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…

Episode 240 “Wait, wait, waaaaaait! Kal! Let her go!” No sooner had I shouted than Kal swiftly withdrew his sword. “Elder!” “Cough, cough. Everyone… do not, under any circumstances, resist.” Clutching her throat, the woman quelled the clamor with a cold command, staggering upright as she regarded me with incredulity. “H-how are you here?” “That’s exactly what I want to ask you.” “……” “As a palace elder and one of the Mage King's confidants, what…

Episode 241 A dark chapel. I sat absent-mindedly, gazing up at the statue of the goddess. Moonlight streamed through the broken window, casting a white beam across the goddess’s face. For some reason, it felt both sacred and not quite sacred at the same time. “It feels different from the one I saw at church during the Green Festival prayer service.” Maybe it’s because this one is much bigger. Then again, the faces of gods are always drawn however humans imagine them, aren’t…

242His tone was flat, his expression impassive, yet somehow it all felt like a threat. The man brushed back Rubian’s hair with the utmost care, as though handling a glass doll, and gazed quietly down at her sleeping face. It was a scene of perfect stillness, but within that tableau, Ideline perceived an emotional tempest more turbulent than ever before. Ah, that look. 'That’s the face of someone completely smitten.' And it seemed he was well-practiced at holding those feelings…

Episode 243 Ch. 25 Royal Capital, Arcadia Palace. “So this is what it was.” The Mage King cried out, awash with ecstasy. “This was it!” Inside the dark laboratory. He embraced the blood-soaked corpses of the mages without a hint of concern. “Prepare the test subjects. I need to run one last confirmation!” The experiment involved injecting blood extracted from dark beasts into mages—a procedure originally conducted by the “First,” but now taken over by the Mage…

244“Have the residents been evacuated?” In response to the Emperor’s question, the captain of the knights answered with unwavering loyalty. “We’ve finished evacuating everyone in the southwestern area where we anticipate the fighting will take place. The barrier magical devices for the city walls, developed by the capital’s outpost mages led by Asha Drucan, are also operational.” Barrier magical devices. The Emperor recalled the appearance of those contraptions, the likes of which…
