The mysterious boy.

Lageta can control and manipulate all types of magic.

But this boy’s magic didn’t even appear in Lageta’s eyes.

When she tried to focus and identify the color of the magic, the boy’s appearance changed playfully, like a child playing pranks.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she released her magic to grasp the boy’s magic.

She was sure she had caught it, but it slipped through her grasp.

It was as if sand slipped through her fingers, escaping Lageta’s confinement.

Having lived for a thousand years, Lageta approached the boy’s magic with seriousness, furrowing her brow.

If it was as dense as a flyswatter just moments ago, this time, she caught the boy’s magic with the precision of a mask filter.

The magic was still escaping, but its escape had significantly slowed down.

“If I weave the spell more tightly…”

Thinking this, as she was about to unfold her magic.

The boy’s hand touched his head.

Snap!

Rageta’s magic, which had been suppressing the child’s magic, disappeared.

It wasn’t that it was thwarted by a high-level magic.

It wasn’t dispersed around them either.

It literally disappeared.

As if it never existed in the first place.

“What in the world…”

Rageta’s head was filled with confusion at this series of first-time occurrences.

“Who… are you?”

Just as Rageta was about to speak to satisfy his curiosity,

“Lord Rageta!!”

Olivia, who was standing behind him, grabbed the boy and held him close to her chest.

A nameless woman standing next to them drew her sword and glared at Rageta.

“How dare you, my lord!!”

This situation was awkward for Rageta.

Magic had failed.

He had been antagonized by someone.

It was something that often happened when he was a beginner.

It happened frequently 800 years ago, when he had just risen to the position of a Great Lord.

***

Kizane, who had escaped from the swaying carriage, followed behind Levian Rageta, walking briskly.

“What the hell!! Why is the Great Lord suddenly acting like this?!”

Levian, who had been moving mechanically, stopped in front of a group.

“Just who the hell caught the Great Lord’s attention?!”

With a mixture of annoyance and curiosity, Kizane examined the subject briefly.

“The aftermath of that knight from back then?”

It was the group that he had seen a few days ago when he visited the mercenary guild.

The group of nobles who had run away with their son.

Kizane thought they were pathetic people who caused trouble and ran away because they had nothing but money.

“Oh my goodness! Are you Lady Rageta by any chance?”

“Yeah.”

“Wow, long time no see! What a coincidence to meet you here. Is Arwen doing well?”

“I don’t know.”

“Hoho, I suppose so. It would be nice if Dray is doing well too.”

As the woman covered herself with a robe and casually conversed with Rageta, a chill ran down Kizane’s spine.

“W-who on earth is she?!”

Before he could recover from the shock, Rageta spoke up.

“You… Who are you?”

And then,

“Lady Rageta!”

“Daring to defy the prince!”

Shocked by the sight of a shadow knight pointing a sword at the prince, Kizane finally thought,

“Who on earth is she…”

Thump.

“Oh, hey! Someone has passed out here!”

“Call the guards… Kizane-sama?!”

“The prince has collapsed! Someone call for help!”

They became the center of attention.

***

“How did things end up like this…”

Keeping Olivia hidden as much as possible.

That’s our goal.

Eli, guarding us with sharp eyes.

Olivia, giving me an awkward smile while gently stroking my hand.

The black-haired woman, staring at only me with an expressionless face.

The blonde man, sitting next to that woman with an ice magic device on his head, trembling nervously.

“Eli? It’s alright. That lady…”

“Didn’t you see the mistress? That crazy woman dared to defy the prince!”

“Crazy woman? Just a lowly member of the Shadow Knights daring to defy the lord of the tower!”

“It’s noisy, Kizane.”

“Greetings, Lord Daetapju!!”

“It’s noisy.”

“… I’m sorry.”

It was clearly an unusual situation being staged…

With a sigh, I reached out and held the brave hand of Eli.

“My Lord, are you okay?”

She slightly pulled away and sat next to me with a slightly flushed face, as if asking when I got angry.

Finally, I was ready to have a conversation.

When I looked at Olivia, she awkwardly smiled and nodded her head.

“So, Raigetta. What brings you here?”

“I came because I was curious, but now I’m even more curious.”

“Are you curious about our child?”

“Child?”

At the mention of a specific word, the black woman.

Lord Daetapju Raigetta’s eyes turned towards Olivia.

“Olivia. Did we have another son?”

“Uh… Well, there was a little incident. But he’s not our biological son.”

“I see.”

Seeming to decide that there was no need to know more, Raigetta’s gaze turned back to me.

“You. What’s your name?”

“… “

Instead of answering, I remained silent, and the blonde Kizane standing next to me blushed and shouted.

“Kid! Lord Daetapju is asking you! Hurry up!”

“Kizane. You can leave.”

“Greetings, Lord Daetapju!”

“Leave.”

“… “

Thanks to that, I was chased away.

Once the person making noise left, the room became quiet.

“So. What’s your name?”

She asked again, but I had no intention of answering.

Thanks to my concept of being mute.

“Rageta-nim? The child lost their voice due to the shock of losing their parents in the past.”

It was Olivia who answered on my behalf.

Rageta’s eyes turned golden at Olivia’s response.

“Hmm? The throat seems to be functioning normally.”

No, it doesn’t show…?

“It must be a psychological issue. Anyway, the child’s name is Diam.”

“Diam… I remember. So, what is their identity?”

Even though it had only been a short time, Rageta didn’t gain much information during the conversation.

I didn’t mention anything about myself in the first place.

The only information she had was something like, “He’s Tris’ brother from the same village, the son of a blacksmith.”

Based on the actions I took at the orphanage and alongside Olivia.

That’s the end of this relationship, with a few pieces of thrown-in information.

Since the great and mighty Tower Lord is surely busy, there will be no future meetings.

Thinking so, I left the meeting behind and stepped outside the tower.

“So? What does the child think of Rageta-nim?”

Levian Rageta.

Long black hair that falls down to the waist.

A body and beauty that would not fall short even compared to Olivia.

Although it is hard to believe that she is over 1,000 years old.

It’s not great.

When she looks at me, her eyes are unfocused, as if I’m alive one moment and dead the next.

An oppressive and eccentric personality.

“She’s the worst mother compared to our Olivia Mamang.”

Thinking so, I hugged Olivia tightly.

“Oh my~”

“I think you like Mamang more than that strange woman.”

“Thank you, my child~ I like you more than Rageta-nim too~”

Because they couldn’t rest easily with the appearance of an outsider, they decided to take another day off.

They could buy the necessary materials.

Or go to the blacksmith and get simple weapons for personal use.

“I should also get some ingredients, right?”

While thinking about various things, they were preparing to go out.

“Does this look like a date to you~?”

“D-Date?!”

“Well, when a man and a woman hang out together in town, isn’t that a date?”

“D-Date…?!”

“Today, I’ll be counting on your escort, my dear~”

“Very well, Your Lordship!”

“How exciting…”

Smiling, they packed their bags while quietly chuckling.

Reaching out their hand, they opened the door.

“Hello.”

The moment they saw the familiar face, without even realizing it, thump! They slammed the door shut.

“What… why is she here…?”

Standing in front of the door, trembling, the two people who had finished preparing to go out stood behind me.

“I aga?”

“Your Lordship? Who is outside?”

Elli grabbed the doorknob and opened it, looking puzzled.

Thump!

She showed the same reaction as me.

Just a moment ago, Elli was smiling happily.

But her expression suddenly changed after seeing something black.

“I think, my lady, it would be good for you to take a day off and relax in the room instead of going out today.”

“What about our date?”

“D-D-Date… Oh no, what should I do…!”

“Huh?”

Confused, Olivia turned the doorknob.

“Lageta-nim? What brings you here?”

“Hello.”

From Noble mtl dot com

A cramped room for three people who already have a hard time living together.

Just when they thought they were starting to get used to it.

“To live in a pigsty like this… As expected of the Heaven’s Army. It’s no wonder the Grand Commander couldn’t stand being here.”

“Enough. Shut up or get out.”

“…I’ll shut up.”

When two more adults entered, there was simply no space without lying.

To the extent that Kizane and Elli were standing towards the door area.

“Lageta-nim? What brings you here today?”

“I’m curious about the Diem.”

“I already told you everything about the child yesterday.”

“That’s why I’m even more curious.”

“Sigh…”

Goodness.

Even Olivia, who is kind enough to be called the arrival of an angel, sighed.

Lavian Lageta.

An enemy.

“What does the child think? What does Aga think?”

Are you seriously asking me this?

What should I do?

No, what does she even want from me?

That I’m curious?

For what reason?

Is it because of “Open your mouth and spill everything”?

Even though I’ve never written anything in front of her?

No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.

There is absolutely no reason for her to be interested in me.

With a furrowed forehead, Lageta scratched his cheek and opened his mouth.

“If you fill my knowledge, I’ll grant your wish.”

A wish…

It’s really tempting.

“How can you fulfill that knowledge?!”

Her words were like a devil’s temptation, and I looked at her with my head down.

“How rude! How dare you!!”

Blonde Kizane shouted as she emerged, refusing the demands of the High Tower.

Crash!!

“Ah!”

It flew out at an incredible speed, piercing through the glass window…

As I stared blankly at the broken window, the cool autumn wind gently touched my cheek.

Feeling a sudden chill, Lagate flicked her finger with a cold touch.

Then, the shattered glass window returned to its pristine state, as if time had been reversed.

“Just stay by my side. I’ll learn on my own.”

To show that kind of refusal…?

Without realizing it, I nodded my head in response to the non-threatening coercion.

“Thank you, Diarm.”

The strongest magician had become a member of our party…
