Chapter 15

By the way, how on earth does this thing work?

I examined the crystal orb from all angles, then thought “oh well, I don’t know” and pressed it with my hand, which turned out to be the right answer as the crystal orb lit up.

Through the round crystal orb, I saw a familiar face.

“Shamal!”

When I waved my hand cheerfully, Shamal also awkwardly waved back.

Seeing him through the crystal orb like this felt quite different.

[Wait a moment.]

Shamal disappeared from the crystal orb for a while, then returned shortly after bringing someone with him.

It was a man who looked much older than Shamal.

The dark shadows around his eyes might have made him look even older.

[He says he’s looking for me.]

I instinctively sensed that he was a mage from the First Princess’s Palace and Shamal’s colleague.

I smiled gently at him.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Rene from the Sauver County.”

[I’m called Derek.]

Derek seemed satisfied with my polite attitude, smiling contentedly while stroking his beard.

[What business do you have with me?]

“Actually, I have a favor to ask.”

I held up the magic device Shamal had given me and spoke politely.

“This is a magic device Shamal made for me, and I’d like to use it in the Imperial Capital.”

[How did that guy end up making such a pretty magic device?]

That’s what I’m saying.

I deeply agreed with Derek’s words in my heart and carefully opened my mouth.

“Could you remove the restrictions so I can use it in the Imperial Capital?”

[For what reason are you making such a request?]

I knew he would ask this.

I rattled off the excuse I had prepared in advance.

“Actually, I’m a huge fan of His Highness the Crown Prince. So my wish is to see His Highness up close at least once…”

Of course, it was a lie.

I wasn’t a fan of the Crown Prince, nor did I particularly like him.

But I needed a plausible excuse to use the magic device.

I enthusiastically went on about the Crown Prince’s wonderful qualities.

Actually, there was a reason I was praising the Crown Prince to this extent.

Shamal had casually mentioned that Derek was a passionate fan of the Crown Prince.

He had applied to be a mage in the Imperial Capital just to see the Crown Prince up close.

Unfortunately, he didn’t become a mage for the Crown Prince’s Palace though.

Still, Derek was such a huge Crown Prince fanboy that he was satisfied just being in the same castle as the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince was the best way to win over Derek like that.

My thinking was that as a fellow Crown Prince fanboy, Derek would understand and allow me to use the magic device.

Though I doubted whether it would actually work.

I enthusiastically praised the Crown Prince’s wonderful qualities.

Fortunately, Derek was listening to my words with a deeply sympathetic expression.

Fanboys naturally understand each other.

Derek applauded as soon as my story—written as story but read as Crown Prince praise—ended.

[That was a wonderful speech.]

“Anyway, that’s why I’m making this request, hoping to see His Highness up close at least once.”

[I understand well the desire to see His Highness up close. Speaking of him, he’s like sunshine itself. Since it’s a magic device made by Shamal, it shouldn’t be dangerous, but I can’t easily remove the restrictions. I may look like this, but I have quite a strong work ethic, and also…]

You have a long tongue, Derek.

I smiled while listening to Derek’s words, then pretended to accidentally drop my pouch of gold coins.

“Oh my. I’m sorry.”

Derek’s eyes sparkled when he saw me picking up the gold coins. He took the bait.

“Actually, I prepared this to give to you, Derek…”

[For me?]

“Yes, a small gift, you could say.”

[Oh dear, this is troublesome.]

I could see Derek’s lips curling up.

I deliberately shook the gold coin pouch vigorously so the jingling sound would be clearly audible.

Derek’s eyes swayed left and right following the swinging gold coin pouch like a pendulum.

What an honest fellow.

“Oh, I didn’t mean to trouble you, Derek. If that’s the case, I’ll donate these gold coins to the Magic Tower…”

[No!]

As soon as I mentioned donation, Derek slammed the desk and stood up.

He stood up so roughly that his chair was pushed back and even fell over with a thud.

I covered my mouth with one hand and secretly laughed.

He fell for it.

[Ahem. Since the young lady prepared this for me, I can’t ignore such thoughtfulness.]

“Then you’ll accept it…?”

[I’ll send my assistant soon, so if you pass it through them, I’ll gratefully accept it. And I’ll make sure you can use the magic device as soon as possible.]

“Thank you, Derek.”

After smiling brightly, I had to spend about another hour praising the Crown Prince I had no interest in, following Derek’s lead.

Ugh, how exhausting.

* * *

That night, I woke up to the sound of someone tapping on the window.

When I approached the window, I saw a blue bird sitting on the terrace railing.

The blue bird’s black eyes stared directly at me.

As if telling me to hurry up and open the door.

I immediately opened the window and let the blue bird inside.

The blue bird lightly flew over and landed on the desk, then lifted one foot.

Looking closely, I saw a note tied to it.

I untied it and unfolded it to read. The content of the note was simple.

[Send the gold coins and magic device. I’ll have my assistant bring back the magic device after setting it to work in the Imperial Capital as soon as possible.]

So Derek’s assistant he mentioned sending was a bird.

I had naturally assumed it would be a person, so I reflected on my narrow thinking and handed the gold coins and magic device to the blue bird.

But the gold coin pouch and magic device seemed too big for the blue bird to carry.

“Can you carry these?”

When I asked, the blue bird chirped “Tweet!” and suddenly spread its wings.

Then it began to puff up its body very quickly.

This bird is also enchanted with magic.

I clapped in amazement watching the blue bird grow from palm-sized to as big as my torso in an instant.

The blue bird then lifted its head proudly as if showing off.

“You’re really amazing.”

Tweet!

The blue bird chirped once more and flapped its wings.

It seemed to be in a good mood from the praise.

How cute.

The blue bird enjoyed my praise with its whole body for quite a while, then finally flew away with the gold coin pouch and magic device in its beak around dawn.

I watched the blue bird’s tail feathers disappear into the distance, then closed the window.

With this, all preparations for attending the First Princess’s tea party were complete.

All that remained was putting the plan into action.

* * *

The long-awaited tea party day.

After finishing my preparations to go out with the help of the maids, I put on the bracelet-shaped magical device that Shamal had given me around my wrist.

It sparkled and shone, looking incredibly beautiful.

I had secretly instructed Louis that he would follow behind me, so he shouldn’t cause any trouble.

Even if the First Princess picked a fight with him, I had firmly told him not to react, so no incidents should occur.

Of course, that was assuming Louis would restrain himself well.

The First Princess is now a 16-year-old girl, so surely she wouldn’t hit him.

I decided to trust in Louis’s gentlemanly nature and climbed into the carriage.

As I went over the plan to infiltrate the First Princess’s Palace once more in my head, I could see the Imperial Palace in the distance.

When we arrived near the Imperial Palace, I instructed the coachman to stop the carriage.

“Wait here until I return.”

“Yes, understood.”

I pressed the gem on the bracelet to activate the invisibility magic and stealthily made my way toward the Imperial Palace.

Just then, I saw the Marquis’ household carriage that Louis was riding in stop in front of the Imperial Palace.

“This is Lady Beatrice Rockwood of the Rockwood Marquis household.”

The coachman announced Louis’s identity, and soon after, a maid handed over the invitation through the window.

I had told Louis to keep the carriage door open for 10 seconds when he arrived at the Imperial Capital and handed over the invitation.

But why isn’t he opening the carriage door?

At this rate, once the gatekeeper opens the Imperial Palace gates, Louis will go in alone.

I was stamping my feet anxiously when it happened.

Slam.

“Ahhh! It’s a bug!”

Louis screamed and opened the door.
