The Magician Wants Normality
King Sarovara's monologue
- When the representatives of the affected countries are discussing it (King Sarovara perspective)
Though being chased to work in the office, I think about the last few days. It was like a miracle... no, like the story. It got to the end of everything that kept happening, that it was the beginning of one.
"To make Lillian give up his love, I invite Lord Argento and the Magic Master to Salovara"
- I never thought this decision would change Sarovara dramatically, etc.
But it's not a bad change. Ning Lo, that would have been a long-awaited thing.
And look back on the past. I was wondering if my choice was wrong.
From my father's reign, royal power only weakens more and more in Sarovara. It was only natural that the nobles, who were the Lord, should try to take in the blood of the royal family beside spreading the struggle for power.
Now I still have eyes only on expanding my faction. But they are more than that sooner or later… it is imperative that they aim to devour the royal family.
I try to fit something in my hand called royalty, not in the position of being a relative. By resting on the king, 'I am a clan' with the same blood.
It was also convenient for them that I only had two daughters. Because if you are a prince, you can have more than one wife, and if you have a son in each of them, you will be in tow with each other.
But not in the case of the Queen. Originally, the throne was a priority for boys... even though the queen is also recognized, she will tend to be tasted by the nobles.
It can't be admitted unless there are so many circumstances, such as having multiple husbands. We have no choice but to confront the nobles as we lean in with those who have become husbands.
When that happens, which daughter will you let carry that role on? It comes down to that.
... It was Tircia that I chose. Because Tircia was intelligent even without the eyes of her parents, and the nobles had enough talent to do so.
Lillian is too honest. That kid was hurtful, and there was a little bit of emotional movement. Of course, there are aspects of it that you will regret later, but the nobles will certainly come after its shortcomings.
The royal word is heavy. It's hard to seem to take a word for it easily. Therefore, Lillian was dishonourably forced to carry the rating of 'poorly done'.
To make such an escape route, even if it's 'princess bullshit you can't do well' to get a tenure taken.
I know it's pathetic, but it's impossible for me or Tircia to protect her. We are royalty... we cannot let our country tilt with personal affection.
I guess Tircia didn't dare move either because she knew that. If you move poorly and bring value to Lillian, that kid will surely be targeted by the nobles.
Tircia is not a child who doesn't know that. Even Tircia could not do anything about the situation - the current weakening of the royal authority.
If I could, I would be acting. Because it is Tircia who is most heartbreaking for Lillian to be hurt.
- But the turning point came. No...... 'Tircia moved it'.
The messengers of Ilfena who visited Sarovara, and the Master of Magic. The way Sarovara and his men behaved against them was really a headache.
I was also stunned at making Lillian speak ill, but there is no word for my exit and the stupidity of asking for Lillian's punishment before leading the way to the Gone Mage.
Whatever Lillian thinks of the Wizard, there is no proof. Yet, such as doubting the royalty of my own country… I don't think it's sane.
I guess this also made sense to impress the Irfenas. Foolish measures, expecting to be passed on as information. The men of Ilfena have seen us through, and we have suffered painful retribution.
Also unexpected was the Magic Master. That's just the education of His Highness Elshon, that arm I can't help but think of.
The words and deeds in the mining site trail that were reported to me by the knight who attached them to the escort, their ability to calmly look at things… they were reminiscent of His Highness Elshon.
In that case, there is no way to be insulted by saying, 'People of different worlds are treated like civilians, and I don't know this world's common sense or anything like that'. I guess it was education for that.
Even though I knew that, I gave permission to the Magic Master to retaliate.
The Sarovara side continued to do so foolishly that it had to forgive the 'personal retaliation' of the Demon Master. Originally, it would be someone you should never let take the word for.
I didn't know the behavior was something I was thinking about later... just flashing. How long have we been dancing on the palms of His Majesty the Mage?
Though I thought about it, I had no idea. In the first place, the non-is obviously here because this one has his hands first.
Above all, he was just amazed at the inner surface of Tircia as well.
How many would have been surprised by that confession of sin and frightened of retribution from the damaged country again?
But at the same time, I think some people felt hard about Tircia. … even if it is for the good of the country, it must be a sin. With Tircia, that was understandable.
But that confession of sin wasn't 'just a confession' or anything like that. I knew it so I could stay calm on the spot.
... because not long before that, I had heard more from the Marquis of Leckbari. that it is' something that makes sense '.
Reminds me of my conversation with the Marquis Leckbari. A bunch of 'kind words', including earaches. Take care of it.
"King, we're about to begin [the Enchanter's Entertainment] involving all of Sarovara, right?
"Princess Tircia's sins, as I have just taught you. But the magician was interested because he was such a princess'
'To be honest, I'm not sure what Mizuki wants to do either. Well, she loved [playing on top of each other's interests]. Depending on Princess Tircia, I think this country will change dramatically.'
'Now, there will still be nothing but discomfort with Sarovara. But Mizuki [obtained permission for personal retaliation]. That child will retaliate more effectively than this. I had a place with Princess Tircia for that, I think.'
In the words of the Marquis Leckbari, I had no words to return. Can I believe it as it is, or are you thinking of the worst retaliation? You can't possibly know how to answer the ambiguous way that you can receive both of them.
"The presence, the connections, of a magician that the people of this country tried to use. With the addition of those who are grasping evidence of corruption in this country, more can be done.... more [fun] than that, for Mizuki. '
'We know that you have broken your heart because of this country. But! It was too conservative. Can't you even rephrase that?... put off the problem and made it worse.'
'I am prepared for disrespect. But do you not know that this is also the perception of those in other countries? Common sense, such as problems getting worse over time… just protecting it doesn't improve anything'
Oh, yeah. Exactly! I was in the mood to cry out.
I just think at the same time... I wonder what I should have done. Without a special talent or many allies, I am the best at maintaining my country and awkwardly defending my daughters.
Because I understand that better than anyone else, I can't put myself on a dangerous bet or anything.
But the excuse I didn't put into words... seemed to have been spotted by the Marquis Leckbari.
From the perspective of Non, you seem very blessed, don't you? My country, His Royal Highness Elshon, and Mizki, an otherworldly man and magician. Neither of them, [if you weren't good, you couldn't keep your current position]. '
"You know the circumstances of His Highness, don't you? With that in mind, I had to show my talent just to convince others. Because we know that, the Argents, under His Highness's command, are also competent [to become]. Never, never without effort '
"Well, Mizuki is a different world. You've seen it with your own eyes… as if the people of this country cared less about Mizuki unconsciously. It's normal to be recognized like that. That's no longer normal because [that kid himself made me try to get results] '
"The Magic Master is the scourge of the world and a feared being. However, Mizki has not carried out any large-scale killings or destruction. I was afraid that [I became a collaborator of the country's leading players and I used everything to achieve results]. That was easy... supposedly?
'That girl doesn't think about self-preservation. Even a peculiar self uses a position, incites it with words, and creates a situation in which he can act. If you don't throw yourself out, you won't get that kind of result. That's why the guardians guide her more than they need to. "
"Have you ever been abandoned? Ready to be wounded...... were you even prepared to lose your trusted subordinates and try to change your country? At least you weren't chosen as Mizuki's [Player] '
I was stunned by the facts I was told. Because they are magicians, because they are called the worst swords, because they are called demon kings... because they were unconscious of such perception that they are 'made and deserved'.
Because their actions were always accompanied by consequences. I've never heard anything about the hardships and failures that come with it.
But I guess that was just intentionally hidden. 'It would be more advantageous to make them think [that they can and naturally]'. Probably for that reason.
And at the same time, it bothered me.
'Players' as Marquis Leckbari calls it. That would be about Tircia. But from what I've heard so far, I wonder if Tircia should be in a hostile relationship with the Demon Master.
Marquis Leckbari, who felt such a question of mine, smiled with a frightened but enjoyable grin.
"Mizuki has nothing to do with [good] or [evil]. What matters is a profitable settlement for each other, and the result...... well, you just have fun! It's the owner of a troubled personality. His Royal Highness had a head, too."
"Non is sympathetic to your situation. So I'll give you one piece of advice '
"After a discussion with Princess Tircia, perhaps the Magic Instructor will have fun playing. The prey... you are more neglected."
'In that case, Princess Tircia will be on Mizki's side. No, would it be easier to understand if I said [Princess Tircia as a collaborator, playing with the people of this country]?
"Princess Tircia's talent will also be tested. Do you see the Wizard as just an enemy, or do you join hands? This will dramatically change the future of this Sarovara. … Mizuki is now limited in what he can do in this country. '
"May I? You must never speak to the two [plays]. Even if Princess Tircia is cursed as a traitor, please understand that even that voice is [something to use] for both of us. '
Anxiety and expectations twitched into my chest. But the Marquis of Leckbari never stops words.
'Mizuki's collaborators are not you. However, you are the king… If the supreme power in this country praises you, the play will easily end. That's not what Princess Tircia wants, is it?
I thought that meant I was' not worthy of trust '.
But he noticed that Marquis Leckbari shook his head sideways to deny it.
'Cause your readiness will be shown later. Suitable material, no, in this case, it would be better to say that only you can.'
With that said, Marquis Leckbari smiled for some reason… for some reason.
Even though I had a bad feeling, I was relieved to know there was something I could do. Exactly, it's pitiful to leave it to the two of us like this.
If he accepted the advice, the Marquis of Leckbari nodded satisfactorily as well. There, he realized he was expecting [the two of us to play] again, and again, it would be for the record that his anxiety had passed.
... Marquis Leckbari is going to have so much fun, it must definitely not end with just retaliation.
Strange certainty, but that's what I thought then. In the first place, the Marquis Leckbari is also a person who is not a glimmer.
Such a person warns you to 'stay out of the way'. It would have been helpless to be vigilant.
'Now it's time to head for a look. Will this country be a hang-up to change, or will it end with that? The battle between the Wise Princess and the Wizard begins. "
With that said, Marquis Leckbari seems convinced that Tircia will take the hand of the Magic Master. I don't know why you think that, but I guess that's also Tircia's assessment.
And at the same time, I was determined.
As a king, I felt sorry for you as a parent. But if there's anything you need at the end of this fight...... I was wondering if I could take a bet.
"Trust in His Majesty the Magic Guide". She seems like someone who can calmly identify things. If she ever asked me to help, I wanted to help her live up to that expectation.
Given the common name 'disaster of the world', and the previous words and actions of His Holiness the Wizard, it would have to be called a dangerous bet. Whatever it is, the people of this country are too badly impressed upon His Majesty the Mage.
Still. If Tircia can believe in His Majesty the Wizard, I'd like to believe it, too.
… even if things go in the wrong direction, I should carry the consequences. It is then that we shall let our country martyr with our negative heritage.
So determined, I even smiled with a thin smile and headed for the moment. After that... well, it was exactly what Marquis Leckbari expected.
"'The Magic Instructor's Retaliation'... No, 'Entertainment'? Damn, I've been working on it for a long time."
Stop the recap and drop your eyes on the "plan" presented by the Magic Master's Hall. Using personal connections and even involving other countries it was… quite massive.
No, besides being large, I feel we are developing into a reform that is in the history of Sarovara. No one can believe it was civilians who made this plan.
But it's not bad.
There will be quite a rebellion, and it will be a struggle. It can't all go according to the plan, it's going to be necessary to adjust to the requirements and work with other countries.
Still, I'm proud to be the one involved in it, no, 'we'. I don't know how many years it will take, but surely Sarovara will change.
Even today, the Master of Magic will be working for a 'personal smell'. We have to do what we have to do while she draws attention.
Well... as far as the report goes, I don't even feel like there's a slight problem with the Wizard. It must be trivial, I'm sure.
Soon, the messengers of the nations that have suffered Tircia will arrive. It was on that occasion that I was entrusted with it. You can't hit a bad hand to connect in the future.
First, an apology for what Tircia did. This is in the form of a linkage with the plan of His Majesty the Mage, and compensation is paid to the damaged country.
I made a firm apology, even in the sense of putting it on record, and had to discuss what was to come. I have heard from the Mage Master that it has been notified there too... pity, but we will have to follow the measures of the Mage Master.
But diplomacy, which is supposed to be depressing, even seems exciting this time around. The Guardian of His Majesty the Wizard and His Highness the Elshon are among the reasons.
Until now, I've just been on guard, the perfect second prince with too much magic. Talking to him face to face will also help him to know a new side.
I'm sure there are things I didn't realize... because that demon master admires him as his' owner '.
It was Tircia who taught him that. Why 'owner' rather than 'guardian' is a mystery... do you know why too?
"Well, let's get back to work."
That's right, squealing, gripping the pen again. I was in a rare, sunny mood.
