The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Leaving the Fins to explore Mantur's Azito, me and Bell used the portal to return to Wang Du, the Blue Lion dormitory of the Knights School.

Dive through the portal set up in my own magic workshop, where the sceptre (shape-septor), Sfera, waited on one knee.

"Welcome home, Lord."

"Sfera! Early's signal ring is on. What happened!?

"Ha, there's a rush report on the matter.... Your Highness Early has been kidnapped by someone"

It was a pale administrative report. She is also originally a wand, making it look somewhat like she is carrying something like emotion together.

Honestly, I got a little cut, but putting that in my mouth is just eight wins. We have to check the situation first.

Sfera explained only clerically.

In the school building of the Actis School of Magic Knights, sleep-effective magic was sprayed and most of the instructors and students were put to sleep. The thief, from the beginning the prince broke in for the purpose, but that Early was not asleep. The defensive magic I gave her before protected her from abnormal state magic. Glad I gave it to you. Magic equipment.

But the thief held the other students hostage on the spot. Using the students as shields, Early said he had capitulated and been taken away.

Prioritize protecting yourself, who is royal...... I guess you couldn't.

Because the princess in that prince's skin is faithful to the royal duty that whoever stands above must guard below. Sometimes it's nice from the beginning.

"So they took me out of the classroom..."

He was also taken out of school, he said. I shook my head to the side.

"What was Kingsguard doing?

While going to school, all entrances and exits to the school building are guarded by a Kingsguard, and each staircase stands on alert to the extent that it is not disturbed by the students. Usually even when I was attached, that was the arrangement......

"The Kingsguard knights on duty placed in the school building have been wiped out."

"Destroyed...!?

The soldier standing on guard said he was killed by accidental strikes at each of the dispersed locations. Captain Olivia, who was patrolling around the school building. The following vigilance groups also engaged with a group that took the prince, many casualties.

Isn't this the one called Big Defeat? Besides, I didn't know this was gonna happen without me.

"So, what's happening now?

"The Kingsguard, Deputy Balwan, has taken over command. We collect reorganization and information for the exploration and retrieval of His Royal Highness Early. Engagement with the thieves has led to the capture of one enemy - although we have now kept the body because of our self-determination. And..."

Sfera looked up.

Sakilis is tracking thieves from the air right now.

"Sakilis!? From the sky?

"We have the ability to fly with shapeshifter gear."

SS equipment. Speaking of which, at the time of the gear disclosure, he said he would verify to fly. Apparently, he stuck to pragmatism.

"Is Sakilis still after you? Alone?

"Yes. Furthermore, His Highness has a small shapeshifter, in case -"

When I tried to say that, the workshop door opened. Sakilis, a blonde former lady with black light armor in her maid's clothes, came into momentum.

"Sphella, they did it! Master Early..."

Speaking, he noticed me and Mr. Bell were there, and Sakilis turned pale in his face and knelt on the spot.

"Master, welcome home! And I'm sorry! I've lost sight of Master Early!

You were afraid of my reprimand, Sakilis kept his face down.

"I was ordered to protect you, Master Early, but I couldn't do my part!

"I lost sight of it, what?

I expressed my doubts. Sermons, etc., don't matter now.

"Yes, presumably a metastatic stone, but the thief used it to transfer them to wherever they were with Master Early."

Metastatic Stone, a magical stone that travels momentarily between a certain range. It is used for emergency escape, although it does not travel as long as possible. It is a consumable that can only be used once and is a terribly expensive substitute for scarcity.

"I mean, the killer..."

"You're the guy with the money."

Mr. Bell opened his mouth. I snort.

"You don't have a ransom kidnapping line. Metastatic stones are too costly. If you're after your life, it's too risky to take them away on purpose."

"It's a vibrant arrangement. They're pretty familiar."

Mr. Bell twisting his little neck. I say as I walk to Sakilis on my knees.

"There are lines of foreign hands after the chaos of the Veriraldo royal family, but I don't know why I bothered to take them away. If King Eman hadn't bitten one, inevitably -"

Lord Jal.

Duke of Jarzy, second in the right to inherit the throne. A man who would be nominated as the king's successor if Early, the supreme heir, were gone.

"But when it comes to kidnapping..."

"Oh, so the suspicions weren't clear"

About Early's gender. I guess that's what kidnapping is all about, even though you set up a shapeshifter phony and showed him you're a man.

I can't help but look like I bit a bitter bug. This is the arrowhead I thought I could finally free Early from the throne inheritance dispute when I settled on the Mantle thing.

"In the meantime, taking it means not killing it right away"

It had some purpose - oh, I guess that guy would behave that way because he wanted Early to be a woman and seemed to want it to be his thing. Besides, if you shut the prince somewhere and disappear from the surface stage as it is, the throne will naturally roll in.

Nevertheless, he also acted at considerable risk. If the prince were kidnapped, of course, the king's capital would be a commotion all over the country, and even after he became king in case he found out he was involved, he would generate unwanted rebellions and conflicts from around him.

But I guess I don't have that in mind right now about Jarzy, who extended his compulsion. I might offend her all I got, like I love flowers......, no, still lust.

"Hey, Jin, is this bedtime? Hmm? '

I answered Mr. Bell in a magic tale without turning a blind eye.

"Read the air, black cat"

Pong, and me putting my hand on Sakilis' shoulder.

"I'm going to go help Early. You coming, too?

"Yes! Of course, I will serve you, my lord!

And when Sakilis lifted up his face, he moistened his eyes, saying, Did you see it as an opportunity for salvation? Well, that's good.

"But your husband. Where is Master Early?"

"I'm not worried about that"

View the Cobalt signal ring.

"I'm tracking it. All we have to do is get His Royal Highness back."
