Chapter 122

‘It’s noisy...’

Ruid woke up amid the noise.

Charlotte was on her knees with her hands up, and Amelia was fidgeting.

“Are you awake?”

“...huh.”

Ruid stood up, scratching his messy hair.

“Kang!”

The fox ran up to Ruid and licked his cheek.

I finally come to my senses.

‘right. ‘Yesterday...’

Ruid crossed over to the first defense line through the gate.

However, students who should have stayed after arriving were nowhere to be seen.

Since it was a combination of Amelia and Charlotte, I didn’t think it would go smoothly, but I never thought it would even arrive.

I had no choice but to call Miho, and while she was ignoring me, I was transferred to the place where the ‘First Emperor’s Tomb’ was located.

“Louis is lovely even as a familiar.”

For your information, Victoria liked Miho very much.

Well, to northerners, arctic foxes are recognized as ‘animals that bring good luck.’

More than anything, it’s cute.

“By the way, mama. “Why is Charles kneeling?”

“I don’t know.”

Victoria looked like she really didn’t know.

Charlotte awkwardly raised her head.

“Choi, you are expressing the utmost obedience.”

“That’s right.”

“I see.”

“...I.”

Amelia cautiously opened her mouth.

“Um, no. “What are you doing here?”

‘Are you still embarrassed?’

Amelia was in timid mode.

He was rubbing the tips of his fingers together and looking at Victoria’s eyes.

As expected, my second older sister is cute.

“Luid wants to see the historical site.”

“okay. Louis. “You shouldn’t bother the head of the house.”

“At least I didn’t cry.”

“Phew.”

“...?”

Amelia glared at Charlotte with a straight face.

Charlotte turned her head and whistled.

But I didn’t know how to whistle, so all I could hear was a blown sound.

“You seem to be quite the older sister.”

Victoria looked at Amelia with warm eyes.

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have sent Louis to the institutional system.”

Amelia responded with a bright red face.

“Thank you...”

“It’s not a compliment.”

“yes.”

Amelia, who looked like she was about to wag her tail at any moment, lost all momentum.

I felt a little sorry for her, but... I’m glad she’s her usual Amelia.

“And, it is impossible for Windsor, who should always light the way ahead, to wander astray.”

Amelia became completely sullen. No, it went beyond that and looked depressed.

“...sorry.”

“Isn’t it time to understand the entire geography of the North? The successor is Irene, but your successor status has not yet been taken away. “Try to catch up with your sister even just a little bit...”

The number one thing you should not do to your child.

Compare with other families!

Even Ruid, who lived a miserable life as an unemployed person, knew that.

‘If this continues, my family will break up.’

Ruid, for whom happiness was the number one priority in life, did not want discord within his family.

However, providing cover here has a negative effect.

Who would enjoy having their younger sibling put up a shield?

That only creates more misery.

So, Ruid suggested the best solution.

“mama.”

“Are you hungry?”

Victoria’s mood changed from cold to icy in an instant.

He caressed Luid’s cheek with a friendly face.

“no. “I want to show you my assistant.”

“So then.”

Ruid grabbed Victoria’s hand and dragged her away.

Victoria had a happy expression.

Before leaving the barracks, Ruid looked back.

Amelia looked at the floor, lost in thought.

‘I’m having strange thoughts again.’

“Ame noona.”

“Yes.”

Amelia looked at Lloyd in surprise.

“I like my older sister the best.”

“...!”

“So, cheer up. “I will support you.”

After Ruid finished saying that, he rushed off.

...I was a little embarrassed.

**

“You’ve already become a person who knows how to be considerate of others.”

Victoria thought Ruid was just amazing.

Thinking of my sister, I thought that she knew how to say nice things and that she had grown up a lot.

He is playing the role of the youngest and he couldn’t be more adorable.

But-

‘If it’s a cliché, if I do something wrong, it’ll move, right?’

Ruid blinked and got down from Victoria’s arms.

“This place...?”

“It’s a historic site, Ella. “Your mission today is to perform well here.”

‘To be exact, to Victoria.’

If he wasn’t recognized by Victoria, there was nothing he could do about it.

But I thought it couldn’t be that way. Ella is a genius magical girl who would surprise even herself.

“Ah, yes. “Can I open this door?”

Victoria spoke in a grave tone.

“Uneasy. “It’s built with precision equipment, so if you touch anything wrong, you’ll never be able to enter.”

“Yes, I will be careful.”

There was a stone slab stuck in the center of the door, with unfamiliar letters written on it.

Ella looked around with curious eyes.

“There is writing. Unfortunately, it’s a language I don’t know.”

“It’s an ancient language. It says, ‘Is this a blessing or a curse?’”

“Isn’t it originally ‘Is this a curse or a blessing?’”

“You figured it out, Louis. right. But it’s written the other way around. “It is the only clue that can open this door.”

Victoria stroked Luid with a happy face.

‘It’s simple.’

Ruid yawned and rubbed his eyes.

I already knew how to open that door.

With the 5th magic, you can return to a time when that door didn’t exist.

‘But then it wouldn’t be fun.’

For some reason, I didn’t want to foul this romantic space.

Ruid hoped that Ella would solve the problem nicely.

“It’s good to want to show off your assistant, but Louis, I think the problem is too difficult.”

Victoria spoke calmly.

“Even the team that brought together various wizards and explorers to the highest level could not find even the slightest clue. “All I found was that it was ‘excessively dangerous.’”

“Ah, I found it.”

“If Louis is a genius, he will figure it out easily, but other people will never...”

“I guess it’s like this.”

“?”

Ruid grinned.

Ella turned the stone slab in the opposite direction.

Grumble!

The door vibrated with the sound of gears turning.

Crumbs of plaster fell from the huge door, and Victoria’s pupils twitched slightly.

“Well, Ella is a genius.”

Ruid looked up at Victoria with triumphant eyes.

‘uh?’

Beyond Victoria, who was quite embarrassed, something foreign appeared.

The knight statue, which was clearly looking straight ahead

, had turned its head and was looking at them.

Victoria seemed to have noticed too and put the sword in her hand. However, since it was a historic site, there seemed to be a moment of hesitation.

“mama. “Wait a moment.”

Ruid pointed to Ella.

Ella was lying down on the floor, writing down a formula using magic.

“There is some magic in this cavity. To interpret it, it is a magic that moves the statues on both sides. There are two orders, one demanding blood and the other demanding answers.”

Ella’s hands became faster. The statue raised its huge sword high in the sky.

Victoria closed her eyes while holding the sword. I could feel Victoria’s magic spreading faintly.

‘This is Mama’s power.’

To Ruid, it felt like the statue had already been broken.

“The statue’s blade is also enchanted. If the blood does not match the pre-entered blood, the ruins will automatically collapse. Of course, this also applies if the statue is damaged.”

Victoria was unmoved.

Ruid could tell. It’s the tomb of the first emperor, and if it’s damaged, it will be immediately destroyed.

But the statue did not move, holding its sword high in the sky.

Ella stood up.

“Magic has priorities. “Of the two inputs, the one given priority was ‘the answer to the question.’ Using that, I changed the formula to skip the procedure of requesting blood and have the statue choose the more important one.”

As soon as Ella finished speaking, the statue put down its sword.

[Chosen one.]

[Welcome.]

It was an unpleasant voice.

Ruid was simply amazing.

Victoria seemed to do the same as she opened her eyes and looked blankly at Ella.

[Then I will ask-]

[Is it a curse or a blessing?]

[What is the ‘it’ you are talking about here?]

Ella spoke without a single hesitation.

“Eternal life.”

[Go in.]

[Go in.]

The statue stopped moving and-.

Kugugu-.

The door began to open by itself.
