Extra 04: Rosalia 03

Salomon de Valverde became a Marquis in the Belbe Kingdom at the young age of thirty. He is the second cousin of the current King of the Belbe Kingdom, the Kings advisor and an excellent general who has pushed back the Tomis Ashinaqui army on the frontline and a good uncle to Rosalia.

Rosalia had been looking at some books with a grim expression on her face, but she brightened up when the maid told her that her uncle was coming.

Uncle! Ive been expecting you.

Hey, Rosalia. I rushed here from the frontlines when I heard you had asked for me.

It was the truth. Salomon had watched Rosalia grow up since she was born and loved her like a daughter. Salomon rode his horse with all his might for the first time in a long time after having been summoned by this lovely girl.

Oh! I heard that Uncle is in command of the frontline. Is it alright for you to leave?

Of course, Ive been doing my job well.

That was a lie. This man forced all his work onto his subordinates. Right now, the command centre on the frontlines was filled with agonising cries.

However, this man assessed the abilities of each of his subordinates and distributed just enough work for them to do as long as they work hard and came to the capital after concluding that Tomis Ashinaqui would not invade as they were focusing on helping the Theanabe Union.

He was an excellent person even though he mixed his private and public affairs a bit. Although, he is lenient on his relatives and sometimes misuses his excellence for the sake of his relatives. However, his relatives are the King and Princess, so in a sense, it could be said that he is extremely loyal.

So, why did you ask for me? Do you need me to do something for you?

Yes, Uncle.

Rosalia lifted the thick book that she had been staring at earlier.

I want you to teach me magic.

It was unbelievable. The rumours about Carmine said that he is a foolish Emperor, a coward, selfish, a puppet and that he is still unable to use magic.

Yes. Ive actually never seen him use it before, but he can! There must be a reason why hes hiding it.

Incidentally, Rosalia also had the aptitude to become a mage. But her magic education hasnt been considered important due to her position as Princess. Its also important to note that there is a sealing magic tool in the palace even though the palace is poor.

Hmm. But if you say you need it, then you need it.

Salomon believes that Rosalia is intelligent for her age even though he may be a nepotistic person. It was possible that Emperor Carmine could use magic since she said he could.

(Do I need to look into this? No, I cant risk Rosalia getting suspicious of me. I guess Ill just wait and see.)

Like most Belbe aristocrats, King Belbe disapproves of Rosalia and Camines engagement, partly because he doesnt trust Carmine, but mostly because he loves his daughter. He began to think that there was no need to force her to marry Carmine now that the Kingdom wasnt being attacked by Tomis Ashinaqui.

Salomon, on the other hand, approves of this engagement, but he believes that he has to make her Carmines first wife at all costs for her happiness. It was normal for emperors to have several consorts, and some even lay their hands on maids. He wanted Rosalia in a position where she could control them all, no matter what.

Although Carmina had no intention of marrying anyone else other than Rosalia at that time.

Got it. Ill teach you magic starting from today.

Thank you, Teacher!

Salomon beamed at Rosalias bright smile.

(Cute I have to make her his first wife no matter what. And if he makes Rosalia sad then I cant let him live.)

At the same time, a certain Emperor was struck by sudden trembles.
