[...will this magic stone really work?] (Alan)

Big brother Alan's voice was heard. Big brother Albert's voice also echoes in my brain as he quickly answers that question.

[We have to believe in Alicia, don't I? Henry thinks so too, doesn't he? ] (Albert)

[Yeah. I believe her, but I didn't expect that she can remotely control this amount of...] (Henry)

Normally, Big Brother Henry would say with confidence, "Alicia will be fine".

Well, that's just how difficult what I was doing.

As I listened to their conversation, I activated the magic stone. At that moment, the hallway where I was now standing was instantly engulfed in bright red flames.

It was warm, but did not burn me at all.

I was relieved that I was able to create an illusion. A large flame engulfs the entire royal palace.

...With this, I would be a villainess who would go down in history.

This wouldn't be an unprecedented incident. And it was going to be a truly baffling case when known that it was the daughter of the Williams family who orchestrated this.

Now, Julie-sama, would you appear before me? I couldn't wait! 

[Ho, really, it's burning.] (Alan)

[What incredible magic] (Albert)

Big brother Alan was followed by Big brother Albert's exclamation.

All that remained was to extinguish this shortly.... I could sense the servants and guards waking up and making panicked noises.

...It was a ridiculous plan on a large scale, but it could be quite interesting to watch from the sidelines.

What a lucky case of bombing with no one dead....

It's about time to get rid of all illusions. I have to make them think that I am using water magic to make them disappear.

What a difficult plan I have devised. I wonder if anyone else could do this other than me.

Thinking this, I smiled a little and concentrated all my energy on putting out the flames.

I was sure that my brothers were following me half in disbelief. Even so, their faith in me was probably greater.

Rest assured, I would live up to their expectations.

I didn't have the magical power of Duke-sama, but I created this flame. I could extinguish it instantly.

The flames were dancing in the royal palace, but the building was not damaged in the slightest. However, everyone in the palace was confused because they must be feeling the heat.

I covered the royal palace with the magic power I have.

It was at that moment. A dignified female voice said, "What is this?"

My eyes met those of a woman standing at the end of a long corridor. She had woken up in a hurry, but was still the calmest person I had ever seen in all this turmoil.

...Julie Seeker.

I called her name in my mind. A few moments later, all the flames in the royal palace were extinguished.

It was such a big job that it almost used up all the magic power.

[It's really gone. ...to put out these flames instantly...] (Albert)

[The highest level of the five great magics is unknown... Alicia must be well over level 100.] (Alan)

I heard Big brother Albert and Big Brother Henry's voices.

I used to be so devoted to magic that I consider myself a magic geek. It's no wonder I can do this.

"I'm not going to let you catch her."

Julie-sama says to the guards in the hallway after the flames have been completely quenched.

She didn't sound like she was yelling, but rather calm, and her voice filled me with dread.
