Black Haired King

"How's your body, Redius?"

"Yes, you've waited a month, so you can move it until about before you get hurt."

It's been a month since I woke up. Although I became Mr. Mistrea's provisional apprentice, there was no point in not being able to move at all, so he waited for me until I could move as much as before.

And now that I can mostly move, a week of tentative training begins today. In front of me, Mr. Mistrea. Next to it is Mr. Helenay. Looks like Mr. Helenay can help me with my training.

Lopo has a stretch and he's in the sun. He came to me earlier, and he felt like good luck, pounding my foot, and then he went to the sun and fell asleep. I've been pretty nostalgic for some reason in the past month. Mr. Helena said it was probably because it was the same black color.

"First of all, can Redius use magic before he starts training?

"Ah, yes. To the point of flushing it into your body."

And I strengthen myself. [M] It's the only magic move I can do.

"Hmm. Well, that's the place to start. Bye, Redius. First, I'll tell you about the basics."

"Involvement? Is it?

I ask Mr. Mistrare what I cannot hear.

"That's right. Well, do you call younger things physical enhancement these days? That's one of the things Ladyus is doing right now."

"I see."

"What Redius is doing unconsciously now is demonic armor. It spins its magic all over its body and increases its defense. But Redius' magic armor makes a difference between a place with lots of decor and magic and a place with little. If we don't even this out, we can do it in an instant when they're after less."

Oh, my God! Mr. Mistrea sees the magic I'm wrapping around. I wonder how you're looking at it?

"Mr. Mistrea! Can you see my magic?

"Oh, this is one of the entanglements. Well, that later, that demonic armor becomes the basis of all magic. Ask Redius to get this evenly across his body in a week."

Flush magic evenly into your body.... Isn't it hard? I thought it was flowing evenly in the atmosphere, but there is something slightly more conscious but different about the thickness of magic. And...

"It's thin here and here!

Mr. Mistrea's coming to cut the magical thin spot with his sword! Spa spa! And to the extent that it is cut lightly, but what hurts hurts hurts. He said the cut area was sore and focused on you.

"Redius! Let more magic go even! Well, then, you can do it right away!

and cut other areas where the magic has diminished. I see. Sure, if it's the son of a nobleman or something, maybe I don't like this kind of training. It just hurts. But I'm not giving up on this. Absolutely equalize your demonic armor in the past week and apprentice. To be strong.

"Well, I guess I'm used to school life."

It has been two months since I, Elicia Gremond, enrolled in the Royal School in Albasto, the King's capital. I'm spending the last two months in the dorm with Clena and Mia, the samurai who left your father and mother and came about me, but it's been hard getting used to life.

This school allows up to two samurai and deacons for every titled person. Thanks to that they brought the two of us here, but if they couldn't, they might not have gotten used to school yet.

With that in mind, I'm spending time alone in the dining room now. Because Krena is going to clean the room and Mia is going to pick up the baggage that arrived from her parents' house.

... Speaking of which, Redius, how are you? Redius also said he'd send me a letter when life settled, but it's already been two months.

He did say he was going to be an adventurer in the territory next to Gremond territory, in the county of Kentley's city of Reclium, so if you send me a letter from there, I'm supposed to be there in about two weeks.

"Huh. Wouldn't you like to come quick?"

and if you were sighing alone, there you are.

"What are you worried about, Elysia?

and approaching with a smile came Prince William Albust, the first prince of this country in one of my upper predecessors.

Behind it was Gramour Helmut, who is said to succeed his father's Knights of Helmut, accompanied by Ferience Testrant, son of Prime Minister Testrant and genius. Members as usual.

I met you when I enrolled in this school, but for some reason, this is how I talk to you. Even though I am only the eldest daughter of the Baron's family. Is it because I'm red-haired after all?... No, I'm worried about this. Because Redius is the one who struggles with the color of her hair.

I think so. I look around. Both Prince William and the other two have pretty neat faces, so the kids around them have to shade each other. Sure, maybe it's cool, but to me...

"Can I have this seat?

"Oh, yes, please come in"

I take my seat and wait for the prince to sit down. Because it would be rude to stay seated even though the prince came.

"There's nothing like that. Aren't you with me and Elicia?"

and Prince William smiling. I don't remember getting along that well. Besides, Prince William has a wife, Victoria, so you shouldn't see me too much.

"Please speak to Victoria for such words"

Prince William's face distorts when I say so. But it also returns to a refreshing look, as usual, in an instant.

"Well, that's not good enough. More than that, why were you sighing earlier? I'll talk to you if you don't mind."

"That's right. If some weird guy comes up to me, I'm gonna smash him in."

"Then I'll think of something I can't get on the table."

Riding on Prince William's words, Mr. Gramour and Mr. Ferrience say the same. I don't care if they beat up Redius or do something that doesn't make it to the surface.

"No, I was just thinking a little bit, so I'm fine. Now if you'll excuse me..."

"Dear Elysia!

You can hear me calling at the entrance to the dining room as I try to get up off the spot and leave my seat. When I looked at the entrance, my face turned bright blue, and mine looked like Mia running. And when I got to my side, I cried out.

"Duh, what's wrong, Mia? So hasty. And I can't believe I'm crying. Is something wrong?

"Yes, Mr. Germain sent me the package earlier, so I received it... That's..."

and Mia cries but gives me what she has in her hand. It's a long thin object wrapped in cloth. What the hell is it? And when you take it from Mia and you untie the cloth, it's...

"This..."

"Gu, uh, yes, that's the sword Mary sent to Lady Redius. The pattern shows the family crest of Baron Gremond's house as soon as the magic is shed."

I shed magic on the sword and confirmed that the family crest of the house did emerge there. I had no legs on the ground and lost my strength as I was floating.

"Dear Elysia!

Mia sat around, supported me, but more than that.

"How did your father get this!? How could your father?

"Looks like the arms dealer brought it to the mansion about a month ago. After passing the magic, the family crest appeared. When Master Germain confirmed what had happened to this sword, a group of men and women came to sell it to the weapons store.

The arms dealer also asked what happened because the pattern was bloody. He said he got the answer because he was dead when he came home... "

I was about to get dark in front of me. No, I don't! When I realized it, I was overflowing with tears. Redius.

"Wow, it's my fault. If I had held back harder. If I don't talk about adventurers...... wow!

I cried without worrying about the gaze around me. I couldn't stop crying if I thought I'd never see Redius again.
