The Magician Wants Normality
A knight's monologue and inexplicable emotions
- That was the beginning of a single invitation.
"A night club hosted by King Kivera?
"Yes! Gradually, things are going to clear up. Now I can introduce you as my fiancée."
Lilier is in a good mood to see. It was like being trapped in a hall all the time, so he's happy to be out in a glorious place for the first time in a long time.
I was secretly relieved to find out that this Duke's house was safe for her to look like that. Even when it comes to night clubs, there are extreme parts where you can enjoy a gorgeous place. Especially for the women, it can be a headache inside.
- Leelier is looking forward to the night club because she has nothing to worry about.
While dresses and ornaments are fashionable, minimal outfits are also mandatory beyond participation. But I can't say dresses, etc., because the fabrics, designs, and gems used in them all lead to 'the financial power of the house' and 'the ability to gather information'.
In other words, just by looking at them, some 'state of the house' becomes known. It would also be natural for people's gaze to become worthy and seemingly certain.
Ornaments can be used around, but dresses don't. There will be more opportunities to make new dresses than attending frequent nightclubs.
These were very mind-boggling projects for financially powerless ladies and ladies. Anyway, dropping off a night club is also about losing opportunities to build new connections and gather information.
In the first place, a valuable meeting place for those who are not married or even have no fiancée. Unless there was a political engagement, there were not many people looking for someone to marry at night clubs.
"Master Lüze will escort me, won't he?
"Oh, of course"
If I smiled and answered, Lilier laughed happily. Keep it up, you're in a good mood and you're holding onto one of my arms.
"We're going to have a revelation at home, but we can be proud of everyone one foot away. Phew... Our love is like a story."
……
Is that a word for 'breaking the marriage that was decided a month later and choosing Leelier'?
Or do you mean, "I made King Alberda [acknowledge] our company"?
I don't know which one you're talking about, but to call it 'love like a story' would be a little too dirty. It wasn't just me, Leelier, but also because I was honest with my heart - arrogant in her case.
"It's been a long time since I've had a night club, and I'd like some decorations that fit the dress I just tailored."
You don't realize how I feel, and it already seems like Leelier's head is full of fun nightclubs. He looks adorable snuggling innocently, but he thinks he's up to something because he knows that there's some unexpected arrogance lurking inside him.
"I'm sure everyone will bless you. It looks like your father and mother could be with you."
"The Dukes are admitting to me, aren't they?"
"I've had a lot to talk about, but I've been longing for a romantic marriage. So we were both happy."
…… Really? "
Smile and snort, but something disgusting spreads across my chest. There was no clear form, but a deliberate 'something' disturbed my mind.
Until now...... yes, I never thought of it this way until before I came to Kivera. Luckily given all of a sudden, my mood should have just been exhilarating. 'Chosen' - because I was so confident.
If Leelier had been an innocent, just a courtier admiring love, she wouldn't have taken that hand. It was Leelier's position to make the decision that chose her, and most importantly, because she felt her own ambition and arrogance.
It wasn't just a brittle thing called love, it was a match of interest that connected us.
Being unconscious and a leelier with an inferiority towards royalty, you should be able to be my understander with ambition. Financial power and status are important, but Rosa can only shackle me.
Sounds good to me, but Rosa was too abnegate. I wouldn't even think about using the position of 'Princess Christa's Friend' in that one, it would be a lifetime of just living a life that suits my identity.
I wasn't kidding. My grandfather's will and all that, and I'll be the Kingsguard for days like that...!
Living honestly alone is not something noble society can do. At least for those who are as ambitious and aspire to be up there as I am. If you work for the Royal Castle, you don't like it.
... For me, the hand reached out from Lilier was certainly something that could be called 'luck' or 'salvation'. There will be difficulties with her character, but if her presence helps me, I will laugh and accept.
- Yes, I thought so. Not until this night club starts.
A nightclub venue visited by four people, including the Dukes and Leelier, and me. The group that was there, for better or worse, stood out, gathering people's gaze. But that's not all I thought was odd.
I first felt... uncomfortable, didn't I? There's no obvious hostility, but I can't wipe the atmosphere like it's being observed from around me.
If it were to be the Duke's house, but also the daughter-in-law of a former princess, it would naturally attract some attention. Its influence is something that you can't fool around with, and if you buy offense poorly, you'll be crushed instantly.
But that's not the only reason I feel uncomfortable. Somehow, you get the impression that you're being watched.
Because the Leeliers are flat, even I have trouble dealing with them. Besides, Leelier was surrounded by 'friends' and didn't notice my confused expression.
Eventually, the Dukes found someone beside an earlier group and called us and went over there. And... there must have been something.
People's bragging, curious gaze, voiceless expectations of 'watching' our actions.
He was feeling uncomfortable taking me with him, and Leelier followed the Dukes. No, 'that purpose changed from the middle of nowhere' to be exact. Because a group of people who were ridiculing themselves to surround women dressed like military uniforms had all the beautiful ones.
It's only natural that Leelier would be interested in them. They don't seem to be from this country, but they are undoubtedly nobles. The outfit is the majority of those dressed as knights, but the ornament worn subtly is definitely a magic item.
The demonic stones used, and the shapes that serve as decorations enough, the jewels that are used… any one would be an impossible substitute for the lower nobility.
I wondered if they were human beings from different countries. Sarovara is present in Ilfena, Zebrest, Corbella and Carlossa, and indeed the knights of various countries.
What the country doesn't know is military uniforms? only a woman and two male aristocrats wrapped around. But with so many knights from so many countries, there is no other possibility.
Inside, beside me in surprise, Lilier secretly raised her mouth angle. If you follow that gaze... the first prince of Kivera, who should have been removed from the king prince. He is, to Leelier, a man who hits his cousin.
Of course, Leelier wasn't happy to see his cousin. I suppose you thought it would be a good idea to talk to a beautiful group.
In the first place, the first prince of Kivela should have been the one who nearly caused the situation one step ahead of his demise: 'Kivela is defeated by a demon mentor'. It was thought that Leelier's leeway came from that point as well.
"Long time no see, brother Lucas"
I go out of my way to put it on 'Brother' and take an attitude that I just don't say is close to you, Lilier. But the first prince just truncated Leelier's idea and other prospects. Again, I doubt that.
The First Prince is certainly no longer the King Prince. In other words, 'Until then, it was the first right to inherit the throne'! If you assume a blood relationship with Leelier, it's not surprising to be close.
But the First Prince - Master Lucas treats Lilier with an attitude that doesn't mean he's uncomfortable. It's like... it's like saying, 'Shame on Kivera'!
What's this all about? Given Leelier's position, no matter how much he doesn't care about being eaten, he should avoid attitudes that would make him suspect him of being unfriendly with the royal family.
The Duke of Alogancia is the back shield of the second prince in charge of the next generation, and that should have been all but unshakeable, beyond the fact that the Lady is the sister of King Quivera.
Confused in my sight were... women in military uniforms, and knights watching her proudly. I was surprised that a woman who did not hide being cordial with Master Lucas was a demon mentor who defeated Kivela, but what was more surprising than that was the 'character of the demon mentor'.
A Magic Instructor is a 'disaster of the world'. I thought the personality, the way it is, would be exhausted to a harsh word. 'Cause, right? It's not normal for an individual to lose his country, no matter what he thinks.
Though the foolish powerful who wanted to take the Magic Instructor into their own country have an affair, the 'country' includes' civilians too '. It's unusual to destroy it in its entirety.
However, the achievements of the wizard in front of you are very different from those of the wizards you have previously heard.
Results, but minimal sacrifice.
We also have friendly relations and personal relationships with kings from all over the country.
Sometimes even the invitation to fight together benefits them.
Previous perceptions don't work, "inexplicable beings". "Creatures born in different worlds".
That was the Wizard's perception for me. Ning Lo, I even think you were the one who was judging accurately. For whatever reason, there is even a strangely good man's name for such a wizard as the "Sinful Wizard."
But I would be reminded that the idea was sweet.
'Her guardians hear the majority of the Duke's family. So, no wonder Lord Magic is more in charge of escorts?
As soon as the majority of the knights surrounding her became aware that they were guardians, Leelier's 'friends' insulted the guardians, unaware that they were.
Heart to heart, tongue to tongue at its stupidity, but the words you utter once will not return. And... worst of all, Lilier and the 'friends' didn't recognize the seriousness of the matter.
But there's no way the Wizard will miss it. As soon as she heard the words...... 'I laughed'. It's like saying I found a toy, but I laughed deeper for fun!
The guardians who saw it also laughed. It's like, 'The time has come!' After all the gazing at each other, they were turning their hoped-for eyes to the magician.
- And.
"It's also true that you doubted their strength. As I said earlier, the guardians are mostly Duke people. Naturally, there is more pride than being born in such a house and living in its present position through its own efforts. '
The words of the Wizard, who was told to meet their expectations, were a reminder of that trust, no matter how anyone heard it.
The Wizard, who is supposed to be an otherworldly man, 'understands' them… the way they are. I don't know how much had happened before that happened, but the Mage was undoubtedly one of them.
- Being not only protected, but protected and sometimes deposited back.
Those words come to mind. In fact, earlier words seeped anger underestimating the guardians. I'm trying to be fun, but that magician is definitely angry.
I guess I wasn't the only one who felt that way. The words of the guardians that followed should also be deliberate, but for some reason, I get the impression that we're all playing. … it goes without saying that the 'prey' of that 'play' is us.
"Envy."
It's supposed to be horrible, but for some reason, those words come to mind. The country is different, the existence to serve is different, and yet it embraces the Wizard as its core. So suddenly, I understood.
- They say they're heartfelt 'fun'. He said he was proud of this relationship!
The Wizards and Guardians enjoyed the situation even though the conversation between Master Lucas and the Wizard only seemed to hunt us down. Leelier... No, it's just a heartbeat play for them when they say it leads to the elimination of those involved in the next generation, their chase.
I have the ability to just enjoy it.... trustworthy. The connection to the Magic Master, who deserves to be called "Disaster," is undoubtedly the pride of the Guardians.
In addition to that, the upright gaze of Sarovara's knight, who was in a position to follow the magician, hurt.
There are no guardians in Sarovara. But I'm still allowed to be here... because he also has the trust of the magicians.
Sure, I think I heard Princess Tircia of Sarovara is close to the Magic Instructor. So you went to the protection of the single, the Wizard, under the Lord's command?... Has it been judged by the Lord that he can be the guardian of the magician?
……
While we're at it, our sins will be revealed. The sincerity of His Majesty's words, which I thought were forgiven on my own, and the response that was required. We wouldn't have a bright future if we hadn't noticed all that.
Still, I'm going to try and scratch as much as I can than I chose this path. But it is also 'as Lilier's fiancée' and there is nothing you can do as a knight. That's why, it's empty.
I wanted to crawl up. So I became a Kingsguard at the end of my efforts.
But... I guess I wanted to be 'what'?
