“…Then what is it that you want?”
Serenthia smiled brightly and waved her hand.
“Please give me some money.”
“Ah, as a consulting fee? I can give you as much as you’d like….”
“Normally, one would say that, right?”
His eyes filled with confusion.
But Serenthia….
“For talent donation, I’ll give talent donation in return.”
“…?”
“Lord Valen, you’re the Archmage Tower’s greatest mage, right? The Tower Master.”
“Yes, that’s correct, but….”
“Then, there’s something I’d like to ask of you.”
“A request…?”
Serenthia leaned close to his ear and whispered softly. Then Valen’s eyes narrowed, filled with deep curiosity.
“…Oh, that sounds interesting.”
***
Serenthia immediately contacted Shein.
[Gather people. Tomorrow at lunch, I’ll prove that the ‘blueprints’ can be realized right there at the military compound.]
It was shameless confidence, but Shein wasn’t flustered even after reading that letter.
He just smirked. Because Shein had just finished talking with his close friend Max through a crystal orb.
“Shein, don’t worry. Serenthia, that girl is weak and pitiful. So go ahead and toy with her however you want.”
After ending the video call with Max, Deputy Tower Master Shein’s eyes narrowed.
Max Rosemary.
Serenthia Rosemary’s older brother, a promising architect trusted by everyone.
‘He said I should crush Serenthia’s spirit, didn’t he?’
According to Max, Serenthia was a fragile and weak little girl.
The calculation that he could crush the Grand Duchess’s spirit and do as he pleased was fueling Shein’s lust for power.
Moreover….
‘Max has never been wrong when he told me what to do.’
Max was someone who could read people properly and knew how to use them well.
Sometimes he treated him like a dog, but still.
‘If that Max described Serenthia as weak….’
The fact that Serenthia was currently the Grand Duchess was a bit unsettling, but Shein still chuckled.
***
A day passed, and the time to prove the blueprints approached.
Serenthia arrived in front of the military compound as promised with Shein.
She was accompanied by Raphael Kairozen and Tein on either side.
Even Deputy Tower Master Shein was there, everyone gathered in one place. The soldiers who had just finished lunch also gathered around in small groups.
After gathering everyone like this, Serenthia looked around once and waved her hands gently.
“I think everyone knows that I’m in charge of designing this military barracks, so could everyone look here? I want to show you something interesting.”
She pulled out a small sketchbook from her pocket. Then she sketched the blueprints on the spot while whispering.
“If you look here, light gradually flows down from above. When you enter this tower, everyone can receive light from the sky and the windows in the walls.”
Deputy Tower Master Shein, who had been staring at her intently, smirked mockingly.
“Your Highness, I don’t understand exactly what you mean by everyone being able to receive light. There are definitely limitations to expressing this with blueprints alone.”
Looking at the people who were puzzled about what this meant, Serenthia said emphatically.
“So now I’m going to show you.”
“Are you planning to build a building right here? Even if you made a model, the time would….”
Serenthia looked at Shein and smiled warmly. Then she spoke with her honest feelings.
“Shut your mouth.”
“…?”
Shein blinked his eyes. He seemed to be trying to figure out what he had just heard.
Before he could come to his senses, Serenthia smiled annoyingly as if she hadn’t said anything.
“Now, let me show you. Very kindly!”
Serenthia made a clicking sound with her mouth. Then a suspicious figure with his face wrapped in cloth appeared beside her.
The suspicious figure wearing a pointed hat had a small name tag pinned to his chest. It read [Assistant]….
This was already strange, but that wasn’t all. The figure bowed his head deeply and hunched his body while bowing excessively.
At this mysteriously theatrical attitude, Raphael pointed out indifferently.
“Why has that fellow become a slave?”
“He’s not an assistant but a slave.”
“What?”
“Oh, no. He’s not a slave but an assistant.”
“So why.”
“Who knows.”
The suspicious figure’s voice seemed distorted. Shein was about to snort and speak….
“Hmph….”
…but quickly shut up after glancing at Raphael.
Watching his quick change of attitude, Serenthia smiled brightly and said.
“Now, take a look here. …Not just Shein, but the passing soldiers can watch too.”
At Serenthia’s words, the suspicious figure silently nodded and lightly touched the bird’s-eye view with his finger.
Then a huge building appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Shein muttered with a bewildered expression.
“Isn’t this illusion magic?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s ‘simulation’ magic.”
Illusion simulation magic.
When certain conditions are input into this magic, it shows a reality identical to the actual thing in advance.
In terms of architecture, it’s like building a structure beforehand.
“This time we’re building it in advance ‘within the illusion.’ If there really are dangerous problems, and if it can’t be built according to the blueprints, it won’t be constructed.”
But what surprised Shein was something else.
“You’re using that precious simulation magic like this…?”
Serenthia grinned and said.
“Why, is it a crime to use an available ‘assistant’?”
***
This world has no modeling programs, no rendering programs.
That’s quite sad.
Because I can’t show people 3D blueprints.
‘But there’s ‘human rendering’ that’s even cooler than programs!’
I smiled mischievously and looked at the man wearing a pointed hat on his head.
He was a talent with the power to show illusion magic to the key figures here and all the soldiers!
Finally, the completed building was revealed before everyone’s eyes.
With a thud, the sound of a door closing, people were walking inside.
At that moment, Serenthia continued speaking like a narrator, or like a docent explaining an art piece.
[Inside the Memorial Tower.
Upon reaching the center of the space, everyone’s gaze touches the light streaming down from the center.
Now, everyone looks up at the sky.
As time passes, the light inside the Memorial Tower gradually moves toward the center….
The light soon illuminates the entire interior of the Memorial Tower.]
Watching the eyes of people experiencing the illusion magic gradually sparkle, I smiled brightly.
“I didn’t design the interior of the Memorial Tower to be completely dark. I designed it so different lights shine according to different time periods. And… when you move, the walls change.”
“What do you mean….”
“Depending on the position of the regenerative bricks, and according to the irregularities, some bricks shine brighter while others appear darker. But I designed everything to achieve balance.”
I opened my eyes.
I could also see Deputy Tower Master Shein, whose complexion was changing by the moment. Before I knew it, his expression was shifting to one of bewilderment.
“Thanks to the different lights that those people created for us, we can all stay warm here, receive light, and live and breathe.”
“….”
“I put that meaning and sincerity into it. So, the people resting here will be in the warmest and most sunny place.”
The expressions of people who had been nothing but rigid subtly changed.
I quietly gazed at their faces that had softened gently like spring, then slowly opened my mouth.
“Nevertheless, if you don’t want this, I will withdraw from this project….”
I looked toward Raphael.
‘No? No way!’
Wait, I had lost my mind for a moment.
‘Where would I go, leaving my husband behind?’
Absolutely not!
‘And there’s still the hidden reward that Squirrel said he’d give me!’
