Louis cocked his head slightly.
Of course, the boy also had something to do.
'I've neglected you so much.'
His teacher said this in a dry tone as she looked at him from above, then she ordered the other magicians.
'What's everyone doing?' From now on, teach Luias properly.'
'Yes, yes!
We'll do it!'
His teacher was a very busy person, so he couldn't stick with her all day long to teach him theoretical knowledge.
Although the mages who received the order sighed hesitantly, it was good.
His teacher was caring for the prince, who certainly couldn't help but be annoying.
The next day was also the day I promised to take him to the Imperial Palace to meet his brother, His Majesty the Emperor.
Louis felt his little heart beating hard, then he detected something and tilted his head.
‘Umm?
Is that my teacher's cat?'
He couldn't help but recognize that distinctive plump body.
The little boy looked around quickly, then ran towards the cat's back for fear that someone would see it.
“Meow.”
The strange cat with an indifferent expression, who sometimes seemed to feel emotions like humans, was very special.
'If she could talk, that would be great.'
Louis bent down and tried to put his hand on the cat's head, but he was hit with a soft fist and smiled sheepishly.
He looked at her soft tail and held his fist, and the cat put its tail in his hand as if it could not resist, and that was exactly like his teacher.
'She seems indifferent but nice.'
But is this an illusion?
Louis tilted his head in wonder.
He felt a strange energy emanating from the cat.
Although the boy was an incomplete wizard who could not speak and therefore could not chant spells, he was a wizard in the end.
He knew how to feel energy and how to collect it in his body.
In fact, he was better in this aspect than other magicians.
The cat's vertically slit eyes moved sharply for a moment.
then….
“I have no choice.”
Louis's eyes widened as if they were about to tear up.
Did the cat just talk?
As if to confirm that it was not an illusion, the cat gently stroked Louis' fat hand with its tail.
“This is a secret between us.
Do you understand?”
Louis nodded frantically, his eyes wide open in astonishment.
Is this a miracle?
Or is the cat special because it is his teacher’s cat?
The cat looked at the spreading redness of his cheeks, then sighed again.
“My name is Lucy.
Keep today’s conversation deep in your heart and be careful.”
He tilted his head in astonishment, blinking his eyes as if he did not understand the meaning, and the cat whispered gently, as if she was telling him a secret.
“You are changed.
You are the first life that person saved.”
Who is meant by “that person”?
“But fate is not complete just by escaping from it once.
It is too early to be confident.”
He did not understand the meaning of her words.
He blinked his eyes continuously and tilted his head like a puppy, and the cat shouted angrily, as if it were growling.
Louis smiled happily at that as well, and the cat spun its fat body in the air and jumped on his shoulder.
Louis stumbled under the heavy weight, and the cat tapped his forehead with its outstretched paw ─ tok.
eyelash.
What is this?
Louis felt something cold pass from his head to his toes.
“I will help you just once.”
The cat felt bored, as if she had finished her work.
“I'm sleepy, Meow.
Carry me.”
Louis hugged the black cat, which slowly descended and settled firmly in his lap, and felt his heart beating rapidly.
A secret between them.
'I won't be able to tell my brother, His Majesty the Emperor!'
This was the moment when the little prince finally had his first friend.
─The organization was discovered by the Emperor.
─The medicines and witnesses fell into their hands!
What are we going to do with this?
─There were sayings that the Emperor and the Duchess had an alliance.
If the relationship between the two groups becomes strong, wouldn't that be a problem?
It was definitely dangerous.
In the current situation, if the organization went public, it would be troublesome.
There was a lot of work left.
Receiving pressure from both mages and awakened ones was very unfavorable.
At that time, the strongest person among those present spoke.
“Let's do this.”
The person closest to their noble and great leader opened his mouth
"The fight can be easily re-ignited.
Didn't we say we have the best taste?"
─What is it?
If a target is touched, it will explode like a bomb.
“Disciple of the Master of the Magic Tower.”
─Ah……. certainly!
The person who carefully distinguishes between the witches and the awakened.
The mute prince, Louis.
"Yes.
They encouraged a fight between the wizards and the awakened.
Then they used the new mirror we made, to harm Prince Louis of course with magic."
─Perfect!
If they did, the two groups, full of suspicion towards each other, might separate completely this time.
“In addition.”
If the Emperor discovered something and followed through, it would be troublesome.
No matter how strong he is, an awakened person without a guide is ultimately a beast without a collar.
“We should prepare a gift for the Emperor as well.
If we leave him like this, this hound might destroy our land, so with this opportunity, we will show great strength.”
The black-gloved person smiled as he rested his chin on his clasped hands.
“By overthrowing the leader who is revered by monsters.”
─Ah!
For the sake of a certain truth, and for the sake of the real world, they all agreed with his confident stance.
Ah, the portal.
What fools.
It was not something to be fought.
It was a blessing from heaven that was given to them!
"Let us embed in their minds that the portal is our power.
The center of this world's power is not the savage awakened or the guides, nor the sorcerers who covet them!"
─Good!
Whatever happens.
We are ready to give our lives!
─We have been waiting for this moment.
Everything for our great moon!
─We will cut the emperor's neck!
The air trembled, and the place they were in shook, unable to calm the excitement they felt.
Soon.
Yes soon.
Chaos will come to this world, and joy will spread through the blood of fools.
They were loyal followers just to achieve this moment.
Hahahaha.
I let out a silent laugh and buried my face in my clasped hands.
“Where did that fat cat go?
Can she claim to be my guide after all!”
the curse.
She played with my hair violently.
Obtained another ultimate skill.
'One more time.'
I looked forward, trying to contain my anger, and the system window glowed, showing the explanation of the magic I had obtained.
[fire spear]
The name is very simple.
I narrowed my eyes and read the explanation.
“The Fire Spear is summoned to destroy the enemy in front of it.
It can be used three times a day.
Be careful not to use it more often.
It may cause internal injury that leads to vomiting blood.
Huh?”
Empty laughter burst from my mouth.
I was writhing in pain as if my lungs were being torn apart with just the transfer magic, so what would happen if I used this?
What exactly does “destroy” mean?
“Oh, how crazy.”
I should have tested it before the show, but I was afraid of the repercussions.
Anyway, having offensive magic was good.
I don't know if I would use it against magic.
'no.
I have to make it usable.'
I looked at the window of the Emperor's calm state today.
She remembered the day's events naturally clearly.
His looks that despise me as usual.
His expression of suspicion that I had done something wrong.
'That's his original face when he sees me.
'It's nothing new to me.'
But why do I rethink at that moment, and hope that the status window will not change?
I sighed deeply.
“What should I do?”
Lately I feel like I've lost my way.
Is this because I see another side of that man who so sweetly says that I am his companion……
“Ah!...that's enough”
She slapped my cheeks hard.
It was very painful, and made me completely awake.
“By day I am the Chief Witch, Duchess of Ariel, and by night I am only a temporary guide!”
I felt that the shiny status window knew my confusion and was mocking me.
Tsk,
I clicked my tongue as I remembered the fat cat who did not return even after nightfall, then I threw myf on the bed.
I felt like I was going to have a nightmare today.
