194 Several days passed. Next week at last would be my long-awaited coming-of-age ceremony! “Hm.” Wrapping myself tightly in a blanket and clutching a handful of warming stones, I was out at the training arena. ‘If the Mage King comes after me, how would he approach?’ There had been no particular word as yet from the princess, who was still staying at the imperial palace. I recalled recently accompanying Father to meet His Majesty the Emperor. “I had a hunch, but as…

Episode 193 ‘No, no, no.’ It wasn’t quite a crash and bang. It was just… just… “Wah, wah?” “What was that?” “Huh? No…!” I swallowed back my confusion. The sudden contact of our hands was driving me to madness. ‘Mother.’ It felt as if I were falling endlessly somewhere, spinning round and round. What am I going to do. ‘Right now…’ I might be on the verge of tumbling deeply into something. The next day. The procession…

192“Wow, you’re really big. I mean—” Rubian murmured, tugging at the oversized jacket. “It feels like I’m wearing Dad’s. But why did you come?” She sat on the large sofa and asked. Kal pulled over a blanket and wrapped it around her before finally allowing himself to breathe. “I didn’t think you’d be asleep.” “Ah… I’m busy.” Rubian glanced toward the table. It was cluttered with formulas and all manner of books. It didn’t look as if she had any…

Episode 191 A short while later. After hearing my whole story, Father stroked his chin and muttered. “So, the King of Kassalia is a traitor.” “Yes. But the princess says she’s on my side. She told me because she wants to help me.” “Hm.” Father fell silent for a moment. I sat beside him, nabbing a chocolate chip cookie from the table and popping it into my mouth. “What should we do? If we want to trust the princess completely, it’s best to watch her for a while, but…

190Khalid’s ears inexplicably burned, and he turned his head away. Rubian nudged him, saying, “What’s with you? I can feel your gaze boring a hole in my head,” then went on chatting with Sevelena. “It’s really fascinating. A failed love story.” “Just in time, our Academy’s graduation symposium is putting on a play about it!” That caught Khalid’s attention, and he interjected. “A play? Ruby… You’re in it?” Rubian was a member of Professor Yuliope’s ancient…

Episode 189 By the time we finished our conversation and left the café, it was late afternoon. Sevelena dashed off toward the square, eager to see more of the festival. Kal and I exchanged brief glances and followed after her. An arm-wrestling competition was in full swing in the square. “……” Amidst the hulking competitors, the foreign princess boldly threw down her gauntlet. And then… “Oh my, this is so much fun!” “Urgh!” Thud. She won. “The prize…

188“Huh?” “Your mana!” Rubian shouted sharply, rubbing the hand that had touched his and grimacing. “Why is it so heavy now? That scared me! Ah, it’s tingling…” “Sorry. Are you alright?” He quickly moved closer to Rubian. “Geez. Put your bracelet back on! Where’s the other one?” “That… I’m sorry, but I can’t. I’ll make sure it doesn’t hurt, so give me your hand again.” Khalid suppressed the surging power within him, refining his mana as soft…

187What the—! You said your back hurt! “It seems you’re a bit injured, so let me take you to the physician.” I felt the firm arm wrapping around me like a vine. The slight trembling—was it because… he was trying not to hurt me as he held me? “Pardon? Sir Khalid, you? But why? And you’re so talkative today? This is the first time I’ve heard you say more than three sentences!” No way. He’s always been a bit of a chatterbox. I thought this to myself as I gripped…

Episode 186 “Hey! Come on! I’m busy digging here!” I whirled around and shot a burst of magic at the thick hand reaching for me. “Wh-what, aghhh!” Thump! The thugs, reeking of alcohol, went crashing into the pile of crates that filled the alley. Oops. I mustn’t let it show that I’m a mage. At last, it was time to use the fancy bow I’d been carrying on my back. “Magical device, fire!” I rattled off the skill’s name and shot an arrow carelessly. The crooked…

Episode 185 It was because, from afar, Khalid suddenly pulled the princess into his arms, shielding her tenderly, and gently drew her hood over her head. Tenderly! Like a cockroach faced with a human, I darted behind a decoration and hid once more. Thump, thump. My heart raced. And then, just as the princess was about to take another step, Khalid quickly bent down and meticulously tied her shoelaces. Was that all? When the princess’s handkerchief soared away, fluttering in the…

184No, but seriously—how could my dad call Khalid’s future girlfriend a dog-bone? “In any case, absolutely not. I… strongly oppose it.” Not just oppose, but strongly oppose—what does that even mean? “Khalid has to become the greatest knight in the world. To do that, romance? Absolutely forbidden.” “But Dad, you’re a great knight, and you still fell in love and got married.” “I’m your father. That’s different.” “What kind of logic is that…” “It’s…

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…

182 The next day. After taking medicine prescribed by Borvel, the renowned physician of the North, I made a splendid recovery! “Ha! Ha!” I spun around the training ground, feeling energy surge through my body like it hadn’t in ages. Dad didn’t seem too pleased about it, but thankfully, Borvel and Mom had convinced him that a little exercise was necessary. ‘I can breeze through the Grand Training Ground now!’ “Um-hahaha.” With a refreshed face, I wiped the sweat…

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…

Episode 180 Leviathan was listening to Leon’s report in the knights’ headquarters. Once again, there had been sightings of a small pack of magical beasts. “This time, it’s in the eastern Hedden region of the capital. Fortunately, Yujen happened to be nearby, so he headed there immediately.” “On his way back… You've all had it tough.” “There aren’t many of them, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. So…” Leon, who had been delivering his formal report with a stony…

Episode 179 I left the archives and took a light stroll through the palace gardens with Licht. Perhaps because I’d been buried in documents for so long, I suddenly felt dizzy. “Just looking at all those letters makes me feel like I’m going to be sick.” But a breath of cold air quickly cleared my head. In the distance, I saw the children of noble families who had come to the palace with their parents, each claiming a greenhouse to themselves and enjoying teatime. My eyes…

178 When I turned around, I found a pretty face with dazzling blonde hair, wearing a gentle smile. “Licht…! Your Highness!” Since we were at the imperial palace, I made sure to address him with care. Licht laughed aloud and placed the book in my hand. “Yes, Lady Rubian.” He replied playfully, then leaned in close and whispered quietly. “There’s no one else here right now.” His cotton-candy-soft blond hair lightly brushed my cheek as he moved past me. “Oh.” So…

177Click. Clack. Khalid, out of habit, loosened and fastened the golden ringed bracelet on one wrist as he walked slowly forward. “That monster bastard…” Allen, in a hurry, pulled a waterproof sheet from his breast pocket and wrapped it around his shoes, muttering under his breath. Allied Forces? They can go to the dogs. This battle was nothing more or less than a hunting ground for that brat’s rapid growth. While Khalid single-handedly cut down a hundred magical beasts, the…

Episode 176 Khalid had achieved remarkable feats during this time. He became the vanguard of a large-scale magical beast subjugation force at the border where the Kingdom of Kasalia met the nations of the Western Continent. In truth, he’d set out to find Rubian’s magic stele, but the location happened to be right at the heart of a massive magical beast habitat, so he volunteered to lead the subjugation. The Babylon Empire, acting on moral grounds, provided military support, and soon a…

Episode 175 The mark, imbued with blue mana, was the same size as when I was a child. A spell that froze time itself had been cast upon it. “Whew.” I know it’s the only part of my body that’s ceased to grow, but every time I see it, I feel inexplicably tense. After all, who knows when my magic might break and it would start growing again? “More importantly…” I’m about to turn eighteen. Moved, I gazed at my reflection in the mirror. A round-faced girl with blue eyes…
