A few days after I passed on the stories of Priscilla and Falgana, I was visiting the Adventurerâs Guild with patience. The purpose is to make contact with Falgana, who seems to be in the Adventurers Guild.
Falgana was in the guild for the purpose, so he was able to make contact without difficulty. I was able to meet with Falgana safely. I told him what to tell him.
â⌠so thatâs all I can tell you from here. Depends on how the empire moves, but this oneâs gonna have a dialogue, and Iâll have it ready.â
âI see. I like this country, too, so if we donât have to fight it, weâve never crossed it.â
âI feel the same way about not wanting to fight. As soon as Priscilla returns, sheâll be able to connect with youâŚâ
When Priscillaâs name came up, Falgana looked just a little hoaxed.
Immediately afterwards, after tightening his expression, Falgana bowed his head against me deeply.
âNot now, Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere. Thank you very much.â
â⌠suddenly, what?
âItâs not all about attitude toward the Empire, itâs also about Priscilla. I canât trust you, I had an ambiguous attitude⌠but let me apologize with thanks again. My personal wish is not to be a hostile country to the Kingdom of Palettia, but to be able to go along with it in the future as a friendly country. I pledge once again to do my utmost to do so.â
I become indescribable in the words that make me feel the sincerity of Falgana. I know youâre someone who can still talk to if youâre just an individual dater, but Iâm having trouble reacting because I donât allow myself to be in a position.
â⌠what does Master Falgana think of Priscilla?
I canât tell you anything. I canât stand the air and ask about Priscilla to change the subject. Falgana then replied with an indescribable look on his face.
â⌠at first I felt sorry for him because of his origins. I thought he was a pretty guy, but because of the environment, he couldnât afford to guess how others felt or think about it. Honestly, I was worried. However, if Her Royal Highness the King of Anisphere will take it from me, I will be worried.â
âOh well. Iâll take care of it as much as I can once I get it in my nostalgiaâŚ. Well, that concludes my story. I wonât be able to stay very long, so Iâll be back.â
âOh, contact me through the guild if you need anything. I look forward to seeing you again, Sister King Anisphere.â
Falgana took a seat after smiling. Iâm done talking to Falgana. If we needed any sudden contact, we could recognize each other through the Adventurer Alliance, and thatâs all we can do now.
I dropped Falgana off and put on my hood to hide my face, too, and left the Adventurer Guild behind as it was.
âPriscilla, are you coming in?
Coming back to the outhouse, I headed straight to the room addressed to Priscilla in the outhouse. I knock, then wait for permission to enter, make sure Priscilla responds, then go inside.
Priscilla in private clothes still has a different impression than when she is a samurai. Priscilla looked at the book with only her upper body awake on the bed and smiled softly at me.
âThank you for taking the time, Sister Wangâ
âFine, âcause Iâm just here to like itâŚ. Howâs it going? Howâs it going?â
âLooks like Moya cleared up after all these years,â
Close the book and place it on the provided table. Priscilla looks terribly relaxed putting her hands together holding the book.
Priscilla has often had these expressions since counseling began using Rainiâs vampire abilities. Although I still often showed a faint face when it started, it seems to have settled down a lot lately.
You noticed how I was watching Priscilla, Priscilla shrugged with a smile on her face.
âRainiâs power is great, isnât it?â
âYou started calling out Rainiâs name?
âThey pushed me off because Iâm older and the house has the same characterâŚâ
âOh, I see. Raini was originally a civilian, so he doesnât seem to like being respected.â
âI think youâre doing enough to be respectedâŚâ
In counseling, Priscilla is told that Raini is a vampire. Priscilla was also surprised at first, but was fortunate that she didnât feel overly horrible or anything about Raini in particular.
I would have had more conversations with counseling, and I think Raini would be happy to have more people to talk to after finding out who he is. I really burden Raini with all that.
âRaini really made me feel betterâŚ. because now I think I was more grudgingly solidified than I thought I wasâ
âOh well. I can hardly grasp my pain, especially heartache. Because the shape is not clearly visible, and it is difficult to see from others.â
â⌠rightâ
I look at Priscilla snorting small, and the counseling seems to be going well, and Iâm horrified.
âIf I may ask, but what kind of counseling did you actually get?
âRight. At first, youâve had a lot of dreams, and then youâve repeatedly told me what youâre dreaming about, and youâve been joining me to figure out what Iâm thinking.â
â⌠what dreams did you have?
Priscilla deflected her gaze from me in my inquiry and turned her gaze toward the window.
Priscillaâs eyes staring far away are staring somewhere, not here. Not the world in my eyes right now, but the scenery that must be in my dreams and mind.
âI dream of traveling with my mother.â
â⌠with your motherâ
âYep. I wanted to jump out of that house and return my mother to her hometown. I wanted to go home with my mother. Iâve always wanted to get out of that house. I didnât have the very idea of running away, so I kept this wish sinking at the bottom of my heart.â
Although Priscilla speaks peacefully, I think it was terribly painful when she realized the thought. Even I canât weigh in on what Priscilla, a party, thinks just because Iâm asking, it hurts my chest.
âBy the time I was sure my mother was my biological parent, my mother had already died. I guess what I wanted to die of in my motherâs hometown was the result of such distorted thoughts. But thatâs not a wish I really want to fulfill, so I said I was sinking in the bottom of my heart smoking. Thatâs what Raini said.â
â⌠wellâ
âAdmitting it made it a lot easier. As much as Iâve gone far, Iâve lost my strength.â
Thatâs what Priscilla said after smiling bitterly. The look on Priscillaâs face now changes so much that she thinks that her smile was really masked.
âDo you want revenge on the Sorcerer family, on your own father?
Priscilla turns off her smile at my inquiry and gives her a contemplative look. Once you lay your eyes down, you look like youâre holding your thoughts together. As Priscilla opened her eyes, she spoke softly of the answer.
âI hate you for hate, but thatâs enoughâ
â⌠good enough?
âYep. If itâs going to happen, I want to keep my distance from this anymore. I want my father and my wife to never get involved again and die wild and out of my sight.â

âOh, yesâŚâ
âI donât want those people swinging at me anymore and my life going crazyâŚâ
Priscilla smiles with her eyes narrowed. That was something that resembled a grin that had been floating around for a long time, but felt definitely warm. Is this warmth because Priscilla has been untied for years of trauma, or is it just my assumption?
I just donât mind either. Thatâs fine if Iâm satisfied. Priscilla looks more focused on the future now than she did in the past. Thatâs enough for me.
âI could also talk to Master Falgana. I donât mind if I keep in touch, but Iâll let you censor me, okay?
âYes, again, thank you from what to whatâ
âFine. Priscilla is my squire.â
â⌠although I usually find it odd to use annoying squire heavilyâ
âIf it wasnât malicious, fine. If you donât have a choice, you donât have a choice.â
â⌠looks like youâ
Couscous and laughing Priscilla. However, Priscillaâs expression inadvertently turns into a worrying one. I shrugged with a grunt as I turned my gaze away.
â⌠living is a very scary thing to try to live. Her Highness Sister Wang.â
How was it right to return to the word? I could only look at Priscillaâs side, unanswered.
My days of tranquillity continued when I did not go to the City of Magic and began to live in the outhouse.
If you donât leave the palace, you donât have to worry about assassinations or anything. Security seems to be thorough, and even the Empire canât move around so easily.
Although the serene routine had passed, it was Uffi who informed me that there had been movement.
We are now meeting with the Emperor of the Aylene Empire.
âA meeting. Whereâs the place?
âCarlise, right? This will be our explanation for the assassination of Annis, who protested, and our upcoming talks on national communications.â
I guess the letter Uffi has in his hand is a seal delivered by the Empire. I also get the impression that it seems aristocratic when I take it, but somewhat tough compared to the aristocratic literature of the Kingdom of Palletia.
The contents are not particularly apologetic, and they are content such as wanting to forge mutual perceptions in the context of talks. It is the city named Carlise that will be the venue for the talks.
âCarlise.â
âHas Annis ever been to Carlise?
âA few times as an adventurer.â
Carlise. That is the name of a city that guards the border between the Kingdom of Palletia and the Aylene Empire. The reason itâs called a fortified city is because itâs surrounded by robust fortifications. Iâve had a few trips as an adventurer, too.
Itâs just a place you donât go if you ask me if I like it. Because of the proximity of borders, development is underway in defence, so less nature and less acquisition of spiritual resources. So I wouldnât have gotten to my feet if I hadnât been an adventurer or a request.
âOf course, so am I. Right?
âYeah, in addition to the usual members, I guess.â
âOkay, I know youâve been talking to Navre and the others, but Iâll let you know.â
âYesâŚ. aniseâ
âHmm?â
âI will try to calm down quickly and return to the City of Magic again.â
Yuffi said that with a slightly tighter look. Besides, I laugh bitterly. Although I couldnât make it back to the City of Magic, Uncle Drags is doing something about the scene.
Besides, city building is still halfway down the road, and it will be a little while before I get my hands on the study of magic in earnest. I donât think Iâd be so worried about it.
âI canât do things that never happened, so letâs not have the next one. On the contrary, letâs think of it as a chance, if we keep our relationship with the Empire strong here, we might even reduce our cross spears.â
â⌠I hope itâs easy.â
âIâll see what I can do. Iâm not studying magic to make you use it in war.â
Walk over to Yufiâs side and slap him on the shoulder. Smiling to reassure me, Yufi soothed my expression as well.
And the emperor of the empire, huh? I wonder what the hell heâs like. I thought of it with my gaze out the window.
