Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"Thank you very much, Lord Theodore, and all of you"

"Give my regards to His Highness Stephania, too"

"Okay. I will certainly tell you."

The Knights Commander and the Sorcerer are greeted with their most salutations.

"I'd really like to welcome the territory."

Mrs Belinda said unfortunately.

"I still have a lot to do over there...... right. I'm also concerned about the hot springs on Mount Tefra, so I'll come back to see you when I'm free."

"Be sure to come out. That's when we'll have a welcome seat."

"Hot springs have a good place in the mountains. Let me show you around."

Marquis Gilbolt and Tefra smile.

"Yeah. Absolutely."

"If anything goes wrong, if the witch prays to the Moon Goddess, we can sense it, too. You can go through Tefra, though."

"Okay."

Marquis Jilbolt nods at Claudia's words. I'm handing Tefra a comm, so if there's anything unusual in the mountains, we should be able to detect this one.

"What about Tefra?

"I'll let you take a walk in the mountains. I'll relax a little and then I'll come back and see you."

"Copy that. I'll pick you up at the ceremony if you hear from me."

"Uhm. Bye."

Tefra nodded satisfactorily, flying into the sky towards the mountains.

We'll be back, too.

"Yes, I look forward to inviting you to the theater"

After sending such a greeting with the Marquis of Gilbolt, he returns to the ritual site with Claudia's transfer magic.

- Welcome back.

"Yeah, I'm home"

The Alfreds were drinking tea in the East Room.

Old Siegmund sent Claudia a glance for a moment, but he didn't ask about the circumstances, as he told King Melvin would be present to talk to him as well.

I don't know if I care about Claudia's background just because I have metastatic magic and so on as knowledge. Sophisticated and highly identifiable.

"Sorry for the delay in explaining"

"Hmm. I don't mind. Because there are many things that we should be careful to reveal to Silvatoria as well. Verdogal has a long history, too."

Old Siegmund laughed bitterly when he said so.

Well. Even this evening the dragon cage with the fathers will arrive.

I have to do what I have to do before I do that. If you send the Marquis of Zilbolt, the next step is Mallane's demon contract.

"Mallane. Thank you for waiting."

And when he spoke, Mallane grinned and took the falcon, approaching for a small run.

"Marie, give me the catalyst."

"Yes."

Remove the ceremonial catalyst silver plates from the magic bag.

Use the altar of the ritual hall to proceed with the contractual ritual. Unlike when I summoned Lavine before, the falcon of the magical creature does not need to build a junction because it has been known from the beginning to be submissive. Fill the silver plate with water and proceed with the ritual as it reflects the ceiling ball diagram.

"Mallane. Do you remember the procedure?

Mallane holds a ceremonial fine sword and nods. Across the altar and across from the falcon...... drain blood in the water. I closed my eyes once and breathed heavily before looking straight at the falcon, and the chant spun with a clear voice from her mouth.

"I hereby show you my name, give you my name, and make a long covenant."

The chant wasn't a little too much, but the wording is solid. Immerse your fingertips in the water mirror and Mallane continues the wording.

"My name is Mallane-Vulkadil-Foblester. Your name is… Eclair."

The moment I called my name, the falcon - Ecclair shouted out.

Yeah. Looks like we got a contract.

Eclair flies around Mallane happily, then lands to say hello and drools his head over Mallane.

"Good day, Mallane"

When Claudia speaks that way with a calm look, Mallane turns to you, smiles happily, and hugs Claudia.

"Nice to meet you, Eclair"

Grace says. When Eclair arrives in front of Grace, he moves his wings to praise the gentleman with his hands on his hips.

Travel around and say hello to each and every one who stays on the spot to jump lightly on the ground. He came in front of me and thanked me.... Sounds pretty intelligent.

"Okay. Eclair got a proper name too... shall we go back to the East Room and slow down"

When I tell everyone as I retrieve the tools I used for the ritual, I nod and get out of the ritual hall.

"Dear Theodore,"

And that's where Ashley has spoken.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"My grandfather has contacted the comms machine. I think I should let you know what's going on."

Hmm. Now let me show you Ashley's comms. Here's what happened there.

'Master Elliot's fiancée is here. He wants to accompany you, would you mind?

...... oh. Really? I guess that's the story of a previous Baron Siln, or Ashley's father, lifted where he was alive... but if he was supposed to be the heir, it's not surprising that Elliot's fiancée was also decided.

"Brother Elliot's fiancée hasn't been asked much about it by his grandfather, and I can't remember... If we're going to talk about Baron Sirn's territory, I don't know if we can avoid it."

"Sure. You can't just not talk about it."

As far as not saying in the past that Kennel was also my fiancée, I guess the person is still unmarried today.

Elliot was seen dead in a ship accident, so I guess he didn't tell Ashley the details. That was probably Kennel-like compassion, but it also doesn't mean that if Elliot were to be alive, it would be null and void.

"Mr. Elliot, would you like a little?

and tell the person what's going on. I reacted a little surprised when I told him that Kennel was asking me if I wanted to bring Elliot's fiancée, but I immediately put my expression back on.

"So... would you tell Kennel to take you?

"Okay."

Nodding. Ashley contacts Kennel to that effect on a telecom.

"Can you tell us what kind of person you are if I don't tell you?

"... right. She says Camilla. She was a retired knight's warrant... when my father was traveling through the realm, he asked Camilla's father to join him where demons attacked him in the nearby woods. The benefactor invited her to the banquet, and when she made her fiancée my fiancée in that seat, she said the conversation had come to an end."

"Were you..."

Did I just say that I would be the daughter of a celebrity in the realm? What happened after that... Elliot doesn't know, he says. I might have contacted and confirmed Kennel even as Elliot if I had informed him earlier about the comms...

Although it was also part of the confidentiality that I wouldn't reveal until I got back to Termwilds.

"I also know Camilla's father. Disgusted with the center, he decided to retire from the Knights and hide in the province... he doesn't seem too obsessed with power."

And, says Elliot.

Hmmm...... As far as the person reviews from Elliot...... if we talk closely with Camilla's father as well, we don't seem to have a problem with the Baron Territory......

You'll be aware that Ashley inherits the lord, too, in the other house. Then it would be a good idea to wrap up the story exactly so that no one comes out to take charge of her and scratch her.

Since Elliot's future position will also be involved, I wonder if it will still mean King Melvin turning it over.

"Let us now inform His Majesty Melvin, including that"

"Sorry for the inconvenience"

That said, Elliot quietly bows his head.

"Are you familiar with Miss Camilla?

"Yeah. We used to play together at a young age. She's two years older than me...... as far as I'm concerned, I thought she was more like a sister than a fiancé...... Really? He said he wasn't engaged or married... If you were grieving about me, I'm sorry about that."

Really? If you mean you were older than Elliot, then maybe Elliot recognized you as a firm heterosexual fiancée, not a disciple or something like that from Camilla's point of view.

Elliot didn't return... six years as it was.

If that thing had caught its tail, I know why Ashley barely remembers Camilla, and why Kennel didn't bring it up on the subject.

Because I look at Elliot's face to Ashley...... I wonder if he wanted to keep his distance from the Baron Sirn family even as Camilla.

... Right. If it's about being on the edge of the Dead Sleep King, I think so, even if it's about me, I want you to settle down where you need to be.
