Chapter 19

Edited by Kirindas

Promise 1

“Poison or what, I don’t really understand myself . I always was inside of royal palace working, always learning manners or studying there was no time to understand anything about the house… . ”

Vain Frontier Count didn’t suspect my word’s .

“Is that so? I thought could there be a thing to become a magician, special poison or something . To tell the truth, even with the knights who brought this man, it was hard for us to deal with him, but now I understand the reason why it was so complicated for us . ”

Vain Frontier region tends to have land that is more likely to be involved in conflict . They tend to use intelligence agents to watch over the surrounding area and suspicious individuals entering and leaving . By doing so, they quickly learn about which country came to explore the situation in their territory, and judge whether invasion will come along with circumstances or will they make a deal .

“It turned out that some intelligence agents in the castle were killed . I have hurriedly arranged a different person to strengthen the surveillance, but two people seem to have killed a knight who was with this guy . And two of the others have been found to be burned to death…It seems that Count Patriciel knows the way of making magicians and invaded our territory . ”

The main point of his question was about Patricièl’s Count’s knowledge . The red drink is probably not a poison but a special medicine that produces magicians .

While listening, I felt crisp powdery feeling on my tongue . That sweet and sour drink was mixed with a powder like sand . I think that the mixed powder remained melted, but I remembered it well because it was so uncomfortable .  However, I don’t even know the identity of the drink . So again, I shook my head to Vain Frontier Count .

“Okay … … . ”

“But it is certain that Earl Patrièl came up with a way to make magicians . In some way or another this man had killed our intelligence agents . There are too many magicians that he has up his sleeve . ”

Reggie who had been silent, quietly concludes the problem .

And I also nod to his words . Perhaps there is a reason why Kiara Credius of the game became a magician . That is because the Count of Patricièl knows how to make one .

And I noticed another thing . It’s two years from the siege of Evral . Even though I was beyond the border, could it be said that I had advanced to the nearest point without noticing it? If you think that guards and intelligence agents who were going over the border, etc . were killed in some way . The enemies were already in tune .

Those who watched the trend were killed after two years, so I could guess that they didn’t notice . To me who had been thinking about such a thing, the Vein Frontier Count said

“You can return already . ”

“Sorry it had to be so late at night . If we have any question, then we would need to ask you again . So please cooperate . Also, His Excellency Reginald get some rest today . ”

That was said, so I and Reggie left the dungeon . There was Mr . Groul, the escort of Reggie . I am relieved to see Mr . Groul who is standing properly with no injuries on him .

“I’m glad that you are safe”

Mr . Groul blinked his eyes a bit in a surprise, nodded small and thanked me .

“Thank you for your consideration . ”

In the meantime, I said my greetings and tried to get back to the room quickly . The thing’s I couldn’t properly tell to Reggie today, I was thinking of pointing out more crucial moments in the story of two years later . On the other hand it’s impossible right now…

After hearing the story of the man just now… … I am afraid that I can be considered as a danger . I’ll tell him more information when everything is settled .

“Then Reggie . I am going to ……”

“Groul . Before I go back to my room, I’m going to lead Kiara to her room . ”

“I understand . ”

Before I could part with him, Reggie tagged along with me . My shoulder’s stiffened and I felt uncomfortable going with Reggie . If I think about it, there was a time before when I couldn’t calm down near Reggie . I wonder why . Even if I try to distract this uncomfortable silence with some stupid story, my mouth becomes heavy when I think Groul is listening .

Reggie is the Prince after all .

I can’t talk to him like I always do when we are alone . This life’s knowledge tells me I can’t refuse the other party . I noticed that compared to my previous self, I’m considerably more corroded .  Still, it is unnatural to break it down now . As a result, I arrived in front of the room without saying anything fancy, but I did feel relieved because I did not say anything stupid .

Well this time next time I will tell Reggie off .

“Okay Reggie good ni … …”

“We need to talk .  Groul it’s difficult, but you have to wait outside”

Reggie who said so with a smile gets into my room from the door I opened halfway .  

Heeei! Reggie! You can’t enter the room without permission! No, Today I was taking orders from Count to take a rest, so the room is untidy … . But what about going into the girl’s room at midnight?

“Hei! Reggie !”

I too entered the room while raising my voice, confused as to what I should say to the smiling Reggie standing at the door .

“Well, it’s already so late at night . Aren’t you tired? Tomorrow, let’s continue with the talk?”

He gently entered the door I kept open, and with the loud slam . He closed it heartlessly .

“Eh ……”

Reggie, you . Firstly we are not yet adults but teens in the midst of puberty . Even though the guard is standing watch outside the room, right now we are alone in a locked room . What is he trying to do?

Reggie who didn’t consider my behavior gazed at me emotionlessly .

When I retreated unintentionally, my back hit the door .

And then Reggie did an unimaginable thing, he grabbed both of my shoulders tightly pressing me to the door…

“Wh . . wh-what?”

What the hell is he doing!? I want to say so, but my mouth does not turn well in this unusual situation .

Reggie stood smiling, illuminated by the only candlestick light in the room . Hei! I’m scared! In a lot of ways!

“I think that we should discuss everything today, while you are trembling and feeling pressured . It would be easier for you to spill everything out . ”

“Huh!”

Wait a moment . For this reason, he immediately made a situation where we were going to be in a room alone . Just after seeing the state of subordinates of Count Patricièl! What?

“It seemed not to be a good story to tell Groul, so I decided to hold back . But between us, we have no secrets, right Kiara?”

He also excluded Groul from the room to make it easier to spill the beans . How did he come up with such a wicked idea!?

“You are so wicked Reggie! “

I instinctively say this, but Reggie did not change his mind .

“Kiara”

He turns into a serious look quickly, he puts some power into the hands grasping my shoulders .

“How and where did you know the things of two years later that you warned me about?”

“Well, uh … From my dream …”

I said the same thing before .

“Weren’t you too confident for it to be just a dream?”

“Well, in fact, I have learned of Jeremiah at church school … …”

“Considering that you ignore the time of prayer in the morning and evening completely, even at the meal time, your prayers are very apathetic . ”

“Well …”

The reason why this couldn’t deceive him was all because of my behavior . Surely I was being a sample of the unbeliever . Especially with my previous life, I’m from the beginning not very religious …… .

Because if there were Gods as the Church says, I would be staying with members of my original family, and not be adopted by the likes of Patriciel .

Even more so if it’s an artificial goddess, systematic existence, I can’t believe it even in slightest . It is easy to convince me that I have a memory of a previous life in another world, as a result of an error caused by a malfunction . It is easy to understand if you think that the sound of the goddess’s whistle is an error signal for me . To such a me, Reggie did not relax his pursuit .

After saying “Did you lie to me? You can’t trust me to such an extent?”

The facial expressions of Reggie are somewhat sadly distorted . I feel painful as if he grabbed my heart . Because I felt it hurt his feelings .

“It’s not because I can’t …”

Reggie keeps pursuing me, who said this unexpectedly .

“Is it something you are scared of, that’s why you can’t talk?’

I couldn’t say it to him . Because if he comes to know those things, I may end up like that man in the prison . I can’t let him see me this way…… . I do not want to be hated . That is the scariest thing .

“Are you afraid of me? Or the topic?”

Reggie was repeating questions, He let out a sigh and gave up me who tried to not open my mouth hard .

“Kiara, you are frightened, so let me do something that will make you think talking is not so scary?”

“Eh!”

I am surprised at how he changed his plans . Could he want to wring my neck? It is like being slashed by a sword . A scary imagination circles around my mind .

But scary feelings cannot be wiped .

Something touched my cheeks when I was stumbled and couldn’t respond . It is soft and didn’t hurt the skin, to this sensation I blink .

No way, just now was it … . lips!?

The moment I noticed that my cheek was kissed . I was weak enough to sit down . As if he aimed there, Reggie whispered .

“Should I change the question, were you trying to find out various things so that you can become magician yourself?”

“How did you notice it? ”

How can he understand to this extent? After his question, I gulped in air . I’m finished . It’s as good as affirming it!

In the first place, Reggie has done such seductive techniques! I mean, how does he know how to do this? Reggie! I am 15 years old and I’m scared!

Reggie looked on with a smile at my face . My mind is in chaos .

“And to find out about the stone that was passed by thorn princess, you weren’t as scared as you wanted to appear . Rather you cared only about magicians, and eagerly investigated this topic?”

That’s why he thought I was strange . And seeing my state after the death of magician before, he thought about the possibility .

What a smart person he is, I groaned .

How did this smart person get killed so easily … No, no . It was BECAUSE he is smart, I realize that the Queen thought of him as a hindrance .

“People who could become magicians were scarce . Even though you didn’t know if you can become one, you were convinced that you are going to become a magician in two years . That’s why you said you will protect me, right? ”

What a foolish thing I blurt out! I want to go back and complain to myself .

But coming all this way, he has good insight . With my head, I can’t deceive him .

At last, I am ready .

“That red drink, I have some knowledge about it, because… . . I too had to drink it”
