The Magician Wants Normality

― ― At the Royal Castle of Sarovara (Lillian's perspective)

"... thank goodness"

When I read the letter from Mizuki-san, I muttered unexpectedly.

Of course, the contents of this letter are about Agnos. It must have been because we cared about her that she taught us in the form of a 'personal letter'.

The one that comes to mind is Agnos, who spent a few days in Sarovara.

Mizuki-san said "a child of mental age", but Agnos-sama didn't think so immediately after coming to Sarovara.

No child as pure as a toddler can show his or her will.

Instead of being a good listener, I thought so. "It used to be different..."

I guess it's because I've been saying a lot of things about myself so far... what do you call it? It just seems really strange.

You might have been convinced that if you were completely like a doll, you would have been forbidden from giving out your ego thoroughly.

However... Lord Agnos was clearly different.

When the discomfort came out of her mouth, onee-sama felt contempt for [someone].

What I remember is the exchange with my older sister at the time.



“She must have remembered to play the part of 'someone' before she established herself.”

At a young age, Agnos-sama was said to be wise. In that case, it shouldn't have been impossible to play [someone] 's wish.

But I was wondering.

"Onee-sama, no matter how good Agnos-sama is, will he not notice even those around him... especially those who are close to him?"

No matter how good Mr. Agnos is, it is impossible to perfect him without learning from someone.

In the first place, Agnos-sama must have been about a single digit old at that time.

If you have a certain degree of familiarity, such as the performance of a child who has no one to teach you that kind of thing, you will be noticed.

Then, why didn't anyone point that out?

Since Lord Agnos is the daughter of His Majesty King Harvis, it is impossible for him to be left alone.

That's why it seemed so strange... because I was protected and loved by my father and sister.

"... I don't think anyone really thought of Agnos."

Huh?

"It was convenient for them to play Agnos." That's why, even if I felt uncomfortable, I guess I didn't see it. "

I was stunned by the words of oneesan, who spoke bitterly of her predictions. No matter what you think, it's not how you treat the "beloved princess" or "beloved daughter".

... but I also felt that it was the right thing to do.

Mizuki said that Agnos-sama was the mother of the deceased side room.

However, as for the nanny who wished for Agnos-sama's happiness, she said that her main mother was Agnos-sama.

Is it possible that Agnos-sama acted on his own volition and played the form he wanted for his mother and the people around him, but they shut their mouth...?

If you really want to do it for Agnos, you will never do it.

Master Agnos, kill yourself and leave your personality impaired...!

"Fufu... you're a good girl, Lillian." I can't believe you're mad at me for Agnos. "

For some reason, onee-sama smiled with satisfaction.

"That is the salvation of Agnos." Besides, even if you are unconscious, you will know that those who have made her [like that] will not like it anymore. "

"Are you going to...?"

"Yes, because Mizuki said 'Agnos was not particularly sad when he left Harvis'."

"Ah...!"

"If no one was facing Agnos, it's no wonder no one needed it."

I was flattered by your words.

Yes, yes, 'Even though Lord Agnos was banished from the motherland, he was not sad at all!'

Even if you don't feel anxious because of the influence of [blood stain], if you are obsessed with someone, you will cry like a toddler and hate being pulled away.

If you look at Agnos-sama who is gradually nostalgic for Mizuki-san, you can easily think of such a figure.

I thought it was a very light-hearted thing, but maybe it was because there was no one who treated me like Mizuki's sister.

"Mizuki wouldn't want to do anything more to Harvis. However, Agnos' nostalgia for anyone other than Harvis will be more retribution than ever.”

"If you realize your mistakes and reflect on them, I think you can hope to improve your relationship in the future..."

"I can't, because Mizuki has promised me that he won't be involved with Agnos in the future." "There's no such thing as a 'future'."

--I wonder how long you've been thinking about it, I have no mercy.

Having said that, the smile that appeared on your sister's face seemed satisfying.

Since your sister admitted to you, you might have been happy with your close friend's sharp move.

At the same time, I was compelled to feel so much love and good fortune for myself.

"I can redirect you..." I'm sure it's a very fortunate thing.

"Present" is because father, sister, deceased mother, people with loyalty to the royal family, people from other countries, and... more importantly, Mizuki's sister moved.

It is by no means a matter of course. No, I was aware of it, but it was much bigger [luck] than I had imagined. I can see that now.

In dealing with Lord Agnos, I will notice many things as well. Somehow, I had that feeling.



"Good for you, Lillian."

Yes!

She's happy with the oneesan who heard my murmur.

It seems that onee-sama also managed Agnos-sama in some way, so she was relieved that Agnos-sama was living happily in the church.

At the same time, I noticed something to reflect on myself.

"... onee-sama, I was self-satisfied and I was doing Mizuki-san a terrible" "Please" "."

I was aware that it was a hypocritical wish. However, it was only possible because Mizuki-san had no fence and had the skills to negotiate with other countries.

"Without the intervention of others, Ilfena and Zebrest, who are our most important allies, cannot move... What kind of negotiations did Mizuki-san have?"

"I see... I can't think of anything, and I'm sure she won't talk to me about it."

……

You will be depressed by your own inexperience. No matter how much Mizuki-san agreed with me, I shouldn't have asked for it.

If you're forced to go through with it, you're bound to need some kind of consideration. Mizuki-san couldn't have been unaware of it.

It's amazing how Mizuki-san can make it happen, but it can't be easy to take it on.

At that time, your father and sister's attitude was because they understood the situation correctly.

... but onee-sama stroked my head in a good mood.

"Great, you took care of yourself."

Huh?

"I think Mizuki listened to your request, as well as your education." After all, it was Mizuki who became the party in this case, wasn't it, Lillian? "

"Yes....."

"So, this time, you see things from a third-party standpoint, and you know that you must not make a decision that is easily shed in love." If Lillian had been a party, you would have had some consequences and some appreciation for yourself. 'I learned without being hurt', this time. "

……

In response to your words, I realized that Mizuki-san had thought of me too.

Mizuki's sister is chewing on Sarovara's rebirth, so my growth is part of the plan.

However, onee-san would like to say that she gave me this opportunity because she wanted to grow.

I'm convinced by your words, onee-sama. At that time, Onee-san Mizuki seemed to be urging me to express my opinions.

"Really... I'm blessed, aren't I?"

Happiness, a little bit of pity, and even more joy... she nodded as she spoke while infiltrating such emotions.

Let's do our best.

Yes!

My path will almost never meet that of Lord Agnos, who has been unlocked from all the fences.

However, I would like to remember my days with Agnos, including those that he made me aware of.

It was also a "lucky event" for me.
