Episode 277.2
(EP-277.2) Fairy and Sumr Trip #1
277 – The Clumsy Fairy and the Sumr Trip #1
I always thought I was just average.
As I was feeling a bit embarrassed, Mirna took a few more sips from her glass, then elegantly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and added.
“Perhaps you might awaken innate magic like Solomon.”
Solomon.
Hearing that na from Mirna’s lips made realize why she had co to my office.
She must have co to wrap up the discussion we had about being a survivor of the Angmar family.
While I was preparing myself ntally, feeling a bit heavy-hearted, Mirna asked.
“Do you know about Solomon’s innate magic?”
“Innate magic….”
Archmages Rank 5 or above each possess a unique attribute that could be considered their identity.
For example, the old mage Hynax of the Sage Council possessed the innate magic of Rapid Chanting, allowing him to quickly cast any spell once he had mastered it.
Or take Aira, who was on the verge of reaching the 8th Rank. She has the ability to manipulate light clusters, also called Photon Manipulation.
Every archmage has their own unique specialty.
It was said that the Rank 10 Solomon also possessed his own.
According to what Marmar had said, Solomon had three.
“Were they Revelation, Foresight and Enchantnt?”
Mirna chuckled at my words.
“That’s what’s commonly believed, yes. Because it was convenient to let people think so. However, Solomon’s true innate magic was actually just one: Creation.”
“Creation?”
To create…
‘Wasn’t that a godlike ability?’ I thought, but Mirna was one step ahead of .
“It’s a power akin to that of a god. Doesn’t it make you think so?”
I’m a little embarrassed that my thoughts have been read. But Mirna’s deanor was clear.
“Everyone thinks that way. Perhaps Solomon himself thought so too. That’s why he beca arrogant. He desired even greater heights, and beca jealous of what the heavens possessed. He grew angry at his inability to reach it─”
“Neglecting to do good out of sloth. Gluttony that consus the world… These were Solomon’s sins. I’m well aware of them.”
The church preached Solomon’s wickedness—committing six of the deadly sins. The only sin he did not commit was lust.
No resident of Angmar doesn’t know that.
You hear it so much when you go to church it’s exhausting even.
“Sir Theo, if you were to fall like Solomon, you might add the sin of lust to the list. The Demon King of Seven Sins… That would be far worse than Solomon.”
“…….”
I couldn’t deny it.
As I was beginning to spiral into a bit of pessimism, Mirna spoke in a detached voice.
“I think it’s best to refuse anything related to Angmar.”
“… Ah.”
Rejected.
I felt a slight shock, and as I was processing this, Mirna continued.
“The Draco family has had deep ties with Angmar in many ways since the founding days, but that’s a story from my father’s generation. I have no loyalty or obligation to the Angmar family.”
“That’s true.”
“But I have ford many connections with you, Sir Theo. From what I’ve seen, I feel I could trust you, not as a descendant of Angmar, but as the half-fairy Sir Theo.”
Her words made my ears perk up.
“You an you trust , not my lineage?”
“Well, you could see it that way. I won’t say it twice, so make sure you understand.”
Mirna, her face partially hidden by her fan, quickly averted her gaze.
Unlike Elga, who was more straightforward, it seed that expressing such thoughts to was sowhat embarrassing for Mirna, who tended to be more reserved.
In any case, I felt a sense of relief as the lump that had been weighing on my heart so intensely over the past few days was finally reaching resolution.
“Lady Mirna, I’ll make sure my actions show you that you won’t regret this.”
Seuk.
Just as I, overwheld with emotion, was about to reach out and take Mirna’s hand across from , she sharply flicked my hand away with her fan and furrowed her brow like a goblin.
“And Sir Theo, when were you planning to tell that Lady Lioness is expecting?”
My vision instantly went blurry. The fresh clarity I had just felt was suddenly struck by lightning.
“…How did you…?”
Mirna frowned at my question.
“Not long ago, when I fought with Lady Lioness at the shop, I noticed how she kept protecting her belly. Considering her recent strange behavior as well…”
“Ah.”
“Given all those hints, only a fool would not figure it out. While Lady Lioness might not notice, I’m certainly not that oblivious.”
Just as one issue was resolved, another stord in. I had to calm the agitated Mirna by explaining the situation truthfully.
“What? Y-you conspired with Lady Lioness to… to make pregnant!?”
“Shh, Lady Mirna, please lower your voice. Try to calm down a little….”
“Ahem, how disgraceful. I have a lot to say, but I don’t even know where to start or how to express it. Sir Theo, I’ll be watching.”
“Understood…”
I could only bow my head like a nymph who had been scolded. Whether my earnest action had convinced her, Mirna just snorted.
Then, noticing the books about the Wall Clarice lined up on my desk, she seed intrigued and asked.
“Are you planning to visit the wall?”
