<Episode 17> Were they playing war? Children are naturally fond of battle. I was not surprised because I encountered it several times during the war. “What? I don’t like Andert. Then I’d have to die from the Great Wizard Mephisto. I’m Raphael!” However, my arms stopped in the air while planting. ‘I did die once,…

<Episode 18> I’ve seen it somewhere. Ignoring the tacky engravings on the back, I opened the note. The paper was dotted in a strange pattern that I could not read. What’s this? “It’s a cryptograph. Here, he left a message saying that it would be better if you learn to interpret these in advance.” I…

<Episode 20> From under the short brown hair, tired light green eyes looked at him. Andert, who smiled playfully as always, patted Raphael on the shoulder and said hello. [Are you sure you’re alive, Raphael? The effect of ‘Charity’ sure is great. I almost thought that a body was crawling in.] Raphael didn’t have the…

<Episode 21> A dark bedroom with three people and an egg huddled together. “Stop talking nonsense!” The head-maid’s cry sounded like a scream. Grabbing her forehead with a distorted face, she gritted her teeth in a voice of deep regret. “What nonsense…I think I was too hasty, why did I show this room to Mr….

<Episode 19> Smiling, he rolled up his sleeve without giving the maid a chance to refuse. On the surface of his pale arm, lines of various colors were neatly engraved. At a rough estimate, there seemed to be around ten. The maid asked with astonished eyes. “What is this…?” “This side has the most available…

<Episode 22> The day after that absurd incident. The fact that Viscount Weatherwood’s identity was actually ‘A relic of Dian Cecht’ put me in quite an agonizing position as well. ‘It would have been better if it were a real egg.’ Viscount Weatherwood, whom the maid had been raising dearly…no, the egg, I didn’t expect…

<Episode 23> Obedience comes with a price. Whether the price will be joy or sorrow is usually only known after. The price I paid today for my obedience was the height of hardships. This is because I had to try on and check the fabric of 9 outfits one by one, including gloves, hats, and…

<Episode 24> By the time we finished matching the men’s shoes to the clothes, the sun was setting behind the mountain. It was the first time since I’d begun my job as a maid that I got a spend an afternoon in which I wasn’t doing any labour – and yet strangely, this felt more…

<Episode 25> The more you dig into negative emotions, the more likely it is to be buried in them. I sat down in the chair opposite Rue’s to erase the painful afterimages that disturbed my mind still. “Thanks to you, I was saved.” Fortunately, my voice wasn’t shaking. Rue, who glanced at me, answered indifferently….

<Episode 26> “Flowers? You need seeds, not seedlings? Since the weather is getting warmer, more people are buying flowers, but it’s been a while since someone bought seeds. Very well, choose a picture that suits your heart from this album, young miss, and I’ll give you the seeds of that flower.” I also recalled the…

<Episode 27> Transformation magic is not very difficult. However, the perfection of the magic was greatly influenced by the viewer’s detailed observation and intuition. All trained wizards could use transformation magic, but only highly skilled wizards could transform themselves into perfect human or animal figures. From that perspective, Rue was a genius. “There’s no other…

<Episode 28> The carriage headed for Midwinterre High Speed Airship Station. Even in the Penrotta Empire, which had excellent magic-education and technology, few cities had a high speed airship station. A high-speed craft is a kind of mobile magic tool that was operated with more than three wizard captains and a large number of magic…

<Episode 29> As I followed the two men who didn’t seem to know how to read the atmosphere, the road to the super-large private airfield appeared. We re-loaded ourselves in the carriage prepared there. As soon as I sat down inside, Rue asked what was so funny that I’d kept staring at the back of…

<Episode 30> Perhaps it was because we were close to the sky, the sunlight was especially strong. I stared blankly at the ceiling in the middle of the bright bedroom, as if it had been lit by dozens of lanterns. ‘It’s been a long time since I woke up feeling so refreshed.’ For me, who…

<Episode 31>  This was the first time I’d heard of the duel between the two successors, but the surrounding circumstances seemed to be easily understandable.  The duties and rights of the Guardian families were famously known in the Magic Alliance.  The Duke’s family, Berkeley.  ‘Guardians of the empire, protectors of the royal family of Penrotta.’  …

<Episode 32> On the third day, I watched the opera, which wasn’t fun at all. On the fourth day, I attended a concert, which was insanely boring. On the fifth day… ‘No, get your wits together. You can’t afford to be idle like this, or your relationship with the assassin butler will be ruined –…
