Chapter 62
Continental wizards gathered primarily on this mana line stepping stone.
The ones who boasted the best skills will gain a foothold in the wizard tower of the Northern Empire.
It’s a kind of test or challenge for the wizards who wish to climb the tower.
“That time, did you contact the stepping stone that there was a small local war?”
The wizards benefited the world.
Ironically, the ones essential to wars were also the wizards.
“Yes, I did. If there was a local war, I would definitely contact a place close to the Tungka empire.”
The contents of the contract in which the wizards were dispatched to the war were not something that could be easily discovered.
The information was only obtained because the current Lord of the magic tower was from this ‘mana’s stepping stone.’
“At that time, we confirmed that wizards were mobilized for the local war.”
Contrary to the initial purpose of its establishment, the relationship between the tower and the stepping stone was not very good.
Because the magic tower was more open to wizards from pure empires.
The current Lord of the magic tower was almost the only person to be recognized in both places.
“Was that information false?”
Looking at the Crown Prince, one of his best disciples, The Lord smiled faintly.
“The wizards were dispatched at the time, but strangely, no one was involved in the actual battle.”
“Recruiting wizards, but not putting them into the war zone?”
It was nonsense. Knowing that, Alderuan could not hide his ferocious expression.
The Lord continued, adding that there were talents from the stepping stone who could challenge the ‘test’ of the magic tower in a few years.
After the slim chance of finding a contract, detailed circumstances of the situation were discovered.
The challenger who wanted to come to the magic tower was nothing short of a bribe handed to the Lord to show his friendliness.
“By the way, teacher. How did you suddenly find out about the small war between the Tungka and the Navapal empire?”
The silent Crown Prince questioned.
“Oh, yesterday the Princess was very worried.”
Damien opened his eyes wide at the sudden mention of his younger sister.
“Yes?”
The Lord of the magic tower smiled warmly as he recalled the cute figure imitating an adult.
It was a big deal because the scent of mana was strong but it would feel more and more familiar to the Lord.
“You must have been with Your Majesty when I heard about this.”
“Is t…that so?”
“You have not yet known the details, but one thing is certain; this is an important matter for the people of the empire. But there’s nothing wrong with checking the details twice, or maybe three times.”
In the following explanations, the Crown Prince nodded his head without realizing it.
Siervian is cute, kind and all but she couldn’t have said it like that logically.
Alderuan, who had a rough mood, also nodded his head.
“Indeed, that’s what the good-hearted Siervy would say.”
“It is so, Your Majesty. She is a bright girl.”
Observing their reaction, the Crown Prince had a self-reflection.
“Indeed, if it’s Siervian…”
The three, who were thinking of the cute Siervian for a moment, suddenly recovered their usual serious faces.
It was ridiculous to recruit a wizard the same weight as gold at the most and not use them in battle.
The entire existence of the local war was becoming suspicious.
“Was the relationship between the Tungka and the Navapal empire not as bad as it might seem?”
“Well, the politics are not my field.”
The Lord wisely shifted the judgment to the Emperor.
Alderuan had been organizing his thoughts and put his arm on the side with a heavy remark.
“If the fact that the local war was a fabrication itself, it would be a masterpiece of work to deceive the empire.”
The Crown Prince’s face darkened; although he was young, he had a hard time studying as he was the successor.
He could read the political numbers involved in this situation.
“Didn’t you have a good feeling coming from the Princess? If she could just hurry up and learn magic…”
“Siervy was really cute that day.”
“She is cute, but that’s not what I am talking about…”
However, the Lord of the magic tower had to hear about the cuteness of magic-winged Siervian for a long time.
The mission to suggest teaching magic failed.
“…The Ministry of Foreign Affairs still does not know this fact.”
With a rather dark look, the Prince spoke first.
Seeing his cherished son, Alderuan felt that it was the time to enlighten him.
“The Crown Prince should keep in mind that he will have to choose one side in the future.”
“…”
For the stable cultivation of harmin tea, Duke had been the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for generations. This was because it was decided that it would be better to be on the front line for the supply and demand of fertilizers.
“Even if it is heartless, that is the weight of blood flowing to the Imperial Family.”
Alderuan worried that the Crown Prince might become depressed after hearing this.
Even if he doesn’t side with the Duke, it will not be easy to turn your back on your birth mother, the Empress.
Surprisingly, the Crown Prince spoke with a slightly brighter face.
“Everything is alright. I’m going to be on Siervian’s side anyway.”
“Hmm?”
It was like standing on a very ambiguous rope while choosing which side.
In this moment, the Emperor felt that his son was wiser than he thought.

“Actually, my mother also has avoided saying important things to me for a while now, since the harmin tea incident.”
It was Crown Prince Damien who took out Siervian’s escort, which was held at the Empress’s Palace.
The Empress, who later found out about it, did not get angry with the Crown Prince.
That was just the start of her wariness of her son.
“Ho ho, Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness.”
“No, teacher. My father the king is correct. I also want Siervian to have a more relaxed childhood.”
“Heugh.”
At the words of his beloved disciple, the Lord shook his head as if he had enough of their love for the cute Siervian.
At that time, there was a fact that suddenly crossed Alderuan’s mind.
Though it was probably not as important as the last topic.
“Come to think of it, Lord of the magic tower, a disciple of yours gave Siervy a present.”
“Ah, you mean that poison-resistant ring? No matter how excited she was, it was easy to teach.”
The Crown Prince, who was talking to his teacher calmly, suddenly had a harsh but still face.
“A ring?”
“Yes, the magic of engraving spells on metal that I taught you a while ago.”
“Karmen, the ring? To Siervian?”
The Crown Prince repeated the same thing despite the explanation.
“Hmm.”
The Emperor expressed his displeasure with his crooked eyebrows.
“…”
Thanks to this scary behavior, the Lord, who was looking around the palace for no reason, realized, to be careful and watch out for jewelry like rings next time.
He can’t lose his bratty disciple like this.

Shortly after talking with the Lord of the magic tower, doctor Madeline visited the Imperial Palace.
It was thanks to the hard-working Ellie, who was communicating with her instead of Siervian.
[ Madeline ]
Occupation: Doctor (Lv. 89)
Favorability: 15,000
Thoughts: I-I-I-I-I finally came to the Palace. My hands are shaking. What should I do?
After entering the palace, Madeline and Siervian shook hands.
Siervian offered a warm tea, so there was even more to spill; but she couldn’t stand the furious shaking of hands.
“Settwle down…”
“I-I-I am very sorry, Hwa, Your Majesty, no, Your Highness.”
Madeline got up in a hurry and tried to knead her head on the floor now.
This forced Siervian to shake hands with Madeline’s violent nervousness again.
“Let’s twake a sit! a sit!”
“Yes, yes!”
It was so sudden about that time when the Court Doctor came to Madeline’s house.
At first, she was able to act absolutely in front of the Emperor because her focus was entirely on her daughter.
However, after coming to the Imperial Palace, everything changed.
“Is Anna okay now?”
“I can’t believe you even remember her name…!”
Madeline had calmed for a while, but began to sob again, shaking her shoulders.
Siervian, greatly embarrassed, looked at Ellie desperately wanting help.
“Now, now, Madeline. Princess looked very surprised. Please speak calmly.”
[ Ellie ]
Thoughts: Our Princess looks so pretty that it made someone cry now.
Looking at her thoughts, which looked seemingly unhelpful and vague, Siervian frowned with a perplexed expression at once.
She hadn’t even heard the reason why Madeline visited yet!
“Oh, Princes-, Princess, how kind of you…
Hoohuuhou–”
“Uung, Sebi didn’t do anythwing.”
Eventually, Ellie approached Madeline and patted her on the back.
Watching the scene, Siervian was relieved.
Seeing what was called grace, Anna seemed to be fine.
“Anna is now, sniff-, healthy.”
Fortunately, Madeline quickly came to her senses.
Subconsciously looking at the luxurious teacup, she forgot her manners in the Imperial Palace.
“That’s a welief. Thwank you for coming to tell me.”
It was only after hearing her own words that Siervian thought that Madeline had come all the way here to tell her this.
Madeline took a deep breath and raised her head, then something unsettling again occurred.
“Princess.”
“Yes.”
“I shall offer my life to you!”
[ Madeline ]
Thoughts: As for the one who saved my daughter, I need to pay with my life!
No, she doesn’t have to do that.
Slightly alarmed, Siervian looked at Ellie again.

Ellie was alerted by the signal and tapped Madeline on the shoulder again.
“Coming from the Princess, firstly, just be happy that Anna is safe, all right?”
“Yes, dwon’t mind about it.”
“How gracious of you! Hoohu–.”
Once Madeline showed signs of sobbing again, Siervian sprang to her feet.
