Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

With the Marquis, the families of the nobles, Gabriella and dignitaries, it's just right for handing out substitute talismans. Give them first as a curse measure to the faces that were the Lord, then sit back and listen to Gabriella.

"Perhaps it's better to talk about my grandmother in order than to talk about her all of a sudden. I - I grew up in the royal palace. My parents were close, I think. My father belonged to the Knights and had the role of leading soldiers around the neighborhood of the King's Capital. My mother - she wasn't very physically strong... but she was kind."

Gabriella talks with eyes that look far away. Though for once remotely speaking, both my grandfather and father were figures with ties to royalty and royalty...... Do that and in a royal way...... I certainly won't say it, so I guess Gabriella's claim that it's a fake royalty is also correct.

My grandfather and father are somewhat unusual blood distances to be recognized as the marriage partner of a witch princess.

Around here... there may have been a part where Xanaelk added the true origins of "Princess Elmentrude" and didn't try to make it close to the royal family... or let it be freed the other way so that both fathers could be truncated at times of need.

Still, the story is that it was not out of line with the principle of "engagement of royalty and blood relatives".

Nevertheless, he said the family wasn't unfriendly. Gabriella's mother was rare for the royal aristocracy and seemed to have known her father at an early age and remained fond of each other and was granted an engagement in a manner close to a romantic marriage. She was also respected by Gabriella and her parents because her grandmother, Princess Elmentrude, was also a calm and thoughtful person who walked around to help people when it came to inspections.

"I also respected my grandmother like that and loved her parents. But my grandmother... even though she was laughing at each other next door, I think she was someone who looked distant and lonely somewhere... I'm worried about my grandmother and my mother, who tends to destroy my body... I can't believe I'm going to be able to learn to help my father and grandmother in the future. That's what I thought."

Gabriella laughs a little nostalgic. Such a routine has changed… it seems that Gabriella's father was involved with a powerful demon that came out of a magic accumulation in the back of the woods in the neighborhood of Wang Capital, and that the wounds of his hand died at that time.

"A powerful demon... the aftermath of the Lord's replacement of the Magic Builder, perhaps?

"Yes, they say it must have been"

Gabriella nods slightly with her eyes down at my words.

Magic buildup has aftermath around it as well when the Lord falls or leaves due to some factor.

Demons fight each other for a rear pot as the next Lord, and the demons around them escape, or the land is chased more if they lose the fight... Sometimes a bunch of little demons run away in large numbers, or powerful demons at hand make crossings for another good place. Regardless of the former, the latter is quite dangerous.

And there is an aspect that near the King's Capital in Beshmerk, it doesn't really keep adventurers from the outside close, and not a very thick layer of talent.

Inevitably, the detection of the anomalies that took place in the magic build-up will be delayed, and then soldiers and knights of the Wang Capital will deal with those demons without adequate preparation. I guess that's how Gabriella's father became a powerful encounter with demons and surprises.

"My mother, who was originally weak, lay down sick to follow my father... and so she stayed... My grandmother cares about me... and I don't want to leave my grandmother's side. I think we've been together for a long time."

And. I guess that's why he was chosen by Xanaelk as the next witch princess, Gabriella said.

Just like my grandmother. The granddaughter of a witch princess who visits the province to help people. The popularity from the people is high, with the shadow of Princess Elmentrude, who takes over the role himself.

Her grandmother, who goes around doing inspections everywhere, was also gradually getting weaker. As for Xanaelk, I would have thought about the aftermath of Princess Elmentrude's death. That's why I thought Gabriella was appropriate for the cauldron. - Her grandmother also guessed that.

"Sometimes, my grandmother in the hospital bed called me... and told me the truth there I never thought I would. My grandmother originally came from an orphanage in the region and was not really Princess Elmentrude or anything, she couldn't find the missing princess, she needed a witch princess to keep the disaster away, and she was brought here to reassure the people."

To the words, Euphemia and the others frowned a little.

Is the way to source talent from somewhere still from an orphanage? Originally talented magicians also saw aptitude among orphans, and they used it in a way that ensured talented people.

"My grandmother believed in the word that if she were to drink the terms, she would generously support the orphanage run by her benefactor, and she said that the promise itself could be kept."

It's... it's also a hostage. If you are slightly more conspicuous, you can imagine what would happen if you refused.

Gabriella's dictation didn't even seem to inform her of the real role of a witch, but still, at a time when she was brought up with a story about a witch princess changing balls, etc., it's the same with no option to say no.

So she had a hard time keeping fooling people and helping someone to sin all over the place. He said that the reputation of saying the Virgin, etc. as the world calls it, was wrong, and he mocked himself for being a coward.

Knowing the king is up to something, he doesn't even have the courage to stand up to it. The result was such that it was part of something that would improve its reputation. He said he couldn't face the real Princess Elmentrude who stood up to the king. He said he was pale in his words of remorse.

So for the first time, Gabriella understood why her grandmother sometimes seemed lonely to distance herself from people, she said. That's how Gabriella goes on with her words.

"- Talk about taking it all the way to the grave if it's supposed to be. Still, there's only one thing the king doesn't know, and if I... take over the engraved witch princess, maybe I'll know it too. That's what he said."

Whether you're just a puppet or make another choice. If you suddenly find out about it, you might get upset. Because if Xanaelk detects it, he doesn't know how to get out against you. Say so.

"The ritual of prayer to leave the disaster was changed by the hand of the king from its original form… the engraving engraved on the body by the magicians with the substitution is also just a fake tattoo that merely mimics the shape. I'm sure the king tried to keep the engraved witch only in form because she was a phony. But still, my grandmother said the Queen's wish was that the memories would eventually reach even the false."

The words have a surprising colour in everyone's expressions.

"Whether it's a false ritual and engraving that shouldn't have made sense, eventually old wishes arrived - they changed to tell us about past events. That the modern king is making some mistake. The real witches have taken themselves somewhere, to the point that they are still standing up to the seal... He also told my grandmother everything and me that he took over. The real Princess Elmentrude herself, I didn't imagine."

It's... Did the spell assembled by the Queen of the First Ancestors even envisage such a critical situation?

Or... oh. We know the real story. Like, for example, the Mercy Mother of Grantios or her mother. It is possible that the Queen's soul and her will still remain in some way to protect the seal.

That explanation might be more convincing. Gabriella's grandmother herself may not have blood ties to the royal family... but it still means that she has changed so that she can convey her past memories, whether she is a false ritual, a switchball witch, in order to give a warning to the king.

But perhaps the Queen will have no more power. I guess it won't arrive until I overthrow the king myself because it exists as a spell to maintain the seal.

- You and your wife kept the secret from the king.

Elena stood up and walked over to Gabriela. That's how I take her hand. Lined up across the street, two people who also look like sisters - look directly in the face. To Elena's words, Gabriella had a surprised look.

"I'm … a coward who couldn't charge the king from the front when he knew the truth, even though he had no one to protect him like his grandmother. I don't think you deserve to say that."

"No...... no. That's not true. The only way I could escape from that king was just like me. My powerless choices have driven your fate crazy. I'm sorry about that."

No, it seems Elena's words were something bigger to Gabriela than surprise. Maybe he felt drawn to the real thing because he was a phony.

"No, Your Highness. You don't have to apologize. I don't even think the princess is bad. I'm - surrounded by a kind family, and I can definitely say I was happy back then. My grandmother must have felt that way too, so she showed me the truth... yes, I think."

"Dear Gabriella..."

Say so... the two tears in their eyes and softly hug each other.

Yes...... Right. The memory of my family when I was at peace. I don't care how my family made the rounds. The fact that I was happy at the time is not false.
