Chapter 112

Episode 112

The crown prince looked at me with eyes full of expectation.

There was no doubt on his face that there would be an invitation from him.

I couldn’t say no to that face.

If he hadn’t contacted me, I could have given it to him with the excuse that he was busy.

If you contact them like this and ask them to give you an invitation too, that excuse becomes meaningless.

-Why can’t I speak? Could it be that I don’t have it? I was so clueless.

Did you finally find out that? I was frustrated because I couldn’t express these feelings.

“It can’t be. “I’m ready.”

-okay? That’s nice. So you’re coming to the royal family this time, right?

“You mean the royal family?”

– Are you really saying that you won’t come? Were you trying to send it as a magic message? Are you really saying that you won’t come in person to give the invitation to your close friend?

“....”

I clenched my fists in an unseen place as I watched him pouring out words as if shooting a gun.

“Of course I have to go. “I was going to go even if you didn’t tell me.”

When I spoke with a smile, he nodded with satisfaction.

-I’m looking forward to it coming. The time has finally come when I can spend time with close friends. i love it.

With a satisfied smile, he turned off the communication.

-Why are human faces like that? It feels like I chewed shit.

I have to go there again. Just imagining it made me irritated.

Just visiting the crown prince would draw the attention of the royal family there.

I’m starting to wonder if he’s trying to get me into trouble.

“What is life like?”

As I was about to get up and leave, the light came on again in the communication port.

-Oh, I forgot something.

“...?”

The crown prince said after reconnecting the communication.

-Come with Daria when you bring the invitation.

“yes? “Why did Princess Daria suddenly...”

I couldn’t answer this hastily.

When it came to the first princess, I couldn’t do anything carelessly.

Since the count gave permission, I had no authority.

Above all, there was no reason for me to drag him along when he said he didn’t like it.

“I guess I can’t decide that.”

-why?

“I doubt whether Princess Daria will want it, and I need the Count’s permission.”

-There is no reason for Daria to refuse, so I guess I can just ask the Count for permission... Wait a moment.

He cut off communication.

And after a while, the crown prince’s face brightened as he reconnected.

-The Count also gave permission, so don’t worry. Then I’ll see you then.

I let out a deep sigh as I saw the crown prince saying only what he wanted to say and then cutting off contact.

How do you explain this to the princess?

“I don’t know anymore.”

I gave up thinking.

***

Before I went to deliver the invitation, I went to see William.

If he had something to tell me urgently, he would call me.

“What’s going on?”

“It is said that a strange phenomenon is occurring in the North.”

William, who was sitting across from me as he put the car down in front of me, opened his mouth with a serious look on his face.

“What is this phenomenon? “This is not the first time the North has shown a strange appearance.”

“It looked different than before. “It is said that the monsters are gathered together and howl at the same time at regular intervals.”

“That’s weird?”

There was nothing too strange.

It wasn’t just a day or two that the monsters in the north started showing abnormal behavior.

“Monsters from the desert and forest were gathered in one place.”

“what?”

For a moment, I thought I had heard wrong.

What’s coming together now?

“It is said that they do not show their teeth to each other and just cry around the center of the mountain range.”

“That’s...”

It’s definitely strange.

“Yes. But what’s even more amazing is that these guys and the second prince are connected.”

“Good research. Just keep doing it like you do now.”

“thank you.”

“okay. “I have something to do, so I’m going to go.”

William caught me as I stood up.

“I heard you are going to the royal family.”

“uh. But why?”

“Beware of Prince 2.”

“know. “You have to be careful with that guy.”

“no. That’s not what I meant. Prince 2 is showing signs of trying to recruit Raymond. And how to do it when you say no.”

“...okay.”

I was already expecting many things to happen from the moment I had to go to the royal palace.

There won’t be much difference if the 2nd prince is included.

Because I have decided what I will answer them.

“And you don’t have to worry about me. “Because there is no one safer than me.”

-It’s too dark in here! I want to go out!

Because there is a dragon next to me.

***

On the way to the Magic Tower to deliver an invitation to Beatrice.

The Mercenary King was looking at me with a dissatisfied expression, as if there was something he didn’t like.

I was looking at him so intently that my cheeks felt hot.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Do I really have to go? “If you go, we won’t be able to spar!”

I know you’re dissatisfied with not being able to spar, but is that something you should yell at?

“Then let’s go together. “I don’t mind if you come with me.”

When I go to the royal palace with him, I feel at ease.

With the sword master by my side, it may be difficult for the royal family to approach me.

I was able to come back more comfortably.

“Is that okay?”

“yes. That’s okay... but instead, you have to go and follow what I say. “It’s better if you stay quiet.”

The Mercenary King’s face brightened.

Then he approached the gate.

The Count stopped him.

“Nothing good will happen if you go.”

“Why are you making a fuss? “Raymond gave permission!”

“If we go together, we will meet Bane.”

“Oh sir...!”

As soon as he heard Count Warrug’s name, he swore and stepped back.

“I’m not going! Never go! “Why am I meeting that dull bastard?”

The mercenary king reacted violently and ran away.

I was taken aback by the sight, and when I looked back at the count, he said he didn’t know anything and gestured.

“Princess, let’s go. “Then I’ll be back.”

The princess stepped up to the gate with me and light enveloped us.

My vision became white and my vision changed.

“Are you here? Mr. Raymond.”

“Beatrice is inside.”

“I will guide you!”

The wizards who had been waiting in advance clamored to take me with them.

-Oh mana is abundant! There’s a strong one over there!

The hatchling, who had come to the Magic Tower for the first time, was amazed by everything and twirled around.

‘That’s bullshit.’

I touched my forehead at the image of wizards fighting and shouting at each other, and hatchlings flying among the wizards.

“I will go alone.”

I have no intention of wasting time.

After sending out the invitations, there were many things to do for the banquet.

So I will just give you an invitation and come back right away.

“Oh no. Wait! “I will guide you...!”

Leaving behind the urgently shouting wizards, he took the princess and headed to a place where Beatrice was likely to be.

“Oh, it’s Raymond!”

“hello!”

Unlike before, when they ignored me, now the magic apprentices were anxious to talk to me.

I passed those guys and headed to Beatrice’s private space.
