Somehow, The Villainess Who Regressed in Time Lost Her Magic Power, so She Turned into a Secluded Maiden

"Van, it's been a long time."

Van leaned his head as he called out to [Van], his contract spirit on his arm.

Then, as soon as I noticed something, I spread my big wings and jumped over Theodore's shoulder.

"Haha, it's been a long time." Did you sleep well? "

I accidentally shrugged my shoulders as I watched Van gently accept that Theodore could stroke my head with her fingers.

"Even though you haven't seen me for years, you still miss Theodore more than I do."

"I'm in a good mood." I said I slept well. "

"That's the best part."

"How long has it been since Van and I met? I've only seen you once before, so it's been about eight years, right? You used to remember me."

Asked kindly by Theodore, Van screamed in a calm manner. I don't understand the words of the spirits, but they look proud and open.

”Haha, 'oh no'!”

I've only met a small number of contract spirits in this country.

"Well, that's right. Sometimes royals don't know each other's spirit of contract, even among their brothers." In your case, it was the emperor and queen who knew about Van, then the commander of the sorcerer regiment and the high priest...... and then Cyril. "

I smile bitterly at Theodor's words, which contain no words, saying that I would not trust anyone else.

"I guess I am in this world." But I'm not. My youngest brother knows about Van, too. "

"Heh, it was so insidious." The influence of Lady Rachel? "

"... well, I guess so."

In an environment where flattery and familiarity could not be said to be good, brotherhood was not good either. As a prince, I grew up almost faceless with my family. I was raised by Cyril's mother, a nanny, and an educator.

Unlike me, however, my brothers grew up in my mother's love. I never felt unhappy about it, but I was always aware of the distance between myself and my brethren.

Neither my mother nor my brother tried to get involved in it themselves. Gradually, I thought that the ditch was deepening year by year and could not be repaired.

You've returned to your relationship so often that you revealed your contract spirit.

"Yeah. When I had an affair with you, I felt it was important to build a stronger ground than yours." I thought it was necessary to take my brother as an ally. "

Revealing the truth to Theodore, who looked at me admiringly, Theodore sighed deeply.

"...... I thought that would be the case"

"Don't worry. I approached him thinking that way at first, but there was something cute about him."

Now I'm practicing my sword with you every now and then. "

"That's... I was just surprised. After all, you've changed."

I laughed vaguely at Theodor's words.

“Oh, the royalty of this country originally did not reveal their Spirit of Contract because it would be the seeds of the nation's struggle.”

"It seems that that caused a big problem in the past." Indeed... my elder brother, whose magic power was weak, was defeated in the struggle between the prince and the prince and left the country. "

That's right. Since then, the royal spirit summoning ceremony has been carried out secretly by the high priest and the sorcerer regiment commander.

The Royal Spirit Contract was different from the usual Spirit Summoning Ritual. And normally, I will not reveal my Spirit of Contract.

Not all royals are strong in the magic power of light, and not all contracted spirits are spirits of light. Furthermore, some royals cannot contract with the Spirit.

It was a decision because the amount of magic power and the contract spirit were not affected by the succession struggle of the country.

But when I was young, Theodore...

Is there a contract spirit hidden in the pendant underneath that clothes?

And, I remember being surprised to be matched by a straight sphere.

"Theodore, it's just you." The taboo is touched by a sphere. "

"Haha, that's because the opponent is Louis." Besides, I heard Van's voice from inside the magic stone. "

Pee

"Sorry, sorry, that was a secret story."

There was another difference from the usual spirits. That's the pendant you're always wearing.

This magic stone is a special magic stone that is directly connected to the contract spirit. The spirits contracted with the royalty can be summoned by applying magic power directly to this pendant.

It's like a door that connects the Spirit Land to the Contractor.

"So, what are we going to do now?" You want me to translate Van, right? "

“Yeah. I need you to ask Van if he knows this place.”

Nodding to Theodor's words, I turned my gaze to the picture in front of me that I had just seen.

"Oh, it's a picture of this space-time room." What do you say, Van? "

When Theodore asks Van standing on his shoulder, Van shakes his head several times to think about it. Then, in a reluctant manner, he called to Theodor.

"'I know, but it's not a place for humans to reach.'"

"... I see. Is this the forest where the Spirits of Light live?"

Place your hand on your chin and look directly at Van.

Then Van stared at us like a piercing shot to see our true intentions.
