Chapter 196: Side Story 8



Ironically, you could tell by looking at the laws of the Glick Empire how well the Magic Crystal Rings were selling. As the Magic Crystal Rings recorded an all-time hit, large-scale kingdoms including the Glick Empire began to impose restrictions on movement magic using the Magic Crystal Rings.

It seemed that it was the same wherever technology advances first and laws come later.

Originally, you could set up a destination where you could use the Magic Crystal Ring anywhere, but now the imperial court began to establish its branch.

It wasn’t bad. Because it meant that there was credibility.

Conservative aristocrats were distrustful of magic crystal rings, but when the imperial family started managing them directly, they began to purchase them.

‘I’m glad the magical crystal reserves are astronomical.’

It could be used for at least a thousand years.

Like this, I was enjoying my wealth, but Chloe rolled her eyes a little, wondering what she was worried about.

“Actually, the Grand Duchess didn’t wear any magical crystal rings… so I thought it was slowly closing or giving away the magic crystal ring business.”

“Ah.”

I followed Chloe’s gaze and lowered my gaze to my hand. Eight shiny rings on ten fingers.

“I am wearing these because it was a gift.”

“Oh? I see. Which ring did you receive as a gift?”

Chloe asked very enthusiastically as if she were trying to socialize, but I was a little embarrassed to have to answer.

“…all of them.”

“Ah…!”

I felt my face heated up. Perhaps it was because Chloe’s eyes were too round, or maybe it was because of the startled voice of a rabbit.

I turned my head and said coldly.

“Can we leave in a week?”

“Yes Yes…! Grand Duchess!”

“Okay.”

I turned around and fanned my hands. Susan, who had been smiling with her mouth covered behind me, quickly spoke to Chloe in a gentle tone.

“We will guide you to the annex you will be staying in.”

It had been a week like that.

We headed to the laurel manor in a carriage.

“Martha is finally coming out.”

Linon said in a strange voice that was not like him. I think he was a little thrilled. Of course, Linon was a nobleman.

Alliot, standing in an angled position in the distance, seemed tense. He had a nervous look that did not match the great title of Berg Knight Commander.

‘Martha was a sacrifice for the young Alliot.’

Meanwhile, I raised my eyebrows slightly. There was no choice but to do so…. Because Alliot had two swords on his waist.

‘Isn’t that the cheap sword that Bibi bought?’

What? Why is he wearing that? It wasn’t the only thing he was wearing. He was also wearing a famous sword that would suit the commander of the Berg Knights.

‘Hmm?’

Why would he wear the easy throw away sword? Interest arose right away.

“Bibi.”

I called Abigail, who was standing behind me. She leaned her body towards me.

“Yes, Lady?”

“Look at Sir Alliot.”

Abigail moved her gaze straight away. She had an unknown expression on her face.

“Don’t you think he’ll cry if someone touches him?”

“Should I touch him once?”

I almost choked.

“No?”

“Or?”

“I feel like he is about to cry, so don’t touch him.”

“I won’t do it because the Lady says so.”

“Yes.”

Having said that, I was a little curious. What if Abigail made Alliot cry? Abigail has a cold-hearted personality.

She was without blood or tears, to borrow the expression of any priest….

It was easy to imagine Alliot crying, because when I purified the green manor’s magi, Alliot came to me and shed tears.

Even Alliot didn’t know at the time. The fact that Martha would come out like this. (*Martha was stuck in the manor due to a curse, and now they were going to take her out.)

‘I feel like everything is in order.’

I looked at the green manor with pride.

The appearance of the green manor, which had been ready to lift the curse for a week, was strange. Thousands of magical crystals surrounding a part of the garden, paper with magic modifiers on it, and relics borrowed from the Great Temple were formed like a giant magic circle at similar intervals.

It was difficult to estimate how many magic crystals were used here.

But the result came out so quickly thanks to being able to supply enough magic crystals. Scholars with strong supporters were naturally full of enthusiasm. The research was also going well.

‘After all, it’s all thanks to me.’

Great.

“Why are you smiling so much?”

While I was smiling happily, I heard a voice. As soon as I shifted my gaze, a man immediately caught my eye.

“Lesche!”

When I saw him, I couldn’t help but laugh for a moment. Then I frowned.

“Did you not sleep well?”

“I slept well.”

“…?”

I put my finger to the corner of Lesche’s eyes. It seemed like he didn’t sleep well at all.

“You’ve been busy these days.”

“Yes.”

“You’ve been coming into the bedroom late lately.”

Lately, Lesche has been really busy. It was really nice for Stern to have a giant silver tree.

But the problem was that it was not far from the demon boundary. Now that it was early autumn, the winter that Berg was wary of would be coming soon. High Priest Henoch returned with Myote Stern, but due to the designation of a new base near the boundary, the high-ranking priests and staff who came down from the Great Temple continued to stay at Berg Castle.

Lesche was the type of person who pushed hard until the end when there was work, so the lights in the conference room wouldn’t turn off until very late.

As a result, it had been almost a week since I met him again.

Lesche said, wrapping my hand.

“It sounds like you missed me.”

“Absolutely.”

“…Hmm.”

“I missed you. You didn’t miss me?”

Lesche, who clasped my hands, sighed softly.

“Are you doing this on purpose?”

“What?”

“I think you only say nice things to make me excited.”

“No, it’s not my intention. And why are you saying excited outside?”

I said softly and pulled out my hand. Lesche said with a laugh.

“Let me hold your hand.”

“Don’t say things like that outside.”

“It’s so noisy over there, they wouldn’t even be able to hear me.”

Lesche pointed with a chin gesture. Sure… it was noisy. It was said to be a very complicated spell, and the magical power required to dissolve it and the divine power were mixed with a dazzling light. At the same time, the sounds like fireworks exploding grew louder and louder.

“Grand Duchess! Grand Duke! I’ll take you this way!”

Lesche and I followed Chloe into the magic circle. It was a circle of magic drawn around the green manor, including the nearby garden.

After a while, when I doubted that my ears might explode like this, Martha came out. She looked a little trembling as she walked out.

‘How do you feel?’

She had been tied up in the manor for ten years and finally got out. I couldn’t imagine how she would feel. And how Lesche felt.

Lesche was silently staring at Martha. It wasn’t long before he noticed my gaze and looked towards me.

“Why?”

“Just.”

At the same time as Lesche had a soft smile on his face, Martha completely passed the line of the shining magic circle. That was the moment.

Boom!

A huge explosion was heard without warning. I was pulled into Lesche’s arms and when I turned my head in surprise, my eyes widened inevitably. An opaque wall wiggled and rose high along the line of the huge magic circle created by the wizards.

‘What is this?’

Chloe let out a scream.

“Grand Duchess! There is an error in the formula. Ahhh!”

“What?”

“The wall won’t go down for a week…!”

Before Chloe could finish speaking, the wall rose completely. It was a wall that looked like a mountain range.

I blinked in bewilderment. Lesche looked up and asked with an exasperated voice.

“Are we trapped?”

***

‘I’m dead.’

Chloe trembled.

The bound spell in this idyllic and beautiful manor was very complicated. It was a rare case of combining witchcraft with a very ancient relic. Probably, if the Great Temple didn’t actively help, and if it wasn’t for the magic crystals that the Grand Duchess willingly used, it would take a lot longer…

It would have taken an additional 10 years.

Furthermore, a kind of curse flowing through the blood of Berg, who was the head of the seventeen families, was able to release the curse on Martha more quickly and safely only if two beings of Berg were inhabited officially.

“It’s not hard. Okay.”

“Grand Duchess…!”

Yes, but….

‘The two of them will be locked up…!’

Chloe looked up, unaware of the heights of the sky, at the towering wall with a desire to die. Berg’s knights hurriedly clashed, but to no avail. The raised wall was so slippery that the sword didn’t even stick. They couldn’t even climb up. They had been rushing to airlift the equipment used to climb the ice wall, but to no avail.

“Ahh!”

“Arggg!”

Meanwhile, from afar, Abigail Orrien, known as the ‘Knight of Stern’, grabbed each of the wizards’ collars one by one and threw them on the floor relentlessly. Chloe was terrified and closed her eyes tightly. But Abigail didn’t get her. why?

“Sir…?”

“You’re the one who made it like that, so I’ll leave you alone.”

The magic crystal ring shone in front of Chloe’s eyes.

“Focus on the release. If you don’t get the Lady out in a week….”

Chloe seemed to know enough without Abigail saying more.

“Yes!”

Abigail turned around coldly. Chloe hurriedly helped the wizards that were thrown like rags on the floor, and then began to spread the magic circle.

How much time has passed? Linon, who was in a hurry to have a meeting with aides from afar, ran panting.

“Sir Abigail! What do you think… You look more peaceful than I thought?”

“Because they need a vacation, too.”

“A vacation…?”

Linon gave a bewildered expression.

“Yeah, it’s a vacation. It’s like confinement, but… For now, no one can interfere.”
