Throne of Magical Arcana

While Aalto was still immersed in the sadness of the funeral during the day, Lucien was bidding farewell to Natasha in the midair near the Black Forest in the suburb of Merze, covered by darkness and clouds.

"Uncle Joel, they will trouble you Natasha there. I have a hunch that after the Dark Mountain delivery, there will be a great change in my life in a short period of time, which may prompt me to deal with arcane and magic. 'S research goes a step further, and as a result, it may increase the church's attention to me and expose my false death, so if John does not want to report me, please send someone secretly to supervise and guide. Minimize your suspicion before things are exposed. "

"Another reason why I wouldn't let you kill the clown with a sword is here. If you are colluding with me and knowing it, you will definitely ignore the killing and kill the mouth."

Lucian said to Natasha gently and sincerely.

Natasha, still wearing her plain black dress during the day, twitched: “It ’s really stressful to be friends with a magician like you. There seems to be more than one purpose behind doing something. Hello, Lucien, you do n’t Will there be other things to deceive me or have another purpose? "

It seemed like a lot, Lucien smiled a little embarrassedly: "No, no."

Natasha had a hearty character, and she just ridiculed a few words just now. At this time, seeing Lucian did n’t want to say anything, and he nodded solemnly: "If John refuses to report you within half a year, I will secretly apply pressure Yes. Rest assured, it wo n’t hurt them. "

After committing to this matter, Natasha said with a little excitement: "Lucien, there are many strange and powerful creatures in the dark mountains. There are hundreds of species just known, there are various dragons, fallen elves, trolls. , Deformed spiders, scarlet devil trees, lightning eagles, etc., you have to be careful. "

"And most ancient heritage magicians are cruel, indifferent, and ruthless. They are good at taboo experiments, manipulating people's hearts, and have no sense of life, things about themselves and some specific objects, except to make themselves strong and satisfy themselves. There is no other idea than desire. When dealing with them, you must be vigilant and alert. They are not the arcanists you met in the Magic Council. "

"Although you are sending a letter for a certain lord, judging from normal logic, the magic council or the will of the elements must be arranged and will not let you fall into a mortal situation, but we do things, it is best not to pin hope on others from the beginning. , You can only rely on yourself. "

Lucien just experienced a cruel farewell to the Joel family, and the mood was not very stable, so after feeling Natasha's undisguised care, she was very helpful, joking with a trace of joy: "Nata Sha, why do you feel a little regretful and excited when you describe dangerous creatures and ancient heritage magicians, instead of feeling your prudence? "

"Of course, don't you think it's fun and exciting to take risks in such dark mountains? It's a great enjoyment to fight against various strange creatures and appreciate different extraordinary powers." Natasha was enthusiastic and authentic And then sighed very regretfully: "I actually want to be with you after knowing that you are going to the Dark Mountains. This not only satisfies my longing and protects you, but I am the Earl of Violet and the future Grand Duke I have to take into account my people, my knights, and my nobles in every move, and my father is only a relative, and I am no longer qualified for a willful adventure. "

Although regrettable, she didn't complain at all. The education she received from childhood and her own personality made her accept it very understandingly.

Hearing Natasha ’s usual carelessness and outspoken expression of her intention to protect herself, Lucian was a little embarrassed: “It ’s okay, Natasha, I believe that with my strength, as long as I do n’t wander deep in the dark mountains I can cope with dark creatures. When I come back, I will tell you about the adventures and anecdotes of my personal experience. "

"Of course, I believe in your strength. You have a Holm crown ring on your body." Natasha nodded with confidence, then smiled like a fox and took out a pair of violet petal earrings: " This is the earrings that the elders sent me to keep the 'Fernando's Electromagnetic Communication' earrings. If you are in danger, you can notify me. I know you have similar items. Hey, although the storm field's lightning field blocked you and the Magic Council Contact, but in Aalto, you still have reinforcements. "

As a knight, she is more male than male. In addition to the formal dress for the New Year ’s banquet every year, she has never worn jewelry or other items, so until today, Lucien did n’t know she had such a magic item. The guess in my heart was sent by His Excellency Hathaway.

"If I am in danger, I will not arbitrarily refuse to ask you for help." Lucian nodded seriously, and suddenly some regrets rose and blurted out: "Unfortunately, the lightning field and the long distance of the Storm Channel make electromagnetic communication unstable. , Easy to be destroyed, otherwise we can contact us often. "

"Yeah, what a pity." Natasha was also sorry to think about this.

Lucien's thought came to mind: "Is it right to speed up the study of arcane art, and later send a few magic satellites to the sky as an intermediate station for communication, bypassing the storm channel, so that I can often talk to Natasha . "

"But if other magicians know that the birth of magic satellites and telecommunications magic is because a magician wants to contact a girl from a distance, will it be embarrassing, and whether the world is a planet or not, whether orbit is yet to be determined, I have to continue to explore and study ... "

"Lucien, what are you thinking?" Natasha saw Lucien silently, thinking that he was regretting the electromagnetic communication, and comforted: "It's okay, anyway, we can often communicate in the name of my uncle. Sometimes , Writing letters feels better than direct calls. "

Lucian, who was interrupted by Natasha's boundless association, regained her thoughts, slightly frightened and resisted: "Wait, why should I think so much? Isn't ... no, no, we are Good friend, she likes women! "

With a strange feeling in his heart, Lucian quickly rejected her inexplicable thoughts and gently nodded: "It's good to be able to keep writing and communicating, but we need to re-agree on the signs with different meanings so as not to be noticed by the church."

After the two agreed again, Natasha smiled broadly and brightly: "Lucien, I don't know how long it will take you to go back to the Dark Mountains, but according to normal calculations, you may miss your birthday. It ’s a pity that I did n’t be present on a birthday, so please allow me to invite you to an opening dance here, which is a happy birthday in advance. "

She bowed slightly, caressed her chest with her right hand, and stretched out with her left hand.

Lucian said in a funny and pleasurable way: "His Royal Highness, this man should invite you."

After a pause, Lucien smiled softly: "Since I met, Natasha, I have not been present on your birthday, so please allow me to invite you to dance this opening dance."

After saying that, Lucian bowed as well, with her right hand touching her chest and her left hand extended, in exactly the same posture as Natasha.

Natasha raised her eyebrows with a smile, then stood up straight, her right hand extended, and put it on Lucien's left hand.

There is no music, no melody, only the strong wind in the air and the clouds around, but Lucian and Natasha are both good at music, and the rhythm and beauty of the dance moves.

Although Lucien, who has been a little taller in recent years, still wants to be a little shorter than Natasha, it is almost similar, so when dancing, the two of them look at each other and breathe.

Seeing Natasha's deep, silvery purple eyes, her beautiful face, and her warm and sweet breath, her soft and delicate body, Lucian, who had a strange idea before, suddenly became strongly uncomfortable, unlike before The peace of mind and the sound of laughter and dancing when dancing with Natasha are very different, and the heartbeat seems to be uncontrollable.

Seeing Lucian gaze and dodge himself, his face looks slightly red, his feet are slightly stiff, the strength of his hands holding his right hand and his shoulders is a little stronger, and at the same time, he is very abnormally silent and does not speak, spraying on his lips The breath between the noses was heavy and burning, and Natasha began to feel that this atmosphere was too weird and inexplicable, and made her feel uncomfortable.

"Lucien, what's the matter with you?" Natasha asked bluntly, no need to hide her friends. "Are you worried about the dark mountains?"

Lucien shook her head a little awkwardly: "No, just dancing in midair for the first time, a little uncomfortable."

"Oh, me too, the wind is strong, the surroundings are empty, only the clouds." Natasha chuckled.

Lucian, who struggled to control herself, but still a little uncomfortable, and Natasha, who tried to help Lucian adapt, were a bit difficult but ended the dance smoothly.

"Lucian, happy birthday."

"Natasha, happy birthday."

At the end of the dance, the two said in unison, and then looked at each other and laughed.

…………

Lucian, who bid farewell to Natasha, frowned and flew to the dark mountains. After a while, she said to herself: "Don't get the illusion because you have not been in contact with women for a long time. How can I be surprised about Natasha? Thoughts, and she likes women ... "

…………

Natasha, who flew back to Aalto with Camille, thought about it, took out the pair of violet petal-like earrings and put them on her ears, then shook her head a little bit uncomfortably.

At the end of the shaking, Natasha noticed that Camille was seriously looking at her ear and asked suspiciously: "Aunt Camille, what's wrong? If you don't wear it on your ear, Lucian may be in danger when she is in danger. I ca n’t sense it the first time. "

"It's nothing. Your ears are beautiful. It's even more beautiful when you wear earrings." Camille replied lightly.
