Chapter 51 – #050 Florian

Serenity.

A place so dark and dark that even the abyss falls asleep.

A deep sea where no noise can be heard other than the occasional beating, and where even countless fish are reluctant to come down.

Suddenly, a small light flickered there.

It was a huge ship… One that had not been maintained for so long that moss and coral had taken root in various places.

Did it sink in an accident a long time ago?

But strangely enough, it was swimming very slowly in the dark sea.

As if it were alive and moving on its own.

And the light was coming from right above the ship.

“You, beautiful Pheasant. Where has your flowery appearance gone? You, beautiful Pheasant. Where has your oriole-like voice gone…”

A mournful voice.

A tone so faint that even the soul resonates softly in the deep sea.

In that sweet and sad tune, sadness settled heavily in the deep sea.

But the singing voice did not continue any longer.

No, it couldn’t continue.

This is because the sand on the bottom of the deep sea suddenly floated upward, causing the entire ocean to shake.

“Has another year already passed?”

Looking at the sand filling the entire deep sea, Inyoung, who was singing, turned the rudder she was holding.

A ship making a scary turn.

It soon moved in one direction at a speed that was completely different from before.

***

Florian is a special city.

This is because temperature control magic is always in effect throughout this territory.

So, even though it is located in the southern part of the country during hot summers, it is cooler than the capital, Castellia.

However, it was not like this from the beginning.

It dates back to the time when the new continent was discovered across the sea.

As the empire was established and the western part of the Maginas Continent was roughly pacified, the emperor turned his attention to various places.

However, he could not find a suitable place to wage war.

Argentina, a powerful eastern country, needed information collection, and the Icecrown Kingdom in the north was so cold that it was difficult to manage even if it was occupied.

As a result, the emperor at the time spent money in Joseon to send many people to the sea, which was the beginning of the Age of Exploration.

Many people went to sea, and many did not return.

However, there were many who took on the challenge.

As the empire actively supported it, it was a quick hit if it achieved results.

However, about 5 years passed without anyone discovering anything significant.

Just when everyone was giving up and wasting away, one person appeared with amazing achievements…

“That is the first Violet matriarch.”

“Violet? That family that was downgraded to commoners?”

“Yes.”

Perhaps because my story was interesting, the princess, Bella, and even Tanya listened closely and focused on me.

This is because although they knew roughly the affairs of the Florian Estate, they did not know its specific history.

That’s right… The main figure in history at that time was the Violet family.

The first head of the family discovered a new continent inhabited by different races and became a baron, but due to a fatal curse he acquired during his adventure, he was later downgraded to a commoner.

The problem is that there is no way in this empire that revolves around the nobles and the imperial family to record the history of the commoners… So it was deleted entirely.

– That’s really great. Nobles and royal family… But how did you know?

‘Fortunately, there were records in the Violet family’s library and the magic tower.’

At the time, I was researching the ‘blue night sea’ phenomenon, and through earnest requests, I was able to check records from the time that had disappeared and been buried.

“As exchanges with other races opened and trade took place actively… As the princess knows, the emperor at the time designated this place as a special city.”

“And what followed as a by-product was the blue film visible above this sky.”

“Exactly.”

I look up at the sky.

A subtle blue curtain surrounds the entire city.

Maybe that’s why it wasn’t that hot, unlike the hot sun shining down on it.

“By the way, princess. Have you thought about what your thesis will be like?”

“Hmm. That’s right.”

She has a confident face.
What on earth did you decide to do that made you look like that?

However, the moment I heard it, my mouth dropped open in bewilderment…

“Learn about elf magic…”

“Hey, princess?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Even though this place is Florian, you know that it’s hard to see elves, right?”

“I know.”

“Do you even know that you shouldn’t wield any power over them?”

The surprised princess.

He looks like he had no idea.

“Um, is this really true?”

“Yes. That is the first condition they ask for when interacting with us. They ask for free will to be guaranteed. Of course, if you cause an accident, you can be arrested, but you will also be tried in their own country.”

In other words, no coercive attempts can be made.

The princess expressed her disapproval.

“Well, then, how about having a conversation? If I can persuade you with words…”

“The average age of an elf is 400-500. Not only are they not easy enough to be persuaded with words, but sensitive things like magic will not be taught easily.”

The princess’s shoulders slumped.

Her facial expression also turned quite pitiful, so it seems like she had quite high expectations.

“How about we just pinpoint a creature that lives around here and investigate?”

“I understand…”

So we headed to the sea for our thesis.

Accompanied by three escort knights, including Tanya, he slowly walks along the coast.

On the white sandy beach, numerous nobles were sitting and enjoying the sea.

Of course, most of them were young ladies or children.

Maybe that’s why they didn’t recognize Princess Reina.

Of course, I recognized Bella.

“Look over there. Isn’t that him? That Hardrence’s beauty…”

“That’s right, that’s right. Hey, watch your mouth. If you make a mistake, you will die.”

He was whispering so much that it made even me and the escort knights who were walking together uncomfortable.

Actually, the person in question must have received such attention a lot, and just smiled and looked at me.

“Princess, are you okay?”

“What?”

“What people around me say…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay~ You only die once anyway, so it’s best to just stop caring about whether you’ll be a spectacle or get criticized and live comfortably~”

Well, I don’t know what to say.

However, it seems that the princess who heard the story can no longer bear to see it.

Have Tanya warn you.

Knights who are killing those around them.

As a result, those who were chatting quickly became quiet.

“Oh… That’s okay~”

“No. If you leave something like this, it will only fester further.”

“Huh~ But why are you suddenly helping me, Princess Reina?”

When Bella let out her signature laugh and snuggled up next to the princess, she closed her eyes and answered as if it was no big deal.

“I think I will be with you from now on, whether I like it or not, because I can’t bear to see someone like that being talked about by others.”

“Well, the princess and I are the pillar sisters of Kayle…”

Crazy. I quickly threw myself forward.

Me rolling around on the white sand beach.

Seeing that, everyone who was traveling with me paid attention to me.

‘What happened?’

– I stopped talking. It seems like no one heard it.

Ugh… I really can’t let my guard down at all, Bella.

This is the moment when it becomes understandable that Pellermill is having a hard time.

“Are you okay, Kale?”

“Are you okay?”

“Ah… Yes. I just twisted my step and fell. It’s no big deal.”

Tanya looks at me with pathetic eyes on such a day.

Aria, who was sitting on her shoulder, also sighs lightly.

It seemed like she knew why I was like that.

“Why on earth does the princess cherish a man like this…”

Hey, can you hear everything?

Still, it was much better than before.

When I see you coming towards me and extending your hand.

The princess and the princess look at this with envious eyes.

They had eyes to see, so they couldn’t even bend down.

Of course, Bella tried to do it, but when the princess pinched her arm, she realized it and instead pouted her lips.

I hold Tanya’s hand.

As I swing the sword, I can feel the hard palm.

A texture that cannot be felt by a woman’s hand.

– This bitch’s anus tastes amazing.

‘How do you know that?’

– I’ve been swinging a sword my whole life, so my butt-biting power is no joke.

At the same time, when she was active, she ate up everyone who lived here.

Ugh. I am so proud.

– Are you going to work on it this time?

‘Okay. Let’s try it based on the situation, and if it doesn’t work out, let’s at least make some progress.’

– Great! Ah, I’m already looking forward to it. Anal from a female knight of the strongest knight order in the empire~

She, who had no idea what we were up to, patted the sand off my shoulders and top.
She hasn’t given birth to a child yet, so she doesn’t show the kind nature of a married woman, but her knightly side doesn’t seem to be bad.

“Thank you, Tanya.”

“No. By the way, Cale, I want to ask you something.”

She suddenly came close to me and asked.
She tried to ask a question, but when she got focused, she said…

“When he’s doing his business, he always hides. Are all cats like that?”

“Ah… Um. I don’t know.”

That’s because the cat on your shoulder is a person, right?

However, Tanya, who did not know that fact, jokingly said that Aria pooping would be cute too.

How can you not see it?

Aria, who heard the story together, slaps Tanya with her front paw and jumps at me.

And despite Tanya’s apology, she didn’t leave my embrace.

It looks like his pride has been hurt.

“Ariya, I’m sorry about your sister~”

Meow. I don’t even look at it.
