“My lifespan is ten years shorter.”
Fortunately, there was no one at the entrance to the palace site.
This was the farthest place that I exactly know the road among the places from Noble State Field.
I looked around quietly, tightening my chest, whether Iker would co after or the monster.
‘Why aren’t there any guards?’
As soon as I turned my eyes, I found the body of a stationary guard who fell to the ground and did not move.
After I found it, for a while, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut up.
“Everyone’s already……..”
I couldn’t bear to say that.
My heart pounded.
There has been a disturbing thought that Cassius might have already beco like that.
“No, get a hold of yourself.”
I murmured, hitting my cheeks hard to the point where my tears slightly ca off.
It wasn’t the right ti to be like this.
‘Is he still in the palace?’
I thought so at first, but on second thought, I didn’t think so.
If Cassius found out that Iker had staged a coup, it was clear that he would pick up at Noble State Field.
If I head to the imperial palace, there is a good chance that the two of us would cross paths with each other.
‘If it’s a Noble State Field, I don’t have to walk because I know the path exactly.’
I was going to teleport there.
Even if I arrived at Noble State Field and t a monster, there was no problem.
I don’t have to use fla magic, I just have to avoid the mont with dynamic magic.
‘This mana is really….. should I say that I am cursed or blessed?’.’
In the anti, at the imperial palace, I heard that people other than the imperial family couldn’t use teleportation magic, so I did not even try.
But the mont Cassius’s words ca to mind, I thought maybe I could be an exception to the rule.
My mana had unusually strong power.
Besides, my mana was simply exceeded than the royal family.
‘Looking at that, it was said that sotis prisoners broke the magical restrictions and used magic in prison.’
So I concluded that I might be free to use teleportation magic away from Iker’s restrictions.
As a result, my prediction was right.
‘It’s temporary, but there’s also a way to avoid monsters, so let’s go get him quickly.’
It was just then.
There was a rustling sound from the shrub next to the entrance and soone stepped on the leaf.
Surprised, I imdiately put myself on alert.
Is it the monster?
It could have been a monster or a subordinate of Iker who carried out the coup.
Either way, I was thinking of moving to Noble State as soon as I confird it.
After a while, I heard a rustling sound a few more tis.
It seed that an adventurer had approached a tall shrub.
‘What the hell…….’
I waited for the creature to appear, which I could not handle with myself.
Then the creature rose through the shrubs.
‘No way.’
The creature, which had completely escaped the shrub, looked like a familiar golden tiger.
“Cassius!”
Tears covered my eyes.
I ran straight and hugged the tiger’s neck.
Cassius, who soon lifted the transformation magic and returned to the human form, wrapped his arms around my neck.
“Yerine, I’ve been looking for you…….”
Cassius spoke in a voice that seed to burst into tears at any mont.
“Thank God, I’m so glad. I’m afraid you’ve already been caught by Iker….”
“I’m fine, Cassius.”
I barely let go of his hug and looked around Cassius’ face and body.
There were minor abrasions on his face and arms, but fortunately, he did not seem to have suffered any serious injuries.
“Cassius, are you okay? Are you hurt sowhere?”
“I’m not hurt, I’m fine. What about you?
“I’m fine, too. Did you run into a monster?”
“Yeah. Fortunately, I’ve only t the weak ones, so I’ve co out pretty well.”
Cassius turned his head and looked at the entrance to the palace and talked.
“I don’t think I’ve had a transformation this long.”
“Cassius, let’s get out from here. If you had maintained the transformation magic for so long….”
“I agree, but I’m fine, Yerine, so don’t worry.”
Saying so, Cassius frowned.
“I never knew the sll of blood was this disgusting.”
He said, rubbing his nose until it turned red.
“I don’t want to take it again.”
He looked at the door of the palace again and talked.
His eyes were filled with sorrow and regret.
“Cassius, Iker, I an, the Crown Prince….”
I couldn’t bear to continue.
Really, I wanted to ask if it was true that the emperor was dead.
I wanted to know what happened in the imperial palace.
But I couldn’t do that.
“Right, Yerine.”
Cassius stood up from his seat and said. His voice was shaking like that.
“Iker killed them all. My father and mother.”
The phrase “killed them all” sounded so empty.
“I saw the monster’s trail before I headed to the main palace. By the ti I arrived, no one had survived.”
Cassius said he was used to getting sothing taken away.
Even though he could not be attached, Iker even took Casius’ parents and ho.
‘You shouldn’t have done that.’
Cassius couldn’t take his eyes off the palace.
“There must still be a lot of people inside….”
At that ti, I suddenly rembered Iker’s words that the rest of the Housekeepers had been caught.
“That’s right, Iker said he had 7 Housekeepers caught.”
“What?”
Cassius was surprised and asked with his eyes wide open.
“No, did you run into Iker?”
I explained to Cassius in a short summary of what had happened so far.
Cassius’ face grew darker and darker.
“Why on earth would he do such a thing…….”
Cassius muttered in a trembling voice with anger.
“He’s already been confird as the next emperor, but he’s still doing this nonsense.”
His eyes were blazing.
“Is it not enough to take what’s mine until this ti?”
Cassius growled and said.
“He’s a man who can’t be satisfied no matter how much he takes from others.”
I answered in a monotonous voice.
“He’s an empty man because he doesn’t have anything in his hand.”
I got up from my seat and said, holding Cassius’ hand.
It was warm and comfortable.
“Yerine, can I save this country again?”
Cassius’ golden eyes glittered quietly.
“It’s clear that Iker is trying to create a different country than before.”
“What kind of country is that?”
The answer from Cassius’s mouth was very desperate.
“A country where only the emperor can use magic.”
The low voice shouted quietly.
“A country where no one but the emperor can have the power to protect himself.”
“…….”
“He’s trying to make a country like that.”
“How does that…….”
But I couldn’t finish my sentence.
Beyond the darkening sky, I found a black figure flying at high speedily.
“Cassius, they are the guys.”
It wasn’t just one.
The ti of the monsters began to flock over the fence.
‘Are they coming in response to the mana………!’
Then, Cassius squeezed my hand hard.
“Yerine, leave it to .”
“Cassius?”
Instead of answering, Cassius gave a determined look.
Soon, I felt like I was being sucked into the air.
When I opened my eyes, there was no monster anywhere, standing on a familiar bridge.
“What, here…….”
It was a very familiar place.
“Isn’t that the Academy?”
It was a bridge connected to the outermost entrance of the Academy.
I crossed the bridge in a carriage and headed for the city centre early this morning.
“That’s right.”
Cassius looked around and said.
“The Academy is the only place where even the royal family can’t use teleportation magic, and if it’s here, Iker can’t easily follow us.”
It certainly made sense.
“By the way, how did you teleport all the way here? Was that possible in the first place?”
It takes hours from the palace to the Academy.
It was impossible to get here by teleportation unless you morized all the directions correctly.
“I’ve walked from the palace to the Academy. I morized it then.”
“What?”
“Anyway, this is not the ti. Let’s get in there.”
Cassius grabbed my hand and talked.
“We need to go in and strengthen our defences to the highest level. If not, all the students will be beaten.”
Cassius was right.
Already, the monster had broken into the Academy once.
Unlike the imperial palace, Iker could not teleport easily here, but it was the sa that monsters could invade.
“Is there any way to evacuate the students?”
“If we lift teleport restrictions on students and staff, so of them will be able to evacuate.”
“It must be a problem for students who can’t use teleportation.”
In the anti, we arrived at the entrance of the huge Academy.
Usually, carriages ca in and out of here, so a panicked guard jumped out and asked.
“Why don’t you have a carriage…… No, my prince?”
The guard couldn’t shut up when he saw the two of us who looked terrible.
“There was a coup in the palace.”
“What?”
The guard who heard shouted in astonishnt.
“Raise the security to the maximum and deliver it to the principal. It’s an ergency.”
“Oh, I see.”
Cassius and I, who ca through the gate opened by the guards, ran toward the main building of the Academy.
Suddenly, it occurred to that I could use teleportation magic even where teleportation restrictions were imposed.
“Wait, Cassius.”
I imdiately used magic, and when I opened my eyes, we were in the teacher’s office.
Many professors were surprised because of us who suddenly appeared in the air, and Professor Frain imdiately ran toward us.
“Oh, my God, Miss Spade? And the prince….”
“Professor, please listen to .”
I imdiately jumped to the main point after remarking.
“Call the principal right now. It’s an ergency. The monsters that had invaded the academy had caused a coup at the palace and they might invade the academy again.”
Cassius added a word to my words.
“You have to do everything you can. You have to protect your students with the strongest shield. We need to buy so ti.”
Despite the swirling information, Professor Frain quickly regained her composure.
“Okay, I’ll call the principal right away.”
Looking into her cold eyes, she spoke in a stern voice.
“And you should never let the student know that I and the prince are in the Academia, professor.”
I didn’t want to lose it.
For this fight, I wanted to win.
