Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

Encountering the Mage

By the time I got back, I hadn't finished Reggie's meal yet.

That's right. There's no way a prince would pour a stew into his stomach by mouthing it on a plate.

At last, Mr. Mabel had not arrived either. You won't miss hearing the results with this.

Waiting, Mr. Mabel hurried over.

When I knocked, Mr. Mabel and I would go into the dining room because the supply that came out of the inside told me that the meal was over.

To the risen Reggie, Mr. Mabel reported.

"Unfortunately, we wanted you to refrain from accompanying us because it was too dangerous. However, he said that he was going to put the magician in the castle, and that it would be possible for His Highness to see him."

"Thank you Mabel. Then let me know when Uncle Borderline gets back."

"Yes, sir."

Reggie's gaze speaks to me when Mr. Mabel mourns. "Is this okay? '.

Of course, it would be less permissible for me to be single than Reggie. So, any way I can see you.

When I nodded, Reggie also gave me the nod back.

"I want to take Chiara with me then, too. It seems to have something to do with the research, so I'd like her to take a look at it."

"Is Chiara also..."

With regard to what I said with you, Mr. Mabel seems surprised, too.

But she tells me to accompany Reggie's request. Thanks to that, even if Mrs Beatrice was there at that time, Reggie was going to take me out because she was calling.

For now, the meeting was over, so Reggie headed to the courtyard with the knight who picked him up. He seems to be the prince of a time of many skirmishes and is indispensable for training swords and horseback riding.

I was waiting for Mrs. Beatrice to come home and thought I'd go check on the room.

So, Mr. Mabel accidentally snapped.

"Your Highness trusts you."

To a sighing voice, I corrected my posture with a cold sweat.

Ugh, I wonder what this is.

Not long after the prince met me, instead of every horsebone... I guess you don't feel good about being close to me.

What if they told me not to come any closer to Reggie?

I can't look into magic anymore, making it harder to find a way to save Reggie.

When it's finally over, I'll have to storm Princess Tsubaki, who seems to have some leads, ready to be fired.

Just one more thing, it reminds me of an environment where I can learn magic for sure, but I don't want to do that if I can.

I was about to get my head flat because of my worries, but

"I am truly delighted that there are more believers."

"Eh."

I inadvertently raise my doubts about Mr. Mabel's words.

Then Mr. Mabel looked troubled and laughed.

"I don't doubt you. Because Your Highness will not sidestep the dangerous either. You are also a child, so you just became friends as a child of the same age, His Highness, without thinking about any smugness. I am delighted that His Highness has never been in a position to hope for anything like that."

"Um, is that because you're a prince?

You think you have to get along only with the family kids who support you? Is that what it is?

"There's also that, but it's also because of the complicated birth. Anyway, Your Highness, for His Majesty's sake, I will adopt you. Your position is too complicated."

"Sure..."

Reggie was born as the son of the current king's brother. But because the king's brother died early in his reign as a prince, he became the son of a king who had not yet inherited him.

I don't think the game had such complicated circumstances.

If a character who hasn't been around since the beginning had such a setup, he wouldn't bother to talk about it during the story.

But the present king has no children yet.

It's the only trace, so I figured I wouldn't go under about Reggie even if the blood wasn't connected... so I remember Reggie's "unkind family".

"Neither will your family... you won't take care of it"

An unfriendly family wouldn't even think about Reggie and sort out who they can safely hang out with.

In one of my words, Mr. Mabel also seems to have realized that I am aware of some circumstances.

"Your Highness really has a lot to say to you."

From the shoulder of Mr. Mabel, who breathed heavily, it looked like he had lost his strength.

And all she told me was that maybe Mr. Mabel has always wanted to talk to someone like this.

"His Royal Highness Reginald was your brother's son. I was in need of Prince Wang at the time, so if my brother had stayed in power, His Highness Reginald would have had a higher sequence of inheritance rights than His Majesty. But I lost my father... Your mother then disappeared during her stay in a different hall, very far from the royal castle of sorrow, and one of His Highness was left behind."

Reggie was only five years old when she lost her real parents.

"But it was good to have your grandfather, the previous king. Your Highness has been adored and sheltered. But because asylum is so thick, there were rumours that his uncle, His Majesty's succession order, would be jeopardized now. For this reason, the previous king adopted His Highness Reginald as His Majesty's son... and because of this history, he was hostile to His Highness Reginald, who was still young."

Dude...... and I'm going to freak out.

I guess I was adopted because I didn't like the order of inheritance changing. Still treating your toddler like a bully with 'Scary Yikes'......

That's how Childhood Reggie said she was about to be forced into a state where no one could be involved if her predecessors didn't take her.

Everyone wants to get along with their predecessors, but they can't ignore their current kings either (because if their predecessors died, their profits would be gone and they could be at a disadvantage). After all the trouble, it was Sekiyama who only interacted where their predecessors were.

You had a hell of a childhood, I sympathized with Reginald.

"Eventually His Majesty was also married to the Queen, but it is a political marriage to avoid a battle against the kingdom of Luain, which could be a war of attrition. Of course the queen would not walk over here, and it was not a situation for her to admire her as a mother, as her Highness would be an inhibitor even if she became a child in the future."

Was that how Reggie continued to live a life where she was only associated with an unkind family?

That's a needle... Even the similarities felt the atmosphere, but they were really too blessed.

He just had some good things with his marriage to the queen.

Neither did His Majesty's current emperor make it good for the country to be taken over by Ruein.

So I thought if I put Ruein's blood in the heir, it would be a problem, and I didn't change Reggie from first in the inheritance order. And in an effort to strengthen the bond of the nobles, they began to advise them to interact with the prince, and it seemed that those who guarded the queen were on Reggie's side.

The last of them is the Evrard Border Uncle.

"This is Sister Wang. There is Master Beatrice who can be revealed, and Master Beatrice is more pitiful than before. If you care about Master Reginald. Fortunately, Alan and I are close, so we stay here from time to time."

Nevertheless, I can't interact casually on my body as a prince. Neither Reggie, who is aware of it, seemed too deeply involved with anything other than Alan, who is also a close relative.

"Perhaps it was also desirable for you to be in a state where you had cut off all of your marks in relation to yourself. … we want you to be on your side as long as you can."

That's what Mr. Mabel said and finished the conversation.

From her voice, I felt that it must be such a truthful feeling.

Now I have someone on my side. That's how the political situation moved. But they are all people who, if things change, will leave whether they like it or not.

... There's no way you can trust me, is there?

In my last life, that didn't happen much.

Sometimes it was somewhat obscure because I didn't like being stared at by the main group or because I could hubble if I didn't keep in tune with those people.

But that didn't even affect my home environment first.

Home is home, school is school.

Oh, if it affects even the home environment. If your boss hated you or your parents in the life of your parents poking each other in the face with someone from the same company at your company's house, then so be it.

I wonder if Reggie's situation is close to that.

Anyway, it's painful that there's no escape route anywhere. So I guess Mr. Mabel was comfortable with my presence out of bounds.

Did Reggie also pity me and help me because I'm an irregular? Even so, I wish I could give him back about that.

"Reggie's a friend, so I'll help you if anything happens. Because it's like a benefactor of life."

Yes, two years from now, for example.

Even if I could not prevent a decisive moment from coming, I would look for the means.

Well, the source I wanted to get to protect Reggie and the others arrived at the castle about an hour later. It was around the time Mrs. Beatrice returned from the patrol, finished eating and dressing and began to relax.

Mrs. Beatrice seems a little surprised, too, as Mr. Mabel himself picked me up.

"Reginald was interested in magicians?

My nephew, now you got your hands on Pramo? Mr. Mabel had an ambiguous grin on Mrs. Beatrice, who asked in such a manner.

"Because she was interested in seeing Princess Tsu first. I've been working with Chiara on literature in the library from time to time."

"So let's just whisper, does Chiara mean a research assistant? Good, I'll lend Reginald Chiara for that matter. I think I'll go check it out."

Together with Mrs. Beatrice, who gave me pleasure, I was to travel to the castle gate.

In case something should not happen, Mrs. Beatrice chooses to look down from the top of the front hall stairs. Reggie was made to promise to do the same, so only me, who was free, then went downstairs.

Beware of the sorcerer, guards were gathered in front of the stairs and in front of the door.

Standing right next to it, for some reason, I was a little giddy. I'm sure you didn't think a samurai, a man who works, would come all the way to see a dangerous opponent nearby.

Reggie also pointed me at the gaze of 'I don't really want to recommend it', but if I miss the key to something I want to know, that's what I regret.

I really want to find out. How to be a magician.

Waiting now or not, the main door that leads out was opened.

Two knights emerged from beyond the heavy black oak door, Mr. Wentworth and the others.

Then there are two soldiers who support a man like a drunk in a faded cloak from both sides. And finally, Uncle Vain and the rest of the knights.

I think maybe this drunk, sleeping guy on the side of the road is a sorcerer scumbag.

Honestly, I don't really feel like a magician.

Hair like it was stretched as it was after a short pruning is a universal thing that you would find several similar people if you walked in the countryside. Clothes are also worn wearing coke tea jackets and trousers that are tired on top of the generated shirts and are no different from the people who live in town.

But I'm terribly concerned about something.

Watching it all the time, it's kind of painful around my chest. I feel like my pulse is getting faster and faster.

It's only slightly similar when you catch a cold and feel sick. I have chills. Only my head seemed to get cold.

I'm supposed to be the same mage, but I didn't feel that for Princess Tsu.

I wonder why. I endured so much disgust that I was about to sit on the spot without understanding why.
