63 Episode 59: The Value of Anisphere (1/2)

”See, Caind?”

When I stopped thinking, Lord Grants called to Caindkun so.

Caindo-kun also has a flashing face about whether he hasn't caught up with his thoughts. If Lord Grants speaks to me, I will hack and turn my gaze to Lord Grants. But I immediately bit my lips and leaned down.

”Even Princess Anisphere is not properly educated as a royalty, is she? He pulled back on the understanding that if he showed talent poorly, he could even overshadow Prince Algard's advantage. And I showed it to my surroundings by leaning towards a study called Magic. The royals behave in concealment of their talents.”

”... it”

”Furthermore, I pursued the cause of my inability to use magic on my own, and even found the prospect of solving it myself. Spirituality and talent to do this from childhood. Furthermore, the invention of magical alternative technologies that can be used by civilians. Do you have any idea how unusual this is?

I feel itchy when I get complimented again.... but I pull myself off a bit when I get lined up again. I wonder if you were so afraid from the eyes around you, I want to tell myself to mind the eyes around you for a second. I can't tell you about Yufi, either, can I?

Even though that was the purpose, it makes me think it worked better than I thought it would. I'm going to have a bitter laugh at this.

”Still, Princess Anisphere can stand as king in the bend. Don't you find that talent horrible?

……

”It is a particular point to say that Princess Anisphere does not have enough character as a royalty. But that is the royal standard in the Kingdom of Palettia standards. What if she was the head of another country, or a force that could rival another country? What if I've been waging a battle to keep a palletian kingdom rich in spiritual resources in my hands? Even if civilians don't say so much about nobility, they come to exercise their magic, right?

... Ugh, yeah. That does scare you, doesn't it? I've only made magic tools from the perspective of making it convenient for everyone, but I could make something more vicious if it were to be used entirely as force.

The advantages of magic props are that they can be used by anyone and that mass production is possible as long as resources are available. And easy to handle. You just have to get used to it. If you spread it to the military, that's the only way you can get a bottom up.

Miguel did say something similar. If you look at me as a virtual enemy, you know exactly how vicious I am. Lord Grants says he was putting me in danger, but it's his own business, and I'm convinced.

Even I know the dangers of magic.... No, I guess I meant to understand. Perhaps it was more dangerous from around. I've been paying attention to the dangers of technology, but I may not have thought enough about it until after it became popular.

”Well, then why is Princess Anisphere in such a low position?!?”

”Because that's what Princess Anisphere wanted, and it was our plot. Princess Anisphere's invention is wonderful. But it can shake the very foundation of the kingdom. It took time to embrace Princess Anisphere's magic in our country, where she has developed her magical faith as the Lord. It's not enough to allow spills to other countries.”

After saying all that, Lord Grants tells him to sharpen his vicious eyeballs.

”And why? Why did you say that? Caind, that's why I pointed out that my eyes were cloudy. Flushed by rumors around me, I can't use magic, I don't have enough wielding as a royalty. That's all you unconsciously look at Princess Anisphere as an understatement. That's why you can't see the secret truth about Princess Anisphere.”

”Ku......!

”Being able to use magic is the symbol of aristocratic authority. This country has long flourished in its hearts with its values. Indeed Princess Anisphere is rightly heretical. But what the people want is not authority, it's merit. Don't get me wrong about that. The people find authority in their achievements because they build up their achievements. What the hell do you think you can beat Princess Anisphere right now?

Caindo-kun has fallen prey to harsh reprimands. No, Lord Grants is unforgiving......

Lord Grants turned his gaze to me as I was feeling somewhat unhappy. And I thought I closed my eyes, and I bowed my head deeply. Yeah!? Hey!?

”Gu, Lord Grants! Keep your head up!

”No. This is my mess. I was afraid of you as a child, and your fangs jeopardized your journey to the country. It is undoubtedly true that I secretly turned my hand and helped to isolate you. And now, if this country wants you, it will give you back your hands. This iniquity must be right.”

”But that's only if you think of the country, right? I didn't want the country to be rough. I myself do not seek honor or status. So even if they say so...”

”... Dear Anis”

As he awoke, Yufi called me in a low roaring voice. I trembled unexpectedly.

Looking at the fearful Uffi, there was a Uffi staring at Lord Grants in his shapes until he was horrible and he was about to scream.

”... Master Anis can be angrier.”

”Oh, no, even if they say I'm angry...”

I don't care if you say that. No, I'm really in trouble!? You're more angry with Yufi!? Why is Yufi angrier than I am!?

Seeing how I was still in a hurry, Yufi exhaled deeply as she rubbed her brows loose. Hey, what's up?

”That's why I'm saying you're too kind. Your father... this man is a good person for your disability, isn't he? I know it's for the country. Even if you understand, don't be so easily convinced. This man was clearly your enemy.”

”And enemies are huge...”

”... No, Uffi is right. My loyalty was dedicated to His Majesty Orphanth. It was never dedicated to you. In that regard, it was difficult for you to deal with both your allies and your enemies. Therefore, it was honestly my intention to stroke my chest down that I was being held in a cage away from the palace. That's the man I thought he was. Never on your side.”

”That's what politics is, isn't it? That's so angry...? No, there's something I wanted too, and I'm not so scared that I'm going to get angry...”

So Lord Grants has been treating me seriously as a political opponent since I was a kid!? That fact scares me more and I'm not talking about getting angry anymore! Stop it already! That's the total surrender of the white flag!?

”And there's no reason to argue with Lord Grants...”

”Happy for your disabling?

”So he said he wasn't dissatisfied there. And that's what royalty is all about...?

”... you surprise me at all. I have raised you from the bottom of my heart to admire your majesty and queen.”

Yuffi has frowned at me looking unconvinced somewhere. Yes, that's fine. Because I'm saying I'm good. Don't be mad, you don't know what to do with me...

”... what do you say, Caind”

”... Father”

”Sometimes I don't know unless I try to exchange words. It's not a good idea just to turn hostile because you're an enemy. You have to take a good look at them and get what you get. That's what we need in the political world.”

Caind-kun drops without help to Lord Grants' words. Ugh, uhh, I can't watch you for a second. Even though Magenta family communication is bad for my heart!

”But now you don't have any more reason for Kaindo-kun to make a mistake with Yufi, do you? When I'm adopted, I won't be your sister, but in the future, I just need to be active in relation to the king and his subordinates. If it was originally raised that way, it would fit in the sheath. I don't think that's a bad thing...”

So you're not just depressed like that, are you? I'm going to tell Caindo because I want to, but Caindo doesn't say anything just to look at me with a frigid eye.

Ugh, and I don't know how to treat boys my age! What am I supposed to do?

”... I was looking down on you, wasn't I?

”Huh? Oh, yeah. But don't you have a choice? It's a shame you can't use magic, isn't it?

”On the contrary, I thought it was royal defilement”

”No, it's true that it was actually disgraceful...”

”You were acting like you knew that, right? I was manipulating my impressions by putting all sorts of ideas around it.”

”... well, yeah. Yeah, but.”

When I answered, Kaindo-kun shook his head left and right without force. And take a deep sigh and hold your head.

”... you especially pointed out that you only saw the upper side, Father. I'm sorry for being such an impudent son.”

”Uhm. The time left is short, but learn and refine. Times will change dramatically from now on. Encourage them not to be left behind by the changes of their time. Or I'll just be ashamed.”

”... I'll carve it on my chest”

Kaindo-kun nodded to Lord Grants with a strange look on his face, then turned his gaze to me again and bowed his head.

”I am ashamed of our unknown. I'm sorry, Princess Anisphere.”

”... ok. I'll take that apology. If you feel ashamed, I want you to do your best as successor to the Duke's family in the future. That's all I want from you.”

”... Yes”

Caindo-kun squeals so that he doesn't lift his head and bites it off. I can bow my head from unexpected people today, it's somehow complicated.

I don't want you to apologize for anything. I didn't want to spread magic. If you could use it to bring the country together, it would have been worth it for me to be there.

Okay, let's settle this one down.

Pan, I slapped my hand and Mrs. Nerschel told me to get some air in.

”This is what happened today, and let's get some rest. Princess Anisphere has just returned from her journey.”

”Thank you for your concern. So, which room should I rest in...”

”Oh? Can I have Yuffi's room, please?

…………

”Right?”

Right? It's not! I tried to protest unintentionally and Yufi pressured me to shut me up. Ugh...! The Duke of Magenta house scared Yikes......!

After being told to disperse, I was captured by Uffi and taken to Uffi's room. For some reason, I felt like Donna. They're going to sell it...

How did this happen!

After I was taken to Yuffi's room, I kept being pillowed by Yuffi. After the maids quickly finished dressing me, I was thrown into bed by Ufi to this day.

Yufi is holding me tight and burying my face without saying anything. I can't see the look on my face because of it. I was scattering an aura that I could see was just obviously grumpy, and I got in trouble.

I don't think I've ever seen Yuffi expose his grievances so far. I stroke my head wondering if this is also the effect of spiritualization.

”... Why isn't Anis angry?”

”Talk about that again?

I finally laughed bitterly at the words Yufi shrugged. Yuffi's dissatisfaction seems to be with what Lord Grants did to me. To be more precise, I suppose you're angry that I didn't say anything dissatisfied when it was revealed.

But you can't remember how angry Lord Grants said you were. I know you're scared. Because Lord Grants' purpose and mine are not competing. There's no place for Lord Grants to think of just chills in the fact that they were just rolling over his palms.

”... you would have been angry if I had been in Anis's shoes, wouldn't you?

”Ugh...”

... that may not be denied. But you can't be mad at something you can't be mad at, so I want you to give me a break.

”... I know. I know you're like that. But I'm anxious. That's how you keep giving in and worrying.”

”... I wonder. So if we're all happy and we don't have to contend, is it sweet to think I'm happy too?

”Sweet.”

”You just cut it off!?”

”First of all, if you're not happy, you can't.”

Yufi's hand holds my hand. My heart bounces hard on my hand held to tangle my fingers.

Uffi's face, finally raised, was full of worry. He looks at me like he's anxiously shaking his eyes and complaining.

”Do you really think you're happy, too? You are likely to cut off even your happiness and give it to others… I know that is your virtue. But I saw your father today and changed my mind. Some people take advantage of it.”
