【Chapter 113】

* * *

Meanwhile, it wasn’t only the citizens of the Frozen Kingdom who heard the news that the king had changed.

“I told you to bring down the kingdom, not to change the king.”

“Honestly, the king there was too stupid. I was trying to do well in my own way.”

In the forest heading toward the Kingdom of Doctia.

When Ariena, who had been waiting for him, clicked her tongue in displeasure, the boy smiled brightly and removed his hood.

It was Aebin.

“If you want to live, come alone. Why did you bring that fool?”

“Fool? Who? You don’t mean Uncle Tri, do you?”

At her sharp words, Tri, who had been quietly following behind the boy, flinched.

“Why? Uncle Tri is quick to judge situations though. Look how he ran away immediately when it seemed like he’d die serving Arjen faithfully.”

“That’s not being quick to judge situations, that’s being a traitor.”

“But he’s trying to survive. I like Uncle.”

Ariena sighed as she looked at the young boy who kept talking back.

She had to report this fact to His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Doctia, but she couldn’t predict what kind of reaction he would show.

“Just dump that man anywhere…”

“Let’s go for now.”

It was when Ariena spoke with a sigh.

“Traitor or whatever, isn’t it enough that we have a poison ability user and an ice ability user?”

A boy who had been looking at them pathetically from not far away frowned as if annoyed.

Though he was only about 15 years old, his height above average for his age and his cold atmosphere uncharacteristic of his years made the boy look much more mature.

“So if you’re going to abandon him, do it quickly.”

A boy with black hair and red eyes who looked exactly like Callipus.

“If you’re going to take him, it would be better to hurry up and take him.”

It was Sedric, the first son of the Croste Ducal Family.

After the king changed to Grace, everything in the Frozen Kingdom changed overall.

‘Hmm. It’s shiny enough, but do we really need gold decorations on top of that?’

The first thing that changed was the appearance of the royal palace.

Under the pretext of elevating royal authority, Arjen had ordered the ceilings painted with masterpieces to be decorated with gold and jewels.

But Grace was more interested in the masterpieces than the gold decorations.

The masterpieces, well-maintained for 500 years, showed everything in detail based on scripture content, from the beginning of the world to the birth of abilities and myths about the young god.

Thanks to this, the splendid royal palace changed to an atmosphere that was overall calm but also revealed the legitimacy of the Frozen Kingdom.

The removed gold decorations were soon used to improve the quality of life for the kingdom’s citizens, and the people who had liked Grace from the beginning came to revere their new king even more.

Another change.

Magic education, which had been considered the exclusive domain of nobles, was permitted for everyone.

The so-called Academy Project.

This change had a big impact on me.

‘By the way, since Miss Aisha is my first student, make sure to visit the royal palace once a month.’

‘My daughter is still young, so there’s no need for her to study…’

‘I want to do it!’

With Grace’s and my enthusiastic agreement, Callipus’s statement was miserably ignored, and I was finally able to do something called studying.

And lastly!

Actually, this isn’t really something that changed, but…

“I want to repay you for breaking the black magic that was cast on me. Starting with our Prince Lucas.”

Clink-

King Grace, who had set down his teacup, smiled faintly.

Just like this, His Majesty the King acknowledged the merits of the Croste Ducal Family and decided to grant us one wish each!

“Th-that is, I…”

Lucas’s earlobes gradually turned red as he couldn’t continue his words. Watching him frustratedly, I whispered.

“Hurry up and say it, brother.”

“B-but… it’s em-embarrassing…”

“It’s okay. He’ll grant anything.”

You don’t need to be embarrassed!

When I urged him again, Lucas’s hesitant gaze turned somewhere.

It was the strawberry cake placed on the tea table.

“Should I ask for more strawberry cake?”

Grace, who noticed the young prince’s gaze, asked, but.

“N-no… that’s not it…”

Lucas hesitated again, then resolutely rummaged through his pants pocket.

And as if he had prepared for this moment, he fumbled around and pulled something out.

It was a piece of paper cut from a newspaper article.

“…The central region has warm weather, so peach desserts are famous… they say…”

“Bring peaches first. A whole box.”

Grace immediately whispered to a servant.

However, Lucas, who didn’t hear that, still couldn’t look at Grace and held out the paper.

“A-among them, the delicacy is… pe-peach crepes…”

“Tell them to prepare peach crepes right away too.”

“Yes, understood.”

His Majesty the King, who had given orders quickly and efficiently, looked at my brother again and smiled faintly.

“Prince Lucas. I said I’d grant your wish, but would just peach crepes be enough?”

Lucas, who had been hesitating, looked at me.

That’s right. What my brother really wanted was actually something else.

‘Fighting!’

When I clenched my cute little fist and cheered him on, Lucas, encouraged by my support, nodded as if he had made up his mind.

“Actually, the north is cold and barren, so strawberries are the only fruit we can make desserts with.”

“How unfortunate.”

“So my wish is… for all kinds of fruits to grow in our ducal palace, so we can taste various desserts!”

…He finally said it.

When Lucas, who had been nervous about saying such things in front of His Majesty the King, opened his tightly closed eyes-

“Then I’ll consult with Duke Callipus and try to build a glass greenhouse at the ducal palace. If we place magic stones inside, it will maintain warm temperature year-round and fruit trees will grow.”

His Majesty the King, with a benevolent smile, personally explained the detailed plan.

Lucas’s lips curved up in excitement.

Clink-

Grace, who drank his tea again and set down the cup, this time asked me a question.

“Now then, Prince Lucas’s wish has been acknowledged. Next, Miss Aisha. What do you want as your wish?”

“Money!”

“Alright. I’ll send a satisfactory amount to the ducal palace.”

“Yes!”

At the conversation that continued without a breath, Lucas’s and Callipus’s eyes narrowed simultaneously.

“Are you really 5 years old?”

Callipus’s voice seemed to contain criticism for being too materialistic.

“Father. Just because someone’s a child doesn’t mean their wish has to be cute and innocent.”

Isn’t this the difference between a first-time child and a second-time child?

Grace, who had been chuckling, finally asked father.

“Then Callipus, what do you want?”

“Just hand over our daughter. Does it make sense for me to hold the child throughout the entire tea time?”

Then father, who had been glaring at us with his arms crossed the whole time, extended his hand.

Actually, Grace had always carried me around at the first banquet, and whenever we had scheduled meetings afterward.

So much so that the nobles even asked if they had adopted me.

Today too, they invited me for tea time and wouldn’t let me go, so our father was thoroughly angry.

“Sorry, but I think I can grant that wish in about an hour.”

But Grace hugged me even tighter and then whisked me away completely.

At this, Callipus automatically showed a bewildered reaction.

“Excuse me?”

“The Masamo gathering will be held soon. Miss Aisha is also a member of our group.”

That’s right.

Today was more important than tea time—it was the day of my first Masamo regular meeting.

Grace stood up as if the time had come, and I waved my hands vigorously at Father from her arms.

“Bye bye, Father. Bye bye, Brother too.”

“If you go, Father will be upset. Father will really be upset.”

Regardless, I waved my hands vigorously at the sulking Callipus with a bright smile until the door closed.

There’s a saying that when it rains, the ground becomes even firmer.

“See you later, Father~.”

Callipus, who had been frowning at my greeting, finally gave in and chuckled while waving his hand back.

Peace had arrived.

This place where we live must have also become firmly solid thanks to all the rain.

* * *

A few months later.

“I’m back-!”

As I shouted loudly after just getting off the portal, Callipus, who had come out to greet me in advance, stretched out both arms.

“Did you have a good lesson today too?”

“Father-!”

I ran over and hugged him, then told him about what happened today.

“Grace Majesty taught me the basics of magic. Magic has formulas and mana, where mana is the energy that handles magic and formulas are like operational means that can materialize magic, she said to think of it like that, and when I said ‘I have a question!’ there, the kid next to me…”

“That sounds boring.”

“No, it was fun though?”

“Our daughter has quite unique tastes.”

For several months, the Croste Duke’s Household was peaceful without any incidents.

Callipus guarded the Ice Wall as always and occasionally went on monster subjugation missions.

Lucas learned increasingly powerful ability utilization methods and became accustomed to the noble etiquette he had been clumsy with.

Although still inexperienced in training other monsters, the Guide was also getting along well with Grandma Bibi.

However…

“Aisha.”

That’s when it happened.

“Aisha. Aisha.”

Someone grabbed the hem of my skirt while I was clinging to Father.

“Huh?”

When I looked down, Kail was there with duck lips pouted, his eyebrows sharply raised in a displeased expression.

“Aisha. Why don’t you greet me? Why don’t you look at me? I want to smell Aisha’s scent too.”

If there was one problem in the peaceful Ducal Palace.

“Give me Aisha.”

It was that puberty had come to Kail.
