Chapter 63

“Gee, did I come at the wrong time?”

It was about five minutes later that Derek opened the office door and entered.

“Ah, Meiji.”

“See you again.”

“You are so new and ignorant. Last time he was in Credia, but today he is in the arms of my assistant in my office in the imperial palace.”

“That’s right.”

Hearing Derek’s words, Nael untied his arm.

I thought I was lucky. If Derek hadn’t come to visit, he might have stayed like this until the emperor said two hours.

“okay. Looks like we missed Werain. assistant?”

“Yes, Meiji.”

“Let me go out for a while. I have something to say to this guy of mine. Ten minutes should be enough.”

“All right.”

Neil left the office with a voice full of regret. When you go, come back and say hello.

“Huh, not even affectionate. Wasn’t this the first time we met?”

“It happened.”

“Your face is sinful. Okay, where should I start talking?”

“Why did you kill Daisy?”

This is what I wanted to ask the most.

Derek, who threw the robe roughly on the armrest and sat down, started talking.

“I told you he wasn’t human.”

“It was.”

“To be precise, when comparing the proportion of humans and fairies, it was said that the fairies were higher. Maybe around 20:80.”

“What is a fairy?”

“A monster that is beautiful enough to be incomprehensible, but eventually possesses people and erodes reason and leads to destruction. I saw it with my own eyes.”

It was a short and clear explanation.

That such a being existed in ＜Academy Summer Turge＞?

“It looks no different than a human. Their reproductive abilities are intact.”

“You mean Daisy’s mother was such a fairy?”

“okay. Fairies are usually attracted to magical powers, but there are special kinds. When a strong fairy seduces an ordinary human and conceives a child, such a monster often emerges. Fairy blood is much thicker than human blood. Coke!”

After coughing once, Derek touched his neck and gestured.

Like a grumpy old man.

“… … Here you are.”

“I like it because it’s quick to notice.”

Derrick continued, drinking water from a glass.

“It will grow fine for a while, but in the end, a human bowl can’t handle the power of a fairy, so it runs out of control. Explosions of unknown cause are mostly caused by the lineage of such fairies. I would have left it on my own if I had it, that kid was a big problem.”

“… … blond hair.”

“okay. You understand right away. The reason why the imperial family took it and raised it was because they wanted to be able to control it. It was kind of an experiment. We already have one successful case.”

Derek said, patting his head. This part was different from what I knew.

Baeller and Daisy.

The first purpose for which the imperial family brought the two was surveillance.

“For convenience, don’t call me the Golden Fairy. He is exceptionally strong among fairies. Someone was the first to get that blood a long time ago. He became the first emperor of Rongrult.”

Twozen von Rongrth.

I saw the portrait while walking through the corridors of the imperial palace. Certainly, there was a strange attraction to her because of her off-white color compared to her descendants.

“Aren’t you going crazy?”

“Originally it should have been. However, unlike normal humans, your bloodline from the royal family of Aindarroch and Rongurt was born with a gift for magical power.”

Both Rongrut and Aindarlock.

Because he had a natural talent for magic in the first place, he was able to maintain his reason even after accepting the blood of a strong fairy.

50:50.

The blood of fairies and humans was balanced. In magic, of course, he was a genius, and there were many other corners where he showed his talent.

“Each fairy is characterized by its strong color. Your hair color has been handed down since the first time you had a relationship with a fairy like that, yes. Then it should have faded.”

“Did you?”

“Don’t you look in the mirror?”

Bang bang, said Derek, knocking on the mirror right in front of him.

“Tsk, shameless! Do you think that face would have been born in the arms of an ordinary human?”

“My mother… … You mean?”

“Coltman, that sneaky bastard. As soon as I heard all about it from my father, I crossed the barrier.”

And it wasn’t until after a while that he revealed that he had a son, so he didn’t know if he had fallen from the sky or sprung up from the ground.

“Gezi risked his life and single-handedly went through the neutral zone in the north to visit the black fairy who gave birth to the first Aindarok. He’s crazy!”

Derek shook his head.

no, then what

Rockstrin’s mother is a fairy?

“Black fairies are different from gold fairies. I don’t even like people. He was so gloomy and nasty, your Aindarlock was originally roughly 60:40, with the blood of a fairy. That’s why the imperial family didn’t get close to Aindarlock. It must have come down from generation to generation until it was only half-adjusted.”

“Then I… … .”

“Coltman didn’t reveal your existence to the public until you were over ten years old. Why? Of course.”

chuck.

The tip of Derek’s wand was placed in front of his neck.

“Lockstrin Aindarok. It’s because the existence of you is closer to a fairy than anyone else.”

It didn’t draw out even a drop of magical power, but it was a chilly feeling that made the back of my head go numb.

Even more so than the first Rongurt and Aindarlock, who inherited the blood of a fairy for the first time.

Coltman’s son, who already had some fairy blood mixed in, was born with the darkest fairy blood.

“But, well, it’s good that you’re fine even now at the age of 16.”

Derek withdrew his wand and grinned. I’m just trying to scare people.

“Continue to be faithful to the Empire. lucky you! The precious fairy’s talent must have been driven all over the face, and the head is not intact! ha ha ha! Cool! Keck!”

Fuck!

He laughed and hit me on the head with a cane, and eventually, Derek, who was lifted up and left, did not bring water this time.

But the water bottle flew on its own and landed in Derek’s hand. Why did you do it earlier?

Still, questions remain.

“But how does Mage know all of that?”

“me? Hehehe.”

Derek abruptly took off a hat he hadn’t taken off before. The smooth surface looked bright even in a dark room.

he was bald

There is nothing to do with baldness because it is a unique color. because he’s bald

“When I was young, even if not as much as you, the aristocratic family recognized me for my face! Hahaha!”

“Would you like to do well?”

“Well, I was an orphan. The previous court mage forced me to teach. If you do this, all your questions will be answered.”

Rongrult, who inherited the blood of a fairy.

If that’s the case, it’s like having a basis for a child to become the world’s strongest genius.

“I have one more question.”

“What.”

“Do you know anything about the silver hair in the Mashu kingdom?”

“no. I don’t even know that far. did you say I’ve only seen one gold one myself. I’m just making a vague prediction. Couldn’t there be a silver fairy somewhere?”

“There is a high probability of that.”

“Now it is time for me to take a nap. go away.”

He quietly backed away at the whimpering gesture of his hand. Actually, I didn’t expect you to say it so plainly.

The conclusion came out quite easily.

‘No problem.’

So, no matter what the fairy did, knowing or not knowing, nothing changed.

It seems to be somewhere deep in the neutral zone in the first place. What if even court wizards like Derek are taking care of it?

I don’t have to care It was just a little embarrassing.

‘Isn’t this body human… … .’

According to Derek, more than half of them are fairies.

Anyhow, good is good.

A level 10 charm is hard to explain by human standards. I guess it’s just that, I guess I can just move on.

“Are you done talking?”

“It wasn’t very long.”

“Do you have anything to do next?”

“I need to stay still for an hour. There is someone waiting for you.”

It hadn’t even been an hour since I had been kicked out of the restaurant.

If the emperor himself accepted my invitation, there would be no need to meet other people, so it was better to stay still for now.

“Didn’t you come to see Meiji?”

“I’m here for a wedding. Maisie Derek is a double-sex.”

“Ah, it’s not at the peak of times. I’m curious. with who?”

“My highness.”

“ah… … ? ah?”

Neil nodded, then tilted his head again in the opposite direction.

“Your Highness? Her Highness, the 2nd Princess?”

“yes. The three of us had a meal with His Majesty the Emperor at the restaurant earlier.”

“Brother, you are so… … . I thought it was unexpectedly normal, but suddenly it’s trying to look far away again.”

“It’s okay because I refused.”

“No, you turn it down again? Maybe that wouldn’t be okay as it is?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Do you have any place to kill time? Maisie Derek says it’s time for a nap.”

“There is, but.”

I blindly followed Neil. It wasn’t like there were no other people in the imperial family who knew anything else.

“There is a place I go to often. It is also a business partner.”

“Are you going here?”

But that thought was wrong.

It wasn’t that no one knew at all. I don’t know how it fits so well.

That’s right, since he’s a central politician, it’s only natural that he’s here.

[Yuksilla]

“Your Excellency, may I come in?”

“It’s that bastard’s Excellency again. because don’t do it come in.”

Cyrlin Yuxilla.

It was the first time I met him in person, but he was a person I could only say that there was a point of contact in many ways.

“you… … ?”

“sorry.”

Sophisticated yet aristocratic attire. As the head of a marquis family, formality oozes from even a single hand gesture.

As soon as he saw the scarlet hair like Hira’s, he lowered his head.

Shilin himself has not yet been pardoned for the crime of entering my daughter’s room without permission and stealing the check.

“Did you know Rocktrin?”

“Everyone knows. He stole the check from my daughter’s room.”

“Oh my gosh.”

“It was a few months ago. everything worked out Hey, I got my money back a long time ago, so keep your head up.”

“I’ll show my shame, Your Excellency.”

“… … yes, is that the face? The thing that lured my daughter whom I had so cherished. It looks disgusting, really.”

Uhuhu, Shilin spoke in a joking tone with a light laugh. Neil was a little confused.

I heard that I just had a marriage talk with Ai-nim. What is this about? It’s hard for me to explain, so I just laughed it off.

“Nice to meet you. This is Lockstrin Aindarok.”

“Is Hira and you doing well?”

“yes. They seem to be practicing magic a lot these days.”

“Magic? It’s strange.”

There might be time left, but Silin muttered softly and called an attendant to bring refreshments.

Before long, three people sat around a small tea table about two feet apart.

“By the way, Nael, didn’t you say you didn’t know Rocktrin?”

“Yes, I saw my brother for the first time today.”

“You seem friendly for something like that.”

“I was a little kidding.”

Shilin put on a puzzled expression. There must be a sense of discrepancy.

“you… … . Well. Wouldn’t it be better to have some restraint? What are you doing to seduce an innocent kid like Naiel?”

“Your sister is family.”

“Oh, do you know that I am not family? A mother always takes a great interest in her son’s love life, Rockstrin.”

“I will try.”

Neil’s eyes widened as he listened to this quietly.

“Am I being weird… … ? Your Excellency, what is a mother?”

“Oh, because I’m getting married to Coltman next month.”

Silyn, who took a sip of her tea gracefully, put her hand on my head.

Unlike Nael, who was soft, it felt like he was messing around.

“He is my son. Nael, you will be my nephew.”

“I think you said you were just pretending the other day… … .”

“I have a bit of a complicated situation. It’s all over here. So, Rocktrin. Did the wedding talk go well?”

“I declined.”

I shook my head. Silin also showed an insignificant reaction.

“Yeah, I thought you would do that. You should get as much as you can get. Even if the opponent is Your Majesty.”

Even if you never intended to say no, if there is no risk to take, then refusal becomes a virtue. Of course, I wholeheartedly refused.

“It’s usually the underdog who makes the offer first.”

“Huh, that’s what the snails here like to say. Of course I like it too.”

“My father is not too greedy, so it’s a mask.”

“It’s good to be careful, though. Because His Majesty will keep testing you. Anyway, if you two get along like that, are you going to Summer Turf?”

“It’s probably less noticeable than here.”

How much of a variable is Neil?

While Nael Aindarok doesn’t even appear in ＜Academy Summer Turge＞, Summer Turge’s engineering department is not small.

If Nayel comes as an adviser there, there is a high possibility that it will affect the episode in many ways.

‘Now what?’

There is an imaginary theory, surrender has been refused, Coltman has remarried to Shilyn, and I am having a marriage conversation with Ai-nim.

It’s not too crazy.

You can’t hold everything in your hands, so you have to be content with looking ahead.

“Rox? Here it is?”

Then the door burst open and the child came in. The story seemed to have ended a little early.

“Meet Her Highness, the Second Princess.”

“Oh, yes!”

It was like a child to enter the office of a marquis without knocking.

Shilin and Nael naturally got up from their seats and were polite.

The child hesitated to answer, then came straight to me.

“Abama said he would move the troops as Rox said. He’s writing a dispatch order.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“I worked hard to convince you! Instead, he said that more than that was a condition of getting engaged. It’s a deal that loses my face.”

“I accept that much. Well done. Now.”

I looked left and right.

I thought that since I came to the imperial family, I would have to go around here and there, but there was no need for that.

Because all the people who need it are already gathered here.

Although she only has an ambiguous position of being a cousin, a stepmother, and a prospective fiancée.

That’s not wrong.

“—Let’s start the family meeting.”

maybe save the continent.
