Chapter 320 – Day 46 – The Princess Hears a Shocking Story From Arisa in the Carriage
“Have you finished talking with the empress, Venus?”
Arisa asked a question as she closed the door of the carriage and watched her enter.
“Momma and her aunt said they would stay in the imperial palace.
Naturally, Agrippa and Elaine couldn’t leisurely ride in the wagon to the Magicka Kingdom.
Agrippa was the empress of an empire where the sun never set, so she had many things to do behind the scenes.
If it was the emperor’s job to rule the empire as fiercely as her sharp sword her, the empress had to take responsibility for things that could be done with ‘story’.
“What… Elaine… Well…”
Unlike the princess, who can just call her aunt, Arisa makes an awkward expression.
To her, Elaine was the warrior from her children’s book her.
No, to be more precise, I only recently found out that the hero in the storybook was a woman, and that she was Elaine.
Until now, Elaine had never participated in a social party or imperial council, so Arisa, like Hedone, was completely unaware of the existence of an existence called Elaine.
“Auntie is Auntie, so feel free to call her, because in reality she is a woman without any title.”
“Umm… Well, because Venus said that. There’s no problem, right? Anyway, since Elaine’s status her is a criminal, it seemed impossible for her to leave the imperial palace.”
“That’s right. Arisa, Countess did a good job with her words her. Elaine honestly…”
Diana bit her lip lightly.
“… She thinks she is being treated too leniently by Venus for her crimes.”
Haha… I’m sorry. Diana. But I’ll ask you to apologize to you later.”
“Well, it feels like being bowed down, but if you get it from a girl like Elaine, it might not be so bad again.”
Deanna, who hadn’t even expected from the start that she would be able to get her apology from Elaine, shrugged her shoulders with her rather satisfied smile.
Looking at her, Hedone smiled slightly at her, grabbed the arm of the princess sitting next to her, and crossed her arms to her.
Arisa and Diana’s eyes strangely changed at the sight of Venus showing off that she would be the first to marry in the future, but these girls weren’t narrow-minded enough to fight in a narrow carriage.
“Princess, Arisa, Hedone, and Diana. The carriage is due to depart soon.”
It was Ceres who ended the strangely sparky atmosphere.
The moment she entered, Arisa and Diana let go of her expression her, and Hedone pulled her princess ‘arm her a little more.
“Then please leave.”
Ceres put her face to the coachman, spoke, and slowly returned to his seat her.
“What…”
Arisa, who opened her mouth, felt her carriage move slowly with her buttocks, then leaned back in her chair and opened her mouth again.
“Diana… Lang Hedone doesn’t seem to know the story, so I, the owner of the Mage Tower, will explain the state of the Magicka Kingdom.”
Since she was always a duke or a count, she couldn’t fight, so Arisa put her words her first.
Diana luckily did n’t grab her pod her and she nods her head approvingly.
“After Emperor Jupiter changed the Kingdom of Magicka into that form, many things happened. For now… “
Arisa pointed her finger at herself.
“It must be the fact that I became the owner of the Mage Tower.”
“…Is it time to brag?”
“It’s a serious story, Diana.”
Feeling Diana’s stinging gaze, Arisa continues her story of her.
“Are you well aware that the Mage Tower is a place full of people gathered to study magic? The strongest among wizards can become the owner of the Mage Tower. But… This is just an old story.”
The carriage that started to leave the imperial palace started running at a fairly high speed, and Ceres started preparing tea for the four ladies to drink in the carriage that ran skillfully.
“Among wizards, there has always been a lot of talk about who is the strongest person? Are those who have studied magic for a long time and whose knowledge is beyond imagination strong? Are those who know little by little about all the magic in the world? Conversely, the simple and ignorant person who handles destructive magic the best is the strongest?”
“…Is this a difficult story? The more difficult the story, the more interpretations there are, and those interpretations will soon become seeds of contention.”
“It’s just as Diana said. Becoming the owner of the Mage Tower gave me knowledge of a truly enormous honor. There were so many people who didn’t want to miss that opportunity. That’s why in the old days, they fought a lot in the Mage Tower.”
Arisa’s serious story she reminded the princess of what she heard at the academy.
“Ah… I’ve heard and know that story. At some point in the Mage’s Tower, they didn’t study magic, and there was an endless fight about who is the strongest wizard?”
“Yes, so there were a lot of wizards who left for the Magicka Kingdom. Of course, after the Mage Tower was normalized, most of them returned or even stayed in two places…”
Anyhow, Arisa interrupted her and smiled after receiving the tea and refreshments that Ceres brought.
“There are wizards who pursue great power, but there are also wizards who pursue wisdom. Fortunately, this fight did not last forever. Everyone acknowledged that the longer magic is studied, the greater the depth and vastness of its knowledge. . Finally…”
“I heard that the seat called the master of the mage tower is reserved for famous families after a duel close to play.”
“What? Diana, unexpectedly, knows this well? Well… Since you’re the leader of the new nobles. It’s unclear how the Mage Master, who can be said to be the symbol of the old nobles’ power, is elected .”
At Arisa’s words her, Diana, perhaps not for that reason, quietly drank her coffee that Ceres had given her with a small smile.
“Well… It’s a bit long to say, but to conclude, I wasn’t the one to become the owner of the Mage Tower. Our Hekati family a long time ago, my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather… We have to climb far beyond that, so only one person can climb the Mage Tower.Because the history of being the owner of the
“…No way…”
“It may be painful for Venus… But after His Majesty Emperor Jupiter did such a thing, all magicians from the Magicka Kingdom had to be killed or hidden underground… Like Hailey’s Galagon Kingdom, the demons There are cases where they were forced to survive because of the fight, but there are very few.”
At Arisa’s words her, Venus closed his eyes and pressed his head her with his right hand.
The Magicka realm was so huge that it was impossible to tell how many people were killed, enslaved, killed, or imprisoned.
“… No, it’s quite an uncomfortable story… Seeing Arisa, who has a strong sense of pride, talk like that, it seems that a lot of wizards have died.”
“There are so many families that I can’t count on my fingers. That’s how many estates have been created…”
“It also served as an opportunity for us new nobles to occupy one seat at a time. Really…”
Diana puts on a very bitter look and then she touches her hand her.
“I’ve heard enough to say that the cradle of a new nobleman was built on a sea of blood, but I’m even using blood magic. It’s a strange feeling.”
“Ha…Haha. Everyone said this without knowing the circumstances, so don’t be too distressed. Diana.”
“Don’t be distressed, Venus either. I’ve said it over and over again about the Magicka Kingdom, but it’s not your fault.”
Arisa said her words and quietly drank the black tea in front of her.
Holding her ice cup her in her hand for a moment, the princess pondered, then swallowed her drink with a gulp as she put her ice into her mouth her.
“…Huh! Arisa. Then I want to know why you think it’s not my fault.”
“Yeah… Well, to put it very simply, you weren’t the one who killed Queen Madolce and Mana.”
“…Ummm…”
“I know why Venus thinks that way. It’s because His Majesty Emperor Jupiter knew the truth about what kind of research the Magicka Kingdom was doing through the hairpin he received as a gift that day, right?”
Venus put on a slightly shaken expression, but nodded her head.
“Queen Ma Dolce was by no means stupid. She sat on her golden throne and knew that Emperor Jupiter could see into every corner of the empire. So she was able to blindfold the Emperor. You hit the boundary.”
“…Yes, as Arisa said. It is a fact that I found out by asking Ceres… Queen Madolce used magic that deceived the eyes of Abama. Even that…”
Venus, who swallowed her words for a moment, wrinkled her expression a little.
“It looks like you were taught by the demons… Anyway, if I hadn’t gone to Magicka Kingdom that day, Abama wouldn’t have known what Queen Madolce was researching.”
“That’s absolutely not the case, Venus.”
Arisa, who spoke with a serious expression, calmly shook her head from side to side.
“Do you remember the blue-haired girl who participated in the social party last time in the name of the Principality of Magicka?”
“…It’s been a month, but I remember it.”
At Venus’ words her, Diana tilted her head.
“Wait… Isn’t that a bit strange?”
“Ah… That’s right.”
After talking to Hedone, Arisa opens her mouth as if she had waited.
“Queen Madolce is dead, too, and countless wizards have died just because she was from the Kingdom of Magicka. But isn’t it strange that there are people who call it the Principality of Magicka?”
“Ah… Arisa. What do you want to say?”
“It’s there in the first place. Venus. Isn’t that so strange? The emperor who sits on the throne is busy suppressing the demons underground all day long. Hearing the stories the empress tells and the messengers who have come running from afar, the demon-related things If this is the case, most of the time he will rise from the throne.”
“…No way.”
Venus wanted to believe otherwise, but Arisa was convinced.
“The barrier that deceived the eyes of His Majesty Emperor Jupiter worked perfectly. It has been perfectly deceiving the eyes for over 10 years. But why did he suddenly decide to give you a hairpin one day to check the status of the Magicka Kingdom? Isn’t that too obvious?”
“…All the people of Magicka Kingdom are dead, but the dukedom lives on with the name of the family…”
Hearing Hedone’s murmur, Venus closed her eyes.
“…You sold it.”
“Yes. I did inform. Someone from House Magicka, to be exact, the person who leads House Magicka now! I told His Majesty, Emperor Jupiter! That’s why I gave you a hairpin! It can’t be your fault! If it wasn’t for you, the empress would have confirmed it even if she had to send it!”
Venus bit his lip and trembled.
“…Ceres.”
“Yes, Princess.”
“…I have to go to the Duchy of Madolce first. It doesn’t matter since the road is the same anyway.”
“I understand. Princess. Then, let’s head to the Madolche Principality.”
The expression of Venus, who gave the order to Ceres, was quite bad.
“…I can’t believe it.
“Sometimes…”
Diana, hearing the words of her princess her, opens her mouth and she laughs bitterly.
“There are people who act out of the slightest vengeance without even thinking about the deaths of thousands.”
“No matter how lucky you are, you’re still a family. No matter how lucky you are, you’ll be taken to a dungeon and beheaded, or you won’t be able to eat until you die, starve to death, or die of thirst…”
The princess bit her lip and let out a deep sigh.
“That… I’ll have to see her face to see what kind of person the head of Dolce Gate is.”
Who the hell is the existence that sells Queen Madolce and eats her favors her?
The princess bit her lip tightly and thought that she must take revenge.
* * * * * * *
The rattling carriage ran without rest, but it could not reach the Duchy of Madolce in less than half a day.
Dark nights were dangerous, even in an age when magic stones could be used to create light.
“The preparations are complete. Princess. You can sleep in the tent here tonight.”
“Ceres did a great job. How the hell… How can you set up such a huge tent by yourself?”
“Whoops, it’s the power of a maid.”
After joking around her, Ceres grabbed the princess by the shoulders and began to massage her with both hands.
“Princess. You thought well today.”
“Hmm… Come to think of it, the affairs of the Magicka Kingdom were also related to Ceres.”
“I was so sorry at that time. Even when I gave you the medicine that Oracle gave me, my heart hurt so much.”
“What do you have to be sorry for?”
The princess held Ceres’ hand with her with her two hands.
“…I saw many cruel things after that… Yes, if I saw the scenery of the devastated Magicka Kingdom or the corpse of Mana and Queen Madolce that day, I’m sure it would have turned into something.”
“But the princess… Did you know that day? I’m so happy that she’s always grown strong.”
Haha! Ceres speaks just like my mother!”
The princess burst into laughter and turned her body around to grab Ceres’s cheek of her, who seemed to be feeling a strange feeling, and kissed her on the lips of her.
“…That terrible day. Thank you for crying for me! Ceres.”
“Princess… Those words…”
“I’m really grateful for this, so please don’t decline. Otherwise…”
The princess smiled and grabbed Ceres’ hands her.
It will still take a while for Arisa, Diana, and Hedone to wash and return.
“Is there any prize you want to receive from me?”
It was Venus who was talking fairly roundly, but Ceres thought for a moment and then nodded very slowly.
“…If the princess wants to…”
