Chapter 64.2

What? Hearing the familiar name, Yurina bit her lips tightly.

‘Oh yes. He’s a mage.’

Yurina soon realized.

In the past, when magic was underdeveloped, not as it is now, hunting was done using only practical weapons like swords, spears, and bows. But even now, the use of magic is forbidden in hunting competitions to honor the spirit of chivalry.

Instead of participating in the hunt directly, the mages create a magic circle to make sure the area around the villas is safe and stand guard in case of an emergency.

Whatever it was, Dave didn’t want to participate and said that he was tired of pointless squabbles with other mages. During this time, it would be better to conduct an extra experiment, and Dave stayed in the capital for the duration of the competition.

The Marquis De Flon was also trained in swordsmanship, as befits a nobleman, but he was basically a mage. When he was young, he led the knights of the family in tournaments, but now it would not be easy for him. This is probably why he stayed at the villa, not participating in competitions.

‘I don’t know why you need to see Curtis, but…’

Usually in these places nobles seek good luck, to whom the crown Prince is usually unattainable. In the case of the Marquis De Flon, he could see Curtis at any time in the capital.

‘Are you following other families?’

Well, it’s true.

Yurina decided not to pay much attention to the Marquis De Flon anymore.

“Who is this man?”

Yurina, who was watching Curtis leave, was startled by the sound from behind. There was an unexpected guest in front of her.

“Ray? When did you come?”

Raynard, who had been missing for several days now, approached Yurina with a wide stride. She was even more surprised to see his face.

“What is that purple color all of a sudden?”

His red eyes were purple now. Purple eyes are beautiful too, but Reynard now seemed a little strange to her, accustomed to seeing red eyes.

Raynard pointed to his eyes and laughed.

“It’s a secret that I’ve already returned. I changed it. If they don’t see my red eyes, they won’t think that I am me.”

“Right. Rumors of the Blessed One with Red Eyes had already spread throughout the Empire.”

Yurina looked into his eyes with a mysterious look. When she looked closely, it seemed that she still saw the red color.

“If you were thinking of changing it, couldn’t you choose a more common color? This is better than red, but purple will also attract attention.”

“I tried, but it only came out purple. If you forget about them for a while, then they will turn red again. It is said that red eyes are a symbol of the goddess. So there must be something in them that rejects the flow of mana.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard this. If Dave finds out, he will torture you with his curiosity.”

Raynard winced.

“However, I am glad that the young master didn’t come to this tournament. If he were here, he would be stuck in the lab again, researching new hunting magic.”

Yurina, who laughed, looked at his clothes this time. He wore the uniform of the Knights of Carthia. On his chest was an eagle with a sword, the crest of the Carthia family.

“Where did you find these clothes? When did you come?”

“I just arrived. Betsy gave me the clothes. By the way, who was that person?”

Raynard glanced at Curtis, who had already gone a long way.

“His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Crown Prince?”

Muttering the word ‘Prince’, he crossed his arms over his chest and lowered his head.

“What did he want from you? Isn’t that the one who invited you to the coming-of-age ceremony? You described to me in a letter.”

“Nothing special.”

“There are a lot of people here, but he was looking for you. And nothing special?”

“I think he just wanted to get to know you.”

Confused, he slightly raised his eyebrows. What was happening was no secret, so Yurina decided to be honest. It was also an issue that directly affected Reynard.

Raynard listened seriously to the brief retelling from Yurina. Yurina finished the story and added a final note.

“However, you can do as you wish.”

“And what do you think?”

“Me? Okay…”

Yurina gave the best answer she could give in this situation.

“Do what you want. Because I can’t control your life. But I hope you don’t mess with the Crown Prince, if possible.”

“No, I’m not talking about that.”

He stepped closer to Yurina. His shadow was now blocking out the sunlight and falling on Yurina’s head.

“What do you think of this Prince?”
