Robert looked around him.
"Please, save ..."
He had killed most of the necromancers, but a few remained.
Those who didn't resist, trembling with fear.
Robert did not kill those who did not resist.
There was no need to kill those who had already lost the will to fight.
He approached one of the won.
"Please... spare my life..."
"Have you been in contact with Perrian Astria?"
"What?"
Perrian had returned to the capital, but he wouldn't just leave this place alone.
He intended to make sure the laboratory was running as usual.
"Are you in contact or not?"
As Robert repeated the question, the woman in front of him nodded her head up and down.
"Yes, yes! We have been in constant contact!"
"Who was in charge of that role?"
"That... that person over there..."
Robert looked where she was pointing.
It was the man he had just killed.
He used to be in charge here, but now he was in no state to rise again.
Robert sighed.
"Then there's no choice. You'll take over the communication."
"?"
"Yes, Perrian must believe that everything here is still running normally. Can you do that?"
"I'll do it!"
"Also, clean up everything here. Release all the people you've captured, and burn all the experint records."
"The experint records...!"
"Don't like it?"
Robert looked at her with a nacing gaze.
"I'll do it!"
"Good. And don't think about escaping from here. The mont you try to leave, you'll die."
"Understood!"
Robert said this and moved on.
'No one will co to check this place other than Perrian.'
Unless Perrian was insane, he wouldn't have inford his associates about such an incident.
If soone ntioned they were harboring a necromancer, they would be arrested imdiately.
So as long as they exchanged letters properly, there was no way to know the state of this place.
As Robert stepped outside.
A woman was waiting for him.
"Hello?"
The woman, her eyes covered with black cloth.
She was the saint, Haruna.
"Why are you here?"
Robert narrowed his eyes at Haruna.
"It would be inappropriate to go inside, wouldn't it? Even if I can't see the brutal scene, I can guess what's happening from the sounds and slls."
Haruna smiled and tapped her covered eyes.
"That's not what I'm asking."
"Just a joke~. It's a bit awkward if you react like that."
Robert furrowed his brow.
"Drop the tasteless jokes. Why are you here? There's even less reason for a saint to be here alone."
"I've been traveling alone these days. Given the situation, it's too dangerous for the temple people."
"The current situation?"
"Aryandor. He must be grinding his teeth thinking about ."
The temple had beco corrupt.
Aryandor, the leader of the rebels, could go as far as take the life of the saint if the temple was paid enough.
Robert nodded in understanding.
"Alright, being alone is one thing. But why are you here?"
"Well... I ca to tell you so stories about the past and the future, Robert."
"To ?"
"About Levian and Rudy. I'll tell you their stories. And then."
Haruna smiled.
"After you've heard everything, you can write the current story."

As soon as the study was sowhat organized, I dressed appropriately and boarded the carriage.
"Head to the Mayer family."
Normally, when visiting another family, it's polite to inform them in advance.
But there was an issue with following that procedure.
'There was a promise I made with Count Mayer in the past, wasn't there?'
Sothing Perrian had said.
That I, in the past, had promised to marry Karen.
Count Mayer had ntioned it to Perrian because of that promise.
My head began to throb.
Although it was a story from my childhood, noble marriages often involve engagents from a young age, so it wasn't sothing to be dismissed lightly.
Therefore, I had to hurry to the Mayer household.
If I waited, Perrian might proceed with the wedding.
From Perrian's perspective, it would be more advantageous to marry soone from the Mayer family rather than soone close to .
So I had to reach an agreent with the Mayer family before Perrian could proceed without anyone knowing.
"Young master Rudy, we have arrived."
With the coachman's words, I stepped out of the carriage.
Then Count Mayer rushed out to the front of the carriage.
"Young master Rudy? What brings you here..."
The robust middle-aged Count Mayer, though charismatic, wore a bewildered expression.
"Count Mayer, good to see you. I apologize for visiting without notice. I ca to discuss sothing important."
"Sothing to discuss?"
"About a marriage proposal."
As I said this, Count Mayer's expression hardened.
"Would you co inside? I dont have anything prepared, but lets have a cup of tea."
"Yes, thank you."
I followed Count Mayer into the mansion.
"About the wedding... What did you co to discuss?"
I closed my eyes for a mont and then looked at Count Mayer.
"I want to cancel this marriage engagent."
"...The engagent?"
Count Mayer's eyes widened.
"Is there... a problem? With our Mayer family... or, perhaps Karen..."
His voice was full of panic.
Usually, canceling an engagent implies a significant issue with the other party.
I understood why Count Mayer was so alard.
"There's no problem with the Mayer family or Karen."
In fact, in this situation, I was the problematic one.
Count Mayer had only proceeded with an existing engagent, and I was trying to stop it.
"Then how about postponing the engagent for a while?"
"I think it would be better to cancel it. For Karen's sake, and for the Mayer family's... Oh, but that's not to say I intend to snub the Mayer family.
I am well aware of how earnestly you've been helping ."
"That's not the reason."
"What?"
"Our Karen is very fond of you, Young master Rudy. It seed she had made up her mind after seeing you this ti. That's why we wanted to proceed with the engagent again."
I wondered if I should not have acted in front of Karen.
It seed my poor acting had co back to haunt .
This made think that people say not to lie for a reason.
"So, please reconsider canceling the wedding. This is not as the head of the Mayer family, but as a father asking you."

I returned to my family ho and stared at the ceiling.
Upon reflection, ti would solve this problem.
Karen was fond of the original Rudy Astria, not .
The situation arose because I had acted in front of her; now, I just needed to stop acting.
So, I made a separate agreent with Count Mayer.
When Karen gave up on , that's when we would cancel the engagent.
After all, ti would take care of it.
When I t Karen, I would just need to show her the real .
"Well, that issue is sowhat resolved, and now..."
What remained was to train in spatial magic.
I had gained so understanding of spatial magic.
I grasped the frawork of space and could see new realms.
Yet, I lacked the ability to apply it.
The spatial magic I knew involved things like spatial slicing or teleportation.
Applying spatial magic ant influencing this frawork.
Spatial slicing could be predicted as cutting through this frawork.
But how does teleportation work? That was my biggest question.
In fact, teleportation and ti magic didn't seem very different.
The concept of 'transferring' was the sa in both.
I slowly recalled my fight with Aryandor.
Aryandor used ti magic, and his form disappeared.
This concept of 'disappearing' was the issue.
Typically, in teleportation magic, the form doesn't disappear.
One might be visually deceived into thinking it has disappeared, but in a situation where one is aware of spatial magic, that shouldn't happen.
So what had Aryandor done to cause such an event?
No, let's not look too far ahead.
I need to understand the basics first.
Spatial magic is not a magic that occurs in the physical world.
It's magic that influences an invisible realm.
I mustn't forget that aspect.
"So spatial slicing is..."
Literally magic that slices through space? But I couldn't think of a way to slice through space.
I could only perceive space but did not know how to influence it.
"I wonder if I should visit my uncle..."
Then a fact suddenly struck .
Perrian.
Perrian was in this mansion.
If there was soone here who could teach spatial magic, there was no need to seek out my uncle.
Moreover, Perrian was soone who could actually use spatial magic.
He could show examples, making him a better teacher than my uncle.
With this in mind, I moved towards the office.
