Episode 66
âCrazyâ¦â¦â
As soon as the name âTigrisâ came out of the glaring lips reflected in the blue flame, I realized that I had made a huge mistake.
It was a crime of treason to bring out flames against the Crown Prince, not anyone else.
âIâve been occupied by the second prince, and now because itâs not enough, the first prince also?â
Iker Tigris, who was the first prince when I first met Cassius, received the crown princeâs rebuke two months ago.
He was so famous that I knew him, too, as he was almost certain to succeed the current emperor.
Even though he doesnât appear in the original story.
âWhy does it get worse as time goes by?â
I canât believe Iâm meeting the 1st Prince in such a bad way.
With my fists clenched, I shook and put out the flame, which had been burning with great force.
And said, with my head down as fast as I could.
âIâm pleased to see the Crown Prince.â
I tried hard to keep my head down, but my mind was so confused.
How should I deal with this situation?
It was different from when I attacked Cassius. When I first met him, I unintentionally hurt him with air magic, but Cassius liked me. So it was possible not to obtain contemptible charges, such as treason and the injury of the royal family.
Instead, I had to accept Cassius who came to my house every other day in return.
But no matter how hard I looked, this black man in front of me, far from favouring me, seemed to break my neck at any momentarily.
âWhatâs the use of doing that now? You tried to attack me.â
For more,
âThank you very much for taking good favour for me.â
Itâs a calm message. Humble and clear.
âBut Iâm very poor at learning to help you, and Iâm not even a wizard yet.â
Honestly, no matter how much I think about it, itâs crazy to say that Iâm going to just sit as the successor and as a wizard directly under the Crown Prince.
Iker himself couldnât have known that.
âYou also know how much my familyâs status has fallen while I was vacant there.â
âSo isnât this the right time to raise the status of the Spades at once?â
âEverything has its order.â
It was a serious story, with oneâs own sincerity.
No matter how much the Crown Prince talks, he couldnât have forced me to accept his propose.
âHa.â
I could hear Iker snorting.
Then he soon twisted his lips and froze in one of the words, which I could not tell whether he was talking to himself or me.
âI really like itâ¦â¦â¦.â
Somehow I got goosebumps and asked back on the spot.
âYes?â
It was just then.
The sound of someoneâs footsteps running like crazy.
I and the Crown Prince turned our heads in the direction of footsteps at the same time. And I saw.
A man who runs in a hurry with a face soaked in embarrassment.
âYerine!â
I opened my mouth to call his name, but Cassius was right in front of me before I knew it.
Then he breathed out a harsh breath, grabbed me by the wrist and hug my shoulders.
âCa, Cassius?â
âYerine, the professors are urgently looking for youâ¦â
But Cassius couldnât finish what he had said.
The strong hand wrapped in black gloves pressed his shoulder hard.
âWhere are you going in such a hurry?â
The mean lips moved in a line.
âCassius.â
