78 – Rail Violand
After meeting Rail, Fenia often set foot in his garden to see him.
Of course, there were butlers and maids around him every day, so he used stealth magic to hide himself.
I wanted to talk more with Rail, but I didn’t want to disturb Rail, who was having fun with a female maid named Lorna.
It became Penia’s daily routine to watch the two once in a while when her body and mind were tired from work.
Thanks to that, the death of the disciple began to be forgotten little by little, and my mind calmed down more than before.
As usual, on the way back to the lab after completing the request until late at night, Fenia stepped into his garden to see Rail’s face after a long time.
-‘Are you secretly playing in the garden with Rona again?’
But for some reason, Lorna and Rail didn’t show up in the garden.
-‘Looks like he’s going to be at home today.’
Since they don’t always come out to the garden, Fenia, thinking of coming next, went back to her lab.
However, two days passed, a week passed, and a month passed, but Lorna and Rail did not appear in the garden.
Did you go out somewhere else for a while?
There were quite a few cases in which nobles were away to revitalize their families.
So I had the idea that if I wait a bit, the two of us will play together in the garden again.
As usual, on her way to the guild to take on her request early in the morning, she heard the voices of passers-by.
-‘I heard that the eldest son of the Violand family hit the store owner again?’
-‘That’s right! Did he hit someone like that just because he accidentally touched his body once?’
The eldest son of the Violand family.
At that time, many people didn’t know who he was just hearing his name, but Fenia knew who he was.
Rail Bioland.
A cute boy who was always dating a maid late at night, avoiding the eyes of adults.
-‘That kid hit someone?’
Of course, nobles extremely hate it when commoners touch their bodies.
However, she couldn’t believe that she had hit someone just because the rail, which had no discrimination enough to love her maid, accidentally touched her hand.
Fenia thought that the rumors she was hearing were false rumors created to discredit the Vi Orland family.
Until I heard Rail’s harsh voice coming from behind.
-‘How dare a commoner suggest food to me!’
-‘That, that’s not it. It’s just that the maid who goes with the young master didn’t like this food… ….’
But before the shopkeeper could finish his words, Rail cut him off in an even louder voice.
-‘Don’t mention that name with that kind of mouth!’
With those words, Rail kicked the owner’s shop and broke the furniture.
People watching the scene whispered so that the rails could not be heard.
-‘Tsuttuk. Of course, to say that name in front of that young master. Looks like you haven’t heard that rumor yet.’
In an incomprehensible situation and words, Fenia approached the man who bit her tongue a moment ago and asked.
-‘What is that rumor about?’
-‘Didn’t the young lady hear that rumor?’
She keeps her usual young appearance when making requests, but it is uncomfortable for her to stand out in this normal street, so people use her magic to change her appearance. Did not recognize
-‘Rumors are circulating that the maid who was with the young master died.’
-‘Are you saying the child is dead?’
-‘I have only heard rumors. But looking at that reaction, I have no choice but to believe that the rumor is real. Tsutsuk. Still, it’s a pity that he’s the only noble among the nobles who warms us up…….’
With that said, the man quickly disappeared from his seat to prevent sparks from flying at him.
Those who watched Rail’s tyranny turned their eyes away, and they hurriedly avoided their eyes and started walking on their way.
But Fenia was staring at the rails with her blank eyes.
-‘What are you looking at! Do you have any complaints about me!’
In the eyes of others, he felt very angry, but in Fenia’s eyes, Rail looked very sad.
She was very saddened by the death of someone she loved at a young age.
And it seemed that he was unraveling it like this because he couldn’t control his emotions.
It looked like he was struggling to bring Jack back to life.
The tyranny of Rail, which was thought to end so quickly, continued for a month, and eventually the head of the Violand family ordered Rail to not come out.
Thanks to Reil, they were happy that they were not harmed, but Fenia felt a feeling she couldn’t explain in words.
I was happy to see Rail’s resemblance to Jack, but I didn’t want to see his sad face.
It’s been over half a year since I haven’t seen Rail’s face.
He seemed to appear in the garden once in a while, but it was only for a while, and he said that he would return to the mansion soon after.
Fenia also had many things to do as a great mage, and because of her busy schedule, the opportunity to see the rails completely disappeared.
When she returned to her lab after carrying out her request as usual, she found a letter she had never seen before.
Unlike the stationery that always had requests written on it, it was a stationery made of fairly good quality paper, and the Violland family’s stamp was engraved on it.
The Bioland family.
An invitation came from the Rail family.
Fenia calmed her rapidly beating heart at the unexpected family invitation, and she slowly opened the invitation.
And since his family is going to hold a ball among the nobles to build friendship there, it was an invitation to visit if you are interested.
Usually, people who want to get to know her, her great mage, sent invitations like this quite often.
Invitations came several times from the imperial family, but she rejected all such invitations as she was not interested in her friendship.
However, this ball was hosted by the Violand family. That meant that Rail also participated in the prom.
She meant that she could meet a rail she hadn’t seen in half a year.
So Fenia went to a ball she wouldn’t normally go to.
Kikiiik.
Penia opened the door to the ballroom, which was larger than expected, and went inside.
Currently, she has a young appearance working as a wizard.
As Fenia enters her ballroom, all eyes on her move to her.
-‘A person who does not attend the imperial ball is participating in this ball….’
-‘It’s the first time I’ve seen the Archmage up close like this…….’
Looking at her and her and admiring her, they start whispering to each other.
Not paying too much attention to her familiar reaction, she sat quietly in the far back seat of hers, as she had asked, out of sight.
Penia came faster than time to see the rails.
Time started to pass and nobles began to appear one by one.
But for some reason, as soon as the beginning of the ball approached, Rail didn’t show up.
In the end, the door to the ball opened the moment the presenter, who had been waiting for the rails, was about to start the ball with a microphone.
-‘You have arrived from Rail Violand.’
Everyone’s eyes turned to Rail, the organizer of the ball.
However, the expressions of those who looked at the rails were not very good.
Some cleared their throats and salivated, others frowned or even looked away.
I thought Rail’s eyes would have gotten better over time, but they had dead eyes as if they had fallen into an abyss.
His body, which was skinny, was fat enough to make his clothes look stuffy, probably from binge eating every day.
Fenia couldn’t help but doubt her own eyes at the unbelievable change in Rail’s appearance.
There was no one to talk to Rail until the ball was over, and Rail rode back in the carriage as soon as the ball was over.
Another year passed and Fenia participated in the ball again.
And again, Rail’s eyes were dead, and he was fatter than he had ever seen before.
Thus, the condition of the rails, which he expected to get better as each year passed, got worse and started to become more vicious.
His bad reputation has spread all over the continent to the extent that no one on the continent is ignorant of Rail Violand’s evil deeds.
Looking at the rail pushed to the backmost seat, Fenia realized that Jack was no longer visible from the rail.
Another year passed like that, and Fenia decided that this dance was the last time he would not attend any more.
Arriving at the ball again, Fenia sat in the back seat as usual.
And finally, I waited for the ball rail.
However, as time passed and the beginning approached, the rails did not appear.
The moment the moderator checked the time and was about to start awkwardly, the door to the ball opened.
And Fenia’s eyes widened at the sight of those who opened the door and entered.
The first thing that caught her eye was a girl dressed as a man with dark blue hair.
And Fenia’s gaze went down her face and toward the sword at her waist.
Penia remembered seeing that sword. She
She had seen many swords, but she couldn’t erase that sword from her memory.
She is a swordsman who hurt the dragon along with herself.
It was the sword of the sword master Aaron Period.
And with the appearance of a girl who looked similar to him, Fenia recognized at once that he was Aaron’s son.
But Fenia couldn’t help but widen her eyes when she saw the rail standing next to her.
You can feel agile and charismatic, but clear eyes with tenderness embedded in them.
Hair neatly lifted up into an all-back.
Though small muscles visible through the suit.
It was as if the dead Jack had come back to life.
Fenia looked at Rail and Aline, forgetting that the ball was going on.
She was joined at the table by his new friend, a cute-looking little girl.
Rayle did not ignore them in the slightest while talking to Allin, who seemed to be a commoner, and Layla, a lowly nobleman.
The appearance of having a comfortable conversation without discrimination was the same as playing happily with Rona in childhood.
And when Lyla, whom she was talking with, was angry with another noble, she used her magic without hesitation against her noble, as if she had been insulted herself.
Although her actions were still a bit violent, she had a warm heart that did not stand by and watch her own people get hurt.
Looking at the returned rail, she saw Alyn standing next to him, and Fenia realized.
That she had finally found her own second disciple.
Fenia opened her long-closed eyes.
When I looked around her, there was no sign of presence around her because everyone had already left.
There are no lights on in her mansion.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been so lost in thought.”
Fenia got off her wagon with a smile and slowly moved towards her mansion.
Jerbug. That buck
As usual, she would have moved her teleport magic to her room at once, but it was impossible to use her magic continuously, so she slowly walked to her own room.
Cold sweat runs down her forehead, and her hands and feet tremble.
No matter how much she is a great mage, her mana isn’t infinite.
With her struggles, Fenia reached the front of the room, but she couldn’t open the door into the room.
She just needs to reach her hand on the handle, but it’s out of her power.
And the sight is getting farther and farther away.
Side effects came to her body from using too much mana.
Just like that, her legs gave way and she fell to the floor.
“… ….”
She thuds when she falls to the floor. She must have made a noise, but there was no sound in the hallway.
For some reason, the floor, which was supposed to be cold because it was winter, was warm and soft.
In an incomprehensible situation, Fenia rubbed her eyes and opened them slowly.
Then, seeing her Lee’s face in front of her own, Fenia doubted her own eyes.
The one who met her eyes with Fenia let out a deep sigh and opened her mouth.
“Ha ha. I knew it would be like this. If it’s hard, don’t say it’s hard. Why are you overdoing it?”
A man with a lot of affection who can talk to her without a sense of distance from her great mage, and who is the head of the writer after her, but has a lot of affection to talk to commoners without hesitation.
The second disciple of Archmage Penia.
Rail Violand was holding Penia with worried eyes.
