Chapter 15

Since the wheelchair came to my house, my range of action has been much wider.
Even today, I was reading a book in a glassy conservatory surrounded by garden flowers.
A small tea table in this place with warm sunshine over the glass on a beautiful day, that became my fixed position.
Lift the cup with the tea Sarah left for me and sip it.
Your Highness gave me this rose tea with rose petals in the tea leaves.
The gorgeous aroma and sweet taste of the flowers calms the mind and gives it time to heal.
“Still, you’re really not coming these days”
Two, think about this tea leaf sender.
His Royal Highness has never really shown up in the last few weeks, as the saying goes that he can’t come for a while.
They just give me letters and these tea leaves and books that I might like instead.
By the way, I was also slightly wondering if the conversation about the dissolution of the engagement was going on because the person wouldn’t show up.
My father also said this time the engagement would be dissolved.
So when I asked my father, he said, “It’s difficult to talk to His Majesty.
Leave it to this father because I will never let him like bad, “this was also a less refreshing conversation.
I can’t have a princess king with such a body.
I wonder what everyone is thinking.
The more I know about Your Highness, the closer I get to the distance, the less I know what to do.
Until now, I had only seen the King Prince, his neat face, the special magic and smartness of the royal family, and that.
But not these days.
A face like a solder, a face that looks anxious, a smile that creeps my face out.
They were all the first faces I saw.
The face that determined that something during this time.
What is that?
Try to think deeply, hah.
No, no, don’t think about this.
I shake my head a few times and take one deep breath.
If the Virgin shows up anyway, Your Highness will go over there.
That merciful Virgin is next to His Highness, who is the one who guides this country. That’s the way it should be.
Not me without such magic.
Then I don’t want to think about it. I don’t want to know about your new Highness.
I am forced to put a lid on my newborn emotions and lock them in.
“Lady.”
Sarah speaks gently to me as I try to sink into the darkness of my thoughts.
“It’s time to go back.
I was wondering if Dr. Bruette could be here in a little while. ”
“Right. Sarah, take me to my room.”
“Yes.”
Sarah smiling calmly turned around behind me and slowly moved the wheelchair.

“Miss Marcel, the challenges in the meantime were very well thought out.
I’ve learned a lot about the climate and crops in this country. ”
“Thank you, Dr. Bruette.
The book the teacher lent me was very easy to understand and helpful ”
There is another thing that has changed in the last few weeks.
His Highness introduced me to a tutor, Dr. Bruette, who was to come three days a week.
A woman with red hair and thin silver-edged glasses.
He is an outstanding person who was originally an assistant director of the National Institute of Magic.
Some places are tough, but they always tell me the hard part until I can understand it well. Also, the challenges that are put out are quite interesting and very much learned.
“So today is about the relationship between this country and the Spirit, right?
Miss Marcel, please explain what you know about the Spirit. ”
Dr. Bruette opens a textbook on sorcery history and sits down in the chair next to me.
“Yes, we know that the Spirit usually lives as a group for each attribute.
Normally you can only summon spirits with the Spirit Summoning Ritual. ”
“Right. So what happens with the Spirit Summoning Ritual?
“When you respond to a Spirit that is compatible with you and the Spirit appears, you can give the Spirit a name and ask him to lend you his power.”
I know this neighborhood well from my last experience.
Previously on this Spirit Summoning Ritual I was able to summon the medium Spirit of the water.
He’s a big, cute kid with a watery dog-like look.
He wouldn’t speak a word unless he was a high spirited man, so he only spoke “One One” like a regular dog, though.
Besides, the Spirit is whimsical.
I’m not always on my side, I’m at the Spirit’s residence. Sometimes they appear as if they remember.
But since the power to lend is connected by the magic of the Spirit and the Contractor, it doesn’t matter whether you stay away or not.
It’s hard on me without magic… but I won’t be able to see her again.
“Exactly. So, what’s the exception?
“The exception is the Spirit King. The Spirit King has a name and does not normally appear before men.
It’s just that the Spirit King of Light occasionally gives protection to those who have souls that are merciful and attractive to men. ”
“Yeah, well, that’s the Virgin.
Since the last time the Spirit King of Light appeared before a man was 300 years ago, that 300 year old Virgin is considered the newest.
Also, the Virgin is considered a symbol.
Because humans are greedy things. If you spread the power too widely, you will depend on it.
For this reason, the power of the Virgin is hidden from the royal family. ”
I’m surprised to open my eyes to Dr. Bruette’s words.
If the current story is true, it’s not a symbol of the Virgin, is it?
In the school, protection was supposed to be the power of protection given to humans by the Spirit King of Light. We need to show some power over the others.
Even though there is no power in person, the very existence of the Virgin, whom the Spirit King has granted protection, makes sense.
Because it is a symbol that the Spirit is watching over this country.
For this reason, people revere and believe in the Virgin.
But isn’t it?
The relationship the Spirit helps with is a contract.
But the Spirit King helps protect
Certainly not the same name.
if that is what it was intended to be.
“Doctor, what is the power of the Virgin?”
“I don’t know that either. No one knows but the Virgin and the Royal Family.”
“Was it okay for me to hear that story”
“Yeah, you won’t abuse it. And if you don’t know what kind of power it is, you can’t use it.”
The teacher went on to give me a lesson about the spiritual abode when I was flattered by the words.
But I was so caught up in the story of the Virgin earlier that I remembered Dr. Bruette’s story long after I finished class.
Because I was thinking too much, that night I was going to fall asleep with a high fever.
