141 – Orders, Not Bet
Aurora always got what she wanted with ease. She was basically smart, but also capable at the same time.
The emperor was in critical condition, and it was not known whether he could survive the day safely. He cut his emotions. The first princess, Naiobi, is on a journey to find her true self.
The third princess, Yu Shia, has spent nearly 10 years in her hospital bed in a vegetative state, so it is very difficult for her to judge whose orders she should follow inside the imperial palace, no matter how ignorant she is. Did not
“Hmm….”
But today.
The real power of the imperial palace, Aurora, had been feeling annoyance or difficulty for the first time in a long time.
The time is already approaching midnight.
She waited, even putting off her own sleep, to deliver her own voice to only one of her.
Geeing─
And finally, as soon as her orb lit up, Aurora laid her hand on hers. Originally, she was the man she should have met yesterday. Plan’s figure appeared in front of her eyes.
“You’re finally showing your face.”
“Yes.”
The crystal ball vividly penetrated the figure as if Plann was actually in front of Aurora.
“….”
Aurora looked at Plan without a word. He kept her upright without a word, and there are no faults. It was as if ‘formal’ was made into a person.
However, because of that, the question deepens. Why did this guy disobey her own orders?
It was Aurora who broke her silence first.
“Flan.”
“Yes.”
Ban’s worried voice, Yusia’s conviction that he would not be able to tame Flan. Those two things eventually made Aurora do what she was worried about.
“I called, but there was one guy who dared not respond.”
Aurora deliberately looked expressionless. Her insensitivity, which has always terrorized her bureaucrats, is slowly put on her face.
“Even though I conveyed her will more than twice, in the end, she did not visit the imperial palace until the end.”
However, despite hearing these sounds, Plan remains unconcerned. She just looks at Aurora with her straight eyes.
She doesn’t tremble in fear even when she faces herself. Be formal, but never bow. It is more important to show oneself honestly than to win her favor…. Plane was like that.
‘Is it fearless?’
She opened Advent Island to attract investors and promised to provide her with insufficient funds, but it is strange that she still does not pay attention to Aurora.
“Why didn’t you visit? You will have to convince me.”
From noble mtl dot com
“….”
“It’s a matter of course, but all the things that didn’t convince me had the same ending. There is no need to explain this.”
Plan slowly closed his eyes and opened them. Aurora’s story is completely someone else’s.
“… Did you?”
“Yes. There will be no exceptions in the future.”
“Isn’t the princess hoping for me to discuss with the court mages and pass on magic?”
“Yes. It looks like you read the message.”
Aurora quietly rested her chin on one hand.
“I knew the court wizards would come to me.”
“….”
There was silence for a while.
“What did you just say?”
“Since discussions on magic are held based on the seat of honor, I knew it would come to me.”
It was Aurora who burst into laughter.
“You talk really interestingly. Are you saying that you’re confident that you’ll be in the top position among the court mages?”
“Yes.”
“Your confidence is imaginary. An enterprising attitude is also appreciated. However. This is what I see.”
The voice that follows is calm but also cool.
“Are you still just a student?”
The second princess twisted the corner of her mouth. A chilly sneer escapes her lips.
“I enlightened the world without leaving the imperial palace, and I manage the continent without leaving the imperial palace.”
Aurora slowly descended from her throne.
One step closer to the projected plan.
“The continent is wide, and there are countless geniuses. Can you really be sure that you will stand on top? Other than that, I cannot understand.”
“I am sure.”
“Really, he is out of his mind.”
Aurora’s expression hardened vaguely. At the same time, silence settled in the inner chamber of the princess.
“….”
Aurora blinked her eyes several times, trying to organize her thoughts or control her emotions. Probably both.
“You take the world too lightly.”
“I just proved it until I was easy enough.”
“Really? The proof will have limits. There are also guys under me who have achieved much more at a younger age than you.”
“If you can clearly see my limits.”
Plan’s voice almost cut out Aurora’s voice. The princess twitched her eyebrows.
“Why is the princess interested in me?”
The space became quiet for a moment.
Aurora looked at the man in front of her eyes, losing her words for a moment.
She didn’t know the limits of flan yet. Her reason is unknown, but she didn’t work on her own abilities.
Faced with her still standing Aurora, Flan continues her own words without being intimidated in the slightest.
“The magic in this world still sucks.”
“… This world?”
Aurora slowly chewed her words, ‘this world’.
This world, this world. I felt something foreign, but I let it go first. Because that wasn’t the most important thing right now.
“I will definitely put magic at the center of the world.”
Finally, Aurora nodded her head.
“If you are that confident….”
Finally, Aurora stretched out one of her index fingers. She puts it on her own eyes.
“I have no choice but to see it with her own eyes. Your future is arrogantly invisible.”
She pointed to a section of the map spread out beside her seat of power. Lacheln Hill. It was an area where Aurora had recently weakened her barrier.
“There is something called the ‘dawn butterfly’ on Lacheln Hill.”
Aurora half closed her eyes.
“Will you be able to catch the Dawning Butterfly while competing with the others, breaking through the blood demons?”
The Dawning Butterfly, a mysterious creature that carries the faint light of dawn in its wings.
The ability to lose light with the slightest touch is also a characteristic, but the fact that it uses ‘transportation’ with a single flap of its wings was the reason it was tricky.
Of course, you can’t chase it because you don’t know where it teleported to. Therefore, although there are quite a few people who have seen it at first glance, there is no one who has observed or collected it for a long time.
“It is said that the dawn butterfly will start its activity after two weeks, so I will give it a week from then. Take care of her colleagues, pack a total of four people.”
“The princess.”
“No way.”
Aurora cut off Plan once.
“This is an order, not a suggestion. If the results do not convince me, I will be severely charged with not visiting the imperial palace yesterday.”
But then.
The clear tone of the flan permeated Aurora’s ears.
At the same time, his figure began to blur like fog. It seems that the ability to maintain the crystal ball that penetrates the figure has gradually reached its limit.
“I will catch the Dawn Butterfly.”
Unwavering voice.
“Only when the proof is successful.”
And the words that lead like assurance.
“The discussion is held in the Mage Tower. Even the princess, teach magic in the magic tower, not in the imperial palace.”
“I should have said this was an order, not a bet.”
“It will happen soon anyway.”
After the meaningful words, the shape of the flan soon disappeared without the slightest trace.
“It’s cheeky.”
A space where only silence remains. Aurora murmured quietly as she sat on her throne.
“It will take another three weeks until it breaks….”
It was virtually a fait accompli that the plan would break.
Buying and calling the dawn butterfly’s favor is something close to impossible, and chasing after it by teleportation is itself impossible.
But then.
“The princess.”
Half of the escort knights cautiously entered the boudoir. He politely bows in his usual manner.
“Looks like the knights have arrived. I will gradually activate the crystal ball.”
“… ?”
Aurora couldn’t understand Ban’s words.
“Isn’t the crystal ball still activated?”
“Yes?”
However, Ban’s face also becomes the same as that of the princess. He, too, did not seem to understand what Aurora was saying.
“….”
“….”
Silence flows for a while.
It was half that broke the silence first.
“You haven’t triggered the orb yet. It was confirmed that the knights had encountered the target, and they were just about to project Plan’s figure….”
Aurora made no reply.
No, she couldn’t answer. Her eyebrows narrowed, she only pondered for a moment how the current situation was going.
“… !”
And it didn’t take much time to come to an understanding.
“Teleportation…. Did you teleport… ?”
In Aurora’s muttering voice, there was an unusual feeling of bewilderment.
◈
She ran into Violet as soon as she left the library.
She didn’t come across by chance, it seemed like Violet had been looking for me all this time.
“Oh, flan.”
Wiping the sweat from her forehead with her handkerchief, her violet looked at me.
Compared to before, her face is full of life. It was the same when I saw that I couldn’t find any more dark circles on her face right away.
“….”
I looked at her without saying anything. She meant that if she had something to say, she just said it.
“Oh, nothing else. We were supposed to study ancient runes together. Because of it.”
Violet looked a little impatient and excited. Probably both. The joy when you can openly study what you want will be great.
“These are things I have been researching on my own lately…. Oh no. Talk about this later Look at my mind.”
She looked pretty distraught. She was holding a stack of papers in her arms, and her wide-brimmed robe was dragging on the floor.
“Oh!”
At some point, he accidentally steps on the end of his robe that stretches to the floor and falls down.
Violet, who was frantically floundering with her arms, hurriedly supported my body with both hands.
The conical hat on her head fell to the floor, and I grabbed the papers flying like doves in the air with my mind.
“Oh, sorry. I’m in such a hurry…. Evil!”
The frog on the top of Violet’s head clung to her face.
“Hat, my hat… !”
I sighed and put her frog back on top of Violet’s head. It was a bonus to put a cone hat on top.
“Go, thank you. I’m out of my mind mind.”
“Please calmly conclude.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Violet wipes her face with her handkerchief as she catches her breath.
“There is only one ancient rune language lab in the Faculty of Magic, but it looks like it needs to be cleaned soon.”
An ancient rune language lab in the Faculty of Magic.
I knew that place too. Too old
“I guess it’s about time to get my hands on it.”
“The problem is that I can’t use magic during the cleaning process. It is a very large space.”
From noble mtl dot com
I can roughly guess why.
Probably, it’s because of the piled up ancient runes or equipment that hasn’t been used yet. If the magic used for cleaning gets entangled with the ancient rune words and an abnormal phenomenon occurs, it will be very difficult.
“I will take care of it.”
But if I go out, the story will be different.
Since I had already been researching ancient runes from the previous world, I was confident that I would be able to finish the cleaning in less than 30 seconds.
“What do you mean, I didn’t bring this up to pass it off. It’s a lab we’ll be using together, so let’s do it together.”
“No need.”
“This makes me look like an irresponsible professor who entrusted a student with cleaning. I hate that.”
However, Violet was more persistent than expected. Giving for students is a good thing, but I found this kind of reaction just annoying.
Then.
“….”
Suddenly, my gaze was fixed somewhere.
It was just a passer-by walking leisurely, but I watched it like an instinct.
It was a shaggy janitor.
“… Why? Oh, should I call the cleaners too?”
After following my gaze, Violet asked, but my gaze and thoughts were focused exclusively on the cleaner.
Transition.
“….”
The more you look, the clearer it is. The person I met when I was transferred to this world and had my current body.
The person who made me clean the bathroom.
He is unique in both worlds.
He was the only one who hit me in the head.
“… As for the cleaning, I will take care of it.”
After speaking, I approached the cleaner.
Lmao
Flan i didn’t knew u were that petty
