33 – How dare you make my daughter cry?

“…… That said, the identity of yesterday’s binge drinking was the result of Sir Edwald’s magic colliding with the battle system.”

“Is that so? I was out of the imperial palace at the time……. After returning belatedly, I found out on my own, but Sir Edwald’s magic failed.”

The second day, the second meeting.

Before the Emperor arrived, Duke Kecil and Marquis Lycanter were having a conversation.

And White, who was carefully concentrating on the conversation from a distance.

‘…… Did Sir Edwald sort it out?’

After the explosion, he was the first to arrive on the scene, and it was because Chris and other successors saw it.

I was worried that there might be a lot of suspicious eyes.

At least on the surface, it seemed that the imperial family’s magic and confrontation system had been treated as an error.

‘Your honor might be damaged, but you’re quite considerate.’

Inside, White raises his evaluation of Friedrich.

In any case, thanks to that, we got through safely, so shouldn’t we have a bit of gratitude?

White lifted the corners of her mouth.

And.

“…… What are you laughing so hard about?”

“…… ?”

There was one girl who had been watching White all along.

At the sonorous voice heard from the side, White turned her head slightly and looked at the owner of the voice.

“Why can’t I laugh?”

“…… Well, not like that.”

Serena let out a sigh and shook her head excitedly.

And then, Serena begins to stare straight at White.

“…… Why are you looking at me like that?”

She felt a strange ominous feeling in her, and White showed her displeasure, but Serena didn’t care.

“Hmm… ….”

She just stared at White for a while, and then she settled down right next to White.

“Hey, you… ….”

For a moment, White, who was embarrassed, voiced that it was absurd.

“Why, is there a problem?”

Serena just let her blonde hair fly and smiled her grin.

‘…… What’s wrong with this guy again?’

For some reason, White frowned slightly at the benevolent look in her eyes.

Her first meeting with her was yesterday’s meeting, followed by a casual sparring.

During that series of events, was there anything that made her feel good about herself?

If it wasn’t that, at least there was something that might interest you.

“… ….”

After thinking deeply for a while, White came to a conclusion without difficulty.

‘Dalian was the problem.’

White clicks his tongue softly so as not to be heard.

A look of annoyance began to appear on his face.

…… At the time, she had her own calculations that overpowered her.

Perhaps such sparring made her feel some special sentiment.

I didn’t know exactly what it was, but anyway.

“Haa… ….”

White let out a shallow sigh.

Seeing that Serena didn’t seem to want to say anything even though she was sitting in the seat next to her, White also decided not to say anything.

If you want to sit next to me, sit down.

Well, it wasn’t even a problem in itself.

“… ….”

“… ….”

Thus, through an unspoken agreement, a calm silence fell between the two boys and girls.

Serena just kept her mouth shut and stared at her white.

From the outside, it looked like he was just looking at it normally.

There were many thoughts and calculations going on in her head.

‘…… Obviously, the owner of that mana at that time must be this guy.’

With that thought in mind, Serena slightly raised the corner of her mouth.

She didn’t even have to verbally confirm it.

She was quite trusting of her own sixth sense.

‘And that sixth sense says that you are the owner of that mana. White.’

Serena cupped her chin and curled the corners of her eyes into half-moon shapes.

‘What happened, in that short amount of time.’

It was certain that something had moved the mana once, and that would mean that there was some kind of collision.

And the inside story of yesterday’s binge drinking, which I heard about today.

‘Did Sir Frederick Edwald, the Grand Mage of the Imperial Family, make a mistake with his magic?’

Fishik-

Serena laughed lightly, as if it was nonsense.

Of course, even if she was a master magician, there were times when she would fail depending on the level of her magic.

If that level of magic had failed, it wouldn’t have ended with a binge drinking at most.

And then, a question arises.

‘Sir Edwald, what was he trying to hide?’

Serena quietly narrowed her eyes.

Of course, that gaze was directed at the platinum-haired boy sitting right next to him with an expressionless expression.

‘Probably, no, almost certainly.’

Serena’s smile began to darken slightly.

She was sure.

She tells the truth that the great mage of the imperial family tried to hide by citing the reason that her magic was a failure.

Apparently, she would be involved with White, who is now sitting next to her own.

“… ….”

…… But.

There was one really important thing.

For the first time, a subtle expression appeared on Serena’s expression.

Yes, that’s good.

She

She realized there was a hidden truth to yesterday’s binge, and she even figured out that White was involved in it.

‘By the way… ….’

…… Yes, she was good until she found out.

‘…… What should I do now?’

Serena twisted her fingers through her own golden hair once, with her sullen look.

Should I just ask outright?

From noble mtl dot com

No, I don’t think White will answer that.

“… ….”

If that happens, her truth will eventually fall into the labyrinth.

No matter how much she was the successor of the writer Lii Canter, she couldn’t directly question Friedrich, who was at the top of the empire’s wizards.

The only key to solving the mystery is the boy next to her staring blankly into the void.

“… ….”

Serena had to feel a little frustrated.

I was very curious about what happened yesterday, and about the relationship between the great mage of the imperial family and White.

Because there was no way to answer the question.

“Haaa… ….”

She let out her strange salivating voice once.

“…… ?”

Her White glanced at her once with a gaze as if she was looking at a strange guy.

And, of course, she wasn’t Serena who would go unnoticed by those gazes.

“…… Hey you. Didn’t you just look at me with a displeased look?”

She opened her eyes and began to show her hostility towards her white.

She seemed to be applying pressure in her own way, but…….

“No, I think it’s just your imagination.”

There’s no way that kind of pressure would work for White.

She just smiled and waved her hand as if White was annoyed.

“I know you are interested in me because you lost in Dalian, but don’t bother me too much. I am busy.”

“…… What, what?”

At White’s brief words, Serena blushed with a look of astonishment.

Not because of shame, of course, but because of anger.

“Hey! I’m not like that…… !”

You’re interested.

No, of course it was true that I was watching with interest.

It was true that I was quite curious!

That’s the way it is, and I’m absolutely not interested in that kind of thing!

“I…… !”

So, Serena took out her words and tried to deny it.

“…… I, I.”

“Me, what?”

“… ….”

Unable to get her words out at the end, Serena quietly lowered her head.

White sneered at him as if she knew that.

“I was hoping for an excuse, but I don’t think there are any.”

“…… You really.”

White’s openly sarcastic attitude made Serena blush with shame.

In her eyes, a feeble life began to sway.

‘…… It’s not my style to think and worry about this and that.’

While muttering such thoughts in her mind, Serena firmly ate her heart once.

“White.”

“What is it?”

White simply responds to Serena’s call.

Then, while glaring at White like that, Serena removed her lips again.

“Once again next time, compete with me.”

“…… ?”

What came out of her mouth was a word that could be called a bit unexpected.

White’s expression was stained with doubt.

It was Serena who felt the heat rise one more time at his expression, as if asking ‘why?’.

As she tried to calm her anger, she forced the corners of her mouth up to make her smile.

“…… Just. It’s okay, that much. You, too, will have to practice with the battle against the knight in mind, and is there any other opponent as good as me in that respect?”

“Hmm… ….”

“No, I didn’t mean anything. Just, just me—”

…… White laughed once as she tried to explain and try to explain herself.

Of course, Serena was so absorbed in her explanation that she didn’t notice White’s ridicule, but anyway.

‘…… I don’t know why they are so interested in me.’

White nodded her head a couple of times.

‘It doesn’t look like it’ll get in the way.’

Isn’t that the girl who will become the strongest knight in the future?

It wasn’t a bad thing to make connections in advance from now on.

Although it is said that being in a relationship with her does not mesh with his own inclination.

What can I do?

I am not the White Qliphoth I used to be.

Her mighty mana, which was not inferior even to that of her enemy’s demon lord, and the state of being far beyond the 9th circle that she endured to the very end against her own teacher, Ashera, who was called the strongest demon lord.

Because they were far away and out of reach now.

Even though it’s the power to regain someday, at least it wasn’t a problem right now.

“… ….”

White closes his eyes and looks like he’s lost in thought.

Soon, by the time his eyes were opened.

It was after he made his own promise.

‘Starting with Serena Reikanter… ….’

White gave Serena a glance, then she calmly began to look around her audience.

The target of his gaze was the heirs of the seven families of the empire.

Orca, Joshua, Julian, Persia, Aidan.

…… And lastly, even the youngest princess of the imperial family, Princess Chris.

‘What. It was fine as long as they were helpful in my future work, they weren’t talented enough to get in the way.’

While laughing, White thought so.

“… ….”

…… Within.

‘…… For a moment.’

A sense of missing something passed over White.

“…… Chris?”

The identity of that sense of incongruity was none other than the existence of Princess Chris, who did not attend yesterday’s meeting.

“…… White.”

Clearly visible in her eyes, with an expression that only made her look cold, she was slowly approaching White.

After reaching right in front of White, she glanced at White once.

“… ….”

“…… ?”

And then, he looked at Serena, who was seated next to him.

“… ….”

Uh-

…… Was it an illusion that she heard the sound of grinding her teeth?

At this strangely uneasy feeling, White and Serena broke into a cold sweat once.

However.

“White.”

The scene that unfolded the next moment was completely different from what White and Serena expected.

Chris calmly called out White’s name.

Tap, pop.

“…… ?!”

I started to weep slowly.

“Ah… ….”

“…… Wait, Chris?”

She jumped up from her seat, seeing Chris wiping her eyes with his sleeve as if he hadn’t expected it, showing White’s unusually flustered expression.

“Woe, poor princess?”

Serena too was shocked and blinked her eyes.

“Oh, no. Sorry. This… …. Just.”

Chris started muttering in a strangely trembling voice.

“It’s just that I was angry yesterday. So she treated her coldly for no reason…….”

“…… What?”

“When I see White again like this, I get emotional without knowing why.”

Facing her bewildered White head on, she raised a vague expression on her face.

Took-

“…… I was wrong, White.”

Leaning halfway over White, she spat out her words of apology.

And to her sudden action.

“…… ???”

White seems to have let go of her mind halfway from embarrassment.

“…… Uh, uh uh uh huh?”

And Serena, who can’t keep up with the situation that follows next to him and lets her strange voice flow.

Not paying attention to the reaction of the two, Chris continued to shed her tears.

“Sorry, I was wrong. Give me one more chance, White.”

Her silver hair fluttered lightly in the gentle breeze.

“… ….”

…… And White’s expression looking down at her like that,

It was an expression of genuine astonishment, which is not often seen.

“…… Uh, wait a minute-“

Let’s get off and talk.

…… ‘,’ White tried to get her words out, trying to allay her embarrassment.

Kikkik!

“…… !”

…… It could be said that the meeting room door opened wide with a small noise.

“Your Majesty eats it.”

The attendant, not yet aware of the situation inside, muttered quietly.

“… ….”

“… ….”

What is the first sight the emperor sees, a middle-aged man entering the meeting room?

Her youngest daughter, who was so precious to her, was shedding tears as she was embraced by the heir of the Qliphoth family.

“…… Your Majesty the Emperor, this.”

White was sweating and trying to get her words out.

It’s already too late.

The emperor brushed his bangs up roughly, and his eyes flashed blankly.

“Chief, bring me my sword.”

The emperor quietly ordered that.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The chamberlain was simply following the order.

“…… Ah, ahahahaha.”

White let out a laugh filled with dejected emotions.

‘…… How did this happen?’

From noble mtl dot com

Did he do something wrong?

Did I commit such a mortal sin without even knowing it, worthy of being accused of treason against the emperor?

…… Do you have any memories of that?

“White, white… ….”

“… ….”

Meanwhile, Chris was just muttering White’s name over and over again, her tears dripping down her cheeks.

“… ….”

The reason the emperor’s expression turned even colder at that sight was probably not just White’s misunderstanding.

“Your Majesty.”

“… ….”

It wasn’t long before the maid brought a sword in a dazzling scabbard.

Sureung!

Without the slightest hesitation, the emperor drew the sword and held it.

“── I believe that I am prepared to make her daughter cry.”

The enraged emperor’s voice echoed wildly throughout the meeting room.

“…… Ha ha ha ha ha.”

White touched her forehead in her dejection.

“… ….”

And the emperor, who is about to run at him at any moment.

“Gee, calm down. Your majesty!”

“First calm your anger…… !”

Blowing an empty gaze at Duke Kecil and the Marquis of Lycanter, who stopped such an emperor.

‘…… Life X feet.’

White muttered her curse inwardly.
