After the installation ceremony, I was following the queen.
This was also one of the customs, and since he was appointed as the next king, it was to take him to a place he hadn’t been to before.
Due to time constraints, I was only able to go to one of the many places.
The place I chose was none other than the first-class reading room in the lower building.
“I expected it, since you often went in and out of the mansion.”
“I did it because I thought there was nothing more important than information.”
“It is a correct perception. Those who stand at the top should be more sensitive to change.”
Chunk!
Opening the locked door and entering, an office-like space was revealed.
I had to go through the portal over there to get into the first-class reading room.
The queen naturally sat down in her chair and opened her mouth.
“Since we’re here together after a long time, let’s talk.”
“Yes, Mama.”
“What was your intention in saying that in your previous speech?”
It wasn’t an atmosphere of interrogation or scolding.
It seemed like a question I asked purely out of curiosity about what my intentions were.
“I thought that was the best way to get results.”
“What if the performance of those who have followed so far is lower than that of the new ones?”
“I will give preference to newcomers. Because the result is more important than the past when I was first in line.”
“Even if that decision jeopardizes your political standing?”
“I have the confidence to make a plate so that doesn’t happen.”
“That’s the answer I like.”
After that, the Queen stared at my hand.
To be precise, he was looking at the heavenly spirit caught on his index finger, and it was not difficult to grasp the meaning of that gaze.
“I heard that you have all the power that the Resurrection Church has been looking for. Is it true?”
“Yes, it is true.”
“I heard about the information, but I want to hear it from your own mouth.”
At the direction of the queen, the power of the heavenly spirit was displayed one by one.
Grey-white magic power that increases the power of the contracted spirit.
Super recovery absorbed from Silverted.

Lastly, I summoned the Heavens.
The Queen, who was watching this, waved her hand as if her observation was over and said,
“Cruz, do you know what the laws of the world are?”
“Yes, I know. It is characteristic of things called extremes.”
Transcendence magic, fighting, decisive battle.
The reason why these things exert different powers is because they are powers that deviate from the laws of the world.
In the case of magicians, excluding practicality, they can imitate the magic used by others.
But even that was impossible with transcendental magic.
This is because it was a force that escaped the restrictions of the world.
“Everything you saw is like that. It’s a power that cheaters can target.”
“Can you see the true nature of this power?”
This was a pure question and question.
I know all three of these are powerful forces outside the usual arc.
Because I couldn’t even guess what the nature of these things was.
It was said to be the power of an evil spirit, but I had no idea what the nature of it was beyond that.
“I can guess, but I can’t be sure.”
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to hear your opinion.”
“This is the power that transcends the inherent limitations of the human species.”
“Are you talking about how the Hoesang Church forcibly increased its level by offering sacrifices?”
“No, it is different. It must have been a method that was created by clumsily copying this. You could call it an imitation.”
The queen added the expectation that the power of the evil spirits on the continent of Feyer must be combined to exert their power properly.
“In other words, our main enemy is likely to target the power you have.”
The Queen’s guess was correct.
Since the great families joined hands with the remnants of the Resurrection Church… … .
It was certain information because it was found out from the captured Bernant.
“So I want to see magic. If it’s a 6-star advanced, it’s in the minimum category.”
“The best wizard in the kingdom will teach you, but who would refuse?”
The queen smiled happily at the joke-mixed pop-up.
“Cruz, have you mastered transcendence magic?”
“… … yes?”
The queen’s expression when she asked the question was very resolute.
It was a pure question, with no other intentions.
I couldn’t help but be surprised by this.
“If you inherited my talent, you might have already mastered it or got lost to some extent.”
… … How am I supposed to answer this?
It is said that the magician’s ultimate is harder to learn than fighting and decisive battle… … .
‘Even in the history of the Ronberg family, there were only three people, including me, who mastered transcendence magic as soon as they reached seven stars.’
I remember the events of that time clearly.
I used transcendental magic to silence everyone in a place where important people, including the elders of the family, gathered… … .
So I decided to ask an honest question.
“When did your mother wake up to transcendental magic?”
“I got the hang of it when I was in the 6-star intermediate level, and I learned it when I reached the advanced level.”
“… … !”
Does this make sense?
Did you learn transcendence magic before reaching 7 stars?
There was no such precedent in the long history of the Ronberg family.
‘Maybe, the Queen is more than I expected… … .’
The queen looked at me in shock and opened her mouth with a slight smile.
“Well, it might be difficult because it suddenly became a 6-star advanced.”
“… … I’m sorry, Mama.”
“No way. Come to think of it, I guess I didn’t consider the context too much.”
smoothly-
Drops of water floated on the Queen’s hand.
Its shape was like a flower budding.
Just that alone gave me goosebumps all over.
This was because both the signs of the spell and the flow of magical power were at a different level.
‘… … It’s been a while, seeing someone else’s magic makes me feel like this.’
The blooming water droplets moved gracefully and soon dispersed like a mirage.
After the demonstration of magic, which could be called a work of art, the queen slowly opened her mouth.
“Cruus, show off your most confident magic.”
The Queen’s intentions were clear.
Just like he showed himself a little while ago, it was to try a small-scale magic that could measure his skills.
Tsutsutsutsu.
I immediately applied my magic.
After creating an invisible orb on the palm, another magic was manifested in it.
Expansion, contraction, vibration, creation, etc., made the most of things that could be invisible.
If it were others, it would have been just enough to show off, but… … .
I showed all my skills because I was curious about how a wizard with skills comparable to that of a queen would evaluate my magic.
The queen stared at this with a serious face, then slightly raised the corner of her mouth.
“Nice understanding tool, Cruz.”
“Thank you, Mama.”
“However, it is a little strange. At this rate, he must have mastered transcendence magic.”
… … Can you even estimate that?
“At this rate, you will soon learn transcendence magic.”
“… … Is that so?”
“Yes, so I think this advice for you will suffice.”
Cheerala-
Her mysterious magical powers began to float in the air.
* * *
After the demonstration, the queen returned as it was.
He seemed to think that that alone was enough advice.
I couldn’t get that sight out of my head for a while.
In my heart, I wanted to keep thinking about it, but… … .
‘… … I can do this later.’
After that, the schedule and plans were tight, so I decided to enter the first-class reading room first.
It was to get all the information I didn’t know, whether it was the kingdom or the Feyer continent.
The first-class reading room met my expectations.
Not only the kingdom, but also the information on the Feyer continent was considerable.
The level was ridiculously beyond my expectations.
‘This will help a lot.’
The day after I came out, concluding that I should stop by the first-class reading room periodically.
I headed to the estate of the Alexander clan.
It’s because I made an appointment to meet with the Blue Lion Knights after the installation ceremony.
The knights greeted me with a completely different atmosphere than before.
They lined up from the entrance to greet me.
Kielus, who was at the forefront, bowed his head respectfully.
“Welcome, Your Highness Cruz.”
“It’s okay to talk comfortably, Captain.”
“Your Highness is the Crown Prince before being my grandson, so it can’t be.”
“Then please refrain from doing such a ritual in the future. Isn’t it a waste of manpower to do this every time you come?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
That’s how I arrived at the meeting room escorted by the knights.
Not only Keelus, but also those who were in charge of the captains of each unit were gathered.
They were still standing when I sat down.
“I have to tell you something, so everyone please sit down.”
Then they sat down.
… … Ugh, I can’t get used to this or that.
“The reason I created this place today is to discuss two issues with you… … .”
I stopped talking and stared at the captains in their seats.
Some of them were commoners like Felix, and some were Alexanders like Kielus.
Everyone had a stiff face.
“It’s just that your title has been changed to Your Highness, but the atmosphere is too rigid.”
“Your Highness, please be mindful of the fact that taking the position of His Majesty is so heavy that it is inevitable.”
“It’s not even a position that requires dignity, but I can’t help but think that this is excessive.”
“Brother, what did I say? Because this is too much.”
It was Isabel Alexander who responded to my words.
She is the queen’s aunt, but since she usually showed a friendly side, this atmosphere must have been more uncomfortable.
“How embarrassing must His Highness be? If it were me, I’d be sad because you seem to be trying to keep a distance.”
“Isabelle-nim said it exactly.”
“… … Your Highness says so, so I will follow.”
I could roughly understand why Kielus created such an atmosphere.
Although they were relatively comfortable with each other since they were related to each other.
It’s because he can’t do that once he becomes the crown prince.
In such a situation, if you behave casually like before, you can accept it as a challenge to the kingship.
So, until there is a clear request from me, the person involved, he must have decided that it was right to do that.
“Then, I would like to take the time to introduce myself before bringing up the matter. There are people I don’t know.”
At my instruction, the captains continued to introduce themselves in turn.
Actually, I knew everything, but it was an action to soften the atmosphere even more.
After introductions and small conversations like that, we got to the main point.
“The first business is to discuss my bodyguards.”
This was one of the privileges given to the crown prince.
Only the king and crown prince could form personal guards in the kingdom.
“Usually, those who have followed so far are the main axis, but… … As you all know, my power was created suddenly.”
As a result, he was somewhat lacking in preparation for becoming the crown prince.
I have a rough idea, but… … Due to lack of time, there were few verified talents.
“To clarify now, I was thinking of solving this by interacting with you guys on a regular basis.”
“Did you? That’s something I didn’t know before.”
“Tsk tsk, could a person who has increased his power to this extent in less than a year move without any ulterior motives?”
“Hearing that, I can feel that Your Highness is not an ordinary person.”
“I don’t know what to do since you look at me kindly.”
A small laugh broke out at my light joke.
After all, it’s better because it’s more comfortable than the heavy atmosphere.
“That’s why the establishment of the SS wants to get help from you.”
“To tell you my opinion, I don’t think it will be too difficult.”
“I agree. Besides, the knights of the Blue Lion are all upright, so I can guarantee that you can trust them.”
“Not only that, but Your Highness’ reputation has already spread throughout the kingdom. If you express your will, there will be an overflow of applicants.”
“Aren’t you asking for help because it’s difficult to verify them all?”
“Oh, I see. My thoughts were short.”
“There are many people in my unit who are interested in you, Your Highness.”
“It must be so, you have the skill and judgment recognized by my older brother.”
In this way, the adjustment and discussion of the direction I wanted was carried out without difficulty.
Unexpectedly, things went smoothly, and I felt the corners of my lips go up without my knowledge.
“Thanks to you, the first business was resolved without difficulty.”
“I am just glad to be of help.”
“Then let me tell you about the second business.”
“Speak, Your Highness.”
“I’d like to hear directly how you are accepting the Cheongsa’s lack of power.”
“… … !”
The atmosphere, which had been slightly excited, subsided heavily.
