“Do you know that a rainbow has seven colors?” asked Vio.

“Yeah, I know,” Liona replied.

“It’s caused by the reflection of light from water droplets in the atmosphere. Meaning, light has seven colors.”

“Is that so? I didn’t know that.”

“Don’t worry, I also didn’t know that until I studied it. From there, I began to wonder if I could create light in other colors as well, depending on how I construct the magic circle.”

Light has different colors, depending on the wavelength. The longest one is red, followed by orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet as the shortest. 

However, one didn’t really need such in-depth knowledge to create colorful lights with magic. Vio thought it was possible to do so just by interweaving the right words into the circle.

Vio used the rainbow as an example since he knew that in this world, Edelbaran, many people didn’t think that light had so many different colors. Most people would say that the colors of light were, “moonlight white, sunny yellow, and sunset red”.

“I’m also wondering if I can write words with light.”

“That’s possible? You really keep surprising me with your ideas. Isn’t that right, Night?”

“Yes… It’s very interesting. Does that mean you will draw them with streaks of light?”

Both the princess and her knight leaned forward slightly. Vio kept his distance from them as he shook his head. “No. I think that’s possible, but what I’m thinking of is making specks of light appear at the same time.”

“Specks of light?”

Vio dispelled the flying butterflies and summoned an ordinary light.

“Please look. Normally, when you summon light, you summon a single one like this. You could say it’s a dot of light, yes?”

“Yeah…”

“If you put dots together in a row, won’t it look like a line from a distance?”

“Hmm? Come to think of it, you’re right.”

“I’m currently studying whether I can do this with lights. It’s easy to make something like string lights, but… there’s no efficient way to line up lights floating in the air. I’d have to write the same formula many times to make a line, right? If so, the size of the circle will naturally expand. Right now, I’m trying to find a more reasonable approach than that.”

Liona praised Vio with sparkling eyes, “Writing things with light, what a good idea! When welcoming foreign ambassadors, don’t you think they’ll be impressed once you display their crest with lights in the garden?”

“I didn’t think of that. What I came up with is…” Vio paused, cheeks turning red in embarrassment.

Liona and Night grew curious. She asked, “What is it? Tell me.”

Vio cleared his throat and calmed down. He said, “It’s to write words of love in the garden, like ‘please marry me,’ or ‘I like you’… Isn’t that romantic?”

“That’s… if it’s done by the person they like, then they’ll fall head over heels.”

“Ahaha. I read an article in a book about making a confession of love in a garden full of flowers… I want to do it too someday, so I took note of it.”

“Lord Violant is a romantic, I see. Well, women do like that kind of thing,” Liona said in a frank manner. Then, as if she had imagined getting confessed to in that way, she gave an embarrassed grin.

Night asked with an extremely serious look on his face, “Princess, do you like something like that?”

“There’s no woman who wouldn’t.”

“Is that so…” Night fell into deep thought.

Liona raised an eyebrow at him. “Now, don’t think of making advances on women with this method! If you dirty Lord Violant’s wonderful technique, I’ll beat you up!”

“I wouldn’t do that! How heartless of you, Princess.”

Just like in the manga, Night had women falling for him one after another. So when it came to women, Liona didn’t have much trust in him.

“Good grief. All this yelling has made me thirsty. Night, bring me some water!”

“Princess… I understand. I’ll be back soon, so please stay here until then.”

“Alright.”

Since both of their guardian knights were gone, Vio thoughtfully stood next to the bench. Otherwise people might mistake them as lovers having a rendezvous, and it would be a problem for Liona. Liona noticed Vio’s intention and didn’t say anything.

As a lady, Liona had to avoid being alone with the opposite sex. That being said, Vio’s conscience wouldn’t let him leave Liona here alone. Liona didn’t say that they should move to another room either because that would make Vio uncomfortable. She was aware that Vio was avoiding being conspicuous.

If anyone said something, Liona decided to say that Violant was her pest repellent until her companion returned.

“Lord Violant has great ideas. I didn’t think that a single light could have so much potential.”

“No, I’m sure there are a lot more ideas that I couldn’t think of. The world is full of the unknown.”

Liona nodded vigorously. “Haha, you’re right. That’s why it’s interesting.” 

“If we think about structure, do you think that we could improve water magic, too? The magic to create water is easy, but I’m wondering if I can create magic that transforms snowpack into something else.”

“Snow? Hmm, I don’t really know. I live in a warm country.”

“It’s by the sea, right? I once had the idea that it would be interesting if I could dive underwater for a long time using the box-shaped defense magic.”

“Oh, like blocking the water? That’s interesting. Depending on how you do it, maybe you can also make a ship using defense magic?”

“I never thought of that.”

As they were half-jokingly talking about various possibilities, they heard footsteps entering the balcony.

“Legi? Have you returned?” Vio called out, thinking that it was Legion. Turns out it was a couple.

The woman noticed Liona and bowed deeply. “Oh, Princess. Forgive our rudeness.” She tried to step back, flustered, but the man escorting her didn’t move. She turned to him, puzzled. “Honey, let’s leave.”

“You leave by yourself.”

“Eh?” she asked. The man took advantage of her moment of bewilderment and thrust the woman away. She fell down with a scream. “Ahhhh!”

The man took out a knife he’d concealed in his belt and ran towards them. “Princess Liona, I’ll finish you!”

Vio and Liona couldn’t respond in time. They had both let down their guard, believing that the security in the venue was flawless. While they were still preoccupied with the woman, the man had quickly closed the distance in the blink of an eye.

“Princess!” Vio immediately jumped in front of Liona and used magic. “Let there be light!”

Vio could only chant the trigger spell, but it was enough. Light burst into being in front of the man, stopping him in his tracks. Suddenly seeing light in such a dim area should have blinded him for a moment.

As the man staggered, Vio jumped onto his right arm. However, due to the large difference in their physique, he was quickly shaken off.

Just as Vio realized that the man had thrown him, his head struck something hard and he collapsed on the spot, unable to make a sound.

“Lord Violant!”

Liona’s screaming voice was the last thing he heard before Vio blacked out.
