Where shame rose in Mrs. Nerschelâs pursuit and she was about to surrender completely, she coughed up and Uffi put out a helpship for me.
âMother, thatâs enough to make fun of Master Anisâ
âOh, I didnât mean to tease you.â
âDonât worry, weâre good friends.â
âOh, well! If so, is Uffi more aggressive?
â⊠to the extent that we share a bedroom togetherâ
âHey!?â
They made me look like a help ship and knocked me down under the waterfall!? Mrs. Nerschel started shining her eyes!? Why is Yuffi even flat?!?
âThereâs nothing else to be upset about, isnât there?â
âYa nasty thingâŠ!
âOh!â
âUh-huh!?â
No, donât! My shame will shatter!! Mrs. Nerschelâs raw warm gaze is hard! Iâm going to die, Iâm going to die of embarrassment like thisâŠâŠ! I want to bury it alreadyâŠâŠ! Actually, youâre still mad about the all night habit, Yufi!? Okay, I wonât do it anymore! Forgive me!
Did my desperate prayers arrive, Yufi and Mrs. Nerschel finally changed the subject for me. Ugh, my heart has been brushed down for nothingâŠ
âSo how did you get my old paper again? I heard you were looking into spiritual contracts.â
âThatâs⊠the material that was kept in the Ministry of Magic is so inclined to the content of theology, there are many parts that are not helpful in terms of records as factsâŠâ
âOh, I see. I know exactly how that feels.â
âAgain, Mrs. Nerschel did the same thing?
What I could feel from Mrs. Nerschelâs paper was the pursuit of the truth: magic. The respect, faith, and moral suggestion of beings such as God and the Spirit were to an extent accompanied.
I mean, itâs not really about the side of faith in magic. It could even be described as heterogeneous in the papers kept in that Ministry of Magic.
âI donât have faith, I donât mean to scorn faith, but I thought we should be separated from the mystical pursuit of magic. Thatâs what Princess Anisphere said. I thought it was necessary to state the facts alone.â
âAs far as Iâm concerned, I snort a lot, but havenât there been any changes in the policy of the Ministry of Magic since then?
âThatâs right. So at the time, some factions said it was an innovative thesis, and some were diagnosed with entering the Ministry of Magic. I said no.â
âDid you say no? Why?â
âIf I go into the Ministry of Magic and be the flag bearer, I will create a force. I said no at the time when we were trying to work together to stabilize His Majestyâs reign.â
Ahhh⊠is that also the time. The Ministry of Magic occupies an important place in the Kingdom of Palletia. He said that his father was struggling with his reign at the time, so did he ask him not to stand in the way of it? That makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
I look like a good couple now, and I have a history of meeting people, and so on.
âSo you were a root researcher.â
âRight. Ever since I got married, Iâve been busy as Duchess, and the person I could talk to was about my husband and His MajestyâŠâ
âWhat!? Father too!?â
âOh? Havenât you heard of it? Once upon a time, His Majesty Orphans was interested in landscaping and farming, and he studied it with a hobby? I really like growing flowers and crops, that one.â
âI had no ideaâŠâ
But I think itâs a fatherâs hobbyâŠ. If I could retire early, I wonder if you could build me a personal garden or something to study. I havenât had a hard time before. I think thatâs as good a use as it gets.
I wonder if thatâs why your father showed understanding in magic, too. I think from the bottom of my heart that my father was a good father. I think Iâll walk over some more. He said he would regret not keeping the filial piety within his means.
âNeither did I think I could talk about that paper nowâ
âIt was very curious.â
âWhat do you think of Princess Anisphere? on the relationship between primitive light and darkness and the four major attributes: fire, water, earth and windâ
âIf you follow the myth, the first thing in the world was light and darkness. In other words, it is assumed that the world began with intangible beings and that four major attributes were later born. This is because of Godâs work.â
I donât deny this either. Well, Iâm almost sure this world is a planet just like Earth. Itâs just knowledge from previous lifeâs knowledge, though I keep it to 90% certainty because I havenât tested this world itself.
Then I guess there was the beginning of the planet, but I donât remember the details around here. I donât know if that was born with nature, or if God created the world as it is told in mythology. However, there are certain conclusions at this point in my mind.
âIf we speak on the assumption that there is a God, then perhaps the primitive attribute of light and darkness is God himselfâ
â⊠donât you hate theology?
âI donât like it, but cutting it is inseparable. Regardless if it is just simple material light and darkness, light and darkness presumed to affect magical effects are too different in colour to be arranged as magical attributes together with the four major attributes. Thatâs true of being intangible, but as far as Iâm concerned, I want to focus onâ being intangible but having influence over things that are shaped. â
â⊠material light and darkness, is it? But thereâs no form in light or darkness, is there?
Yufi leans her neck wonderfully. Surprisingly, so is Lady Nerschel. Yeah, but if I think about it on the assumption that light and darkness in magic are intangible, itâs weird when compared to my knowledge.
âGlow, you canât open your eyes if youâre too strongâ
âYeah, right.â
âI mean, even if it doesnât have shape, it does exist at a time when itâs affecting matter. But the magic light is different, and so is the darkness. Itâs not material, it just seems to work conceptually.â
âWell, itâs interesting that light exists as a substance. But you canât touch the light, can you?
âNo, Iâm touching it. Itâs just not big enough for us to recognize it as a formâŠ. right. Would you like a little sugar?
Take the sugar that was prepared with the tea and I scratch it as I drop a spoonful of sugar into the tea. The grains of sugar dissolve and become dispersed in the tea.
âNow the sugar is invisible, but indeed there are grains of sugar blended into this tea. Even if we become invisible grains like this, they exist as substances. In this respect, light is working on matter, but perhaps we should refer to the state in which this is not working as darkness. Well, when I get to know more about it, I canât do itâŠâ
Is light a grain, a wave? Certainly quantum mechanics? I donât know the exact place with the knowledge I just remember with such a bare memory. Even if this world looks the same in the first place, it doesnât know if itâs working under the same laws. So I canât say for sure, there is magic.
I was in the middle of talking about magical light and darkness in the first place. Yeah, letâs get back to it.
âLight and darkness in magic, this is also linked by myths and legends as neighboring beings. I mean, itâs the same, but I guess itâs the opposite.â
âThe opposite of working?
âIf light is an acceleration, darkness slows down. If light is to be activated, darkness is sedation. But the power to work is the same. I think thatâs the difference between the power on the side that moves and the power on the side that stops it.â
â⊠Interesting! I do have a few things in mind.â
âThe healing magic of light acts on the flesh because it is activating the flesh. It is believed that the magic of healing of darkness acts on the spirit because mental illness is often caused by the load on the spirit and helps to alleviate thisâŠâ
âOh! I would have liked to hear that story sooner! Princess Anisphere!â
Mrs. Nerschel takes her seat vigorously, grabbing my hands and shaking them left and right. Oh, oh, something about Mrs. Nerschelâs tension going up on the eel climb!?
A little bit and Mrs. Nerschel also settles her excitement, she laughs, hiding her mouth so that she can sit in her seat and delude herself, looking just a little embarrassed. Yufi was a little cute looking round her eyes at Mrs. Nerschel like that.
âIndeed, each of the magic of light and darkness is rarely used alone. Moreover, most people possess the fitness of light and darkness in alignment, and fewer possess only one fitness. It may have in addition to the aptitude of the four great spirits and subspecies, but maybe that just doesnât meet the standards laid down by man. I thought His Majesty Orphans was a good example.â
âDoes Father only have light and darkness, one aptitude?
âYour Majesty only possesses the aptitude of light. Besides healing magic, I used it to grow plants.â
âHa ha, I seeâ
To say that you donât have aptitude in magic is just to say that you canât handle magic that just transcends standards, which is not the case with cases where you canât use magic completely like I do.
My father seems to tell me heâs only fit for light, but I donât think thatâs just because heâs not good at it, heâs not fit for darkness. Suitability is only a matter of standards set by people.
âI see. This is the discipline of magicâŠâŠ 10 more years, no, 15 years I wanted to see you soon. Princess Anisphere.â
âWe are delighted to hear your assessmentâ
âHehe, if I was about the same age as Yuffi, I might have grabbed it from the side.â
âYes?â
Itâs not a line to put your hand on your cheek like that and smile gently, Mrs. Nerschel!?
âI wonder if Princess Anisphere will come to adopt the Duke of Magentaâs family once Yuffi has gone to the royal family to adopt him?
âNo!? What are you talking about!?â
âJust kidding, kiddingâ
Really no? That was the voice that made me want to hear it. I mean, my eyes looked a little serious and I was scared. This family has too much eyesightâŠ
âMother, thatâs all you have to play withâ
âOh, jealousy? Yufi.â
â⊠jealousy, do you say? Itâs unpleasant for your mother to take the anise.â
âUnpleasant! Ugh, youâre starting to say that too.â
Bye, Ababa!? Thatâs what Yufi says again! Yufiâs got a little lip pointy, and Mrs. Nerschelâs laughing like sheâs in her bump. What is this?
Where Mrs Nerschel exhaled, laughing strangely for a while, she cuts out the subject.
âIs it to explore spiritual covenants that we examine the formation of spirits?â
âRight. Because there are so many ambiguous expressions, such as the terms and qualifications of spiritual contracts.â
âRight. I hear spiritual contractors have a lot of unique sensibilities.â
âHave you also met Mrs. Nerschel with a spiritual contractor in our country?
Speaking of which, I was wondering. If your father knew you, Mrs. Nerschel would have met you.
âIâve seen him before, but not when he tells me heâs close. Yeah, itâs just a coincidence of interest.â
âIs it a match of interest?
â⊠Iâm glad you actually met to confirm that. In my opinion, Iâm sure it wonât be bad.â
Mmm, what a strange rhetoric. I wonder if the idea of a match of interest is as if weâre having feelings for each other. It seems like some kind of pale relationship though.
âSpeaking of which, wasnât todayâs visit just about the paper?
âYep. I havenât been face-to-face with Caindkun before, so I thought Iâd talk to him properly. He said that Uffi was still avoided.â
âOh, and that kid too⊠He used to say everyday that if Yuffi were to be queen, he would support his sister so that he wouldnât be ashamed to be the Dukeâs headâŠâ
Given Lord Grantsâ position, it is a story that is uncomfortable if you think you will take over afterwards. However, if that person to serve treated my beloved sister unreasonably, I canât help but doubt it.
I hope today it leads to unwrapping that pan. I guess I wonât know that until I see you face to face. As far as my previous reputation is concerned, I donât think heâs a bad kid.
âShall we call it now?
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
âIf you like, pleaseâ
I nod at Mrs Nerschelâs suggestion, looking sideways at the slightly nervous faceted Uffi.
Have a cup of tea as I escort the butler out of the room at Mrs Nerschelâs direction.
âBy the way, are you going to tell Cain that you and Yufi are in love?
âBlah blah.â
I accidentally swallowed it. Thatâs all youâve got today!? Shame on Yufi for gently rubbing my back. Yay, sad one. Whatever it is, breathe and cough.
ââŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ Honestly, what do you think of same-sex and romance?
âConsidering itâs not common, and the position of the two of you, are you thinking about how you can handle inheritance? And that makes me nervous.â
âThatâs rightâŠâ
After all, that problem cannot be avoided. I need to do something someday, but honestly, I donât want to think about it. Thatâs true of me myself, and I donât like that Ufi can do those kinds of opponents.
Iâm also thinking about adopting a child, but that doesnât mean thereâs no problem. The roundest thing is to get a proper son-in-law when you get to the throne. Oh, I have a headache and a heavy temper.
âIf weâre going to get away with it, we have to do one of the reprimands, but if weâre going to solve each otherâs problems, Iâm not going to tell you anyway.â
â⊠thank you. I still want to be happy with Yufi.â
âOh, well. Thank you again for your daughter.â
âYes.â
If I am carefully bowed my head, I also have to correct my posture and reply. I wonder if it was my fault that Mrs. Nerschel, who raised her head, seemed somewhere relieved.
âBut I didnât think Princess Anisphere looked alike⊠but sheâs the Queenâs daughter.â
âYes?â
âHe was admired by the same sex, too, right? His Majesty Orphans, it was a straight line, so I stayed only admired by the far-winded.â
âOh, I can see that somehow. Itâs good to take care of her, isnât it, Mother?â
Then Princess Anisphere inherited it.
âIs that soâŠâ
But my mother also had such a past, which attracts a bit of interest. Next time, I wanted to hear about your fathers. Iâve drawn a line somewhere before and Iâve never even heard of it in privateâŠ
I heard a knock when I was a little blurry. There are signs of people coming from across the door. Is the butler back?
âMaâam, Iâve brought Lady Caindâ
âCome in.â
Immediately after Mrs. Nerschelâs reply, the door opens and one boy enters the room.
My first impression is heâs a luxurious boy. Or farsighted, Iâm going to lose track of my gender. If we get closer, weâll know itâs a boy.
And he looks so neat. The hair colour is silver hair conceded by Mrs. Nerschel, and the colour of the eyes is in deep but vibrant red tea. Yufi was also a tough beauty, but Kaindo is also a beauty with different hairs. I get a soft impression somewhere compared to Yufi.
Itâs just the intensity of the eye that makes that impression misty, too. Canât blood contend, I feel a strong gaze of pressure. What, do the Dukes of Magenta want to beam it out of their eyes?
âExcuse me, Mother. Caind, Iâm here now.â
âCaind, Princess Anisphere has asked to see you. Say hello.â
Caindo-kun moves in and out of my way, prompted by Mrs. Nerschel. Kneel and drool your head as you take your benefactorâs gratitude. I have zero breath of admiration without thinking about pretty sophisticated behavior. The boulder is only a trace of the house of the Duke of Magenta.
âItâs Caindo Magenta. Itâs a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness.â
âItâs Anisphere Win Palettia. Itâs good to see you today. I am doing well for your sister, and your parents. Keep your head up.â
I was about to be in princess mode too. Somehow, you mean you get tight? Kaindo-kun is even more remarkable, although it is something that Yufi felt. Iâm going to embarrass this one if I donât be somewhat cautious.
Take my word for it. Kaindo-kun is turning his gaze straight at me. I honestly donât know if Iâm just staring or staring because of the pressure of that gazeâŠâŠ no its really hard to understand Duke of Magenta house!?
âI wanted to get closer to you today and solve your misunderstandings.â
â⊠misunderstanding, is itâ
Wow, Iâm scared. My voice pointed sharply like a blade. You look just like Lord Grants in these places!
Keep a loving laugh on your back as you accidentally get a cold sweat coming out of you. Have you been intimidated by younger people lately? Isnât that strange? Me, the princess, right? I donât think itâs majestic or anything! I feel something irrational about the world!
âThe misconception is that you can explain Prince Algardâs actions against his sister from the break-up of his engagement to today?
âNo, Iâm really sorry about that my brotherâŠâ
Iâm sorry, too. Come on! I have no sympathy for Al, but come on! Itâs time for me to get mad too, isnât it?!? Itâs more or less an Al Kun butt wipe!?
Caindo-kunâs gaze will grow stronger on the words of apology that have come out of his grudge. This is scaryâŠâŠ! I feel Lord Grantsâ blood musclesâŠâŠ!
â⊠what will royalty do with his head so easily bowed? Are you going to admit no?
âItâs an informal place, so miss it. Yeah, Iâm gonna let you go vegan from here, but Iâm really sorry about Yuffiâs breakup.â
I would like to emphasize that this is only an informal place. I do know how easy it is to say that royalty shouldnât bow its head.
The air seemed to get tingly nervous. Caindo-kun is the cause of that. Yeah, now youâre pre-adultâŠ? You have too much styleâŠâŠ
â⊠If youâre saying itâs informal, can you say something from me, too?
âGo ahead. I came here today to take your grievances, your grievances without any further ado. You can say whatever you want. I canât listen to insults to the royal family, but if theyâre to me, Iâll listen to them. Donât worry about it.â
I canât be fooled by intimidation. Because if we donât hang on here, Yufi and Kaindo-kun might make up for it a long way back. Sometimes itâs a virtue not to talk, but this time if youâre firmly dissatisfied, you have to talk!
âNow, let me be frank. The royal family wonders what my sisterâs devotion is.â
âItâs really royal about that, or a form involving Ufi in the circumstances of me and Al Kun. If you want to bow your head, itâs me and Al, not the royal family. Yufiâs been trying so hard for me. Now youâre with me as my assistant, but Iâm helped by the extraordinary.â
â⊠isnât that just convenient to use your sister?
â⊠Caind, even though itâs too much for you to forgive me.â
What, hey!? Why are you shouting like that low roar all the way to Ufi!?
Or that the pressure on each otherâs gaze is too strong! My spine!! Iâm scared!!
âSister.â
âI serve Lord Anis of my own free will. As for Master Algard, itâs because of his impudence that I couldnât save your heart without. Thereâs a lot of difference between the royal family trying to use me.â
âMy sister herself does. But I donât see her around. If you donât show it in a way that you know, you wonât be able to convince your surroundings.â
âSo for that reason, Iâm helping Anise to contribute to magic.â
âIs it magic, magic⊠Is that really research for the country? I do not deny the achievement itself. But isnât that idea too much for this country?
⊠Ooh, thatâs a heartbreaking word for Mr. Anisphere, Kaindo.
Iâm used to that because theyâve been saying it for a long time. Yeah, yeah, Iâm fine.
âCertainly, Master Anisâ magic is something original. It will take time to penetrate both among the people and among the nobles. And thatâs what we need to do.â
âMy sister is responsible for that,â he said?
âThatâs all magic is worth. And itâs worth serving Master Anis as well. I will continue to appeal aloud, no matter who denies it.â
⊠Thatâs crazy. Me, I was supposed to be here to make up for these two. Why are they all staring at each other in a fightâŠ? Me, something wrongâŠ?
