We all know her. Fewer people will not know because Anisphere Win Palettia is the princess of this country.

Many people know that she likes magic. Even though I like magic, I didn't benefit from magic. Someone who was struck by such a tragedy.

Few sympathize with Anisphere though. Because all the time she develops tools that are bright and energetically strange, fly around the sky with those tools, and achieve something magical even though she can't use magic.

Everyone knows. Anisphere Wynn Palettia is a strange princess.

"Long time no see, neither has Wang Du"

Llumiel squeaks zero as he looks at the castle town through the window of the carriage. Having successfully met her, the spiritual contractor, and brought her home, we were finally able to return to Castle Town.

Llumiel was in the carriage with me and Yufi, Raini. She's the most important person for a country no less than a princess, so I'm convinced of that treatment.

Only Raini was told who Llumiel was. Raini doesn't treat me like I'm inside anymore. He looked like he was surprised by the boulder when he found out that Llumiel was my distant ancestor.

Lumiel, on the other hand, seemed surprised by Raini as well. That's because Llumiel realized at first sight that Raini was a vampire.

Lyumiel knew about the vampire, but it doesn't seem there's a deep connection just because we've met by chance and exchanged words.

Still, according to Llumiel's testimony, the vampires are confused by people, hiding their identity from them and lurking themselves. He says it's an intuition that Llumiel has lived as a spirit for years to be able to discern vampires.

It is not something I would expect from Uffi as an anti-vampire because it is said that Uffi will be able to do so in the future. If you can apply it and make use of it in magic props, it will be your word.

While I had that conversation, I came back to King's Capital. It has already been told by our fathers that Llumiel will follow us. I feel a little sorry for your father that you're bothering me again.

"When is Lumiel going to come to the king's capital?

"Hmm? You've only been here to show your face before and after Orphans took power. Yeah, but you're not showing up. I saw you go home."

"Freedom, you too..."

"That's what the contract is. He said he wouldn't restrict my freedom instead of leaving the country. Though it was Orphans who gave a clear testimony. Until then, it was like a promise."

I'm a little curious as to what kind of encounter Llumiel had with his father and mother and how the connection settled him into his current relationship.

I was interested, but the carriage journey ends with my arrival at the Royal Castle. I'll talk to you another time, and I'll get off at the escort of the Sprout Knights who opened the door for me.

The carriage stopped, and at the entrance to the castle where we got off, Father and Mother, then Lord Grants and Mrs. Nerschel were waiting.

Me, Uphilia, down in Raini's order, and at the end of the day Lumiel gets off. Llumiel loosened his eyes when he saw his fathers.

"Oh, they're all getting old. Long time no see."

"Lord Lumi. Nice to see you again."

It was my mother who came forward first. Seeing her mother like that, Llumiel grabbed her by her mother in a agile move. I can't react to the aggressive movement either, and my mother fits in Llumiel's arm.

"You're tiny anyway! Silfi is! How have you been?

"Here, here! Lumi, get off me! It's in front of His Majesty!

"It's not good, I haven't seen your face in a long time. Um, we're all old, but you're still young!

"Let go...!

Oh, that mother resists with all her might, but she doesn't look comfortable at all...! Surprisingly, Llumiel, you're strong...

Unexpectedly watching the heartwarming interaction between my mother and Llumiel, my father walked over with a bitter smile.

"Lord Rhumi, will you let Silphine go and do it? We're not kids anymore."

"Oh, you're like a cute chick to me forever, aren't you?... but you've grown. I misjudged you. But did he do it?

"If that's what it looks like, then I can still be proud that I've got something called the King's Piercing Lock."

Calmly Father is exchanging words with Llumiel. Though Llumiel's eyes, staring at his father for a little while, floated a similar color to his worries, it was an instant.

My mother manages to get out of Llumiel's arms and Lord Grants walks in instead of quickly getting the distance.

"I'm out of time, Lord Rhumi"

"Oh, Grants................ you look good. Isn't that a little better for you?

"I'm afraid."

"My daughter-in-law seems fine and above all.... you've given me an interesting daughter."

"It is most praiseworthy of you to say that to Master Lumi."

At some point Mrs Nerschel is also advancing and exchanging words. When I look at it like this, I'm impressed that I really had a connection with my fathers.

It was ruthless to pinch our mouths in the air that warmed up our old relationship, but the Knights of Sprout cut us out because we had stories to build up and move the place.

But again, I think it's a pretty good number of people.

We take our seats in each room that is used as one of the conference rooms.

It was still from your father who cut out the story.

"First of all, you're back well. Annis, it's Uphilia. I've been looking forward to your return."

"Yes, I just wrote to you earlier to give you an overview..."

"Uhm.... I was also surprised that Lord Lumi would be visiting, but is it in writing about the backdrop of the spiritual covenant?

"Yes.... a spiritual covenant was impossible for me. Instead, Uffi was able to exchange spiritual contracts."

My father laid his eyes down on my answer. He seemed to digest his thoughts so he could bite them off.

That's not just my father. Both my mother and Lord Grants and Mrs. Nerschel had similar faces.

For the time being, vacate between silences before Father exhales loudly before continuing the conversation.

"... well. If so, have you been able to elucidate about the Spirit Contract? So did Uffi, who became a contractor, but above all, it was the clarification of the Spirit Contract that gave you the proposition."

"There are a lot of things we need to talk about.... soundproofing here is sufficient?

"Whatever. That's why I'm here."

Father nods forcefully. Well, it was a room I've never been in, but is this a room for such an important meeting? Because I don't really get into these places in the Royal Palace, either.

"First of all, do you say that you have almost figured it out when it comes to spiritual covenants… are you more competent than I explain…"

"... that's why Lord Lumi went out of his way to King's Capital?

I look at Llumiel like my mother was slightly confused. Llumiel is enjoying the tea Raini has put in.

Collecting his gaze, Llumiel takes his mouth off the tea and looks over at everyone as he breaks down his posture and pokes a cheek wand at his desk.

"These kids had a chance. I thought you could give me the knowledge I know."

To Llumiel's reply, Father's and Mother's reactions were coloured with surprise and perplexity.

Speaking of which, you haven't revealed yourself to your fathers either. But this is how we get in, so you might not be surprised.

Your father and mother looked restless, but Lord Grants and Mrs. Nerschel remain quiet faces. Honestly, I'm not going to be able to grasp what you're thinking.

"So there's no way I'm going to tell you or anything when I give these kids the knowledge, is there?

"... so it goes against the covenant not to interfere disproportionately from this one?

"It's good because I'm on my own. You guys haven't been passionate about spiritual contracts since then, have you?... except Grants' wife there"

Hiraki, and Mrs Nerschel, with Llumiel's gaze on her, just smiled calmly.

Well, it was enough to write such a paper, and the one who was most interested in the Spirit Contractor was Mrs. Nerschel. Still, as the Duchess, what did Lady Nerschel think of not going down the path of exploration to bring in sparks not needed in the country...?

"That's... I didn't think the Spirit Contract would be a good thing to take a detour from what you were like at the time."

"Use it if you can, but it was your attitude, Orphans. He's the one who used to set the country up so far."

"I want you to stop being an impenetrable boy... I just couldn't handle the rest because I thought so."

"You pushed your daughters' backs like that because you thought they had that vessel?

"There were some chopped circumstances that I had to do that. I don't mind if you think so."

"... yes. You've become a good father, Orphans."

Father blinked his eyes at Llumiel, who smiled with joy and told him. And I silenced myself on the top of the Buddha as if I had failed to choose an expression.

"You think you made the right decision from my point of view. I didn't think there was a flag for a spiritual contractor for the stability of the country. I may have had a hard time, but I could see the King's Capital and be sure of it. You didn't need a spiritual contract."

"... not just the rest of us"

"Yep. Based on that, I'm telling you you weren't wrong.... so the next generation has a way of doing it. You don't have to look at me like that, do you?

"... but the more I warned you, the more I heard that the Spirit Contract had been clarified, the more it would come to life."

From the flow of the conversation, I wonder if the fathers also asked for the Spirit Contractor as their flag once. But the fathers gave up taking the Spirit covenant as ours with Llumiel's warning.

I wonder if that is why the covenant for Llumiel to remain in the country has been exchanged. Instead, let me promise you I won't interfere more than I have to.

"... then, it's Anis. Can you tell me more about the Spirit Contract?"

"Yes."

Even though I was a little nervous, I got to talk about the spiritual covenant.

The Spirit Contractor and the Great Spirit who make a covenant in the Spirit covenant. I will tell my father the relationship and the truth.

The premise is that people have spirits in their souls. By entering into a covenant with the Spirit that is hidden in the soul, the Spirit Contractor dedicates the soul of man to the soul of the Spirit for a price and spiritualizes it. That it is a mechanism to promote to the Great Spirit and gain power as a Spirit Contractor.

By way of conclusion: that the Spirit Contractor and the Great Spirit are the same, and that the Spirit Contractor is a being that has replaced the soul with the Spirit. And that the Great Spirit is the fruit of a spirit with a vessel of man, or of a former spiritual contractor who lost a vessel of man.

First, I will explain the outline to my fathers while trying to calmly convey only the facts. Then Father and Mother's face went strong to see, and by the time I finished the story, it had dripped away.

"... I see Lord Ryumi warns you. Was the Spirit Contract such a mechanism"

groaning as his father held his forehead down. My mother has her worried and anxious eyes pointed at Ufi.

"So you're saying that Uffi has already reached the Spirit Contractor… i.e. the Great Spirit?

"Yes, I'm just saying that Uffi was closer to the spirit than the Spirit from the beginning and had no significant impact, but still, I can't say that none of the changes were there"

"Ufi is no longer human," he said?

"... Yes"

"... oh my god!

My mother leaned down with her eyes hidden with both hands. Though I didn't know much about the truth, I didn't think it was enough to stop humans. I certainly can't help feeling guilty if I think so......

Yufi made a spiritual covenant because, you see, it's that...

"There's nothing wrong with Silfi. This child became a spiritual contractor as much as possible. 'Cause... I made my spiritual pact, and the cut-off is a crazy fight, right?

"... what?

"I laughed too because I had a magical fight over which one would be king and I made a deal with that bounce."

In the next moment, my father and mother's gaze pierced me about what was going on. I desperately turned away.

Wow, I'm not bad......! Yufi signed the contract on his own......!

"So sooner or later, this child would have fulfilled his spiritual covenant. If a parent is a parent, a child is a child again."

"... the way you put it, Lord Grants had the qualities to be a spiritual contractor too?

I inadvertently questioned the way Llumiel said it.

Sure, Lord Grants and Uffi are alike, but it sounds like Lord Grants had that possibility, too, the way Llumiel put it.

"Right. It just doesn't look like Grants picked it out. There must have been no hang-ups."

"... because I only perform my duties as a Duke"

"That's how you stop by the Spirit if you don't take care of people's sensibilities with duties and duties. Really, what kind of daughter did you raise?

"My ear hurts about that."

So for the first time Lord Grants smiles ironically bitterly. Sounds very harsh as far as I can tell. I guess Yufi had the qualities from the beginning, and the environment fuelled them. It is said that Yufi was close to the Spirit from the beginning.

By the way, I'm worried Mrs. Nerschel's eyes are sparkling...? Oh, I had eyes. Oh, missed!? I missed my eye, that guy!?

"Hey Mrs. Nerschel!?"

"Oh, ho, ho, I don't like it. It's nothing, Princess Anisphere."

I was deluded! But I saw it! Those intimate, sparkling eyes! This guy doesn't hide his nature after all!? Speaking of which, it looks like one of those scales was hidden when I visited him before...!

"Kohon.... So, Uffi, are you okay? Is there any discontent or inconvenience in becoming a spiritual contractor?

"Yeah, no problem. Would you say it's more refreshing than before, so much so that I feel more able to behave naturally now? If there is any inconvenience, there is one…"

So Yufi turned the gaze that was directed at Mrs. Nerschel to her father and mother.

I have a bad feeling...! I accidentally take a seat and try to seize Uffi, but Uffi opened his mouth faster than that.

"Does Master Anise feel delicious?"

'Huh?'

Stupid. Uh-huh! This, stupid, ahhhhhhhhh!

Everyone is gazing at Ufi like they were surprised. I shake my neck left and right with my hands blocking Yufi's mouth.

"Chi, no! This is the...! Magic! It's about magic!!"

"Ugh, um... magic?

"Yes! You said the Spirit has the magic that each one likes! Yufi just happens to say he likes my magic!!"

Oh, I'm stroking my chest down like my father and mother are horny enough to be.

Right, suddenly my daughter is delicious! What do you say, you freak me out! I freaked out too! In a different way!!

"I see.... Princess Anisphere by the way"

"Yes, what is it? Mrs. Nerschel."

"What is the ingestion of magic?

You're not asking me with intrigue, Mrs. Nerschel. Uh-huh! Besides, the last thing I want to be asked...!

"Oh... that's...!

"Pfft. That's right, Mother..."

"You must be trying to answer normally!!"

I desperately seize again because Uffi, who has untied the restraint, is normally trying to answer.

This kid has no shame or anything!? Anyway, I need to get through this...!

"Pu... ku...! What are you desperate for...!

"Lumi, shut up!

"That's not weird, is it? You can consume magic by touching your skin."

"... skin and skin contact, is it?

Mrs. Nerschel is blinking like a kyoton. That's all? Like I said.

"That's right. That's all. I'm not ashamed of her."

Woo hoo......! Oh, yeah...!

"... what. Okay, that. You think I don't need to eat anise meat or sip blood?

"No. I'm not saying I'm unburdened because I'm taking in magic.... Just, hey"

"... just?

"He seems pretty greedy when it comes to his magic intake."

"Llumi!"

"That's good. We need to report it properly, huh?

Ni, you're stinging! Harassment!? Harassment!?

Then Father and Mother had a difficult face to describe. I feel my gaze is kind of raw and warm......!

No......! No, Father, Mother! Because I'm still clean! Because it's still clean!!

"... er, that is. Well, what is it? So what you're saying is that Yuffi is delicious is about Princess Anisphere's magic, and for her magic intake, she needs to touch her skin, that is, be in contact?

"Right."

"So, Uffi says he's greedy for ingestion of magic. … is that what it is?"

"No!? Probably not!?"

"Oh, what is it?"

Ohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoho I'm even thinking about something absolutely unnecessary...!

Whose fault is this, too, is Yufi's fault...! I'm gonna shut up because I'm done explaining!

"... you keep moderation, Anis"

"Isn't it strange to tell me!? It's more of a Ufi to be noticed!?"

"You must be an elderly man. Plus, I guess Uffi is very different than before. What are you going to do without your support?

My mother scolded me. It's too unreasonable. You can cry, right? This is a boulder and I cry too!?

Fluffy I went back to my seat and squatted with my knees. Bad attitude? I don't know, huh! What a meeting you have to go on your own!

"Again, in the future, Uphilia wants Annis to take care of her… Next is the adoption of Uphilia that we've been talking about…"

I feel the air on the field getting heavy all at once. Especially showing how your father and mother have fallen asleep.

"... Anis, the rest of us were talking while you were gone. I wonder, for example, if there is a hand that gives the throne to the Duke of Magenta."

"Does that mean transferring royalty from the present royal family to the Duke of Magenta's?

"Mm-hmm. And I also thought that the current royal family would descend as a duke..."

"Then there's a lot of backlash. Your Majesty and I have different layers of hope to gather."

It was the Duke of Grants who stated his denial in his father's proposal. Sure, even I don't think it's good.

His father is a king who honors the sum, but Lord Grants is a solemn figure. It is only natural that there are different layers of people who garner support. Then on the contrary, it could disrupt the country.

"Let Uffi succeed to the throne in one step, or not... Then I came to the conclusion that there would still be fewer children left to adopt once."

"Right. I think that's still the most natural flow."

"... if Uffi is to be king, he must still be cut off from the house, no matter what."

Father's gaze, which I tell you so severely, is directed at Uffi.

Father isn't the only one. Everyone had their gaze on Ufi. Uffi, who is collecting his gaze, looks at his surroundings with a clear expression.

"It's no different to my resolve. Sire."

"... is that good?

"Yes.... but I have something to tell you before I do"

"What?"

"I must speak of the tragedy that can happen when the Spirit Contractor becomes king. Otherwise, it could be unacceptable where I wanted it to be. And this leads to the tragedy of the Kingdom of Palletia, the first king."

"What?

Father opens his eyes to unexpected topics. Same goes for my mother. Lord Grants frowned and Master Nerschel gently put his hands on his mouth.

After seeing such an ambient reaction, Ufiria shifts her gaze. At the end of that gaze is Llumiel.

"That would be better for you to tell her than for me. Lumi. No, Master Lumiel."

"You don't have to bother."

Llumiel flaunts his shoulder with a bitter smile. The attention that was focused on Uffi shifts to Llumiel.

Rhumiel puts his residence right and smiles invincibly with his chest stretched.

"Shall I name you again? My real name is Llumiel René Palettia. My first king is my daughter, a living witness to the founding of my country."
