“Poison or what, I don’t really understand myself. I always was inside of royal palace working, always learning manners or studying there was no time to understand anything about the house….”

Vain Frontier Count didn’t suspect my word’s.

 

“Is that so? I thought could there be a thing to become a magician, special poison or something. To tell the truth, even with the knights who brought this man, it was hard for us to deal with him, but now I understand the reason why it was so complicated for us.”

 

Vain Frontier region tends to have land that is more likely to be involved in conflict. They tend to use intelligence agents to watch over the surrounding area and suspicious individuals entering and leaving. By doing so, they quickly learn about which country came to explore the situation in their territory, and judge whether invasion will come along with circumstances or will they make a deal.

 

“It turned out that some intelligence agents in the castle were killed. I have hurriedly arranged a different person to strengthen the surveillance, but two people seem to have killed a knight who was with this guy. And two of the others have been found to be burned to death…It seems that Count Patriciel knows the way of making magicians and invaded our territory.”

 

The main point of his question was about Patricièl’s Count’s knowledge. The red drink is probably not a poison but a special medicine that produces magicians.

 

While listening, I felt crisp powdery feeling on my tongue. That sweet and sour drink was mixed with a powder like sand. I think that the mixed powder remained melted, but I remembered it well because it was so uncomfortable. However, I don’t even know the identity of the drink. So again, I shook my head to Vain Frontier Count.

 

“Okay … ….”

 

“But it is certain that Earl Patrièl came up with a way to make magicians. In some way or another this man had killed our intelligence agents. There are too many magicians that he has up his sleeve.”

 

Reggie who had been silent, quietly concludes the problem.

And I also nod to his words. Perhaps there is a reason why Kiara Credius of the game became a magician. That is because the Count of Patricièl knows how to make one.

 

And I noticed another thing. It’s two years from the siege of Evral. Even though I was beyond the border, could it be said that I had advanced to the nearest point without noticing it? If you think that guards and intelligence agents who were going over the border, etc. were killed in some way. The enemies were already in tune.

Those who watched the trend were killed after two years, so I could guess that they didn’t notice. To me who had been thinking about such a thing, the Vein Frontier Count said

 

“You can return already.”

 

“Sorry it had to be so late at night. If we have any question, then we would need to ask you again. So please cooperate. Also, His Excellency Reginald get some rest today.”

 

That was said, so I and Reggie left the dungeon. There was Mr. Groul, the escort of Reggie. I am relieved to see Mr.Groul who is standing properly with no injuries on him.

 

“I’m glad that you are safe”

 

Mr. Groul blinked his eyes a bit in a surprise, nodded small and thanked me.

 

“Thank you for your consideration.”

 

In the meantime, I said my greetings and tried to get back to the room quickly. The thing’s I couldn’t properly tell to Reggie today, I was thinking of pointing out more crucial moments in the story of two years later. On the other hand it’s impossible right now…

 

After hearing the story of the man just now… … I am afraid that I can be considered as a danger. I’ll tell him more information when everything is settled.

 

“Then Reggie. I am going to ……”

“Groul. Before I go back to my room, I’m going to lead Kiara to her room.”

 

“I understand.”

Before I could part with him, Reggie tagged along with me. My shoulder’s stiffened and I felt uncomfortable going with Reggie. If I think about it, there was a time before when I couldn’t calm down near Reggie. I wonder why. Even if I try to distract this uncomfortable silence with some stupid story, my mouth becomes heavy when I think Groul is listening.

 

Reggie is the Prince after all.

I can’t talk to him like I always do when we are alone. This life’s knowledge tells me I can’t refuse the other party. I noticed that compared to my previous self, I’m considerably more corroded. Still, it is unnatural to break it down now. As a result, I arrived in front of the room without saying anything fancy, but I did feel relieved because I did not say anything stupid.

Well this time next time I will tell Reggie off.

 

“Okay Reggie good ni … …”

“We need to talk. Groul it’s difficult, but you have to wait outside”

Reggie who said so with a smile gets into my room from the door I opened halfway.  

Heeei! Reggie! You can’t enter the room without permission! No, Today I was taking orders from Count to take a rest, so the room is untidy …. But what about going into the girl’s room at midnight?

 

“Hei! Reggie !”

 

I too entered the room while raising my voice, confused as to what I should say to the smiling Reggie standing at the door.

 

“Well, it’s already so late at night. Aren’t you tired? Tomorrow, let’s continue with the talk?”

 

He gently entered the door I kept open, and with the loud slam. He closed it heartlessly.

 

“Eh ……”

 

Reggie, you. Firstly we are not yet adults but teens in the midst of puberty. Even though the guard is standing watch outside the room, right now we are alone in a locked room. What is he trying to do?

 

Reggie who didn’t consider my behavior gazed at me emotionlessly.

When I retreated unintentionally, my back hit the door.

And then Reggie did an unimaginable thing, he grabbed both of my shoulders tightly pressing me to the door…

 

“Wh.. wh-what?”

 

What the hell is he doing!? I want to say so, but my mouth does not turn well in this unusual situation.

Reggie stood smiling, illuminated by the only candlestick light in the room. Hei! I’m scared! In a lot of ways!

 

“I think that we should discuss everything today, while you are trembling and feeling pressured. It would be easier for you to spill everything out.”

“Huh!”

 

Wait a moment. For this reason, he immediately made a situation where we were going to be in a room alone. Just after seeing the state of subordinates of Count Patricièl! What?

 

“It seemed not to be a good story to tell Groul, so I decided to hold back. But between us, we have no secrets, right Kiara?”

He also excluded Groul from the room to make it easier to spill the beans. How did he come up with such a wicked idea!?

 

“You are so wicked Reggie! “

I instinctively say this, but Reggie did not change his mind.

 

“Kiara”

 

He turns into a serious look quickly, he puts some power into the hands grasping my shoulders.

 

“How and where did you know the things of two years later that you warned me about?”

 

“Well, uh … From my dream …”

 

I said the same thing before.

 

“Weren’t you too confident for it to be just a dream?”

 

“Well, in fact, I have learned of Jeremiah at church school … …”

 

“Considering that you ignore the time of prayer in the morning and evening completely, even at the meal time, your prayers are very apathetic. ”

 

“Well …”

 

The reason why this couldn’t deceive him was all because of my behavior. Surely I was being a sample of the unbeliever. Especially with my previous life, I’m from the beginning not very religious …….

 

Because if there were Gods as the Church says, I would be staying with members of my original family, and not be adopted by the likes of Patriciel.

 

Even more so if it’s an artificial goddess, systematic existence, I can’t believe it even in slightest. It is easy to convince me that I have a memory of a previous life in another world, as a result of an error caused by a malfunction. It is easy to understand if you think that the sound of the goddess’s whistle is an error signal for me. To such a me, Reggie did not relax his pursuit.

 

After saying “Did you lie to me? You can’t trust me to such an extent?”

 

The facial expressions of Reggie are somewhat sadly distorted. I feel painful as if he grabbed my heart. Because I felt it hurt his feelings.

 

“It’s not because I can’t …”

 

Reggie keeps pursuing me, who said this unexpectedly.

 

“Is it something you are scared of, that’s why you can’t talk?’

 

I couldn’t say it to him. Because if he comes to know those things, I may end up like that man in the prison. I can’t let him see me this way……. I do not want to be hated. That is the scariest thing.

 

“Are you afraid of me? Or the topic?”

Reggie was repeating questions, He let out a sigh and gave up me who tried to not open my mouth hard.

 

“Kiara, you are frightened, so let me do something that will make you think talking is not so scary?”

 

“Eh!”

 

I am surprised at how he changed his plans. Could he want to wring my neck? It is like being slashed by a sword. A scary imagination circles around my mind.

 

But scary feelings cannot be wiped.

Something touched my cheeks when I was stumbled and couldn’t respond. It is soft and didn’t hurt the skin, to this sensation I blink.

 

No way, just now was it …. lips!?

The moment I noticed that my cheek was kissed. I was weak enough to sit down. As if he aimed there, Reggie whispered.

 

“Should I change the question, were you trying to find out various things so that you can become magician yourself?”

 

“How did you notice it? ”

 

How can he understand to this extent? After his question, I gulped in air. I’m finished. It’s as good as affirming it!

In the first place, Reggie has done such seductive techniques! I mean, how does he know how to do this? Reggie! I am 15 years old and I’m scared!

Reggie looked on with a smile at my face. My mind is in chaos.

 

“And to find out about the stone that was passed by thorn princess, you weren’t as scared as you wanted to appear. Rather you cared only about magicians, and eagerly investigated this topic?”

That’s why he thought I was strange. And seeing my state after the death of magician before, he thought about the possibility.

 

What a smart person he is, I groaned.

 

How did this smart person get killed so easily … No, no. It was BECAUSE he is smart, I realize that the Queen thought of him as a hindrance.

 

“People who could become magicians were scarce. Even though you didn’t know if you can become one, you were convinced that you are going to become a magician in two years. That’s why you said you will protect me, right? ”

 

What a foolish thing I blurt out! I want to go back and complain to myself.

But coming all this way, he has good insight. With my head, I can’t deceive him.

At last, I am ready.

 

“That red drink, I have some knowledge about it, because…..I too had to drink it”
