CH 88

After the meal.

Serdel and the Lord of Wizard Tower looked at each other.

“The eyeballs of the dead Raunel store the hallucination he saw just before he lost his life.”

“….”

It’s the first time she heard it.

‘So what I saw and heard earlier is what I experienced before?’ (I’m sorry I’m not sure about ‘who’ experienced it;;)

No way, he also saw it—.

“Originally, the information contained in the eyeballs can’t be seen except by a person who has been hallucinated, so what I’m talking about is because I have a very excellent ability so I can do it.”

For a brief while, the tension that crept from the tips of her toes made her spine tingle.

“I became interested in everything about Young Lady. All right, I’ll do whatever you want. Can the three wizards of the 4th circle or higher be Maro, Henry, and Behman who participated in this work? Isn’t it more reassuring to have people you know standing next to the Emperor than people you don’t know?”

‘It’s completely discarded. Damn it.’

“Instead, please satisfy my interest in Young Lady. Those are my conditions. Oh, of course, I’m not going to tell anyone about our conversation. I swear.”

It’s harder than dealing with the Emperor.

It is because he is a being who has reached the peak of his power, while the Emperor acted in a way she could predict.

She didn’t know where the Lord of Wizard Tower will jump.

‘Looking at the result itself, it went the way I wanted it to.’

In order for Falden to safely secure the power in the Imperial Palace, those three were the wizard in mind from the very beginning to be sent to the Emperor.

‘The Lord of Wizard Tower has some kind of connection between them and me. It seems that he misunderstood and gave it to me.’

Rather, it wasn’t that bad.

Understanding and accepting this means that no matter what actions she takes in the future, there is a high probability that he will accept anything.

While she felt reassured that she had caught his attention and interest, she also felt uneasy that a deep secret was revealed.

In particular, she was a little afraid of not knowing what and how much he might ask and show interest in the future.

“Your gaze is hot. Would you please stop looking at me?”

“I’m just looking and I don’t know what’s so hot, but Young Lady hasn’t given me an answer yet.”

“…How do you want me to satisfy your interest in me?”

“I think Young Lady would know better than me, first of all.”

He pushed his upper body closer to her.

His purple hair, which poured down straight, gave off a strong scent of the forest.

“I hope to see you more often in the future.”

“Well, okay. Let’s see each other often.”

“That’s a good answer.”

After nodded and the Lord of Wizard Tower flick his hand. Different types of tea and desserts were served.

“I want to make a toast, but I don’t know what you’ll like, so I prepared everything. Please enjoy it comfortably. Do you drink wine or beer?”

“Ah, dessert is enough.”

Tak!

“Then are you hungry?”

Dessert had disappeared, and the meal had been placed out. It hasn’t been ten minutes since they ate.

“If you don’t like this either.”

Fruits were placed in different kinds.

“If you don’t like this either.”

The sweet scent of the candy and the huge amount of chocolate made her dizzy.

“Stop! I don’t want to eat anything more. I think I’ll have to go now. Could you please open the door?”

“….”

Avoiding her gaze, the Lord of Wizard Tower suddenly pointed to the ceiling.

“Look at that. Doesn’t it look like a star in the night sky?”

“As soon as I got inside, I already thought about it. Please don’t say anything else and open the door.”

Serdel got up and stood at the door.

“Hurry up, open the door.”

When she said it again with a sullen face, the Lord of Wizard Tower beckoned.

Kiik—.

“I don’t have much time because I’m very busy, but please call me by name whenever you want to see me.”

“Okay. Well then, see you again.”

After this greeting, Serdel, who left the door, sighed as she saw the two handle swords pushed in front of her.

“Lady!”

The vice-captain quickly retrieved the sword.

“I was worried that you didn’t come out even after a long time.”

As expected, Blenn’s face was also like that.

The two glanced at Serdel from head to toe.

“Nothing happened. Let’s go now.”

As Serdel took the lead, the vice-captain and Blenn quickly joined.

Soon after, they were swallowed up by the descending light, and when she lifted her head again, it was in the carriage.

******

A group of negotiations went on, but that didn’t mean the deal was finished.

It is unusual to send the Wizard of the Wizard Tower to the Imperial Family.

There were dozens of elders in the Wizard Tower, and more than half of the important issues had to be approved.

Even for them, this was so sudden that they had no choice but to have a long time to worry.

Fortunately, there were no major problems during the decision-making process.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know that the Emperor had long coveted the resources of the Wizard Tower.

As much as it was a decision made by the Lord of Wizard Tower, who had not been moved by any temptation or pressure until now.

Everyone decided that there must be some other reason.

To that extent, the trust of the elders in the Lord of Wizard Tower was great.

Serdel, who was watching the Wizard Tower, quickly informed the Emperor.

Then, to make sure until the end, she entered the palace with the Lord of Wizard Tower.

Cartal was also on this road.

“So this is what the Imperial Palace is like.”

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he looked around frantically.

Despite his frantic behavior, he looked great in the sun.

His purple hair was neatly tied up and his forehead looked good.

The dark brown robe without the front was like a long coat, heightening his atmosphere.

The faces of the maid passing by turned red.

Even the servants stare blankly at him, who has a strong neutral charm.

“It’s too wide and unfamiliar, so I’m afraid I’ll get lost.”

“If you follow me well, that won’t happen.”

Even if he loses, if he asks someone, everyone will guide him in vain.

“Please hold my sleeve.”

“….”

If it had been someone else, she would have dismissed it as nonsense, but because he said it with an expressionless face, she completely ignored it.

“If rumors spread that the Lord of Wizard Tower had been lost inside the palace, it would be disgraceful.”

So is it okay for the Lord of Wizard Tower to go to an audience with the Emperor while a Young Lady grabs his sleeve?

She almost asked back like this.

“Hold my sleeve if you don’t mind. Or should I hold it for you?”

Cartal, who was listening to his silly comments in silence, held out his hand instead.

“Since I remember all the paths I came from, I don’t think we need to hold onto each other. Let’s go comfortably.”

As he was looking at the Lord of Wizard Tower with a sullen gaze at the sword-like rejection, he gently grabbed Serdel’s frilled sleeve.

Unable to let go, Serdel moved quietly.

The place where we arrived with the guidance of Chamberlain was the meeting room.

There were the Emperor, the prime minister, and two high-ranking nobles of the imperial sect.

“You’re here.”

The Emperor who saw Cartal and Serdel approached. His eyes naturally turned to Lord of Wizard Tower as well.

“….”

There was quite a long silence between them.

The Emperor waited for his greeting, and the Lord of Wizard Tower didn’t greet him first.

If they look at it, he is the Lord of Wizard Tower who has never bowed to anyone before.

Although it occupies a section of the capital, it was difficult to see how the Wizard Tower was placed under the Emperor’s control.

Even if the owner of the Empire was in front of him, he was not a person who would blink an eye.

He was stiff in the face of the center of power, and fortunately, the Emperor was a little flexible.

“Nice to see you, the Lord of Wizard Tower.”

It was only a long time before the Emperor reached out his hand first.

Ordinary people would have bent over and kissed the back of his hands.

“It’s nice to see you, Your Majesty.”

The Lord of Wizard Tower took the Emperor’s hand comfortably with one hand.

It was a time like shaking hands with friends.
