Bella was lying on the sofa where Kiehl usually sits, looking at the answers he wrote down.
âItâs a very good answer.â
She sighed heavily as she saw the sheet of paper was filled with font size 8, out of concern that someone might not be the Crown Princess.
âI shouldnât have just handed out a blank paper.â
In particular, it was difficult to understand place names or events in one sentence without background knowledge.
âCooperating with the research on the Fire Kingdomâs magic explosion case?â
She didnât even know what a magic explosion case was. âLetâs all be close,â maybe she should have written it down like this. Meanwhile, Kiehl then pointed to the table in front of the sofa as if he knew she would ask.
âThe papers pertaining to the case are on Bellaâs right side.â
She was not really interested, but she couldnât help but check. However, the more she looked at it, the more interesting the report was.
An explosion accident caused by the instability of the magical powers of the magicians of the country.
The incident took place, ignoring the wizardsâ ages, careers, and everything else. It was like spinning a roulette wheel, and the winning person exploded. In addition, it was said that the cause could not be clearly identified except that the magic was unstable.
âThere have been accidents consistently for two hundred years since the first incidentâŠ?â
Nevertheless, it was about fourteen years ago that it clearly emerged as a problem. It had been frequent since then.
Rio confidently explained that it was the material he had prepared. It seemed that each case of damage was caused by more magic power being released at once than what the magician could contain.
ââŠSo, it can be said that this problem is the most serious in the Fire Kingdom.â
âBy the wayâŠâ
As she listened to Rio, Bella flipped through her report and placed it on the table next to the sofa.
âWould the Fire Kingdom want to borrow the help of the empire, towards which might be a flaw in the country?â
The people of the Fire Kingdom that she saw were quite proud. Wizards were a valuable military resource. There was no way they would like their countryâs wizard to be dug up for the purpose of âresearch.â
Hearing those words, Kiehl looked at her, who was lying down.
âI thought she was just memorizing it. Sheâs sharp.â
The Elysia Empire was a magical powerhouse, but it was centered around the Imperial Family with absolute magical power. Would the Fire Kingdom give up its pride and reach out to Kiehl, who had no magical powers?
When Bella looked at him with a bit of concern, he rather smiled.
âWeâre okay. We have Rinne, right?â
âShe wants to be a genius wizard who appeared for the first time in a thousand years.â
âIsnât it five hundred years?â
She felt a strange sense of deja vu.
ââŠWait for a moment.â
From the moment Kiehl came to the demon realm, Bella knew that it was slightly different from the novel, the person who should have been.
Kiehl had no escort like Peter and Laura, who knew nothing, but Rohan took their place. In addition, there was no villain like Shuria Cruelle. Of course, it seemed that the other young ladies were taking care of that role.
On the other hand, there were also characters who should not exist.
ââŠRio and Rinne are people who shouldnât exist.â
In the original story, Rio died in the demon realm, and after that, Rinne left Kiehlâs side.
There were scenes where he struggled a lot with the loss of his best friend and couldnât see his loved ones. There was also a scene when he missed those who misunderstood him as a commoner and remembered the days when they traveled.
FurthermoreâŠ
âEven if Rio doesnât have a sense of existence.â
Rinne becoming a great wizard was a story that only came out of side stories. That, too, after quite some time, was the story of her becoming a great wizard and appearing in front of Kiehl and Rosaanne, who were living happily ever after.
âWh, what was going to happen? They both canât be killed now⊠There should be a big problem.â
To be honest, it was uncomfortable to see the Fire Kingdom, which was very far from the background of the novel, constantly appearing, but Bella tried to clear her head.
âItâs okay. Anyway, it would be over as long as the two main characters are happy.â
* * *
While Bella struggled in Kiehlâs room, Rosanne was struggling with Myuâs nagging.
âNo, Miss. Do you really intend to become the Crown Princess?â
âHahaâŠ:
âThat guy Kiehl⊠noââ
Saying that, Myu corrected her words as she slapped her own lips.
âHis Highness Kiehl has no feelings for Miss!â
âHaha .â
Mayu felt frustrated at Rosanne, who was just laughing heartily.
In the meanwhile, Juan Cruelle entered the Imperial Palace under the pretext of escorting them, but he, who had not been seen the whole time, was among them for some reason, listening to their conversation.
âBy the way, the question must have been quite difficult, but you passed.â
Rosanne saw this as an opportunity to change the subject and clenched her fists.
âI studied every night!â
âIs that so?â
Myu let out a sigh and shook her head.
She didnât like the fact that Rosanne went out every night.
As she woke up at dawn and secretly went somewhere, she then asked Myu if Bella woke up, be sure to let her know. And every time Rosanne went out after that, it bothered her that she would put a black box or something in her chest and run at full speed, afraid that something might go out.
âWhat is she studyingâŠâ
A few times, she had followed Rosanne. After she gave the black thing to Kiehl, he would climb up a tree and do something by himself while she was just talking to Rio.
At first, Myu thought Rosanne was doing something important under the direction of the Prince. Though at some point, she saw Kiehl going away and only Rio scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
â âItâs okay. Heâs originally the Crown Prince.â
Someone went out for him every night, but the Prince didnât even come out after callingâŠ
Myu really didnât like Kiehl more and more.
Rather, she thought that the person who would suit to be Rosanneâs partner was Juan Cruelle, who was right next to her now. She thought it was quite gentlemanly of him to listen to her as she told him what answer she had written down.
âYou are very thoughtful, too.â
âThatâs the first time Iâve heard such a compliment.â
Bella thought that the grown-up Kiehl was more ferocious and tenacious than she thought.
He really didnât let her go until she memorized it all.
As she trudged along, Jenkins sprinted as soon as he saw her, he seemed to have been looking for her for so long.
âMiss! Where have you been all day?!â
âWhatâs wrong?â
What was wrong? Because he was her assistant, of course, he was looking for her, why was she asking him what was wrong?
Jenkins stared blankly at Bella, who shot at him, speechless.
âFrom the second contest onwards, they moved the rooms, but you donât even know where it is.â
ââŠOkay. Guide me.â
âTomorrow, based on the answers you gave in the first competition, there will be a discussion among the lady. Please practice beforehand.â
Bella crumpled the paper she was holding in her hand.
âIâve memorized it so farâŠâ
And the newly assigned room was on a different level from where she had been with Rosanne.
âAhâŠÂ This is why everyone wanted to be in the Main Palace.â
The room was filled with expensive furniture and connected to the servantsâ rooms separately.
âIf you think about it here, itâs also a separate building.â
âMiss! Sleep with me today!â
âMe, too!â
Even though it wasnât as good as the room she stayed in at Duchy Cruelle, it was enough for distinguished guests to rest.
Still, Bella couldnât rest.
âWhy am I so anxious? Iâll have to take a look at the notes I organized.â
She couldnât turn on her cell phone and organize the novel again. Itâd been a little over a month since she sent Zanbar to the mansion.
Thinking he had already arrived, she pulled out the summoning circle and tried to radio him.
âZanbar.â
However, when there was no answer, she glared at Jenkins with an annoyed voice.
âHey, did you teach him how to radio again before sending him off?â
âYes. He radioed me yesterday as well.â
Bella frowned and looked Jenkins up and down.
âWhat is it? Do they keep in touch every day?â
When she didnât say anything with suspicious eyes, Jenkins answered first.
âLooks like he got a little lost on his way to the mansion.â
She let out a sigh.
âSo thatâs why I said I would follow him.â
âWhere is he? When will he arrive?â
Noticing Bellaâs expression, he pulled out a map from somewhere and spread it out in front of her before pointing at the center of a large imperial map.
âThis is the capital.â
Then, he pointed his finger at the end of the empire.
âThatâs our mansion.â
âHuh.â
âI donât know for sure, but maybe Sir ZanbarâŠâ
Bella was looking between the capital and the mansion. Jenkins snapped his fingers, and he pointed to the opposite end of the road from the Capital to the mansion.
âI think he is here.â
ââŠWhat?â
âWouldnât he be here?â
ââŠAre you crazy? No, how the hell does he go the opposite way?â
At that, Jenkins cleared his throat.
âI gave him a compass⊠but I think he went there thinking it was in the south.â
Bella overturned the table upon which the map lay.
âHeâs not doing anything right!â
She managed to calm her anxiety by slapping Jenkins on the back.
âWhy are you hitting me?â
âPlease hit me, too!â
Wherever Iwer got it, she brought a whip and held it out to Bella.
âMe, too!â
Bella took the whip and tried to get out her anger.
ââŠWhy are you blushing like that?â
Unable to hit her, Iwer looked at her with sullen eyes and was sticking her butt out.
âYou punkâŠ!â
As she touched her heels to the floor, she slowly revealed Zanbarâs shape.
HoweverâŠ
âAhâŠÂ princessâŠâ
âWow! Mr. Zanbar! Youâre so mean! Youâre eating aloneâ!â
As Zanbar was summoned while eating a severed arm, Bella covered her nose and mouth with her hand as the smell of blood spread in seconds.
âHEY! Are you crazy?â
This was why he said nothing on the radio.
âHow can I handle this!â
The newly assigned room was stained with blood from one of the arms that Zanbar had brought with him.
âHow about sending me to the demon realm?â
âWhat kind of garbage dump is the Demon realm?â
She eagerly accepted Jenkinsâ words, and she spread the magic circle in front of her that went directly to the demon realm.
Zanbar threw the arm, which he was carefully holding.
âWill our Zanbar bastard go back to the demon realm as well?â
