Episode 220 Kal furrowed his brow, tilting his head. What was that supposed to mean? Wasn’t he planning to head to the Mage Kingdom without Ruby? “Don’t check on anything ahead of time. Just… just stay where you are.” “I’m not sure what you mean, sir.” “I just can’t let her handle all this alone…” At that moment, a short tremor ran from deeper within the cave. “Duke?” Shiiiiing. Boom! A hollow roar echoed down the stone walls. There must have been a…

Episode 221 Khalid stared impassively at the blocked cave exit. “They’re taking too long.” Leon muttered at his side. They had questioned the villagers nearby and managed to find this alternate exit from the cliffside cave. The problem was that this exit, too, was blocked by rocks—perhaps due to the earlier explosion. They were running out of options. “Hurry up!” At Leon’s shout, the Zevert knights rushed to carry away rocks and stones. Kal gripped the reins…

Episode 222 The first thing to change was the air on the tip of my nose. It was somehow humid and warm—the distinctive scent of the South. ‘Ugh, my magic…’ It was completely depleted. Though the tingling southern mana clung to my whole body, it wasn’t nearly enough. I swallowed hard, feeling truly nauseous, and just as I tried to open my tightly shut eyes— “Ruby.” A large, familiar form filled my vision. Strong arms wrapped firmly around my back, and a wave of mana…

Episode 223 "Ugh, it's so cramped." I crawled into the cave, inching my way through the gap between the rocks. I was the only one who could squeeze through the narrow passageway. Of course, I faced opposition from Kal and the rest of my family, but this time, I couldn't concede. "There's no way someone like Father could have been defeated by mere magical beasts. There must be another reason." "But still!" "If he's hurt and unable to get out, we have to rescue him quickly. Is there…

Episode 224 Ruby turned five years old. “I hate you!” At the sound of a loud voice from the playroom, Leviathan hurried in. A piercing wail quickly followed. “Waaaaah!” “Sortie, miss!” He was in the middle of a conversation with the count in the Camellan estate’s drawing room when a maid appeared, looking troubled. “Oh dear, it seems the princess is in a poor mood. She was playing nicely, but suddenly she pushed the young miss…

Episode 225 I squeezed my eyes shut. ‘What do I do? This is my limit.’ Creak, clang! Kaang! Assaults came ceaselessly. My blue shield cracked and mended, only to crack again. I tried to gauge the magic I had left. Should I call for Khalid? ‘No.’ I clung tighter to the hand of my father, clasped in one of mine. ‘My father is right beside me!’ I poured even more of my power into the magic flowing into him. It was to drive out the illusion, but as for what…

Episode 226 Whew, Dad sighed again. At this rate, the whole southern land might sink today. “If you checked the grave… Rosé must have been beside herself.” “Mm…” Since I couldn’t even begin to imagine how Mom must have felt, I held back from saying anything more. After that, Dad told me about the Mage King’s letter. He said that after seeing the empty potion bottle at the lakeside, he’d had a nagging feeling. When the Mage King’s letter arrived, he instinctively…

Episode 227 From the moment the false father was sent away—or no, from the moment the Kingdom of Kasalia released something like a potion to verify parentage into the world— The Mage King had foreseen this situation together with the “first one.” There were several possible scenarios. If the false father managed to deceive Rubian and bring her to the Mage Kingdom, that would have been the fastest and easiest way. ‘But as long as Leviathan stands his ground, it won’t be so…

228The young lady gave an awkward laugh. “Um, sorry once again. This may seem a bit much, but we’ve just barely come through a family crisis.” “……” “We’ll probably have to stay all bunched up for a while. Separation anxiety is at its peak…” “Ah.” Mariel’s eyes went dark. The ducal house must be suffering from some dreadful plague. It wasn’t exactly surprising. After all… they were always that sort of people. “Well, then, pardon us,…

Episode 229 But this time, Mother's hand gently rose. "I’m absolutely against it, too." "Sorry, Rub. I’m opposed as well." "…Excuse me, but what is this conversation? Who’s the real daughter here?" Liam seemed to mutter something, pale and aghast, but I couldn't hear him over my shock at my family's reactions. "What the—why! Why are you against it!" "Because it’s obviously a trap." Father, arms crossed and one leg slung over the other, calmly assessed the…

Episode 230 “Hm.” Borrowing Liam’s glasses, I transformed into a rigorous, meticulous examiner. “Experience is precisely one of the crucial qualities I lack. I’ll take that into consideration.” A small cough sounded at my side. It was Mother, who had been linked arm-in-arm with me the whole time. “Ruby, as for your mother…” “Hing. Motherrr… Full marks for emotional appeal.” A mother is a blessing just by her presence. Her gentle hand stroked my hair, and her…

Episode 231“……!” “You said you were searching for a route to the Mage Kingdom, didn’t you? This was created long ago when a problem arose with the southern portal. Though the portal was repaired before it could be completed, and thus it was never used… Having this will allow you to move forward without losing your way, disoriented by the Mage Kingdom’s barrier…” The mage hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head deeply. The hand gripping his staff trembled faintly. “I’m…

232 Freed from their restraints, the children began speaking at once, as if they had been waiting for this moment. “In Arcadia, there are screams every day, every single day. The royal mages just snatch people up and use them as test subjects. As sacrifices to summon dark magic, just, just…!” “There are lots of children our age in the kingdom. They say they're forcing people to marry just to increase the number of mages. So, while the number of mages has increased compared to before,…

Episode 233 An expedition to the Mage Kingdom. Two days remaining. Marchioness Mariel Weber paused as she entered the banquet hall. The atmosphere in the hall was sharply divided. One side of the Zevert family looked as if they were in mourning, dark and somber; the other side was already suffused with jubilation, as if they had received news of victory. ‘What’s this? Did they have a fight?’ ‘Surely not.’ As the marchioness exchanged furtive glances with her attendant,…

234Benjamin was silent for a moment. There was no need or reason to persist in stubbornness any longer. “…The coordinates the Mage King gave me were indeed for the northern part of Arcadia.” He spoke in a strained, almost groaning voice. “You were right about everything, Princess. He’s trying to use this old man to set a trap for you.” “…” “The moment your ship lands in north Arcadia, the Mage King will try to control you through the crest. Or perhaps his ‘First’ is…

Episode 235 "Senia!" "Ah!" A woman shot out like an arrow, swept Sebelena into her arms, and rolled across the floor. "Uh…?" "I was just about to go see you!" "W-wait? Senia? Sister?" Sebelena stared blankly at the gaunt woman sprawled atop her. Though her face was still sickly, her eyes sparkled with vitality. 'What is this? Some kind of magical manipulation?' No, that can't be. Senia no longer has the power left in her body to do something like that. "How… did this…

236Knights busily moved about the deck. I stood at the prow, gazing for a moment at the blue expanse of the sea. The weather was wonderfully clear, the waves tranquil. Strangely, I felt a sense of calm. There was no fear at all. Perhaps it was because my father was with me. 'Alright, when all this is over, I’ll have to go boating with my family.' Something like a luxury cruise! 'Please, let that day come!' With that earnest prayer, the ship cut smoothly across the azure sea. Thanks…

Episode 237 “Are you insane?” He ground his teeth in open defiance of the voice in his head. The intention behind the voice that tormented him was clear. An unseemly, shameless desire laid bare: to satisfy itself, even if it meant making the person before him miserable and wretched. Khalid pressed down again on the dark mana that threatened to devour his own. ‘This power… It might be connected to the wording on that shackle—‘For my King.’’ The thought struck him…

238I appeared behind Father. “Amazing, isn’t it?” Pop. This time, right next to Khalid. “Wahahahaha!” Next, directly in front of Licht as he buckled his sword! On top of Brother Liam’s back as he poked through beach debris! “Isn’t it amaaazing? Impressive, right? Huh?” Yahoo! Yahoo, yahoo! The moment I arrived on the southern shore of Arcadia, I began teleporting wildly, casting spells like mad. Teleportation magic was high-level, but any mana I used quickly…

Episode 239 “I feel a strange gaze on us.” With narrowed eyes and a sharp look on his face, Father scanned the surroundings. “For now… we should hurry.” Liam tightened his grip around my shoulders, drawing me deeper into his embrace. The sanctuary was lined with several antechambers. Passing closed prayer rooms and meditation chambers, I arrived at the large central nave. “……” Behind the altar on the podium stood a magnificent statue of the goddess. Quickly, I…
