A small palace on a hill.
A pure white palace that is smaller than Chermil Palace but more beautiful. This was the villa of the deceased Queen Deanna. It is now owned by Louise, but in the past it was probably passed down to the king. A place where you can see the sea reflecting the moonlight in the distance, and under your feet, pure white flowers commemorating someone are in full bloom.
Chase, who found the memory around this season last year, may have made it, or Louise, who said she found the memory not that long ago, may have made it. Calian, who stayed for a while in his room, which he had never set foot in before, was not very curious about who decorated the room. I just rested comfortably.
Planz, who had been looking at Calian, who woke up briefly, laughed for a moment, talked a little, and then fell asleep again, turned his head and stood outside the window.
There is a blue star in the distant sky. And one red star. Beneath the sky, where countless stars are blooming like white flowers, a silent blue light rises as a star.
I saw red flames rising into the sky and blue flames flowing beyond the sea, but I never thought I would see white flowers rising as stars. Another thing I saw for the first time. And that too in the desolate room where the king was said to have stayed.
âAnyway, itâs fun.â
Is it fun?
On the one hand, the rest Arsene gave him was glad, but the guy who had been constantly watching over Chase was now able to breathe thanks to Arsene, and was resting in a place prepared by Chase. It was Plantz himself who provided the reason why the king could never come here and the reason he came back here as a completely different person, so wouldnât it be more correct to call the situation more comical than fun? If not, is this also Serentiâs prank?
Thanks to this, I couldnât fall asleep in the end.
Rather than blaming myself for doing something I told myself not to do, I was just immersed in various memories and had a lot to think about, so I just stood there holding the handle of the Sinasta and looked out the window motionlessly.
Until the white flowers no longer turn into stars and fly away, the moon that illuminated the distant sea hides itself beyond the sky, and the star that shined until the end falls asleep in the light and is no longer visible, until the sun rises and the sun rises in the distance, blinding the eyes. until.
âYou continued to walk with the prince, but have you now taken the path of the sword?â
Because staying up all night was a routine from the beginning, the blue-haired crazy wizard who was the only one in good condition came into the room asking for a quick breakfast and said this. Itâs a question of what you believed in and what you spent the night with.
I couldnât sleep because I was so distraught, it wasnât because I was acting up all night.
As my birthday approaches, I have experienced so many unpleasant things, and I am full of frustration because I canât sleep and my body hurts. Therefore, Plantz lifted up one side of his lip and responded.
âMy brother would be very upset if he knew that my stepfather was worried.â
There is no one better than Hina to fix Kalianâs mental state when he has lost his temper, and there is no one better than Kalian to silence Arsene. Whatever the reason, he made Alan aware of the situation here, so he silenced his loud mouth by threatening to reveal it.
Arsene, who had a lot on his face that he wanted to say, said again without hiding his expression, âBut Iâm an adult, so Iâll endure it.â
âOkay, please eat.â
âI have no idea.â
âIf you donât keep doing that, youâll have to look up at me forever. Are you okay?â
Chase is taller than you.
I donât know why someoneâs words came to mind.
Planz turned around with an annoyed face, but the pain in the injured area also increased, and with a frown even bigger, Plantz walked over and sat down on the sofa. It really means no thought. Because I wanted to give up pretending to eat to grow taller.
When Arsene saw that, he opened his mouth again to say something.
â Ugh!
Plantzâs bracelet began to glow.
My face hardened as I looked at it, but Arsene suddenly searched through my arms and pulled out a crystal tablet from his pocket. Plantzâs eyes automatically turned to Calian. The same light as Plantzâs was shining on the bracelet on Calianâs wrist.
â All of Secretiaâs soldiers who went to Bridget Forest died. Prince Planz.
Chaseâs call to Plantz.
â I received a message that a wizard from Riverne has disappeared.
And it was a call from Alan, who was urgently looking for Calian and Arsene.
As they were both wondering how to react to that, something more happened that even the smart Planz couldnât expect.
âItâs nice to see you again in a place like this after a day. Are you hurt a lot?â
Plantz was quiet as he faced the situation where the person who was my younger brotherâs old friend and the fiancée of my younger brotherâs former brother, and whom I donât remember and neither does he, but whom we had a deep relationship with, barged in without knocking and asked how I was doing. He slowly closed his eyes and opened them.
Then, without saying a word, he stood up again and walked with his aching body to the bed where Calian was sleeping.
We needed him more desperately than ever.
* * *
There was no problem.
Instead of Arsene, who catches people by looking at the situation, Euria catches people first without looking at the situation, but no matter what, she sticks to common sense. If Euria had been thoughtless enough to arbitrarily kill other soldiers sent from other countries and lands, she would not have been able to reach her current position.
It was no different for Rachel. At least Rachel was one of those wizards who caught people not only by common sense but also by looking at the situation. Not only was he not skilled in magic for attack to begin with, but he was someone who knew very well how great a loss someoneâs death would be to someone else.
âHe asked me to stop Secretiaâs soldiers if they attack Bridget Forest. He said no one should be killed.â
So there was really no problem with the two wizards keeping Calianâs words.
â Pajik Pajijik!
Brigitteâs Forest late at night, not long before Plants went to wake Calian without even a second thought.
âWhat are you doing here at this time of night?â
Euria, who had a lightning bolt on one hand, looked at her feet and asked a question. It was aimed at one of the knights who seemed to be the strongest among those who surrounded the forest, holding torches one by one.
Isnât it easy to pretend that you donât know the intentions of the soldiers surrounding the forest with flaming torches, even though magic lanterns are so efficient and convenient to use, easy for anyone to obtain, and even inexpensive? Still, Euria first asked about the purpose of the visit. Even though he was holding a purple sphere emitting deadly sparks in one hand, this could be said to be a great show of consideration for a wizard who just attacks first without saying anything.
On the branches of a tall tree.
Although there was no place for support, the soldiers who were slowly approaching stopped at the sight of Euria standing on a branch in an attitude that did not feel the slightest danger and vigorously arguing. And soon the word âstop for nowâ spread through the mouths of the soldiers on both sides.
The corners of Euriaâs mouth went up when she saw that the soldiers who were advancing in a place where they could not see her had all stopped.
âWho are you?â
Since he was standing with his back to the bright moon, he couldnât tell who the magician was, only his silhouette was visible, so the knight leading the soldiers frowned and asked. Euria, who understood well that she could show herself and reveal her identity, but could not say her name first, answered in a light voice.
âCoco Dad.â
How could it be that my precious child, whom I had conceived with all my heart for a month, had as his mother a blue-haired wizard with a poor drinking capacity but a taste for flowers? I have no choice but to take over the remaining position of my father.
âPlease reveal your true identity. Your attitude is quite rude.â
âUh, Iâm sorry. Itâs been a long time since I lost my manners, so I donât have the courtesy to show them to the suspicious guys who came to the elf forest with torches. And I asked the question first. What did you come for?â
Instead of answering, the knight looked at Euria. As the silence became longer, Euria, who was looking around, let out a relaxed voice.
âWell, itâs not a question. Winter is coming, the trees are dry and a lot of leaves have fallen, so I think I can ride in a forest pretty well. Right.â
Long purple hair illuminated by the moonlight. female wizard. And the lightning in his hand. The knight, who combined various situations and things shown, asked in a low tone.
âIs it Euria Siren?â
âOh, thatâs right. Thatâs right, so quickly turn off the torch and go.â
ââ¦Why are Prince Kairisâs party interfering with the affairs of another country?â
âI didnât know, but this is Queen Kyrisâs hometown. So, our third prince is planning to come here soon, and it would be a pity if everything was lost in a fire.â
This is the Euryan Siren, who is said to haunt the ghosts of the dead even in the middle of the day.
The only people here right now are a few knights and soldiers. Even if there were only knights instead of soldiers, it wouldnât be easy. Therefore, the driver kept his mouth shut and pondered for a moment whether he should step aside or continue talking like this.
âDonât worry, just go.â
Regardless of whether the knight was showing some courtesy or not, once he came here with a torch, it was difficult to deal with him with kind words. The moment that fire catches on the tree, not only will Freyaâs hometown burn, but diplomatic issues between Kyris and Secretia surrounding the elf residential area will arise.
Even though I waited for a while, the driver did not answer right away. The magic power of water gathered in Euriaâs hands as she looked at it.
â Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh huhâ¦
A pulsing energy gathered in an instant and moved the water that was flowing deep beneath the forest floor. The knight, who momentarily felt as if the floor was shaking, turned his head and spoke to the soldiers.
âItâs water. Everyone move near the tree and prepare.â
There was a sound of the soldiers moving in unison after hearing the knightâs words.
It was a wise command and a quick move.
It was the best response in order to not be swept away even if water rose from the ground and to be able to take refuge behind a tree even if there was an electric attack in front of you.
This would have been the case if Euriaâs magic, which was intended to extinguish the torch, had proceeded as planned.
ââ¦â¦ shit.â
Euria, who suddenly sensed the energy of mana nearby, let out a short curse and dissipated the water power she was using. And the magic power for new power was raised to the maximum. The mana flowing around me fluctuated due to the sudden change in the flow of power, but I didnât pay much attention to it. There was no time to care.
The knights and soldiers did not notice that Euriaâs gaze was moving away from them and that the ground under their feet was no longer shaking.
âEveryone gather together. If you want to live.â
Euriaâs hand moved as she spoke a little loudly towards the knight.
A purple spark that I thought would never be used began to shine in the distant sky, and clouds gathered.
â Rumblingâ¦.
An anxious sound continued among the clouds that obscured the moonlight.
The knight, who could not hear Euriaâs voice, ordered the soldiers standing nearby to fall from the tree and disperse among themselves.
â Damn it! Damn it!
The sound of the sky splitting is heard.
The soldier who received the knightâs orders took a step forward to convey the message to another soldier standing nearby.
â Kwaaaaang!
At that moment, a loud noise erupted and the water in the ground rose up as if it were exploding.
The whirlwind of water pierced the body of the soldier who was just trying to run, and began to sweep around like a snake with its tail cut off, devouring nearby soldiers.
It wasnât Euriaâs power.
Euria, who unintentionally protected herself from the first attack because she was on top of the hardest and tallest tree, quickly moved her other hand. Regardless of the huge magic being prepared, the magic power was raised once again to move the water in the ground.
â Rurrrrrâ¦â¦.
The ground shakes and the sky rumbles.
Another stream of water, caught by Euriaâs magic, pushed up the ground, and dry lightning, something you would never see on a clear day like this, lit up the sky and then disappeared again and again.
â Quagwang!
Soon the water broke through the thick ground and soon split into two large streams that spread out on both sides. After that, because the soldiers in the center had already been annihilated, a wide curtain of water spread out, blocking the front of the soldiers on both sides.
There was no time to worry about Rachelâs safety as she went to the back of the forest. Those who are significantly weaker than Rachel need to be taken care of first.
âTsk.â
I didnât come to save him, but to send him back without killing him. I had no idea that I would have to save Secretiaâs soldiers from an attack by an unknown person.
â Easy profit!
â Quaaaang!
The huge water serpent rushed forward and pushed down Euriaâs curtain. A large column of water lying on its side split into two and three branches and struck the tent from all directions.
â Quaaaang! Quang!
A roaring sound that was difficult to imagine as the force of water colliding with each other continued to ring out.
Euria quickly turned her head as she increased the strength of the veil in the direction the opponentâs water column was facing. I was ready to strike down lightning, but I didnât see the hiding guy. If I hurriedly spread a lightning bolt across the water, it would kill all the soldiers I managed to save, so I had to check my opponentâs location first.
Therefore, Euria prepared the strongest magic she could produce with one side of her magic power, protected the soldiers with the other side of her magic power, and spread out the remaining threads of magic power to look for traces of another wizard nearby.
â Kugwagwagwang! Quaaaang!
The long water columns on both sides stretch like the movements of a poisonous snake, then increase in length and soar above the curtain. At the same time, Euriaâs hand moved quickly and moved the water once again. An extended curtain covered the soldiersâ heads.
But at that moment, a sharp bursting sound came out as if it would split my ears.
â Blah blah blah!
This is not the sound of Euriaâs lightning, where all you have to do is find your opponent and strike him down.
The sound of something rapidly freezing. The sound of the water column that just hit Euriaâs curtain freezing in an instant.
The end of the water column that sticks out extends like a long spear and changes into dozens of ice spears. And without hesitation, it poured down through the curtain of water.
-Ssam!
â Scum! Slut!
The sound of screaming invades my ears.
Euria bit her lip.
Ice magic.
There is no water attribute wizard who can use the power of water to this extent to create an ice spear.
âThere is more than one opponent. Or someone like me.â
A wizard with the same dual attributes as Euria.
Was there such a person? Euria frowned and used her magical powers once again.
â Kwaduk! Quad deuk!
Euriaâs gaze, which had turned the water curtain into a whirlwind and shattered the pouring ice spears, instantly turned towards one place.
I felt the energy of water extending from a certain point.
â Kugugoongâ¦!
-Quarring! Kwazijic!
found.
â Ugh!
Euria, who removed the water curtain, created a huge shield to block the significantly reduced number of soldiers.
In a situation where the wizard of Kairis and the soldiers of Secretia are in a standoff, what other plan could the guy who catches and kills the soldiers have? It was as clear as the intentions of the torch-bearing Secretia.
A wizardâs power is on a different level from that of an ordinary person.
To a wizard, a soldier is no different from an ordinary person. Wizards are absolutely strong, and soldiers are relatively weak compared to wizards. A wizard who tears down the weak for no reason is a bad person.
In addition, the vicious bastard who clearly came with the intention of sending a disgusting gift to Kairis
â Kuaaaang! Boom! Quaaaang!
There is no need to keep him alive depending on the situation.
