Chapter 49

The sight of the Marquis Cyrka trying round caught her eye, however Isilis calmly handed it over. There was nowhere for him to flee.

‘It’s too straightforward.’

Seeing Marquis Cyrka not directly acknowledging his guilt made her chuckle out loud.

‘…Was I overwhelmed by such an individual? This isilis Larchen.’

Aire’s work continued to take its toll. Black magic and Ignardo’s magic appeared once more. Ever for the reason that day she was kidnapped, she thought she had hunted out all of the impure components although turned out that was not the case.

“Marquis. Do you keep in mind?”

“What do you imply?”

“The day you and I first met.”

“I keep in mind.”

“That day, after treating the marquis, I handed out. Somebody put a drug within the tea I used to be consuming.”

“….”

“Once I got here to my senses, somebody had kidnapped me, and there I believed I would die for the primary time in my life. Due to this.”

She reached out and grabbed Marquis Cyrka’s high. The Marquis’ high, as he was wearing mild clothes, was ripped open and his shoulders had been uncovered. There was a purpose for ordering him to be introduced in with out giving him time to organize.

On his uncovered shoulder, snake and sword patterns had been wriggling black.

“Since when?”

Pillaire had no reply to her query.

He couldn’t even determine it out. Sooner or later, his love for Isilis became a shady obsession, and along with the change in his emotions, there was a pressure that approached him.

It wasn’t that he had dabbled in black magic from the start.

It was as a result of his achievement in swordsmanship turned quicker, and his father’s gaze towards him started to vary. The variety of individuals following him started to extend, and he even gained the consideration of being a sword grasp.

He turned an aide to the Empress and earned the title of the most effective knight within the nation. It was nonetheless insignificant in comparison with the status of a Marquis, however he additionally accrued benefit on the battlefield.

…That was Marquis Pillaire Cryka, a reputation he made himself.

At the very least, Pillaire thought so.

“…I don’t know both, however I’ve by no means finished something to be ashamed of.”

“Have you ever by no means finished something embarrassing?”

“It’s. Your Majesty.”

Isilis put down the tea she was consuming, seeing Marquis Cryka, who confidently raised his head and spoke. Because the teacup landed on the saucer with a ‘clank’ sound, the wizards’ eyes had been drawn. It was the primary time she had made a noise over a teacup. That was how shaken Isilis was.

“Inform me, then, what did you do? Harming the imperial household…”

“I’ve by no means harmed the imperial household, Your Majesty.”

“What?”

“How will you name a member of the royal household who just isn’t born with magical powers a member of the royal household? They don’t have the magical energy that varieties the premise of the nation.”

Isilis’ breath stopped at his phrases. Regardless that she knew lots of people who thought that means, he was the primary to spit these phrases in her face. In such a state of affairs the place nobody ever overtly mentioned to her, ‘The Princess just isn’t an imperial household.’

“The imperial household who can not change into an inheritor is simply half. Wouldn’t it’s higher for the nation and for this Larchen to only quit and get married and set up a brand new successor?”

“It’s me who decides it!”

Listening to her raised voice, everybody fell to their knees. Solely Pillaire Cyrka held his head excessive and regarded straight at her.

“Why does Your Majesty resolve that? Larchen doesn’t belong to Your Majesty.”

“It’s a rustic maintained by my magical energy, however I can’t resolve that?”

“The magic energy of the imperial household deserves to be revered, however it isn’t a rustic that can’t survive with out the imperial household. You bought it mistaken, Your Majesty.”

“…There have to be many individuals who suppose the identical as you.”

“Is it simply me? That’s a given. Even whereas Your Majesty is doing this…”

“That’s good.”

As Isilis answered, Marquis Cyrka, who felt one thing unusual, hesitated.

His phrases had been additionally one thing she had been fascinated about. She felt skeptical the extra she did one thing for her nation. Whereas she was clearly doing the job of defending Larchen, why was she so empty? Who would know her onerous work…?

There was nobody.

This particular person, who was closest to her, was even considering like that.

At that second, she took off the barrier of the imperial palace. The identical was true of the barrier in opposition to the capital, which continued to eat away at her magical power. Isilis quickly opened her mouth as she felt the magic she had harvested refill.

“Then, you guys handle defending the borders and defending the Empire. I’ll withdraw.”

“Your Majesty…!”

The wizards and attendants who had been listening to her bowed their heads. Isilis, who was watching Marquis Cyrrka with a dazed expression, affirmed.

“As of at present, the barrier within the Capital is off. As well as, I additionally recovered the magic that was scattered in every territory that was parasitic to my magic. Marquis Cyrka is a pacesetter of the noble faction. His ideas are to not be his personal, in order that they will need to have come from the heads of nobles. Let the entire empire know. Even with out magical powers, the imperial household is the imperial household. Nonetheless, I can’t defend those that disrespect the imperial household and don’t acknowledge the authority of the imperial household, so I hope the nobles handle themselves.”

Whereas making an attempt to cease her, who stood up, Marquis Cyrka was pushed again by her magic.

“Marquis, you don’t know what I used to be sacrificing for this nation. I would like you to really feel it as soon as.”

When she got here out of the room that smelled of roses, she felt relieved. What was consuming her personal magic was lower off. The nation would fall into chaos, however she didn’t remorse it. If she didn’t do that, her baby would by no means have the ability to rise to the Empress’ throne.

“Your Majesty…!”

Within the distance, she noticed Duke Verus and nobles operating.

“What’s it?”

“The barrier of the Capital…! The Capital!”

“Ah, I did it.”

Everybody checked out Isilis with clean faces at her remarks that had been so calm.

“What’s going on?”

“Return it again to regular proper now!”

“This may’t be! How can this be!”

Listening to the nobles’ clamoring, Isilis raised her hand.

“I had a personal assembly with Marquis Cyrka a short while in the past.”

All of the nobles held their breath.

“You may study extra in regards to the story by watching the video stone. I thought of it, although it looks as if you guys demanded my sacrifice too naturally.”

“Your Majesty—!”

“So, I’m additionally going to take every week off.”

“What are you saying…”

“Shouldn’t you are feeling that gratitude keenly because you don’t know how you can be grateful whereas dwelling by counting on my magic energy?”

Nobody was in a position to cease Isilis, who circled after talking so.

She sneered in her thoughts as she watched the nobles operating to Marquis Cyrka, who got here out after her whereas some wizards adopted her. She had deliberate to seclude herself with the wizards for every week or so. Nonetheless, the response was a double-edged sword.

She knew it, too, so she didn’t need to use it, however she couldn’t assist it. This was one of the simplest ways to place her baby, the Princess, because the inheritor. Moreover, it was additionally a means for her to prepare the impure components round her without delay.

“Marquis! What the hell have you ever finished?!”

The nobles who noticed the video stone performed by the wizards rushed at Marquis Cyrka.

“Laying palms on the Princess? She has no magic energy, however she is of the Imperial Household!”

“Magic energy might be manifested later, don’t you recognize that?”

Attract, the chief wizard, uttered as he walked slowly. On the similar time, gazes had been targeted on him.

“I didn’t know you had been so smug in the direction of Her Majesty. Are you saying that in your proper thoughts?”

“Did I say something I couldn’t!”

Marquis Cyrka cried out in anger.

“Really, what are the imperial household doing on this nation! Simply sitting in seat and ruling the nation. Bloodlines or nothing!”

“Oh, my god… are you loopy?”

“I’m a noble and I’ve seen a number of smug individuals, however that is the primary time I’ve seen somebody so loopy.”

The aged nobles shook their heads at Marquis Cyrka. Quite the opposite, the nobles, who had been nonetheless younger, listened to Marquis Cyrka’s phrases.

Seeing sympathy, Duke Verus mentioned.

“All of those stuff you get pleasure from might be loved because of Her Majesty’s magical energy.”

“Magic, magic! Even with out magic powers, Larchen can run simply effective! Aren’t you ashamed to dwell by counting on one particular person? Why do we want the Imperial Household? They’re those pouring magic into the nation! It’s simply..”

With a ‘crash’ sound, Marquis Cyrka fell to the ground. His father, the Margrave, opened his mouth with a trembling physique.

“…It’s my sin that I took care of this loopy particular person as my son.”

The nobles groaned on the margrave’s deep bow. When the previous man got here ahead, nobody might converse.

“Isn’t that proper, father?! Should you want the Imperial Household’s magic, simply draw it…!”

“This mouth!”

“I can’t hearken to it anymore.”

Attract waved his hand. After casting a binding magic on Marquis Cyrka, he regarded on the Margrave and mentioned.

“Does the Margrave agree with the Marquis?”

A voice like frost broke out.

“Good.”

“Good. Do any of you agree with what the Marquis simply mentioned?”

Everybody averted their stare upon Attract’s cool gaze.

“Disrespect for Her Majesty is treason in opposition to the Larchen Empire. From this time onwards, Marquis Cyrka will likely be detained, and we’ll do something to seek out out who’s behind it.”

“He’s a son of a noble!”

“No noble might be superior to Her Majesty. You haven’t forgotten what occurred earlier than, Margrave?”

“…I haven’t forgotten.”

“I believed you forgot once more.”

As Attract flippantly beckoned, Marquis Cyrka got here ahead once more. Regardless that he tried to ignite his aura, his aura was destroyed by Attract.

“It’s hypothetical to make use of the aura, however you need to have seen who the opposite particular person was. You’re only a sword grasp!”

“Uwaarghh!”

Marquis Cyrka screamed as he clenched his fists. The magical powers that sure him started to gnaw away at his aura.

“No…!”

“Those that have spoken disrespectfully to Her Majesty are topic to abstract execution.”
