Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

† † (Yulia perspective)

Dear Lyke, Mage of Ismas.

What a lovely lord.

Julia, daughter of the ruler of Zenobia, honestly thought so.

This is the first time I've ever met someone who I think could be my wife, who could give her purity.

Is this what first love is all about?

Julia has never made love before.

I've been approached by my father and met with several men, but I've never felt anything like this before.

The same goes for the son of a big merchant from a neighbouring country who went there the other day.

Just bragging about the wealth my father made, he has no talent whatsoever for himself.

He was just an unclogged man with his father's glory as an umbrella and just a sprinkle of prestige.

But not Master Lyke.

A sense of justice that helps strangers, a tenderness to have mercy on even bandits who are enemies.

When I saw the sight, Julia's heart shook.

- This must be a fateful encounter, he said.

This is the first time I've liked people.

I thought it was a word that appeared only in dictionaries and romantic novels, such as Love at First Sight.

It was a word often used by the samurai, but I thought it was irrelevant to me.

One day, as the daughter of the ruler of Zenobia, she marries an unclogged man, becomes the wife of an unclogged man, and gives birth to the children of an unclogged man.

I thought I would follow the natural fate I was born as the daughter of the ruling class.

But I can't believe this fate awaits...

I'll put my hand on my chest.

The beat is as fast as an early bell.

My chest rattled just thinking about him,

Just thinking about him makes my ears (jitters) hot.

Maybe this is the first love, the one.

It's my first experience in my life, so I get confused.

I wanted to talk to someone, but I can't think of the right person.

Maybe I should talk to a girl like that Satti who is Lord Ryke's maid.

I thought so for a moment, but Julia shook her head to the side.

"... no. That girl's probably my rival."

I don't know what Master Ryke thinks, but at least she's favoring Master Ryke.

That much Julia had also guessed.

As much as I talk to my lovers, Julia is neither insensitive nor stupid.

"Then it's probably best to talk to the samurai after all"

When I come to that conclusion, I invoke the maiden who served me better than I did at a young age.

She was a maid in a carriage with me the other day.

Seeing Julia's serious expression, she seems to have guessed the circumstances.

"Master Julia wants to be connected to Master Ryke."

Julia nods seriously.

She is the most trustworthy and the most wise of the maids of Julia.

It might give me some good ideas.

That's what I thought. I talked to him, but he seemed right.

She gave me a suggestion that I didn't even think about.

"You know the story about Lady Ryke asking to see Lady Eltoria?

"Of course I do. Something about trade with the country of Ismas."

"I originally came to Eltoria for help. Why don't you take advantage of that at this time?

"… use"

Julia drops her voice.

Because it didn't sound like a very good word.

Julia was blindly in love with Lyke, but still doesn't want to use what she plotted to do to force her marriage.

I wanted to captivate Ryke just because of my own charm.

………………

Troubled, the samurai tells Julia to push her back.

"Master Julia, do you know these words? From time immemorial, I don't mind using any means when it comes to war and love. It's better to win eventually."

"... it's justice to win eventually"

Julia leaks pompously.

"Exactly. I've seen Lord Ryke up close, but it's only a woman who can be the wife of such a grace for life. We should use whatever means we have here to make a deal with Lord Ryke."

"... I knew you would. You think so, don't you?

"Yes, if you miss this opportunity, you will never again have the chance to tour with that kind of Mitsuhito"

Julia nods in her heart when she hears the words, "... yeah".

And Julia, who consolidated her determination, decided to make a wish for her parents.

Or using this method, it was possible that Master Ryke would hate me, but still, Julia wanted to be Ryke's.

I wanted to be his wife.

So determined, Julia headed to her parents' bedroom.

To make a wish...
