"That’s not possible though?! I heard that the Kingdom gives a huge sum of money to Duke Lance every year as a subsidy for breeding the insects. It is so that the sick people can get the medicine for free."

The Prince stood up indignantly before Joshua could finish his sentence.

"Your Highness, I think you should not only ask Robert-sama, but also Duke Lance for an explanation in this matter,...

(Editor's note: We're changing giant snake/giant serpent here to Orochi. Yes, it's not a pure 8 headed snake with 8 tails like in the Japanese folklore, and its physically more akin to a Lernaean Hydra, but the author keeps referencing it to it as Orochi and Giant Serpent in his author's notes, so in retrospect, we'll edit it as such.)

"We should keep its head away from the other seals and destroy the serpent's heads quickly. Remember, we must aim for the head, not the torso." (Kagali)

“Why not the torso?" (Yuna)

Of course, I understand that the head is the weak point. But I think the torso shouldn’t have come out of the ground yet, so it’s like an all-you-can-attack buffet.

Think of it as a giant snake whose body is stuck in...

"No, Your Highness. Everyone should have more awareness and knowledge of diseases. This is because it will prove to be helpful in times of need."

"So it's like that. Emma is kind indeed."

...No, Your Highness, she just likes insects to the point of madness. George muttered in his heart as he witnessed the Prince steadily turning to a terminally ill patient.

For some reason, I found myself in the royal palace with Duke. I asked Duke as we walked down the corridor.

"Hey, are you sure it's okay for me to be here too?"

"Of course it is."

Duke immediately answered.

The people the king had gathered were all nobles.

I wondered if it was okay for me to be here since I was from the impoverished village and I had spent my time as Alicia's assistant, but now Alicia had been exiled from the country...

Duke said that since...

"Information #2! Liz seems to be using some nasty magic without realizing it~! According to an old book, there is a Magic of Charm, which is a special magic possessed by saints. Well, I don't know the ancient language of Duelkis so I couldn't read much of it~"

...Charm Magic?

What kind of stupid magic was that? What in the world was going on with the saints in this country?

But if you think about it, Liz's followers were crazy. They were too devoted to her. They were so delu...

"You got something?"

"Do you think Mel will come before my Lord empty-handed?"

Duke's words were answered immediately with pride.

I thought Henry and I were good at gathering information, but seeing these two made me realize that we still have a long way to go.

...Maybe these two were on another level.

"I'm not sure how Duke intends to use me, but I'm no longer working for the king. I have to talk to him and think about the future of the country."

Gramps stated as much, his face solemn.

I wondered if His Majesty the King would listen to Gramps' opinion if they talked.

What could that king do now that he made Gramps like this at the behest of his mother?

"Rather than getting Abel...let's get him to break the spell behind that wall of fog."

"Can you convince the ...

"Gramps, Duke is trying to get you out of here."

I visited the poor village and told him so in person.

Duke was unable to come to the impoverished village due to various reasons, and so I was the one who had to come here.

"...I see...Duke."

Gramps mumbled with a nostalgic look on his face.

Duke was Gramps' nephew. I guess he held many memories that I didn't know about.

"Getting out?"

"But what will happen to this village when the master is gone?"

Victor's low voice echoed in the room.

"I guess he couldn't make it to the top of the tower after all."

"I see. But there must be something more to that guy. There's no way he could have been a heretic for so long without being discovered. Go down to the town and find out what you can about him."

"Yes sir."

Placing my ear to the door of Victor's room, I listened in on the conversation inside.

I broke into Victor's room on my way back from the tower to find out wh...

VTGWH 222

The only way to break the spell is to use magic.

...If Victor hears that I've used magic here, I'm finished. He will instantly know that I am a nobleman from another country.

It might be wise to give up.

To begin with, the Ravaal Kingdom was a country where magic may or may not exist...Not everything written in the books had to be true.

There were a few people who could use magic, but it was difficult to get the latest information in a world that was forever changing.<...

I'm so tired today...

I didn't think that soldier training was that hard. Moreover, the captain was very spartan with me.

I managed to do everything, but I almost gave up when I was told to run the last 5 kilometers as fast as I could. I ran with what strength I had left, but when I thought that I would have to go through that training every day from now on....

I thought that the training I had done when I was a child was quite good, but it was nothing compared to this. I wo...

The price for those insects is so terrifying that I don't even dare to ask... I have to persuade Emma to return the insects after the Prince leaves. George swore in his heart.

After several minutes had passed, Edward lifted his head from Emma's knees.

"Emma, too, are you alright? The insects that caused the disturbance at the academy must have looked very frightening for a young lady. Did you sleep well last night? Have you had a hard time?"

The Prince asked Emma with a worried face.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Emma, who came to the drawing room after she had changed, bowed and smiled at the Prince. Because she ran back from the garden to the mansion and changed her clothes in a hurry, she needed to catch her breath in secret so that the Prince and the other guests wouldn't notice.

The siblings heard Martha shouting from afar. Martha would never make such a loud noise if nothing big had happened. A few seconds later, they could see Martha come running to the garden.

"Emma, I will cover for you if you tell me honestly, so speak. It will be easier for my heart if I know about it first."

The two brothers quickly asked Emma, who had...

"Oi, Oi, are you serious…"

"Where's all that muscle coming from on those skinny arms?"

"390, ...399, 400... 401."

I could hear the surprise in Captain Marius's voice as the surrounding buzz started to build.

I do push-ups as I watch the sweat drop to the ground. I could feel all over my body that many of the soldiers were looking at me.

...this was pretty hard. This puts far more strain on my arms than I had imagined. I have never done 500 at once before.

Bear-san, Heads To The Buildings With Seals.

‘Fu ~u'

I guess that's it.

I defeated the last wyvern by releasing the bear magic, wind magic.

If you keep them away from the building, they’re not an opponent you can't beat. It’s troublesome to fight them while protecting the seal inside the building. While dealing with wyverns, Volglass tried to enter the building. It would have been easier at times like this if Swaying Bear and Hugging Bea...

From the Crane Wing Formation, the tailless whip scorpions changed to the Flying Geese Formation in one swift move.

How could he do that? If I sneaked over there, they would know, right? This was probably the prince's place.

Was there something in that tower, or someone locked in there, or... a trap?

A large man's face appeared in front of me. ...What a stern looking face. Happiness would flee from him if he kept wrinkling his brow like that.

House Lance had a fair share of influence amongst the nobles. There's no way they would stay silent when Robert, the next heir to the title, was put in prison.
