They didn’t even look alike down to their toes. ‘Damn, why does the story jump around like that!’ Suppressing his dizziness, Cleio barely managed to sit up. After bowing his head in gratitude to Isiel who had tended to him, he turned on 「Perception」 again. He examined Arthur closely with a completely new feeling. He thought he only needed to watch out for the 1st and 2nd princes, but even the protagonist, who was supposed to be righteous, had a dog-like twist. “Say that again,…

Cleio Asser, who registered property at seventeen (1) “No, even without using magic you’re not going to run away….” “Ah, you’re messing up my magic formula, so stay still, will you. ” formula lit up the room, enveloping Cleio and Dione. Behemoth absently watched the magic circle, scratching his belly with his back leg. “Eooooong, nyaek (They’re making a scene as if they’re debating national affairs or something).” Within the magic barrier, Dione shouted with a big,…

“Not getting up, Francis?” “Well, is it something to be proud of? Do I really have to stand and introduce myself?” His voice alone was grating. It was like his every word was laced with sarcasm. Cleio, sitting at the very back by the window, stretched his neck to find the owner of the voice. A gray-haired boy lounged back against his chair, not bothering to sit up straight. The boy’s appearance was a sight. His jacket was missing somewhere, several buttons of his waistcoat were…

Cleio Aser, who registered at age 17 (3) That was as far as Arthur went. Rosa effortlessly parried Arthur’s heavy attack. The missed strike hit the ground, carving a groove out of the solidified earth. Arthur, unable to control his own strength, also slipped and rolled on the dirt. Without a sound, Rosa’s sword touched Arthur’s nape. “Waaa!!!” “Waaa!!” “Ooooh!” The children and instructor, who had been watching the spar from a distance, cheered wildly. Rosa, who…

Cleio Aser, who registered at age 17 (4) “Such things happened a few times. When I was twelve, on the day a boy I didn’t know opened the door in the successor’s room that Ishiel used to use. Even though I saw him for the first time, his face looked familiar. The sickly child ghost that came out of Ishiel’s room looked exactly like that. The kid was Ishiel’s sixth cousin, and the ‘male’ heir that nobody wanted. What I saw wasn’t a ghost, it was just the future.” Arthur…

Cleio Aser, who registered at age 17 (5) The next afternoon, as Cleio was taking a nap after returning from his classics class, an uninvited guest woke him up. It was a hotel page sent by Katarina, Chel’s mother and a hotel entrepreneur. The page brought a sealed envelope. The envelope was made of thick paper and decorated with elegant patterns. The page himself was tall and wore the De Neige hotel chain’s uniform, not a wrinkle in sight. ‘She certainly is someone obsessed with…

For a man and woman sitting face-to-face in a cozy café, their conversation was extremely dry. Of course, the looks they gave each other were as affectionate as those between lovers. It was a happy alliance: one a possessor of information, the other someone who could convert information into money. Cleio, too, took a sip of the liquor left in his glass. The sharp sting of anise seemed to clear his sinuses completely. The strong green liquor they’d found at a shabby bar-cum-café in the…

By some stroke of luck, Cleio Aser saved the capital. He had tied the entrance of his subspace pouch too tightly, so he still could not retrieve the luminous stones. The beast, having missed its target, landed on the ground, then turned its body and targeted Cleio again with a growl. Clutching the pouch he was opening, Cleio dripped cold sweat. ‘What do I do? Uwaaaahh.’ The moment the wolf lowered its body to pounce, his mind went blank. Only one magic formula came to his mind: and…

I Woke Up and Became a National Hero (1) Behemoth meowed and perched neatly on Cleio’s knee. The weather had turned to autumn, chilly enough to make the cat feel like a cozy heater. Cleio, sluggishly leaning his back against the headboard, blinked his bleary eyes. As his vision finally cleared, what appeared before him was strange. Second floor, far left bedroom in the Aser estate. His familiar room was buried in splendid flower baskets. ‘What’s with all the flowers?’ Before he…

I Woke Up and Became a National Hero (2) No matter how close a battle for the nation’s fate might draw, Madam Canton’s painstakingly prepared afternoon tea was delicious. Puff choux filled with orange-scented custard, Victorian cake with jam and fresh cream, and tiny cucumber sandwiches—all were delicious enough to warrant admiration. Though simple in appearance, each one had rich flavor and excellent ingredients. Paired with bergamot-scented tea, it was a taste from heaven. Behemoth, not…

The Aser Family's Dinner (1) The source of the irritating sound was revealed. The sword had broken inside its scabbard. The practice sword could not withstand the load of ether.

The Asser Family’s Dinner (2) The dinner lasted for three full hours. It was the first formal dinner after reopening the capital mansion, and with Gideon visiting as well, the splendor of the table that day was beyond words. Concentrating on her plate with the mindset that she should eat well before all the business began, Clayeo couldn’t help but harbor reasonable doubts. ‘Does Mrs. Canton use magic, too? How did she prepare all this in just half a day without magic?’ Four servants…

Everything Is in Its Place Vasco Greyer stared back and forth between the sword and the boy with eyes blazing. “Will you let me handle that matter?” “If you would take it on, I’d be grateful.” “In return, I’d appreciate it if you helped restore magical tools occasionally when I’m away from the capital. I plan to depart for the Meridian continent again, and my niece keeps pestering me to restore the artifacts in the warehouse.” Clayeo smiled brightly. It was the reaction she…

Divinely Bestowed Kingship (1) All the luggage that everyone had helped carry in was left just as it was in the bedroom. The long box was at the very bottom. ‘Looks like the kids stacked things like this.’ “Arthur. See the longest box over there? On the floor.” “Yeah.” “Take that out for me.” “You called me over with so much meaning just to make me work….” “I’ll do it.” “No, Isiel. Just stay put.” Arthur knelt and easily moved the luggage aside,…

Divinely Bestowed Kingship (2) The Royal Advisory Committee was held in the best-viewed conference room in the House of Lords building. Though it shared only a wall with the crown prince’s office, the two rooms differed drastically in decor. The walls were hung with red silk and adorned with gold, and a large table was placed at the center of the meeting room. Along the broad sides of the oval table, there were ten committee seats per side, totaling twenty on both sides. The twenty Royal…

Gray Flames of Revolution (1) During the awarding ceremony, the gallery of the hall was empty. The only attendees were the Master of Ceremonies, the Royal Chamberlain, and a few attendants to assist with the ritual. It looked like this decoration too faced opposition from the House of Lords, but Melchior seemed to have forced it through using ‘his unique skill.’ The official notice said family could be invited, but Cleio did not call anyone. Gideon and Vlad had returned to Colpos, and the…

Gray Flames of Revolution (2) “A royal lapdog, yet all you’ve got is unnecessary perceptiveness.” Fran, who had abruptly stood up and slapped the magazine shut, barked as if he hadn’t just eaten two pieces of tart. “Yeah, yeah, lapdog or whatever. So what didn’t you like about the article that made you rewrite it?” “The editor called my argument ‘eclectic’ and changed it as he pleased. Without my consent… Anyway, why do you even care about that?” Clearly aggrieved by…

Field Trip (2) As soon as the banquet ended, Cleio hurried back to his room. Fran was already fast asleep under the covers. Cleio, too, lay down on his bed early in the evening. He felt at a loss as to how he could persuade Fran the next day to devise the Tiflaum activation formula and catalyst. His mind spun with all the information he’d learned about mana stones and Tiflaum in class since coming here. Mana stones and Tiflaum shared the trait of being able to retain ether even outside…

Field Trip (3) They could not use magic to move in the dark forest. Earlier, it was because they didn't know, but wandering in the middle of the night in a forest where a knife-wielding thug was waiting was not the right thing to do. ‘Magic is so convenient and good, but I didn’t expect the inability to hide its light would be such a big drawback.’ In the previous manuscript, magic was only for healing or research, so the light it emitted was not a problem at all. ‘A wizard who takes…
