Episode 99

When I got a little closer and looked at him, the bracelet the man was wearing lit up and something was lying at his feet.

Do you know what that is?

When I asked him, Fio shook his head.

The answer to my question came from the wrong place. Chris, who mistook him for asking it, opened his mouth.

He’s probably a demigod who has disappeared.

I turned my head and looked at Fio.

It was as if I had heard it for the first time.

What is he doing to the demigod?

Chris started to explain with a very excited face.

The Empire Mage’s magic had no limits and is said to be omnipotent. It is said that he can summon beings that are close to God. In fact, there is a record of a demigod’s control during the Mage Empire, but even murals like this one remain, so it could be true.

After that, he explained it for a while.

The face of Fio, who was listening to the story beside me, started to get serious.

So, the reason for the war between the demigods at the last minute was the emperor of the Mage empire, there is a story like this. So far, everything has been hypothetical, but since these ruins were discovered, it may be different.

After listening to Chris’s explanation, my body began to lose strength.

The shape of that childish-looking bracelet looked exactly like the one I received.

I want you to keep the story of the discovery of the ruins a secret.

Oh yes. We’ll do that.

You wouldn’t want to lose this opportunity to other wizards either.

Chris looked at me and opened his mouth silently.

If you’ll excuse me, may I go?

Ahhh…. Yes.

Chris smiled broadly and ran towards the wizards who were arguing fiercely about something.

I, who stood in a large space, grabbed Fio and headed around the corner.

Do you know anything else about this?

[This is the first time I’m hearing it. Because I’m from the generation born after the war. So I’m young]

How old are you?

[129 years old.]

…

It was natural that Fio, who had only lived 129 years, didn’t know that it was a story that became a legend.

[If you’re curious, I can look into it.]

Oh, can you please?

Fio nodded.

When I saw the bracelet on the mural, I felt bad because I felt like my life was being balanced against my will.

«Maybe the reason Tatiana possessed something like that has to do with this.»

At this point, I became increasingly curious about how Daniel was able to obtain that bracelet.

«It’s been a while since I haven’t contacted Daniel.»

We haven’t had time to see each other since he publicly apologized, but I blatantly avoided contact with Daniel.

To be honest, I felt it cowardly for him to apologize publicly.

Didn’t he know he couldn’t even refuse because of the pressure?

* * *

As we left the island, I could see that the villagers’ eyes had changed in a strange way.

In particular, Marco’s perspective had changed a lot.

A person who had shown clear hostility until yesterday is strangely favorable today.

[He is looking at you with a strange expression.]

Even to the bored Fio it was recognizable, so I said everything.

Anyway, this job was almost finished and I had to leave the island to treat my mother.

I won’t be coming here often for a while, so I called him to ask for a job in the future.

For some reason …. Did you call?

I called because I wanted to ask you something.

You tell me.

His polite attitude gave me a strange feeling.

I demanded that you keep completely silent about what happened here.

Tell the villagers too. The fewer people who know about this, the better.

He nodded without saying a word.

No matter how you look at it, it was strange that the atmosphere had changed as if the palms were upside down.

And I’m-sorry about that.

I was surprised by the sudden apology.

What the hell happened to you?

I heard about you. I guess I misunderstood a lot of what was going on.

Sir, are you talking about the Prince of Gloucester?

Yes. Yesterday he left me telling me to cooperate with the princess.

Yesterday?

I don’t know why they came and went, but at least they had a conscience not to go through me.

If something happens, talk to Mr. Chris or Mr. Mario. They are all my people, so they will tell me right away.

Since the remains were discovered, Wilhelm had to be sent back.

The wizards will be guarding the area around the mine, so it won’t be a big deal.

Unlike the first time, I returned to land leaving Marco behind, who bowed and thanked me.

At the dock, Lily was waiting for me.

Miss, let’s go!

My heart was pounding as I watched them wave and flutter.

As soon as I got off the boat, I ran to Lily.

Mrs. Matthew has woken up! Go back to the hotel.

With Lily I jumped into the carriage quickly.

Perhaps out of nervousness, the carriage was filled with silence.

As soon as the carriage reached the hotel entrance, I went up to the top floor.

I saw Allison, who had just left the room.

Are you here, princess?

What about my mother?

She’s inside with the Duke.

Having said that, I headed straight for my mother’s room.

Mother!

When I entered the room, my mother and my eyes met.

Oh child!

I quickly ran to her and hugged her.

Tears welled up involuntarily. I didn’t know how afraid I was that I could never see her open her eyes again.

Why is she crying?

I felt a sense of relief in my soft hands.

That, was that… uhg

My sobbing, once bursting forth, did not easily subside.

The horrors of the past few days had burst into tears.

After a while, when I calmed down a bit, my mother smiled mischievously and said:

So you’re still a child.

I’m just going to pretend I’ll be one for today.

As I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, my father patted my back.

Freya, stay in the duchy for the time being until you recover.

Oh?

At my father’s words, my mother looked surprised.

Hey Karin. Can you spare me a moment?

Yeah? Hey, yeah!

In a strange atmosphere, I ran out the door.

«Maybe…»

Maybe we can live together again.

It felt like everything was finally back to normal.

* * *

After a lot of back and forth, returned from the island after finishing my schedule in the south.

And as soon as they got the news that I was back, Regina and Filia came to visit me.

Why have you been in the south for so long?

I had business to attend to.

They both looked at me anxiously wanting me to talk about something.

By the way, why did you come here in such a hurry?

Regina asked my question first.

You said you were going to get engaged to Her Majesty?

Has the story already spread?

Uh, I’m still not quite sure, but I think it will be.

Right now, in the social world, there’s a lot of fuss about what the Pioneer princess’s charm is.

Filia said with a slight smile.

Is there something special about it? It’s just that I received apologies from my previous fiancées.

But the atmosphere at the moment is too good to just pass it by. In particular, the perfume stocks arrived too late, so even if you order now, you may get it after a long time.

I heard a little bit about that through Niveia’s report, but hearing it directly from the two of them gave me a new feeling.

Also, this is a rumor I heard.

Regina leaned over and looked around.

I thought I was trying to tell a secret, so I laughed at the maidservants around me.

There is talk that the Prince of Gloucester is getting a divorce.

The Grand Duke?

Yes, a long time ago, there were rumors that the Archduke had a big fight with his wife and stayed at the some hotel instead of going back to the Archduke’s residence.

It is not a rumor, but many people have seen him traveling from the hotel.

When Filia joined, it became more and more plausible.

I remembered Andrew’s face as he clung to me crying.

Everything was wrong and he was clinging to his forgiveness.

«Maybe he was the first to escape the distorted magic.»

But that made it all the more unforgivable.

If he really wanted to cling to me, he should have run to me the moment he knew and begged for forgiveness.

For the past 3 years, he has been together with Tatiana and enjoyed all the benefits she has brought him, and now he doesn’t love Tatiana?

Wilhelm, whose magical power has been purified, returned to her side saying that he wanted to protect Tatiana to the end.

Perhaps there is a limit to moving the heart with the power of the bracelet alone.

At the moment when he let go of my hand and clung to Tatiana, and when Wilhelm also took Tatiana’s hand.

At that moment, it was clear that Andrew loved Tatiana more than he loved me.

«It’s not even funny.»

Now he’s coming now he says he loves me?

He said I was his one true love?
