Sword of the Philosopher

"Firstly, as I said earlier, there is no clear evidence. I think I need to talk to you like this, and I'll tell you now..."

Emena makes further confirmation. So I said, "I know,"

"Marking you badly as a mastermind means you're suspicious and bad, right? I won't force this one either. If you don't have proof, I promise you I won't interfere in some weird way, like using a demon."

Emena snorts... Well, to the point,

"Okay. I'll leave it to you and the princess to decide."

Copy that.

"Now, it's a key name...... I don't know if you're a mastermind, or if you're being used, or if you're working with someone. But no doubt, I think my brother is involved."

Brother, that means...

"Prince Livina?

"Yes."

lightly - the fact that a blood relative harms her means

"That, in the form of a home commotion...? No, Prince Livina definitely should have the right to inherit the throne..."

"There's nothing like, for example, my brother can't get support from the folks and my ratings are high... The people themselves agree that my brother will be the later king, and it is true that he has all that qualities again."

"It's not about inheritance," he said.

"Yes... you're right for a reason... I'm childish in this way... but I don't like it, do I?"

Don't you like it? Isn't it too much to target your sister for just about anything?

If this is Prince Livina's fault, then the damage when exposed is immeasurable. Even the backlash of the people who support it can arise if they are bad. And in some cases, my sister might get the right to inherit.

"It's subtle when you put it this way...... on the surface, me and my brother are getting along, but the truth is, we think differently about things"

"Well, I can take that for granted... for that reason?

"Me and my brother, the fundamentals are different… it's how we face technology"

technology...... Prince Livina was breathing as he further improved the technology that was continuing to develop,

"I have advanced that rapid technological developments are not good. There are parts of it that are not possible as a result of the fact that we are still trying to further improve our technology. I looked around town with you guys last night, but that's the positive part, so to speak. There's also a negative side to it... just"

and Princess Emena looked difficult,

"You just have to fix those points a little bit in the future...... I'm not opposed to the development of magic technology myself. But my brother is trying to accelerate his current evolution even further... then naturally, there will be a problem. If we do not make it an unforced development…"

Hmm, I see... Prince Livina is making a rapid move to make life better through technological developments anyway. On the other hand, Princess Emena thinks she should be somewhat conservative and grow up inexorably.

If this is all, it's just a conflict of opinion, and it's no reason to do this to Princess Emena. Besides, I'm not denying the princess herself technology itself. I'm just saying speed is the problem. I don't think it's commensurate with the risk of developing into a big scandal of targeting my sister.

"That's not the only reason... not exactly, is it?

"Yes, the...... problem starts here. I'd like you to keep it a secret."

More than the fact that my brother is after me, or... what are you talking about?

"If this is, for example, the development of our magic technology from scratch, then I think I'm also welcoming it by waving a major player. That is nothing more than to say that the country's underlying technologies are greatly improved. The development of the nation… If so, I think I have also unconditionally accepted"

"I mean, isn't current technology what we've created with our own hands?

"The application of the technology we got, right...... it's a secret, but from somewhere in our country, the ruins have been discovered. This was decades ago, but there was little investigation in the mountains, and it was something that had been abandoned for years, although it had been found. But my father ordered me to investigate it."

"Why are you investigating?

"It was due in part to my father's interest in archaeology and such. In other words, at that point, there was nothing to say about technological developments, etc. As a result of the investigation, the materials found were enormous and the results of a wide variety of magical studies came out"

Was it the lab or something at the place?

"Of course it was written in ancient languages, so it took a lot of time just to do the deciphering work… I found that they were over and that there were many things that even today's technology seemed to be able to apply. At that moment, we went from archaeology, which traces human history, to magic science."

"Where are those ruins?

In an inquiry, Princess Emena pulled out a map from a pile of materials and spread it to the table. And where I pointed, the mountains in the middle of this country.

"In the mountains, no one had ever seen it, so it must have stayed."

"Right..."

It's like the ruins of an angel on our continent...

"For example, there are still angel ruins on our continent... ruins of those beings?

"It seems a little different than that. At least no material has emerged that it belongs to other races. Most likely our ancestors."

Is it left by a pure human being... if so, it can also be technically reproduced, because somehow it can snort?

"What's going on with that ruin now? Still under state control?

"All the materials are within the national laboratories. At first it seemed to keep an eye on the ruins that have become muggy shells... but now it's just sealing off the entrance and exit, no one"

Are you saying you've used it already? I guess it means Princess Emena is anxious, not because of her historical value, but also because of the current situation where she has only done research involving magic technology entirely.

"I see... you are afraid because it is only ancient technology. We need to know what will happen if we move forward with our research."

Princess Emena nodded cocklessly. Hmm, I could understand the schematic that the princess rebelled and my brother... However, I still felt weak to target my sister.

Besides, this is probably... I asked the princess more questions, guessing in my head.
