Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

(Leo, help me....)

Well, was this reading empty ears...

It's just, if it really sounded like it, it's unusual for Shelley to send these readings during the day.

I couldn't come to the party, so you wanted me to deal with you and you played tricks on me?

No, Shelly doesn't seem to do that...

"Ooh! Leo!"

"Yes!

"What's the matter with you, suddenly you shut up?

"Uh-huh, sort of."

Well, it's your fault.

I feel empty ears, and if anything really happens, I'll tell you one more time.

"Are you all right? Besides, I'm already done with the party, so why don't you go pick it up one last time?

"Uh - are you going to pick it up again?

You know how much I'm eating just today?

I'm already eating ten plates...

"'Cause it's dragon meat, right? Can you eat it once in your life? I need to eat it when I can."

"I guess... if you want to eat so much, why don't you come and eat because there's still stock in my house?

"Huh? You can go to Leo's house."

"Yeah, I do."

Red Dragon meat is still there.

Well, it was huge.

"Oh, yeah... I guess I'll go tomorrow"

"Oh, tomorrow? Well, fine."

You liked it that much?

(Leo, help me!

Bikun!

"Wow!"

My brother was surprised because I was suddenly freaked out.

"Leena, did you hear that now?

"Of now? No, I didn't hear anything in particular"

Leena didn't know the intent of my question and apparently didn't really hear it because she's leaning her neck......

Are these empty ears, too?

No, I heard it twice, so it won't.

Yeah...... why don't you ask the person?

Yeah, let's do that.

(Hello, Shelly? If it's my mistake, I'm sorry, did I just tell you?

That said, I'll wait for a few replies... but nothing returns.

Is there something wrong with my necklace?

Yeah......

(Leena, can you hear me?

Bikun!

"Wow!"

My brother again. Now Leena suddenly freaked out, so I was surprised.

(Duh, what's wrong? That was weird earlier, wasn't it?

(No, I thought my necklace might have broken)

(Really... so it was broken?

(No, not at all)

I could talk to Leena, so she's not broken...

Yeah... if so, did something really happen to Shelley...

"Dude, if you both thought you were freaked out earlier, you suddenly shut up. What's up?

"Nothing in particular. Brother, I'm going to the castle for a little while."

"There's definitely something about that, isn't there? What are you saying, like I'm going for a walk?

"I just wanted to know something. That's what I'm gonna do."

That's what I'm saying, I'm leaving the venue.

"Huh? You're lying, right? We haven't even congratulated your brother yet, have we?

SIDE: Damian

"What!? That the princess disappeared?

"Yes, I'm not looking anywhere"

"No way... have you left hiding to get to Leo?

"No, I wonder if that's possible. Even princesses on boulders won't be able to cross walls, and gatekeepers will have magic tools to combat charm."

"No, the charm of a princess. Magic doesn't mean magic."

With that wand Leo gave you, no one would be able to turn against the princess...

"Oh really... so what?

"I just have to look outside. Look for them all to die for! 'Cause it's not too late since something happened."

"Yes. I get it. I'll do everything I can to find it."

Watching my men run, I thought about where the princess had gone.

Yeah... I just couldn't get to the party, so I guess I'll get out of the castle...?

But you can't think of any other reason.

"I think I'll go to Leo's."

Maybe Leo knows something.

"Dear Damian, Lady Leons has said he would like to see you"

"Huh? Is Leo here? I'm going now."

Maybe Leo really knows something.

SIDE: Leons

My uncle came as soon as I got to the castle and asked him to meet me.

"Hey, let's just get inside, Leo."

My uncle suddenly appeared, as usual, and suddenly led me inside.

"Ugh, yeah."

What if... Did something really happen to Shelley?

Then he showed me to my usual room.

Yes, it is the Emperor's room.

Upon entering the room, the emperor was fighting the paperwork against his desk.

"Emperor, may I have a moment?

"Yeah, yeah, that's good. Isn't that Leo... What if there's another problem I can't even imagine?

My uncle spoke to me and raised his face. The emperor saw I was there and felt the disturbing air.

"Yes, to tell you the truth… earlier, the princess went missing"

"Huh!? Shelly's missing?

What do you mean, missing?

"What? What do you mean? Instead, why is Leo surprised?

"I'm so sorry. When I noticed, there was no princess anywhere. I don't know why Leo-kun is surprised, either. Speaking of which, I didn't ask why Leo came here."

Dude. Still, it's unusual that my uncle hasn't been able to make a calm decision so far...

With that in mind, I explained to both of you how I've been so far.

"I see."

"Maybe... I don't want to think about it, but maybe the princess was kidnapped"

"Yeah...... Well, is that likely because this is the time of year..."

"This time of year? What do you have at this time of year?

"Oh, this time of year is just before Cliff's adulthood"

"Oh, what's wrong with that?

What does that have to do with Mr. Cliff's adult and Shelley's abduction?

"It's up to the emperor to declare who the next emperor is on the adult day of his chosen child."

"I see. So Shelley..."

Then Shelly would be in a very dangerous state right now......

I'm getting worried.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, maybe this time there is also a sneaker, Allen involved"

"Tell me why"

"Yes, simply because he is the only one who can take the princess out of the castle unnoticed by anyone"

Is it just Allen with the same skills as your uncle?

"Right... you're monitoring Melissa, aren't you?

"Yes, I just got a report that there was nothing particularly unusual going on"

"Well... now what..."

The two of us are talking... but it doesn't get in my head at all.

Maybe Shelly is dead......

The moment such an idea passed through my head, I was struck by a tremendous amount of anxiety, and my head turned white.

I may never see Shelly again......

... We need to help fast.

"... I'll find out for sure"

"" What?

"By the end of the day, I will be sure to find out and help out. Bye."

That's why I moved out of the room.

I wanted to get Shelly out of this anxiety fast.

"Hey, where are you going?

That said Damien tries to chase Leo, but the emperor stopped him.

"You can leave Leo-kun to yourself. Probably Leo would be fine with you. Then we'll find evidence that the sneakers and Melissa were involved."

"Okay. Instruct your men now."

Damien thanked the emperor and left the room.
