107. The last season we can be together
“You can make what I want come true?”
For an instant, my eyebrows furrowed. Do you know what I want? It’s strange, but it’s too strange.
“Yes. “I know your purpose.”
Is this the work of a transcendent wizard? That doesn’t seem likely. She doesn’t know the old lady very well, but she doesn’t approach her like this.
“What is my purpose and what do I want?”
Reverse question. Somire has now heard something from her and is putting her plan into action.
“You’re going to get away from the princess, right?”
I knew exactly.
“… ….”
First, let’s throw some bait here and try to draw them out a little more.
“Why do I escape from the princess?”
“Because you have to.”
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
“Are you going to keep appearing like that?”
The exact reason is not explained. I can get a vague idea from this short conversation.
‘The transcendent wizard gave me a little hint.’
The old woman and Somire have a cooperative relationship. He even tried to kill France by moving on his behalf.
‘Anyway, I never thought the transcendent wizard would have known this far.’
I have no idea how much he knows and it gives me goosebumps. I guess I knew everything about Jean Barenberg from the beginning.
‘The one who carved the magic circle of return and movement was a transcendent wizard.’
As Jin regressed, the transcendent wizard who engraved that magic must have also regressed. In addition, I was possessed and the contract between the Transcendent Wizard and Jean Barenberg.
I can’t figure out a single puzzle that will connect all of this. In fact, Somire, our partner, does not know the details.
“There’s nothing more to say, so I’ll just leave.”
Poof. I turned my back.

End of story. It would be a mistake to think that you can make a deal just by receiving advice from a transcendent wizard. Above all, I am not selling out France.
“It’s not long now.”
“… ?”
This time, I looked back to see what they were saying again. It keeps bothering me. France is waiting.
“There’s less than half a year left, right?”
My eyebrows twitched without me realizing it. Here, you need to manage your facial expressions as much as possible. The initiative still belongs to me.
“What are you talking about this time?”
Somire only smiled and did not answer my question.
“Well, last time you said it was half a year, so now there are four months and a half left?”
I know exactly when it is time to run away.
‘I don’t know how much you know.’
First of all, I don’t know about synchronization since I can’t explain why I need to get away from France.
‘Shall I stab you more?’
I tilted my head.
“You’ve been repeating strange things since a while ago.”
“Are you going to come out like this? “You know everything?”
Somire gets angry with her eyebrows twisted.
“You will leave the princess next year.”
First of all, I know my plan and time.
“Why am I leaving then?”
We need to dig deeper.
“… “Because it has to be that way.”
I don’t know the exact reason since he is saying things that don’t sound like words. I guess there’s nothing more to say.
“I’ll just go now.”
“Wait a minute!”
Somire said, “I still have more to say…” !” She said, but she didn’t even pretend to listen and went out onto the terrace, taking the champagne from the attendant.
“You’re late.”
Under the night sky, France smiles as she greets the cool breeze across the railing.
“It’s because a strange fly got caught in it.”
“Fly?”
“It’s not something the princess would care about.”
I opened some champagne, poured it into a glass, and handed it to France.
“Please eat.”
“Thank you.”
France looks at the crescent moon while holding a glass in one hand. As I was doing this, I suddenly remembered the past.
‘This is the last time I come to the party with France.’
I smiled bitterly without even realizing it. A lot of things happened, but if it was short it was short and if it was long it was a long time.
“Let’s go back to the duchy tomorrow.”
“Are you not watching the march?”
France burst into laughter.
“What do you do when you see that? “It is a parade of idiots full of duplicity, as the imperial family, which values lineage, allows marriages between commoners and imperial family members just because they say they are saints.”
France said that and took a sip of champagne. I still feel hot inside.
“Let’s rest like this a little longer and then go back. “I don’t want to stay in the imperial family anymore.”
I got her nod, “Yes, of course.” Radhea pursed her lips as if regretful.
“I haven’t been able to see the imperial palace yet… ….”
“Don’t be so discouraged.”
France continued her words while stroking the back of La Dea’s head.
“The imperial palace is gorgeous, but that’s it. “Don’t be sad because I will take you to a more meaningful and better place.”
Radea slowly lowered her head.
“Yes, I understand…” ….”
“But you ate the imperial chef’s food, right?”
“That’s true, though.”
“Then you have already seen the imperial palace.”
Ladea burst into laughter at the simple comfort that was not like Kale’s comfort.
“You’re sincere about what you eat.”
“… “I’m sure you said no, uncle?”
Leaving Kale and Ladea bickering, I sat down next to France, who was sitting on the railing.
“All plans are coming to an end soon.”
“Okay. “There is only one thing left.”
We quietly looked at the crescent moon.
France becomes the head of the family. Once this is over, I’m leaving.
Even though I feel relieved at the thought that I can survive, my worries about France bloom.
This duality collides and torments me.
‘It’s complicated.’
I sighed softly and called France.
“Princess.”
“Why?”
France looks at me with a gentle smile. She can’t open her mouth easily.
“… “What will you do if I suddenly disappear one day for some reason?”
When France heard my question, her face suddenly darkened. At the same time, Lathea and Kale also stopped chatting and became silent.
“What does that mean?”
“It’s just imagination.”
“… ….”
France is lost in thought, tapping the railing with her fingers. After her moment of pondering, she opened her mouth.
“Maybe they won’t use every means at their disposal to find you? “I’m going to search the whole world.”
Gulp. The saliva flowed heavily.
“What if I still can’t find it?”
“… “You’ve been asking unpleasant questions ever since.”
France frowned, glared at me, and continued speaking.
“I don’t want to imagine something like that, I haven’t even thought about it, so stop asking questions.”
I apologized and looked down, saying, “I’m sorry.” You asked a pointless question.
In the meantime, Kale and Radea are glancing around. They probably do it because they know I’m leaving.
“Let’s go back now. “I enjoyed everything enough to enjoy the party.”
France said that and came down from the railing. Me, Radea, and Kale followed her quietly.

The next day, Duke Descartes.
I am currently sighing in a lodging that is no bigger than a warehouse.
‘Not much was gained.’
I believed that I would be able to find the answer if I met a transcendent wizard. But all I got was that what I had guessed so far was wrong.
At least the slave imprint was easily removed.
‘In the midst of all this, I have a lot to worry about.’
After I left, France and Somire attempted to take her life. And a transcendent wizard who helps with that.
“Hmm… ….”
The transcendent wizard I met was not very cooperative with Somire. Somi Re wasn’t even interested in the conditions she proposed.
In fact, he was more interested in me.
‘I don’t know.’
I straightened my back and got out of the bedding. There is no use in struggling here.
“Let’s do what we decided to do.”
Now that the imprint has been lifted, you must hide the restraint to avoid being discovered by France.
I left the training hall and entered the Duke’s residence. Currently, members of the Descartes family are away for a wedding, so there are no users to be seen.
“Princess, I will go in.”
It is early in the morning. Since Helena is not there and there is no reply, I guess she is still sleeping.
Rattle. I opened the door and entered.
“… ….”
France was sleeping quietly, breathing softly. I completely lost sight and approached the side of the bed.
Brown drawer. There will be a restraining order here.
“Jin… ….”
I flinched at the sound of talking in my sleep. Did I appear in a dream?
“Whoa.”
After searching through the drawers for a short period of time, I found the restraints. However… ….
‘Hmm?’
It glows green without any problem. Sounds like the imprint hasn’t been removed.
‘Something is strange.’
Obviously, the slave imprint disappeared due to the power of the transcendent wizard. But the restraint ball still shines.
‘You must have been joking.’
Transcendent wizards are also very evil. I put the restraints back where they were. And just as I was about to quietly leave.
“Jin… ?”
France woke up.
“You came in without saying anything, what’s going on?”
“… “I checked the princess’s safety just in case.”
Tangled red hair and messy eyes. I think this is my first time seeing France wake up in the morning.
“I will call Helena right away.”
“Okay, please…” ….”
Huh, I left the room, leaving France yawning. Helena was at the door.
“Helena.”
“Ah… ….”
He doesn’t run away like before, but he keeps his distance under France’s orders.
“The princess has woken up.”
“Yes, yes!”
After waiting for a while, Helena brought a pure white towel and a basin filled with warm water.
“Princess, I’m going in!”
Helena went in, and I waited until France finished preparing.
And after a while.
“Please come in…” ….”
Helena came out and shared her words. I nodded and went inside.
France sitting at the table wearing a green loose dress.
“Sit down.”
I sat facing France like I always did.
“Good morning.”
“I see.”
Autumn, when you can hear birds chirping and a slightly chilly breeze blows in. Just before winter.
This winter will be my first and last season with France.
“Princess.”
“Why?”
“The plan to head to California is just around the corner.”
France’s face became calm.
“Tell me.”
Franche’s smile disappeared and her face became solemn. I continued my explanation.
“We will take advantage of the coming wave of disaster.”
“Use the waves of disaster?”
“Yes.”
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
A wave of disaster that came out of nowhere while talking about the position of the head of the family. Franze, filled with doubts, tilted his head.
“The waves of disaster were the Cartesian and Persian dukes. And you know that the Imperial Knights are divided into three punitive forces, right?”
France nodded his head, “Yes.”
“This is the core of the plan.”
“… Huh? “I still don’t know.”
Of course. Because we are now at the beginning.
“The punitive force formed by the Descartes family will be crushed by the waves of disaster.”
France’s eyes widened.
“What? That’s not a simple problem! “The whole family will suffer a blow?”
I chuckled and answered, “I’m using that.”
“The Dukes Descartes and Dukes So, who failed to defend the region, will lose trust. The princess will take advantage of this opportunity to become her successor.”
From Noble mtl dot com
The old people and vassals who adhere to the principle of primogeniture succession will have no choice but to accept France.
The entire family is in a shaken situation, and France is the person who can overcome this.
“Here, I will plan a plan.”
France listened to me and asked, “What operation?”
“Kale will replace me. “I will have Radea by my side, princess.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“I will disguise myself as a demonic beast and participate in the waves of disaster.”
The demon that will become me in the waves of disaster is the ‘ghost of bitter cold.’ It is a boss with overwhelming combat power even among magical beasts.
“We will use this to reorganize the knights of the Descartes family and push the duke and minor duke out of the family.”
