“I’m going to go for a little walk. It’s a secret from Mom!”
His blank gaze focused on Cassena. Soon the captain of the escort shouted.
“My lady, how are you standing… … ? No, taking a walk, what the hell is that… … .”
“A walk is a walk!”
As Cassena threw herself off the ledge, gravity and updrafts soon wrapped around her body. Not only the Guardian Knight, but also Rain’s eyes widened.
“Oh no, wait!”
What kind of stupidity… … How long have you seen me, do you really believe this? What are you going to do if you die?
I had to jump down without even having time to scream.
A sense of floating, overwhelmed by gravity, with hair fluttering like crazy. In that sense, Cassena was laughing out loud as if she was excited.
From noble mtl dot com
“The shape of the magic square is fan-shaped, and the runes engraved are plate and bu!”
To explain, the traits of ‘footing’ and ‘injury’ were etched into wind attribute magic. Soon the wind calmed down, and the speed of the fall slowed down.
“Look at that, it’s really pretty… … ?!”
The exclamation that emanated from Cassena’s chest was released with pure white breath.
“It’s been such a long time… … ! Looking down on this city like this… … !”
That was the first time Cassena showed me an innocent smile.
I thought it was pretty.
Even in the negative energy of a disabled person who is eating away at the girl’s beauty… … No, maybe that’s why it was more contrasting and beautiful?
It seemed to be the first time since Lista that I saw a woman and thought she was beautiful.
“I mean… … I really loved watching this, but that doesn’t mean I always went up high.”
“Why?”
“Then my mother took care of me. Mom and Dad are busy every day, so they didn’t take care of me… … .”
Hey, there was a story like that.
Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink.
Around that time, the emergency bell rang in the mansion, and soldiers shouted from above.
“Anyway, you know this city well, don’t you? I’m a gilchi.”
Thanks to that, didn’t I get lost on the day of the entrance exam and take an additional exam?
Then, a confident and arrogant expression appeared on Cassena’s face.
“joy! Who am I? A woman who was good at tricking her mother and the guards and running away.”
Cassena laughed and pointed to the left with her finger.
“Let’s go over there! There is a rice cake shop a short distance from there, and the honey rice cakes are really good.”
“Yes, yes.”
The direction of the fall was changed by controlling the magic. As we slowly descended from the sky, passers-by could be seen whispering in bewilderment.
“Hey, what is that?”
In the midst of that attention, Cassena pounded Lane’s arm with an excited voice.
“I’ll run as soon as I land!”
“yes?”
“As soon as we land, we will run happily! Please do that, okay?!”
It’s my first time controlling the nervous system with magic, so it’s not something I can do as I please, but they just say things that are very comfortable.
Still, I can’t spit on that bright face… … I was hired as a private tutor, so let’s do our best.
Cassena, who landed in a sloppy dance, soon began to run barefoot with excitement, and her wild light purple hair fluttered vigorously.
“Uh, hey, that hair color… … .”
“It’s not the Paige family… … ?”
Perhaps because of her characteristic hair color, I could hear passers-by chattering. Either way, Cassena turned the corner excitedly.
“Come quickly! Right over there!”
I want you to know how hard it is to move my body while moving yours with magic… … .
“I’m running, I’m running!”
But since he was smiling brightly like that, I couldn’t say that I couldn’t spit on a smiling face.
“Here, here!”
The place where Cassena ran vigorously was in front of a rice cake shop.
“Give me all the rice cakes here, this and that!”
The gray-haired store owner, who had a lot of dumplings spread out on the counter, blinked. Then a faint voice trembled.
“Ka-ka-lady Cassena?”
“Yes, it is me! Long time no see?”
“Unbelievable… … No, somehow, I even heard that he passed away.”
The owner of the store had tears in his eyes as he watched Cassena mumble with his mouth full of rice cake.
“It was a joy to see the young lady come to such a humble house and enjoy the rice cake so deliciously, but I don’t know how to resolve this feeling.”
“You don’t have to. I’ll see you soon!”
When Cassena pointed at me, who had arrived a little late, and told me to give her white honey rice cake, the shop owner, who immediately held out a skewer, asked cautiously.
“What kind of person is this… … ?”
“This guy? she’s my tutor Still a provisional candidate!”
nice, yes
Cassena forced me to eat the rice cake, but I had to feel the pressure of the rice cake getting stuck in my throat right away.
It was because I saw human figures descending from the sky with magic similar to mine in the distant sky. The shield of the Page family, the sorcerer guards.
“You have to decide here and now whether you want to run away or get caught.”
Scary to see that, Cassena pushed the rice cake skewers she was holding with both hands into both cheeks like a squirrel.
I’d say you’re going to run away.
I’m really tired… … . I hurriedly took out the money bag, but the shop owner waved his hand.
“Oh, no, no! How can I get money from you! Just go!”
“If you don’t give me something like this, there will be problems later. then.”
After roughly handing over a silver coin, he and Cassena started running through the city.
Sometimes bumping into passers-by, breaking through crowds… … Even in the midst of that, Cassena did a perfect job of guiding the way through the alleys here and there. in a very exciting voice.
Is it so happy to be able to run around the streets you love without being pointed at by anyone?
“There, to the right! Fountain coming soon! left there! you idiot! Not that left, that left! Are you Gilchi? Can’t you even find your way?”
“Which left is that left, huh?!”
However, even this runaway trip is useless in front of skilled hunters.
One on the roof… … .
And another one right behind? However, since there is a concern that Cassena will get hurt, she won’t use dangerous attack magic.
‘The siege is closing in an instant. That’s great.’
Then I have to be caught at this point so that neither I nor Cassena gets hurt.
“What, the running speed has slowed down!”
“Magic power, not enough magic power.”
actually not enough
I gradually slowed down my running speed, and as soon as I entered a deserted alleyway pretending to be a mistake, my foot caught on something and flew into the sky.
Then there was a click, a metal sound that came half a beat late.
One of the speed-of-sound steps displayed by those who have reached the pinnacle of quick swordsmanship.
“I got it.”
Right before the unsightly plummet, I was able to face an absolute sense of intimidation as I rolled to the ground and raised my body.
was an old knight.
The iron armor that escapes in the twilight is not an expensive decoration, but a scar from the turbulent years, showing off the owner’s strength, and behind it, three rings of magical power flicker brilliantly.
The swordsman’s magic.
Chain (鎖; ManaChain).
Even three layers… … Isn’t the stage of the Three Chains the stage that a genius swordsman among geniuses can reach? For reference, Lista was four layers.
The old knight who appeared at some point was holding Cassena politely.
In that instant, I was able to neutralize it with my feet and at the same time secure Cassena.
Swann, the guardian knight of the Ludwig family, is also a great talent at a young age, but when it comes to the Page family, the leading guardian knight is an absurd master.
“Let go, Ansain, let go of this! let go! lane!”
“I can’t do that, my lady.”
“Run away, you run away too!”
“If I tried to run away, I would have no choice but to resort to armed action, Lane Wiesak.”
The eyes that looked at me from the corner of the old knight’s wrinkled eyes shone eerily.
Is there no way to escape… … .
The magic guards appeared on both sides of the rooftop. But even if it wasn’t for them, I had no intention of running away anyway.
“This bastard, this bastard… … .”
Soon, a middle-aged man, gasping for breath, appeared with countless guards. Cassena’s father, Yuren.
“Tell me why I shouldn’t kill you right now… … Lane Ludwig.”
“The lady said she wanted to see the city, so I only ordered it.”
“They must have tried to kidnap you! What to do with a child who can’t even walk properly!”
Have you been through such a shocking event that you can’t make a decision in your head? Yuren raised his fists, sighed, then looked at the old knight.
“Ansane!”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“It’s a summary judgment, I’ll cut this guy’s wrists right here!”
wrist? No, the story gets too nasty? But here you have to wait.
“Your Highness, hey, this is a descendant of the Madose family.”
“I am the Grand Prince of the Prince of Arfen!”
Since I am the son of the Madose family, Ansane showed a hesitant look, but at the master’s order, she reluctantly put her hand on the hilt.
Something seems very urgent, but here there is a corner where I firmly believe.
that’s right
“If you touch my tutor, don’t let go!”
It is Cassena’s courtesy.
The moment Cassena shouted, Ansane, who was approaching me, stood still.
Yuren narrowed his eyes.
“Casena, what are you saying now… … ?”
“Daddy is an idiot! I hate you, I hate you! You always refuse to listen to me!”
“That guy tried to lure you in and kidnap you. Trying to defend a guy like that… … .”
I’m sorry.
I’m not stupid, why would I… … .
“no! No! Lane was first! Lane knew what I wanted and was the first to let me go outside!”
“If it’s a walk, I can do it… … .”
“With dozens of guardsmen? People are pointing fingers! I laugh while watching! You didn’t listen no matter how many times I told you, right!”
“I think of your comfort—”
“—Yes, it must have been! You must have thought of my comfort! But my heart… … You didn’t even think about it… … .”
Tears flowed non-stop from Cassena’s face as she shouted. It was the moment when the wedge was stuck in the game.
The old knight Ansane and the guards, who were wary of me, as well as Yuren, who had been outraged a while ago, were sweating profusely, not knowing what to do.
“Ooh, don’t cry, Cassena. I was wrong. But isn’t this guy taking you out with an escort? People must have looked at it strangely.”
“It didn’t just take me out. made me run! He said he would make me walk again!”
Yuren blinked his eyes as if he was dumbfounded. And when I looked at Ansain, Ansain nodded politely.
“Yes, you must have been running… … God is also amazed.”
“Isn’t that supposed to be telekinesis? How many wizards have there been that would try to make you walk with it? You were the one who rejected them all.”
“No, that’s not it! I can feel myself running. It was different from telekinesis! Dad, I want to learn magic from Rain. So I will walk on my own!”
How should I explain the emotions that heated up in Yuren’s heart at that moment?
A child who threw away the present, the future, and the past, and just wanted to die in a small room, is talking about looking at the future?
Yuren stared blankly at Cassena and Rain, then strode up to Rain and grabbed both of his shoulders.
“Is that true? Will you really let my daughter walk?”
“Yeah, you’ll have to try it, but I don’t think it’s that difficult.”
“Forgive me for saying bizarre things out of my lack of context. And if, if you really do it… … I will give you a huge reward. If it’s something I can’t accomplish on my own, I’ll ask my older brother, the Duke of Arfen!”
The reward has already been promised, so it’s okay. A reward for the king is just burdensome for nothing.
Anyway, was the gamble successful? … .
Ugh, it was a heart-throbbing moment, but I think it ended well. Now, my aunt will be cleared of false accusations, and I will get permission to handle the Index of Prohibited Books.
‘what… … .’
Rain glanced at Cassena, who nodded at Yuren’s changed attitude. He was smiling as if he had never cried.
‘It seems that the favorability side has been resolved roughly.’
Starting from the events of the day, the job of a tutor to guide Cassena Page, the heir of the Prince of Page’s family, was added to his already busy daily routine.
