A few days later, I copied all the murals of the underground ruins onto paper. What came in handy was the attribute-less magic tracing. This spell could copy what the eyes saw onto objects, including paper. In short, it was a printer. I didn't need to write with a pen. The words would appear directly on the paper, which was why I said it was a printer. At first, I looked at the photos in PIDIDI and copied them onto a piece of paper. Rather than " tracing ", it would be more appropriate to call it " printing ". Forget it, it didn't matter. Simply put, I obtained the printer through this spell. I tried to print out a few dessert recipes and gave them to Miss Ai Er. She was ecstatic. As long as I am aware of the language when I use this spell, the printed document will automatically be translated into the language of this country. However, I still have to use my search to find the ingredients. As for the amount of ingredients, I began to use the 100-yuan coin I had on me to determine the weight. Why didn't I think of this method earlier? Then, send this document to the capital. I asked everyone, but everyone seemed to be afraid of meeting the Duke. In the end, I was the only one who went. At times like this, I would feel that there was a huge difference between my understanding of nobles and theirs. After all, there were no nobles in the current world. No, strictly speaking, there used to be nobles in this world. I took the copied document and opened the portal. I passed through the door of light and walked to the front door of the duke's house.
[Woah!]
[Ah, sorry.]
The guard was shocked to see me suddenly appear. He was always scared when I visited this place. He should have gotten used to it. But looking at him now, it seemed like it would take a long time. Oh? The door opened and the carriage drove out. Is the duke going out? I came at the wrong time.
[Mr. Yan Yi? That was great! Come on up!"
[Eh? Wait…Eh? What's wrong?"
The Duke opened the carriage door and immediately grabbed my arm after he walked out, dragging me into the carriage. What's wrong?
[Aiya, I didn't expect you to come at this time…!] God probably sent you here. I have to thank him."
The duke sitting opposite me began to pray excitedly. The person who sent me here is indeed a god. Speaking of which, he was extremely anxious. Did something happen?
After I asked the duke, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He said in a desperate voice,
[My brother was poisoned.]
" Fortunately, I reacted early and my brother survived. However…"
The duke lowered his head and clenched his fists. His voice, which he had managed to squeeze out with great difficulty, trembled slightly. His brother was almost killed, so of course he was worried.
[If that's the case, it'll be easier to find out the identity of the criminal...]
The duke sighed and raised his head. A bitter expression appeared on his face.
"There are three countries surrounding the Kingdom of Belfast. To the west was the Liflis Empire, and to the east was the Regulus Empire, separated by the Melissia Mountains. To the south is the Kingdom of Missoumido, separated from our country by the Great River Jia Wu. Between the three kingdoms, we have maintained many years of friendship with the Liflis Imperial Kingdom in the west.」
"After the war that happened twenty years ago, our country and the Imperium temporarily concluded a non-aggression treaty, but the relationship between the two countries is actually not friendly. It wouldn't be surprising if this country attacked us again. Then there was the Kingdom of Missoumido in the south, where there was a problem.」
[Problem?]
"Missoumido is a new country. Twenty years ago, when we were at war with the Empire, they declared their founding. In order to contain the Empire and start a new deal, his brother wanted to form an alliance with this new country. However, some nobles objected to his brother's decision.」
[Why?]
Since we don't know when the Empire will attack us, the more countries that support us, the better. Could it be that things weren't that simple?
" Missoumido is a country founded by the Asians. There were many demi-humans living in the country, and the orc king ruled the entire country. The ancient nobles were very dissatisfied with this."
[... Why is this happening?]
Although this matter was beneficial to the country, as long as the nobles were dissatisfied, could they still arbitrarily obstruct the country's policy? And I don't understand what's wrong with him being a demi-human. If the other party was a beast that I couldn't communicate with, I could still take a step back and respect the thoughts of those nobles. However, the orcs were able to communicate well with humans, and the Elma I met before was also a rather friendly girl.
"In the past, demi-humans were regarded as inferior creatures and were the object of everyone's contempt. Everyone felt that demi-humans were a lowly and barbaric race. However, in my father's generation, laws were enacted to change this concept. This custom gradually disappeared, and now orcs can walk in the city towns of this country. Although they were not discriminated against on the surface, many old-fashioned nobles privately disagreed with this matter.」
[Because of discrimination?]
[Yeah. They don't understand why we need to work together with the lowly Orcs. Instead, they think that we should conquer the demi-human countries and make them our own. To the nobles who advocated this, his elder brother was just a stumbling block.」
So that was the case. This group of old nobles might be the mastermind behind this incident. However, was there a need to go so far? He actually wanted to kill his own monarch, I thought to myself. They should be the most troubled by the king's death, right?
"If the elder brother passes away, his only daughter, Princess Meina, will inherit the throne. These nobles would probably force the princess to marry their sons or other family members. After they establish a relationship with the royal family, they will use their power to ostracize the demi-humans…In that case, those people who wanted to abduct Su back then might not have wanted to threaten me, but to threaten my brother.」
If they didn't want their niece to lose her life, they shouldn't have established diplomatic relations with Missumido. They had planned to threaten the royal family like this. However, the princess of this country should be heavily guarded, so they couldn't make a move. That was why they targeted Su instead…No, perhaps the other party would get so smug that they would force the princess to marry their son. However, how should I put it…I feel that this scheme is very crude. The culprit doesn't seem to be very smart. After his deeds were exposed, the criminal would definitely be executed. The bad guys from the period dramas inexplicably appeared in my mind, such as greedy businessmen or local tyrants.
[So how can I help?]
Magic Resurrection, which could restore abnormal states, could indeed completely detoxify the poison and eliminate the aftereffects of poisoning. That's why the Duke brought me here. I suddenly understood. While we were talking, the duke's carriage passed through the city gate, crossed the suspension bridge, and arrived at the castle. The duke hurriedly led me into the city. As soon as I stepped into the castle, I was greeted by a tall hall covered with a red carpet. This is my first time entering the castle, and everything is so huge. There was a staircase in front of us that extended from the floor we were on to the left and right, drawing a gentle curve. There was a brilliant and luxurious crystal lamp on the ceiling, just like the dazzling stars. It wasn't lit by candles. It was probably enchanted with light magic. The Duke and I rushed up the long, carpeted staircase and brushed past a man on the landing.
[Oh!…] Count Balsai…"
The duke glared at the man in front of him. The man was slightly plump and had sparse hair. He was wearing gorgeous clothes. He reminded me of a toad. The man was looking at us with a nasty smile on his face.
"Don't worry, we've already arrested the person who intended to take His Majesty's life.」
"The prisoner is the ambassador sent by the Kingdom of Missoumido. The king had only fallen to the ground after drinking wine. We found out that it was wine given by the ambassador of the Kingdom of Missoumido.」
[How is that possible…]
The duke looked surprised. He found the news unbelievable. If this matter was true, it would indeed cause a chasm to appear between the two countries. No, it wouldn't be surprising even if it caused a war. I find it hard to accept. Things were going too smoothly.
" We are now imprisoning the ambassador in another room. The Orcs actually did such a lawless thing. We should cut off her head and send her back to Missoumido..."
"No! Everything had to be decided by his elder brother! Tell the ambassador to stay in the room!」
[Then, I'll take my leave first. It seemed that he would be quite busy in the future.」
Toads dropped these words and walked slowly down the long staircase. Become busy? Was it because the king would die? The duke watched the bald count with his eyes, his clenched fists trembling. Alright, let me punish that toad.
[Swipe.]
" Oh wow!?"
The toad stepped on the stairs and rolled down. He didn't stop at all. He fell straight to the bottom of the stairs and was thrown to the floor.
[Oh!]
After a while, the toad pretended to be calm, stood up unsteadily, and began to walk forward. The maids and guards around them were trembling from holding back their laughter. Tsk, he was fine. Hearing my tsk, the dumbfounded Duke turned to me and asked,"
[Did you do it?]
I silently gave the Duke a thumbs up and smiled brightly. The duke's face showed a stunned expression. After a while, he smiled like me.
"Oh no, we don't have time to waste here. Hurry up!」
[Brother!]
The Duke flew into the room, where sunlight streamed through windows that filled the walls, and many people surrounded the bed with its luxurious bedspread. Everyone looked at the person lying on the bed with a sorrowful expression. That person was probably the king. A young girl clung to the bed and held the king's hand. Beside her, a woman sat on a chair with tears in her eyes. An old man in a gray robe had a pained expression. A woman with emerald hair held a golden staff and lowered her eyes. A man with a big beard was wearing a military uniform, his shoulders trembling with anger. The duke walked to the bed without any scruples and said to the old man in the gray robe,"
" We've tried everything, but this is the first time we've seen a poison with such symptoms... If this continues..."
The old man closed his eyes and shook his head quietly. At this moment, the King said in a hoarse voice,"
[Brother!]
"... My wife and daughter, please... You must... ally with the Kingdom of Missumido..."
[Mr. Yan Yi! Please!"
I was looking at the two of them from a distance, but when I heard this, I rushed forward. The bearded man in military uniform wanted to interrogate me, but he was stopped by the duke beside him. The king stared at me, his eyes murky like a dead fish. He mouthed,"Who are you?"
However, he could not make a sound. His face was pale, his lips were dry, his breathing was weak, and his face was already dead. I have to speed up. I gathered my magic power and placed my palm on the king's body.
[Resurrection.]
A soft light flowed from my palm to the king. After the light disappeared, the king's breathing became calm. In the blink of an eye, his expression became more and more energetic. The king blinked, and his eyes regained their vitality. Soon, he sat up forcefully.
[Father!]
[Hubby!]
[... It's fine. The pain just now seemed to have been a lie and disappeared.」
The king ignored the confused doctor and looked at me.
"Al... Alfred, this is?」
"This is Mr. Yan Yi, who cured my wife's eyes. He happened to visit my humble abode, so I brought him here. I think he can save your life.」
"... Ah, hello. My name is Yan Yi."
I didn't know how to greet him, but he gave me such a ridiculous answer. Wouldn't that be rude to the king?
[I see, it's the cure for Madam Irene…!] It's all thanks to you, I have to thank you!」
Seeing the king thanking me, I didn't know how to reply. At this moment, Big Beardy patted my back. Wait, it hurts!
[Thank you for saving His Majesty the King! Are you called Yan Yi? I like you very much!"
The bearded uncle slapped me hard again. I told you it hurt!
"General, let's stop here. However, that was the revival of non-elemental magic. How interesting.」
The woman holding the golden staff stopped the bearded uncle with a smile. He was saved.
" What's wrong with the ambassador?"
"How stupid! Even if you kill me, what benefits can Missumido get? This was done by someone else who viewed me as a stumbling block!」
The king insisted. As such, the toad was indeed very suspicious.
" But…you did fall unconscious after drinking the red wine given by the ambassador. Many people present witnessed this scene. If we can't clear her name…"
[Hmm…]
" We don't even know what kind of poison the prisoner used. Perhaps it was a special poison used by the orcs. We have to investigate this first…"
The old doctor in charge muttered in confusion. They had tried to detect all kinds of poisons, but there was no reaction in the wine. They did not know what kind of poison the king was poisoned with, so they naturally could not find an antidote. That was why these people were helpless and left the king, who had been unconscious for nearly an hour, wandering between life and death. Normal recovery magic could not restore abnormal conditions such as paralysis or poisoning. If I hadn't come here, His Majesty would have been summoned by the Lord and played right into the prisoner's hands.
"In short, let me meet the ambassador first. General Rennes, help me call her over.」
[Yes.]
The bearded uncle quickly walked out of the room. The ambassador was most likely wronged. The prisoner wanted to kill the king and frame the ambassador. After the relationship between the two countries cracked, they would start a war in the name of righteousness…The mastermind behind the scenes should have such wishful thinking. His thoughts were really easy to see through.
[I'm sorry…]
While I was deep in thought, someone spoke to me in a trembling voice. I looked up in surprise and found the princess (I remember her name was Yumina) standing at the side, staring at me. She was about two or three years older than Su, about twelve to thirteen years old. Princess Youmeina had golden hair like Su and a pair of adorable eyes. Looking closely, the color of her eyes was different. His right eye was dark blue, while his left eye was emerald green. She was wearing a fluffy white dress, and the silver hair accessory on her head was shining.
[Thank you for saving my father.]
Princess You Meina bowed deeply to me as she said that. She was really polite. Great, it seemed that she was not an arrogant and willful princess.
"It's just a small matter. It's great that His Majesty can recover.」
Hearing someone thank me again, I felt very embarrassed. In order to hide my shyness, I smiled. However, the princess stared at me without letting go. Eh, what's wrong? She was staring at me... staring at me... staring at me.. still staring at me...
[I'm sorry…what's wrong?]」
Her burning gaze made me feel like I was sitting on pins and needles. I had no choice but to look away and ask. The princess blushed and opened her small mouth,
[…Do you hate girls younger than you?」
[... What?]
I tilted my head in confusion, not understanding why she would ask this. At this moment, the door opened, and an Orc woman around the age of 20 followed General Beard into the room. Eh? That person was…
"Olga Stoland is here to pay her respects to His Majesty.」
Facing the king who was sitting on the bed, the Orc woman knelt on one knee and bowed. The beast ears on his head stood up. A tail dangled from her waist. It was a fox's tail.
[I'll get straight to the point. Did you come to this country to kill me?」
"I never meant that! I swear I never meant to poison you!」
[That's true. You wouldn't do such a stupid thing. I trust you."
After the king said so decisively, he smiled brightly, making the ambassador of Missoumido look relieved.
" However, the wine you gave us was indeed poisoned. What's going on?"
[About, about this matter…]
His sister, who was holding a staff, stood beside the king. After she asked this question, the fox orc lowered his head weakly. She probably didn't have any evidence to prove her innocence. I felt that the woman holding the staff did not sound like she was scolding her, but rather asking her what to do. Hmm…
[May I ask a question?]
[Mr. Yan Yi?]
[It's, it's you…!]
Sister Fox was surprised to see me coming to talk to her. Ah, it was indeed that sister from back then. She was the sister of the Orc girl, Elma, who had lost her way in the capital. So her name was Olga.
" You know the ambassador?"
[Where did His Majesty fall?」
[Ah? Yes, it's still in its original state…No, we only brought the red wine out to analyze the poison. Although we've been checking, but…"
Therefore, they hadn't found any poison yet. It was probably that common trick. Ah, it wasn't really a trick. Once they found out that there was no poison in the wine, they would immediately give themselves away. What a crude technique. I'll go and confirm it.
[Can you please take me there?] Perhaps there was a way to prove the ambassador's innocence.」
Even though everyone looked at each other, I still obtained the permission of His Majesty the King. General Ryan led me to that room. It was a huge venue with a white brick fireplace and dark blue curtains on the windows facing the garden. The walls were lined with expensive paintings, and the ceiling was decorated with luxurious and gorgeous crystal chandeliers. The long table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth and a silver candlestick. The plate with the food was still on the table. I asked the general to bring me that bottle of wine.
[Is this a bottle of rare wine?」
[I'm not sure either. It seems so.] According to the ambassador, it was brewed in a village in Missoumido and was quite valuable.」
Aiya, let me confirm it.
[Searching: Poison.]
I activated my search magic. After looking at the wine, I looked around the room and the items on the table. Hmph, as expected. Everyone would have found out sooner or later. It was only because I knew how to use search magic that I was able to find out how the criminal had poisoned them so quickly. However, since I can use Search to search for poison, as long as I try it myself and shout 'I'm poisoned' when the drug takes effect, everyone should be able to find out the source of the poison. But I have no intention of trying. So, what should he do? At this rate, the other party might pretend to be unaware and just muddle through. The criminal might have predicted this. He probably thought that even if the plan failed, no one would suspect him, right? I can clear Ambassador Missumido's name. However, if doing so will prevent everyone from apprehending the real culprit…Alright, I've decided!
[I roughly understand. General, please ask His Majesty and the others to come here. Ah, there was also Count Balsai. Other than that, there's something else I need to ask of you…"
[Please?]
The general tilted his head in disbelief, but he still accepted my request. Since there is no crucial evidence, I want the prisoner to confess. Aiya, let me set up a scam.
His Majesty, is your body alright?？」
Seeing the toad rush into the banquet hall, the king answered calmly and patted his chest proudly.
[I-I see. Hahaha, congratulations, this is the best…"
The earl broke out in a cold sweat. A stiff smile appeared on his face as he rubbed his hands. The king looked at him coldly. Ah, it seemed that the king had also realized that the earl was the criminal.
"There was a moment when I really thought that I couldn't make it. It was all thanks to Mr. Hiko who immediately cured me of the poison. Aiya, my luck was really good. My life was really on the line at that time.」
Hearing the king's words, the bald count glared at me with hatred. Hey, hey, hey, aren't you being too obvious? Other than him, there was no other criminal.
[Then, Mr. Hiko, why did you want to gather everyone?」
The person who asked me was the palace magician Charlotte, the woman with emerald hair and a golden staff. The people gathered in the banquet hall were His Majesty the King, Princess Youmeina, Princess Youaier, Duke Ortolin, General Rennes, Miss Charlotte, Doctor Raoul, Miss Orica, and Count Balsai. As everyone stood in the room, I began to state: " As you all know, someone poisoned His Majesty the King. This was the place where the criminal had poisoned the food. The scene was untouched, even though the food on the table had already cooled down. Then, regarding the criminal who attempted to assassinate the king…"
After a while, I said,
[It's among us.]
I've always wanted to say this line! The atmosphere in the banquet hall became restless. Miss Olga's face darkened, and she suddenly pricked up her fox ears, as if she was using her eyes to say to me,
No, it wasn't me."
I know. Seeing Miss Olga's pale face, Count Balsai, who was beside her, curled his lips. He was overjoyed. As the bald count was staring at Miss Olga, he didn't notice that the others were using the same method.
[The criminal is this guy, right?]
She looked at him. Everyone except Miss Olga knew the identity of the criminal. This was too exaggerated...
"First of all, about the poisoned wine.」
I picked up the wine I had asked the general to bring and pointed at it.
[Miss Olga, is this really the bar you gave to His Majesty the King?]」
[Yes, I did give it to His Majesty, but I didn't poison it…!]」
[Shut up! A Beastman like you actually dared to act dumb. There must be a limit to your shamelessness…What?!？」
I glared at the ugly toad that was cursing Miss Olga. I gulped down the wine with my mouth. Although I'm still underage, it doesn't matter. After all, this is a different world!
[Mmm, it's delicious!]
With a thud, I placed the bottle on the table. To be honest, I can't tell the quality of the wine. After all, I'm still underage! I looked around. Everyone stared at me.
[Mr.…Mr. Yan Yi!?] You, are you okay?"
[General, I'm fine. It should be said that from the beginning, this bottle of wine was not poisoned.」
There was a label on the bottle with the words " Bo Jiu Lai " written in Pinyin. He then picked an empty glass from the empty dining table and poured the wine into it.
I raised my glass to the chandelier and made it shine. I walked over to the others who were some distance away from the table and handed the glass of wine to the general.
[Can you drink this glass of wine?」
Despite his stunned expression, the general still downed the wine in one gulp. His glass was empty.
"Aiya! This was really too delicious! I've never tasted this before! Delicious! Count, do you want a drink?"
Wahhh, there was no cadence in his voice at all. The general spoke to the count " according to my instructions."
[Ah? Alright, I'll try it then…"
When he started pouring the wine, the other party's expression changed.
[No, I…!]
[Don't decline.]
I said to the count with a smile on my face. However, the earl was sweating and refused to take a sip.
[Earl, what's wrong? Aren't you going to drink?"
[No, this, uh...!]
[…You can't drink it? Then please forgive me for being presumptuous and let me help you?」
[Ah? Mmmm! Wuwuwu!" I picked up the cup and poured the wine into the Earl's mouth. Even though the earl choked, he still swallowed some wine reflexively. He was shocked.
The toad pressed its throat and rolled on the ground. A pained expression appeared on his face. His arms trembled as he struggled and rolled on the floor. How should he put it? It turned out that people could do this just by guessing and imagining.
[Alright, that's enough. I was holding a brand new wine glass just now.」
[I-I'm going to die…Eh?]
The earl was stunned and stopped rolling. He stood up and gently rubbed his throat.
[... I'm fine.]
[Of course. It was just an ordinary cheap wine. I want to apologize to you for forcing you to drink it. But…" I paused for a moment and asked him the most important question.
[Why do you think this glass of wine is poisonous?」
[Oh!?]
[…What's the situation now?]
"The wine Miss Olga gave to His Majesty was not poisoned. The poison was smeared in His Majesty's wine glass.」[Wine glass…?] So that was why there was no poison in the wine.」
"I can use magic to detect poison, so I immediately noticed it. The perpetrator was probably a chef or a waiter. They might have planned to clean up the glasses after the incident, but the general had sealed the scene, so they couldn't do it. The next step was to force out the real culprit behind the scenes…It was really easy.」
However, no matter how he looked at it, this man was the only one who could be the criminal. I originally wanted him to be unable to find any excuses, but completing the mission so easily made me a little disappointed. After all, the other party had used a cliché trick (it was not even qualified to be called that). As long as they find out that there is no poison in the wine, even if it is not me, others will find out the truth sooner or later. Forget it. Even if the criminal's methods are so clumsy, I still want to play the role of a detective.
" Oh wow!?"
With a thud, the Earl fell to the ground, and the back of his head hit the ground hard.
[Damn it!]
As if she had accumulated hatred, Miss Olga kicked the earl's big belly, causing him to lose consciousness. Wow, it hurts. As an ambassador, she should not have done such a thing, but no one protested.
"According to the general's report, the perpetrator was a waiter and a drug tester. The poison we found in Count Balsai's mansion is the same as the poison smeared on the wine glass. In addition, he had also confessed that he had attempted to kidnap Sue. With that, the matter came to an end.」
In a certain room in the palace, the duke sat on a chair and excitedly explained. Other than the duke, the king, Princess Youmeina, Princess Youel, and Miss Charlotte were also sitting in the room. Everyone was drinking tea around the table.
"What punishment will the earl receive?」
"He tried to assassinate the king, so he will definitely be convicted of treason. He would be executed and his family property would be confiscated. His territory would become ownerless.」
Generally speaking, if one committed such a heinous crime, they would indeed receive such a severe punishment. As for the guilt…it didn't surge into my heart. Why? The other party had brought this upon himself, so I didn't have any room to sympathize with him.
[What about the Earl's family?]
"To execute all of them by association... This seems to be going too far. We should strip his family of their noble status and exile them abroad. Although he said so, that guy was not married. His relatives all despised orcs, so this was just right. This way, the number of people obstructing his elder brother would be greatly reduced.」
the duke said, overjoyed. The king could use this incident as a warning to the other nobles who despised the orcs.
[Speaking of which, I am really deeply cared for by you. I want to repay you for saving my life. Do you have any wishes?」
Although His Majesty the King said this to me, I actually don't have any worries right now.
"Please don't mind me. I just happened to visit the duke. This is your good luck. You just have to think this way.」
What I did was really nothing. If I were to go back to the source, it was all thanks to the power of the gods that I was able to use the spell Resurrection. If I get a thank you gift just like that, I'll definitely be punished by the heavens…Hmm? Was the heavenly punishment the responsibility of the gods? Please don't let me be struck by lightning again.
"Mr. Yan Yi still has no desires.」
[You're really incredible. You can actually use the two non-attribute spells, Revival and Slippage, so freely. Very few people can do this.]」
Miss Charlotte smiled at me. I was rather embarrassed to hear the court magician's praise.
"No, Mr. Hikoichi can also use other non-elemental spells. This time, he used the Teleportation Gate to come to the capital. Also, I remember that he was able to test poisons and make shogis because he could use non-elemental magic.」
「欸？」
Hearing the duke's words, Miss Charlotte froze. Ah…Should I tell the truth?
" Uh, yes, I can use all non-elemental magic. But this is purely my guess."
Miss Charlotte rushed out of the room in a panic…Did I say something inappropriate…?
[You were the one who made the shogi.] Because of Ai 'er's recommendation, I've also started playing. That's really interesting! I'm quite addicted now. However, you said that it was made by magic? How did you do it?"
Ah, even the king was infatuated. This pair of brothers were really alike. I picked up the glass cup on the table and used Create Form. The glass container immediately changed its appearance. In less than thirty seconds, a majestic king model about ten centimeters tall was completed.
[It's probably like this.]
" This, this is really amazing... There are people in the Imperial Kingdom who can use similar magic... But the workmanship of this thing is really meticulous..."
Imperial Kingdom…Was he referring to the neighboring Liflis Imperial Kingdom? The non-elemental spell was a personal spell. Even if it was not exactly the same, there might be many people who could use similar magic. The king raised the model up to the sun and looked at it in admiration. Seeing him like this, I continued to use other glasses to make two models. Even if it was just a model, he had to let the family reunite. After a while, I created the models of Her Highness and the princess and handed them to me. After exchanging their models, they arranged the three models on the table. Hmm, the three of them were indeed quite harmonious when placed together.
[Aiya, I received such an amazing thing.」
"That was originally the glass cup here. Sorry, I can't use it as a cup now.」
I bowed to the king. When I looked up, I saw the duke's expression that said," I want it too." This person was really easy to see through.
"... I'll make a set for the Duke's family next time.」
[Really? Aiya, how can I do this!"
Since I've already agreed, I'll wait for Su and Madam Irene to be here before making it. This way, the finished product will be more exquisite. Seeing how realistic the Duke was, I was just about to smile bitterly when I heard a bang. Miss Charlotte rushed in with many items in her arms. She walked towards me with a sinister expression and spread out a piece of parchment with words written on it in front of me.
Miss Charlotte approached me fiercely. What's going on? It's so scary! Under Miss Charlotte's coercion, I browsed through the parchment. There were words I had never seen before, and I couldn't understand them at all.
[Don't you know this language? Then, can you use this kind of non-elemental magic?」
At the same time, she brought a thick book and opened a page for me. I understand now. Err, reading non-elemental magic? This was a spell that could be read in multiple languages. However, the language must be specified before using it. I see. As long as I use this spell, I will be able to understand those words. If I had learned this spell from the start, I wouldn't have to learn to read from Lyndsey.
[I should be able to do it…Do you know what language this is?」
[This is the ancient elven language. Almost no one can understand it.」
Well, forget it, I'll give it a try.
[Reading/Ancient Elven Language.]
I activated my magic, picked up the parchment and began to browse... hmm.. hmm...
[This is…]
[I can understand…but I can't understand!]？What, what's going on?"
" Erm...'In the magic essence, if Decamendor's tactic is meaningless, when Aldos in the Soma Stance, which produces magic power, changes...' There are many such records, but I'm confused..."
I had no clue.
[Able to read] and [Able to understand]
[Wait, wait, wait a minute!]
Seeing Miss Charlotte approaching with an imposing manner, I cowered and blocked her. Her breathing was so rapid! How terrifying!
[Yes!] No, no, sorry! If I'm not careful, I'll forget myself…!」
Hearing the king's words, the palace magician came back to his senses and lowered his head with a red face.
"Don't worry. I know you've been studying ancient elven magic. I can understand how you feel.」
欸？Do I have to keep reading this stuff…? Endless?
" Well, probably as many as the stars... First of all, the ancient civilization of Partino left behind..."
[Alright, that's it!]
I can't take it anymore. I can do it once in a while, but I don't intend to treat this as my job! I don't want to be a translator. Upon hearing my rejection, Miss Charlotte's face revealed an expression as if it was the end of the world. Even if you do that, I can't do anything about it…Ah, right.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but can I have another glass?」
[It doesn't matter. What are you going to make?"
Hmm, I'll leave the glass part as it is. As for the metal part…I'll just use silver coins. I used Create Form on the silver coin and the glass cup and began to adjust their shapes. I used the silver coins to make the frame and embedded the glass into it. Although the design was simple, it was indeed a pair of glasses. Since the lenses were made of ordinary glass, they were considered to be glasses without power. Miss Charlotte didn't see me make the glass model just now, so she was the only one who showed a surprised expression. However, this project wasn't over yet. I'm going to use enchantment this time to give the glasses a magical effect.
[Enchantment: Reading/Ancient Elven Language.]」
His glasses glowed slightly. After the light disappeared, I picked up my glasses and put them on before looking at the parchment. Yes, no problem. I immediately took off my glasses and handed them to Miss Charlotte.
「欸？Alright…"
Miss Charlotte followed my instructions and put on her glasses. Wow, she's more suited to wearing glasses than I thought. A bespectacled beauty was born. I handed the parchment to Miss Charlotte.
[Then, please read it.」
「欸？……"If Decamendor's tactics are meaningless, the magic power that comes out of the collision…"... I, I understand now! Even I can understand it!"
Very good, he succeeded. I invented the translation glasses. Miss Charlotte began to browse through the other parchments that she had brought. Her ecstatic figure was quite cute, and she did not look like a mature and steady woman at all.
"As long as there are no accidents, the effect should always be there. Please contact me again if it fails.」
"Alright! Ah, can I accept it?」
[Please accept it. I'll give this to you.]」
[Thank you!]
Aiyaya, this way I don't have to change my class to a translator. Miss Charlotte was overjoyed and said," I want to start researching immediately. I'll take my leave first."
" I'm sorry, but once she gets into something, she can't care about anything else... In terms of magic, she's the number one talent in our country..."
"Aiya, this is the child's advantage.」
"... Seeing her so happy, I'm satisfied.」
Seeing the troubled expression on the king's face, the queen giggled. I looked at the two of them, sat down, and sipped the cold black tea. Perhaps it was because this was a high-grade dish, it was still delicious even if it was cold. I could feel someone staring at me…still staring at me…Hmm, the other party had been staring at me since the beginning. As for who this person was? It was the princess. Her blue and green eyes stared at me. It was as if he was aiming at his prey. Did I do something to make her angry…? I don't know if it's my imagination, but her face is so red…She finally stopped attacking me with her eyes. I glanced at her and found that she had stood up and was looking at His Majesty and the princess consort.
[Yumina, what's wrong?]
"Father, Mother, I've decided.」
What did she decide? I looked at her from the corner of my eye and took another sip of cold black tea. After a while, the blushing princess said,"[Please, please let me and this Lord Hikoichi…get married!]」
Puff! Hearing the princess throw out the stun bomb, the cold black tea danced in the air. What did she just say? Married? * Blood stains? structure? Ah, a duel?
" Please allow me to have a duel with Lord Hiko."
Well, I don't understand what she's trying to say. (Editor's note: Bloodstain, structure, and duel are similar to marriage in Japanese.)）"... Sorry, Yumina, can you say that again?」
[What's the reason?]
[Yes. Because he saved your life, that's one of the reasons…Other than that, he will make the people around him smile. Uncle Alfred, Lord Charlotte, he made everyone happy. I quite like his character, and I hope to spend my life with this person…This is the first time I have such a thought.」
[…I see…Since you say so, I won't object. I wish you happiness."
[Father!]
[Wait a minute!]
I raised my hand and forcefully interrupted the conversation between father and daughter. If he didn't intervene, things would become very troublesome. No, it had already become troublesome enough! [Sorry. If the two of you continue talking like this, it will make me very troubled!」
" Aiya, I'm sorry, Mr. Yan Yi. Then I'll leave our daughter to you."
"No, no, no, no! It was too strange! Your Majesty, you are too strange!」
Although I addressed the king as " you," now was not the time to care about such things. This matter concerns my life!
[She's the princess of this country. Can she really marry someone like me who comes from an unknown background?!]？I might actually be a big bad guy!？」
What was that? To see 'quality'? What did he mean?
"Yumina has the 'Magic Eye' and has the ability to see through the nature of others. It was like an instinct, but Yumina was never wrong about people.」
The duke explained it to me. To put it simply, this princess could instinctively distinguish between good and bad people, right? That pair of eyes with different colors actually had such an ability. Forget it, even I can tell that Count Balsai is a bad person. If she really had this ability, she would not be deceived by bad men in the future. Hearing a princess with such an ability call me a good person made me secretly happy, but this couldn't be confused with marriage.
[…How old is Princess Yumina?」
[She just turned twelve.]
[Isn't it too early to get married at this age…!]」
"No, the Wang family will decide who to get engaged to before they turn fifteen. I was also engaged to my wife when I was fourteen.」
Oh, this was the annoying thing about the Otherworld. Just as I looked troubled, someone grabbed the cuff of my coat tightly.
[Lord Yan Yi, do you hate me…?]」
Princess Youmeina's sad eyes stared at me. Wait a minute, this is a foul! Too cunning!
[Ah…I don't hate you anymore…]
To be exact, I don't know you at all. How can I talk about liking or hating you?
Princess Youmeina immediately smiled…so cute. No, now was not the time to think about such things! What should he do? I really haven't found any elements of her that I hate, and I don't have anyone else I like right now. Her parents had also agreed, so she wouldn't have to worry about living expenses in the future. Eh? I don't think I have any reason to refuse. No! Marriage was the grave of life! My cousin once said so! Cousin got married with a child. Three years later, the other party suddenly asked for a divorce. The reason was unclear. Then, he was easily driven out of the house that his cousin-in-law had asked him to borrow money to buy. Later, he continued to pay high fees for the children who were separated from each other. However, almost all of that money had been used by his ex-wife. Whenever relatives gathered for the New Year, everyone would comfort Cousin and pour him wine. Cousin's tired face appeared in my mind. Alright, I want to be a bachelor for the rest of my life! Although I'm not a noble!
"... In my hometown, men have to wait until they are eighteen, and women have to wait until they are sixteen before they can complete their marriage. Besides, I don't know the princess at all, so I can't consider marrying her.」
" How old is Mr. Yan Yi now?"
I replied to Princess Aiur's question. It should be my birthday in two months. However, I can't be sure that the dates of the two worlds match.
"In other words, you can hold a wedding ceremony in two years. Before that, as long as you can understand Yumina, it won't be a problem. Mr. Yan Yi, why don't you get engaged first? We'll give you some time to think about it.」
No, no, no, even if two years had passed, Princess Youmeina would still only be fourteen years old! Oh no, this princess consort is also very strange!
[Mr. Yan Yi.]
[Ah!?]
When I heard the King's call, I actually responded with a strange sound. What could he do? The current situation could be said to be precarious! I knew I was panicking!
[Hmm…If that's the case…]
This suggestion is several times better than suddenly asking me to get married. After a while, the other party's enthusiasm will cool down and she might even fall for other men…After she faces reality, she might also give up on the idea of getting married. That would be the best. There's no way to solve the problem if we continue to insist on our own opinions…I gave up resisting and decided to accept the King's suggestion.
[Yumina, that's great. You have to win Mr. Yan Yi's heart in these two years. If you can't do it, you'll have to spend the rest of your life in the monastery. You have to be aware."
[Alright, Mother!]
[Wait a minute! What do you mean?"
Indeed, he had agreed too rashly! So heavy! It was too heavy! What's going on? I feel like my path of retreat is gradually being sealed! Why was she unable to get married after I dumped her? Couldn't he just continue to find a better partner? "Lord Yan Yi, please guide me in the future.」
" No, I can't figure it out myself..."
Back to Silver Moon.
Else asked in astonishment after I told everyone about the series of events.
[Mr. Hiko is getting married...]
[I'm so surprised...]
