Ailee Philost
Ailee Philost.
The second princess of the Philo Kingdom.
At the same time, he is a direct disciple of Rebecca Meredith, and a genius mage who reached the level of 5th circle at the age of 17.
The Ailee Philost came to Leon with curiosity.
‘You’re younger than you think, aren’t you?’
It was surprising.
Ailee was tired of hearing stories about Leon from her teacher, Rebecca.
The elders in the magical world had already treated Leon as a dragon, but Rebecca did not agree with the elders’ opinions at all.
Leon’s magic that she was able to observe properly was the only magic that was stronger than the Raging Blast and the Dragon Breath that the Demon Dragons emitted, but she could tell just by looking at it.
It is a magic created based on a solid theory that is different from magic that unfolds according to innate bloodlines and instincts without a definite system.
There was no doubt about the Taegeuk pattern that appeared as the magic unfolded, but the clogged elders refused to admit that a young boy, now only 11 years old, could not make such a magic.
In addition to that, the mana potion that Leon developed.
Rebecca took this opportunity to investigate Leon’s past, and in addition to that, she was able to confirm that she had proposed a new theory against the law of employee fiction in an academy class.
Rebecca, who can freely manipulate the magic of the elements under the name of the Elemental Master, could not help but marvel at Leon’s theory.
‘Do you understand, Ailee? If you ever have the chance to meet that child, be sure to put it on your side. If that child turns into your enemy, you will never have an easy life.’
Ailee had properly remembered the words of such a teacher.
So, Ailee approached Leon and held out her hand first.
“Nice to meet you. Sir Leon. I’ve always heard a lot from Master. My name is Ailee Philost.”
Leon put on an expression of surprise at Ailee’s polite greeting.
Leon’s ‘Sir’.
The title “King” was an honorary title given only to semi-nobles, such as those with titles higher than knights or wizards.
It was an exaggerated title to give to Leon, who is only just completing the academy secondary school course.
What that meant was that Ailee Philost was a sign that Leon was recognized as an official wizard and that he would treat him appropriately.
“Nice to meet you. Princess Ailee. My name is Leon Farostel, the 12th child of the Marquis family of Parostel.”
Leon responded with perfect manners.
However, Ailee only smiled bitterly at Leon’s appearance like that.
“You don’t have to be too formal. Just call me Ailee.”
At Ailee’s words, the escorts who were looking after her widened their eyes.
Of course, they were just military officers with no political ideology, but it was the first time I’d ever seen Ailee ask anyone other than Rebecca Meredith to ask for a concession.
Even more so if your partner is an 11-year-old boy younger than you.
Leon, who had been organizing his thoughts for a moment, answered.
“But the princess calls me a sutra and exalts me, so I don’t think it is disrespectful for me to call the princess low.”
“Then I will call you Sir Leon. Is that okay, Leon?”
Even though Leon once declined and withdrew, Princess Ailee strode into Leon’s arms.
Seeing her like that, Leon also smiled sadly as if he couldn’t help it.
But Leon took one more drink than Ailee.
“All right. No, I see. Ailee’s sister.”
“sister?”
“No matter how easy it is to call, elders should be respected.”
Of course, I didn’t really think about it that way, so I didn’t choose the name.
However, he thought that being friendly with Ailee would be beneficial to Leon as well, so he deliberately pretended to be friendly.
That would be the case, too, a princess.
There are very few families in the Philo Kingdom that boast more power than the 4th generation of magicians.
Even a duke family that inherits the royal lineage cannot take an advantage in terms of actual power compared to the four major mage families who lead the magic tower and have command over the wizards.
However, if you are of direct lineage to the king, you cannot easily touch them, no matter how the 4th generation of magicians.
If you believe in the military power of the magicians belonging to the tower and install it, you will be checked by other towers competing for power under the water and will collapse as it is.
In fact, even now, the brothers and sisters of the Farostel family, who were dispatched with Leon, were frowned upon seeing them having a friendly conversation with Ailee.
Since ancient times, hunting grounds have been frequently used as a battle for succession by nobles.
They kill with a five-shot shot, stab them to death, and secretly poison the prepared food.
Due to the nature of the social class that values ancestry, a child with a lower rank had to kill brothers and sisters who were born before him in order to rise to the top.
In that sense, Leon Farostel is a competitor with the potential to rise higher than them at any time, even if the successor ranks are lower than them.
In order to push Leon away from the succession struggle, this dispatch mission was perfect.
However, if Princess Ailee is by her side, they will not be able to be reckless.
Above all else, even though Leon refused to give up once, it was Princess Ailee who approached first.
She also sent a signal that she wanted to get to know Leon, so I was curious to see how she would react to the pretense of ‘sister’.
Surprisingly, though, Ailee smirked with a reddish expression on her face.
“Um, that’s good. I’ve always wanted a cute little brother.”
“yes? But even my older sister has a lot of younger brothers.”
The king’s children are eight.
Among them, there were two princes and one princess above Princess Ailee, and four younger sisters below.
But Ailee’s answer was simple.
“They are not cute.”
What Princess Ailee wanted was a ‘cute little brother’, not a ‘just little brother’.
According to rumors, the princes and princesses of the Philo Kingdom all resemble the King’s Highness, so there is no good male or female.
In other words, it was like turning around and saying that Leon was cute, so Leon sighed a little and avoided his gaze.
At Leon’s reaction, Ailee stood out.
Rebecca was terrified of her, so Ailee was very nervous while dealing with Leon.
So, she was not treating Leon as an 11-year-old boy, but as if she were a sorcerer with a thousand-year-old serpent sitting inside.
That’s why I purposely raised my title to “Gyeong” and told him to speak more comfortably, but the reaction of the other person was unexpectedly cute.
I mean, no matter how good your magic skills are, how deep can an 11-year-old boy feel deep inside?
Ailee looked at Leon with a bright smile, saying she was nervous for nothing.
But soon the appointment time approached, and the client of this dispatch mission appeared.
Ailee Philost had a status that was competing for dominance among those gathered here, so she had no choice but to be called in to hear the details of the mission on behalf of the subjugation squad.
Ailee, feeling sorry for nothing, said emphatically to Leon.
“Leon is waiting here! I’ll be back soon! Where can I go without saying a word?”
She said, “There was a cuteness that was not like the high status of a princess,” she said.
“It seems that the princess likes the master.”
Leon responded to Tina’s words as soon as Ailee left.
“You said it. My appearance is said to be a powerful weapon. Now is the time to slowly test the power of that weapon.”
At that, Isaac and Tina opened their mouths in surprise.
So, are you saying that all the appearances you see now were acting?
The appearance of a savvy boy who is thoroughly courteous to the princess, and the appearance of pretending to be innocent and calling the princess “sister”?
For those who are familiar with Leon in general, the name Leon’s ‘sister’ was a little uncomfortable, but at the age of 11, he realized that his appearance could be a weapon, and he must have reached the point of using it.
“Captain, I think I raised a monster.”
“Don’t worry. Tina. The master was not raised by you. He was a monster from the start.”
“Both of you, please refrain from talking. I’m sorry, Master.”
And soon, Princess Ailee returned.
The details of the mission were not much different from what I read in the request form.
It was said that the number of monsters in the mine had increased dramatically, causing a setback in work.
If there was an added point, would it be that the number of missing miners among the miners who went to work in the mine was increasing rapidly?
It was natural for the number of minor victims to increase as the number of monsters increased, but the problem was that the number far exceeded expectations.
Above all, even if the monster killed Miner and ate the corpse, traces of the equipment they were wearing should remain, but it seemed that no trace was seen.
It’s strange, obviously, but there wasn’t enough evidence to guess what was going on here.
Even as Leon, who knew information about the future, he only knew about the story of the entire mining town being destroyed.
But it was pretty obvious what had happened.
‘The demons must have destroyed it.’
Even if the means are unknown, the demons succeeded in infiltrating Aios by making a dimensional rift, the entrance to the dungeon, deep in the mine, and succeeding in destroying the mining city by some means.
“Then our mission is to find a dimensional rift somewhere in the mine and attack the dungeon, right?”
“okay. So Ios also offered to attach a guide for us.”
The mining city of Aios was so huge that it was hard to believe that the dwelling space of the miners was also an underworld, but of course, the tunnel extending like an anthill was spread out more widely around Aios.
Until now, many countries have invaded the mining city of Aios to monopolize the abilities of the miners, but the complexity of the maze-like tunnels made it a natural fortress, so no one could monopolize Aios.
Of course, it was a mission to search the place and subdue the monsters, so the existence of a guide to guide the way was essential.
However, even if it was a minor, he was not well versed in all the ways of the tunnel.
Several new tunnels are being formed every day, and the weakened ground is being buried and changing from time to time like living creatures.
Of course, since the number of field managers-level miners who knew all the ways of the tunnel were not so many, the subjugation squads were forced to subjugate in the form of a group of several groups.
And, of course, the subjugation squad to which Leon belonged was the one led by Princess Ailee.
It also included other children of Farostel.
The subjugation team was escorted by the minors and moved into the labyrinth-like tunnel.
