Some say that she lived for over a hundred years, while others call her the only true wizard. But to Agnes, Reika was nothing more than a woman who appeared out of the blue, with her pink hair and bloated narcissism.
“You don’t have to pretend you don’t need it. I know you want it.”
“No need. I don’t need it.”
As the quarrel continued, Agnes said somewhat annoyed. Reika opened her eyes wide and half covered her mouth with her hand.
“No way….”
“Yes, your signature,”
“Are you doing this because you want to kiss the back of my hand?”
“……”
“Oh my, this is a bit embarrassing since this is the first time we’ve met.”
‘How can she say that embarrassing thing’
“…… I am the Princess of Nirseg and the Duchess of Arpad.”
“Ahm? Is it time to introduce ourselves? I’m Reika, the last wizard of the Golden Age.”
‘I knew some wizards were a bit social and self-centered, I think Reika got them all.’
“I have no intention of selling mana stones. Even if you give me a hundred signatures.”
“Why aren’t you selling it?”
“Because I don’t want to leak it outside.”
“Why don’t you want to leak outside?”
Reika asked innocently. Agnes, who was trying to answer involuntarily, stopped.
“I don’t really want to answer that.”
“Why? Why is it? I’ll give you a sign, so let me know.”
“Oh, well. I don’t need your autograph.”
“So, what do you need? I can allow you to touch the back of my hand. But please refrain from touching other parts of the body. It’s unpleasant.”
Reika said as she stretched out the back of her hand. Agnes feels like she’s talking to a wall. It’s like having a conversation against a handmade wall. Her throat was choked by the frustration.
“…… Welcome to the castle of Estar, Archmage. I hope there will be no inconvenience in your stay.”
Agnes left the drawing room in a hurry, leaving a brief greeting. She wondered how the great wizard grew to be like that. Because Agnes, who grew up as a princess, wasn’t like that.
Then she accidentally walked down the hallway and found out why.
“kyaaa! Reika-sama!”
“Me, me, me, ha, only once. Please sign once! I was a fan even before I became a wizard!”
“I’ve been a fan since birth! Please, just give me an autograph!”
The hallways seemed like a bustling market. The wizards, who were usually not seen in the castle, came in groups and crowded around the Great wizard Reika.
“You are so beautiful!”
“Yes. I know. The real thing is better than the rumors, right? Everyone said that.”
And Reika, who was in the center, accepted that hot attention as if it was natural. Seeing this, Agnes shook her head and continued walking along the way.
Then she saw the back of a familiar person somewhere in the distance.
‘It has a white hair.’
He was a white man with a white head. She felt strangely stunned. Before she could recall his identity, he disappeared again in the blink of an eye.
“Servant of God….”
It was clear that it was the servant of God who had destroyed the castle last summer.
Since when were you hiding in the castle?
Agnes called the knights with a serious face.
“Search the castle now. There is a suspicious person.”
“What kind of suspicious person are you talking about?”
“I saw a man with white hair hiding in the castle.”
As her words fell, more than twenty knights began to search the castle. There was an emergency at the castle. After Zoltan heard the news, he rushed to his feet. They sealed the gates and searched for the chimney, but could not find the servant of the god.
“I’m sorry. Princess. I couldn’t find it. I’ll put the knights in front of the bedroom for the time being just in case.”
“Do that.”
For several days, the boundaries of the castle were tight. Agnes refrained from going out of the castle and took five or more escorts when she left.
That’s how it went. The servant of God has never been seen since that day. Instead, Reika went in and out of Agnes’ office.
“It hurts my pride, but I’ll admit it honestly.”
“What do you mean?”
“I can’t believe the Duchess doesn’t want my autograph.”
“…… Thank you for admitting.”
Agnes replied tremblingly. Reika turned her hair over and over again.
“Great. Tell me what you want. Is it the back of my hand? A hug?”
“What’s your specialty?”
“Yes?”
“What do you know how to do? Is signing autographs your specialty?”
Agnes raised the corners of her lips and frowned. Reika’s eyes twitched.
“I guess you haven’t heard about it yet. I made a formula for Georg’s room, and Nielsen-Amungen…”
“Not that kind of thing, maybe like can you make gold out of dirt?”
“That’s against the law.”
“What about reading people’s minds?”
Again, she asked without much expectation. Reika chuckled.

“It is an ability that I have never heard of or seen even though I have lived for over a hundred years.”
“Hmm. That’s it.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means there’s nothing to expect from you.”
She folded her hands in half and beckoned her to get out.
“Let’s do this.”
“What?”
“I’ll catch the rat.”
“What are you talking about?”
Agnes put down the pen she was holding. Reika said confidently, stretching out her chest.
“I heard there was a suspicious person in the castle. They haven’t caught it yet, I’ll catch it.”
“Do you think you could do that?”
She stared at Reika with very suspicious eyes. The only thing she boasts of is the magic formulas she formulated, so Agnes thought she’s only good at that.
“Leave it to me. Tears will come to your eyes when you realize how amazing I am! You can’t ask for autographs then!”
Reika left her room with the lines a villain spit in a third-class novel. Without a moment’s rest, the door to her office opened again.
“What’s going on?”
“Oh, the development of the plague medicine that I said before. I think I’ve found some clues.”
“Really?”
The visitor this time was Adrienne. At the good news, Agnes raised her head and was happy.
“It’s not certain yet, but with a little more effort, meaningful results will come. I think it will come. It would be better if there were real patients.”
“You did a good job. Let me know if you need anything.”
“Yes. It’s okay because Niall takes good care of me.”
“Niall?”
“I didn’t know he was this kind. One time before, the door seams were loose, so he came and fixed them himself.”
“Ummm…”
Agnes groaned thinking Niall is not that kind of person. She looked at Adrienne with terribly worried eyes.
“Did Niall ask you to lend him money?”
“What? No.”
“Then, did he tell you to invest somewhere that he only knows….”
“Oh my, Niall is not that kind of person.”
Adrienne smiled brightly and touched her hand thinking Agnes was joking. But Agnes was really sincere. Niall was not a bad man, but he was not a man who was willing to give favors to others.
“If Niall asks for money, come to me first and ask. got it?”
“Hoo-hoo, I’ll do that.”
Adrienne gave a completely heartfelt laugh and went out. It reminded her of Niall, who was greedily looking at the box of gold coins, which made her a little worried, but she quickly brushed it off.
Agnes returned to her papers after sending her back. After being aware of the spy, she handled the important documents herself rather than entrusting them to the administrator, so there was more work to be done than before.
Ney asked me if she was going to have dinner, but she didn’t have the appetite, so she looked up and shook her head.
“Then you’ll really fall down. You don’t sleep and you keep skipping meals.”
“I have no appetite.”
“How worried would the Master be if he knew this.”
When Laslo’s name came out, Agnes kept her mouth shut. And fiddled with the bird statue on her desk.
After he left, letters came to her from time to time. Agnes read the contents of the letter again and again. Whenever she had a chance, she used the bird statue to inspect the barracks he was staying in, but she had never seen his face except once.
“I miss you…”
Agnes muttered, without knowing, and then surprised herself.
“Yes? What did you say?”
“It’s nothing. Dinner. Just bring something light to eat.”
“Yes, madam!”
Ney got excited and went outside. A few days passed like that. Estar Castle was surprisingly peaceful. Everyone seemed overly happy.
Agnes hated it strangely. She felt like everyone in the world was smiling, except her.
She was just about to get into bed. When a servant who was standing at the door hesitated and approached her and said,
“The wizard has come.”
“Wizard? In the middle of the night?”
She knew who it was without asking. Through the slightly opened gap, Reika suddenly stuck her head out.
“Can I come in for a second?”
“Do you know what time it is?”
Agnes asked without hiding her displeasure. Even between a husband and wife, visiting at night without a message is considered rude.
As if Reika knew that too, she meekly bowed her head.
“I’m sorry. Duchess. But the rat is caught in the trap.”
“Trap?”
“Yes. I have set a trap here. I’m trying to catch the rat I mentioned earlier.”

Reika smiled refreshingly and stretched out her hand. It was only that, but for a moment the air around her was bubbling.
“Ugh!”
A harsh moan was heard from somewhere in the room. Agnes looked around her in surprise.
At the same time, five windows in the bedroom were broken.
