The Magician Wants Normality

"None of you here will admit that you are more busy than His Highness Elshun.And from my perspective, the way you treat Agnos is close to "Cute, self-proclaimed owner who just cares about keeping it."If you call yourself your daughter, and if you forget to look at your beloved woman, why can't you talk to her often?

― ― The words pointing at me by the woman who named me the magician did not have a word to return.

Whether Agnus has special circumstances or not, I love him.No, 'I meant to love you'.

Royalties and nobles, like civilians, do not raise children directly by their parents.

Compared to me, it was the nurses and maids who had been beside me since childhood, and the side service chosen by my parents.

I've never questioned that.Because I'm not the only one with a special environment, but other people take it for granted.

However, from the magician's point of view, it is not enough.

If you say 'my daughter', you should have confronted Agnus.

"You may not be familiar with the situation, but royalties and nobles don't raise children directly from their parents."

He managed to talk about it, but the magician was not convinced.

"Still, we need to share information and communicate, right?

What?

"If you're a nobleman, there's a lot of 'talking directly between parents and children' about territory, about the faction your house belongs to, about the progress of your child's studies..."

"Hmm. I'm convinced of the territory and faction, but isn't it enough to report on the progress of the study?

If that report is correct.

"Ha...?

I don't understand the meaning and ask back.The wizard... looked interesting.

"Because you can 'deliberately falsify or distort the report'.At the very least, do you need to make sure that the report is correct yourself?

"But it's a report from someone I trust quite a bit.

"If you could, would you be aware of Agnus's situation?

"Nh....!

I lost my words to the meaning contained therein.The Wizard says in the dark... 'I was betrayed as a result of my unconditional belief'.

At the same time, you are pointing out my sweetness.'If I had checked to see if the report was true, this would not have happened'!

I want to say it back, but the words don't come out.... there's no way I can argue.

Though I know what you know, I'm convinced somewhere in my head.

If I was facing Agnus, I would say a word more often, and if I was aware of the situation... 'I could have prevented this'.

I'm sure that's what the wizard is trying to say.That's why you're pointing at my clumsiness and blaming me in the dark.

As he felt thirsty, he confronted the magician again.The woman in front of me seemed strangely horrified, even though I heard that I had dropped Harvis' fortress.

Because...

The wizard is always smiling.

My eyes aren't laughing as I smile at this scene.

Once I realize it, I realize that she doesn't like the feelings she's pointing at me.

In fact, you're staring at me like you caught a prey, with a deeper smile than before.... waiting for my words.

That's all. That's all I'm supposed to say... don't be so rude, you'll have feelings similar to a sense of crisis.

Speaking of magicians, you can't use magic here.

Why do you feel similar feelings to fear...?

"Oh, you shut up.I said, "My daughter," and I didn't take proper care of it even though I knew I had a "blood clot," so I need a convincing answer. "

"Am I in trouble...?

"After all, you can say as much as you like, 'I did it right' in your mouth.What's important is that the victims - Ilfena and Zebrest - and Carlosa, who happened to be involved in the defeat of the raiders, are they 'convinced or not'?

"Gh...!

That way, I can't blame her for what she said.

Too disrespectful a way to silence one's identity on a shield… In that case, it is no wonder that I was' silenced because it was not convenient 'by the people in this room.

Her eyes twinkled towards the queen, and her face bluished.She also felt the wizard's temptations, and she seemed to be strengthening her vigilance.

In the meantime, the magician continued to repeat his words in an unchanging tone.

"Is it because you know somewhere in your head that you can't argue?Or did he try to deceive you with consciousness?

"No! I really..."

"Or is it not accepted as a fact?"If I admit it, I was indifferent to the daughter left behind by my beloved, the deceased."Ah, or... "

Once the words were cut off, the wizard smiled with an innocent look.

"You don't want to be pointed out because you're aware of everything, right?

To the poison named word after word, I scream inside.Still, the surrounding people will not stop the wizard.It is as if she were their representative.

……

Indeed, I am aware that I have continued to be distracted from reality.That's what the wizard said, and that's all he had to admit.

But I was asked by the late flank to talk about Agnus.

That fact makes me suffer.Your beloved queen's expectations and thoughts trampled on everything... 'I didn't have the ability to keep that oath', whispers to me.

"Harvis, the king's will is most respected.Then we could have dealt with it as much as we wanted.There was someone to advise me.There were people who complained and gave opinions.... you have a duty to answer more than just ignoring them and persisting in your will.There must have been a reason for that. "

"....."

I was convinced that she was criticizing me for the wizard who smiled at me.I wonder if this question is a criticism from the wizard.

I have heard that the wizard is very close to His Highness Elshun.Even from the "everyday" mentioned earlier, I could see it.

Then her anger is natural.I'm naming a magician... no, I can't do anything more than 'I'm allowed to name it'.

Having said that, the official protest in this case should be conducted by Ilfena.The attack on the fort has also been reported to have healed the soldiers' wounds, so is this a small retaliation?

... but...

Such an idea of mine will soon disappear.

"The people in this room are listening to us.And this is only a confirmation of the situation, not a formal apology.... I'm looking forward to what you say in a formal apology. "

"Fun...?

"Yes! Because I hit you with a 'natural question' beforehand.How can silence be tolerated in real life without answering now?So, "I asked in advance so that I could answer properly in production."You can't just give me time to put my thoughts together, can you?

That's what I asked in advance!And the magician kept on having fun.At that moment, the queen forced her face to stretch.

"No way... was it a stone to keep us silent...?

"Now that you're here to apologize, do you think it's natural to be honest about everything?Still, you are the supreme power in a country.Silence will make it difficult to force you to open your mouth.... but I'm not nice enough to forgive that. "

While answering the queen's words, the wizard does not lose sight of me.

"You can't be more than here to apologize sincerely and protect your country, can you?No matter how humiliating or stunned others are, telling the truth is the only solution. "

"Truth is...."

"If the words are cloudy, I will ask.And 'honestly' answer me.Oh, it's bad luck to ask for sympathy.In that case, we're just waiting for further pursuit. "

Don't think you can escape...?

The magician closes his eyes like a cat targeting a prey, and the magician deepens his smile.With that smile, I predicted the "disaster that would happen if I escaped", and unforeseenly froze my spine.

"We encourage you to convince Ilfena as much as possible.This time, Ilfena will take precedence as a 'country', so if Ilfena is convinced, I won't do anything. "

"Is Zebrest okay?

"Rudolph... King Zebrest has made the same choice as me."

And the wizard asked King Zebrest, and King Zebrest nodded in vain.The peace of mind seemed to make it clear how close they were.

At the same time, we realize that there is no escape anymore.

This is the advice of the wizard and King Zebrest.

He is threatening, "If it is ambiguous, it will not be enough."

"Rudolph, are you sure that's okay?I don't think you're keeping your mouth shut about the "country" called Zebrest. "

"I'm telling you, I'll follow Ilfena's decision, and if Mizuki's going to retaliate, we're not going anywhere."

Well, yeah.

The conversation is between His Highness Elshun and King Zebrest.Even though the tone and expression are reassuring as if they are talking to the public, the content cannot be ignored.

Suddenly, His Highness Elshun turned his face towards me.

"I hate to say this, but Mizuki... the wizard is really fierce.However, if you set it up first and use the "blood clot" as a reason, you have no choice but to be convinced.Because the wizard is called "The Disaster of the World."Isn't the end of the country famous for pissing the wizard off?

That's why there's no escape.

I felt told that.Even if I don't want to deny it, the magician in front of me - if the report is not false - is lightly dropping our fort.

Her appearance is consistent with the report, and given her track record so far... she couldn't say 'impossible'.

I... we were afraid of a country called Ilfena.But at the same time, he was optimistic that there was a way to make things easier because it was the country that pissed him off.

--That hope was just shattered.

It was the Wizard himself who pushed us into the situation and made us realize.Even at a time like this, I can't cut myself back immediately. It's pathetic.

I... wonder what I've built up so far.
