Chapter 24 (1/2)

Sckellz’s plan to abduct the wizards ended in failure

Beco aware of their plot in advance, Nayvel beat theained the cooperation of their ally of Vint to successfully spring a trap on group of kidnappers and the King of Sckellz’s private force

The Kingdo to do with the matter, but they could not close their eyes to trouble posed by the war- a neeapon called wizards

Skirdoms on countless occasions before, so Vint could not write off as none of their concern If Sckellz were to bare their fangs, which one of its surrounding kingdom would they turn it toward?

With the interests of Nayvel and Vint in alignment, they took this opportunity to declare war on Sckellz

To the north of Sckellz there was the Kingdododom would declare their intentions to support the allied forces of Nayvel and Vint

With the sea to the west, Sckellz was now surrounded by enemies on all sides No matter how specialized they were in warfare, there was simply too much of a difference in numbers

Furthermore, Nayvel and Lamme were both major powers endoith twice the territory of Sckellz

No

However, the foolish king no doubt saw none of his kingdom’s dire straits

His close aides advised hirand ae-scale warfare

By the hands of his own Order, the King of Sckellz was assassinated

It was a coup d’état

Sckellz declared its surrender the very same day, and the conflict that had spread over half the continent was over

However, even though we e-scale war, it did not dom had calmed down

Niklas has been iation were to be a conducted, I wondered if he’d receive a sentence that could be executed Of course, Hilde was also subject to punish circumstances into consideration, I believe her sentence will be hter than his

I, Rose to influence politics Secluded inside the palace with lued to me, the only recourse I had left was to wait for the current state of affairs to calm down

I could finally feel peace returning by the time half a year had passed since Lutz and Theo were abducted

My ever occupied older brother stopped by to see ht, Ahh, it’s finally over

“What…is this?”

Sweets ht as we finished up withe’d made for tea

The pastries our kingdom was familiar ere all baked sweets The cream-shaped object I held out to him was the first of its kind he had ever laid eyes on, and yet he put it in his mouth without hesitation

Christof was indeed my older brother, but at the same time he was also the first in line for the throne I voicedit first for traces of poison, but my brother declined

He put the scoop he’d taken with a silver spoon into his mouth, and turned to stone

A rare flash of emotion flickered over his expressionless face, his shock apparent to see This was the point we returned to his question from above

After gulping it down, my brother stared fixedly at what I’d served him in the shallow plate, then he looked at me

“Frozen sweets”

Yup, Lutz and I et h, so I’m not sure if it was really okay to call it vanilla flavored

Once I’d gathered the ingredients I needed, I could only think, Let’s try it and dove into the process of ic was quite difficult to fine tune If it was too cold everything froze over, and thethe air with the sound of ice breaking

Theo had less power than Lutz, but he was adept at control and was quick to succeed I reht-brown color of the baked sweets Theo had produced

Like he desperately trying not to lose out, I thought Lutz improved considerably at quite a fast pace These two truly ood combo

Like this and that, one way or another, the ice creaht it tasted delicious, but… I wonder if it wasn’t to my brother’s taste?

“Is it not to your liking?”

“No, it’s good This is merely the first time I’ve ever tasted this texture and flavor”

Scooping out another spoon, he put it in his mouth It was only a little, but I saw his eyes narrow, and I was relieved

It was an expression that said, Yes, this is truly delicious Great

At any rate, Nayvel does have frozen sweets

They froze fruit juice inside an ice house…in other words, so like sorbet

It was the same frozen sweet, but sorbet and ice cream were completely different, so I was a little worried how he’d receive it, but I’lad it turned out fine
