468 Malice and friendship are secretly one of

- In Irfena (Apostolic Perspective from Harvis)

... When I heard that, what the hell, I thought it was a joke.

"Princess Agnos tried to make His Royal Highness Elshon of Irfena a deceased"

I don't know what that means, and I can't help it if I'm frightened. In the first place, you don't have any contacts.

Our country also has a closed ethnicity, with little interaction with other countries. In such a situation, it is impossible to think of anything, such as a princess who has never stepped out of the country to get to know a prince from another country.

No, if it's possible to give up a hundred steps and only know your face?

His Highness Elshon is well known for his beauty and excellence, and even has a noisy nickname such as "Demon King". It's not strange to be intrigued and getting a portrait.

But the opponent is someone called the 'Demon King'.

The point is, there are feared beings. No matter how beautiful, will you admire it?

In the first place, many royalty have beautiful looks. Of course the family pattern, but because beauty is also an element desired by the royal family, inevitably such people are born.

He was one of those people, with Master Agnos. Because the faint beauty of her late mother is a factor in calling her 'Princess Spirit'.

... but dark blood sometimes brings misfortune.

That's... what they call 'blood starch'. Because royal marital partners are also important to their identity, it is inevitable that those close to blood will be chosen.

Especially in my closed country, 'blood starches' often came out. Body frailty, mental abnormality, and… talent, beauty, charisma that you have as if to make up for it.

If used well, they will be beneficial to the country. But if you misrespond... it becomes a disaster.

It was a well-known fact. However, because it is rare to be able to handle it, it will often be closed and secretly end its life.

Yet it seems that such a response was not taken by Master Agnos.

No, it must have been isolated and hidden to some extent. What was unexpected was the state of heart sickness among those around her?

Instead of 'monitoring Master Agnos for the sake of the country,' they said verbally, 'I was beside him to fulfill Master Agnos' wishes.

I thought when I heard that. "Is this the charm of [the starch of blood]?".

He who has "the starch of blood" is afloat and, to put it well, very pure. With the addition of a beautiful appearance there will be some who think they exist like spirits.

Dominant classes such as royalty and nobility are the whirling magic of the malice of many. From those who belonged to such a world, perhaps its purity seemed radiant.

- But its' purity 'sometimes becomes the worst poison.

To put it plainly, it's the same as a child's innocence. The 'cruelty' that causes creatures to suffer without malice and to die because they do not know the weight of life.

Because of their unique values and because of their imprisoned nature in common sense, those with 'blood starches' sometimes had an extraordinarily cruel side to peek at. Therefore, they hide their existence.

The king can't possibly not know that.

Because of that assumption, no one wanted the isolation of Master Agnos. 'I guess the [blood starch] is mild enough to deal with it somewhat'!

Is that... the murder of a prince from another country? In contrast, I'm not guilty at all. So...!?

... Isn't it obviously an anomaly? There is no excuse for not noticing, etc., more than the damage has been done.

Those who used to laugh about the queen who often complained to His Majesty, "Are you even jealous of the deceased side room", etc., would be pale in their faces. Because I'm one of those people who took her words lightly.

The queen was right. It was us who were stupid.

Many of the harsh words are not 'women', but because of their position as' queens'.

There were few queens on her side asking for reform on the way the country was, and her opinions were neglected by the majority of nobles. I guess those things also led to taking her words lightly.

But now it's just an excuse. It was only a little too late to admit that the Queen's words were correct.

"Let me show you to the garden that was the site of the raid."

A gentle smile told him that it was the vice-knight captain. Even with that calm expression and relief on his material waist, he instantly realized that his eyes behind his glasses were not laughing and made his face tense.

"At that time, His Highness Elshon was with Rudolph, who would be revealed as king of a neighbouring country. You two have been friends for a long time, and His Highness Elshon himself has sheltered Master Rudolph, saying, 'I do not intend to hold Irfena responsible for this raid'".

"That's... you're lucky"

"Yeah. At the same time, I'm proud. Our country and Zebrast are good neighbors."

... that is, 'the more we are allowed to do that, the more we are being cordial'. 'The [country] called [Zebrast] was convinced'. Never, it would be the king's discretion.

I hear Zebrast was rough until a few years ago. Perhaps, His Highness Elshon helped in some way with the rebuilding of the country.

Otherwise, Zebrast will remain silent. It is true that 'I put myself in danger of the king', because if I say that I am responsible for Irfena, which I failed to protect.

"Yeah, well, did you know that about a year ago our country protected people from different worlds? The otherworlder... Mizuki, she's a hard worker, isn't she? We can now use magic in our own way."

... to a sudden shift in topic, lean your neck. But the knight ignored my confusion and kept talking at will.

"But that's how she realizes that it was only with the help of those around her that she became who she is today. He is a child who returns favors more than that to his courtesy. Because she's like that, there may be people around her who have been helped as friends."

I see, that's the rumored magician. A stranger's wizard, that he led the troubles of other countries to a solution so much that he could be nicknamed "The Convicted Wizard."

I don't know about him, but if I just look at action, I won't be perceived as a 'disaster in the world'. Apparently, not only has he achieved quite a great feat, but he has also earned the title of 'Magic Instructor' from using his own magic.

Thinking that far, I realized that the man in front of me was in restraint. "Ilfena has a magician" - you wanted to smell that fact before we discussed it.

"Although my friends are from other countries... I don't seem to see them very often. In the first place, that child, who is a otherworldly man, is basically only allowed to act in and around the cavalry where his guardian lives. The residence is also a room in the knight's dorm, right? Most importantly, we are very helpful because he understands the need."

"You don't want freedom, do you?

"He's a smart kid. 'If heresy behaves on its own, it becomes someone's responsibility issue'. He's a child who can detect the dangers of knowledge that other people bring, even if they don't say so."

"Oh my..."

If you honestly reveal your surprise, the knight laughed proudly somewhere. I guess he adores her himself because emotions were drawn to mercy on the word savings.

Speaking of which, he said, 'The magician lives in a cavalier dorm'. I thought you were being cordial with the sorcerers, but apparently, the knights, who have a lot of opportunities to deal with them from day to day, are also close.

But it seems the knight wasn't willing to end up with such public discourse. His show of command was coming up.

"And His Highness Elshon is the one who most adores her"

... I thought the time had stopped.

"It is natural that people from different worlds even have different common sense, and when it comes to this world, the baby is the same. It is His Royal Highness Elshon, his guardian, who guides her most, educates her on what she needs, and plans to be as free as possible."

"Ha... so enthusiastic by then, is...?

"Yeah. For the first time in too much overprotection, it's enough to say, 'Parent cat hiding kitten under belly,' or 'loving parent cat and nostalgic kitten'. Well, this also affects Mizuki's nostalgia. He's a really good friend. He's a cat parent."

Cat. Treat royalty as a cat. Moreover, His Highness Elshon is a 'loving parent cat' and if you are from another world, a 'kitten admiring a parent cat'.

……

I can't figure out what that means. In the first place, you can't normally be in "Friendly Guardians and Interworlds"?

The knight looks at my confusion in an interesting way. Even though I accidentally cough up and fix it, there was a 'something' rooted in me that I didn't know how to handle.

It means something more than bothering to make me talk like this... no, it definitely leads to elements that do damage to me.

Before that, this knight, at first glance, showed a friendly attitude, but his eyes are still not laughing.

What, what's ahead of this conversation? What the hell does this guy want to teach me...?

"Oh, rumors..."

The knight turned his face, and said there would be a garden to guide him - the site of this raid.

I thought it was off-limits, and there were several tables there, and a few seemed to enjoy tea swallowing.

Following a knight who would not stop walking, I also proceeded with my legs… eventually complaining about the appearance of "those who enjoy tea for swallowing", which I was able to clearly confirm.

"Hey, why..."

"Oh, is something wrong?

A knight turned me around so as to fit me, who stopped.

"Why are there so many people from other countries!?

You noticed me raising a voice close to screaming, 'They' turned to me.

Even those who wear knightly clothes alone can discern the four kingdoms of Baraksin, Corbella, Quivera and Sarovara. But the rest of us don't seem to be in the country either.

Deepening his grin at me confused, the knight walked over to them and thanked them.

"I beg your pardon for the pleasure. Harvis, the messenger who teased me would like to see the scene of this raid."

"Sure, that's necessary. I'm sorry we got in the way."

"No. It's not like you're visiting Mizuki more than you are. There is no choice but to make the Tea Party a cavalry or garden where His Highness Elshon is forgiven."

... I mean, does that all mean 'The Wizard's Guest'? But no matter how you look at it, it's like there's a multitude of noblemen mixed together.

You perceived my perplexity, the man you were answering earlier? turned his gaze to this one.

"Oh, excuse me without saying hello. My name is Celian Orcott and I am an assistant prime minister in Carlosa."

With that in mind, the remaining faces begin to be named one after the other.

"Then we should call ourselves names, too. It's Shuanze, the second prince of Gania. This is my squire, Rafik."

My name is Rafik.

"It's Levins, the third prince of Barraksin. Hilda, my queen, has made me sincere with the wizard's master."

"My name is Glenn Darris from Alberda. The king's right arm, it's called. Is that easier to understand?"

"It's Celestina, Princess of Corbella"

"My name is Emma. I'm a samurai with Princess Celestina, but I'm from the Marquis."

"I'm Cyrus, Kibera's Kingsguard knight. In the life of Lord Lucas, we are visiting the Master of Magic."

"My name is Vais Evienis from Sarovara. I'm a Duke, but I'm proud of being a knight myself, so don't worry about it."

"Nah..."

I don't have a lot of words for you. It was so unexpected.

It can be said that their concern for me is that they have spoken of their position and identity. But if you look behind you, you can also accept it as' deliberately revealing your position and making it a disincentive to me '.

You won't be able to blame Harvis because you'll be convinced of both.

"You all... why are you here...?

Gradually, when they only speak of it, they look at each other. And as if to represent him, Carlossa's assistant prime minister opened his mouth.

"We are little girls... I know a child you call the 'Magic Master'. My friend, the Lord is gracious, we have fought together... well, we know each other differently, but we are close to the point of visiting occasionally."

"I am visiting at the behest of Mr. Lucas… well, I am a friend of mine who personally exchanges letters with each other"

"Oh... she was in Kivera the other day, wasn't she?

"It's that ex-post report. Lord Mage is basically not involved until the details of the case. It's Lucas' kindness to teach him more than just being an associate."

I talk almost, but its content is not something to be spoken lightly about. Because it's a scandal in my country, and it's a weakness.

But they don't care at all, they're flat out. You noticed that you were wondering about it, until then the silent knight opened his mouth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fact that Mizki and His Highness Elshon helped me is on the brink, and you're all dating as friends. This is all the more so because it's a topic I remember. Mizuki has been back here this time, and she visited me..."

- Oh, my God, the timing seemed 'good', huh?

As soon as I heard that word, the worst possibility passed my head. Connection with people, trust between nations... I felt like something Harvis had been turning away from at once, peeling his fangs off.
