67 – I should have listened to my father when he first spoke…
“Don’t act pitiful.”
Even though Titis looks like this, she is a witch who killed tens of thousands of people in the empire.
Titis, the witch of transformation, can transform or control countless human bodies.
When dealing with this guy in her past life, there were many allies who were manipulated by Titis.
Changes into a hideous appearance.
-I guess so… Oh, no, is that right?
Titis, a cat whose speech changes.
Because I have a habit of imitating others, I also copy other people’s speaking style.
-Hmm, hmm.
Titis slowly stood up his burned body.
I shattered Titis’s imagination… Titis’ life is not in danger.
“So, why did you come to see me?”
I tried my luck.
You know that Titis alone can’t catch me.
If he had been the original Witch King, he would have attacked me along with all the remaining sisters.
Rumbling…… Coo thump!
I aimed the light thundering in the sky at this place.
Perhaps this guy is talking nonsense?
Titis trembled, his body shrinking.
-Hee, hee! I’ll tell you the truth, so don’t attack me!
“Listen to what you say and think about it.”
– Well, I just came to check if you, Dawn, have returned!
“…… ? “The Witch King just ordered it?”
In my past life, the Witch King tried to put a curse on me somehow and kill me?
-That…… Your Majesty hasn’t woken up yet. It’s my intention to come here.
Titis said, lowering the cat’s tail.
Is it real?
The tension subsides a little.
I thought the Witch King had already awakened.
“Looking at you, it seems that the Witch King has returned as well.”
-Exactly… Although you are in the process of regressing.
“Are we in the process of regression?”
-Your Majesty is now… Occupy your body. Because there is still another consciousness remaining in the body.
Unlike me, who returned without any problems, he wasn’t the Witch King.
I can’t believe I can’t properly control my current body.
It will take a long time for the Witch King to wake up.
However, seeing as Titis has regressed, the other witch sisters must have also regressed.
“Where are the other three?”
In my past life, I destroyed five witch sisters.
It kidnapped my inner self and evaporated everything.
So only four sisters, including Titis, remained.
-I am sleeping inside of you. I was originally sleeping, but I woke up when I heard your name!
“I see.”
Then it’s not as big a deal as you think.
Anyway, given time, I will continue to become stronger.
Wouldn’t it be worth a try by the time the Witch King wakes up?
Let’s deal with this guy for now.
I glared at Titis.
“You stay calm inside the Witch King. “If I see you again, I will go directly to kidnap you.”
-Hee, hee! Anyway, I can’t do much without your Majesty’s orders!
“You sent me a letter and you lied.”
I grabbed Titis’s back.
Titis was struggling, struggling as her neck was grabbed.
-Kek, kek! Why are you doing this!
“Do you think I don’t know that witches lie every time they open their mouths?”
-I came to Dawn for no reason!
“And don’t keep calling me Dawn. “I hate that title.”
-Then what should I call you? Our sisters’ enemies? The Last Knight of the Empire?
“Tsk.”
This is why people who know me are annoying.
I just need to call my name.
Just stick to the strange things.
I clicked my tongue and focused my magic on my fingers.
Tsutsutsu… ….
Fingers dyed in light.
From Noble mtl dot com
I placed my finger on the cat’s forehead and injected my thoughts into it.
‘Send a signal when the Witch King wakes up.’
Shuuu… ….
My thoughts were engraved inside the cat.
With a device like this, there would be minimal preparation.
Now, without realizing it, Titis will signal to me when the Witch King awakens.
I threw the cat.
“Get out.”
-Shaaak!
Titis landed from a distance, lifted his body close and growled at me.
-I don’t know what you’ve done to me, but I’m going to set it free!
“If you can, try it.”
My light regenerates even when it disappears, so Titis will not be able to solve it easily.
-Hmph!
Titis wondered what more I could do to him, so he cut out his tongue and ran away.
What a mess!
At the same time, the world collapses.
The virtual world, cracked like a spider’s web, collapses… My consciousness returned to the outside world.
※
Inner time is different from reality.
Luckily, less than a minute passed outside, and I was able to get out of the dorm with the nuts.
Dormitory entrance.
-Sabu!
Maya, who had been waiting, was hugged around my waist.
A small body that reaches the waist as usual.
Did you not feel the unclean magic power sent out by Titis?
Well, I’ve taken some measures, so I don’t have to tell Maya.
There is a faint curiosity in Maya’s eyes.
-There is someone who wants to meet my boss!
Who wants to meet me?
It seems something happened while I was away.
I raised my head and looked at where Maya was pointing.
On the way into the dormitory, there is a woman with light brown hair and an old man with white hair.
Looking at their clothes, they seem to be a lady and a butler.
The lady asked me while holding the hem of her dress with both hands.
“Maybe… Are you Evan Innin Grace?”
“That’s right.”
“Aha, nice to meet you. My name is Stia from Judith. Stia de Judis.”
A woman named Stia spoke while lightly lifting the hem of her skirt.
Isn’t Judith from a family that recently rejected marriage talks?
I guess the marriage talks are over?
“What’s going on?”
“That… I heard a rumor, Evan. He said he had caught two dragons…… !”
“… ….”
Stia speaks to me with her eyes sparkling.
It seems like they are trying to lift me up, but it doesn’t make any sense at all.
Stia keeps talking without notice.
“Quite like a warrior… ….”
“So what do you have to say?”
“Ah…… That is.”
“Little lady.”
To Stia’s right, a butler with a dark complexion is looking at me.
This is often seen when making a shameless request.
Stia also looked at me and hesitated.
“Maybe… Are you interested in the concubine room?”
“……….”
The idea of just listening to the story is completely shut down.
It was just useless talk.
What about the concubine room? I have no intention of getting engaged.
I was wondering if Stiana butler was a strong swordsman, but she was just weak.
What a waste of time.
“No. As you may have heard, Marquis Yashur is my future fiancé. The wedding talk was cancelled. “Please return home safely.”
I held Maya’s hand and turned around.
“Let’s go, Maya.”
It is time to train in the gravity room.
※
Stia looked helpless.
Ah, I should have gone out of my way to meet Evan on the day I was planning to get married.
Evan, who was rumored to be the academy’s libertine, has changed completely.
He was not a libertine, but a training enthusiast who felt like he was living in a gravity room.
A talented person who killed two dragons.
He was a noble wolf-like person that first-year students feared.
‘I am…’ … ‘You idiot.’
If only there had been a little more enthusiasm for marriage talks.
If he had gone straight to the academy when his father first brought it up, wouldn’t he have been able to take on the position of royal wife?
Of course, Evan would have refused even then, but Stia was very disappointed.
Evan moves away.
The girl who walks next to Evan is better than Stia.
The girl, Maya, glanced back at Stia and stuck out her tongue.
Maya did not want to lose her Master to many people.
Master wants you to spend a lot of time with him!
“…… !!”
Stia opened her eyes and her heart seemed to drop.
It came as a shock and a feeling of defeat that a seemingly innocent girl had made fun of him.
Maya turned her head and disappeared with Evan at her quick pace.
Stia soon disappeared from Maya and Evan’s attention.
Stia was such a being.
“…… “Go back, little lady.”
Only Butler Ron’s gloomy voice remained.

Time has passed.
Final exam period is quickly approaching.
Students in the library looked at the textbook with tired eyes. Studying for an exam.
On the other hand, Evan is on the advanced list, and Maya is reading a book at the table where Evan can be seen.
The final exam wasn’t important to Evan anyway.
-Sabu…… !
Maya calls out to Evan in a quiet voice and waves her hand.
Evan nudged her and nodded.
In the meantime, Evan often came to the library with Maya.
So that Maya can devour more knowledge.
When we first came to the library, Evan picked out a good basic swordsmanship book for Maya.
The in-depth list will still be difficult.
But isn’t Maya staring at her picture books in fascination?
‘…… As expected, Maya is attracted to picture books.’
Evan honestly hoped that Maya would only be interested in swordsmanship, but she didn’t bother to mess with Maya’s tastes.
Instead, I made a promise to Maya.
If you read one book on the basics of swordsmanship, let’s read one picture book.
I want Maya to study even if she plays.
Maya brightly agreed.
Thanks to this, Maya was able to carry around a swordsmanship book and a fairy tale picture book.
Currently.
Maya thoroughly read the basic swordsmanship book and dabbled in fairy tale picture books.
I don’t know where it came from, but it’s a fairy tale about a dragon saving a kidnapped teacher.
-hehehe.
Maya sighed and opened the picture book. Maya’s happy times.
There is no need to disturb.
Evan turned his head.
Now that you’ve identified Maya, she just needs to do her reading.
‘I guess I’ll take a look at another book soon.’
Evan thought while looking at several books.
After returning, I read too much of Altair’s books.
I want to read a different kind of book…….
Evan chose a book that caught his eye.
「Analysis of Sword Saint Mayer D. Valois. Author: Blake de Fiore
‘It’s an analysis of Mayer… Normally, analyzing another family’s arcane swordsmanship is taboo.’
I don’t know who the author Blake is, but Fiore comes from a family of famous swordsman scholars.
You probably didn’t make a mistake.
What about the contents?
Evan opened the book with curiosity in his arms.
Chrrr.
Evan checked the table of contents of the book and quickly flipped through the paper to get a general overview of the contents.
‘That’s right.’
Evan snorted.
The book analyzing Mayer analyzes how Mayer deals with dragons.
This is not a story about Mayer’s swordsmanship.
Well, you wouldn’t step on something taboo in a famous scholar’s family.
Still, one interesting thing is that Mayer’s achievements are summarized on the very back page.
After reading this, Evan learned that Mayer had fought with the dragon tribe elders.
‘Fatal injuries to two elders…’ ….’
Elder-level dragons are the strongest of the dragon clan except for Bashumu, who is right below Vashumu.
It is said that Mayer played with these in the world of imagination, which piques my interest.
I was about to have a discussion with Geomseong.
Tap!
Evan closed the book loudly and placed it on the bookshelf.
It would be more accurate to ask Mayer rather than what is in the book.
After a while, Evan dropped Maya off and went to Meyer’s tile-roofed house.
