malphyrion, do you have anything to say?
At the emperor’s cold voice, Daniel woke up late.
After a moment’s hesitation, he closed his eyes and opened his mouth.
-Sir Raymond is also a friend of mine. If Your Majesty gives me permission, I will allow him to stay at the residence of the Duke of Malphyrion.
The Duke of Malphyrion was a firm neutral.
Even at the time when Daniel hanged Tatiana, he contributed to the establishment of the Imperial Hospital. It was a situation where both sides trusted him.
Raymond’s whereabouts were decided as both Pioneer and the Marquis of Liberty accepted his opinion.
Let’s go.
Yes.
I knew I was going to hate him and I do hate him, but Raymond meekly climbed into the carriage.
Take a break. It will be some time before we get to the Duke’s house.
Was the prison sentence a lot of hard work?
Daniel, who had only ever seen Raymond, who had always been arrogant, was now embarrassed by his appearance.
«How could you do that to me?»
But Raymond just resented Tatiana all the time.
It wasn’t enough that she had betrayed him and joined the Cassel family, for which he was even suing.
Not the Tatiana he knew.
He looked at her hand.
Both hands wore magical bindings.
In fact, she could break it and escape whenever she wanted.
He felt like he wanted to run out immediately and ask Tatiana.
If you want revenge, saving yourself until the time comes is also a way. Are you so stupid as to not fulfill your life’s dream for a moment of pleasure?
After he accepted the bail request, Karina approached him and remembered what he had said.
Yes, now it’s time to see for yourself.
For that was how Karina Pioneer began her revenge.
Raymond’s eyes grew wide.
