Episode 158 “Leviathan Zevert…!” Suddenly, blood burst from the Second’s mouth. The Mage King poured his own magic into him with wild abandon, and it seemed the body could no longer endure. Ominous magic surged. The hair on the back of my neck bristled. Something crashed against the earth, followed by an immense roar and a piercing, ear-splitting scream. Boom! With an explosive sound, dry leaves whirled up like a whirlwind. Mother curled her body around me to shield…

170Sorry for acting like I didn’t want to be your heir, Dad. It’s not that I really don’t want to—it’s just that I don’t especially want to! But if it puts you in a tough spot with His Majesty, I can do it. I don’t know if I’ll do a good job, but I’ll try. (But you said I could change my mind later, right?) Anyway, that's the conclusion. If you ever need my help, just say the word! I’m a Zevert, too! The last sentence was written in tiny letters, as if she were…

Episode 144 “Your Excellency?” “Tie him up for now. The mages are on the move.” In the distance, mages were burning the corpses of Dark Beasts. “They might have sensed something. We should withdraw for now.” The blue-haired knight spoke calmly, but Leviathan did not budge. At that moment, a chill dashed down Allen’s spine. The duke’s previously languid and careless expression had vanished; the face glimpsed from the side was as fearsome as a demon. “…Your…

116“A… portrait?” His sharp eyes narrowed slightly. Regardless, I strode straight up to the artist Mister, who was sketching portraits beneath a tent, and greeted him brightly. “Hello!” “Oh my, such adorable visitors… Miss?” “Oh, do you know me?” “Of course, of course! I often come to the manor to restore the murals. I’ve seen you a few times from afar.” “Oh, really?” I thought I was disguised well enough, but somehow he recognized me. The artist…

Episode 172 “Oh, then Ruby, you should have a birthday party in the capital too. No way we’re losing to the emperor’s son.” “But, but he’s royalty… Wait, if I did have a party, would anyone even come?” “No one?” “Hm… Let me see. Titi, Jerdin, Licht, Olivia, um, and…” What sort of people will you meet? What kind of adult will you grow up to be? Leviathan looked down at Rubian, who was counting off names on her fingers with delight, feeling both anticipation and…

126Haben’s sharp gaze was fixed on my shoes. I looked down at my brown leather shoes. They were the first gift my mother ever gave me—famous for their craftsman, too—but I’d worn them running about from spring to summer, so by now they were a little worn out. Besides, they were boys’ shoes, so they looked rather sturdy and plain. ‘I do have dress shoes in my trunk…’ But I wanted to keep wearing these no matter what. ‘My feet are growing so fast!’ It meant the day…

Episode 99 The boy, Licht Babylon, was running. “Huff, huff!” His hair and clothes, meticulously prepared for the banquet, were now a complete mess. But that was the least of his concerns. His older brothers’ snickering voices echoed in his ears. “So the Emperor has finally brought in a tracking mage.” “I heard that mage wants to confirm something with the children. Is that why the banquet hall is set apart?” “Well, obviously. If the nobles caught wind, they’d…

Episode 183 “The Kasalia procession turned toward a village near the border? Not the main gate?” As I hurriedly packed my things, I jerked my head up. “Yes. It seems the princess suddenly said she wanted to see the village festival.” Pushing my bag aside and sitting before the mirror, Hazel gathered my hair up and wound it deftly as she spoke. “Festival?” “You know, that modest winter festival they hold near the Babylon border village.” “Ah…” The maid’s…

Episode 143 “Wow! The old library is amazing!” I stretched out both arms and exclaimed excitedly. To be honest, I was quite used to this place by now, so there was nothing particularly surprising about it… Let’s do well, Rubian! “Ahem, ahem. The bookshelves are a bit chaotic, aren’t they?” Euliope replied in a subtly excited voice while uncorking a fatigue recovery potion. She seemed quite pleased with my enthusiastic reaction. “Yes! It’s like a maze!” “Be…

Episode 111 Leviathan sat alone in his office. Rubian had been taken away by Rosetta, who said she would put her to bed, and all the servants had been dismissed. He leaned back in his chair and tilted his head. A sigh escaped him. ‘Was it really just my imagination…?’ Earlier, in that garden, Leviathan thought he’d sensed a strange trace of power from Rubian… or so he believed. Of course, for a non-mage to sense magic was impossible. But he, too, had surpassed the limits…

Episode 181 Seriously, did they really have to contact Dad too…? “What on earth is going on here?” “I’m fine…” “I heard you had a massive nosebleed in the middle of the Imperial Palace.” Huh? Maybe the rumors are a bit exaggerated. “…? Who said that? It was just one nostril. Barely.” I pressed my index finger and thumb together to emphasize just how little, but it seemed that Dad’s ears weren’t listening at all. “Borvel.” Dad dropped whatever…

128We crept along quietly, Khalid leading the way with me following close behind. For a moment, it felt as if we’d slipped back into the past. There had been times before when the two of us moved about secretly just like this… ‘Although back then, the circumstances were much harsher.’ Just then— From outside the door came the sound of the attendant’s polite clearing of his throat. As we moved silently between the bookshelves, Khalid halted abruptly—and lost in thought, I walked…

Episode 160Ch. 17 “….” I awoke beneath the bright sunlight. Blinking, blinking. A strange ceiling came into view. What’s this? Where am I? Ah, the Duke’s residence in the capital…. ‘Oh.’ Into my dazed mind, memories surged over me like the tide. Yesterday… Yesterday, truly, something incredible happened! ‘I confessed everything.’ The fact I’m a mage—my entire past! ‘Life really never goes as planned….’ Once again, I was struck by that…

Episode 121 Magic cast with malice leaves a trace that lingers for a long time. Just as Allen had said, the reason this place felt especially eerie was that malice clung to the space itself like a stain. ‘Magic so thickly saturated with malice…’ Khalid exhaled in short, sharp breaths. ‘It’s not mine.’ Only then did the strength drain from his body. He sank back, slumping to the ground. “That’s a relief…” “What’s this? What’s wrong with you?” He…

130Licht pretended not to hear and stepped closer to look down at Khalid. He seemed to have grown into an even more infuriatingly smug face over the summer. “Hello?” “Does this look like a time for pleasantries to you?” “Well, close enough. More importantly… Rubian is at the Academy, right?” “I don't see any reason I should answer—” “There is.” The elegantly curved eyes of the prince were thoroughly annoying. Khalid gave a short, derisive laugh and turned his…

Episode 127 Apparently, my foot had barely grazed the tip of his shoe. “Ah, sorry.” “Ah, sorry? Soooorry?” Havelus seized upon my words and began to draw them out. “You think just apologizing is enough after stepping on a noble’s shoe? Do you have any idea how much these shoes cost?!” “…Um? Well, I apologized, didn’t I? What else am I supposed to say?” I asked in genuine curiosity. And really, it wasn’t even as if I’d properly stepped on his foot—why was he…

Episode 161 "Otherwise, I was about to die, but there was nothing I could do." "Ah, yes." "If it hadn’t been for my father hurrying back from the capital, I probably would have cleared out two more habitats nearby…" "But what does that have to do with this?" At that, Leviathan burst out laughing. "I’m telling you I had a very miserable childhood, you punk." "…?" Their eyes met. "No adult wants to pass on misery to a child." Those words made him pause and think. Had…

168"Come on, you know! Mages sent as outpost mages are just dregs—so worthless the Kingdom doesn’t even bother treating them like bugs!" Well, she wasn’t wrong. And apparently, there were quite a few outpost mages across the continent who thought as Asha did. Some of them did go back, but the majority remained here. "The Mage King isn’t going to waste magical power trying to control kids like us. He’d sooner just wipe us out all at once…" "Jeez, why are you so scary…" "It's…

Chapter 147 The first thing to catch the eye was her jet-black hair. “Ugh, the one who looked exactly like me has gone and turned just like Leviathan…” How indignant I was the first time I saw it! “What is this! Get out of my way! I’m going to dye my hair too! I took a certain pride in having the same color as my youngest one!” “Waaah, Grandpa, you have white hair! I have silver!” “What’s the difference?” “It’s different! It’s definitely…

Episode 98 “There’s a seat prepared for you over there.” I peeked toward the maid’s outstretched hand. At the round table, my brothers and Khalid sat with unashamed faces. When had they escaped all the way over there? “You left me behind!” As I grasped my skirt, preparing to stomp over, a few girls grabbed my arm. “Ah, would you mind sitting with us…?” “Sorry. I promised to sit with my brothers…” “Oh, I see. That’s too bad… Oh!” At that moment, the…
