Chapter 151 – How about a cup of warm tea? (7)

TL: Zimming

"Are you taking sides because you're a demon like him?

He called me a demon without even noticing.

He didn't seem to have any intention of hiding the fact that he spread the rumor.

"Priest, if you really think I'm a demon, file a trial. Ah, of course, you know what the punishment is when you accuse an innocent person as a demon?"

"……"

He kept his mouth shut. He would also know well that I am not a demon.

They spread rumors to create a favorable situation for themselves, but they don't want to start a trial.

"…are you threatening me?"

"Isn't it you who questioned me for being a demon? I don't know why you feel threatened."

"Don't change the subject! They got tancinol. We need to get rid of them right away."

"No. I'll say it again, that's not a tancinol."

When they're caught with tancinol, they'll vomit blood, their skin turns black, and eventually their bones will be damaged.

Blood has flowed from the captain's gums, and his appearance has changed because his teeth have fallen out. His skin also looked black because of bruises.

At first glance, it was similar to tancinol, but it was a completely different disease.

"Then what is it!"

Howard screamed. He pretended to be confident, but he actually felt anxious.

They probably didn't even check them properly.

It's similar to tancinol, so they used it to create a false public opinion for their interest.

There must have been no concern for the lives of more than dozens of sailors.

So he's nervous because he might be wrong.

"It's a scurvy."

"Scurvy?"

At the moment, the tension on Howard's face disappeared.

"I've never heard of it before. Did you just make that up?"

"No, I saw it in a book."

I saw it in a book from Korea, not in this world.

Scurvy was a disease that plagued european sailors during the age of discovery.

If they get this disease, they will get anemia, bruise easily, bleeding gums and tooth loss. Hematuria is also a symptom of scurvy.

Furthermore, pale skin, queasy eyes were also evidence of scurvy.

This was the same as the symptoms of Captain Barley now. The other crew members will have the same disease.

"What book is it?"

"You won't know it."

"Are you underestimating me?"

Howard was furious. But I smiled nonchalantly.

"Oh, don't misunderstand me."

"Misunderstand?"

"I'm a polyglot. I could read all the books in the world."

When I revealed that, the surroundings were noisy again.

Howard also looked surprised, but he quickly hid his expression.

"I've never heard of it before. I'm sure you make that up too."

Blake was getting more and more impatient.

He was ready to point his sword at Howard any moment. But I held his hand tightly.

There was no reason for him to get his hands dirty. I'm telling them the truth, and clumsy lies are bound to be discovered.

"If I treat them, will that prove everything?"

"There is no cure for tancinol. They can't get better if they get caught. No one has been able to cure it for a thousand years. You don't even know that?"

"I know. But the crew didn't get tancinol."

"Are you trying to use your demonic powers?"

Even if I succeed in treatment, did he mean that I will be driven out with the power of the demon? He's playing dirty tricks.

"No, I won't use magic or mana stone."

"Then how do you fix it?"

"Strawberry."

If the symptoms of scurvy worsen, it can eventually lead to death.

In fact, countless people lost their lives due to this disease.

However, the treatment was simple compared to other severe symptoms. We don't even need medicine.

All they have to do is take vitamin C.

Scurvy is a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C.

The sailors did not get enough food with vitamin C during their long voyage at sea. That's why they're sick.

Especially, men in Asteric do not eat fruit very well.

This is because there is a myth that eating fruit weakens one's energy, and that meat is the only good food for men.

Even so, they usually eat a little of it with other dishes, but it wasn't the case on the boat.

Foods prepared for the voyage were mainly dried meat, bread, and cheese. The fruit was completely missing.

The original story tells the story of people from the Chang coming over to the Asteric. However, no one complained about scurvy even though they came across the vast ocean like them.

Chang has developed a food culture centered on fruits and vegetables rather than meat.

When they left the voyage, they would have prepared food mainly with fruits and vegetables, so scurvy did not occur.

"Strawberry? Are you kidding me?"

"Then do you have lime or lemon?"

"What? Why are you saying that? What are you doing? Are you going to put some demonic power in the fruit?"

Maybe he thought I was making up a lie, so Howard completely relaxed and poured out harsh words.

"What would you do if I really treated their illness? Can you take responsibility for the remarks?"

"Of course."

"Can you step down from being a priest?"

"Th, that…"

"Why? Are you not confident? Then how dare you insult me and the imperial family with something that's not clear?"

When I said so, the onlookers agreed with me and said,

"What, were you lying?"

"Wasn't that tancinol?"

"Your Highness is a polyglot. She knows everything."

"So they're all a lie?"

"The curse of the goddess was lifted by her. She did what the church couldn't do in a thousand years, and of course she knows better."

They were really easily swept away. In any case, as the criticism poured out against them, Howard said urgently.

"Okay, I'll do it. Instead, if it's really tancinol, you'll have to take responsibility for it."

"What do you want?"

"You'll apply for a trial yourself."

If I am found innocent after filing for a trial, the reporter must give up their life.

However, if I apply for a trial on my own, I will be fully responsible for the results.

As soon as the trial begins, Howard will mobilize all his power to make me into a real demon.

He was a really mean person.

He wants me to risk my life, and he will only come down from his position?

"Alright."

But I said yes.

"Ancia!"

"Your Highness!"

Blake and the knights shouted in astonishment.

It was a disadvantageous condition for me, so it was natural to worry. But I was confident.

Scurvy will surely be cured. And…

"You have to be punished for your sins after you leave your position."

"Let's talk again after you cure the tancinol."

"It's a scurvy."

I smiled and asked him for a handshake. Howard raised his head arrogantly and shook my hand.

"Remember this clearly."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm Ancia Raelle Geracillion. The only Crown Princess of the Asteric Empire."

I let the mana of light flow to him and said that.

No matter how much he has risen with the power of his family, he is still a priest.

He knows that this is the mana of light.

I have the power of a goddess just like Blake.

"Yo, you…!"

Howard's face turned pale as if he had understood my intention.

I gave a relaxed smile to Howard.

"Are you sure they're all better?"

Howard was shocked to hear Gail's report.

"Yes, it's true."

"Isn't the Crown Princess using tricks?!"

"No, I just checked, just in case, they were all ordinary fruits. It must have really been a disease called scurvy."

Ancia was right. As she said, they only ate fruits, but the sailors were getting better.

Is she really a polyglot?

"In addition, today, the imperial palace announced that the Crown Princess was indeed a polyglot and had the power of light."

"What?"

So he's not mistaken about the mana he felt then? Is it true that she's got a power of light?

The Crown Princess was able to lift the prince's curse, have the power of light, and even have language skills.

They could only think of her as a woman who was really chosen by a goddess.

'Darn it, why did they only tell us now?'

If the imperial family had revealed this fact first, they could have made up rumors accordingly.

Her power of light was a fake, and it could have been said that her language ability was also obtained through a contract with demons. But it's already too late.

The rumor that Howard made has already spread. They're not gonna believe them if he fixes the rumours now.

"What do we do now?"

He said about the curse of the goddess, insisting on the wrong disease as a tancinol, and drove the Crown Princess, who was chosen by the goddess, into a trial.

It was his fatal mistake.

He also promised to resign his post when the sailors got better.

But before that, he'll be kicked out.

In addition, many believers betrayed Howard and revealed all the bribery and corruption he had committed.

If that was true, the Kensway family as well as Howard were doomed.

Yet in the midst of an absolute crisis, Howard quickly regained his composure.

"Don't worry. There's still a way."

The Kensway family has not only been on a roll for a thousand years without any challenges.

Many people feel threatened by their growing power, even the emperor once targeted their family.

However, despite the crisis, the Kensway family remained firmly in power. It was thanks to the treasure.

'Phillip's gift.'

It is time for them to use the treasure.

152 – How about a cup of warm tea? (8)

TL: Zimming

Howard looked down at the window. He woke up after confirming that Gail's carriage had left the mansion.

When Howard was in crisis, people began to betray him.

In the Kensway family's elders' association, the majority of the opinion was for him to apologize to the imperial family.

'Ungrateful bastards! Who has been taking care of the family? I've devoted my whole life to the family and the church, yet they betrayed me!'

Howard was angry.

Even when everyone betrayed him, only Gail remained loyal to the end.

But even so, I couldn't tell him about Phillip's gift.

It was a secret that was passed on only to the Kensway family's leader.

A gift from Emperor Phillip to his loyal servant Logan Kensway a thousand years ago.

With this, they can get out of the crisis.

He will destroy all the people who betrayed him, that arrogant crown princess, the monstrous prince, the hillbilly Marron, and the emperor who is the main culprit of all this!

Howard had the upper hand from the start. However, he did not make a decision easily even though he knew that he could completely reverse the situation by using it.

Of course, after spreading rumours about Crown Princess and Chang, he decided to use Phillip's gift.

But it was hard to think of using the gift.

So he was happy when he heard that there was an epidemic on the trading ship.

If they use this, they won't have to use the 'gift'. But it was the worst choice.

The people accused Howard of trying to slaughter innocent sailors.

But at the same time, Howard was blaming himself for something else.

'I was too weak. I couldn't do it.'

Because of his compassion as a priest, he hesitated to the end. That's why he's driven to the corner like this.

After the rumors spread as scheduled, or when the emperor appointed Marron as the high priest, he should have used "it."

Howard blamed himself for being too nice, while opening a secret passage hidden in his office.

Passing through the dark and narrow passageway, a small but elegantly decorated room came to view.

Kensway's mansion was a historic mansion built a thousand years ago.

As it had a long history, there were many people coming and going, and some, although very few, knew that there was a secret passage in the office for emergency situations.

However, the fact that another secret space was hidden under the secret hideout was something that only the Kensway family's leaders knew.

Howard took a ring to one of the similar-looking bricks.

Then, the floor moved with a heavy sound and a hidden staircase appeared.

Howard went down the stairs.

On the day of his reign, Howard's father brought him here.

And he told him all the secrets of the Kensway family and "the gift from Phillip."

Howard was terrified to hear his father's story. He also vowed not to use the gift.

It's not just because he was afraid to use it. He was confident.

Howard thought he would be a great high priest who would go down in history.

And he never dreamed that he would be on the verge of being ousted from his family without being able to rise to the position of high priest.

Regretting was useless.

Howard stepped on the stairs for the second time since he became a priest.

It was very dark. He took a step, relying on a small lamp, and being careful not to step on his foot.

At the end of the long stairs, a wall appeared again.

It was the same as then.

Howard was not surprised and put a ring on the wall.

The walls then moved slowly, creating a narrow space for only two people.

There was nothing but darkness.

But Howard knew. The gift is in there.

He gulped without being able to go inside.

Why is he still hesitating in this situation!

He rebuked himself for being weak. After a deep sigh, he finally stepped into the black space.

He once again put the ring to a fixed position. Then the wall moved and a small hidden space appeared.

There was an old box inside.

That is 'Phillip's gift.'

Howard hesitated again. It's not because he hasn't made up his mind yet. He was afraid of the gloomy darkness leaking out of the old box.

If he uses this, everyone in the capital city will die. A great catastrophe will begin.

Just then,

He heard footsteps from behind. Howard looked back in surprise.

"Who is it!"

Who's here? He's sure the door was closed every time he came inside.

Even if they are an intruder who targeted him, they will not be able to come here.

The only people who knew this place were him and his late predecessors.

Oh, there was one more person.

Phillip Geracillion, the first emperor of the Asteric Empire.

He was said to have devised a secret device for hiding gifts.

However, they were all dead.

Right now, he is the only one who knows the 'Phillip's Gift' and this place.

"Who is it? Answer me!"

Howard shouted, hugging the old wooden box tightly.

But the person didn't say anything. It was just the sound of footsteps ringing in the hallway getting closer.

Who is it?

Are they from the Kensway family? Are they trying to oust me or an assassin? Is it the imperial family?

Howard looked at the man who was getting closer and closer, even holding his breath.

The light of the lamp reflected the man's face. He was a figure Howard never expected.

"Richard Cassil…!"

Howard's face was filled with astonishment.

Richard was a criminal who tried to poison the Crown Prince and assassinate Marquis Westin, but failed and was wanted across the empire.

Rumours have it that he eventually drowned in the river, but isn't it true?

"How can a lowly Roum be here…!?"

Richard laughed instead of answering.

"Logan messed up the education of his descendants."

"What! How dare you say that!"

It was a dangerous situation. However, Howard forgot his fear and got angry.

Logan was the first leader of the Kensway family and still a person respected by all.

Yet this lowly Roum dared to insult him.

Even though he was despised as a Roum, Richard's smile remained on his mouth.

"You're a lowly merchant blood, how noisy."

Howard was surprised.

Logan Kensway was known to have come from a family of historic priest family that had descended since the Zelcan Empire.

But it was a complete lie.

Logan was actually a lowly mercenary and had nothing to do with the church.

And this was a secret that only Kensway's leader knew.

"You, you…how did you…"

Richard knew the secret of Logan Kensway that no one knew. He also knew where Phillip's gift was hidden.

Emperor Phillip was the only one who knew how to get in here without the key only they have.

'No way, that's Emperor Phillip's…'

That's absurd. It can't be. As soon as he tried to erase his thoughts, Richard said,

"I'm here to get back the gift that I gave to Logan a thousand years ago."

"Your Highness is our benefactor."

"That's right. If it weren't for you, everyone would be dead."

Captain Barley and the crew thanked me.

They had been treated on board the ship all this time, but today they were all completely cured.

Even if the treatment was just eating fruit.

"The sailors will bear the grace of Your Highness in our hearts and offer our loyalty for the rest of our lives."

"Yes, we'll give you our loyalty."

When Barley said that, the other sailors bowed their heads in unison.

"I just did what I had to do. Get up now."

I hurriedly raised them up. I was so proud to see everyone recovering their complexion after being completely healthy.

"Be sure to prepare fruits when you make a long voyage in the future. Fruits have a lot of healthy ingredients, so make sure to eat them normally."

"I'll keep that in mind."

After repeatedly saying this to the sailors, I left the harbor.

"Hooray, Your Highness!"

"As expected of the blessed girl."

"She's the one who was chosen by the goddess. She has the power of light like His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Your Highness!!!"

On the way to the carriage, there was a tremendous cheer from the people who gathered at the harbor.

Originally, I was going to announce my ability after catching Richard.

It was because I didn't know what kind of scheme he would plan. So I tried not to reveal all of my cards until I punished him. But I think it was the right timing.

As soon as it was revealed that I had the power of light, the rumours spread by the priest subsided in an instant.

Besides, Richard might be really dead.

However, Blake's expression was dark even as everyone cheered.

He's been like that lately. I have no idea why.

"Blake, I'm sorry."

I apologized.

"Did you know that you were wrong?"

"Yes."

I nodded my head.

I made a bet with the priest without consulting with Blake.

I was sure the crew didn't get tancinol, but Blake would have been worried.

I knew that he couldn't sleep well because he was worried about me.

"I'm so sorry."

"Don't do that from now on."

"Yes, I won't."

Blake didn't blame me anymore, and he smiled broadly as he hugged me. I held his hand, and suddenly I felt a cold gaze.

'Richard…?'

I was startled and looked at the side where I could feel the gaze.

I thought I saw Richard for a second, but when I looked closely, he was a completely different man, just his hair color is the same.

"What's wrong?"

"No. Nothing."

I guess I was mistaken.

I shook my head and climbed into the carriage with Blake.

153 – How about a cup of warm tea? (9)

TL: Zimming

Richard looked at Ancia, mingled among countless spectators. But no one noticed that Richard was a wanted criminal.

This is because Richard completely hid himself using the power of light. He will be seen in a completely different way in people's eyes.

Of course, he had no mana of light, so he had to use the mana of light from the Kensway family to use magic.

When he fell to the river, Richard regained all the memories of his past life.

'I'm Phillip.'

He is not a child of a lowly slave.

He was the first emperor to build Asteric Empire and a man who had the power of the goddess.

However, the current situation after he was reborn was devastating.

After Richard's desperate struggle, the empire was in the hands of Rakshul.

The woman he wanted to get even when he became an emperor was next to Rakshul.

Rakshul, or Blake, also took all the power he had gained by betraying the goddess.

'Laontelle, Ancia…You always leave me behind and choose him.'

Richard turned away after he stared at Blake and Ancia, who was affectionately hugging.

"Would you like to go back?"

"Yes."

When asked by Connin next to him, Richard answered briefly.

"You should get ready."

Richard got his hands on the gift.

This was what Phillip had squeezed out with the last remaining power he had in the past and handed it to Logan.

It was supposed to be given to the next emperor. But Phillip's children were all weak and afraid of him.

Some thought he was a demon who killed their siblings and cursed him. After the founding of the country, they were opposed to the continuous slaughter.

They couldn't follow his will properly even if he gave it to them.

Phillip was forced to leave his wills to Logan, his most loyal servant.

The decision was made hastily, but it turned out well.

A treasure was now in his possession. Richard wanted to retrieve everything had lost.

With this, he could get his hands on everything. The empire he built, the power of light, and Ancia.

When I arrived at the palace, a happy face awaited me.

It was Marron, the high priest. He smiled broadly, but he looked very haggard.

He must be very tired because he came back from the west to the capital city without sleeping properly.

"Your Highnesses, long time no see."

"I haven't seen you in a long time as well."

I smiled and greeted him.

"You arrived?"

Blake spit it out briefly. He was sometimes surprisingly blunt.

Even though he's usually a very sweet person.

"When I heard that you were Miss Rose, I wanted to see you right away, so now I'm here."

"Aren't you busy?"

He must have been busy trying to take care of the asmodian trial and to uncover the corruption of the Kensway family.

"Some of them have been taken care of."

Last night, the Kensway family ousted Howard from the family and picked a new priest.

"Congratulations on Her Highness' comeback."

When Marron congratulated him, a smile was drawn on Blake's face.

"Thank you."

"It's my second time seeing you smile."

Blake also smiled when he met Rose. It was the first time Marron saw him smile, he saw Blake smiling for the second time today.

"I guess you're the only one who can make him smile."

"Ancia is my everything."

Listening to his calm words, Marron was somewhat surprised.

It's the first time he has seen Blake like this.

"Your Highness, as I've heard, is a wonderful woman."

It was Marron's responsibility for failing to properly manage the church as a high priest that Howard and other high-ranking priests did this.

He apologized to Ancia, but she didn't blame Maron at all.

Ancia was broad-minded and understanding, so she never blamed others.

However, it is not just that. She's wise and determined.

"Yes, she's too good for me."

"But you must be very worried."

Ancia tried to handle everything by herself.

She did not reveal her identity when she turned into Rose, and this time, she also made a dangerous bet with the priest to save the crew.

Ancia is the wife of the cursed crown prince, but she has captivated the society and the people of the empire since she was young.

Her wisdom and warm character are loved by everyone.

Marron was also fascinated by her.

This was an excellent quality for the Crown Princess, but from her husband's point of view, he must be worried.

"I'm having a hard time. I just want her to look at me…"

While saying so, Blake's smile did not leave his face.

"But it's okay. I can protect her."

He thought he heard more from Blake this time than he has in the past seven years.

Marron decided to take some courage.

"Your Highness, when this is over, would you like to have a meal with me as a friend?"

Marron persistently tried to be friends with him, but Blake repeatedly refused. This time, there seemed to be hope.

"No, I'm busy."

But Blake refused immediately.

"Is it about Richard Cassil?"

"Yes, I'm searching for him."

Richard's whereabouts are still unknown.

No matter how strong the current of the river is, it was strange that even the body could not be found.

Richard must be alive.

Perhaps he's hiding in places such as the valley of chaos or the northern snow mountain.

But the place was full of magic. There was a limit to search there.

So Blake, who had the power of light, had to go himself.

However, he was delaying it because he couldn't leave her alone when the priest was aiming for her.

"When the Kensway incident is finished, the church will help you search for him."

"When the Kensway family is finished, the temple will help us search."

"Yes, thank you."

"If you really appreciate me, catch Richard and let's have a meal together."

"No."

However, it was a refusal again this time.

"I want to be your friend. Doesn't Your Highness need a friend?"

As soon as his curse was lifted, he had never enjoyed his life properly as he searched for his wife.

He had subordinates, but he would never have thought of them as a friend.

Now that Ancia is back, he thought it was time to enjoy his new life. But Blake seemed different.

"No need. I don't have enough time to be with you."

Blake wanted to be with Ancia everytime.

He was already busy with politics, so he didn't want to waste time hanging out with other people.

Marron sighed. Although the crown princess was found, the wall surrounding Blake seemed to have become more solid.

"I can't do that. You need a friend, so I'll be your friend…"

"Do you want to die high priest?"

Even before Marron finished speaking, Blake cut him off.

Does Her Highness know that Blake is a man like this?

Marron suddenly became curious.

Today was the day of a tea party to celebrate my return at Sephia Palace.

I was planning to hold a simple tea party because I felt burdened to do it at the imperial palace ballroom, but my original purpose was fading at some point.

From the moment they entered the entrance of the Sephia Palace, the ladies were amazed.

Small lights made up of beautiful mana stones were everywhere in the Sephia Palace.

I also saw it for the first time today.

Tenstheon and Blake insisted on having a tea party at night for some reason, so I followed what they wanted without thinking. I didn't know they would decorate the entire Sephia Palace with mana stones.

The simplicity I wanted was gone since the party was entrusted to the two.

It wasn't only that.

It was a chilly late autumn night, but the tea party's garden was filled with heating tools, so I could feel the warm and fresh air at the same time.

On one side of the garden, there was the imperial orchestra (Blake tried to bring in all the famous ocarina performers from all over the continent, but I desperately say no), each dessert was as beautiful as an art, and everything was luxurious, including tables and chairs.

The ladies said various things to me,

"I've never seen such a beautiful tea party before."

"There's a lot of talk about how much His Majesty and His Highness care about Your Highness."

"I'm so pleased that Your Highness is back. The moment I heard the news, I cried."

Countess Chardin's eyes were moist. I held her hand tightly.

"Countess Chardin, don't cry."

Countess Chardin was friends with the late empress and took care of Blake. She also taught me how to dance.

She didn't get angry even though I was really bad at it then…she must have been worried a lot because I disappeared.

There were so many people who cared and worried about me.

154 – How about a cup of warm tea? (10)

TL: Zimming

As soon as the tea party began, the conversation quickly began.

"I heard Your Highness was chosen by the goddess of light."

"I was lucky to be given the power of light."

"Wow, that's great."

"I knew it from the beginning. You're special, so you must have lifted His Highness' curse."

"If you have language skills, can you read books from other countries?"

"Yes."

"Then you'll be able to read the books of the East."

"Of course."

The ladies showed interest in the magic of light and the language ability I have.

"Just what was Howard blabbering about before?"

"I heard that the priest is in jail."

"He's not a priest anymore, and it's all because of his own acts. He spread groundless rumours of many people."

"You know what? He even lied about tancinol when it could be cured with just a fruit."

The topic of the conversation naturally shifted to the subject of the priest and scurvy.

Some of them blatantly criticized him while the others kept their mouths shut.

The Kensway family is a respectable family, and many nobles followed them like they're gods.

Everyone knows it's Howard Kensway's fault, but still can't admit it.

But as time goes by and their sins are revealed, they will eventually change their minds.

"But good things have happened in this case. My husband and son started eating fruit."

"Is that a good thing? They've taken fruits I usually eat, and I hate to see it."

"Hahaha, is that so?"

"But it's a relief that we eat it ourselves. I hope the Emperor works well so that fruits don't become scarce."

We talked without restriction because there were less people. However, as the subject of the story flowed toward the Emperor, Countess Chardin coughed awkwardly.

She thinks it's not appropriate to talk about that in front of me.

When Countess Chardin signaled, the other wives quickly shut up and changed the subject.

"Right, Your Highness must not have any worries."

"That's right. His Highness is responsible like His Majesty. So you must've lived comfortably."

"Of course. He had so many women aiming for him in seven years, yet he hasn't forgotten you!"

"Mrs. Marcelle!"

When the story of the women who had been aiming for Blake came out, other wives shouted in surprise.

Mrs. Marcelle also realized her mistake and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

"I'm sorry."

"It's alright."

I already knew it, and it didn't matter. Besides, like Mrs. Marcelle said, he has never forgotten me.

However, the atmosphere froze in an instant.

I was fine, but the other wives seemed to be wary. Suddenly, someone broke the silence and said,

"By the way, Your Highness, you look so beautiful today."

"That's right."

"You look great in that dress."

Perhaps to revive the atmosphere, the wives poured out praises to me.

"I was surprised from the moment I entered the Sephia Palace. Of course, you were beautiful everytime, but I think you're even more dazzling today."

These days, not only Tenstheon and Blake, but also Melissa and Terry tried to feed me something when they saw me, so I gained a little weight.

I was very thin before, so I was satisfied because I looked healthier now. I think my complexion got better too. But I don't think it's a drastic difference…

"That's right. I think your skin is glowing. Do you have any secrets?"

"Please let me know if you have a secret."

The ladies were curious about my cosmetics and other things.

Normally, I would have waved my hand saying nothing has changed, but today I said something,

"Actually, I've been drinking Eastern tea lately."

"Eastern tea?"

"Yes, it's a tea called 'Taekri tea'."

"Is there such a tea like that?"

"It's a tea that was exclusive to the imperial family in Chang before."

The rumours about me quickly disappeared, but the bad rumours about Chang still remained. It's probably because of their anxiety about an unknown territory.

Nevertheless, the ladies' eyes shone brightly when I said those things.

"Where could I buy that?"

"When the trade with Chang begins, the tea will come in."

"It must take a long time."

"I'm afraid so."

I looked at the discouraged ladies and asked them implicitly.

"Do you want the tea?"

"Of course."

"Your Highness, can you give it to us?"

Everyone said it because they wanted to try the tea and hopefully, they'll forget about the vague fear of Chang.

I smiled inwardly.

"I can't, I already finished the tea from Chang."

As soon as I said so, there were sighs of regret here and there.

"But don't be disappointed. I planted the seeds of the tea in the garden."

"Where did you plant it?"

The ladies looked around the garden decorated with flowers and mana stones.

"Right here."

I pointed to the ground next to me. The ladies were disappointed again when they saw that there were no sprouts yet.

"Your Highness, you're too much."

"That's right, are you making fun of us."

A grumpy complaint filled with regret erupted.

"No way."

I gave a light smile and reached out to the ground.

When the mana of light from my hand covered the ground, green buds began to emerge.

The small buds grew quickly. After growing the tea leaves enough to harvest, I retreated my hand.

"Wow…"

At that moment, people began to praise me again.

"I've never seen anything like that before!"

"Is it the mana of light?"

"Yes, it's the mana of light. The Crown Prince can do it too."

I smiled lightly and gestured to the servants. The servants came quickly and took the tea leaves. I started drying the tea leaves with the fire mana stone.

The maids took the dried tea leaves and brewed the tea.

In fact, I haven't finished my taekri tea yet. But I showed them growing tea leaves on purpose.

It was because some people still believed in false rumors and gave a suspicious look to me, even though I announced the fact that I had a mana of light.

With this, they won't doubt me anymore. Not only that, but the fact that I'm the real light mage will spread throughout the community.

It will spread much faster than Howard's rumours.

The tea was placed on each table of the ladies.

I drank tea first since I have the highest status, but it was also to erase their guard against food they've never seen before.

"Everyone, try it."

I drank first, and asked the ladies to try it.

"It's delicious."

"Yes, it tasted great."

"I think it tastes especially more luxurious because it's an exclusive tea."

Fortunately, there was a favorable review of the taekri tea. In the friendly atmosphere, I asked a question.

"Do you know where the black tea came from?"

"Isn't that from the Empire of Ganua? I know that black tea has become popular and widespread under the influence of Empress Rosanne from Ganua."

Mrs. Marcelle answered quickly to make up for the mistake earlier.

"Half of it is right. Empress Rosanne brought me some black tea. But black tea wasn't really from Ganua Empire."

"Where does it come from then?"

"Chang Empire."

"Chang Empire?"

"Yes, the tea I was drinking at Chang was delivered to Ganua."

The ladies seemed quite surprised to hear that black tea actually came from Chang.

It was natural to have that kind of response because it was information that can be learned only by looking at the history books of Ganua Empire.

I heard that black tea originated from China in my life before. This world and my last world seemed different but there were many similarities.

"Paper also originated from Chang. This is the first time that Asteric Empire and Chang have established diplomatic relations, but before that, our cultures have influenced each other."

Tonight, the origin of black tea will spread along with my other stories.

Knowing that there was already a culture from Chang that we are familiar with, the anxiety and rejection of future trade will be reduced.

I smiled and drank the tea again. Suddenly, the entrance was noisy.

A tall and charming young man was walking this way.

"I greet the Crown Prince, the light of the empire."

Blake's sudden appearance prompted the ladies to hurry up and give their greetings.

"Blake, no, Your Highness, what are you doing here?"

I spoke up quickly because we were in the presence of others.

"I'm here to see you."

he said affectionately while making eye contact with me.

"Oh my."

"He's very loving too…"

The ladies spoke with envy. I was a little embarrassed, but Blake didn't seem to show that at all.

"Are you guys enjoying the party?"

"Ah, yes. Your Highness!"

"We're very happy!"

When Blake asked, people were surprised and replied back. I was surprised too.

I've never seen him having a small talk with other women.

"Your Majesty and I have prepared everything for this party. I hope you like it."

"Yes, of course."

"It's more beautiful than any other party I've ever participated in."

When I saw Blake, who was leading the conversation with dignity and tenderness, I naturally smiled. I felt that he came on purpose to help me.

"Today, I prepared a present for Her Highness."

Huh? Present? I was so surprised that I looked at Blake.

"I hope many people will enjoy it as well."

He came up to me after he finished talking. As soon as Blake held my hand, a firework burst into the sky.

At that moment, an exclamation came out of the ladies' mouths. I was surprised and looked at Blake.

"You didn't see this properly back then."

He whispered softly in my ear. Then, my face turned red as I remembered what happened on the national founding day before.

Colourful fireworks, reminiscent of the national founding day

embroidered the black sky.

I forgot that there were other people around me, and I looked at the beautiful fireworks with my head resting on Blake's shoulder.

155 – Into the light we dream of. (1)

TL: Zimming

"It's my first time to be alone with my sister. It's like being on a date."

Diana's mouth corners went up slightly.

She took off her academy uniform and wore plain clothes today.

Diana looked pretty cool in a loose shirt and tight pants.

It is said that since the national founding day, there has been a series of requests for dates and escorts for the ball to Diana.

Not from men, but from women.

I think there are many young ladies who fell in love with Diana after seeing her dancing with me before.

I was actually worried about their response or saying something bad afterwards, so it's a relief that it turned out this way.

We are now going to the Camellia orphanage that Richard ran.

Technically, it wasn't just the two of us going out. The imperial knights were with us.

After Richard disappeared, it was decided that his orphanage will be run by the state.

In the meantime, I wanted to see the Camellia orphanage, but Blake was worried about me, so I didn't do it until now.

Today, Blake had an event that he must attend, so he couldn't go alongside me. He quickly contacted Diana to go with me.

"You don't have to accompany me, why did Blake called you…aren't you busy studying?"

"He did a good job. If he had sent my sister alone, I would have been very upset."

Diana raised her voice with excitement.

"And don't worry about the academy. The tests are all done, only the last winter training is left. There's nothing else to study."

"How's the test?"

As it is a test taken at the academy, of course, safety devices may be provided, but I was still worried. Yet, she answered,

"It's nothing. It's just ordinary test. I was tasked to catch a few monsters."

"Monsters?! You're catching it?"

"What are you so surprised about?"

Diana told me about her experience of catching the monsters. Without a proper reply, I just opened my mouth in shock and listened to her story.

Diana really has become an adult.

Of course, I also tried to defeat monsters a thousand years ago, but I couldn't imagine Diana catching the monsters.

In addition, the original story came to mind. The slender woman, who had fallen for Richard's ruse and was often swayed, grew into a vigorous knight.

After a while, we arrived at the Camellia orphanage.

The atmosphere on the outside was a bit bleak because there are knights guarding the place in case Richard would appear.

But as I went inside, I heard the children's bright laughter.

"The facilities are pretty good."

"I know right?"

Diana looked around the orphanage and was amazed.

I was surprised too. I heard that it was good, but it was out of my expectation.

"He put a lot of effort into the orphanage. I didn't expect him to do such a thing… honestly, I still can't believe it."

Michelle, who was guiding us to the orphanage, looked miserable.

Her and everyone else in the orphanage seems to have respected and followed Richard Cassil.

It is not clear exactly how Richard built the Camellia orphanage, but it was true that he had operated it brilliantly.

Anyway, Richard is a capable man.

He would have been admirable if he didn't use dirty tricks.

If he had kept running the orphanage like this, he would have been respected by many people.

But he eventually broke his reputation with his own hands.

As I looked around the orphanage with mixed feelings, I suddenly heard someone screaming.

"Dirty Roum! Get the hell out of here!"

A boy, who looked about thirteen years old, lashed at a little girl.

The black-haired girl was younger than him, and looked about six years old.

"Not all Roums are bad."

The girl looked scared, but she didn't feel intimidated and spoke confidently.

"The Roums are all bad. Richard, he's a murderer too. You're all criminals!"

"We're not."

"That's right! Or why would the knights be guarding you? All of you Roums are dirty pests! I have to get rid of you all!"

"It's not like that!"

"How dare you yell at someone when you're only a Roum!"

When the girl shouted, the boy raised his hand.

I was surprised, as Diana ran to the child in anger. I followed quickly from behind too.

"Stop right now!"

"Damn it!"

The boy swore, pushed the girl hard, and ran into the building.

"Hey! Stop there!"

Diana ran after the boy. The sudden situation made Michelle surprised and confused.

"Tom, you! Your Highness, I'm sorry."

"No, child, are you okay?"

I checked the condition of the girl first. Fortunately, there was no injury.

"Sob…"

Even though she was fine, her heart must have hurt.

"It's okay. You didn't do anything wrong. You don't have to put up with it."

"Sob, sob…"

As soon as the child was in my arms, her tears poured out.

Then I heard a voice from behind.

"Why should I apologize? What did I do wrong!"

"What? Quickly say it!"

Diana dragged a child named Tom, who pushed the girl here.

However, there was no sign of remorse in the boy.

"Did I say something wrong? The Roums are vermin! They're a disease that carries tancinol after being abandoned by goddess! Get the filthy Roum out of the land right now…agh!"

Tom screamed but Diana didn't scold him.

Of course, Diana was determined to scold Tom, but before that, a small stone flew into his forehead.

I was surprised and looked at the place where the stone came from.

There stood a boy with the same black hair like the little girl.

"Kaluo!"

Kaluo? Is that the kid Chelsea was talking about?

She said that he was the child who fought without retreating to the end when there was a quarrel between the other children and the Roums at the orphanage.

Kaluo approached us as he pulled the girl's arm.

"Shulia, let's go!"

"Yes."

The girl's name is 'Shulia'

Kaluo hugged her tightly and glared at me as if he was protecting her.

It seems like he thought that I was hurting her.

After the situation was somewhat cleared up, Michelle led us to the reception room of the orphanage.

"Your Highness, I am sorry for the incident."

She bowed her head and apologized.

"No, it's okay. More than that, It seems like the conflict between the children is very deep…"

Michelle sighed.

"It wasn't always like this. The children were all on good terms. Unlike other places, there was no discrimination against the Roums in this orphanage. But the atmosphere started to change when Tom came in."

Camellia Orphanage was a new orphanage less than five years old, and most of the original children were young.

Tom is 11 years old, one of the oldest children here, and he was very big compared to children of his age.

If such a child led the atmosphere, other children would be easily swept away.

"Was the child hostile to the Roum from the beginning?"

"Yes, his parents seemed to have died because of tancinol."

"Is it really tancinol?"

Many people mistook the flu, pneumonia or other disease as tancinol, like the recent case of scurvy.

The priests from church couldn't diagnose it properly and it was almost impossible for ordinary people to distinguish tancinol.

"I don't know, but Tom believes so. The Roum spread the disease and killed his parents. So every time he gets into trouble, I scold him and persuade him, but he doesn't listen at all."

Michelle was having a hard time because of this.

"Tom used to bother the Roums every day, and the other kids followed quickly. The Roum children were hurt a lot. Kaluo was a very gentle and nice kid, but he became a lot tougher when he fought with Tom."

"Why don't you send him to another orphanage?"

Diana, who was quietly listening to the story, said. I also agreed with her opinion.

Tom considered the Roums as an enemy.

No matter how much we teach and persuade him, he will keep being stubborn.

It would be better for everyone if she sent Tom to another orphanage without Roums.

Among the private orphanages in the capital city, Camellia orphanage was the only one accepting Roums.

It would not be difficult to find a place for him to move.

"That's what I thought actually. At this rate, he will only hurt everyone. But the owner was against it."

"Richard Cassil?"

"Yes, he cared so much about the Roum children, but strangely, he didn't care as much about Tom's problems. I think he had affection for him because he brought him."

"He brought Tom in himself?"

"Yes."

He brought a child with a grudge against the Roum himself?

Tom was even hostile to Richard, as well as the original children. Why did he keep such a child around him?

Richard never condones anyone who ignores him or shows hostility.

A child could not be an exception.

"Maybe he wanted to see a child like Tom understand the Roum and make peace with each other."

No. I'm sure that's not true.

Richard was not such a man. There must have been some other reason.

156 – Into the light we dream of (2)

TL: Zimming

Tancinol.

A thousand years later, the disease Philip created for his selfish desires were still bothering countless people.

But when I think about it, it was weird. Why is the disease still here?

Tancinol was created by artificially twisting the mana of light. It was not a disease that occurs naturally.

Of course, after a long time, the disease called tancinol itself may have been transformed.

There was a possibility that a disease that was completely different from a thousand years ago could have spread all over the world under the name of 'tancinol' or that the mana contained in the mana of light spread to humans in some form.

But even if I think about it like that, it's still weird.

"Sister, what are you thinking so hard about?"

"No, it's nothing."

I shook my head.

We were on our way back to the palace after leaving the Camellia orphanage.

I said I was fine, but Diana insisted on escorting me back to the palace.

Everyone seems worried about me.

"More than that, Diana, have you thought about what I said?"

"Huh?"

"I mean your debut."

Diana is already an adult but hasn't made her debut.

Gilbert Bellacian died, and her mother didn't take care of her. Hence, there's no one who could help her prepare her debut.

If only I was there, I could help her…

But I couldn't just regret it. I was going to help her make her debut now that everything is not that hectic.

"No need. It's already past my birthday."

"Many people do it after their birthday."

"You didn't do it either."

"I attended a lot of other parties instead."

"His Highness also didn't do it."

Blake also did not have his coming-of-age ball. Maybe it's because of me…

"His Highness will do it soon."

Blake refused, just like Diana, but I wanted him to experience it.

"Then just tell His Highness to do it. I hate wearing dresses and dancing in turns with men."

She shook her head. I didn't say it anymore because she refused it.

But I really want to make a ball for Diana…

While I was thinking about it, the carriage arrived at the Forens Palace.

"Diana, thank you so much for coming with me today."

"No, you call me anytime."

She said she needs to go back to the academy without time for a cup of tea.

"Get in the carriage."

"I can just ride a horse. That's more comfortable, I'll be on my way now."

I was looking at her back when she left and ordered Jayden.

"Jayden, please escort Diana."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jayden strode to Diana's side. But Diana waved her hand.

"No need, just go back."

"Let's go together."

"You don't know what I'm capable of? I don't need an escort."

"Who said I was escorting? I just want to walk with you."

Diana was embarrassed when Jayden spat out indifferently.

"Ah, wha, what, I see…"

The two walked side by side.

Are you sure he's simply a friend?

Looking at them, I smiled brightly.

"Why are you smiling like that?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Blake's eyes met mine.

"Huh?"

"You smiled at the guy."

"When?"

"Just now."

He pouted as he hugged my waist.

"I smiled at Diana."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Don't smile at the other guys."

Unlike his cute voice, his eyes looked serious.

"Alright."

I smiled and stroked his hair.

Then, his expression visibly relaxed.

He looked like a puppy today.

"How was the event today?"

"I was dying to meet my wife throughout the whole event."

Now he sounded like a puppy.

I know that he would have done well even if he said it like that.

Blake was known for his great skills in handling political affairs.

The minister of finance, who was known for his strictness, boasted that Blake is a very good heir of Tenstheon, there are also many other compliments from others.

"Have you been well, my wife?"

"Yes, but I'm a little disappointed."

"Why?"

"A kid is still on my mind. I should have hugged her a little more…"

I kept thinking about Shulia, who was crying. I felt sympathy because it felt like I was seeing myself before I married Blake.

"Let's go there with me next time."

"Can I really do that?"

I thought he'd say no…

"Go wherever you want, but you have to go with me. If you try to go alone like this, I'll get mad."

Blake seems to be very surprised by my sudden visit today.

"Okay, let's go together next time."

I hugged my worried groom tightly and said that.

Kaluo was studying, the door suddenly opened as Shulia came inside.

"Brother, are you studying?"

"Yes."

"What are you studying?"

"You won't understand."

Kaluo had the best grades in the orphanage. He is 9 years old, but he could solve problems that 11-year -old Tom couldn't solve.

"Hehehe."

"What are you laughing for?"

Kaluo spat out curtly.

She's always gentle, that's why other people used to pick her on because they think she's an easy target.

At least she's smiling now, it's better than crying. He thought that she was still sad about the recent incident.

"Brother, eat this."

Shulia reached out her hand. Two yellow candies were placed on her small hands.

"What's this? Where did you get it?"

"Her Highness gave it to me during snack time earlier. You didn't come, that's why I brought yours. Let's eat it together."

She gave him a proud smile. But Kaluo threw the candy in her hand to the floor.

"Why would you take this? You can't eat it either!"

"Brother!"

"She is the Crown Princess!"

"I know, but I thought she's a good person."

Ancia hugged Shulia, who was bullied by Tom.

Even though she knew that she's a Roum, she said Shulia did nothing wrong.

Shulia really likes the Crown Princess.

"They're not a good person! She's one of the imperial family who tried to kill Richard! You're going to eat what she gave you?"

"But they said it was Richard's fault…"

"They're lying! Richard was framed because they were afraid that he would become the Emperor! It was always like that! The Emperor unjustly killed Richard's family!"

Richard said that the Crown Prince is a monster.

Also, the emperor is extremely wary of Richard because he knows that Richard is better than the Crown Prince.

Other nobles were not happy with the Roums becoming the next emperor.

So they worked together to accuse Richard's family for treason and take away Richard's title.

"The people of the empire are all the same! They're our enemy!"

Kaluo recalled the past. He once lived in a Roum village.

Although the village only consisted of Kaluo, Connin, and Shulia's family.

The Roums were treated harshly wherever they went and were targeted by slave traders.

The three families lived in a deep forest, relying on each other. It was a hard time but they were happy. There was no discrimination there.

Yet, the happy days ended so suddenly. People living in the land far away came there.

They killed their parents, siblings, and set fire to their homes, saying they should destroy the Roums who spread the tancinol.

Everyone died, only Kaluo's sister, Karan, Connin, and Shulia survived.

They were engulfed with grief and vengeance. But realistically, there was nothing they could do.

There was no one to side with the Roums, even if they complained.

Richard appeared in front of the four when they were in despair.

Richard saved them. He taught Karan and Connin black magic and helped his family to take revenge.

Kaluo and Shulia went to Camellia orphanage.

"I want to be with my sister."

Kaluo wanted to be with his sister, but she shook her head firmly.

"No, it's dangerous. I will help Richard become the emperor. When he becomes emperor, the Roum will have a world where they couldn't be discriminated against."

"I'll help you too!"

"You should study well instead. Richard will need a great assistant when he becomes emperor. You have to play that role. I'm going to make a country for the Roums with him."

His sister was right. Kaluo remained in the orphanage as she said. In addition, he was the only one who could protect the young Shulia.

"The Emperor framed Richard. You need to be careful! We have to trust Richard!"

Richard saved them. He will help him to establish a world where Roums are not discriminated against.

"Richard will surely create such a world for us…"

But Kaluo didn't explain much to Shulia.

It was too difficult to comprehend for the young Shulia. In addition, it was a secret plan that only Richard and some people knew.

She's nice, but keeping secrets was another problem. It's not the time to tell her yet.

"I hate Richard."

said Shulia timidly, looking at the candy lying on the floor the whole time Kaluo spoke.

157 – Into the light we dream (3)

TL: Zimming

"Shulia!"

"I can't meet Karan and Connin…"

"It was inevitable."

Kaluo felt worried about the two of them.

But Richard said it was all for the greater good, Karan and Connin also became black mage according to plans.

"They're not kicking Tom out either."

Shulia wasn't saying that just because she missed Karan and Connin.

Shulia was getting used to her life.

She had a lot of friends and wasn't discriminated against before. She was very happy.

But with Tom coming, her happiness came to an end.

"That can't be helped. Once someone comes to the orphanage, we can't let them go. That's the rule. It's not Richard's fault."

Is that really true?

Shulia couldn't forget what she saw.

There was a time when Tom severely harassed Kaluo with his group.

It was a usual occurrence, but the level of harassment was very severe that day.

Shulia urgently looked for the teachers.

And she found Richard. But she couldn't talk to Richard.

Richard was watching Kaluo get beaten up. He didn't seem to have any intention of helping him.

Rather, he looked happy.

Feeling instinctively frightened by his expression, Shulia unknowingly stepped back.

Then Richard turned his head and saw Shulia. He strode to Kaluo after a while. Finally, he stopped the fight with a gentle expression as usual.

Shulia told Kaluo about it, but he dismissed it as a mistake.

"Shulia, you don't know because you're still young, but Richard is a really good man. He's better than anyone else. You can't say that."

Kaluo was like that whenever anybody told him about Richard.

Knowing how much he likes Richard, Shulia sided with Richard in front of others.

However, the fear that occurred after that day did not disappear.

When Shulia only looked at the candy that fell on the floor without answering, Kaluo jumped up from his seat and stepped on the candy.

"Brother!"

"It's because of her! She's making you think something weird! Don't take anything from her again!"

"Brother, don't!"

Shulia cried and tried to stop him. Kaluo didn't stop stepping on it until the candy turned into powder.

Shulia cried and fell asleep because of exhaustion. He can't believe that she's crying like this over a candy. She really is still a child.

So he has to protect her. Just like how Karan and Connin protected him.

When Kaluo Shulia's black hair, the door suddenly opened.

He turned his head in surprise.

A woman, who covered herself with a black robe, came inside.

She's Karan, the sister of Kaluo.

"Sister!"

Kaluo shouted with delight.

He was worried that she might also be on the wanted list, so he was relieved to see that she looked healthy.

"Shh!"

However, Karan quickly raised her index finger over her lips before saying anything.

Kaluo hurriedly asked everything about what had been happening.

"Let's go. We have to get out of here."

Karan whispered quickly.

They need to leave the orphanage, she's here to take them.

She's probably sneaking in because she's being chased by the imperial family.

Kaluo quickly understood the situation and nodded.

"Okay. Shulia, wake up."

He tried to wake Shulia up. However, Karan was surprised and held Kaluo's hand.

"What are you doing!"

"Why?"

"You're the only one going. You don't have to wake the kid up."

Why did she say that? Karan addressed Shulia as if she was a stranger. It was very weird.

She found Shulia very cute. When the two went to the orphanage, she repeatedly asked Kaluo to protect Shulia.

"What? What about Shulia?"

"Later."

"But when?"

"We don't have time. We have to go."

"When is she going?"

"Listen to your sister!"

Karan started to become impatient with him.

It was his first time seeing her angry like that. Kaluo was surprised and looked up at Karan.

"I'll take her next time. So you're the only one who's going today."

"Yes."

She didn't give a definite answer again this time. However, Kaluo nodded in fear that his sister would get angry again.

"Get out first."

"Alone?"

"I'll pack your stuff and go out in a minute, so you go out first."

"I'll do it."

"I told you to get out!"

"Alright…"

Kaluo was confused about Karan's behaviour.

'It's my luggage though. I could pack it more quickly. Besides, she has never been to my room before…'

He didn't understand her. However, the thought of luggage was quickly forgotten.

More than that, he was worried about her.

'If I leave, Tom will pick on her more severely.'

He only argued with her but it was obvious what would happen after Kaluo disappeared.

He couldn't leave her and go alons. Shulia needs to go with him, he needs to persuade his sister again.

Kaluo opened the door and went into the room.

Then Karan looked at Kaluo in surprise.

Karan wasn't packing. She was there next to Shulia.

Inside Karan's robe, black smoke was creeping out like a snake. And the smoke covered her small body.

"Kaluo…"

"Sister, what are you doing right now?"

I went to the palace library early in the morning.

Today was a monthly holiday, so I was alone in the entire library.

I piled up books on a wide desk where 15 people could sit, and began to look at the records about tancinol.

"Ancia."

As I was writing on a piece of paper, I heard Blake's voice and looked up.

"Blake, what are you doing here? Are you here to read a book?"

"No, I'm here to see you."

Blake said with no expression.

He had a talent for looking pure even when he said something slick.

"But what were you doing? The book is all about tancinol."

He looked at the books on the desk.

"I've been writing down the timing of the tancinol outbreak."

"Did you organize all this by yourself since dawn?"

"Yes."

"You should have called me."

"It's nothing hard, don't worry."

"Can I see it?"

He pointed to my note, and I nodded cheerfully.

"Sure."

"I think you missed a few incidents. Did you do that on purpose?"

Blake said, skimming through her notes lightly.

He noticed that just a quick look was missing in my notes.

I taught him history when he was young, but now he seems to know more than I do.

"Yes, it wasn't tancinol."

There have been countless people who have been caught in tancinol in the past.

Tancinol is known as a disease caused by the goddess, so even if they thought someone had a disease, it was often misdiagnosed.

Nevertheless, there were many cases recorded in history.

It was called tancinol based on symptoms and progress, Yet, as a result of my careful examination of the records, turns out most of them were completely different diseases.

Back then when I was Laontel, I kept researching about Tancinol.

The experience at that time helped me analyze the data.

"Did you assume this by just looking at the records?

"It's not perfect."

No matter how much knowledge I have of tancinol, there was a limit to judging by past records.

"So I marked it like this."

I pointed to the symbol written down in the notebook.

The possibility of tancinol is clearly marked with an asterisk, a circle for about 80 percent, and a triangle for 50 percent. Blake's expression became serious after hearing my explanation.

"Ancia, are you sure you're 100 percent sure you know about tancinol?"

"Yes, why?"

"Back then, there was a case at the church."

"What?"

"There was a coup in the church in 685. It was to overthrow Kensway's family, when the brutality reached its peak, there was suddenly a tancinol outbreak."

After handing over the note, he pointed to the other part where I marked the circle.

"In 711, when Emperor William set out to reform the church. This was also a failure because of tancinol. And in 762…"

"Opal war!"

"Right. The Opal War broke out in 762.

The Opal War wasn't a real war.

At that time, the Emperor of the Asteric Empire fell in love with Opala, a Roum and tried to make her as Empress, which Kensway's priests strongly opposed.

The emperor tried to reach a compromise by welcoming her as the Empress, but the church refused to allow it.

The Emperor was furious and tried to bring the church down.

Eventually, a war broke out.

During the war, the church remained inferior, but the situation reversed as Opala was caught in tancinol.

Eventually, Opala dies of tancinol, and the emperor is deposed of.

We looked at the other records in a hurry as we found the same thing in common.

When the Kensway family was in crisis, tancinol broke out.

They intentionally caused the outbreak.

158 – Into the light we dream of (4)

TL: Zimming

Phillip must have given the Kensway family the power to create tancinol.

Phillip wanted to be recorded as a perfect first emperor. So he was crazy about erasing his mistakes.

He was probably worried, If tancinol disappears after he dies, people will suspect him.

He must have been nervous about being found out that he caused the tancinol.

He also judged that it would be advantageous to continue making the Roum a public enemy to cover up his crimes.

Therefore, he made tools that could cause tancinol, and left them to Logan Kensway, his only trusted servant.

The Kensway family periodically caused tancinol as Phillip ordered. They do it every time they face a crisis.

This was why the Kensway family could dominate the church for a thousand years.

to dominate the temple for a thousand years.

And if this hypothesis is true….

"We're in trouble!"

"What's the big deal? What happened?

"Howard might cause a tancinol outbreak!"

The Kensway family reversed the situation by using tancinol whenever they were in crisis.

So I'm sure they'll use the same method this time.

Upon hearing what Ancia said, Blake headed straight to the underground prison where Howard was being held.

Inside the prison, Tenstheon and Collin were interrogating Howard.

Howard came to the palace on his own, but he remained silent.

Blake strode towards Howard without greeting Tenstheon.

"Say, are you thinking of creating another tancinol outbreak?"

"……"

At that moment, Howard's lifeless eyes flashed. Blake felt something strange.

He's not surprised because his trick was discovered. He looked rather pleased.

Suddenly,

"What are you doing!"

"Your Highness, stop. I'm really going to die at this rate."

As Blake grabbed his collar, Collin came and tried to seperate them.

"What do you mean by tancinol?

Tensteon wondered what Blake meant. But Blake kept an eye on Howard without saying a word.

Something's wrong. But what is it?

At that moment, he felt a strange mana flowing from Howard's body.

It's not the mana of light, or a black magic, but something else…

No way, this is…!

"Tancinol is made by twisting the mana of light. The Kensway family must have the power to cause tancinol."

Blake shouted, recalling what Ancia said earlier.

"It's tancinol! Get out of here, everybody!

At that moment the mana that was asleep in Howard's body, exploded at once, and blood spilled from his mouth.

"Richard is Phillip…"

Howard said something minutes before his death.

It was the first and last thing he said since he was imprisoned.

He didn't have any energy left as Howard Kensway slowly closed his eyes.

I rushed to the prison when I heard that Howard was dead.

I got goosebumps the moment I entered the prison where Howard was locked up. A twisted mana of light was filling the prison.

This is what caused tancinol. The disease that destroyed the Zelcan Empire a thousand years ago has spread again.

"Ancia, what are you doing here?"

Blake shouted in surprise as soon as he saw me. His voice was full of worries.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. More than that, it's really tancinol."

A twisted mana of light was pouring out of Howard's body.

If it was transferred from another person, or if the energy of the mana was naturally twisted, he could not pour out such strong mana.

As I guessed, he purposely made tancinol by using a tool.

"This is definitely a tancinol."

"Yes."

I gazed at Howard's body, whose body was filled with spots, and bit my lips tightly.

He let his guard down.

Since they are selfish people who sacrifice innocent lives for the sake of their family's prosperity, they thought they would avoid it even if they spread tancinol.

He never dreamed that he would spread the tancinol in the imperial palace until he became a scapegoat himself.

"Did he die all of a sudden?"

"Yes. Something was going on in his body and then he suddenly exploded."

It must be why he couldn't say anything.

"Blake."

I took his hand. There was only pure mana of light on his body, and no tancinol was present.

I know he wasn't infected, but I was still worried so I checked it myself.

"You have nothing to worry about."

Blake patted my hair gently.

"Yes…but where are the others?"

There were only Howard and Blake in prison now.

"His Majesty and Collin are upstairs."

"His Majesty was here too?"

"Yes, the knights were guarding outside, there were only three of us and Howard inside."

So Howard has been holding back to target His Majesty and Blake at the same time. Did he have such a deep grudge against the imperial family?

"Also Howard said something strange before he died."

"What is it?"

"Richard is Phillip."

"Richard is Philip?"

I was shocked for a moment. How did Howard know that? Did Richard get his memory back?

If Richard got Phillip's memory, this situation can also be explained.

As he got memories of his past life, he must have also recalled that he had given the Kensway family a 'magic tool that can cause tancinol.'"

After the tool was recovered, Howard was given a tancinol and turned himself into the imperial palace.

Like he did a thousand years ago, he planned to spread tancinol to the imperial palace to become an emperor.

"I'm going to see father right now."

"Father!"

When me and Blake went inside, Tenstheon and Collin in the room looked at us.

"Ancia, it's dangerous. Why did you come all the way here?"

"I'm fine. So give me your hand first."

I shouted urgently.

There were many things to explain, including the secrets of tancinol, the Kensway family and Richard, but first, Tenstheon's safety was the most important thing.

"So it was really tancinol…"

"Yes…"

On the way upstairs, I had a lot of thoughts.

What if Tensteon gets tancinol?

Then, like the Zelcan Empire, the Asteric Empire will be in great chaos.

My heart was beating fast because I was afraid that I might lose my family.

I held Tenstheon's hand and checked his condition.

In order not to miss every detail, I concentrated my mind and examined every inch of his body in detail.

A thousand years ago, it was not until the symptoms of tancinol appeared that treatment began. I was trapped by Phillip so I couldn't do anything.

But not this time. Knowing the cause of the disease, it was easy to examine. I grinned as I let go of Tenstheon's hand.

"That's a relief. There's nothing wrong."

There was no tancinol anywhere in his body.

"I see."

"I'm so glad. Your Majesty."

Unlike the calm Tenstheon, Collin was very pleased.

"That's a relief."

Blake also spoke bluntly, but his eyes were filled with relief.

"Now give me your hand, Sir Collin."

"Yes, Your Highness."

I gritted my teeth the moment I held his hand.

The twisted mana of light was felt in Collin's body.

It was tancinol.

Richard would have been after Tenstheon and Blake. However, it was Collin who got tancinol.

About an hour later, symptoms of tancinol began to appear.

After a series of coughing, a high fever will came, and he will lose consciousness.

When Howard died, Blake quickly took action, sending the knights and guards out and putting them in one place.

Thanks to this, the disease did not spread to anyone except Collin.

I advised Tenstheon to go back to the Philia Palace, but he could hardly take a step even after he went out of prison.

"Did Collin really get the tancinol?"

Tenstheon asked with a worried look.

Seeing his face, I wanted to say no. I wanted to say that he just caught a cold.

But I couldn't do that.

"Yes…"

Tenstheon lowered his head, and pressed his forehead. Seeing him in despair, I couldn't figure out how to comfort him.

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to him, I'll make sure to treat it."

"I forced him to come along yet I made him suffer like this…I beg you to help him, Ancia."

He held my hand tightly.

"Yes. Trust me."

I won't lose anyone this time.

I had no intention of losing my precious people due to Richard's schemes and tancinol this time.

If Richard intended to repeat the history of destroying the empire, he would surely aim for the imperial family.

He may have planned other things besides Howard.

I looked at every inch of the palace, as Blake questioned Howard's aides in the prison.

"As soon as they heard that Howard was dead, they started to talk. According to them, Howard said that the goddess would bring catastrophe soon."

"So he had intended to use it from the start."

Howard was going to spread a rumor about me and start the outbreak.

However, it was taken away by Richard and he eventually was taken advantage of.

He lost his life miserably, but there was not even a little bit of sympathy for him.

"Yes, the imperial knights are headed to the Kensway family. I've told Marron, so we're going to investigate inside the church."

If it was revealed that the Kensway family has caused the tancinol for a thousand years, there will be a huge backlash.

It was clear that the Kensway family, as well as the church, would lose strength.

159 – Into the light we dream of (5)

TL: Zimming

"There was nothing wrong at the palace."

When I said it, Blake nodded.

"Yes, but I'll tell them to tighten their guard."

"Especially father's escort. I'm sure he'll go after him again if they find out that he doesn't get the tancinol."

"I'll do it."

Blake's expression was dark ever since he knew that Collin got tansinol.

Collin wasn't simply Tenstheon's assistant to him.

He has known Blake since he was a kid, and he cared about Blake regardless of the curse. I'm sure it hurts for him.

"Blake, don't worry too much. Sir Collin will surely be healed."

"Yes…"

He nodded, but his expression was not relieved.

"Do you have any other concerns?"

"No. It just reminded me of the old days."

"Old days?"

"When I was a child… before I was trapped in the palace, His Majesty held my hand and cried when he found out that I got the curse. I've forgotten all this time, but it just popped into my mind. I think he was very sad then…"

"Of course, you're his beloved son."

"Is that so…"

His voice was unsure. Now it seems like he has foggy memories, but the scars of his childhood still remain.

Still, I think he's ready to accept his father's love.

I held Blake's hand tightly.

"Your Highness!"

Then Edon rushed over.

"What's going on?"

"It is said that there's a tancinol outbreak on Camellia orphanage!"

Blake and I headed to the orphanage right away.

I never thought tancinol would take place at the Camellia orphanage.

A thousand years ago, Phillip was after the imperial family. After spreading the disease around the imperial family, Rakshul and the emperor, the Zelcan Empire was in chaos because there was no heir to the throne, so he easily took over.

So I thought he would use the same method this time.

But I didn't think he would spread tancinol to the children he was taking care of.

When we arrived at the Camellia orphanage, the

the captain of the guard explained the situation.

"The Roum kid in the orphanage caught tancinol."

"It's not tancinol!"

I was listening to the captain of the guard's report, and Michelle, who was next to me, flatly denied it.

"It's just a cold. What do you mean tancinol? It's out of the question. Tom misunderstood that."

"No! It's tancinol!"

Tom, who was far away, shouted.

He couldn't come this way because he was blocked by other teachers.

It looked like he was being scolded by the teachers. In the meantime, however, he raised his voice.

"It's definitely tancinol! Isn't it obvious because they're Roums?"

"What happened?"

While they were arguing, Blake asked the captain of the guard.

"It's…"

The captain of the guard explained the situation.

A Roum child caught a cold, Tom knew it and claimed it was tancinol.

The teachers described it as a cold, but Tom apparently did not listen and reported to the knights guarding them.

Michelle was surprised and explained, the captain of the guard agreed with her.

However, as long as the report of tancinol was received, it was a rule to report it to authorities, so it was in accordance with the rules.

Anyway, it was a relief. I'll have to check to be certain, but when I heard the story, it seemed much more likely to be a simple cold.

"Did you quarantine the patient?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"But I don't think it's tancinol. She couldn't have gotten such a terrible disease."

Michelle strongly denied.

"Is the child with the disease Shulia?"

I was surprised and asked Michelle.

"Yes, but it's really a cold. She must be shocked that Kaluo disappeared."

"What do you mean, Kaluo's gone?"

"He suddenly disappeared last night. He must have left the orphanage."

"Alone?"

"Yes."

"Can he even do that? The knights are guarding the place."

The guards were monitoring the orphanage in case Richard showed up. When I questioned, the captain of the guard made a hasty excuse.

"All of the guards coincidentally fell asleep at the time he disappeared."

Is it just a neglect of security? Or is it black magic?

Richard has a black mage next to him, so he may have ordered them to take Kaluo.

"Let's go in for now."

Blake and I headed to the room where Shulia is.

'The kid having tancinol…it might be just a simple cold. Please just be a simple cold…'

I took a quick step, praying inwardly. But as soon as I opened the door, all hope in me disappeared.

Like the prison where Howard was at, a powerful mana of light filled the room. The sinister mana was spouting from a little girl lying in bed.

"It's tancinol."

Shulia got tancinol.

Richard spread the disease to the young girl he was taking care of.

Tancinol began to spread rapidly. The Emperor and the Crown Prince were safe, but the other possible people in the capital were caught in tancinol one by one.

In addition, it was spreading with terrifying speed, regardless of status, such as nobles, commoners, and slaves.

Even though the whole capital was in panic, Richard, who caused the incident, was leisurely drinking black tea and looking at the newspaper.

The newspaper was plastered with stories about tancinol. The majority of reporters blamed the Roums for the sudden outbreak.

The imperial family explained that the Kensway family had been responsible for it, but the words were not heard by the already panicked people.

"In the orphanage established by Richard, a Roum child was caught in tancinol, and the epidemic spread."

Everyone believed this story. This is because it was easier to accept the fact that the Roums, who were originally despised, spread the disease.

[Priest Howard caught tancinol after visiting the Camellia orphanage!]

Richard laughed at the title of the article. Howard had never even been to Richard's orphanage.

Reporters were simply bent on writing provocative articles without confirming the facts.

These days, the more they criticize the Roum, the more newspapers they sell.

Originally a subject of contempt and a favorite subject of third-rate newspapers, the Roum have now become the perfect public enemy.

There were a lot of articles criticizing the imperial family for treating the Roums equally as others, rather than annihilating them.

Wouldn't it be the first time Tenstheon has been criticized since he ascended to the throne?

"What are you so happy about?"

Connin who was next to him asked.

"Isn't it funny that they don't even know what the truth is?"

The imperial family was the only one who had a good grasp of the current situation.

Maybe it's all thanks to Ancia.

Judging from her abilities and what has happened, it was clear that she also found memories of her past life.

"Master, will you leave the Camellia orphanage like that? The children are suffering."

The Camellia orphanage was pointed out as the main culprit of tancinol, and the children were under tremendous criticism.

"They're young. It won't last long. They'll stop eventually."

Richard spat out and put down the newspaper. Connin couldn't say anything more and shut his mouth because Richard looked upset.

The atmosphere calmed down, and soon, they heard the footsteps as Karan came inside.

She was holding onto her wrist with her left hand. Blood was leaking out from his wrist. But Richard asked Karan without looking at her wounds.

"What happened?"

"I'm sorry. The security was so tight that I failed."

Richard somehow tried to transmit tancinol to Tenstheon. However, the Imperial Palace was so heavily guarded that he had yet to make a proper attempt.

"How long are you going to fail? You're worse than Connin!"

When he rebuked her coldly, Karan felt unfair. It would have been much easier if she had been tasked to spread tancinol to their relatives and nobles like connin.

"It's because the palace is heavily guarded…."

"I don't want to hear it. You haven't done anything right lately. Go out!"

"Yes, master."

Karan kept her head down, biting her lips tightly.

When Karan came out, Connin followed her.

"Look at the wound. Are you okay?"

"I'm alright."

Karan said nervously.

"I'll ask the master to treat you."

"Who are you to ask our master for a favor? Don't be cheeky because Richard praised you a little bit these days."

Originally, Richard always favored Karan.

He always praised her because of her cautious and smart personality, he also said that although Connin's magical qualities are excellent, Karan was better.

She also regretted that if she was born with mana as much as Connin, she would have definitely become a much better mage.

But everything changed after Sophia Westin's wedding plan failed.

Richard trusted Connin and neglected Karan, so she became more nervous.

"Karan, what are you talking about?"

The two were childhood friends. They were like a family that had been together since childhood, but serving under Richard, Karan changed.

Karan felt inferior to Connin's magical qualities, and began to think of him as a competitor, not a friend.

It wasn't like this before. She was the one who praised Connin purely for his natural talent for magic.

However, now she is sensitive to trivial matters.

"Nevermind. More than that, what do you think of Richard these days?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think he changed a little?"

Connin and Karan saved Richard from drowning in the river. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with his body. But then Richard changed.

He seemed to have turned into a different person.

He used to be a man who would do anything to achieve his goals. However, everything was to save the oppressed Roum and eliminate discrimination.

But it's different right now.

Richard didn't care about Roums at all, even though the tancinol incident has reached its peak. He even looked happy.

160 – Into the light we dream of (6)

TL: Zimming

"He's different. He's much more capable than before."

After falling into the river, Richard was able to use the magic of light.

Although he needed a mana stone of light to use magic because he did not have a mana in his body, he easily used the magic of light that disappeared a thousand years ago.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess may not know as much magic as Richard.

Karan was hurt while helping Richard escape, which he also easily cured.

"Do you really think so?"

"Are you jealous that Richard is better than you?"

"I'm not jealous!"

Connin burst into a rage. He always trusted and relied on Karan.

Although he is better at magic, her brain and personality is better than him.

Recently, however, she seemed to be a person whose only goal was to be recognized by Richard.

"Karan, are you all right?"

"What?"

"You're not such a person!"

"What did I do?"

"You gave tancinol to Shulia! The other children are infected too!"

Richard ordered them to spread the disease and use items from Kensway mansion.

Connin hesitated, but Karan immediately followed orders.

Moreover, she didn't seem to feel any guilt after doing such a thing.

"It needs to be done."

"Do you still think this is for the Roum now? The whole world is criticizing the Roums!"

"Sacrifice is bound to follow for the cause."

Karan said the same thing as Richard. But it wasn't her idea, she only repeated Richard's words.

Connin shouted in frustration at her.

"Shulia's dying! And that's because of us! Is it even right anymore?"

"That…!

Karan couldn't reply.

That night, Richard told Karan.

For making Shulia suffer from tancinol, her brother, Kaluo, may be brought here.

Karan went to the Camellia orphanage, feeling grateful for Richard, who even cared about her brother.

However, Kaluo noticed her giving Phillip's gift to Shulia.

Kaluo asked what it was, but Karan hurriedly left the orphanage with her brother without explaining much.

Camellia orphanage will soon be covered with death.

However, even after returning here, Kaluo was constantly worried about Shulia and asked her when she would be brought here.

Karan felt a great sense of guilt every time he asked her.

She couldn't answer Connin and only bit her lips, but Kaluo's voice was heard from behind.

"What do you mean by that?"

Karan and Connin looked back in astonishment.

Kaluo shouted at those two.

"I can't believe Shulia's dying! What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

Tancinol occurred simultaneously throughout the capital.

My prediction that he would aim for the imperial family was wrong.

However, I need to do something.

I made a magic tool that can check if someone got tancinol.

It was a slightly modified version of the mana measuring tool used by the mages or the academy.

Of course, it was not 100% perfect, so me and Blake had to check ourselves, but the accuracy was quite high.

I taught Blake how to distinguish tancinol, and he quickly learned it without any difficulty.

The church also used tools made of mana stone of light to prevent illness, which I modified to fit tancinol and make the servants tending tancinol patients to use them.

"How are you today, Sir Collin?"

"I'm fine."

Unlike what he said, Collin didn't look fine at all. He was getting thinner day by day.

We have found a way to detect patients with tancinol and prevent the disease, but we have yet to find the

treatment.

First of all, the only treatment we could do is to slow down the spread of tancinol in the body as much as possible, but it did not mean that the disease did not spread.

Collin's condition has also gotten worse, losing consciousness due to a high fever and even bleeding yesterday.

I promised my father that I would definitely cure Collin's illness, but I was surprised as it got worse.

It was heartbreaking to see him getting worse day by day.

"Your Highness, can you do me a favor?"

"Yes, do say it."

"Please deliver this to His Majesty."

What he handed over was a letter envelope.

"Okay, I'll send it to the palace right now."

This place is a training center for the Imperial Knights, located on the outskirts of the capital.

Originally, it was used for regular training and joint practice by imperial knights, but it is now a place of isolation for patients with tancinol.

Me and Blake were the only ones who could identify patients with tancinol and treat the disease by slowing the spread of the disease.

Therefore, the patients had to be treated in one place.

Although this is a remote place in the capital, it was convenient to contact the palace because there was a shortcut to the palace as it was a training center for imperial knights.

He shook his head as I tried to get the letter from Collin.

"You can't do it right now."

"Then when?"

"When I die, hand him that."

He spoke calmly, but my face became pale.

It wasn't a normal letter, it was a will.

I returned the letter to Collin right away.

"I'll give it back to you. It's a letter that won't be delivered to father anyway."

"Your Highness, I think I'm…"

"Don't think like that. Sir Collin will surely get better. I'll definitely find a cure, so don't worry and get some rest."

I laid Collin down and covered him with a blanket.

I felt heavy leaving his room.

No matter how much the disease slowed down, Collin's condition was serious like the first day.

I had to find a cure somehow.

I'm looking for a way to solve the twisted mana of light, but I haven't had any significant clue yet.

Tancinol was not an ordinary disease but magic.

In order to break the spell, I had to find the rules he had set.

The tancinol can be eliminated only by figuring out the set of rules specified by Phillip at once without making a mistake.

There is also a way to send the mana of light to the core of tancinol so that their body can overcome it by itself, but tancinol had the nature of exploding the twisted mana in the body when a mana of light came in from the outside.

This was also what Phillip had designed. It was designed to turn tancinol into an incurable disease.

'If we could somehow inject the mana of light into the body, we could fix the tancinol…'

However, both methods were difficult to do.

As expected, catching Richard was the easiest way.

If we catch him, he'll know how to cure the disease, and we'll be able to stop the spreading.

However, he disappeared.

"I can't be in other places, so throw the Roums out right away!"

I was in agony when I heard a strong protest from the other side. I was startled and ran over there.

"What's going on?"

I appeared, and the knights bowed all at once.

"Marquis Valon brought us here because he suspected us of tancinol…"

The knights spoke carefully.

Most of the knights were nobles, but the Marquis of Valon is a relative of Tenstheon, who was now fifth in the line of succession to the throne, so they had to be wary.

Since he was only in his mid-20s, he was practically more likely to succeed to the throne.

Of course, it doesn't mean anything when Blake is alive.

He was more likely to be targeted by Richard, so I told him to be careful.

Richard is the main culprit of everything. I don't want to blame the patient, so I gave him tools to prevent tancinol.

When the knights handed over the tools to prevent tancinol, he criticized the shape and reacted sourly.

Now, I couldn't see any of the tools on him.

It was specially made for prevention, but it'll be useless if it was not worn properly.

"Your Highness, I can't be in the same place as the lowly Roums even for a moment!"

Marquis Valon raised his voice rather than reflecting on his actions.

All patients with tancinol were quarantined here regardless of their status.

This was a rule established after the outbreak happened, but Marquis of Valon was always fiercely protesting.

He wasn't unusual. These kind of complaints come in every day.

Not only the nobles but also commoners, because they didn't want to be with the Roums.

"Your Excellency, we're using different buildings based on status and gender, so don't worry."

Another knight tried to soothe the Marquis, but he didn't change his expression.

"I can't believe you're treating the Roums who caused the tancinol! I don't even want to get in unless I get rid of them all!"

"Then get lost."

We looked back at the source of the cold voice.

Blake was walking this way.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? I gave you an option for the sake of the Empire."

Marquis Valon expressed his thoughts, but Blake did not listen and ordered the knights.

"You don't want to be treated. Hey, put him with Marquis Hamel in the warehouse right now.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The knights bowed their heads and followed his orders.

"Let go! Your Highness, you can't treat me like this because of the Roums!"

The Marquis of Valon protested, but Blake ignored it and ordered other knights.

"In the future, punish those who disobey orders regardless of their status and those fail to comply with regulations related to tancinol."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Blake took my hand.

"You don't have to treat them. I'll take care of it, so don't worry."

The patients have been struggling every day, but the situation has not improved.

In addition, problems continued to occur inside the training center.

Incidents were happening every day, including those who protested that they didn't want to be in the same space as the Roums, those who insisted on staying at home, and those who ignored my words and used the mana stone of light at will.

It was hard to tolerate it even if they are a patient.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

I nodded. Back then, he was a little boy I had to protect. But now he has a strong will more than anyone else.
