500 Years as Just an Extra,

 

The Original Story Still Won’t Begin

 

Episode 129

 

It had been roughly a month since I first met Kalior.

 

Despite purifying all the demonic energy that had invaded the Second Prince’s Palace and even giving him an elixir, Kalior still seemed to have not recovered his health.

 

No matter how much of a cure-all the elixir was, it wasn’t something that could instantly transform his body into perfect health on the spot.

 

I didn’t know how long he had suffered from the curse, but it would take quite some time for his weakened body to return to normal.

 

At least it was fortunate that barely any demonic energy had accumulated in his body. If his mana core had been damaged, he might have lived his entire life suffering from illness.

 

‘…Then what about in the original work?’

 

Until Ailesia came to find him, there was no one to help Kalior. The First Imperial Consort had only intervened enough to barely keep him alive.

 

‘How was Kalior able to become an Aura Master and meet Elenora after 10 years?’

 

No matter how outstanding his talent, becoming an Aura Master wasn’t a level that could be achieved just by swinging a sword diligently alone.

 

Perhaps there was someone secretly helping him, but because I interfered, something might have changed again.

 

“Our prince, is there anything you want to eat?”

 

“Something I want to eat…?”

 

“Tell me anything. I’ll prepare it for you no matter what it takes.”

 

“That’s right! Teacher is good at cooking too!”

 

Enough about the hidden story of the original work. Right now, taking care of Kalior in front of me was the priority.

 

How could it make sense that despite being 3 years older than Elenora, he was barely half a span taller than her?

 

It only didn’t show because his clothes covered it, but his body was thin enough that his bones were slightly visible. The weight I felt in both arms was almost similar.

 

‘While I have him with me, I should feed him well and let him play to his heart’s content. I should also check on his body.’

 

While Elenora and Kalior chattered non-stop, Ailesia deliberately took a roundabout route through the main building and arrived in front of Termion’s office.

 

“Now then, little cuties. You have to walk on your own when going in, okay?”

 

Ailesia set down the two children who had been in her arms onto the floor.

 

“Um…”

 

Kalior hesitated as he looked up at Ailesia who had straightened up.

 

He wanted to say something, but couldn’t think of what words to use.

 

Ailesia was the first adult to treat Kalior with such warmth.

 

His mother, the Empress, had passed away when Kalior had just been weaned, so even her face was hazy in his memory. Even the Empress Dowager, who had cherished Kalior, had been bedridden since his birth and couldn’t hold him in her arms even once until the day she died.

 

“Your Highness.”

 

“Yes?”

 

Ailesia crouched down to match Kalior’s eye level and asked with a bright smile.

 

“Shall we hold hands and go in together?”

 

“…Yes.”

 

“Teacher, Elly too! Elly too!”

 

“Oh my, you little thing. Do you like Teacher that much?”

 

“The most in the world!”

 

Just as Ailesia, holding both children’s hands in each of hers, was about to stand up, the office door opened.

 

“If Teacher is the best in the world, then what about Uncle?”

 

When Termion came out and asked in a deliberately pointed voice, Elenora clung to his leg with her remaining arm, still holding tightly to Ailesia’s hand.

 

“Uncle is the best among men! Teacher is a woman!”

 

“Then what about Grandmother?”

 

“Grandmother isn’t a man or woman, she’s Grandmother! Are you stupid, Uncle?”

 

“She just won’t let me win a single argument.”

 

“Ehehe.”

 

Termion gently pressed and ruffled Elenora’s head before opening the door wide. Several people were already gathered and waiting inside the office.

 

“Woah…”

 

Iolene wearing a luxurious robe over her dress, Hilda dressed neatly in a blouse and skirt, and Rebecca in armor with a large greatsword strapped to her back as if ready to rush to the battlefield at any moment.

 

Kalior’s eyes widened at the sight of the three people who had absolutely nothing in common. Rebecca in particular caught his attention.

 

“Welcome, Your Highness the Prince.”

 

“Knight Rebecca Senberg greets Your Highness the Prince.”

 

Hilda gracefully performed a curtsy, and Rebecca placed her right hand on her left chest and bowed her head with precision.

 

“Sir Senberg, that thing.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“That thing, can you really swing it?”

 

Kalior pointed at the greatsword strapped to Rebecca’s back with his finger, his eyes sparkling.

 

Whenever Elenora visited the Second Prince’s Palace with Iolene, she had met Rebecca, but back then she was always in uniform with only a longsword equipped.

 

Seeing the greatsword that was much taller than himself for the first time, Kalior swallowed nervously from the unnecessary tension.

 

“If I showed you here, Grand Duke would scold me, so I’ll show you when we get to the castle.”

 

“Really?”

 

“If you wish, you can even try swinging it yourself.”

 

“Woooah…”

 

She wondered if those small hands could even properly grip the handle, but whatever.

 

Rebecca didn’t want to ruin this young prince’s expectations with realistic remarks.

 

“But when are we going to the Grand Duke’s Castle? Isn’t it very far from here?”

 

“It is very far. Normally you’d have to take carriages, use gates, and travel for over a week to arrive. But.”

 

Ailesia, who had already taken out her staff from subspace, smiled and looked around.

 

“This time there are many people, so I’ll have to change the method a bit.”

 

“Is there some problem?”

 

For Termion, who had experienced Ailesia’s spatial transfer magic the most, this was somewhat incomprehensible.

 

She had moved to the advance base in the Gardbale Mountains in one go. Even if there were more people, couldn’t they just go in groups?

 

[The Second Prince’s body is too weak, he might go into shock. His mana core is unstable.]

 

Simply put, he was like a very thin glass cup. If he received strong magical interference from outside, he could crack or shatter completely.

 

‘Good thing I scanned him beforehand just in case.’

 

If she had made a mistake, Kalior might have collapsed as soon as they arrived at the Grand Duke’s Castle. Ailesia secretly sighed and concentrated magical power into her staff.

 

“Rebecca, take care of His Highness. You’ll need some aura operation.”

 

“Understood.”

 

Rebecca immediately approached Kalior, knelt on one knee, and asked in a respectful voice.

 

“Your Highness the Prince. May I briefly touch your body?”

 

“Huh? Uh, yes.”

 

“Excuse me.”

 

She carefully lifted Kalior with both arms. One arm supported his legs while the other completely wrapped around his body, her hand slightly covering his face.

 

“Huh?”

 

“Are you uncomfortable?”

 

“No…”

 

Unlike the hard texture of armor, Rebecca’s arms wrapping around his body felt warm and reassuring.

 

Moreover, unlike when Ailesia had held him, his eye level was much higher, making the office scenery feel refreshingly new.

 

“Grand Duchess Dowager, please look after Elly and Hilda for a moment.”

 

“Is this different from the Spatial Transfer Magic you used before?”

 

“It’s a much more stable method, but the magical power fluctuations might be a bit intense when it activates.”

 

Iolene nodded and gestured to Hilda as she stepped slightly forward.

 

“Hilda, come behind me with Elly.”

 

“Yes, Grand Duchess Dowager. Grand Duchess, please stay close to my side.”

 

There was no need to worry about Termion. He was sturdy enough to have never experienced shock even once within the Gardbale Mountains.

 

“I’m opening it now.”

 

Ailesia spun her staff once, then drew it vertically down through midair.

 

Following the staff’s trajectory, a golden line appeared and gradually thickened as the center slowly began to split open.

 

Rumble rumble rumble-

 

After a faint vibration swept through the office, a massive oval-shaped rift revealed itself before Ailesia.

 

“My goodness.”

 

Rebecca, who had her back turned, confirmed the scenery beyond the rift and let out an exclamation. However, even that was minimal compared to Iolene’s reaction.

 

“T-Teacher?”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Don’t tell me you just… forcibly connected the Grand Duke’s Castle office with this place?”

 

“That’s right. This way, there’s no shock from Spatial Transfer Magic. Though it does consume an absurd amount of magical power.”

 

Iolene simply swallowed hard with a dizzying look in her eyes.

 

She had been harboring persistent doubts about Ailesia’s Spatial Transfer Magic all along.

 

‘So that’s why movement was only possible to places she had directly visited…!’

 

This magic far exceeded the level of Dimension Pass.

 

Connecting two different spaces wasn’t something possible just by having abundant magical power.

 

It was an act that twisted the laws of this world to some extent—truly reaching the ultimate pinnacle of magic.

 

“Come now, cross over slowly one person at a time. It’s not dangerous, so don’t be afraid.”

 

At the sight of Ailesia stepping aside slightly, Iolene’s gaze settled a bit more calmly.

 

‘As expected, this person is…’

 

Even as the misunderstanding deepened, Ailesia simply smiled brightly beside the portal like a guide.
