Chapter 601

Episode 601 Transaction (3)

Originally intending to leave the banquet hall after saying the three conditions, Ray felt greedy glances from around him.

‘I don’t know what will happen if I reveal all of this here.’

If they are wrong, even the royal family are the ones who touch them.

He spared his words because he thought that a kingdom could be overturned because he was blinded by magic tools.

Anyway, I have to meet the king again sometime and talk.

In addition, the magic tool he made is not a permanent organ, but a semi-permanent organ that requires mana to be injected at regular intervals.

When the effect is over, you will have to find Heron Kingdom to inject mana, so you don’t have to talk about the deal right now.

After the deal with King Heron was roughly finished, numerous young ladies gathered around her.

The aristocrats who tried to approach Ray to have a chat had to come back because they couldn’t even get close to him.

A young lady with long golden hair stood out and greeted her.

“My name is Ticia from Count Sylphon.”

Talk and take an example.

Watching each movement move like a delicately crafted doll, it was clear how much practice he had had since he was a child.

Ray smiled and said hello.

“nice to meet you.”

Ticia’s face turned red when he smiled so softly, who seemed so confident when talking to the king.

“…If it’s not rude, I would like the King to teach me how to socialize….”

It was a so-called dance request.

Usually, at social gatherings, there is no case in which the young lady suggests dancing first.

It was even more so if there was a huge difference in status between the count’s daughter and the duke of a foreign country.

Because of this, the young ladies who approached him were also nervous and hesitant to speak, but Ticia knocked the ball out.

Ray politely turned to him.

“I’m not used to socializing, so I’m afraid I’ll cause a nuisance.”

“Ah… Excuse me.”

Ticia withdrew with a sad face.

Come to think of it, when was the last time you danced?

Perhaps the social gathering with Iriel was the last.

At that time, I also noticed a lot of nobles.

Let’s take a look around the old thoughts.

For some reason, the prince, who seemed to be restless from earlier, caught my eye.

Follow his gaze and turn your head again.

There was Ticia looking at him.

Aww.

look at these

Thinking that things had become quite interesting, Ray left the young ladies behind and approached the prince.

“Meet the Prince of Heron.”

As they lightly exchanged greetings, the prince, who had been blindsided by Tishia, belatedly greeted her face to face stiff.

“Nice to meet you, Archduke Soleil… I am Heide, the prince of the Heron kingdom.”

Are you a shy person?

Even when we said hello, we couldn’t even look at each other properly.

Ray spoke naturally.

“I came looking at you as if you were rebuking me for not daring to greet the royal family first.”

Heide’s expression died in contemplation when he said it as a joke.

“How dare I…”

The status of a princess and a prince is different.

Even more so if he was the prince of such a small kingdom.

Ray, who made fun of the prince once, smiled and said.

“But now that I see it, it seems that he is not looking at me, but at Lady Ticia.”

“Oh no!”

Prince Heide, whom he had never met before, raised his voice and retorted.

In other words, he must have said it in a serious way, but when he protested, even staining his ears red, he did not believe it.

Why do people who know everything do this?

He taps the prince with his elbow and smirks.

“Is it okay if I become a man and not be able to say a word? Let’s go and have a talk.”

“…How did you know?”

“I’ve been staring at Lady Tisia’s face since a while ago, how can you not know?”

“Ugh. You must keep the secret.”

“Do not worry. In Celia, rumors spread that her mouth is heavy. I am.”

Prince Heide, fooled by his joke, suddenly said with a dark face.

“I’ve known the Lady of Count Ticia… for ten years.”

ten years?

Ray, who wondered if he had had a one-sided love at most, was quite surprised.

In ten years, even mountains and rivers will change.

In addition, even though he looks docile on the outside, he is a prince of a country, so women who have both beauty and wealth must have lined up in front of him from a young age.

However, to reject such women and still only look at one woman.

It couldn’t have been a great jizo.

Prince Hayde continued.

“But her father, Earl Sylphon, is a member of the central aristocratic faction… You could say he has a bit of a hostile relationship with us.”

At that, Ray also nodded.

In the first place, the current King Heron is trying to weaken the power of the central nobility, and the central nobility is overseeing the power of the royal family.

In this situation, if this prince becomes the son-in-law of Count Sylphon, a dog genealogy will undoubtedly be born.

Understanding the situation, Ray asked the prince.

“Isn’t there any other way?”

“The method is…”

“Well, it’s like resolving the conflict with the faction little by little…”

Prince Heide sighed at his words.

“The relationship between the central nobility and the royal family is already at its worst. It’s not just a rebellion, it wouldn’t be strange if a civil war breaks out at any time.”

It seems that the problem in the kingdom of Heron has deepened more than he thought.

With things going like that, of course I have no choice but to bury my feelings for Ticia.

It is a story that is quite heartbreaking to hear.

Ray brought two glasses and offered one of them to Prince Heide.

“You’ll feel better if you drink.”

“…thank you.”

The two shared a few drinks.

Ray, who had become quite comfortable with the words, spoke.

“Come to think of it, today’s banquet was the prince’s birthday.”

Then Prince Heide laughed shyly and shook his head.

“ha ha ha. What is the importance of a mere prince’s birthday? Thank you for being the focal point where everyone can come together.”

I was able to find out by sharing the story.

He was very naive and humble for a prince in a political position.

Perhaps he was training swordsmanship, but the refined mana in his body was as clear as a lake, just like his temper.

‘I don’t know what will happen in the future.’

I don’t know if he has a talent for swordsmanship, but if he reaches this level, his clear mana will be the best goal for swordsmen.

It doesn’t seem like a bad thing to have a relationship.

Ray searched his arms.

“Umm… I don’t have anything to give you…”

“Please take it away. It’s not so rotten that you want luxuries for an honored guest.”

“It’s my birthday, so I can’t.”

A small stone came out of his hand as he searched for it.

It was a pretty looking stone when I was in the dungeon, so I picked it up as a souvenir, but I didn’t expect it to be useful in a place like this.

He raised mana on his index finger.

Swoouuuuuuuuu –

The small refined sharp mana cuts through the stones. Ray, who had put a

square-

square- pattern on it and rolled it around, looked at the stone once in the banquet hall’s splendid light and nodded his head in satisfaction.

“This is good enough.”

Prince Heide marveled as he marveled at the way he carved the stone.

“I’ve never seen anyone who carves stones so elaborately.”

“It’s not just a stone.”

“yes?”

What are you talking about?

Looking at the prince with a puzzled expression, Ray smirked.

“It is a stone that allows you to use magic. The name is… Planetarium.”

“A planetarium…?”

“Hold the stone and let the mana flow.”

When Ray handed over the stone, Prince Heide reluctantly accepted it.

Let him hold the stone in his hand.

Ray moved Mana.

“Darkness.”

Then darkness slowly came to the bright banquet hall.

Little by little, from ceiling to floor.

The soft darkness eventually reaches the musicians’ performance.

The stone containing Prince Heide’s mana glowed.

The beautiful light of light green color spreads like fireflies all over the place.

Many nobles and women could not keep their mouths shut at that beautiful sight.

The soft light that spread from the stones.

I stayed near him as if to celebrate the prince’s day.

“This is…”

Looking at Heid, who was looking at him with a puzzled face.

Ray took a step back.

“happy birthday. It’s a pretty present, isn’t it?”

“Isn’t this a magic tool? When the hell would this happen…”

I had never heard of such a beautiful magic tool.

Engraving magic on a stone the size of a woman’s finger.

Heide, who had been agitated for a while, soon regained his composure and enjoyed the scenery.

As he brought the glass to his lips, he looked around and said.

“It’s as if the night sky has been brought to you.”

“You are not wrong.”

“A planetarium…”

He looked at the pebbles.

Oddly enough, it’s transparent, so you can see through it a little.

A smile formed on his lips as it was a gift he liked very much.

The cluster of lights that hovered around for a short time soon began to return to the stones one by one.

Embarrassed by that, Ray scratched the back of his head and made an excuse.

“It seems that it didn’t go well to engrave the magic circle in a hurry. It depends on how much mana you put in, but ten minutes will be the limit.”

At those words, Prince Heide couldn’t come to his senses.

Did you rush to engrave the magic circle?

Does that mean, then, that the stone hewn just now was drawing a magic circle, not purely to create a pattern?

Enchantments of this magnitude could only be carved into a single pebble?

As he looked at Ray, he got goosebumps.

The nobles, who were intoxicated by the mysterious light, sighed in regret as the light soon disappeared.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

It

was a magnificent view that you will not see a few times in your life.

It was to the extent that even the musicians were intoxicated and dazed by the beautiful sight while playing.

Ticia was among those who felt so regretful.

Looking at her, Prince Heide grabbed a stone and walked away as if he had made up his mind.

Let him pass by the young ladies and stand in front of Ticia.

After coming to her senses, she looked at Prince Heide with a slightly surprised face.

“To me… Do you have any business…?”

“Lady Titsia…”

“Yes…”

“Would you like to dance with me?”

It’s a really tough blue.

He wasn’t talking back, and his speech wasn’t colorful either.

But why?

It didn’t bother him to hear his request.

Tisia was also dumbfounded at first, but soon burst into laughter.

“…great.”

“Am I really?”

“yes. It’s just embarrassing to be an opponent like me.”

Back-!

A halo of light green light suddenly burst out.

Apparently, a lot of power was put into the prince’s hands.

It was only one dance at a social gathering, but it must have been a great courage for Hayd.

I was worried about what would happen if I refused, but it worked out.

But why does my stomach hurt when I see others doing well?

I can’t believe I’m giving someone else’s love when I’m too busy to see you.

This is why even if a person is too nice, it seems to be a bad thing.
