140 – … That’s our mansion!
Aurora stepped out of the boudoir.
She faced the visitors of the Imperial Palace directly with her own body. Behind her, as always, she had half of her escorts.
And the visitor to the imperial palace is her third princess, Yusia.
“….”
Yoo Shia, who was walking down her hallway, stopped when she encountered Aurora. Perhaps she wasn’t very pleased, but she seemed a little taken aback.
Aurora snorted her snort.
“Those who are told to come will not come, and those who do not need to come will definitely come back. Are you trying to trick me?”
Aurora murmured. She was as dry as a grain of sand in the desert, and Yoo Shia, who was about to pass by her second princess, hesitated.
“It’s okay. She’ll just pass by Today, it’s too much trouble to reprimand her lowly younger brother.”
“I heard you summoned Sir Plan today.”
“….”
Aurora slowly narrowed her forehead. She just glanced at Yoo Shia’s face who uttered her unexpected words.
“Did you need another toy?”
Yushia dared to look into Aurora’s eyes.
There was no star or moon in Yoo Shia’s golden eyes, but it itself shone like a celestial body.
After a moment of silence, Aurora smiled.
“The royal family knows how to deal with the world without stepping out directly. So, it shouldn’t be so strange to have a great person as my servant.”
As she said that, she placed her long index finger over Yusia’s eyelids.
“Also, you can’t see your future these days. It seems like you’re getting more and more involved with that flan.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“If I spare someone in a political strife, it is because I can clearly see their future. Do you know what this means?”
Aurora pressed her index finger hard against Yusia’s eyelids. Yusia did not back down.
“… If you can’t see the future and act so arrogant, I might pluck out your eyeballs.”
“Even if you do, you won’t be able to play with Sir Plan like a toy.”
Aurora blatantly crumpled her expression.
Planting was uncomfortable. I had already heard the same story twice in one day, so I was at my limit.
“Today, there are many people who talk nonsense….”
The corner of Aurora’s mouth turned toward her as if it were laughable.
“When I’m bothered by something, there are always people who think that I’m withdrawn. Forgetting my position for a while, just say something like that.”
An ambiguous voice, as if it were a sentiment or a complaint. Yushia responds with a calm voice.
“Rather, the second princess is mistaken. Also, you don’t know anything about Lord Plann.”
Their eyes collide again in the air.
“You may want to take something and train it, but I think it will be the opposite.”
“Ha.”
Aurora snorted at Yusia’s words. She soon stops laughing and asks seriously.
“Yusia, can you be sure of what you say?”
“Yes. Because I know Lord Plann well.”
“….”
Simple answer indeed.
However, the remark was enough to ignite Aurora’s benevolence and possessiveness.
“That’s right.”
She nodded her head a couple of times, and soon, she remembered her expression, whether it was a smile or anger.
“At first I was very angry with Plan, but he wants to move it all on to you.”
“This is what I was hoping for.”
Yoo Shia answered with sincerity. Aurora takes a step closer and closes the distance between them.
“We’ll have to see if things turn out the way we want them to. You will have to make a bet with me.”
Bet.
What that meant was extremely cruel, but Yoo Shia’s reply was just a smile.
“I can guess what kind of bet it will be. I bet Lord Plann is not tamed.”
“….”
The second princess looked down at Yoo Shia. That boundless trust was very disturbing.
“Yes. But if tamed, you will have to keep your eyes open.”
One of Aurora’s hobbies is collecting eyeballs.
For Aurora, who has tolerable celestial bodies in her pupils, what is empty is the ‘sun’. It was asleep in Yusia’s golden eyes.
Yusia nodded her head.
“Then if I win….”
“That will not happen. If that happens, I’ll listen to everything I can say.”
“I will make a request for Sir Plan.”
“You should take care of that.”
The two princesses passed each other crossing each other.
After a while, the distance between the two princesses became completely distant. Van cautiously opened her mouth.
“Are you sure you want to bet?”
Aurora stopped. Ban also stops, and she puts her hand on Aurora’s back and continues her words.
“Just punish Plan and be done with it.”
“….”
“Isn’t it?”
Eventually, Aurora turned to her escort driver. Ban respectfully bowed her head.
“There is no reason to clash with the third princess.”
“It is not a conflict. Just step over it She has been stepping on it since she was born, but she seems to have forgotten the subject again.”
The conversation no longer continues.
“Prepare the crystal ball. I’ll have to open my mouth myself and deliver the words to that flan.”
After that, Aurora started walking again.
There was no reversal of her order, and Ban, who understood her meaning, quietly followed her.
◈
The next morning.
Except for Plan, the three representatives of the Faculty of Magic were exhausted in the lab.
“I’m really going to die at this rate…. How good would it be if the magic tower were summoned? If you just summon it, it will happen.”
Becky knelt down on his desk.
The reason they were exhausted was extremely simple.
After the financial problem was resolved, the next thing needed was land to build the mage tower, and Plan left the selection of the land to the three wizards.
The problem is that the difficulty of ‘selection’ was enormous.
Observation of topography, air flow, and density of 3D maps…. Even each observation requires a huge amount of mana and concentration.
As a result, it was an established fact from the beginning that they had to stay up all night.
“Sure. I’m glad that Flan trusted us, but on the other hand, his shoulders are too heavy. What we are looking for right now is a place to build a mage tower.”
The owner of the voice was Louis. He smiled brightly as usual, but at some point dark circles appeared on his face.
“That is so strange. It’s obviously incredibly important, and Flan is better at magic than we are. But why does she bother to leave this to us?”
“I wonder about that too. After all, I wonder if there is something you want to convey to us.”
“… That’s a real possibility. If it’s flan.”
With a yum sound, Becky took a big bite into the egg tart.
Trixie’s maids stopped by this place at dawn to prepare luxurious desserts and packed lunches, but practically everything ended up in Becky’s mouth.
“By the way, I found a decent piece of land, but what if someone already uses it?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Flan told me not to worry about that. They said that no matter what, they would eventually build a mage tower.”
“Well… He’s the guy who does it. The flan. No, wait. So even if you have a house, are you just pushing it away?”
Becky’s mouth fell open as she muttered. And suddenly, at some point, the eyes of the two turned to Trixie.
“Trixie. Do you know anything?”
“Hmm?”
Trixie, chewing on a carrot, twitched her eyebrows at Becky’s unexpected call.
“What?”
“No, Flan emphasized it several times.”
Becky continued, this time munching on a sandwich. That bothered her so much that Trixie narrowed her eyes involuntarily.
“Tricksy, you are in charge of land selection, and it is also the most important thing. Didn’t Plan say that because he knew something?”
Trixie silently chewed carrots like a rabbit.
Becky wasn’t lying. Just like she said, Plan had emphasized several times that Trixie’s role was important in this screening.
But what do you need to know?
While examining the three-dimensional map, he was told to select a suitable place, but he himself did not know anything about it.
… I just participated because Gyo Gyo-ssi gave me gloves.
“How about Lacheln Hill?”
Becky opened her eyes as if it was a good idea.
But Louise quietly shakes her head.
“There is a rumor spreading rapidly these days. The barrier on the hillside has weakened, and it’s turning into a very dangerous area.”
“Really? Hey, looking at the three-dimensional map now, it seems that the airflow has become a little cloudy….”
“Yes. I don’t think it’s a rumor at all.”
While having a busy conversation, they continued to look at the terrain on the 3D map.
However, even for students at the level of students, there was almost no terrain that “Perfectly” Met the 27 conditions set forth by Plan.
No, not at all.
“There is no place like this even inside the academy. At this rate, there is only one place left in the vicinity….”
“Huh? That’s right! I haven’t been there yet!”
Which place are you talking about? Trixie wanted to warm up by doing ballet, but she couldn’t.
Because I paid for Mr. Gyo-cha’s eyepatch in advance.
Trixie eventually immersed herself in fantasies to overcome her boredom.
What is the meaning of giving an eyepatch as a gift? You will have to see me all over your eyes…. Maybe it was given that meaning. There is a possibility.
“Trixie! Take a look at this area!”
“….”
My thoughts were shattered by Becky’s loud voice. Back in reality, Trixie quietly bit his lower lip.
Said Becky.
“Me and Lewis ran out of mana. And in the field of observation, you have the highest grades.”
“Okay.”
Trixie reluctantly pulled the three-dimensional map in front of herself. If it’s about one area, it’s possible.
“Start.”
Trixie raised her mana and started observing.
Every second, a bunch of mana was consumed and the true nature of the area was revealed, and as information was obtained, all three of them had to close their eyes.
The dazzlingly clear blue air current.
This area had a dazzling brilliance enough to build a mage tower, and was rich in nutrition.
“Oh! Success!”
“There was a reason why Plan entrusted it to Trixie.”
Becky stretched his hands to the sky and sang for joy, and Louis smiled broadly.
However.
Only Trixie tilted her head to one side.
“… Why are you used to this?”
It is strangely trodden on by the eyes.
I’m familiar with it somewhere, and I only checked the topography and altitude, but it seems that I can picture the details in my head. It even seems to smell.
Has your magical realm risen?
Then suddenly, at some point.
A thought struck Trixie’s head.
“Wait, wait.”
At the same time, Trixie also realized why Plann emphasized her by calling herself the general manager.
“….”
Trixie slowly narrowed her brows. Without realizing it, I swallowed a dry saliva.
A pure white mansion that stretches horizontally.
A garden with lakes and flowers in full bloom.
A place that embraces the beauty of each season.
This is definitely….
“… It’s our mansion!”
Trixie jumped up in a fright.
Fritz is the right place to build a mage tower.
It was the place where my family’s mansion was located.
◈
I’m in the academy’s library.
“Hmm.”
Spending the night here was somehow helpful in researching the school. In the first place, it is a space with tens of thousands of books, so it is strange that it is not helpful.
I suddenly looked at my watch.
By now, Trixie should have figured out a suitable place to build a mage tower.
I have already decided to build a magic tower there, so from now on, persuasion will be the key.
“Did you say it was a discussion with the court mages again….”
Investigation, investigation, investigation, investigation. I focus on information so that I can have an edge in any situation.
How much time had passed like that?
At some point, I felt the presence.
“Flan.”
A knight who appeared out of nowhere called me in a low voice. I didn’t even look at them and concentrated on reading.
… After reading five more pages, it was over.
“Flan.”
“Flan.”
“Flan!”
By the time they almost yelled at me, I finally closed the finished book.
After putting it back on the bookshelf, I turned around and looked at them.
The article said.
“There was a call from the second princess.”
“I know.”
Then he wrinkled his expression a little and said.
“And you didn’t visit the imperial palace.”
“I know.”
His expression became even more contorted. There is a slight hint of anger in his voice.
“You really don’t know what you did.”
I paused for a moment.
However, no matter how you think about it.
“I know.”
I didn’t know anything.
She gonna get humbled 💀
