154 The ‘second one’ jerked her head up. ‘Mana.’ It was faint, but this was clearly a mage’s presence. Narrowing her eyes, she spotted a small party taking place near the large lake in the distance. ‘Is the seventh one over there?’ She hurried her steps. Just then— “Excuse me.” A youthful voice sounded from behind. “That way isn’t toward the library, you know.” “……” Turning slowly, she found herself face to face with a boy whose…

Episode 155 Delcan Ruins, underground. “Damn it!” The Mage King panted heavily, unleashing a surge of magic power. The fortress, tangled like a complex ant nest, quaked with a resounding crash. “Calm down, please. If it collapses at this rate…” “This isn’t all of it?” The great inner chamber of the underground ruin. When the mass of Dark Beasts filling the space was cleared away, a magic circle drawn in blood was revealed, covering floor, walls, and…

Episode 156 Something… feels off. Crossing the Academy grounds, Rosetta Zevert thought to herself. In one hand, she held a speed magic device she’d slyly taken from Balok’s luggage some days before. Finding Ruby’s presentation is a hundred times more important than minding the house! Of course, of course. She had always wanted to be someone like a jack-in-the-box, a person full of surprises. She liked being a source of unexpected joy after a moment of heart-pounding…

Episode 157 My lips moved soundlessly, but no words would come out. “Zevert Duke…” The Second, who held me like a hostage, growled. “Let go of that hand.” My father's violet eyes flickered low. It was a terrifying expression I had never seen before. A dark, black aura surged out, a murderous intent so intense it stung my skin. Sensing danger instinctively, the high-ranking magical beast charged forward, breathing fire. “Dad…!” But before I could even finish my…

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…

Episode 159 That evening. “Huuuuhhng!” The unfamiliar sound of crying filled the parlor. ‘What should I do?’ My eyes rolled restlessly. It had been an overwhelming day. Meeting the Second for the second time wasn’t enough; I had even suffered an attack from the Mage King. Upon assessing the situation, the Emperor declared Arcadia an enemy, and carrier pigeons bearing this news soared in unison toward each of the allied nations. The Academy was nearly…

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 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…

162“First of all, it seems finding his way is a lost cause. He’s not himself right now. The magical beast destroyed his beloved natural history museum—he’s in the throes of utter chaos.” “Oh dear.” I couldn’t understand the trouble at all, but I furrowed my brow in a show of sympathy. In the end, as Liam drifted off in thought, heading toward the pond, Void finally grumbled, “For crying out loud!” and hurried off to fetch the eldest brother. “Little fairy… come…

Chapter 163 “So. What sneaky plans were you up to this time?” I blinked my eyes. Violet gaze was fixed on the parchment in my hand. “Ah…!” Right, Dad was here! ‘If Dad helps, I won’t have to be separated from Khalid!’ These days, Dad was happiest when I clung to him, asking for help! I quickly grabbed his hem and opened my mouth. “Dad, I, I nee—” See? That smooth smile curling upward in satisfaction. “Give me…

164 The day we returned home! For the last time, I went out in the capital with my older brothers, Khalid, and Grandfather, spending the day in town. Void, thoroughly addicted to shopping, swept up all sorts of knickknacks, including diaries, while Liam, of course, was buried in a bookstore. Grandfather raided the weapons shop, and Khalid, as always, watched disinterestedly as I browsed through things. “You know, it’s strange. I haven’t bought anything, yet why do I have the most…

Episode 165‘What does that mean?’ The chill in the air brushed against his cheek. Khalid, leaning against the window of the carriage, watched the fleeting scenery pass by, taking it in with quiet indifference. ‘The ancient royal palace…’ Traces of a far-distant past, now dismissed as myth or legend, were buried like treasure all across the continent. There were more yet to be discovered than had been found. The Delcan Ruins were one such case. ‘If I’m going to look for…

166 “Dad!” A familiar face appeared just as I was heading toward the lobby! It seemed he had just returned from the knights or somewhere; Dad was taking off his coat and handing it to the butler when he spotted me and frowned. I half-rolled, half-ran down the stairs. “How many times have I told you to take the stairs one step at a time—it’s dangerous.” His big hand tapped the round, dough-like bun of hair at the side of my head. “What’s this, who gave you cotton…

Episode 167 Leviathan stood dazed for a moment, then coughed awkwardly. "Uh, well, when you listen closely, it's kind of cute." "…You don’t have to make excuses to me." "…Don’t tell anyone. I'll sulk." "…All right." I grew curious as to what on earth could have been going on for such noises to be made. Heading out into the hallway, I checked out the window and let out a breathless, incredulous chuckle. "Ha ha ha!" Out on the hillside behind the barracks, Rubian was…

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…

Episode 169 Void was just as shocked. ‘She’s been hunted down all this time?’ Back when the Academy was half-destroyed by that incident,Rubian had been in grave danger. Realizing it only now, he shivered at the thought. Wasn’t he about to stand by helplessly and watch his precious little sister get hurt, completely unaware? Of course, Leviathan had told them not to worry. That the adults would deal with anything that threatened Rubian, so they should continue on as always. The…

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 171 Then, with a heave, I sat up, and our view flipped in an instant. “Really?” “Uh, uh, uh, no!” “I can’t tell if that’s a yes or no…” Khalid muttered, scratching the back of his head. For some reason I was suddenly overcome by embarrassment and bolted away as if fleeing across the training grounds. “Wait up! Didn’t you come here to see me?” Fifteen-year-old Kal… Had become more shameless than I could have imagined! Thump, thump, thump, thump.…

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…

173Chapter 19 On a pleasantly tranquil evening. “Oh, right.” Rosetta set down her spoon. Then she said, “I’m pregnant.” In that moment, Leviathan had to wonder if he had heard her correctly. Even though he’d been watching his wife all through dinner. He blinked slowly. “…What did you say?” No, but— Usually, when someone starts with “Oh, right,” they follow it with something much less important. For example, “Oh, right. I bought some clothes today.”…
