"There seems to be very few people in Lavar who can use magic."
On the way to Master Duke's place, the words of the female students echoed in my ears.
... Lavar is a big country, isn't it? And yet few people can use magic? I don't really know what's going on in the world. It would be wiser to study for the present than for the future.
I listened to a girl student and then that hit my head.
"Hey, Jill, I wonder how many people in Lavar can use magic."
"... I don't know because I've never actually been to Lavar, but it should be less."
"Why?"
Jill opened her pupil to my words.
"How come it's that kind of country?"
"You mean some nobles can't use magic, right?
"I don't think most nobles can use magic."
That's what Jill said as a matter of course.
Most nobles can't use magic? So, who the hell can use magic? I wonder if it's just the royal family of the Lavar country. But that's too little.
"It's always Alicia who told you to look at the world objectively, isn't it? There are more people in Durkis who can use magic than in any other country. There's not so much Lavar, there's just too much of this country."
People who can use magic in other countries have a rare value.
That's what I'm talking about.
... I knew I had to know a lot about the inside world to keep the Lavar country under my umbrella.
I don't have time to think about it. We need to get to Lavar State as soon as possible.
Alicia, Duke's here.
In Jill's words I returned to me. From behind the hallway, you can see the prince walking in with an awesome aura.
... Oh, I did. I totally forgot what it was all about.
I was obsessed with planning to be deported from Lavar.
"Speaking of which, I wonder why I was looking for Master Duke..."
"What are you talking about, Alicia?"
That's what Jill said with a heartbroken look on his face.
There were too many things to do before I met Master Duke. It took me quite a while to solve the problem in front of you, didn't it?
"Alicia gets stupid sometimes, doesn't she?... you apologize to Duke, right?
Ah! Yes, I did. I have to apologize to Master Duke.
"Why..."
When I said that, Jill threw up a loud sigh like she'd never heard before.
"No matter what happens to other men, there's never gonna be a Duke. Who said anything like that?
... I remember. I wanted you to take that word as a joke.
Well, I'm the bad one. I need to apologize properly.
"Dear Duke"
I stood with my spine stretched out to the front of Master Duke and stared at him.
