There was Lucas Gallagher in the royal cemetery present in the Royal Palace basement of the Kingdom of Weather.
The old man looks terrible. One arm is chopped a thousand times, and if he burns all over his body, he's drilling holes and bleeding everywhere. Only a magician's robe killed and robbed a catacombs watch. Nothing else. All, just one boy took it from me.
"All the time...... all the time Jared Murphy, I had no idea he was such a magician. But, well, fine. It's the end of the story. If we can only get that power, we can do anything."
Lucas was not dead. He lived as much as he attacked not strangely when he died.
In front of Jared's eyes, it became mud and melted because he used all the magic he had left to escape. Thanks to you, there's nothing left of magic right now, just an old man.
But nothing like that comes of it. The purpose will soon be fulfilled.
No one knows the true purpose of the old man. My son, of course, even the boy who pushed himself. Because Lucas has never spoken of a true purpose.
It is true that we want to create an ideal state for magicians. Nor does it change the belief that magicians are better than non-magicians and that it is right to be rulers.
- But that's about as far as it goes after you've achieved your real purpose, such as that.
"Where is it, where is it? It's the power I've been looking for for for years."
"Is this what you're looking for?
Unexpectedly the boy's voice echoed in the catacombs.
"Who!
The Lord of the Voice was behind it. A flax-haired boy who can only be seen in his mid-teens, leaving him young. And a peach-haired girl who looks even younger than that boy.
"Oh, oh... no way, you... Lady Rasmus, Lady Almeida"
Lucas knew. No, I should say I remember. I can't forget. Because he is a prince of the country where the old man once lived and a court magician.
"Why are you here?
"Yeah. I've always wondered what you wanted to do, but you finally realized what you were looking for. I can't believe you're trying to unseal our ancestors. No, you can't. That's contraindicated."
Lucas erased his expression to Rasmus' words. I never dreamed that the ambition I've been hiding would be found out by the person I least want to be known for coming here, etc.
"Dear Rasmus, you know you can destroy a country like this in no time if you only get that power. I can rebuild your country and you can take the throne. If magicians have fallen to such an extent that they are not magicians, then it is really easy!
"Am I on the throne? I hope you don't make me laugh. You're the one who wants to take the throne, aren't you?
"... I just want what was taken from me by the Kingdom of Weather. For that reason, it is the duty of the nation to survive."
"I hope you honestly want to be king. You've been planning on getting everything for 500 years, haven't you?
No response. The old man just keeps staring at the boy's face in silence.
"If I knew my thoughts wouldn't come true while thinking about my sister, I would try to take them with strength. We used the Weathered Kingdom, which was still a small country, to ravage and take our country. Count Gallagher, he didn't have a title, he was just a magician, and you were born a long time ago."
"You knew? That I sold the country?
"I didn't know that at the time. If I live long enough to get in, I can collect and organize information. Well, that's also why I'm telling you that no one else has survived."
For Lucas, Rasmus is his lord's family. Someone to support. But the sentiments that make it are not in the old man. I've never respected him before.
"Honestly, I had a head for what you did. I wanted to rebuild while destroying the country, I hated magicians. You make the land of magicians? It's full of contradictions."
"... be"
"Once you served your country as a magician, but you were a mediocre human being everywhere. You hated people better than yourself, and you were frustrated that only good magicians were appreciated. It is the royal stepdaughter that you fell in love with. [M] You had ambitions that you wanted to be. I tried to involve my sister in that ambition. That's why I banished you from the royal palace. I miss it."
"... rarely"
"I didn't think you'd succeed as a magician over a long period of time. You've been blessed with children, too. Leonard is a wonderful magician. You'll be proud of yourself, too. More, he was only a tool of his father, but still had great talent. If it weren't for you, I'd have stretched his talent and led him as a good magician."
"Shut up!"
The old man blocks the boy's words by spitting.
"You don't know anything! What thoughts do you think I have of selling my country! You don't even know why I used the Kingdom of Weather! It has something to do with Princess Mae and you. So it can't be. I just wanted to get my ancestors!
Lucas sacrificed all of his blood to the families he was in at the time. Unlike the present, it was easy to manipulate because the king of the Weathered Kingdom at the time was a greedy man. If you souvenir the magic called secret moves and the presence of your original ancestors, the arrogant king greeted it.
And the ravages began. The Kingdom of Weather, along with its allies, attacked one country. It took only one night to destroy the most magical nation on the continent.
There are no prisoners. Killed women and children equally, and destroyed royal blood families, and burned all the nobles.
But I also got a painful resistance. By the magicians of the court, our allies were destroyed. Only ten magicians have ravaged all the soldiers. But in that gap, the Kingdom of Weather succeeded in destroying the royalty of the magical state.
The war was a win if we took away those who were to defend how many court magicians would be a thousand strong men a horse.
Lucas was pleased that his ambitions would come true as he watched his family and friends get killed. But there will also be miscalculations that he could not have anticipated.
The arrogant king was murdered by a prince with the right heart. The prince, who was only a child, called what his father king was doing evil and absolved him.
"I didn't expect our country to perish because of the crap ambitions of just one man. But you couldn't accomplish it either."
"That's right. The only miscalculation was that that prince sealed that the original ancestors were as dangerous as you. No one is told where to seal it, only the king will inherit the information of his original ancestors from generation to generation. Thanks to you, it's taken me hundreds of years to find a place!
"So you made an outrage against the country, such as treason. At first glance, it's a national takeover, but the real purpose is to break into the catacombs. I wanted to serve my purpose without anyone knowing."
"Exactly. I found a place for my ancestors, you don't have to put up with them any more! I get power, I leave everything to myself!
