I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With

77 – The Golden Mage and the Winter King – (4)

There was a lot of commotion, but the welcome ceremony was held without any problems.

Centered around Seira, who came as the proxy of the Golden Duke Liantur, some of her aides went through the process of entering the palace with documents.

Within an hour, a large number of people, including Seira, her attendants, and escorts, entered the imperial palace. Since the number was too large to stay in the VIP room inside the imperial palace, accommodation facilities were improvised in the garden of the outer castle, just like Harzfeld.

However, unlike the time of Harzfeld, it did not take that long to build the camp.

Whoops.

sigh!

The materials were procured, and Seira only had to wave her hand several times, but the sight of three tall buildings being built reminded me of the creation of the world.

is that magic?

“It’s omnipotent.”

Trying to peek at the overwhelming state, I realize that Rowan was definitely a quack.

“That’s amazing. Archmage as expected. The dimension itself is different from ours.”

Lautrec couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Well, spiritism is also one of the many schools of magic. It was natural for Lautrec, a guardian knight and elementalist, to be so moved. It must be the feeling of seeing a distant president.

I stood next to him and asked.

“I heard that there are currently three archmages on the continent. Is that great?”

“Yes. That’s great. Only a wizard who has accomplished the greatest feat in history can wear that title. Every ten years in the Imperial Mage Tower, candidates are culled and elected.”

Lautrek looked at the huge golden mana on the tip of Seira’s fingertips and continued.

“Of course, Seira-sama broke that precedent and became an Archmage with the unanimous consent of the tower masters before she even became an adult.

“Huh.”

“It is the first time in history that there are three Archmages at the same time, and two of them are all from the Duke of Liantur.”

Is it also a magic name?

Come to think of it, I heard that Asaren’s magical talent is inherited along the line. There was a reason why Millia was so well versed in magic.

I was born with a diamond spoon, not a gold spoon, very.

Someone whose father is a psychopath obsessed with summoning demons.

“By the way Lautrec.”

“What’s going on?”

“I heard that you taught the empress about spiritism.”

“…Yes. This is what His Majesty requested.”

Lautrec scratched his cheek.

Come to think of it, isn’t it because of this child who taught me spiritism that the situation reached such an extreme? I was kind of mean, so I hardened my expression.

“You’re talented. I was surprised to see him communicate with Sylphy right away. He’s also a descendant of Balug, the founder of the country.”

well, of course Among the various builds of Raising Empress, the most like soup-like training method was to raise intelligence and grow into an elementalist.

“So, I heard that you bumped into an apostle. What the hell happened that day? I asked His Majesty, but she didn’t tell me.”

Lautrec paused for a moment, then looked at me.

“……According to Sir Eurillard, your sister has become that… devil…”

“Oh, it’s true. Whether it’s assimilated or possessed, I became a demon.”

“Umm. I see. So Yuria…”

Lautrec nodded in agreement.

The guy muttered and included YuRia’s name, but I wasn’t too surprised. Because he knew that Lautrec went to see Yuria almost every day for interrogation purposes.

However, he has already signed a contract with Yuria. She’s not going to make fun of me. you can rest assured

“Ah! Guardian Knights!”

While we were having such a conversation, Seira, who had finished the construction, approached with a short space transfer.

Lautrec bowed.

“Meet the Archmage.”

“Oh, Lautrec is true too.”

Patting him on the back, Seira smiled helplessly.

The two looked like childhood friends who had been reunited after a long time.

“Do you know me?”

“Well, it’s not that I don’t have a relationship with the Pendrin family. I’ve met several times since I was little. Back then, Lautrec was cute too.”

“……Sigh.”

“Do I look younger now? I used too much anti-aging magic.”

Saira said as she hugged Lautrec by the neck. Was it a childhood friend? If so, I was just glad.

“……Please stop.”

“Ah~ Why? You said you liked it so much before?”

The target he embraced had a dark expression.

Well, because Lautrec has a very naive personality. I can’t help but be completely attracted to Seira.

Seira continued talking while almost clinging to Lautrec, who eventually gave up on shaking it off.

“When Lautrec was young, the family treated him completely specially.

Seira stuck out her tongue.

“They’re idiots. They’re not mad, they’re chosen by the spirit realm. It’s kind of annoying to say that. I can’t even see spirits.”

Then he tapped Lautrec on the shoulder. Sylphy, who was there, smiled and pointed at Seira.

Could it be that his affinity with the spirits is so low that he can’t even see it? No matter how overwhelmingly skilled the archmage was, it seemed like there was no way to solve the spirit affinity.

Giving up on touching Sylphy, Seira lowered her head.

“So, Fried-kun. Where is the empress? First of all, since I came as a substitute for my father, wouldn’t it be right to say hello with respect? Isn’t that right, Arlet?”

Seira shrugged her shoulders as she saw Arlet, the attendant behind her, nodding her head vigorously.

“So, I’ll ask Fried-kun. Above all, since he’s a national protectorate, can you guide me? My father said he brought a lot of tribute with infinite loyalty.”

As I waved my hand, several huge boxes, neatly stacked among the materials, floated slowly into the air. These were expensive items.

“hahahaha…….”

I smiled awkwardly.

Then, I saw Lyncia’s office, which was nestled high in the castle.

Lyncia Ayrn.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Do you want to let me into the room?

*

“Beep.”

Sunlight streamed in softly through the curtained windows.

Sitting on the bed, Lyncia petted the owl fluttering in front of her eyes. The little owl with a blue feather on its forehead groaned and rubbed its face at the touch of her gentle touch.

Its appearance was more suited to a cat than an owl.

“Wig is cute as well.”

Lyncia smiled lightly and stroked the spirit, Wig.

Wig was the first elemental she had contracted with since Lautrec had taught her elementalism. Although the rank was not that high, he was able to perform the main mission of surveillance and reconnaissance better than any other spirit, as he resembles an owl.

Most of all, because he was aegyo and cute.

Lynchia repeatedly grabbed and released the blue feather before rubbing Wig’s wing. Wig lay down on the balladang, exposing his white belly.

It was now more like a puppy.

“hahahaha.”

He rubs his stomach with a dry laugh.

However, Lincia soon stopped her hands and put on a gloomy expression.

Seeing the contractor’s displeasure, Wig widened his eyes and shook his head.

“……It’s nothing. It’s just that I’ve been thinking a lot lately.”

Lyncia tapped her complicated chest. I haven’t been able to sleep well lately, so my head is pounding.

When I closed my eyes, the scene I saw through Wig’s eyes that day was vivid.

An apostle appeared before the suffering Fried and explained the oath.

For the sake of his younger sister who became a demon, Fried made a contract with the foreign press to kill himself.

And he didn’t try to deny this fact.

“……Ugh.”

That means that Fried is closer to the Church than to the Empire.

Guardian Knight Fried Iscoval. It was said that he approached to kill himself, the last bloodline of Iren as a foreign seed.

If that’s true, Fried was a traitor. Like Rowan, a traitor who intruded into the imperial family.

However.

Lyncia couldn’t bear to hold him accountable.

What will become of Fried’s actions, which have saved his life several times and given him courage? Are you saying it was all fake? Was it a lie?

I still couldn’t forget his calm moonlight eyes. The touch of the oath remained clearly on his lips.

Before he knew it, Fried had become a lifesaver and a driving force for Lyncia.

“……What should I do?”

Even if I tried to ignore it, I couldn’t. Even when she closed her eyes or tried to fall asleep, that memory was still haunting her.

From a certain point on, whenever he encountered Fried, he started to hide. For some reason, the scene of him drawing his sword and stabbing himself with a sad face appeared in his dreams every night.

Like this, Lyncia felt both fear and sorrow for Freed.

She herself could not explain this change of heart.

If the feeling of ‘love’ that Lucy spoke of is really like this.

“……I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to know.”

Lyncia buried her head.

“If I knew this would happen, it would have been better for me not to know. It would have been better for me not to learn spirit magic.”

After complaining like that, Wig jabbed.

“Ah, I’m sorry I misunderstood you. I’m not saying I don’t like Wiggum. It’s just… it’s just…”

Lyncia stopped talking and kept her mouth shut.

Covering her face, Lyncia sobbed quietly.

After a while, the words she uttered were soaked in sorrow.

“I don’t know. I’m afraid of everything.”

smart.

As soon as he finished speaking, a knock rang out.

When the door opened, there was Lucy with a worried expression on her face.

Although Lucy was rude, she was quick to notice. As soon as he realized that Lincia was not feeling well, he canceled all the schedules in front of her. Thanks to this, he did not have to attend the welcoming ceremony of Archduke Liantur. It was a thankful thing for Lyncia, who didn’t want to run into Fried.

“What’s up, Lucy?”

“Hey, that’s…”

Lucy turned around slightly and explained the situation.

Upon hearing the story, Lincia’s eyebrows twitched.

“Your daughter, instead of Archduke Liantur, visited you as a proxy?”

“Yes. As long as I came as the representative of Archduke Liantur, he said he would inform the situation. What should I do? Shall I send him back?”

“No. I don’t think so. Let me know you’ll be there soon.”

Lynchia hurriedly straightened her tousled hair.

I canceled the schedule, but I can’t refuse a guest who wants to meet me. Isn’t that even one of the five Grand Dukes of the Empire? Lynchia had no choice.

“Oh, and there’s one more thing you should know.”

“Uh, huh? What is it?”

Lucy pondered for a moment before speaking up.

It was a word she came up with after much thought. It was because there was a fact that Lucy could clearly see when she saw Lyncia’s progress.

“Hoguk-gyeong joins in, are you okay?”

“…”

“I think you’ve been feeling a bit burdened lately… I’m sorry if I’ve interfered too presumptuously.”

Lyncia shook her head in front of Lucy, who lowered her head.

She tried to put on a determined expression and said.

“Ah, no. It’s okay. He’s the keeper of the border I appointed. It’s only natural that he attends an event like this.”

Saying that, he stood up from his seat.

She was wearing a black formal dress and her long platinum hair was tied tightly with a hair tie.

However, Lucy, who was watching it, did not miss the fact that Lyncia’s hand holding the mirror was shaking.

‘Are you all right?’

Lucy let out a sigh of relief from the growing anxiety.
