‘It’s tickling…’


Every time Daniel spoke softly in a low voice, it felt like it was melting from Frey’s ears.
Frey didn’t mind him hugging her from behind or saying subtle words of seduction in that state.

‘If I’m going to die soon, I’d like to die now.’

Rather, it tickled her heart to think about useless things.

however…

“So if you want to catch and eat it, you have to covet me first.”

Hearing this, Frey immediately felt that he was misunderstanding something.
So Frey grabbed his arm around her waist and turned her head.

Then, his face was in front of Frey’s, his eyes reddened and dripping with sexual energy.
Frey almost forgot the main point because she was staring at the long eyelashes and the high bridge of his nose for a long time, but she managed to open her mouth.

“If you want to catch and eat it?”

“There’s an order to catch and eat, From you.”

“….?”

“Arsene was surprised and came running.
You want to eat Vikram,”

“ah.”

When Frey realized what it was, she burst into laughter.

“Arsene doesn’t know the word ‘I want to tear it off’ yet, so he always says ‘I want to catch and eat’.
There is a scene in a storybook where a greedy monster wants to eat a rich man.”

In short, Frey just wanted to rob Vikram.
When she said that, Daniel closed his mouth like a clam.

“Besides, it shouldn’t be interpreted this way by an adult who knows what the child said ‘She wanted to catch and eat it.’”

The purple eyes quietly headed towards the distant mountains.
It was as if he was stabbed by Frey’s words when she said it smirkingly.

Daniel picked up the report he had put down on the desk a long time ago.

Soon, a low voice tickled her ear again.

“I didn’t just come and see you because of what Arsene said.”


“….”

“It bothered me.”

This atmosphere was too unfamiliar to Frey.
It was because no one had looked at her with such an ardent gaze in her past and present life.
A different kind of heat from how her mother and father looked at Frey.

‘It keeps reminding me.’

Somehow, Frey felt like she was going to keep thinking about it, so she changed the topic of conversation.

“I don’t know about anything else, but thanks to you coming, I’m sure that all Aquarines with luminous magic will be sold.”

Frey looked at the shining Aquarines.
The selling price Frey decided after head-to-head with Lina was 3 gold.
It was quite expensive for lighting, but it was not at a price that commoners could not access at all.

Once purchased, it will be used instead of candles for at least 10 years.

“Considering that a scroll with similar performance issued by the Magic Tower costs 50 gold, it is definitely competitive.”

A few days later, these Aquarines will be packaged in luxury boxes and sold under the name ‘Noon’.
It was a product name that meant that it could brighten like sunlight in broad daylight.

“For now, I’m going to put out a newspaper advertisement for pre-order sale of jewels with luminous magic through the Holt Merchant.”

“Pre-order sale?”

“Yes.
Let rumors spread.
The upper class is getting a lot of attention, so I think it will have a big ripple effect.
When everything I made is sold, I will take over the Vliette Merchant, which has been put up for sale.”

Daniel, who listened to her story while turning off and on the magic in Aquarin, continued with a much calmer voice.

“After taking over the Vliette Merchant, it would be better to investigate the people who mainly visited the Magic Tower.”

“Is it because Breck Vliette had the Fog of Fall? or-.”

“There was magic on the undead monster that I captured this time.”

‘Casting magic on a monster?’

There was only one person that came to mind at the moment.
Daniel gave the same answer as Frey thought.

“Looks like Lydia Obelir cast the magic Gelon created on the undead monsters.”

“ah…”


‘That’s right, it’s only Lydia, the transcendent of magic, who can do such a great job.’

A sigh came out of nowhere.

‘What the hell is the Duke of Gelon using his granddaughter, who is not even five years old yet?’

Suddenly, Frey remembered Lydia heard a bitter voice while looking at her, and she saw Lydia’s shrunken face.

“No matter how transcendent she is, Lydia is the same age as Damon or Arsene..
we will have to hurry up for Lydia’s sake.”

“I will cooperate as much as possible.
It’s not like the Duke of Gelon or the Magic Tower simply cast magic to make undead monsters violent.”

It was reassuring to hear Daniel Prause, no one else, say this.

‘In the first place, if it wasn’t for Daniel, I wouldn’t have known what was wrong even after seeing the undead monsters he captured.’

Lydia, who was born on the day of the prophecy, Daniel was also able to see through the wide-area magic that Gelon borrowed the power of the Transcendentalist, it was so remarkable.

“If we find out what Gelon tried to do by casting magic on the undead monster, it will help you avenge yourself.
I promise to do my best, Frey.”

It was the first time that someone outside of Frey’s family cared about her like this. 

For some reason, Frey’s heart was touched and she was about to smile brightly, so Daniel added subtly.

“So, if you’ve been preparing some nice tea, don’t give it to the wizard…”

‘Why do people in this castle believe in rumors that I make strange things and drink them as tea?’

“Don’t worry, I’ve never made such tea, and even after boiling, I drink it, so don’t worry.
In the first place, my status is Grand Duchess, so if I have someone to join me, you will first.”

‘From my point of view, it meant I never gave it to Vikram with my own hands and made any misunderstandings.’

But for some reason, Daniel had a face that realized something.

“You are right.
If you need someone to join you…After all, I will be the priority.”

A few days later, an unusual guest visited the research of the Duke of Gelon’s residence.

“Welcome to the great Duke of Gelon, who will become the owner of the empire, Anton, the master of magic Tower.”


“Okay.
Thank you for coming.”

The Duke of Gelon, who was reclining deeply in his armchair, offered Anton a seat across from him and called for his servant.

“Prepare refreshments.
The story seems to be long, so I know that.
Someone from the Vliette merchant will arrive soon, so prepare for it.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

As soon as the employee left, Anton cast soundproofing magic.

It was because it was possible to roughly guess what the Duke of Gelon, whom he had treated like a master for a long time, was deeply worried about.

“Have you been thinking about Grand Duke Fraus?”

“Yes, Because my sweet granddaughter, Lydia, gave me some bad news.”

[“Grandpa, Grand Duke Prause caught an undead monster and locked it in the mansion.”]

Lydia filtered out the necessary information and reported it to him.
Indeed, it was worthwhile to give her a high-level education worthy of a child of prophecy.

“He rejected Tahar’s alliance and now he shows us his fangs.”

Duke Gelon’s speech was calm, but it was clearly thorny.
Anton accepted the comment, thinking that he resembled the empress.

“In the end, Grand Duke Prause, who pretended to be virtuous, was also a man who fell for Frey’s temptation.
Well, you must have known everything about having two children out of wedlock.”

“Yes, Two out-of-wedlocks.”

Duke Gelon shook his throbbing head.
It was because he remembered the words his daughter, the empress, had carefully said.

[“Father.
I’m cautious about saying this, but in the process of digging into who the Grand Duke had a baby with, I found something irritating, so I’d like you to investigate.”]

[“I can do research, but… It seems that the mother of the children has an unexpectedly high status.
Or is Frey the biological mother, as the low-level rumors say?”]

[“According to research, the Grand Duke picks up abandoned children in the mansion and raises them.
Rumors that His private life is messy are lies to hide the fact.”]

[“That bastard is needlessly troublesome.”]

[“That is…The date on which the children’s biological parents gave birth to the child is the same as Lydia’s birthday.”]


‘The moment I heard that, I felt like I was hit in the head.’ 

The day the child of prophecy was appointed to be born.  It was impossible to forget the date because it was the Duke of Gelon who worked tirelessly to have the Crown Princess give birth that day.

The problem was the news that the children Daniel was suspiciously protecting might have been born that day.

‘If the information is true, there is a possibility that those children are also transcendents.’

There must be a reason why Grand Duke Prause is trying to protect them by spreading rumors.

“Your Highness, Duke of Gelon?”

“Oh, no.
I thought about something else for a while.”

It’s been a long time since he couldn’t tell Anton, who had been with him for the glory of Gelon for decades.
Duke Gelon changed the topic of conversation to calm his complicated mind.

“By the way, the Topaz research is going well, right? When do you think it will be able to contain magic power?”

When the expected subject came up, Anton automatically lowered his eyes.
He could not bear to report that nothing had been done to the duke, who had a bad expression.

‘Why on earth do you have such confidence that you can put magical power into the ordinary ore, Topaz?’

On the day after the banquet, Duke Gelon suddenly gathered all the Topaz of this world and sent them to the Magis Tower.

[“This jewel will put the imperialists out of breath, Anton.”] –with confident words.

However, after spending a lot of resources day and night, Topaz could not contain the magic.

“Sorry, Your Highness.
No matter how much I work while researching the rose quartz that contains the divine power of the merchant Holt-”

By the time he made excuses in a small voice.

Ceklek-

“Your Highness.  Someone on Vliette’s merchant has arrived.”

The duke made a gesture of permission.
Then, in just a few minutes, someone who had become emaciated beyond recognition appeared hesitantly.

Anton wanted to continue because the conversation had been cut off, but hesitated when he saw the newspaper in that person’s hand.

[‘Noon’, The jewel with luminous magic that replaces the luminous magic scroll – Now on sale for pre-order through the Holt Merchant!]
