Why should I be nice to Arte?

That's what Arte asked.

But.

"Though I'm not always meant to be nice to Arte."

"I don't think so..."

"I guess. Well, assuming that's the case, remember when you were banished, because you can't leave Arte alone."

"Even though I'm the cause of the exile?

"Maybe that's why. I was shocked when they banished the Knights, but now I'm glad I was able to tutor Master Filia. There was a mansion, and they found a place."

"I wanted power too... because I wanted a place"

"It is."

"In an area where my parents' Marquis lives, dark hair and dark eyes are a sign of bad luck. Besides, the twins were also considered to be cursed and abominable."

Arte is a rare brunette brunette in the Empire, and was born with Flora and twins.

So even the Marquis was neglected, he said.

It's just that the Artes had a magical talent.

So he enrolled in the Imperial School of Magic, and was entertained as a genius, while being unfamiliar and conflicted with his surroundings.

Even in magic school I was involved with Arte, so I know exactly what Arte was like back then.

The brilliant Arte was looking down on the students around them, and they had strong objections to Arte as well.

I don't think Arte had a choice but other students looked stupid, but there was just one, a student who was clearly better than Arte.

That's the later Virgin Sophia.

"When I first saw Lady Sophia, the Virgin, I thought Lady Sophia was destined. If I can get power like that, I can get to a better place. That's what I thought. But..."

Arte's plan to use the power of the Demon King to gain power failed.

On the contrary, I have become completely incapable of using magic and devoid of any power.

"Seniors could have been okay with expelling the Knights. But I'm powerless... what do I do now?

"That depends on Arte. Anyway, I'll just try to get my body back on track."

I want to do something about Arte's situation now that he's blind and can't move his hands and feet enough.

The same goes for Flora, who doesn't wake up.

Although it will be difficult to be able to use magic again.

"The seniors... were beside the Virgin, even without power, even in exile, weren't they? Yeah, the Virgin herself tried to be by her senior. If so, so am I... even if I lose my power..."

Arte nagged and snapped small.
