103. The wedding of the saint.
The day of the wedding of the saint and the crown prince.
Before leaving, Cale, I, and Radea gathered in front of the duke’s residence.
“The mission is to protect the princess.”
“It’s a wedding hall, but an escort?”
“Can we come in too?”
“You can go in.”
Kale and Radea tilt their heads and express doubts. Should I explain this?
“Mook’s assassination attempt wasn’t long ago, right? And the Descartes family and the imperial family announced that it was someone’s request.”
Radea nodded her head, “Yes, of course.” Cale just listened quietly.
“It’s in the name of safety, so there’s nothing wrong with having more escorts with her. “Because there is a good reason.”
Kale said, “Indeed.” She nodded.
“Is the mission simply escort?”
“Yes. “I will handle everything else.”
“Anything else?”
“I’ll let you know when the time comes.”
“… “It still makes people curious.”
That’s how it’s fun.
“Anyway, I have something else to do, so you guys have to take care of the princess’s escort. “If you think the princess’s life is in danger, don’t worry and draw your sword.”
Kale answered, “I understand,” But Radea expressed doubt.
“It’s a place where the royal family and great nobles gather, so can I bring a weapon?”
“We are the bodyguard of a great nobleman. “It doesn’t matter if people are verified.”
“I see. “I thought I would have to guard it with my bare hands, so I was wondering what to do with this.”
Now that I think about it, she was a girl from the northernmost countryside who had just recently become an adult.
“Anyway. Please understand that there is no problem. “The operational briefing is over.”
Actually, there is nothing to call it an operation.
‘They will take care of it.’
The reason I don’t escort it myself. I need to meet a transcendent wizard. I need to know the meaning of the magic circle engraved on me, as well as the voice I hear every time I synchronize. Besides this, I have many questions.
The Transcendent Wizard will know the answer to all of this.
“Then everyone, get ready to leave. Radea, you know how to ride a horse, right?”
“Ah, yes. “I learned it from my teacher.”
“Okay, just follow our carriage. “Kale will tell you the details.”
I said that and turned my back. Now I have to go pick up France.
I entered the mansion. France was checking the condition of the dress one last time in the lobby, where everyone was busy.
“Princess, it is time to leave.”
“Already? Helena, check quickly.”
“Yes.”
I took a moment to shape the dress and finished preparing it.
“Let’s go.”
I held France’s hand, who was wearing black lace gloves, and walked to the carriage and boarded it. Shake! The wheels started rolling.
France looked out her window and laughed.
“Luckily, I’m not riding in the same carriage as those people. “If I had had to ride in the same place, I would have suffocated to death.”
It was decided that the Duke, Eden, and Rhine would go together, and only France would go separately. The decision was to keep only the three sword masters by the side, rather than having to bring in the inconvenient knights.
‘If there are two sword masters and one transcendental, there is no point in having hundreds of knights.’
The duke knew this, so he allowed it. So this carriage is comprised of me, Kale, and Lathea.
“It’s good because there aren’t those damn people and there aren’t those damn knights at the training ground.”
France continued his words by tapping his shoulder with a red fan.
“Something without proper chivalry is trying to be seen as a cover-up, but it’s meaningless.”
“They were clever from the beginning. “You don’t need to worry too much.”
I felt this way when I first came to this duchy, but they are such scoundrels that I can’t believe they have the rank of knight. It’s not even just a knight, it’s a duke’s knight.
“I feel at ease because I feel like I have completely escaped Descartes’ shadow. “Now, for the sake of the family, those people have to catch me.”
That’s right. France’s current achievements are unrivaled. It would not be surprising if France was selected as the next successor immediately.
However, the position of Eden, which has been training successors so far, is still strong.
‘I just need to tear this down.’
I grinned, looking at the triumphant France.
“It doesn’t end here. “The princess will soon own the duchy.”
France smiled sinisterly and touched the fan.
“That’s right. When I become the head of the family, I plan to kick them all out and change people. “The Descartes family is mine.”
As he says that, he doesn’t stop smiling.
“That’s a good idea.”
These are the things that will follow France’s name in the future.
The empire’s greatest businessman and wealthy man. A magic tower lord with two sword masters. The owner of the Descartes duchy.

If we make it to this level, it will not collapse unless we commit a massacre of citizens or murder of the imperial family.
‘No way, if I go out and my emotions explode, something strange won’t happen, right?’
There are Kazars around to comfort you and Seldas to make rational decisions. Let’s stop worrying about unnecessary things.
Now I have to tell you my plan.
“Princess.”
“Huh?”
“I try to move separately at the ceremony.”
“What? Alone? Why?”
France twisted her eyebrows and tilted her head. I continued my explanation.
“That’s because I have something else to look into.”
“Want to find out? “Are you related to the saint?”
“Yes. “I will let you know when details become clear.”
Without asking anything in particular, France nodded, saying, “Yes, I would know.”
“But it’s not dangerous, right?”
It’s a dangerous job, and since it involves being a transcendent wizard, you have to be careful.
“How could there be any danger in me, the best swordsman on the continent?”
“That’s right. “Who would threaten my Jean Barenberg?”
France said that and smiled. There is a lot of trust in me.
“So, don’t worry about me and just enjoy the festival.”
“I understand. “I’ll enjoy it as much as possible while avoiding other nobles.”
The conversation is over. The rest is just meeting a transcendent wizard?
‘It would be nice to hear about Somire as well.’
In the end, it will only be possible if the transcendental wizard cooperates.
* * *
Entered the imperial capital. If you go a little further, you will reach the imperial palace. I asked before going in.
“How does the wedding between a saint and a crown prince go?”
France blinked blankly at my question.
“… “Why don’t you know the wedding schedule?”
Ah, I’ve been so relaxed these days.
“Isn’t this wedding an unusual event? “It is a wedding between a crown prince and a saint, but the saint is clearly a commoner.”
I couldn’t check the wedding schedule properly because I was busy farming hidden items, but somehow it went well.
“Ah, now that I think about it, that’s right.”
France lowered her head and continued her words.
“First, she will get married in the grand hall of the imperial palace, and the party will continue until late at night. And the next day we march along the ecliptic.”
Hmm, that’s pretty standard.
“Looking at it this way, even if the saint is a commoner, there is not much difference from a typical royal wedding. “I guess she treats her as if her position is worthy of her position.”
A divine magic user who is even rarer in a world where magic is rare. In addition, there is no limit to magical power output, so there is an incredible ability to regenerate even a severed body.
It is no wonder that authority pierces the sky.
“Then I will join you until the party ends.”
“Yes, go ahead. “I have Cale and Redea, so there won’t be any trouble.”
France smiles and looks at me. I gave him a faint smile and quickly looked away.
‘Transcendence Wizard… ….’
If you meet that old lady again, you will learn something. I hope this frustration will end.
At that time. The carriage stopped.
“You’ve arrived.”
“I will get off first.”
I opened the door, came down, and held France’s hand. That’s how I came back to the imperial palace.
It seems like all the famous nobles of the empire have gathered, perhaps because of the wedding.
“It’s crowded.”
“Because it’s the royal wedding.”
I have seen the Great Hall of the Imperial Palace when I was playing a game with Somire. Even if all the nobles here fit in, there would still be plenty of space.
Kale and Ladea, who were following behind, also got off their horses.
“Wow, this is my first time coming to the imperial palace and she looks really big when I see her right in front of me.”
“How much money do you have? “There are even jewels studded here and there.”
La Dea looks on with her mouth wide open and her head constantly turning, and Kale looks somewhat dissatisfied.
“Okay, just proceed with the mission I told you to do.”
“I know.”
“Can I eat something like food?”
“Get permission from the princess to do that.”
I spoke to France.
“Then we will part ways from here.”
“Already? “You haven’t even entered yet?”
“I have someone to look for.”
“So… ?”
France became somewhat sullen. Is it a pity that you can’t enter with me?
“As I said before, I will definitely go to the party held at night. “Please relax and enjoy it first.”
After making a promise, France smiled.
“Okay, I’ll be waiting.”
“Please come back.”
“I will be doing my job properly.”
I nodded and moved to my seat. With Kale and Lathea, France will be able to survive even if a meteor suddenly falls and a dragon attacks.
‘We need to find a transcendent wizard.’
First of all, it completely killed the presence. Success as no one noticed my presence. There are no footsteps either.
‘Well, I’d be better at assassination missions than an assassin.’
Well, I’ll stop with my impressions here.
‘Now I have to find magic power.’
The transcendent wizard will have a strong wave of magical power. I will put an aura in her eyes and check every detail of her magical power to find that old woman.
Clutter.
The veins on my temples were bumpy. Waves of magic flowing in various ways. Material of dresses and suits worn by nobles. Dust floating in the air.
‘What is the wavelength of the transcendent wizard here?’
Numerous stems of various magical powers. Among these, you must find a large and unique stem of magic power.
‘First of all, no one can tell that this is the leader of the palace magicians.’
The massive green magic stem was passed. A transcendent wizard would not be fixed on one color.
“Hmm… ….”
Perhaps because it was a wedding of the royal family that had to ensure security, there was too much magic power.
‘My head hurts.’
It’s as if the area in front of your eyes has been painted with colored pencils to make it invisible.
I searched for the source of magical power while struggling to endure the pain that felt like my eyeballs were about to fall out and the overload on my brain.
And.
‘This is it.’
A stem that has all the colors of magic present here and has a vast wavelength.
This is the magical power of a transcendent wizard.
‘It’s quite high up.’
The location is a huge tower located on the outskirts of the imperial palace.
It’s so old and shabby that you can’t even tell when it was renovated. It’s a good thing that it didn’t break right away.
I walked quickly. I passed through numerous nobles and headed towards the tower.
“It’s not locked.”
I opened the door and went in. A circular staircase. There is a door leading into the room in between.
The atmosphere feels as if you have entered someone’s fantasy.
‘You played around with magic power.’
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me.
Jeopuk. I took a step and climbed the stairs. There was no need to check all over the room. The transcendent wizard’s magical power continued to the highest level.
“Whoa.”
The height of the tower was so high that climbing up it was a task. I’ve even thought about using Auras to run.
‘Then somehow the stairs seem to break.’
It was a shabby tower that made you think this way.
After climbing for a while, I reached the top and looked around. I saw a table lined with various magic tools and cleanly organized bedding.
However, the transcendent wizard was not visible.
‘The magic stays here.’
I guess I’m hiding there for no reason. I screamed at the top of my voice.
“Transcendent Wizard! “Don’t hide, come out!”
Saaak-
Suddenly, the entire floor became dark. As if the space had been cut out, the window that used to let in sunlight was filled with darkness.
And.
“Giggles, did you find me?”
A transcendent wizard has appeared.
