53 – To the Kingdom
“Thank you…”
I said in return, wearing Rishari’s spare clothes.
‘Am I an idiot…’
I didn’t think about clothes.
My transformation form is that of a little girl around 10 years old.
Of course, the pants I was wearing fell down,
The top covered up to her knees.
Well, it didn’t seem like there would be any major problems if I just walked around wearing just a top, but my goal was to hide my identity.
I am of course bound to be suspected as I am wearing nothing but clothes.
‘But that doesn’t mean you can use illusion magic…’
Fortunately, Li Shari, who is petite, lent me her casual clothes, and when she rolled up her sleeves, they fit roughly.
“You’re a true sorcerer. Polymorph!”
In return, my entire body was now being massaged by Lishari.
Furthermore, her tone of voice, which used to be informal, changed to polite.
“Ha…Ha…What kind of technique is this? Even as a level 4 person, I can’t imagine such a high-level distortion of the laws of physics…”
She seemed quite excited and her breathing became heavy.
‘Only a significant magic otaku…’
But I didn’t have time to flirt with her.
Even now, magical power was being consumed intensely, and he was trying to increase his efficiency by squeezing out his mental power to the extreme.
Nevertheless, it would be difficult to withstand even 10 minutes with the magical power of the dagger at my waist that I am currently holding.
You have to get out of town quickly before that happens.
“Oh, let’s get going.”
“It would be better to follow what the nobleman says.”
When I suggested it, Jespa responded with a friendly voice.
‘Did they figure out that they were the same men, so they got along with each other…’
I felt a strange bad feeling from that strangely friendly gaze…
‘I guess it’s my mood.’
“Okay, let’s go quickly, Lee.Sha.Lee.”
Calia, who had always been shy in front of me, violently grabbed Li Shari’s head and dragged her into a headlock.
I folded the note I had written in advance, placed it on the table in the living room, and followed the adventurers.
—————–
“Umm…”
Sila stretched and got out of bed.
I feel refreshed after having a deep sleep for the first time in a long time.
Recently, due to an epidemic in the village and my father becoming critically ill, the capital has been out for a long time.
Sila rubbed her eyes and suddenly remembered that something important had happened.
“Riddle!”
She jumped up from the bed and looked around her room, but her room was empty.
“Where have you been… Huh?”
There was a loosely folded note on the table.
Sila carefully picked up the note and unfolded it.
Thank you.
-Tom-
Sila did not understand.
‘You told me to get married…’
Silas folded her note again and carefully put it in her bosom and ran towards the village entrance without realizing it.
“Haaak. Haak…”
I ran to the entrance at a full sprint, but all I could see were four people’s footprints on the floor.
“Why, why…”
Two streams of tears ran down Silas’ cheeks as she looked at the path outside the southern gate of the village.
A few days later,
Barely freed from her emptiness, Silas was helping harvest the village’s crops like any other day.
“They say a new lord arrived yesterday.”
“Really? Then we’ll have another event. Ugh…”
I can hear the conversation between the men and women who work together.
The previous lord, the Margrave, held events for the entire territory on anniversaries such as his birthday and plundered the commoners.
“No, I don’t know, this lord won’t even have an inauguration ceremony.”
“Really? A good person came this time… Wow!”
The man she was talking with looked at Sheila’s back and held her breath as if she was surprised.
-Cheolkeng, Cheolkeng.
When I turned my head to hear the heavy sound of metal clashing, two knights from the territory caught my eye.
And between the two, an aged beautiful woman neatly dressed in military uniform walked proudly with her right hand resting on the ceremonial sword worn at her waist.
I guess he is a newly appointed lord.
Silas froze in embarrassment at the sudden situation, but as the adults bowed down, she bowed.
But something unexpected happened again.
“New Margrave Xavier Moore. Meet Princess Siluano.”
-Clap, clank!
When Scylla slowly raised her head and looked in front of her, she saw the new lord kneeling on the floor and bowing his head as the highest example of nobility, while the knights stood and raised their knightly salute.
Seeing that scene, Silas felt familiar, but now also unfamiliar.
“Raise your head, Lord Moore.”
The villagers, who had been dumbfounded by the natural majesty that suddenly radiated from them, realized it clearly and knelt down towards Scylla.
“What’s going on?”
Something must have happened to the empire.
“This.”
The Margrave took out a letter from his pocket and held it out to Silas.
The letter envelope decorated with gold thread and the seal stamped on wax meant that of the imperial family.
Sila opened the seal with trembling hands and checked the contents.
The content was truly shocking, and it was life-changing for her and her father.
———————————————
“Ha…”
Duke Tyler sat at the desk in his office and sighed deeply.
This is because too many ‘special events’ have happened one after another recently, leaving us with no time to sleep.
“Terrorism in the royal capital, kidnapping of sorcerers, appearance of demons, and now an imperial coup…”
The emperor suddenly fell ill, and the second princess won the political battle that naturally took place.
If time passed, the second princess would become the next emperor.
A few days ago, all of the evidence of the second princess faction’s conspiracy was suddenly revealed.
Attempt to poison the emperor. And the crime of putting that false accusation on the 1st princess.
It was a very surprise attack, and it was carried out by a neutral faction that had equal or greater power than the Second Princess faction.
Because of this, the 2nd princess’s faction could not even properly resist and all involved were executed, and the 2nd princess was exiled to the border like the 1st princess did in the past.
The person who led it all was none other than Duke Martin, the head of the Empire’s neutral faction.
A super high-ranking magician who can be considered to be more than half of the entire Neutral Faction based on his single strength alone.
Originally, the seven sorcerers on the continent did not show their power as much as possible and only revealed their power in special cases such as invasions by foreign powers.
Duke Martin of the Gold Dragon bloodline broke that implicit rule this time.
The imperial family is currently occupied by him, and the first princess is returning to the imperial family.
The power landscape of the strongest nation on the continent has changed, so of course there must be some change in stance in the kingdom as well.
Because of this, the royal family and key nobles were once again in trouble.
“The good news is that we heard the news together.”
There was also good news.
Thomas was found on the border of the principality, and his life was not in danger.
And that he is heading to the kingdom with a team of adventurers.
But as a result, one more job was added.
Assembling a team of knights to deliver Thomas safely.
Organization of the so-called Sorcerer Recapture Team.
It was an important mission assigned to him as the commander-in-chief.
‘I’d rather go.’
His existence was important not only to the kingdom, but also to his family.
A son-in-law who will continue the generations and a tool for strengthening the political base.
Therefore,
‘This time we have to leave out my daughter.’
In the two chase teams formed to find him, Beatrice was included both times.
I didn’t want to add it considering the possibility of her magical power runaway, but I had no choice but to add it because it seemed like it would run out of control if I didn’t add it.
‘Let’s try to persuade him well this time. ‘Trouble should not arise with the principality.’
I’m thinking that,
– Knock. Jump up!
“Listen…. What!”
From Noble mtl dot com
As soon as a knock was heard, the door to the office suddenly opened with a loud noise, and the duke glared at the butler in an annoyed voice.
“Well, the princess has disappeared!”
“What!?”
At the butler’s urgent shout, the duke ran out of the office at great speed.
—————————————-
“Now, if you go a little further, you will arrive at ‘Viln’, the southernmost border village of the principality!”
Rishari, who took out the map and looked at it, told me.
“Thank you, Lishari.”
I showed her her smile.
I’ve only been traveling with the adventurer team Chili Peppers for three days, but I’ve already become quite close with Richari.
She was quite friendly, and I didn’t stop anyone who approached me.
When she became convinced that I was a sorceress, she treated me with respect, but she told me to be comfortable with her, so we stopped talking.
But the female warrior Calia still had a hard time with me.
‘The first time he spoke to me was when I turned into a kid for a few minutes.’
She spoke to me, who had turned into a little girl, like a friendly older sister, but
After he returned to his normal self, he did not make eye contact even when I spoke to him.
“I’m sorry~ Even though he looks like a playboy, he’s a slut~”
“Rishari!”
I have now become accustomed to Rishari making a fuss and apologizing every time, and Calia putting a headlock on me.
For the rest, Jespa always had a solemn and serious demeanor, perhaps because he didn’t talk much.
We talked often, but I felt a strange distance between us.
‘What was that then…’
Jespa, like Calia, was one of the two people whose attitude changed when they saw my little appearance.
‘It was strangely friendly at the time…’
And sometimes I have been asked questions about it.
“Noble. How did you use the transformation technique back then?”
“Um… I’m sorry, but that’s a bit difficult to tell.”
The potion might be a secret of the kingdom, so I kept quiet as much as possible.
“Well, then, could you please try to transform again?”
My spa asked, his face turning red.
‘Ah…’
I sensed something was wrong.
‘This guy… Is he a lolicon?’
“Uh…”
I slowly take a step back towards Lishari.
-Tuk
I bumped into Lishari.
“Prepare your display!”
Kalia’s sharp command sound is heard.
Jespa, who was in the back row, quickly moved in front of Lishari, and Calia stood further in front of him, at the forefront, holding a shield.
And Li Shari clung to her side and raised her staff as if to protect me.
Looking ahead, four wolves come into view.
“With 4 of them… It might be a little difficult? Sorcerer, can you lend me some strength?”
“Uh, huh…”
This was my first time fighting an opponent who was so openly trying to take my life, so I answered like an idiot and put my hands on my waist.
