Chapter 2-39 : Meeting The Queen For The Second Time (part 1)
After traveling in the swaying carriage for a while, Mylia and Chloe arrived at the royal castle.
ïŒThis is my second time being here but this castle is so magnificentâŠïŒ
There was a custom to repaint the castle every time the government changed, and Queen Kushana painted the outer walls of the castle with white and the roofs with red wine, and because of those flashy colors, people could see the royal castle even from a distance.
ăPlease follow my lead.ă(messenger)
ăUnderstood.ă(Chloe)
The two messengers of Queen Kushana, who picked up Mylia and Chloe, got out of the carriage and led the way.
Chloe was nervous but she tried her best to walk calmly. Mylia was following her from behind.
After walking for a couple of minutes while looking around the castle, they arrived at the front of the big door of the audience room.
ăDragon Slayer, Mylia de la Atwood, and her sister, Chloe de la Atwood, have arrived!ă(messenger)
As soon as the messenger said that, the door opened.
Chloe swallowed her saliva while nervously looking at the opening door.
She grew up in the countryside and came to the royal capital just two years ago. Knowing that she was going to see the queen, she felt a pressure she had never experienced before.
Her face looked beautiful as usual but her expression looked a little stiff.
ïŒOnee-chan⊠I wonder if she is alright⊠Even I, who have met the queen, feel restlessâŠïŒ
When the door opened, they saw the red carpet that spread through the room and the queen who was sitting on the throne at the end of the red carpet.
ïŒThe queen⊠Her majestic aura is intimidating as alwaysâŠïŒ
The queen was wearing a thick red cloak and a gorgeous dress with a crown on her head and a scepter in her hand. Her brownish golden long hair looked glorious, and her neat contours enhanced the beauty of her facial features. Her eyes looked sharp and were shining with determination.
Mylia and Chloe walked quietly on the red carpet and knelt before the queen.
Queen Kushana then looked at Chloe and smiled. She had wanted to see Myliaâs older sister.
Meanwhile, Mylia was quietly looking at the surroundings while kneeling.
ïŒAh, Aria-sanâs dad is here⊠and⊠Geh! Isnât that the combat maniac royal magician? Dalia-san, was itâŠ?ïŒ
There was a female royal magician with a bob haircut and rimless glasses standing to the right of the queen. She was Dalia de la Germell, the one who shot a big fireball at Mylia, saying that she wanted to see Myliaâs cat barrier when Mylia first came here. (ch 2-2)
Dalia stared at Mylia while pushing up her glasses.
It looked like she wanted to talk with Mylia about magic.
ïŒUhh⊠I hope she wonât ask me to fight her againâŠïŒ
While hoping so, Mylia turned her eyes away from Dalia.
After the messengers bowed to the queen once and left the place without making any noise, the queen started talking.
ăFirst of all, Duke Griffith, can you explain for me?ă(Kushana)
ăWith pleasure.ă(Wolff)
Wolff stood up as soon as the queen called out to him.
He smiled at Mylia for a second, bowed to the queen and started explaining.
ăYour Majesty⊠Ladies and gentlemen⊠The beautiful lady here, Miss Mylia de la Atwood, has successfully solved the mystery of Daemonâs Map, which was considered to be the biggest mystery in the Adrashelm Royal Girlsâ Academy. She also obtained the recipe of the potion that can break the petrification curse. Because the most important ingredient to make that potion is Basiliskâs blood, Miss Mylia traveled all the way to my region and successfully defeated Basilisk.ă(Wolff)
Listening to what Wolff said, the officials and aristocrats in the room started whispering and talking to each other.
When Wolff said that, the people in the room started applauding. They were congratulating Wolff and complimenting Mylia.
ïŒSo Aria-chanâs grandma has been saved. Iâm so happy! I hope I can meet her somedayâŠïŒ
ăMiss Mylia did all that simply because she wanted to help her friend, my daughter, and just for that reason, she risked her life fighting a dangerous dragon, Basilisk⊠I cannot thank her enough⊠I do believe that Miss Mylia will become an amazing witch who will lead a new era of magicians in this kingdom.ă(Wolff)
Wolffâs voice trembled a little. He was moved by what Mylia did to his family.
ïŒIâm happy that Aria-sanâs father is grateful to me but⊠This is a bit embarrassing⊠Well, I guess I can bear with it. I feel like Iâm starting to get used to this kind of situation.ïŒ
When Mylia smiled and scratched her cheek in embarrassment, the queen looked at her and applauded elegantly.
ăMylia, youâre such a wonderful girl. Please come forward.ă(Kushana)
ăY-Yes, Your Majesty!ă(Mylia)
Suddenly being called, Mylia stood up and stepped forward.
Chloe was watching over her nervously.
ïŒAlright, I guess Iâll hear what she wants. I hope it wonât be a troublesome requestâŠïŒ
