Chapter 113“……So, you’re telling me that you just didn’t even know there was a proposal from Princess Penelope, and that you just solely came upon after Nox returned? Additionally, that Nox is out of city on an pressing matter proper now…….”
“I see.”
Robert asks in disbelief, and Theo replies in a nonchalant method.
Sandwiched between them, Talia had been silent for what appeared like days after her outburst earlier.
Nobody might blame her, in fact.
However ever since she’d lately realized to learn auras, Talia had realized that she generally obtained a little bit an excessive amount of of them.
Her selfish tendencies had been stripped away.
Anyway, she was rolling her eyes now.
‘What should you two find yourself combating…?’
After all, the combat right here can be an actual sword-for-sword battle.
Talia knew that such a factor couldn’t occur.
If her father had been to fall, she must…….
Thalia couldn’t image Robert profitable.
“After…. Talia, go outdoors for a second.”
It was then that she heard her father’s voice.
She shook her head, unable to grasp, however she was quickly on her ft.
She realized that now was the time to pay attention rapidly.
“Okay…….”
I made certain to say it with a little bit sympathy in my voice. Wouldn’t that make them combat rather less?
That’s what I assumed.
“Huh… please be okay…….”
It was when she went outdoors and stated that whereas sweeping her hand throughout her chest.
I might hear a couple of conversations happening inside.
It was fairly loud with all of the voices, however I couldn’t hear what was being stated.
Safety magic.
Mainly, if you’re a Duke, your parlor goes to be outfitted with a spell like this.
It additionally made Talia much more uneasy.
A lot so.
She was about to chew a nail she hadn’t bitten since she was 4.
Increase!
(beolkeog!)
Abruptly, the door flew open.
The voice that got here again was sufficient to shock her.
“The dialog has ended effectively. Plainly each of you might have come to a passable conclusion. It has been determined that the wedding between the households will happen as deliberate.”
“…What?”
Deacon Rodwell stated.
It was stunning to say the least.
It looks like simply yesterday they had been evident at one another like they had been going to kill one another…….
He’d left himself out of it, had a little bit chat, and issues had been resolved so simply?
After which to have it determined so simply, with out Nox current, with out his enter?
‘The final time I took knighting classes, it was only a promise…….’
This time, each Robert and Theo will need to have pushed a wedge.
Talia clenched her fists tightly collectively.
Then she exclaimed.
‘Dad’s… the most effective……!!!’
Dad was the most effective.

In a world the place there are numerous curse-type magics, dispel is likely one of the lesser-known ones.
That is additionally true of Inside Lunatic.
I, for one, can be misplaced if I didn’t have a deep familiarity with the spell beforehand, so I don’t have to say extra.
For reference, Professor Lars von Celestia as soon as defined this in depth.
This was again within the days of nighttime self-study.
-To place it merely, it’s a strategy of untangling a tangle of threads by reversing the equations that make up the magic. Nonetheless, should you suppose it’s straightforward, you’re unsuitable.
-Mainly, the equations that make up a spell are the equal of submitting dozens of papers, and no wizard can deny that it’s troublesome to do the mathematics and untangle them straight away. I can vouch for that.
-In actual fact, to be sincere, it’s in all probability greatest to not do it your self.
-Merely put, it’s greatest to hunt out a specialist when breaking a curse, corresponding to… the lately decimated race of elves.
-Haha, that’s, if you could find a type of snooty, hiding-away sorts.
Due to the teachings of such a grasp…….
I’m at the moment blackmailing a lady.
Her title is Liese.
There are numerous phrases to explain her.
Imprinter, elementalist with many spirits, and now a reclusive mage who retains her id a secret.
As well as, she was a member of the Astel, one of many rarest of the elven races.
‘The Astel are an outcast among the many Elves for his or her friendship with people. They now dwell outdoors their circle. People of nice energy, however by no means in a position to belong to a pack, by no means in a position to swarm.’
I stated, elevating my hand calmly.
“Sufficient, everybody sheath your swords.”
“However she was the one who tried to assault you.”
Christopher stated firmly, however I shook my head.
By way of brute pressure alone, Liese wasn’t very robust.
Nonetheless, elementalism had a better financial worth than different magic and was coveted by many countries. This made her a fugitive.
There have been many who employed knights or used mages to assault her.
Daily she suffered, and her thoughts grew duller and duller.
After a lot deliberation.
Ultimately, she suffered for therefore lengthy that she determined to cover her id.
She determined to cover her title, disguise her id, and infiltrate one other nation.
However right here’s the catch.
After touring via numerous nations, Liese lastly landed in Tahalin.
Tahalin.
Liese had arrived in Tahalin two years earlier, simply earlier than the battle with the Reinhafers.
Even right here, she evaded the Empire’s search, and was attacked by a mage and defeated.
She stood between life and demise.
It was right here that she was found by a lady, and her true id was revealed: her title was Serin. A small, skinny woman from the outskirts of Tahalin.
She grew to become Liese’s savior.
-Conceal right here. I’ll inform the others you escaped.
Serin knew who she was, however she didn’t inform anybody, and she or he helped Liese conceal.
It was not the type of mercy she would have prolonged to a non-human elf of her personal type, however she did so with out anticipating something in return.
After overcoming such an pressing state of affairs, Serin spoke to Liese, who was about to run away nonetheless wounded.
You don’t must run.
I received’t harm you.
Liese didn’t imagine her, however her wounds prevented her from getting far, and she or he blacked out.
When she wakened. Liese realized.
She realized that Serin had nursed her again to well being day and night time, and that she was alive due to her efforts.
Afterward, the 2 stayed collectively for some time.
It wasn’t all unhealthy.
Liese and Serin’s personalities had been effectively matched.
Serin was a pure chief, and a vagabond’s idol.
She was a pure chief and the idol of the bums. Despite the fact that she knew that stealing was what Serin needed to do to outlive.
She believed that Serin’s actions might be justified to some extent.
Earlier than we get into the morality of the person, the collapse of the system would harm one another in some ways.
On the similar time, Liese couldn’t assist however fear.
-Serin, do you actually must hold stealing? Is there every other method?
Stealing.
It was the one solution to share what belonged to overfed nobles with their youngsters. Nonetheless, it was additionally true that it was not a really authorized technique.
If there was no alternative, it was the most effective she might do.
No less than, that’s what Serin thought.
She stammered.
– I can’t assist it. If we don’t do that, the youngsters of this shanty city received’t be capable to survive… … I’ll must take some dangers
Liese felt her chest tighten and locked eyes together with her.
-Why don’t you simply depart this place?
-I’m sorry, however with out me, all these sick youngsters within the shantytowns of Tahalin will die, and I don’t need that.
Serin had been stealing to feed all the youngsters within the neighborhood who had been her age or youthful. Regardless of committing against the law, I don’t know if this expression is affordable.
However at the least to them, she was a lady pretender.
Liese felt a pang of unhappiness as she watched her.
Even when she was an achieved Elementalist, even when she might use magic. She didn’t have the facility to create one thing out of nothing. The identical was true for therapeutic magic.
So all she might do was ration clear consuming water.
Some may ask.
Why didn’t the Archoness convey any cash together with her?
Properly, no idiot would flee and convey Imperial gold cash.
Imperial gold and silver cash had been the one foreign money that might be used wherever, they usually had been enchanted.
It was meant to forestall counterfeiting and criminality, however the cash she obtained for her wage had been additionally enchanted to trace her location.
A form of shackle.
Consequently, Liese, who was penniless herself, discovered herself ready the place she was continually indebted to her. She started to surprise what she might do to assist her.
And so, utilizing magic, he secretly developed this shanty city. A small inn, ramshackle however with an honest place to sleep.
However the plan was by no means accomplished.
Earlier than I might see the completed product,
Serin was hanged from the gallows.
Lifeless.
One winter, a lady who steals to avoid wasting the household she doesn’t share her blood with. She hung like a felon on the gallows, skinny as a dry department.
Liese echoed the final phrases Serin had stated.
-Gained’t Tahalin be a fantastic metropolis someday? If the suitable king is topped, and the girls and boys who’re dying of starvation are taken care of!
-Until then, I don’t wish to depart this place.

I hope there’s a greater title than an SSRI for Serin when there’s an official TS.
Tahalin is a cute on-the-nose modification of Tehran.
