Chapter 169
C169
"By the way, things in the world become unpredictable all the time.
Although I was the one who improved the formula, I couldn't use it in practice, so I was implicitly ignored.
Fortunately, while I was eating only the copyright fees alone, I got very excited when I discovered the possibility that I could use a formula.
So, after Thanksgiving, I stayed in my room all the time, researching divine magic until I reached the point where I could fight against Isidor.
"You would lose to me in nine out of ten duels. I can use any amount of attack-type magic using my divine power, regardless of my magic class."
While smiling and bragging, Isidor ruffled my hair slightly.
"I'll have to be nervous next time. But... do I have to keep fighting with you in the future?"
He asked with a slightly dejected expression.
"It's a joke. I won't do it."
Maybe a puppy threatened by its owner's attack would make that kind of expression.
"I always feel that the princess's jokes are not funny."
"Aren't you attacking your lover too much?"
"The princess was trying to hit my bones."
He grumbled, put on the vest he had taken off for a while to compete with me, straightened his clothes, and put on his glasses again.
"I'm sorry every time, but this style is really good."
Normally, I don't like glasses very much, but it was because of the outfit he made; it had an intellectual charm.
The changing atmosphere and appearance, according to the clothes and hairstyles, were so interesting that I kept looking at him in amazement.
"Isidor."
"Hmm?"
"How about a joke like this?"
I reached for his glasses again, and Isidor raised an eyebrow disapprovingly.
"It's still not fun-..."
I quickly took off his glasses and covered his pouting mouth.
Isidor tightened my waist and hugged me, biting my lower lip several times while letting out a small laugh.
"I guess you found out what I secretly looked forward to."
"Were you expecting something? I had no idea."
"Probably, you don't know how excited I was to hear that the princess would come to the place where I live."
He closed the dressing room door, next to the gym, and slid his lips several times over my neck.
The bold movement of his hand, coveting my body, made my breath quicken, and my toes curled slightly.
----------------------
"It's a mess."
After a while, I shook my messy hair and rubbed my flushed right cheek.
"It's just beautiful."
He spoke savagely while licking his red-stained lips, and I returned to the living room after spending the last moments with him.
This is because a crack occurred on the estate near the south coast.
Apparently, the monsters had been eliminated by the Visconti soldiers, but Isidor prepared to leave the capital to deal with the damage situation, and I returned home, struggling to suppress my anxiety.
"What was the purpose of creating the crack this time? Or is it just a crack created to cause chaos without a clear intention, like the cracks that have occurred in various parts of the empire?"
It was still unclear who was behind this, so it gave me a headache.
Currently, we are investigating the movements of Marquis Franois, but if he uses an installed magic circle, as I did when I entered Blanchia, it would be difficult to determine the specific location of the leader.
Even if I ran to the place he was going, it would be enough to immediately close the basement where the magic circle is, so it practically made no sense to follow him.
Wizards must move in a very sophisticated way because their identity is a matter directly related to life.
"My head hurts."
In the midst of this, I can say that I am very fortunate to be able to use divine magic.
Inhaling, I stopped thinking and prepared the material to present at the forum.
I thought it would be better if I focused on something else, but my mind kept getting more and more distracted.
I stared endlessly at the starry night sky.
--------------------------
The forum organized by Marquis Debion took place in the Imperial Library building in the Horun District.
It was a building with an ancient and profound style, so it was quite pleasant to look at.
As soon as I appeared, Marquis Debion walked to the front.
"Princess Deborah. It's here. I've wanted to see you in person for a long time. I am very glad that you attended."
"Pleased to meet you. Marquis Debion."
"You don't know how honored I am to have been able to help the Princess in such a meaningful charitable work. Come this way. I have prepared a separate place for the princess."
When I entered the building, the eyes of the people sitting in the seats inside the library seemed focused on me.
It wasn't like there was a suffocating silence as before, but people still struggled with me for my impression and background, and I really didn't hate it.
"It's good to look strong."
I sat in the front seat designated by the marquis, and after a while, the seats began to fill one by one with scholars from each field.
"Hello. Princess Deborah."
I was startled when someone suddenly spoke to me.
"When I heard that Princess Deborah was leading a summit, I thought it was really cool. Count Ollit's family is a family business, and thanks to the Princess, I also gained the courage to start a summit. I'm sure you're very busy, but I would appreciate it if you could attend Count's party later."
"Oh, yes. Of course."
Although she seemed nervous, her eyes were full of passion, so I let myself be carried away without realizing it, and when I replied that I would, she started talking about various things.
"What?"
I was a little bewildered because it was the first time I received countless handshake requests.
"The halo of the Prime Minister is really amazing."
While thinking that I should continue to get along well with that man in the future, a policy presentation started in front of the audience.
At that moment.
Kruaang-!
I was trying to stifle a yawn when suddenly a sound like thunder rang out.
