The Marquis’ Eldest Son’s Lascivious Story

While Wilk was enjoying Minith's breast milk, a visitor arrived at the Mansion, a house arrest facility for nobles set up in the city of Newnelly.

Guided by a civil servant from Quordenze, they were all related to Spierzeig. There were nine of them in total, including eight serfs and one Lord.

The only Lord-class within the group was an elderly man who had retired due to a lack of magic powers. This was the result of excluding as many people as possible who c ould become combat personnel, as they judged that they should not unnecessarily provoke Quordenze's side.

[...Greeting, I'm glad my lady is safe.]

After the Quordenze's civil officer left the room, the elder greeted Romilie on behalf of all the visitors. His voice was trembling slightly with relief.

He is a member of the Zannahorus family, the head of the Spierzeig knight family, or more specifically, Knight Zannahorus from three generations ago. He is the great-gran dfather of the current Knight Zannahorus. The previous Knight Zannahorus was killed by Wilk during Operation Serpent's Fang, and the generation prior to that died of illne ss during the Yersinia disaster.

[It must have been difficult for your old body.]

[It matters not...]

In truth, visiting Newnelly City was quite a hassle for an elderly man whose periods between magic malfunctions were becoming shorter.

[...your words were wasted on me.]

If you rounded up or down, he was so old that he would be 110 years old, not 100. It wasn't that rare for a Highlord or Lord to be over 100 years old, but this was an age whe n many limitations began to appear. The elder accepted Romilie's words of appreciation graciously.

[Then, Princess.]

The current Head of the Spierzeig family, Romilie, was unmarried and had no children yet, so at this point of time she was still referred to as Princess by her family.

[Do you have time to spare?]

Although the only people present at the venue were those connected to Spierzeig, this was still a mansion managed by the Quordenze family. Naturally, the elder asked if it was okay to give various reports now.

[Yes, I have been looking forward to your visit.]

‘I've taken measures to prevent outsiders from overhearing us, so please start your report now

, Romilie replied meaningfully, and the elder nodded slightly in approval.

[...First off, these are letters that have arrived from various noble families.]

Standing behind the elder were the eight serfs, half of whom were Spierzeig's civil officers. They each took out the letters they had been carrying and handed them to the c ivil officer attached to Romilie.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, a vassal would not read a letter from one noble to another first. After making sure the wax seal was intact, Romilie would read the conte nts.

[Do you know the content already?]

[Roughly.]

They may not be the first to read the letter, but that doesn't mean they won't know what it contains.

Letters from nobles on the Eruo continent are not posted in a postbox, but are instead delivered by hand by civil officers under the orders of their respective masters. There fore, when visiting the destination noble's territory, they will often say to the knight or civil officer who greets them, "I bring a letter from my master. It roughly states the foil owing. I would like to deliver this letter to your master, so please make the necessary arrangements". At the practical level, the gist of the contents are shared.

[Now, let me explain to everyone.]

As Romilie said this, she handed the letter to the current Knight Zannahorus, who was standing next to her.

The elder, who had seen this from the sidelines, beckoned the people in the room together so that the information can be shared in a low voice. Even though they had take n measures against wiretapping, it was better to be cautious.

It took some time for the contents of the letter to be shared with everyone.

[I don't know if I can call it fortunate, but it seems the confusion continues. I also learned from the letters that the other families are still in the information gathering stage.]

Just as Romilie said, Operation Snake Jaw was so chaotic that even now that the ceasefire has been concluded, very few noble families had accurate information about it. Most of the nobles were waiting to see what would happen, and very few were making any major moves. As a result, there was no big news that would cause an uproar in t he mansion.

The situation has not worsened, but there is no sign of it getting better either. Those involved with Spierzeig could not be happy about the current situation.

[That is it regarding the letters.]

Unlike letters from nobles, important reports are not prepared as documents. They only exist in the minds of visiting Spierzeig officers.

[...Any new reports regarding the crossing of Arknoa?]

The Spierzeig family had been investigating how Wilk managed to get through the Arknoa Contaminated Area at an early stage of the war. Even when Wilk was besieged in Othelloria, investigators had already entered the contaminated area on the Speirzeig side.

[Yes. We have been able to confirm a purified road in the contaminated area on the Quordenze's side.]

The Arknoa Contaminated Area was so large that it was almost impossible to conceal its entirety. It wasn't that difficult for the Spierzeig family investigators to observe the purified highway that cut through the corrupted land from afar.

[I think it's probably a purification spell from legends, or a new type of magic similar to that.]

The traces of the purification that remain in the contaminated area on the Spierzeig's side have been examined in great detail. The elders reported that there was no sign of any trickery, such as the forced replacement of soil through civil engineering work carried out by a large number of workers.

[Is it truly the purification magic from legends...?]

The person in the room let out an indescribable sound.

Purification magic is the stuff of fairy tales. No matter how many times it's been recited, there are parts of it that are just unbelievable.

[I would like to hear Rona-dono's opinion, but it will be difficult.]

Rona's family is one of the oldest priest families in the Holy City, the sacred Cattlearc family. Romilie thought that they might have knowledge that the noble families did not have, but she didn't think it would be wise to get too involved at this stage.

[Since your relationship with Prince Dunkel seems to be good, we might consider looking into that.]

The Spierzeig family participates in the May Social Gathering in the Royal Capital, so they do have connections with King Levios and Prince Dunkel. The letter that arrived th is time even included a letter from Dunkel.

She pondered whether she can get some information from Rona via Dunkel.

[Princess, I think that for now we should prioritize deepening our friendship with the Prince. If we probe only half-heartedly, we may end up giving out unnecessary informa tion.]

[...You're right. It seems I got a little ahead of myself.]

[Is there something bothering you, Princess?]

Romilie slowly nodded in response to the elder's question.

[Yes, just a little bit... I was asking Prince Dunkel about the origin of the names of the two demonic beasts that attacked the Royal Capital. The answer was in the letter I just read.]

The two monsters that appeared during the May Social Gathering had been named by Dunkel. The monsters' names, Ganarin and Calamitis, had been announced in a letter that had arrived previously, but the origins of their names had not been specifically mentioned.

[Is there something wrong with the monster's name?]

[Yes. I thought they were strange names. Ganarin and Calamitis were probably of ancient origin. I thought they might be derived from Gah Naar'lain and Kalaahu Itif...]

Converting the pronunciation of an ancient language into Eruo is a bit quirky, so there will be more inconsistency than if you were to convert English into katakana Japanes e.

And it required a high level of education to work out the original ancient language from the converted Eruo language, as ancient languages often had many accents and it w as not uncommon for multiple words to mean the same thing.

[Indeed, if it's those words in ancient language, it wouldn't be strange to write it as Ganarin or Calamitis.]

[However, I didn't think that Prince Dunkel himself thought of that. That's what I was concerned about.]

This doesn't mean that Prince Dunkel is an idiot who isn't familiar with ancient languages.

If we were to paraphrase Gah Naar'lain and Kalaahu Itif into full Japanese, they would be "Mole-chi" and "Mushroom-chan". It's a somewhat depressing name.

Dunkel is having a hard time subjugating the demon beast Garanin, and the demon beast Calamitis is approaching the Royal Capital and damaging the Levios family's presti ge. Considering these circumstances, the suspicion inevitably comes to Romilie's mind.

[There are probably some people who intentionally give their powerful enemies names that make them feel weak and try to make themselves look bigger by laughing at the m. However, that doesn't match Prince Dunkel's temperament.]

This is something that Romilie felt because she had actually met Dunkel personally. She didn't think he was the type to be full of baseless self-confidence or pretense, sayi ng things like, "That guy wasn't that big of a deal! Gahaha!".

Then, the Knight Zannahorus, who was reading the letter from Dunkel, looked up and turned to Romilie.

[It seems that Princess's prediction is correct. The letter states that the name came from the fact that Rona-dono, who saw the demon beast Calamitis approaching the Roy al Capital, muttered, "Kalaahu Itif".]

The Levios civil officer, who was accompanying Rona, seemed to sense something out of the ordinary, and took notes of what was said.

[After defeating the demon beast Ganarin, it seems that Rona-dono visited the scene to congratulate Prince Dunkel. At that time, she also referred to the remains of the de mon beast as Gah Naar'lain.]

The letter said that Dunkel seemed to find it amusing that the demonic beasts that the Levios subjugation team worked so hard to defeat were treated like moles, so he borr owed those names and named them Garanin and Calamitis.

However, Romilie thinks that not all of that is true. She judged that the reason he had chosen to use Rona's words was to gain control within the Levios family, who were co nsidering an invasion of St. Navempos, and to show his family that he had a good relationship with Rona.

[It must have been Prince Dunkel's sincerity to tell me the answer.]

The reason why he didn't mention the origin of the monster's name in the first letter was probably because he didn't want to show that much of a relationship with Rona to o ther families, regardless of whether it was within the Levios family.

She believes that the answer given in this letter was either a bonus to Spierzeig for revealing some of the truth about Operation Jaw, or simply a sign of honest praise for so meone who had managed to discover the original ancient language on their own.

[So, what Princess is trying to say is that you are concerned about the relation between Prince Dunkel and Rona-dono?]

[No, what I was concerned about was...]

However, she was unable to verbalize what she was worried about or what she felt insecure about.

[...I don't know. I think I was probably worried about Rona-dono.]

Although it was for a short time, she had a conversation with Rona in the Royal Capital.

There were differences in behavior between nobles and priests, but Rona had the dignity of a noble woman. There is an impression that she was too pure in some places, b ut Romilie also thought she was charming. Overall, they were able to close the meeting with a friendly atmosphere.

However, there is one thing Romilie still hasn't forgotten.

That happened when she first introduced herself. Rona seemed to be looking at the person she was facing, Romilie Spierzeig, but she wasn't. Of course, she's not looking a way. In fact, Romilie felt like she was being stared at, to the point where it seemed that Rona was scrutinizing her. Despite this, Romilie had no idea what was being looked a t.

Because Romilie is the eldest daughter of the Great Noble Spierzeig family, people around her look at her in various ways. On the other hand, She's used to being seen by p eople, and she knows how to present herself.

That's why when she couldn't understand what Rona's black eyes were looking at at that time, she felt so eerie.

[...In any case, we must keep an eye on the developments in the Levios Kingdom. The current Quordenze is a noble belonging to the Kingdom. There is also information tha t Wilk-dono has a good relationship with the next generation of the five Great Noble families.]

[Are you saying that the time is approaching for us to start thinking about how we behave, Princess?]

[Yes. Considering the impact it would have on the surrounding area, I don't think there is an option to leave the Empire right away. However, it seems that there have been movements in the Imperial capital as well...]

Then, Romilie turned to the old man. Asking for a detailed report.

[Yes. The restoration of the Viscount Managris family has been officially decided.]

The Managris family is one of the noble families belonging to the Zinkaen Empire. Emperor Zinkaen, the first Emperor of the Empire, was the third son of this noble family. However, as mentioned in the heroic story of western continent unification, Emperor Zinkaen was kicked out of his parents' home when he was young. When the Empire w as founded, it was like creating a new noble family that could be called the Zinkaen family or the Imperial family. Therefore, the Managris family did not have a big influence within the Empire.

[Pardon me to say this, but, again...?]

In the first place, the Managris family didn't have the luxury of putting on a big face. After all, it is a weak noble family in the western part of the continent that is said to hav e been the most affected by the era of turmoil. At the time of the founding of the Empire, their territory was in tatters, their knightly vassals were on the verge of extinction, and the only remaining Highlords were a few women from the shadow house, a hellish situation for a noble family.

Those involved in the Managris family staked a sliver of hope on the third son, who had returned as a great man, and desperately prayed for help in rebuilding the family. It was so pitiful and miserable that even Emperor Zinkaen did not even think about retaliating against his parents.

Emperor Zinkaen took on the arrogance of serving as the Head of the Managris family in addition to serving as the Imperial family. In this way, he sent in many trusted pers onnels who shared the hardships of founding the nation, and revived it as one of the noble families that supported the Empire.

[Yes, again.]

Romilie smiled bitterly, as if she was troubled by the grumbling of civil servant Spierzeig.

The Managris family had once been revived by Emperor Zinkaen, but recently it was once again in danger of extinction. The cause is the Yersinia calamity.

[There were rumors that there were shadows left behind, but it seems like they were completely wiped out, as most expected.]

The old man's voice echoed coldly in the mansion.

The members of the Managris family, which had finally begun to flourish after overcoming the destruction, collapsed due to a strange disease, and there was no one left to rule the territory. Since even the Highlords of the shadow house had died, there was nothing that could be done.

By the way, the Zinkaen Empire has stronger ruling authority than the Levios Kingdom, so the problems of no-governance like those seen in the Lushna region have not occ urred.

The third Emperor, Emperor Ferolt, has temporarily taken back the Managris territory in the form of Imperial custody. Therefore, after the Yersinia disaster, it was provision ally ruled as a territory under direct control of the Empire.

[So, how will the Managris be revived this time?]

[It is said that a collateral member of the Imperial family will be sent in. Similar to what the previous Emperor did.]

The Managris family has little resistance to accepting the blood of the Imperial family. It was natural since Emperor Zinkaen was originally a member of the Managris family. In the first place, they don't have the luxury of resisting.

And the second Emperor, Emperor Arginis, is publicly recognized for having two wives. Asliza Spierzeig and Fair Lucarcea.

The current Emperor, Emperor Ferolt, is the son of the legal wife Asliza, so the children born to Fair become collateral relatives within the Imperial family. The elder explaine d that by sending one of these collateral members to the Managris family, they were planning to revive it as a noble family.

[When it comes to the descendants of the previous Emperor, I think there was only one person left alive...]

[There is no doubt in my understanding. Due to the Yersinia disaster, Fair Lucarcea's lineage was on the verge of extinction. The one who was sent to the Viscount Managri s family is the last and only survivor.]

[...That's a really strange decision.]

There was nothing but doubts about this decision to revive the Managris family. Romilie continued speaking.

[I can't understand their intention of treating the Managris family so generously. If the Imperial family can afford it, it's fine, but...]

The Managris family is not an important noble family to the Zinkaen Empire. Yersinia's disaster has caused great damage to the Imperial family, so it's not worth it to go to t he trouble of gifting the precious Highlord to maintain it.

It could be said that it would be more efficient in many ways to incorporate Managris territory as a territory under direct control of the Empire. Managing an enclave may be troublesome, but in the future it would be fine to create a new noble house and give it to them as a territory.

[The fact that the blood from the previous Emperor becomes a single line also seems like a bad move to me. Especially now.]

Emperor Arginis sired children who were the Highlords of the Spierzeig and Lucarcea lineages. If they give the last Highlord of the Lucarcea lineage to the Managris family here, the Imperial family will become more Spierzeig-ish.

Now that the war has ended with a victory for the Quordenze family, that could lead to a disadvantage. Romilie thinks that it would be more convenient to keep Lucarcea's collateral relatives on hand as before.

[Is Princess worried about something? In the report, it may be a bit related. But...]

From Romilie's point of view, Emperor Ferolt is a cautious and extremely cautious person. She didn't expect him to make any moves until he saw the effects of the ceasefir e between Quordenze and Spierzeig, or at least until he knew the details of Operation Snake's Jaw. That was an unexpected move.

[There's one thing I'm concerned about.]

Then, the elder asked for permission to speak.

[There have been reports that a strange aide has entered the Emperor's service since last year. Since he has not appeared in public, I think he is using them in private...]

[Does this have ties to it?]

[Yes. There are also rumors that that person was involved in the Viscount Managris family incident.]

The Spierzeig family also has an intelligence unit. It was strange that even though there were a number of intelligence agents stationed around Emperor Ferolt, they were o nly able to obtain information at the level of rumors at present.

Although it is paradoxical, the fact that Emperor Ferolt is doing his best to keep the existence of his close aides a secret is emerging. Romilie sensed that it's deliberate on E mperor Ferolt's part there. He didn't feel like he was being manipulated by a mischievous minister or being seduced by a schemer minister.

[...Are there enough people?]

[There is no problem. We will continue the investigation in the Imperial capital.]

Even though they were defeated, the war was over, and their territory had been significantly reduced, it resulted that there was some leeway in the Spierzeig family's retain ers. Romilie cannot honestly be happy about this, but the number of people who she can use for intelligence has increased accordingly.

[But right now, I want to gather people nearby.]

That "nearby" doesn't just mean espionage against the Quordenze family.

[How's the deal going?]

[The turmoil in the Baron Eberg family has calmed down for the time being... but I think we will need to be careful in the future. The hearts of the young generation of Araf E ntente are attached to snakes.]

The mountainous region that spreads to the west of the Voistra Plain is also called the Araf region. This region is not only mountainous, but also has deep, strong forests, a nd there is little cultivated land, so it has traditionally lacked appeal as a territory.

Inevitably, the rulers of the land will also be weak. For the weak noble families scattered throughout the Araf region, the era of turmoil could be said to be harsh in a differen t way than elsewhere. The country's economic base is so fragile that the stagnation of logistics caused by social turmoil can be a fatal blow, and people have been saying t his even before it was attacked by foreign enemies.

What they could do was not to go out into a world where the fittest were to prey on other territories, but to join hands with the weak.

In this way, the nobles of the Araf region continued to maintain a loose cooperative relationship with the aim of mutual aid, known as the Araf Nobles' Entente.

The situation changed after the Spierzeig family unified the Voistra Plains. The head of the Spierzeig family at the time considered intervening in the West for security reaso ns.

The Araf region has no charm, but as you can see from the map, the rich Arpeo region extends beyond it. It was necessary to think about what would happen if the Friaelles family, which was cool at the time, successfully swallowed Arpeo and grew into a huge power.

After considering both the risk of being burdened by a group of weak noble families and the risk of being burdened by the Friaelles family, the Spierzeig family decided to b ring the "Regional Helping Network", which is rooted in the Araf region, under its umbrella.

Even for the entente nobles in the Araf region, becoming an affiliate of the Spierzeig family was not such a bad idea. In any case, the noble family of the plains had been thr eatening them as much as they wanted, and they were struggling to survive.

If they could get the backing of an overwhelmingly powerful military and economic force, they would be able to throw away their pride in independence in a relatively short period of time, although I wouldn't say it was easy.

The Spierzeig family, having taken over those noble houses under its control, proclaimed the founding of the Kingdom of Voistra, and made its name known as the leader o f the western continent. As a result of this blessing, the Araf region enjoyed a brief period of peace and got used to living under the Spierzeig family.

This relationship of dependence remained unchanged even after the collapse of the Voistra Kingdom and the transition to the nobility of the Zinkaen Empire. The Spierzeig family continued to maintain extremely strong influence over the Entente nobility.

[...It's the effect of the fang and jaw.]

Romilie's countenance turned gloomy. There was something enchanting about her melancholic gesture, but the old man calmly continued on with the necessary report.

[I think that feeling will become stronger as the details of Operation Snake's Jaw become clearer.]

Even the Spierzeig family had some information about Wilk's military operations that began after crossing Arknoa. Since the name of the operation is not classified even by the Quordenze Army, the Spierzeig knights also use that name on a regular basis.

[If Voistra is torn apart, it is only natural that the Entente would be shaken...]

Romilie was once again made keenly aware of the size of the Voistra Plains.

Although the regional network known as the Araf Entente disappeared long ago, the word "entente" is still used within the Empire. The relationship between the Spierzeig f amily and the noble families was so strong.

[Princess. Right now, it can be said that the Entente Nobles have three choices. One is to continue living under us as before...]

There would be no problem if the Spierzeig were to hit a miraculous come-from-behind walk-off home run with the bases loaded, but Romilie understands that it will be diff icult to do so.

The damage caused by the simultaneous defeat of both of her predecessors Magnis and Kindlor was too great. It was like an injury that slowly spread overtime. She is end uring the pain now.

[The other is to ask Arpeo...]

In the past, you wouldn't have known it, but now the Entente Nobles also belong to the Empire. Therefore, it is possible to approach Emperor Ferolt and transfer to the econ omic zone of the Arpeo region to live.

However, it will be a difficult decision for those who have been henchmen of the Spierzeig family for a long time. If possible, they would rather continue the relationship as before.

Moreover, if the war ends, the relationship between the Quordenze family and the Spierzeig family may be restored in the future. If that was the case, it would have been u nthinkable to jump to the center of the Empire.

[And the last option, is to turn to the Quordenze.]

Romilie added one thing to the old man's words, mocking herself.

[More specifically, it depends on Wilk Quordenze-dono ...At least, for the people of Eberg.]

The next Head of the Eberg family was a nobleman who had a strong admiration for heroes and bravery. This is a temperament that is not uncommon among today's young Imperial Nobles.

Recently, he has been causing an incident that resembles a family disturbance by insisting that they should abandon the Spierzeig family and subordinate themselves to the Quordenze family.

After Operation Serpent's Fang, the young nobles of the Araf Entente began to have strange expectations for Wilk Quordenze. It is a thrilling story of how, together with the Speirzeig family and the Entente Nobles, and also the Corridor Nobles in the northern part of the Empire, he will defeat the partisan nobles in the western and southern part s of the Empire.

These Entente Nobles are weak, and by the way, they are all henchmen of the Spierzeig family, so they have a weak position within the Empire. The partisan nobles, who o wned large territories, often made jokes about them.

To put it bluntly, it's an extremely selfish delusion of wanting to beat up the people you don't like under a stronger boss. If the details of Operation Snake's Jaw were to bee ome known, his delusions would become even worse. Just thinking about it made Romilie sigh.

Currently, the current head of the family is admonishing the next generation and younger members, but it was unclear how long this would last.

[...What about Toa?]

[The Eudion family is proactive in protecting Etoilesa-sama. We have been contacted by Knight Budmize, but there has been no change in the situation.]

The "nearby areas" that need to be watched are the Entente Nobles to the west and the Eudion family to the south.

Etoilesa, also known as Toa, happened to be visiting the Eudion family when Operation Snake's Jaws began and thus was able to escape from the Quordenze army. Now s he is currently staying in Eudion territory.

If Romilie were to die right away, the only way would be to use Etoilesa to leave behind an heir for Spierzeig bloodline. Romilie, who was in the position of the current head of the family, had to think about the worst and act accordingly. She has no choice but to pay close attention to the Eudion family's movements.

[Has Eudion-dono said anything?]

[Yes. He only hints at it now, but it appears that he'd like to welcome Etoilesa-sama into Eudion.]

In a sense, it was a predictable flow.

The current Head of the Eudion family is a middle-aged man, but he has been in love with and obsessed with Etoilesa, who is about his daughter's age. Since he lost his leg al wife due to the Yersinia disaster, he wants to marry her as his second wife. And Spierzeig understands that feeling.

That was also the reason why Etoilesa was visiting the Eudion family. Rather than a rugged military officer visiting to greet you, it would be better if a Princess who you are i n love with cheered you up by saying something like, "Trashy You lost to the Evenafis army at Lake Meo^ But from now on, you'll continue to work like an ox for Spierzeig Sending a collateral relative to another territory as an envoy would bring about the risk of collusion, but Magnis, the previous head of the family, had judged that it could not be helped if it was to attract the Eudion family.

[...It may become dangerous the longer she stays there.]

The old man picked up Romilie's murmurs.

[Certainly... if time drags on too long, Eudion-sama may start negotiating with the Quordenze family on his own in pursuit of Etoilesa-sama.]

As Duke Eudion, his family's safety is guaranteed, and if he can make Etoilesa his wife in the process, all the better. If the situation calls for it, he might consider approachin g the Quordenze family.

However, what Romilie was thinking was a little different.

[No, I'm afraid Toa will be dissatisfied.]

[...Really?]

Etoilesa believes that Spierzeig's blood is the noblest. Of course, she would not want to be left behind in Eudion territory forever, but she would also hate to become Duke E udion's second wife.

Above all, it is clear that "Romilie Spierzeig", the symbol of Etoilesa's absolute admiration, is dissatisfied with the current situation of being trapped in Quordenze forever. Romilie was thinking about the danger that someday Etoilesa's emotions will get the better of her and she ends up doing something selfish. The elders all had bitter express ions on their faces, as if they had similar things in mind.

[Let's tell Etoilesa-sama that the Princess wants her to restrain herself.]

[Yes. Please do that.]

She thought it's better than not saying anything, but Romilie wanted to resolve the issue with Etoilesa as soon as possible.

[...There are various problems, but the priority is to get to know Wilk-dono.]

Spierzeig's fate will change greatly depending on Wilk's next move. She needed to understand early on what kind of ideas he had and what he was aiming for. I want to know your heart... putting it into words, it sounds like passages in romance stories, but the current situation is not that sweet.

[I have read and re-read the Nambonan Peace Treaty many times.]

The peace treaty was humiliating for the Spierzeig family, but Romilie read it over and over again. She felt like Wilk's thoughts and values were hidden there.

[As I was doing so, I became concerned about a certain expression in the preamble.]

[The part about the Trinity and One Soul...?]

It's a beautiful phrase, but it's also a bit of a commoner's phrase. Some of the Spierzeig civil officers felt a little uncomfortable with Wilk's use of it.

However, Romilie shook her head and denied it.

[No, that's not it....I might be wrong in my thinking, so I would like to talk to Wilk-dono soon.]

Building a good relationship with Wilk is important for the Spierzeig family. The Spierzeig civil officers were relieved that Romilie had a positive attitude, but they also felt so rry for forcing their precious Princess into such a situation.

[I'd also like to briefly touch on purification magic. I'm sure he won't think that we don't know anything.]

It's definitely out of the question to demand that he tell her something, but it's also unnatural not to ask anything at all. Romilie was thinking of using that as a starting point t o get some kind of information.

One of the Spierzeig civil officers raised one hand.

[Regarding the purification magic, I am curious whether it is a new spell developed by Wilk-dono or not.]

Several people agreed with this civil officer's statement.

Basically, it is said that people with a large amount of magical power are more talented at developing magic. Of course, there are exceptional geniuses, but most of the mag ical scholars who have left their mark on history are Highlords.

The people stationed at the mansion directly felt the abnormality of Wilk's magic power, so they had no choice but to consider the possibility that he had developed a new p urification magic. If left alone, he might end up reinventing legendary magic again and again.

[Very well. Let's probe on that as well.]

The old man was thinking to himself while watching the people having a meeting about purification magic. Should he tell the Princess now? Now that her predecessors and the generations before that have been lost, he is the only one who can pass on that message.

[Princess.]

This is the city of Newnelly, the center of the Quordenze territory.

The old man concluded that one should be careful.

[When you return to Othelloria, I would like to talk to you.]
