Chapter 44: 44.1

Chapter 44 – The Real Condition

“Wouldn’t that be summarized as a light kiss!”

Ashia took a deep breath as she refuted Kaligo’s words, and only then did she realize Redin’s existence standing next to her. Opening her mouth, Ashia coughed loudly and turned her head away.

“…Let’s stop this, we are not the only ones here.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Kaligo only looked at her even though Ashia told him to stop. But for Redin, this moment where their conversation was cut off was an opportunity.

“I care, Your Grace,” Redin interrupted their conversation with a serious voice.

It was then that Kaligo’s gaze turned to him. “Redin.”

“I think you forgot so I will say it again. Your Grace, the situation in the tower isn’t good.”

Ashia opened her mouth again when Redin mentioned the Magic Tower, “I am going.”

“Ashia, please.”

Redin intervened when signs of another quarrel were about to arise between the two, “Please calm down, the both of you.”

“…”

“…”

“The barrier is continuing to melt as of now.”

Ashia then put her hands on Kaligo’s arm and said, “Kaligo… I wouldn’t go if there were no conditions. Did you forget? What I like the most is gold.”

“…”

“The amount of gold the Magic Tower had accumulated over the years will be quite a lot. If they don’t give me much gold, then I will come back regardless of whether the barrier melted or the Elemental Cube split in half.”

“…”

’Huh? Kaligo?’

Her long eyelashes fluttered as she blinked. Kaligo swallowed a sigh after seeing Ashia like that.

He was defeated in the end. The childish quarrel stopped right there; it was a fight Having no other choice, he nodded his head.

Ashia regained her smile with his permission. Ashia told him several times that she would be back and would be careful.

“Come back right away if you think it is dangerous.”

“Yes, don’t worry. It really won’t be a big deal.”

Smiling brightly, Ashia stretched out her hand into the air without any hesitation. The magic that flowed from her fingertips quickly drew a magic circle of complex patterns, and through that, a gate was immediately summoned.

She slowly turned her head to look at Kaligo, “I will be back.” She ran into the gate with a bright smile.

From the moment she summoned the gate to the moment she entered, she had no hesitation. The gate that had appeared in the Grand Duke’s room disappeared in an instant.

Kaligo cried out in despair as he looked at the remnants of the magical power.

“If anyone saw that, they would think that she was going to a picnic.”

Kaligo sighed heavily as he turned around and told Redin, “Redin.”

“Yes, Your Grace.”

“Reinforce the knights on the border and bring in all the off-duty ones.”

“Yes, Your Grace.”

“We need to prepare for the time when the barrier completely disappears. Also, find out what the Imperial Palace is doing now.”

“I have received your orders.”

As Kaligo turned around to change clothes, Redin tilted his head and asked him, “Where are you going, Your Grace?”

“To the woman who caused trouble.”

“Ah, I did have something to tell you regarding that.”

Kaligo turned and looked at Redin, “What is it?”

“While I was separately looking for the Magic Tower’s Master and the Imperial Princess, I found out that the two of them were staying in the same mansion.”

Kaligo took a deep breath and tilted his head at an angle. “Come to think of it, I heard that there was one more person with the Imperial Princess who came to the Grand Duke’s residence last time.”

“Yes, I think that it was probably the Magic Tower’s Master.”

Kaligo laughed silently. “… This is going to be fun.”

Redin swallowed a sigh as he continued, “Since Kyrian is there, why don’t you wait until he contacts you? He should have arrived by now and taken a look.”

“I can’t let Kyrian watch that fun alone.”

“Yes?”

The Imperial Princess was probably nothing more than a doll being used by the Magic Tower’s Master. It was obvious that she was the one behind all this judging from her brash personality.

“Besides, this isn’t the time to keep an eye on them now that the barrier is slowly collapsing. I’ll have to bring back the Magic Tower’s Master to the Magic Tower as soon as possible.”

“Ah.”

Perhaps Kaligo was worried about Ashia. Redin took a step back and bowed his head.

“Yes, then I will prepare.”

Walking straight out of the bedroom and walking down the hallway, he stopped for a moment in front of the staircase. He turned his head and looked towards Kaligo’s room.

[– Look, Renna Cornelli isn’t here anymore. ]

The name Renna Cornelli came out of Ashia Bliss’ mouth.

‘She clearly said Renna Cornelli.’

The accident seven years ago flashed into his mind as soon as he heard that name.

[– What happened to Renna?

-…Yes?

– I am asking you what happened to her!

– Your Grace! ]

He was crazily shouting ‘Renna’ on the day he died and came back to life.

Redin tilted his head.

’Is this really a coincidence?’

The woman who had never met his master, came in and out of the Grand Duchess’ secret bedroom and even grabbed him. It was the same with the content of their conversation and the flow of atmosphere between the two of them.

“…”

Redin started going down the stairs.

It didn’t matter.

There were some suspicious things about it, but it wasn’t that important to him. If he had to choose between the crazy Kaligo and the now-changed Kaligo, then it would be the current Kaligo without any hesitation. It is probably the same with the other employees of the duchy.

Arriving on the first floor, Redin was able to quickly finish preparing to go to the capital with the help of the head maid, Melanie. The Grand Duke’s carriage loaded with high-quality mana stones started running towards the capital city with Kaligo and Redin on board. Their destination was the mansion where the Imperial Princess Aileen was staying.
