105. Jin is no longer ■■.
The slave imprint engraved by the transcendent wizard himself has been released. It’s as simple as snapping your fingers.
‘Ownership must have already passed?’
The owner of the engraving has been transferred to France. No matter how old you are, it is difficult to remove the imprint of transcendence that has passed ownership with a snap of your fingers.
‘You created a gap with this in mind from the beginning.’
If not, there is no explanation. Transcendence Wizard made this engraving easy to remove from the beginning.
‘It’s good that I don’t have to use it.’
The original plan was to coax France to obtain the ‘Stake of Purification’ right before running away and then try to cancel the imprint.
The ‘Stake of Purification’ removes all harmful effects from the body, but instead, the thin stake must be received with the heart. You don’t die, but you feel the pain of being pierced through your chest.
“Whoa.”
First of all, I would like to say that I am fortunate. You don’t have to feel the pain of having your heart pierced by that stake.
‘But you don’t want this to be discovered?’
Unlike before, the current France does not bother to carry the slave restraint tool unless it is a special occasion.
This is because trust in me has grown.
‘The restraints were probably in the drawer next to the bed.’
She has to hide it somehow. You will be able to tell that the imprint has been removed by looking at the light. This is the plan.
“What should I do now?”
It has become a situation where we can run away at any moment.
“Hmm… ….”
The tower is just waiting for completion. This has been explained to Kazar, so it will take care of itself.
The business had already succeeded long ago, and France had become one of the richest men of the empire.
‘The question is whether France can take over the duchy without my help.’
The designated successor is Eden. The decision maker is the duke. As for the line, since I don’t have one, I’ll skip it.
‘Without my help, you have to push through with your own strength.’
However, it is not an easy problem to do with force alone. There are vassals and elders who adhere to the principle of primogeniture succession.
“I can’t help it.”
I have no choice but to help.
Last. It’s really the last time.

The current time is evening. It’s time for the party to ripen.
I entered the imperial palace earlier than promised and walked to the party hall.
In a wide and spacious hall, numerous nobles chat and dance to music. The centerpiece is of course Somire and Crown Prince Ramen Sari.
A gorgeous chandelier twinkles from the ceiling, and food is lined up like a buffet on large, pure white tables placed here and there.
And in front of the table, Radea is frantically picking up her food.
‘What is he doing?’
I saw France and Kale sitting at a table nearby.
‘No, kale too?’
Kale is piling up a mountain of food and soaking her insides with wine. France just watches the party with his chin resting on his face with a bored look on his face.
‘That’s bullsh*t.’
I shook my head and approached France.
“Princess, I have come.”
Poof! France quickly turned his head and made eye contact with me.
“Jin!”
France smiles brightly as if she is very happy to see you.
“Did Kale and Radea perform their mission well?”
“There is nothing to do. “Who would touch me here?”
Somire might have planned something strange again. Well, if nothing much has happened so far, it’ll be fine.
“But is it okay to leave Radea and Kale like this? “I think you’re planning on paying for the food at the party.”
Cale swallowed her mouthful of food, took a swig of wine, and glared at me.
“What kind of pig do you think I am? “How do I afford this food?”
I think the food piled on that plate was over 30cm long. There are even four plates.
“Just leave it alone. “There are few opportunities to taste the food of the imperial chef.”

France didn’t seem to care much.
“Have you achieved your goal?”
“Yes.”
“How was it?”
“Hmm. “It was just frustrating.”
France tilted his head.
“You just felt frustrated?”
“Yes. “Everything I thought so far was wrong.”
“Huh? “What do you mean?”
I feel like asking… ….
“Still, I found out something.”
“What is it?”
After looking around, I approached France and whispered in her ear.
“It has become clear that the saint is seeking the life of her princess.”
Bright! France’s eyes widened in an instant.
“It was like that, right?”
“Yes. “I came to check.”
“But how did you check it?”
“I met a transcendent wizard.”
Earlier, France showed wide eyes, but this time, she showed her wide-open mouth.
“Transcendent Wizard?”
I explained everything to France. Seldas was investigating the saint, but the one who moved instead left only traces of magical power and did not reveal her identity.
And while fighting with the Master of Geum, he inferred the client, and it turned out that it was a transcendent wizard.
“Why is a transcendent wizard with a saint?”
“I’m embarrassed too.”
France’s complexion suddenly became heavy. There is a hint of confusion.
‘If I’m there, there’s no problem…’ ….’
Later is the problem. What if a transcendent wizard targets France after I leave?
‘We have no choice but to look forward to Khazar’s achievements.’
Kazar is on the verge of transcendence. With just a little time, he could become a transcendent wizard.
After somewhat organizing my thoughts, I smiled at France.
“There is no need to worry. Aren’t we there? “There is also Exceed to help you if you need it.”
Now, France has decided to trust others. In particular, Kazar receives a lot of trust.
“Yes, that’s right. “If I were the way I am now, even a transcendent wizard wouldn’t be able to touch me easily.”
“That’s right. “If you touch a princess who also has a Fedelian lion badge, there will be a lot of problems.”
Now, France is a person with tremendous influence in the empire. He is not easy to mess with.
‘It seems that the saint has become a member of the imperial family.’
No matter what, they won’t be able to keep France in check. Because the power of France that I created is overwhelming.
“You can ease your worries because we are here. “Because we exist for him.”
France smiled and nodded at what I said. I smiled appropriately and looked away.
Then. I felt a presence behind me.
“Oh, you’re here?”
It was Radea. I brought two plates, and the food was piled up like a mountain.
“Radea, take a seat quickly.”
“Did you eat it first?”
“I’m tired of waiting.”
“You also drank the wine first!”
They seem like siblings who get along well. France also laughed when she saw this.
“I’m glad you’re doing well.”
“That’s right.”
Lathea set down her plate and poured wine into her glass.
“Wow, this is my first time trying alcohol.”
“What?”
“I couldn’t even drink beer because it was expensive.”
Wait a minute, so you don’t know about alcohol intake and injections? This is the imperial palace, so it’s a bit dangerous.
“Drink in moderation. “It’s a big problem if you get drunk.”
“I’m also a sword master and I don’t get drunk easily.”
Usually, people who say things like that are really drunk.
“Come on, let’s have a drink!”
Ladea takes a single shot of the wine in her glass. That makes me feel sick.
“Keuaa! Wow, this is really delicious!”
Ladea’s eyes sparkle as if she is seeing a newspaper for the first time.
“Right? They say the imperial wine is amazing. “How can I not endure this and wait?”
Kale has already emptied three bottles of wine.
“Wow, even the food is delicious. I’m crying…….”
Eventually, Radea shed tears of emotion.
“Wow, it’s an honor to serve you, princess. But I want to feed this to Laia too…….”
After saying that, he glances at me. Are you really going to bring food?
“Don’t think nonsense. “I’d rather use the money I received to go to a fancy restaurant.”
“No, you can’t eat the imperial chef’s food in a restaurant… ….”
“Still, I can’t tolerate behavior that is inferior to dignity. “You have the dignity of a princess.”
Ladea is drooping. In the meantime, food is being stuffed into the mouth. I think it has changed a lot from my first impression.
‘Well, I guess this was his original personality.’
I chuckled and stroked Radea’s head.
“Raia would rather eat alone at a restaurant with you than eat food from the imperial chef.”
Oh, that was kind of cool.
“Laia is nice, so I think she will be.”
“Yes, you, her older sister, would know very well.”
The fact that he can be abrasive but sometimes shows a sweet and youthful side is like having a younger sister who is much older than me.
“They seem to be getting along well… ?”
The air becomes cooler as soon as I hear France’s words from next to me. I quickly turned my head.
France is watching us with his eyes wide open.
‘Could it be that they used magic?’
After reading the flow of magical power, I found that no magic was used. I quickly made an excuse.
“I feel like I’m just taking care of my younger sister. “It’s not what you think, princess.”
Perhaps sensing something unusual, Radea excused herself without even swallowing the food in her mouth.
“That’s right, I’m not interested in this person either. “I just think of him as an older brother I can rely on.”
Kale also helped.
“Princess, I am very sensitive to relationships between men and women, but these two have no relationship at all.”
Thank you. But you read the mood well. I didn’t know there was such a setting.
“Hmm… ….”
However, France does not easily stop being suspicious. She just opened her eyes shallowly and stared at us.
“… ….”
“… ….”
I am very nervous due to the unusual current of air.
‘No, really, why are you doing that?’
Dependency? Love? Possessive? Obsession?
I know that various emotions are amplified due to black magic. But I don’t know which of those four was amplified.
‘Could it be all four?’
Dependency and possessiveness towards me. The resulting obsession develops into love. That makes sense.
‘It’s a bigger deal than I thought.’
I smiled and continued speaking.
“I am the only princess. “How could I leave my master and set my sights on another woman?”
I tried it first. If this works, I will be able to know France’s feelings for me.
“Hmm, so?”
The expression relaxed.
“Yes, that’s right. “Because you must remain mine for the rest of your life.”
“That’s right. I don’t belong to anyone else.”
When the death penalty was withdrawn, Radea smiled awkwardly and then returned to her normal self as if something had happened. Thanks to this, the heavy atmosphere was refreshed.
“Mr. White Ghost. “Try this too.”
“I am not a man.”
“Compared to me, you’re an old man or something?”
“You and I are only 8 years apart!”
“When you’re 28, you’re an old man.”
Leave Lathea and Kale bickering. I sat next to France.
“Princess.”
“Why?”
“Is there anything else you want from me?”
“What do you want?”
France tilted her head.
“For example, you know something about the heart.”
I stabbed him openly. Gulp. Her nervousness made the saliva that went down her throat feel like a stone.
“Hmm… ….”
France caressing her chin and thinking.
“There is something I wish for.”
“What is it?”
“You stay with me for the rest of your life.”
“What is the source of that heart?”
Franche is once again lost in thought when it comes to the source.
“First of all, the desire to possess is huge. Because you are what I bought and you are my first ally and benefactor. “I don’t want to give it to anyone.”
After all, it was just gratitude and attitude as an owner.
“But wouldn’t it be uncomfortable if you were with another woman, and wouldn’t you be able to hold back your anger because her heart would be sore?”
Uh… ?
“I become jealous without even realizing it. I thought it was because of possessiveness. “Because if you get involved with another woman, you won’t be completely mine.”
I feel uneasy for some reason.
“But now, as I think about it and say it, I can guess what I’m feeling.”
France lowered her head with narrowed eyebrows.
“Isn’t this love?”
