“Final night time’s magic efficiency was actually wonderful! It was like a dream.”

Aurora’s cheeks have been barely tinted, and her voice was unusually energetic.

“I’m glad you appreciated it.”

If one thing like that may make you so pleased, I’d carry out magic any variety of occasions.

The magic efficiency final night time will little question be the speak of the city in different international locations. I’m positive will probably be a lift for McMillan-sama.

“I hope so.”

Anyway, the egg dishes are scrumptious. Smooth and fluffy. The aroma of spices within the sausages additionally stimulates the urge for food.

Nevertheless, there’s a slight drawback.

“Mnn?”

I used to be so grasping that I threw the whole sausage into my mouth, however I couldn’t open my mouth, so as a substitute of answering, I turned to have a look at Aurora.

Maybe I did one thing with out realising it?

“Right here’s what I obtained……”

Aurora calls out to the maid of honour who’s ready by the wall, and a wagon is pushed to the aspect of the desk. There have been many envelopes on it. All of them have been splendid.

What is that this?

“That is?”

Percival additionally had a suspicious look on his face.

“All of those are invites to a tea social gathering. Every invitation stated that I needs to be accompanied by Sapphiras-sama.”

Ugh……

I used to be speculated to have finished some form of chanting to keep away from this. It wasn’t very efficient, was it?

“I assume that’s how enticing Sapphiras’ magic was. I think about they’re determined to someway join with the magician who stole the night social gathering earlier than Aurora-jyou returns residence.”

“Sure. I’m positive you’re proper, Percival-sama. Sapphiras-sama had that a lot allure final night time.”

I’m pleased about that, however I’d prefer to keep away from any form of tea social gathering for aristocrats that is filled with ulterior motives. Regardless of how I take a look at it, I’m positive I gained’t have the ability to take pleasure in tea or sweets.

“Please relaxation assured. We’re declining all invites. Nevertheless, there may be one invitation that we can’t refuse.”

As anticipated of Aurora, she is reliable. Nevertheless, in the case of somebody Aurora can’t refuse, the one those that come to thoughts are royalty.

“Sure, Her Royal Highness Queen Sophia insists on it. She invited me final night time.”

Simply as I believed. If the opposite individual is Her Royal Highness the Queen, we gained’t have the ability to refuse except there’s something particular……

Mmn? Come to think about it, I haven’t stated a phrase since some time in the past, so how do you each know what I’m making an attempt to say?

“It’s easy. It’s all in your face.”

What did you say!

Percival and Aurora gave me a free smile, and I lastly swallowed the sausage into my abdomen, my expression tightened as I coughed evenly.

***

Aurora is elegantly having fun with tea with Her Royal Highness the Queen at a pavilion in a superbly landscaped backyard with vibrant flowers and inexperienced grass.

As for me, I used to be standing silently behind Aurora as her bodyguard. As anticipated, I, a commoner and a mere bodyguard, can’t sit on the identical desk as Her Royal Highness the Queen.

By the way in which, Percival shouldn’t be right here. As a result of the invitation solely had Aurora and my names on it.

This backyard appears to be a spot for the royal household to take pleasure in themselves in personal, and solely those that are formally invited can enter.

Across the pavilion stood a number of feminine Tornx knights, and additional away have been knights in armour and guards. There are additionally ladies-in-waiting and servants, however in fact they’re additionally chosen ones.

Solmontana’s guards are ready exterior the backyard, however it’s laborious to consider {that a} candidate for the crown princess of a serious energy can be in peril within the royal palace of a pleasant nation, and even when one thing ought to occur, I’ll simply let Aurora go away this place. It’s straightforward, so I don’t have any issues even when it’s simply me.

“Anyway, the magicians of Solmontana are wonderful. The entire citadel was buzzing all night time lengthy with tales about final night time’s magic.”

“I’m honoured to obtain your praise.”

“Sapphiras-san, is that proper? Can we invite him to our nation?”

“Nicely……I’m sorry, Your Highness Sophia, however Sapphiras-sama continues to be a scholar. He’s nonetheless in the midst of his research, so I can’t settle for your provide.”

“In fact, as a visitor of the royal household, we are going to put together Sapphiras-san in order that he can totally research at this academy.”

Her Royal Highness turned her gaze to and I lowered my eyes in a panic. No, I’ve no intention of leaving Solmontana in the intervening time.

“It’s a nice honour so that you can welcome Sapphiras-sama as a scholar of our nation, so warmly. Nevertheless, the event of human sources at Creare Academy is likely one of the measures that His Highness Prince Melchior is most captivated with. Specifically, to any extent further, the top of Solmontana’s magic division needs to place extra effort into coaching magicians who can use magic just like the one we noticed final night time. Our ducal household, who agrees with His Highness Melchior’s concepts, is sponsoring Sapphiras-sama, a promising magician, and my father additionally has a particular eye on him.”

“Nicely, that’s how it’s……it’s a disgrace, but when that’s the case, it could actually’t be helped.”

Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia had a really dissatisfied look on her face. She appears to have understood that it might be inconceivable to drag out a scholar who attends an academy that includes the crown prince of an awesome nation with the backing of an influential ducal household.

It appears that evidently the royal household of this nation is extraordinarily first rate and severe, in contrast to the crown prince who has gone lacking someplace, so I don’t suppose they may make any extra unreasonable calls for.

“Though it’s nonetheless restricted in the mean time, the academy is making ready to open its doorways broadly to those that are keen to study. We hope that at some point the scholars of the Kingdom of Tornx will select our nation as a spot for cultural change.”

“Oh, that’s great to listen to. It will likely be an awesome hope for the younger individuals of our nation to have the chance to study such lovely magic. Come to think about it, Aurora-sama, you’re additionally a scholar at Creare, aren’t you?”

“Sure, I’m within the second grade, identical to Sapphiras-sama.”

After that, they began speaking about Creare Academy, they usually fully left my subject. Thank goodness.

……Anyway. Aurora is a really brave younger girl in any case. She is taking up a queen in a dignified method. Isn’t she the right lady to be the long run crown princess?

I used to be starting to get bored with simply standing there when the tea social gathering lastly got here to an finish.

“I heard that you simply like sweets, Sapphiras-san. I’ll have the sweets delivered to your room later. Please take pleasure in your self.”

Her Royal Highness smiled as she stood up from her seat.

Sweets, that’s one thing to sit up for. I bowed deeply to precise my gratitude. She didn’t appear to be offended that we declined her invitation. Anyway, I’m glad that the whole lot ended with out incident.

“Thanks to your laborious work, Sapphira-sama.”

Aurora has gone from her crown princess candidate face again to her ordinary classmate face. I additionally stopped guarding her and walked up subsequent to Aurora.

“You too, Aurora-jyou. Anyway, I’m glad she didn’t say something forceful.”

“Sure, that’s true……however that doesn’t imply my considerations are gone.”

“Eh?”

“Really, the son of the Duke whom you and Percival met on the town, it seems, is a nephew of Her Royal Highness Sophia.”

“……Ehh……that one? Actually?”

It’s laborious to consider that the nephew of Her Royal Highness, who appears so type, is such an thoughtless man, nevertheless it is sensible while you suppose that his conceitedness is because of the truth that his aunt is the queen.

“I hear that he’s not a person of excellent fame, and Her Royal Highness Queen Sofia is having a tough time…”

Aurora frowned.

“I’m planning to return to our nation the day after tomorrow as deliberate, however please don’t let your guard down till then.”

“Mm. I perceive”

I go away the remaining to the escort knight and half methods with Aurora on the spot. Percival might already know, however I’d need to inform him quickly, simply in case.

“I’m bored with ready. Come on, recover from right here!”

As I used to be speeding in direction of Percival, I all of a sudden heard a loud voice, and a powerful drive grabbed my arm from behind, inflicting me to stumble.

“!”

Once I circled in shock, I noticed that the one who was holding my arm was the Duke’s son who I had been speaking about only a few minutes in the past.

What with this man?

Feeling irritated, I forcefully shake off the hand that was holding my arm and glare on the Duke’s son.

“Isn’t it too impolite to all of a sudden seize my arm?”

“Hmph, you’re so cocky regardless that you’re a commoner……now that I’m your grasp, I gained’t allow you to behave like that once more.”

“Ha? What the hell are you speaking about? Are you out of your thoughts?”

I used to be so stunned that he all of a sudden began speaking nonsense that I forgot that he was the Duke’s son and simply let my true colors come out.

I don’t bear in mind having somebody such as you as my grasp, and I’ve no intention of serving anybody within the slightest. Even a idiot ought to suppose earlier than he speaks, however even when they suppose, I don’t need to hear nonsense.

“You will have an attractive face, however a nasty mouth. A commoner is a commoner in any case. You need to have heard it from my aunt. You will have turn into my private magician.”

What? I’m getting increasingly more confused. I tilted my head a lot that I nearly turned my head like an owl.

……Might or not it’s that what Her Royal Highness Queen Sophia stated on the tea social gathering didn’t imply finding out overseas, however that I ought to turn into his magician? No, no, that’s in all probability not the case. This man could be making his personal assumptions, however isn’t it a sure form of expertise to have the ability to make such assumptions?

“I don’t know what you’re speaking about, I heard of the invitation to come back to this nation. Nevertheless, the Duke of Bloomfield’s daughter clearly advised her that we refuse.”

“What did you say? Are you saying that you simply refused the invitation of my aunt who’s the queen?”

“In fact. I’ve no intention of serving anybody.”

Once I stated that, the son seemed stunned, however then he grinned and smiled creepily.

“Now that I give it some thought, I heard that you’re engaged to that detestable man……however regardless that he’s from the margrave household, he’s the third son in any case. I’m the eldest son of the ducal household, and my aunt is the queen. It’ll be smarter to comply with me. In addition to, he might by no means return to his nation.”

He’ll comply with me. That will be smarter. In addition to, he would possibly by no means return to his nation.”

“Ha? What on earth does that imply?”
