“I beg your pardon?”

Camila looks ridiculous and asks again. The man standing across from Camila said as he raised his fingertips the goggles on his nose to see if this is familiar.

“Teleport gates cannot be used without authorization. ”

Camila is currently at the Teleport Gate in the city. It was to check that Devello was deep asleep in the wagon, then leave her and use the Teleport Gate to get to the wall, which is the capital of the Jinn Line.

Suddenly, Camilla grabbed hold of her ankle.

“Approval. You can put that down now!” “No. Since you do not have advanced citizenship rights, you must obtain approval from the Teleport Authority in Gracia to use the Teleport Gate. ”

The official at Teleport Gate replied without changing his face. Camila pats her chest in frustration.

“When do I have to go from here to Gracia again?" ”“ So why didn't you get approval in advance? ”

The question kept Camilla speechless. In fact, there's nothing wrong with the Teleport Gate's steward in front of Camila. He's a man of principle.

Teleport Gate posed as many risks as it conveniently did. Making the streets meaningless can be abused as much as possible. The next advancement had strict control over the Teleport Gates held in each city.

First of all, citizenship. Anyone who does not have citizenship cannot use the Teleport Gate. Of course, having citizenship does not mean that everyone can use the Teleport Gate. Teleport Gate is as expensive to use as it is convenient.

If you are a citizen of Gracia who is not a Citizen of Jinshan, you must obtain approval from the Teleport Authority of Gracia to use the Teleport in Jinshan.

The problem is that Camilla does not have permission from the Teleport Gate in Gracia. In the beginning, she thought she was going to ride a wagon from the Jinn, and if she hadn't met Devello, she would have ridden the wagon all the way to the Wall.

“You can pay as much as you want. ”

Camila sticks out her lips with a pointy look. There's plenty of money. Camila was in an environment where she could not afford to lose money. Her adoption was the Emperor of the Jinsen Empire, and her godfather was the Emperor of the Gracia Empire.

“No. ”

However, his response was like an iron wall. Should we be relieved that the administration of the local city is not corrupt? Being true to the principle and being honest is not a problem at all, because he receives the tapestry from his father. Rather, it would be a bigger problem here to have that officer take bribes from Camilla and use the Teleport Gate.

“... Can't we do something?” “No. If you keep asking too much, we'll have to call security. ”

The clerk was clever and cold to the end. Education is good. My father, you rule this country better than I thought. I thought you must have screwed up. Camila shrugs, thinking like that. She loved and respected him, but to be honest, she also thought he was the worst at being human.

[I can't deny it.]

On the assessment of Azin, Ahdim smiled in Camila's head. Camila's lips pop out even more as she fights back.

‘Don't insult my father. ’

[I just punched him in the face.]

‘But don't swear. ’

[Didn't you do it first?]

‘I can do it. She's my father's daughter.’

You've grown quite ferocious.Adim giggles and laughs.

[Woman] Wouldn't it be better to identify yourself?]

‘You wouldn't believe it. ’

Camila face the reality calmly. You can't believe it if you say it's the Emperor's daughter all of a sudden.

‘And I want to keep the principle. I can't help it if I say no. ’

[If so, will you eventually go to the wagon?]

‘Course I did. Things got complicated, but... with her. They haven't figured out who I am yet, and going to the Wall won't be a big problem. ’

How can you be sure? She's very strong.]

‘I know. ’

What I learned at the Academy in Gracia was not only magic. In Camila's head lies Adim, the god of war and battle. Ahdim was a better teacher than anyone else in the world, and Camila received various education from Ahdim. Even the shaman who had been trained by my mother and father before I left the line, I did not hesitate.

That's how it works. That woman. How strong are the wallpapers. I couldn't see any gaps even as I was sleeping safely. She's... incredibly strong. Camilla can't help it now.

[Maybe if your father and that woman met, it wouldn't end peacefully. We're too strong for each other, and we've been fighting for a long time.]

‘No problem. ’

Camilla's thoughts were filled with faith.

‘My father can't lose. ’

With such faith.

“Where have you been? ”

When he returned to the wagon, Devello was awake from his sleep. In fact, Devello was not sleeping, he was just logging out, but NPC, Camilla, recognizes Devello as deep asleep.

“Wait, I have something to do. ”

Camila answers like that and goes inside the wagon. Bad timing. Camila glances at Devello thinking that way.

“When did you wake up? ”

“Just now. ”

“You slept so deep. Like he's dead.” “You're alive. ”

I think he was joking. Should I take it? Camila takes the matter seriously for a moment. But Devello glances out the window, ignoring Camila's silence.

“What about the horse?”

“I sent it back. I signed up to come here in the first place. ”

Actually, it is not. The wagon was originally supposed to drive the wagon to the wall. Camilla is the one who forced the horse back. The wagon knew about Camila's identity and background, and Camilla was worried that Devello wouldn't interrogate her if she left him there for nothing. That's why I sent him back.

“Who drives a wagon without a wagon? ”

Devello tilts his head and asks. In response, Camila smiles in relief.

“This wagon has automatic driving magic. ”

The wagon starts to move as if it were proof of that. Devello is not that surprised. Camila felt disadvantaged for some reason by seeing Devello's calm reaction.

“That said, ”

Devello remains silent until the wagon leaves the city. Suddenly, Devello opens his mouth.

“I don't know your name. ”

“So am I. ”

We met and spent the day together, but we didn't even know each other's names. Camila knew Devello's star mural, but she didn't know her name.

“My name is Devello. ”

Devello smiles as he always does. After informing him of his name, Devello opens his eyes and looks at Camilla. We wait for Camilla's introduction. Camila opens her mouth feeling strange that a woman who looks just like her has a different name than herself.

“... I'm Camilla. ”

I wanted to say my name. I was wondering if you might recognize this name. However, Devello, who heard Camila's name, did not react well.

“Camilla.”

Devello sweeps his lips, muttering Camilla's name.

“That's the name. ”

Devello's reaction was all.

*

“... what? ”

Azin, who was watching the crystal ball, stood up. Azin's face became numb. It was not uncommon for him to make this face, so I was a little embarrassed at Hermione's face, who was looking at him through the crystal sphere.

What, you didn't know?]

“No, wait. What did you just say? ”

Ajin tries to regain his composure. But it rarely did. It used to be easier to pick up emotions... but over the years, they seem to have become too intense.

[It's been a month. You still haven't arrived?]

Hermione was embarrassed that azine's reaction was unusual, and asked. Hearing that, he sat down.

Camilla graduated from the Academy a month ago and left Gracia. A month. Yeah, a month ago.

“... didn't he graduate from the Academy this winter? ”

It's still April, and there's still time for Camilla to graduate from the Academy. The Demon King's coming is scheduled for October 3. So, in June, when the Academy went on summer vacation, he tried to bring Camilla back to the front line.

But Camilla graduated from the Academy. After graduation, I left Gracia and set out for the front line. A month ago.

[He was... good. I graduated early.]

“Why didn't you tell me?” [Wait, wait. It's not that I didn't want to. He asked me to do that.]

“So.”

[... he said he wanted to surprise you. So...]

“Is it true that Camilla left Gracia a month ago? ”

[It's true.]

“What about Teleport Gate? ”

[He said he doesn't want to use it. After living a frustrating life at the Academy, he wanted to travel by wagon. I thought... nothing bad would come of it, so I let him. I gave him the wagon I owned, and I gave him a very talented wagon.]

A wagon used by Hermione, the Emperor. Even dragon breeds have defensive spells that can be warded off ridiculously, and wagons with all kinds of magic for convenience.

It was none of his business. A month. The distance between Gratia and Jinsun is pretty far, and there is a desert between them. But the dungeon masters of the Bully Desert remained hidden, and the violent bandit squadron swore an oath to Azin that they would no longer pillage. A Hermione wagon should have reached the Wall in a month.

“Hermione.”

Azin's eyebrows frown.

“If something goes wrong with Camila's identity, I... may declare war on your friendly empire." ”

[... No, wait. That can't be right! It's a matter of identity, I can't imagine. He graduated first in his class. Everyone says I've never seen a genius this talented in the history of the Academy. He's already on the Grand Wizard's leash.]

“The Great Wizard? There are many people in the world who would kill a great wizard foolishly. ”

[If it's a monster like you.]

Hermione grumbles with an absurd look on her face.

“I'll talk to you later. I'm busy.”

Azin said so and hung up first. Ajin stood up and looked back at Mungyeonghee who was sitting nearby.

“I have to search the entire line. ”

“... maybe it's just a little late for fun? ”

Mungyeonghee asked, but Ajin did not intend to take back what he said.

“Notify the whole city. Tell Camilla what you think of her and find her. No, not just the city. Order them to search everywhere for the child.” “Issue. ”

Mungyeonghee muttered in a small voice.
