Chapter 202.
I walked out of the shadowy shrine, no, tomb, of the Crown Prince and the Ancient Rilla, mirror wand in hand.
“Yara brah atino!” Reciting the crazy incantation, I got rid of the sweltering desert and moved near the coast at the edge of the island.
“How do we get out of here now?”
Looking at the boundless sea, he fell into a daze. For just coming, there was absolutely no preparation to leave the island.
“Hmm. It wouldn’t be bad for me to live here with you like this.”
Unlike the worried me, the Crown Prince talked shit without any worries. Jokingly the smile on his face disappeared.
‘So …… don’t think about going back and can’t stay here?’
Rila’s grave remembered what he said. The mood became heavy. Knowing what he wanted, saying that.
“…Please, don’t say that nonsense.”
On the contrary, he whose expression disappeared, I struggled to mutter with a raw expression. My words caused the crown prince to tilt his head.
“Why are you talking nonsense?”
“Take a look around. There’s nothing, how do you live here?”
“Don’t worry. I won’t let you starve to death. I’ll hunt. Fish, do you like it?”
“I don’t like it!” I yelled, tired of his words.
Later in the evening, the sound of ducking spread. I breathed a great sigh of relief. Then hiding my kind heart, I looked back at him and said.
“…… Even your highness has to go first.”
“Hm?”
“You have the magic to be recalled to the palace at extraordinary times. Just use that first and then come pick me up.”
Since it’s a magic that only hangs on the royal blood flowers, they can’t go together. Thinking of the crown prince who disappeared alone a day ago, I said it.
Showing a surprised expression at my words, the Crown Prince replied with a “what was said” expression.
“I can’t go.” “Why?”
“You said. There’s a powerful magic boundary around it, so it’s never succeeded in sneaking in. Summoning magic can only be achieved by breaking through the boundaries as well.”
“Ah.” Remembering the forgotten fact, I was momentarily dumbfounded. His words began to cause a rough vibration of vision.
“So …… we’re really trapped here?”
“What, sort of. You can have your favorite fish party.” The Goat Prince who was really planning to live here took a seat on the beach.
“So know ……!”
You followed without saying a word, knowing full well. That was when he struggled with his anger.
“Don’t stand, sit down. Your throat hurts.”
The Crown Prince quietly tugged on the corner of my coat. Maybe it’s because it’s so peaceful right now, I wanted to yell and scream, so I immediately shut up and sat next to him. Because there’s no rush when it comes to counting. No matter what, in the end, if we just deal with Iben, isn’t that the end of it.
“The crown prince has disappeared, someone will come and get you.” In the meantime, whatever the Duke does …… is not something I know.
After the anxiety disappeared, calm descended. Shoot ah, shoot ah. Listening to the sound of the waves fretting on the shore
Looking over the line I suddenly spoke.
“Your Highness.”
Similarly, Callisto, who was expressionlessly looking over the sea, turned his head to my summons.
“Do you know where the Golden Dragon’s fangs are in the palace?”
“The Golden Dragon’s fangs?”
Possibly at the sudden question, the Crown Prince quirked his eyebrows.
I considered whether or not to ask. However, it seemed wiser to directly ask the palace-born person beside me than to search for it personally. Nodding quietly, Callisto spoke again.
“And why is that? It’s the Emperor’s treasure.”
“Treasure ……?”
“Yes. You must have it to prove that you are the Emperor of the Empire.” Callisto answered crisply.
Like a jade seal, what is this
“You also don’t know the extent of the empire’s founding talk. Ah, you probably don’t know because you’re not actually a male daughter.”
Whether or not he was joking, he spoke in a vague tone.
“It’s an old story, but in the early days of the empire, there was a founding story that said the golden dragon that took care of humans from evil fell asleep under the palace.”
In the end, the “Tomb of the Golden Dragon” was the sound of the Imperial Palace. By this point, I had guessed it, so I nodded silently.
“The dragon gave his offspring the canine teeth before going into a long sleep. He became the first emperor, and that continues to this day.” “I see.”
“It is said that there are mysterious powers that the fangs are hidden in the bosu that the emperor often possesses. A top secret matter known only to the royal family.” The last added words caused eyes to glaze over.
“Can I tell you something like that ……?”
“Why. Asking that, don’t you want to trade your fangs for the Emperor?” The Crown Prince asked with a smile on his face.
“Not like that.” I replied with a frown.
“…… Because no matter what, Rei, Rila seems to be aiming for it. In the future, His Majesty the Emperor might be in danger, so I asked.”
The Crown Prince answered the plausible defense in an unnatural voice.
“Yeah. Then I’ll kill you, Emperor, and you’ll just kill Rila, take the canine teeth, and become the Emperor.”
“Your Highness, kind of!”
“If you become the new king, it doesn’t seem so bad for me to be the secretary of state.”
“Then we can get out of here too!”
And the crazy voice, that guy’s words made me frown.
“Again.”
I don’t know if it was genuine or not, but Callisto’s guy had a serious expression and nodded.
Half-explaining, I turned my head away from that guy and looked at the beach.
“Has …… gotten to this point?” At that moment. The moment he grunted something.
Whoops, whoops. Suddenly, a familiar strong vibrating sound rang out from somewhere.
Startled, he turned back to look at the Crown Prince. Then he tersely pulled something out of his arms. It was the crystal ball with the child’s magic hanging from it.
“It’s been a long time, Cedric Potter.”
“Your Highness! Where on earth …… did you go on the eve of the raid?!”
The adjutant’s voice was almost as loud as a scream after Callisto ended his greeting.
“How ……”
I stared blankly at the Crown Prince’s crystal ball inexplicably.
“Apparently magic is nothing because of the knot?” But there was no time for contemplation before Cedric’s complaint came pouring out.
“The rebels were passing right in front of the nose when suddenly the commander disappeared and the soldiers all went right head first! The slightest miscalculation and the battle is almost entirely lost…!”
“So, you lost?” The Crown Prince interrupted his assistant with a bored expression and started asking from the result.
Cedric had to answer through gritted teeth.” …… won.”
“Well done, Cedric Potter. I believed you.”
“Please, your highness! Because, Your Highness, I don’t know when I’ll die of heart paralysis. Have some mercy on me…!”
“From now on, I give you command. Now don’t just think about relying on me, do it yourself like you did this time. I’m busy.”
That irresponsible word caused confusion outside the crystal ball. But his ears stung, and the crown prince knocked it far away, so he couldn’t hear what Cedric said.
“…The rebels retreated beyond the border.”
After a while, Cedric communicated the progress of the battle. I, who was eavesdropping by the crown prince’s side, inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.” Looks like it’s not just useless cubs in the empire.”
But this isn’t a reassuring stage yet. Cronia isn’t enough either, and now the remnants of Delman over there ……
However, I don’t know if it was simply because he didn’t want to irresponsibly leave the battle behind, but the Crown Prince, who was silently conveying the situation, suddenly interrupted the adjutant’s words.
“…… Hmm?”
The last words suddenly reached the ears. But Callisto turned the conversation to more important matters and didn’t have time to think deeply.
“Call the wizards for summoning magic. Just for reference, two of them. Me and the male female.”
“What did you say, your highness? That’s again because the male daughter…!”
“Hard work then.”
It was followed by Cedric’s shouting voice, but the Crown Prince mercilessly cut off the communication magic.
“I’ll be returning to the capital soon.”
Looking at him who grabbed his seat and stood up, I asked with a bewildered expression.
“What’s wrong? I heard that you can’t use magic because of the boundary.”
“Since you broke the mirror, the magic of the Island Boundary seems to be getting weaker.” The answer that came back stunned me.
“Then could it be that …… is still playing tricks on me even now?”
“Have you noticed it now?”
“Really, really ……!” Crazy ghost!
Looking at the guy who was smiling wryly, I clenched my fists and shivered straight away. Just like just now, the heart that wants to beat up like a chimney, unfortunately, whimpering and wailing loses its rationality, and acting once is enough.
Bear with it. You’re not like that guy, you’re wise.
That’s it, in brainwashing yourself and suppressing your anger.
“Don’t get too angry, male female.”
“If you go back, you won’t have time to be alone like this.”
You said that was, trying to be accepting lol. Seeing his expression that momentarily raised his head, his open mouth slowly closed. Callisto pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty and made a strange expression.
“Just like you dreamed about archaeologists, it makes me think you dreamed about it for a short time too.”
I could only realize once more. Two people living here, having a fish dinner, and saying crazy things weren’t even a joke.” Cheese.”
He held out his hand to me. I looked halfway at that hand and slowly grasped it face to face. Shortly after, the summoning magic was implemented and golden colored magical formations began to draw around us. That was the end of the short trip with him.
