A stay at the Duke of Magenta's house marks the end of the day. Although it will still take Yuffi some time to officially announce that he will be adopted, we must also go back and prepare ourselves for that.

In fact, this will be the last day Yuffi will visit the House of the Duke of Magenta as his "daughter”. Raini was in the carriage to pick me up, and he greeted me with a smile.

With me and Raini watching like that, I was facing my family like Uffi would spare a breakup. Lord Grants has his usual faceless expression and Mrs. Nerschel remains with a gentle smile.

And Kaind-kun. After all, I never exchanged words. His expression is as quiet as it sounds.

"... there are only a few things that can be done in a relationship between parents and children. Encourage me, Uffi."

"Yes. How is your father? I'll run right up to you and show you."

"Phew..."

The goodbye between Yufi and Lord Grants was light by the time it was clear. Not as a father and daughter, but as the next queen and duke, I'm going to face it from now on.

It's a new relationship for the two of us, maybe it's something desirable. A smile floating around each other seemed to tell the story of it.

"... Ufi"

"Mother."

Mrs. Nerschel, who entered quietly, hugs Yufi. on his forehead, and kiss his cheek to gently release Uffi.

There were no words, and I know that the two of them exchanged words more than once during their stay alone. That's why I think it's after we've spoken to each other so much that we don't need words anymore.

And......

"... Caind"

Yufi turns back to Kaindo-kun. Kaindo-kun also returns his gaze to Ufi in a calm manner.

We have nothing to say to each other, we remain faceless. I could hear Raini swallowing spit watching such a tense scene. I hold my fist naturally, too.

"... Sister, I will succeed my father"

"Yep."

"Not right away. I don't know when. Still, one day I'll stick my chest out and tell him. So..."

That's all Caindo-kun said. He strained his chest. The drawn-knot lips are slightly trembling and the gaze is caught staring at them because they are desperately indulging in falling. Words that were unnaturally interrupted did not go on, but still stared at Yufi.

Yufi breaks his expression after taking Caindo-kun's word for it. I smile and gently stroke Caindo-kun's cheek.

"It's up to you."

"... Yes, sister"

Away from Kaindo-kun, who has leaned down, Yufi turns her back and walks toward us. I could see Mrs. Nerschel bowing her head in support of Kaindo-kun on that back.

The Duke of Magenta is just staring at Uffi's back as he walks in grandeur.

"Let's go, Lady Anis, Raini"

"... yeah"

"Yes, let's go"

We boarded the carriage and headed out of the palace.

Through the window, three of the Duke of Magenta's family were seen dropping off until our carriage was out of sight.

Uffi never looked back.

That day, the Kingdom of Palletia takes a turning point.

This is what is told in later history. He said it was the day when the old days came to an end and the dawn of a new era.

During the royal sight of the castle. There were gathered the nobles in charge of the politics of the Kingdom of Palletia.

Needless to say, there are also figures of the Duke of Magenta, the right-hand man of His Majesty, and the directors of the Ministry of Magic. Today, an important announcement from Orphans says he will disclose the information only to the Heavy Towns in view of its contents and decide on future policies.

There are many nobles who look nervous, but it is the executive officers who serve in the Ministry of Magic who are not pale among them. Because they were waiting for the day as if they didn't care.

There is one agenda they predict. That was associated with rumors that Princess Anisphere, who was investigating the Spirit Contract with her royal life, had fulfilled her visit with the Spirit Contractor. I was wondering if it was a report on the findings of the Spirit Contract.

In fact, since then, Anisphere has not made any significant moves while remaining stuck in the outhouse. For a Magic Ministry executive whose relationship with Anisphere is less fragrant than her former one, her movements are hard to keep an eye on.

With each thought, His Majesty Orphanth is informed of his admission. Next to it is Queen Silphine, and the Princess Anisphere and the Duke of Uphilia are the ones who walk about one step back.

It was also a natural sight to have Uphilia next to the earliest anisphere. Orphanth and Silphine sit on the throne, taking their position so that Anisphere and Uphilia refrain from doing so between their seats.

"My lords, you've gathered well. Take it easy first. I have an important announcement to make today. Sooner or later it will be published to the whole country, but think of it as a publication for the previous phase."

With so many people breathing in tension, Orphans moves his gaze to see the faces on the spot before continuing.

"I wonder if it's new to my ears that Yu ordered Anisphere to unravel the Spirit Covenant as a royal fate the other day. I just wanted to let you know that I've set up a place like this because of the results of that investigation."

Again, and the whining leaks. Orphans restores silence by silencing the place where he was born.

"Ask Anisphere and her assistant, Uphilia, for more information… there are some things I need to tell you before I do. I really want you to listen. During this investigation of the Spirit Contract, Uphilia fulfilled the Spirit Contract"

A twist spreads to the words of Orphans, where the gaze of the field gathers to Uphilia, where it refrains next to Orphans.

Spirit contractors have important meaning in this country. It was therefore a surprise. That talented woman and the famous Miss Uphilia. This was undoubtedly good news. Uphilia, with her gaze gathered, shows herself in awe.

"Be quiet! … In this survey, great progress could be made in clarifying the Spirit Contract. The work of Annisphere, Uphilia, who accomplished this feat, is immense. So the rest of you have to get this report and tell everyone that you've made a big decision."

Everyone gets quiet as if to listen to Orphans. The gaze that was gathering to Uphilia returns to Orphans again.

I made sure my gaze returned to me, and Orphans coughed once before continuing.

"The details of the Spirit Contract will be explained later by Anisphere and Uphilia, who were involved in the investigation. To conclude earlier, Anisphere was not granted a spiritual covenant. There are numerous who question the qualities of the king of Anisphere more than before, and it can be said that the investigation of this spiritual covenant was also a test to question Anisphere's qualities as royalty... but the results were not fragrant"

Anisphere lays her eyes down to match Orphans' words. However, it does not show a faint appearance, but only sits quietly.

"But it is only with the results of the Anispheric investigation that we are very pleased to be welcomed into the country by a new spiritual contractor named Uphilia. Therefore, the rest was to let Uphilia take the reward.... Uphilia, forward!

Orphans calls me, and Uphilia goes forward to offer a respectful thank you.

One nod, then Orphans sends his gaze to look over the nobles, then tells them softly.

"The rest would like to greatly appreciate this achievement and tell everyone that we welcome Uphilia as our adopted son."

shock. Exactly to show the face-to-face reaction of this occasion, that word would suit.

Welcome to the royal family for adoption. There was no one here who could not imagine what that meant.

"Oh no... Your Majesty, give Miss Uphilia the right to inherit the throne!?"

"Whatever. Uphilia has also been educated as the next queen by the former. And in this one case, I showed him the qualities. Let's just say it's too much to welcome you to the royal family. Does anyone have a problem with that?

"I don't disagree, but I'd like you to forgive me for a word. Sire."

It was Grants who advanced. Grants stares straight at Orphans as he gathers the gaze of the nobles all together while the twist does not subside.

"Grants. Good, tell me."

"I am honored to have a high regard for the achievements of Uphilia in this case. But as it is, some will have some concerns about our relationship with the royal family. So let me declare it again. I hereby declare that Uphilia and I are disconnected from the family. than this, the princess and the duke, let me relate in that position."

Grants' declaration once again leads to a widening outcome. That said, if Uphilia is welcomed as an adopted son by the royal family, her relationship with the Duke of Magenta will cease. And I made it clear that I was only going to treat you as someone else.

It had no intention of subjecting the royal family to the Duke of Magenta, nor had it declared that the Duke of Magenta would be involved in the royal power.

"I praise you for guiding and raising me so far. … His Excellency the Duke of Magenta"

Not calling him Father, Uphilia called Grants Duke. No colour of agitation was seen there, and this could be seen as an agreement being reached between the royal family and the Duke of Magenta.

The nobles realize that twitching and incredible events are real. And it gradually accelerated expectations of Uphilia. The advent of a new heir to the throne that embodied the feat of the first king even seemed like an act of legend.

"It's Grants. My daughter is a treasure of my country. I want that loyalty to remain the same for the rest of my life and for this country."

"Ha."

"And it's Uphilia. Give your name a new name. In the future, I will name myself Uphilia Fez Palettia. As a member of the royal family, I expect to bring prosperity to this country."

"Yes, I swear I will not be ashamed of the honor I have bestowed upon myself.... Father-in-law."

And Uphilia, given a new name, stretcheth her breasts, and receiveth the name.

The sound of applause begins to emerge, and it spreads one after the other and grows louder.

Anisphere walks over beside Uphilia as the applause of blessings echoes.

"Congratulations, Uffi"

"Yes, thank you, Master Anis"

"You don't need any more dating, do you?

"... Yes, Anis"

Uffi smiled like a broken smile, and the two new sisters joined hands.

Phew, I'm nervous. I knew my shoulders would get too tight to shake a princess in an official setting.

Well, the venue is excited to announce the adoption of Uphilia as well. Especially since the Magic Ministry executives feel welcome from the bottom of their minds. I want to ask him if he didn't like me being king when I couldn't use that much magic. No, I guess I didn't like it.

But if I told you about the spiritual contract, you wouldn't have had this pleasure, would you? That made me feel a little pathetic. Still, it's my job to make the announcement.

"Then it's anise. Report on the findings of the Spirit Contract."

"Yes, Father"

Wow, I'm here. Deep breaths, deep breaths. I need to be careful here if I think about the noise that's going to happen.

I can see the color of sympathy in the gaze that can be directed at me as I advance again. Well, that's right. If Yufi were given the right to inherit the throne, I would be king. The buds would be crushed. But you're all hail because you don't want to be king!

"Let me now report my findings about the Spirit Contract. This time, the investigation of the Spirit Contract was carried out in anticipation of a clarification from the point of view of magic. As a result, we learned a number of facts."

Then I explained the identity of the Great Spirit who contracts with the Spirit Contractor. And pale talk about its relationship and how it happened, etc. A man has a spirit in his soul. Exercise magic by working on the spirits around you by the resonance of their inner souls.

A spiritual covenant is a feat accomplished by exchanging and spiritualizing the souls of the inner spirits with those of men, which can be called half bodies.

"This is the truth of the Spirit covenant."

So I watched the nobles react. … silent, stunned, stunned. That's just the right reaction.

Until earlier, there was no festivities when Uffi was granted the right to inherit the throne. The air just spreads like confusion.

"So... Miss Uphilia... no, does that mean Princess Uphilia has become a spirit?

"It uses man's flesh as a vessel, but his soul has already been replaced with the Spirit. It is Uffi's rare talent that has little effect on spiritualization, but it is still inevitable that the changes started to affect personality. Therefore, let me complain that it is dangerous for me to want a spiritual contract cheaply. Again, I don't think I'm going to tell you about the danger..."

"Do you really say that is the truth!? Isn't a spiritual covenant a sacred act of covenant with the Spirit!?"

"When I say sacred, I do not deny that it is sacred. Because you are reborn into the Great Spirit, which is close to God at all costs. So I let you set up these places through your father. Don't want a spiritual covenant cheaply, to give you that warning."

"The Great Spirit is the end of the habit of spiritual contractors losing their flesh... you say it's also true? Okay, then! Are you saying that the Great Spirit was originally a person!?"

"This is what we got testimony from our nation's spiritual contractors. It's very credible, and most importantly, it includes the facts that Uffi felt, so let me tell you that it's not a lie."

The nobleman, who was asking roughly, became silent as if he had subsided. Everyone looks at each other and peeks at each other's complexions.

"... many will wonder why, knowing this fact, they welcomed Uphilia to the royal family. But this was also Uphilia's strong hope."

Speak up so your father can get the attention of the place. Uffi moves forward to take his place.

"Everything Annis says is true. I embodied it. Let me testify. That's why I was driven by the desire to use this as an opportunity to change this country. This country has long walked with the Spirit as a friend. I have appreciated its existence and have inherited with pride the benefits it bestows. But I began to think I would have to change my mind with the knowledge of Ennis' magic.

Spirit covenant, it is indeed a feat that built this country. But this turns people into spirits. There is no doubt that the Spirit is a great being who receives and fulfils our prayers. But that's the devotion that someone who received people's prayers and wishes became the receptacle for their wishes. Someone has to be prepared. Even if you abandon being a person. That would be another way of being in one country. But... "

Yufi stands next to me. And take my hand and show it in a connection.

"Anis has shown us another way. Do not abandon being a person, know how the Spirit is, and shape it as a human skill. Let's just say that's what magic has achieved. You can't want as much power as a spiritual covenant. But not too much can be done to benefit all of the people. Don't rely on the Spirit, people stay people, live like people. I'd like to ask you again if that's the way the country is."

It is no mistake to profess the Spirit and develop the country with the benefit of magic given by the Spirit. But don't forget the fact that the closer you get to the Spirit, the farther you get from being a person.

Magic can use the resources created by the Spirit to spread them among nobles and civilians alike. And you can walk like a person, Yuffi says. But let's not forget that it can deny the values and history we have cultivated.

"Which country is right? I think each of those answers is different. But I want to say it out loud. Neither the path of worshipping the Spirit nor the path of cultivating magic is ever in conflict. I think we can take each other's hands, take each other's good spots, and walk into the future."

Pull the hand that Ufi was connecting to and turn to my hips. My heart bounces at a distance that approached me at once. Hey, hey! You didn't tell me this was a meeting!?

When I turned my gaze on the protest to Uffi, I looked at him like he had succeeded in a prank, then I could see Uffi squeezing his expression and turning his gaze back to the nobles.

"Few people in this country can measure the value of anise correctly right now. Therefore, I want to inherit a great history. I want to get my hands on the new winds that are about to be born in this country right now. I believe that's the future that will make this country thrive."

Uffi declared that the nobles present here would be challenged.

The truth of the spiritual covenant was elaborated, and Yufi, who became the spiritual covenant, affirmed his magic. This fact is significant.

Magic is not repellent to the Spirit. Instead, it was declared that we could move forward hand in hand. The shock seemed to have been taken by everyone because they knew the truth and didn't take a pull.

"And that the Spirit has the magic he prefers, as Annis put it. That is what makes the Spirit aptitude. Ladies and gentlemen, will you remember this story? Naturally, I have the magic of that preference, too, that I have spiritualized. I can stretch my chest to say that the holder of that magic deserves to be called the turn of my soul. The one with that magic, Anisphere Wynn Palettia, is the only one in the world I can admit to."

It was with such a beautiful grin that Yufi proclaimed as she held me with one hand.

I tried my best not to break my expression! The act, later called the "de facto declaration of marriage," came to an end.

After that, it was already a lot of noise. Whatever it is, it's not certain that Uffi will still be king. For once, I'm the number one successor.

Now that we know the truth about the Spirit Contractor, should we really welcome the Spirit Contractor to the throne? If a person lived like a person, it began to come out with a few voices saying that maybe that's what should make me king.

There are certainly voices that say that it is because it is a tradition that we have inherited. It's hard to change the traditions and beliefs you've inherited. However, there is no indication that some deny that you will conveniently interpret the fact.

It was Father's voice that summed up the place to dispute.

"I know exactly what everyone thinks. The rest of it bothered my head, this is not a rush to conclusions. Therefore, a period shall be set aside. In the meantime, Anisphere and Uphilia should think of ways to guide the country in their own way! As a result, ask the nation which one to say as king! Anyone who disagrees, move on!

No one moves forward to Father's proclamation. Nobody moves forward with this air on boulders......

If that's what you think, there's someone going in and out in front of us, and we circled our eyes. It was Lord Grants who moved forward.

"Grants?"

"I'm not going to say anything different. I also believe that we should follow His Majesty's heart as he pleases. However, I consider Princess Anisphere unfavourable under the present conditions even when comparing the measures of each other. Anyway, there is still no basement in this country that accepts Princess Anisphere's innovative ideas. Therefore, I would like to advance, and I would like permission for Princess Anisphere to wave that extraction under me."

"What?"

What!? What do you mean, Lord Grants!?

"There have always been many voices in the Knights who wanted Princess Anisphere's inventions to be deployed. I would like to advance that it is the Knights who defend our country that Princess Anisphere's inventions are the easiest to feel the benefits and can remain a feat. Therefore, I think it would be a better choice for Princess Anisphere to wield an extraction under me because of the propaganda of the magic props. There are a lot of civilians in the Knights."

"... Duke of Magenta, who you are..."

For a moment, Yuffi's lips seemed to be drawn. There seemed to be a mix of resentment in the voices that came out of my mouth.

... Is that it? This, Lord Grants, is totally coming to take me in, isn't it?!? Aah!?

"What do you say, Princess Anisphere?

"Oh, no. Well, I'm very honored..."

"Or did Princess Anisphere have any other handouts to spread magic?

…………

... None. You know how thin the aristocratic connection is to me!? Lord Grants!? No, that's why I know it's a help ship!?

"Princess Uphilia has accomplished her spiritual covenant, and she has excellent talent in magic. If so, shouldn't you wave that arm in the Ministry of Magic? If your specialty is different, each will have a different place to be active. I'm foolish that the Ministry of Magic has to rethink its policy after learning the truth about the Spirit Contract, too?

"Well, that's... you're right..."

"Then I wonder if that's the historic job of the Ministry of Magic to prepare the ground for Princess Uphilia to be active?

Lord Grants asks the Magic Ministry's executive officer. The Ministry of Magic is also in trouble, because all of a sudden the truth about the spiritual covenant was revealed when he said that he was still in the process of restructuring.

Or what? Could it be Lord Grants, you're sending Yuffi to the Ministry of Magic, right? I don't care what you think of this, do I?!? You're trying to surround me with your own faction on top of that!? You're lying!?

"... that's why you say you'll be in the back shield of the anisphere? It's Grants."

"Yes, I am proud to say that I am not the only one in this country who can create an environment in which Princess Anisphere's worth can be correctly harnessed"

"... right. Shaking each other's power in a better way is especially important. Grants would be best suited to oversee the plan we've been hearing from Anisphere for a long time."

"The development of traffic through flying demonic props, the spread of demonic props to the Knights, and even the unveiling of demonic props that help people everywhere to live. Grants, who oversees the Knights' extraction as its director, deserves it..."

My mother, who has been silent until now, whines with her fingers on her temples. Until Father, his eyes are turned away like a reality escape. I think it makes sense...

Here, and look at Uffi lying next to him. Its eyes are colored by a burning passion, looking to Lord Grants. The lips that portray the shape of a grin are occasionally drawn as if they recall.

As Lord Grants declared, as someone else in red with Uffi, I think he intends to behave only in the position of princess and duke.

So I have no hesitation in drawing me into my own camp. Even worse was the flow that created to send Yuffi to the Ministry of Magic. Seems like the best hand to me, too, but too unforgiving.

"Nothing was meant to keep you two apart. For a while, we'll be waving each other's own extraction at the Royal Castle. It would seem problematic for the two of us to live in the outhouse as it is. I think Princess Anisphere may be asked to leave the castle and wave the extraction..."

"... I think it's a great idea. Lord Grants."

So remember. Yufi squeaks as she gives out an aura that is likely to hear such a sub audio.

In the end, I have no reason to disagree, nor can the nobles around me give any reason to disagree, even if they cannot say yes. Lord Grants was entrusted with the role of my supervisor, and I decided to work under Lord Grants to disseminate the invention of magic.

... How did this happen!?
