152 – A small prize. Trixie.
It hadn’t been long before she came to her senses, but January’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
There was a clear distinction between winners and losers.
The winner is Trixie von Fritz.
She won her victory over April, who was using White Flame. In other words, she rose to the position of head of the household.
“Nonsense….”
The outcome was clearly decided, but accepting it was another matter. April’s skills were renowned, and her reputation among those who handled flames was by no means low.
In the first place, why did April go to Daesoorim instead of the academy? It was because she was confident that she would be able to win the test no matter when she returned to the mansion.
But she was defeated. To Trixie of the Blue Flame.
“….”
January suddenly looked around her.
All of her relatives who looked at the fallen April were in a state of shock. Because she was keeping her eyes together, not knowing where she was looking.
“Why don’t you just leave.”
At that time, a cool tone hit my ear. It was a flan.
“Does it really have to be done more to be verified?”
“….”
After belatedly understanding her meaning, January gritted his teeth.
She had many thoughts, but nothing she could say. In this situation, no matter what I say, it won’t be able to do it.
April was defeated.
It was a result that was neither controversial nor inexcusable.
It’s dizzying in front of my eyes. The verification failed, and because of this, I couldn’t even dare to predict how much the phase of the white flame would fall.
“….”
January swallowed her dry saliva. His gaze turns to Trixie, who is incapacitated.
Even if it’s a bit petty, there is still a way. This side has a lot of heads, so if you challenge Trixie in that state one after another….
But then.
“Give up.”
Flan’s voice pierced my ears.
“… ?”
January’s eyes turn to Plan.
Through the pitch-black bangs, he could see Flan staring at him with red eyes.
“It means to throw away that obvious thought.”
“… !”
A shock that could not be hidden spread over January’s face.
‘Did you read my thoughts?’
From the first time we met, he thought his eyes were unique, but he doesn’t adapt well to Plan’s attitude of knowing everything.
January covered everything.
“What was I thinking….”
“I would have said, it was obvious.”
From noble mtl dot com
“… !”
As Flan took a step closer, January flinched at him. It was a very arrogant attitude, but the problem was that it never felt arrogant.
“Now, I don’t know what you keep talking about.”
“Do you remember the conditions April put forward?”
“What?
“From now on, you will have to deal with me. Didn’t you say that it didn’t matter if the representatives, including me, participated?”
Plan continues his words calmly.
“If you are not confident, throw away the thought of continuing the verification.”
“….”
January could not return any answer. As if that silence itself had become an answer, Flan nodded his head.
After some more time, when Plan turned around, January, who had belatedly gained courage, added his words in a hurry.
“It’s only now that I’m relaxing like that. Do you know what family the white flame is tied to? Knowing that… !”
“Nothing will change.”
An answer that comes back without even looking back. January’s mouth went dry at Plan’s seemingly casual attitude.
“Even if that family is the Cloud family? It’s not an ordinary family, it’s a knight family, Cloud?”
“….”
Flan then quietly turned around.
And January, who met his eyes, was startled.
It’s to the point where I can feel the gentleness of his appearance so far. When she met the deep red eyes, her legs trembled instinctively as if facing a predator.
“Go away.”
“….”
There were not many options for January. He stared at Plan without a word, then quietly lifted April up and left. The rest of his relatives also looked up and followed suit.
After that, the situation was sorted out in a flash. As the tense tension disappeared, the maids were able to move in earnest.
“The Cloud family.”
And flan suddenly muttered.
White Flame, Cloud Knight Family.
There is a need to find out the connection between the two.
◈
Two days later.
It was only then that Trixie was able to push her eyelids up.
Where is this place, is it true that she is currently alive? The first thing that came to mind was those thoughts.
“… Eww.”
However, the pain in his whole body was too clear to be dead. Isn’t this pain proof that you are alive?
“Ah, lady!”
Tricksy was startled by the sudden voice. The maids crowded into the room, all looking at Trixie with worried eyes.
What the hell is this…. But it soon came to mind.
Verification requested by April and other relatives. Despite allowing a blow to the neck, he steadfastly won the victory.
“I…. Surprisingly, he is alive.”
Trixie barely muttered. My mind is still hazy from the throbbing sensation in my head.
Said the head maid, clutching Trixie’s hand.
“Sure. Her fiancé helped her.”
“Fiancé… ?”
“I mean Plan! Miss, do you know how worried we were? You’ve shed so much blood, it’s really…. Really….”
As if she didn’t want to think of that time, tears were already welling up in the maid’s eyes.
“Ummm….”
Trixie only blinked periodically. Her body was burning with high fever, so this was the best she could do.
“Dad.”
“The lord….”
The head maid avoided her gaze and blurted out her words. That alone became her answer. Also this is reality.
“All right.”
Tricksy spat out in vain. Now, no matter what means he seeks, he will never be able to reunite with his father.
As she thought about it, her tears welled up.
But it was then.
The sound of the door opening with a bang was heard in Trixie’s ears. Next comes the sound of the maids greeting each other.
“My lady. Your fiancé is here.”
The head maid whispers in her ear to Trixie.
“We will be away for a while.”
After that, a lot of footsteps overlapped.
How quiet was her own room? She’s still staring at the ceiling, but her room suddenly feels larger.
“Is your body okay?”
And then, a familiar tone colored my ears.
At the same time, a familiar scent flickered at the tip of his nose. Because it was the scent of Mr. Gakko, which Trixie loved so much, Trixie sighed and turned her head away.
“….”
But after all, it was flan.
Even though I know it’s just a flan, Mr. Gyo-cha keeps coming to mind. The body burning with high fever significantly lowered judgment, and there was also a reason that Mr. Gyo-cha wanted to see it.
“You don’t look okay.”
Muttering that, Flan placed his fingers on Trixie’s neck. To Trixie who was panting from the high fever, Plan quietly poured her magic power into her.
Trixie managed to part his lips.
“Again…. Hands over my body….”
“Don’t open your mouth. Because it takes a long time.”
“….”
I didn’t have the energy to speak any more. Trixie thought as she watched Plan heal her body.
Thinking about it, even if I hate to admit it, it seemed that Plan and Mr. Gyo-cha had a lot in common. Now that I think about Trivia’s tone, isn’t it similar to Plan’s tone?
As I spread my thoughts in that way, my physical condition gradually improved. It was Plan who broke the silence first.
“I had a hard time.”
A simple word. However, the tone is slightly warmer than usual.
“You became the head of household, and you achieved magical growth.”
“….”
“If you want something, I’ll give it to you.”
“I miss my dad.”
A wish I made even though I knew it wouldn’t come true.
“Tell me another wish. Trixie.”
Flan’s face looking down at himself. His expression seemed to have warmed up a little for some reason.
The girl slowly raised her hand and grabbed Plan’s wrist.
“… Then I will ask you one thing.”
With a face almost melted from the high fever, half-closed eyes, and a muffled pronunciation, Trixie struggled to connect.
“Who is Mr. Teaching?”
“Teaching.”
Plan put his trivia on the bedside table.
Then, she slowly closed Trixie’s eyelids with her hand.
“Sleep well and you will know when you wake up.”
◈
A week has passed since then.
Louis and Becky continue their training, while Trixie still wakes up and goes to sleep.
It is a natural procedure. Since his neck was bitten by white salt forged at high temperatures, it is right to see it as a miracle to be alive if you look at it coldly.
But I’ll come to my senses by tomorrow.
“Is this coming to an end soon?”
And now.
I am Trixie’s mother, the creator of the Blue Flame. I’ve been agonizing over Mia von Fritz’s grave for almost a week.
The reason is simple.
Everyone thinks that the tombstone has been deciphered, but they are mistaken. There was still only one spell left in this wreckage.
It was the very thing that gave me a sense of incongruity in the process of deciphering the magic book, and I was finally on the verge of a solution.
“As expected.”
This spell also contains the magic of ancient runes. It seems that Mia was also a wizard who understood that the magic of ancient runes was different.
However, my impressions of this technique.
“… Should I say childish?”
It’s just like this.
Tak.
The magic book mixed with ancient runes was covered with a sound. And he thought of Trixie, who passed on the blue flame.
It’s still just a weak flame in my eyes, but when it’s all polished, everyone will admire the blue flame.
Sure. Albeit somewhat childish.
“A present would be fine for you who have worked hard.”
It’s a small prize. Trixie.
I quietly laid my hand over the remains of the tombstone.
There is one thing left to show Trixie when she wakes up.
