1 – Escape
After that incident.
It’s already been 10 years since I became the damn little girl’s slave, no, teacher.
Actually, if I tried to run away, I was confident that I would run away anytime.
But I didn’t.
Though she became her mentor through her blackmail, do you think of her playing in her world with her magic I made, she is in this world just as much as when she first set foot in it. Because her heart trembled.
So, as her teacher, I taught her with all her heart and soul, without any shortcomings.
Thanks to that, the achievements of the little girl, no, Lucia Labyrinth, have taken a leap forward.
I became a magic master at the age of only 20.
Did Lucia know about my efforts?
Unlike the first time when she was hostile, she recognized me as her teacher who taught her with sincerity.
“Teacher.”
Lucia’s red eyes were looking at me.
Her silver hair, down to her waist, shimmered in the sunlight.
Today, as usual, she finished the training I taught her and spoke to me while wiping the sweat from her fair skin.
“If I ever get my empire back, I promise my teacher a position worthy of no honor in the world.”
“… ….”
“So come with me.”
The most shocking thing about Lucia after spending 10 years together was that she was the princess of the Labyrinth Empire.
For some reason, she was kicked out of the imperial family and fell into slavery.
She was thinking of inheriting her throne.
A normal person would not go against the Empire without going crazy.
Even if it was the princess who made that proposal.
The Empire must not be touched.
It was the first truth I realized after falling into this world.
‘You’re talking about committing suicide together in circles.’
I thought the princess, who couldn’t abandon her attachment to the emperor’s seat, was foolish.
What are you going to do with the power that has barely reached magic master?
It was funny.
So I listened to Lucia that night.
It bounced.
●●●
A late night.
I packed my bags and left the house quietly so that no one would notice.
I am the owner of the house, but it was me who had to run away.
It’s an ironic situation, but what can I do? My opponent is a magic master.
A strong man who can face the army alone is a master.
It wasn’t something someone like me could deal with.
My only option was to run away.
Leaving the house, I put my luggage on the wagon I had hidden and started to leave the village where I had lived for 10 years.
It was dangerous to move across the forest at night, but it didn’t matter too much to me.
“Night Vision.”
I cast a night vision spell on my horse and my eyes.
Thanks to that, I was able to easily drive the wagon out of town even at night when I couldn’t see an inch ahead.
I thought I was far enough away from town, so I started preparing for camp.
Tattadak
I warmed myself up by the campfire and thought.
‘Will Finn and the others be okay?’
Lucia wasn’t the only disciple he’d picked up over the past 10 years.
A total of three more disciples were collected: Finn, Grania, and Illya.
Finn was the only male among his pupils.
Born as the only child of the Mackul family, Finn grew up receiving the love of his family.
However, that love did not last long either.
It was because the place where the Makkul family lined up was on the side of the princess.
It was impossible for the prince’s forces to leave the family that followed the defeated princess alone.
In the end, all the family members of the Makkul family, who could not escape extinction, died except for the children, and all the children were sold into slavery.
I remember Lucia recognizing the pin at an open slave market one day and threatening to buy it.
“The more I think about it, the more the disciples have no respect for their master.”
In the case of Grania, she was Finn’s maid and childhood friend.
At the time of purchasing the pin, he was about to be sold as a s*x slave, so I bought it with all the money I had because the pin begged.
Lastly, Illya, Illya’s case was a bit unusual.
She was just an ordinary village girl.
She was a cute, kind girl who would come to me from time to time to give me bread or something to eat.
Then one day she saw Lucia being trained by me.
Since then, she has asked herself to join her training.
I accepted her as her disciple without hesitation, because I had received it all along and it was not a difficult request from her.
All the students he took in were exceptionally talented.
All of them, like Lucia, grew up to be master level talents.
“Ah, am I just teaching well?”
All four of them have good talents, but in the end, I am the one who brought them to bloom.
“I should at least apply for an instructor at the academy.”
If you have developed 4 master-level talents within 10 years, it was clear that you would be called the best instructor anywhere in the world.
“Okay, let’s go to Arsene Academy.”
The plan has been decided.
It was late at night, so it was time to get some sleep.
Brush
There was a sound of something moving deep in the wagon’s bed.
No matter how much I was, I wasn’t dull enough to miss that much sound.
“Gulp.”
I got on the wagon and opened the innermost luggage.
There was a boy with emerald green hair.
“Pin?”
The identity of the boy was Finn.
I couldn’t understand why he was here.
“Why are you here?”
“Su, Master, take me with you too.”
Finn was trembling all over his body as if he was afraid of something.
“Wasn’t it going to the empire?”
As far as I know, all of my students, except me, decided to help Lucia regain her empire.
It is said that Finn and Grania have the pretext of taking revenge on the crown prince, the family’s enemy, but they did not know why Illya, an ordinary village girl, was helping Lucia.
“Lucia sold me.”
“Selling?”
“He said he would give me to Grania if I get the empire back.”
“What is that?”
“Me, I want to marry someone I like.”
“Grania is a pretty child. And aren’t you two childhood friends?”
“He’s just a friend, but he’s a damn teacher who never thought of him as a member of the opposite s*x.”
To sum up Finn’s words, instead of helping her regain the empire, Grania demanded her pin from Lucia.
Reclaim the empire.
The meaning was the same as Lucia’s intention to become emperor.
With the power of the emperor, giving a pin to Grania wasn’t even a job.
“It’s ruined.”
“What, what?”
“From the moment you are here, the escape has failed. Stupid disciple.”
Could that be true?
As if the darkness in the carriage came to life, it moved swiftly and tied me and Finn together.
“This, can’t this be?!”
Me and Finn were able to immediately recognize the identity of the darkness that bound us.
“After…… Come on, Grania.”
At my words, grania slowly rose from Finn’s shadow.
“Hey!”
From noble mtl dot com
Fin, not realizing how long he had been hiding in his shadow, exclaimed in fright.
“Can you take the pin and send me?”
“Damn Master, you are abandoning your pupil now!”
“My getaway was ruined because of you, but does that matter now?”
Ignoring Finn’s resentment lightly, I shifted my gaze to Grania.
Grania, conscious of my gaze, took out her paper and wrote something down instead of her words.
When the Makkul family was destroyed, the shock left her speechless.
Instead, we were able to communicate by writing on notes.
[Lucia told me to bring her teacher as well.]
“I see.”
“What can I do, Master? I will do everything I can.”
“I’m thinking about it.”
Fin urged me to see if I wanted to get out of this situation somehow.
Without even knowing that I was the person I wanted to escape the most.
‘After…… What do we do?’
Actually, I couldn’t think of a way out of this situation either.
Was the sound of the head rolling too loud? Grania wrote something on her note again.
[Give up, Master, Lucia and Illya will come soon.]
The moment I saw that note, I squeezed my head even more.
‘Now or no way.’
Two people are now tied to only one Grania, and she is unable to move.
In this situation, two more master level players are coming? Can never run away The opportunity was now.
Now Grania didn’t care if I rolled her head or not.
I was just messing around with Finn, who was tied to the corner of the carriage and couldn’t move, wondering what was so fun about him.
‘No way, I can’t think of a way.’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a way to free myself from Grania’s restraints.
‘If only I could use light magic.’
The essence of the magic that binds you now is, after all, darkness.
If she could use the light magic she had created, she could break out of this bondage even with her eyes closed.
But I can’t use light magic.
Who can use the light magic I made…….
Flash!
In an instant, a dazzling flash burst from the sky.
The sky and forest, which had been dark due to the flash of light, brightened as if morning had arrived.
The flash faded and my restored vision saw two people descending from the sky.
I heard that even a tiger will come if you tell me.
The only one who can use the light magic I created.
The fallen princess of an empire.
Lucia Labyrinth She has arrived.
