Chapter 610 – Chapter 610 Magic School Shutra (4)
After the day, I accelerated a little more toward Levin.
However, our wagons outnumbered Count Potts’ group by far.
Since the speed difference could not be reduced, of course it was impossible to catch up.
It was just a struggle in an urgent position.
As we moved like that, it became night again, and we camped out in a suitable place.
I again asked Karin to let no one enter.
“Please.”
Karin, who had been quiet until yesterday, asked with a meaningful expression on her face.
“Are you training inside?”
“It is similar. It’s difficult training if you get in the way….”
“… I see. Then, if you need anything, call me.”
Karin put on an uncharacteristically sad expression as she walked out of the tent.
It was probably mistaken for me to think that I was doing a lot of magic training.
Since you let me learn magic, you must have something bigger….
‘Well, there is a magic circle that draws with thought.’
A secret that only Luna and I know.
It seemed that the day he would tell Karin about that fact would never come.
It was shown to Luna by mistake in the first place….
As I was looking at Karin like that, I heard Kang Han Na’s voice.
[Shiho is waiting. Let’s go quickly.]
‘Yes. Armonia, warp me.’
[I will operate the warp today. Please ask me.]
‘… Yes?’
For a moment I wondered what I had been told.
However, it was Armonia, not Kang Han Na, who answered my question.
[In preparation for emergencies, we have recently been officially informed of how to use Warp.]
Along with the use of Enel, Warp was one of Armonia’s unique offices.
It was a story that he informed Kang Han Na of one of those authorities.
[I think I’ve learned how to use it, so I’m going to let it operate under my observation for a while.]
‘Uh… Joe, great! Great!’
My voice trembled involuntarily.
I believe in Kang Han-na, but the warp that Kang Han-na works on….
When I answered with a trembling voice, Kang Han-na grumbled disapprovingly.
[Could I make a mistake?]
‘No. Absolutely. Is it good?’
[Is your voice trembling with anxiety?]
Are you too tired?
But what can I do?
In my heart, only I know
‘It’s not anxiety, it’s called anticipation.’
[It will work for now. It’s the first time….]
‘… ?’
As I waited for my strong words with her questioning expression, the light in front of her eyes enveloped me, and at the same time I heard my strong voice.
[Because it can be dizzy. I’ll give you motion sickness medicine when I arrive.]
‘….’
I held onto my chest with one hand and prayed while looking at the warp pillar of light.
..
..
Impressions as soon as I arrived.
‘… How much does Enel cost for motion sickness?’
[Do you need it?]
Behind Armonia’s lines, Kang Han Na’s voice filled with worries came.
[Uh… ? Are you really sick?]
‘No. Just joke.’
[Ha… I’ll make it more serious later.]
I smiled at my strong, low-pitched voice and looked around her.
It was dark, but it was a familiar place.
It was the Brandrup family’s annex, and it was where I stayed as a guest room.
‘Because no one is living in the annex right now. No one will stop by at this hour, right?’
[According to Shiho’s confirmation, no one stopped by today.]
If he hadn’t come during the day, he probably wouldn’t have come in the evening either.
In other words, this meant that this was the perfect place for me to write [Ghost Time].
Let me carefully lie down in bed and use the [Ghost time]….
(Brother! You’re here!)
At the same time, Shiho appeared and greeted me.
I said while hugging Shiho in a spirited state.
(Thanks for your help.)
(Ah, thank you… I rather like seeing a lot of strange things, right?)
There was only one reason why Shiho was waiting in Levin in advance.
It was to figure out the structure of Levin’s castle in advance.
While walking around Atler Castle, I realized that it was not usually difficult to walk around a large place at night and identify people.
This time, in order to prevent such a waste of time in advance, Shiho was warped to Levin in the morning to learn the structure of the castle.
As I stroked Shiho’s fluttering fox ears, Kang Han Na’s voice came over the phone.
[The structure of the castle was all drawn in blueprints.]
Moreover, what we found out was not just a general drawing of the royal castle.
Right away….
[Because it is a royal castle, there is a secret passage.]
It was the existence of a secret passage.
There were even quite a few secret passages across a few levels.
[Seeing that some places are not maintained at all, it seems that there are quite a few forgotten places.]
‘For a moment….’
The fact that there were many secret passages meant that it would be easier for me to infiltrate.
And to make it so easy to infiltrate….
‘There’s no need to go into a spirit state.’
Going to the spirit state is safe in many ways.
The original plan was to spy with the soul….
However, there are many secret passages… I wondered if I could go with my original body.
[Not bad. There are many magic traps in the castle, but… There were no special traps in the secret passage.]
Actually, it was a natural story.
The secret passage in the royal castle is a facility made for the escape of royal family personnel.
If a trap is set in such a facility, an absurd situation could arise in which members of the royal family who do not know magic could get caught and die.
‘Great. It might be a bit annoying, but….’
I decided to look at myself lying on the bed.
‘Let’s infiltrate it ourselves.’
..
..
I laughed as I walked down the long aisle with lots of moss around it.
‘This is funny.’
It was a very ironic situation.
Speaking of secret passages, when the people of the royal family were in danger, it was an important facility made for escape.
However, such an important facility was rather turned into a passage through which outsiders could easily enter and exit.
I heard Armonia’s voice.
[It must have been made during a war in the past, and it is highly likely that those who knew about this place died without telling future generations.]
‘But… Looking at the condition, it doesn’t seem like it’s been neglected for several years.’
By the way, the exit of the secret passage I was passing through was completely buried in a pile of dirt.
Who would have thought there was a secret passage in such a place?
Even the exit collapsed, so digging it out with a shovel seemed like a no-brainer.
In the end, I had to dig up the soil using persistence magic.
Hehe, I’m looking forward to it~’
As I moved through the aisle with a smile on my face, I heard Kang Han-na’s sharp voice.
[Because it’s really sinister.]
Haha….’
The reason I was called sneaky was because of the room at the end of the aisle.
I could have used another passage, but the reason I forced myself into this passage was simple.
The aisle I’m walking through….
‘It’s because I’m curious about the princess’s face. The face….’
[Huh….]
It was because it was on the way to the residence of Princess Iris.
To be honest, the time has come to see the real face.
The only time I saw Princess Iris’s face was in Count Potts’ dream.
In addition, Princess Iris, whom she had seen in her dream, was exuding the force of a real villainess as shown in the temperament window.
But even after seeing such a scene, I didn’t feel Iris as a threat.
‘It’s just a style to be angry, let loose, and be extravagant as you feel….’
It is true that she is a villainess, but she is just a villainess who enjoys the life of a princess without any political power or calculations.
There was no reason to feel threatened by such a woman.
But at the same time, I was also angry.
‘Because of that year….’
Iris Levin was not the woman who led the Stadtfeld extermination.
That doesn’t mean that there is no responsibility at all.
‘No… If that bitch hadn’t made fun of her mouth, it might not have happened at all.’
As I guessed in my own words, I heard Armonia’s voice.
[Could you please tell me exactly?]
‘Ah… Didn’t you speak properly yesterday?’
It was only now that I remembered what I hadn’t been able to explain to Armonia and Kang Han Na in detail thanks to the beggarly scene I saw in Count Potts’ dream yesterday.
There is no need to mention the beggarly scene, but I felt sorry for not being able to talk about the incident that happened after that.
Kang Han Na saw me like that and grumbled.
[… We should have been able to ask because he looked so bloody yesterday.]
Haha… Sorry. I’ll tell you.’
Count Potts had worked hard to connect with the Stadtfeld family in the past.
However, not only Jurgen, but all the people of the Stadtfeld family were more than negative about being connected with the Potts family.
After Count Potts decided that the direct method would not work, he eventually contacted Iris.
And starting with Princess Iris, she met other nobles and spread rumors about the Stadtfeld family.
‘The rumors that Count Potts spread were doubts about the Stadtfeld family’s loyalty to the royal family.’
[Ah….]
Count Potts began to undermine the authenticity of the Stadtfeld family, aiming for Jurgen’s lack of interest in politics.
Jurgen has no loyalty to Levin’s kingdom….
Rumors began to weaken the influence of the Stadtfeld family.
And Count Potts, of course, had no intention of blaming him for treachery.
He was just trying to force the Stadtfeld family into a corner and help them.
But the problem exploded.
‘The words Princess Iris gave to her first prince became the source of trouble.’
[… ?]
‘The problem was that I didn’t convey exactly what Count Potts said, but exaggerated it.’
[Ah….]
Princess Iris was not a smart woman like Luna or Karin.
The young Princess Iris had misunderstood the story she had been told by Count Potts, and she exaggerated it and passed it on to the First Prince.
[By the way, did the situation come to this with just Princess Iris’s words?]
‘There’s one more.’
[… ?]
‘The fact that the Stadtfeld family was on the side of the second prince.’
[… Oh My God.]
Count Potts made a small snowball called a sense of crisis to coax Stadtfeld.
Princess Iris hated Luna, so she rolled her sense of crisis into her snowfield.
Prince 1 created a landslide by taking advantage of the sense of danger of such a rolling small mass.
The combination of these three fucking things made the family founded by Levin’s war hero fall in an instant.
Kang Han Na muttered softly.
[… The more you know about the world, the scarier it is.]
I agreed with Kang Han Na’s words.
What would I be like if I didn’t know the inside story of the fall of Stadtfeld?
He must have just felt sorry for Luna.
Maybe she thought that maybe she really was plotting a traitor.
But now… I started to get scared.
What I was afraid of was not the fear of getting to know the world.
Right away….
‘How should I tell Luna….’
When Luna heard all the facts, she was terrified of how she would take them.
Luna was confident that if she was hurt, she would heal her, and if she wanted to, she would always be by her side.
However… I couldn’t even fix my broken heart.
Just as I was so worried, I heard Armonia’s soft voice.
[I don’t think you need to worry too much about that.]
Armonia raised its voice as if to comfort me.
[You just have to trust the woman Suho is in love with, Luna Stadtfeld. That’s enough.]
‘Is it so… ?’
[Not a weak woman, she will stand up in no time.]
I smiled spontaneously at Armonia’s comforting voice.
But in that situation, I heard something that shocked me.
[Wow… Are you laughing?]
‘… Me?’
At first I thought he was talking to me.
By the way….
[No. Mr. Armonia. You’re expressionless every time… I thought you hated laughing.]
‘What!!!’
[Kyaaak! Blink! Why are you shouting!]
I ignored Kang Han Na’s reaction and shouted at Armonia.
‘Armonia! Did you laugh!?’
[… I didn’t laugh.]
‘No, you laughed just now!’
[It is an illusion.]
It wouldn’t be an illusion either. It was concluded that it was an illusion.
Then Kang Han Na’s crawling voice flowed into my head.
[I… Did I make a mistake?]
[….]
Although invisible, a strange current flowed between the two.
Perhaps Armonia is looking at Han Han Na with all her heart… No, she seemed to be staring.
Then I heard Armonia’s voice.
[There seems to be a lot of chatter during missions lately. From now on, Kang Han Na’s right to speak will be removed. Please speak only when warp is active.]
[Yes….]
That’s how I couldn’t hear operator Kang Han Na’s voice.
First of all, Kang Han-na thought that she could solve it later, and she shouted to Armonia.
‘Armonia! Show me! Show me a smile too!’
[I said it before, but it’s an illusion.]
‘Do not lie to me!’
[Please focus on your mission.]
‘It’s a straight passage anyway, so there’s nothing to focus on! Hurry!!’
In spite of my efforts, the same words came out of Armonia’s mouth.
[It is an illusion.]
‘….’
She realized that it was no use to her to say any more.
When I return to the ship later, I will somehow see you smile.
I made that resolution and walked the aisle endlessly.
And as I walked, I was able to face a wall that was blocked at the end.
And Shiho’s voice was heard.
(Brother. The woman across from here is sleeping.)
***
Rocking, rocking….
“Ugh… ?”
Iris started tossing and turning at the sudden touch she felt on her chest.
But her efforts to toss and turn….
“Ew!?”
Due to the bound limbs, it was in vain.
Even the mouth is closed, so I can’t even say a word.
‘Wow, dream!? Is it a dream?’
There was no way Iris, a princess of the Han Dynasty, could have been treated like this unless it was a dream.
But her hopes….
“Hey… After all, she’s a princess, so she’s pretty.”
She was shattered by a man looking down on her pony, who caressed her breasts to his heart’s content.
