The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

“Color ……? He can see colors?”

After finishing his work at the royal castle, the head of House Gurion, Arson, heard a surprising report from his house servant, Iko, who was waiting for him at the entrance of the mansion.

Arson Gurion.

He was a young marquis in his early thirties.

He has pale indigo eyes with a slightly cold impression and a neat face. His light steeple-colored hair is short and clean.

He is not that tall, nor does he have good looks that catch the eye at a glance.

However, if you look closely, you will find that he is a man who has all the elements in place at a high level.

He is well-balanced, including the fact that he doesn’t have any outstanding features, and that’s why he has been buried in his surroundings, and that’s why he has slowly emerged.

And now he is allowed to work in the castle and is trusted by the King.

“Yes. The effective range is said to be narrow, but he is certainly able to distinguish colors properly.”

In addition, Iko, who was taking care of Arson’s coat and jacket, continued to report.

“It’s …… a great thing, isn’t it?”

My youngest son, Kunon, was born blind.

It is said that it is because of the “hero’s scar,” an anecdote that has become like a fairy tale, but the truth is unknown.

Anyway, the plain and simple truth is that my son is blind.

“I think so, too. He said the closer you are to it, the better it appears, and he can see it clearly when he touches it,” Iko said.

Sees clearly when touching…

Does that mean…

“Does that mean he can read?”

As expected, Iko thought.

Able to read a book.

That’s what the two found out after they both tried a few things, Arson noticed that right away.

Yes, the best thing about this phenomenon is that he’s now able to read.

Open the book and trace it with your finger.

That way, he could identify the cover and the color of the ink, and read the words.

Of course, Kunon doesn’t know how to read yet, so he’ll have to learn.

“……wow……”

A heavy voice leaks out, laced with a sigh.

It was a voice of relief.

It was a moment when his worries about his son’s future were greatly diminished.

Even though his body and mind were tired, Arson’s worries had vanished.

“Have you talked to Tina?”

“No.”

“Then let me tell the story.”

Tina, or Tinariza, Arson’s wife and Kunon’s mother, was more worried about Kunon than anyone else.

It was largely because of Tinariza’s excessive concern that Kunon asked for a separate place to live.

His reason was that he makes her worry about everything she does, and that she has to be there for him.

As the wife of a marquis, she can’t afford not to attend social gatherings.

And now that Kunon has a royal bride, it becomes even more important for her to be present at social gatherings.

It was quite some time ago that a princess was married off here in House Gurion.

‘The Hero’s Scar’ is a sort of curse of the Demon King that was once fought.

It is said that it is only expressed in the blood of the royal family, in the case of the heroes of the seventeen nations who fought directly …… here in the Kingdom of Huglia.

–In short, the Gurions have a small amount of royal blood in their veins, although it is no longer very strong.

This means that in the event of a major upset, Kunon would have the right to inherit the throne as a possibility.

That’s one of the meanings of having a princess as a bride or a marriage partner.

Well, there are many children of the current king, so it’s only a possibility.

–But even if it is only a distant possibility, whether it is meaningless or not is another matter.

He’s the first in almost a hundred years to have the Hero’s Scar, and it’s not impossible that he’ll get into trouble because of it.

In fact, he’s even been given a princess as a bride.

You never know what might happen.

This is why socializing is so important.

Even if you can’t get around well, just getting along with the people around you in moderation will make a big difference in the future of the Gurion family and Kunon.

…… and not that Kunon understood this far, but Arson said so to Tinariza and convinced her to separate with Kunon.

That is why he has ordered Iko not to report about Kunon to Tinariza.

Because if she hears the story, his wife will lose patience and go to see him.

–But this report is on a somewhat different level.

I would not have told her if it was trivial, but it is not trivial.

This is an accomplishment enough to tell my wife about, or to praise Kunon with detachment.

“Isn’t Kunon planning to come back to the main building?”

I’ve heard a lot of reports about him. Three months ago, he started to seriously devote himself to magic.

He increased the amount of food he ate to build his body.

It may not be swordsmanship, but he has started swinging.

Just recently, he started preparing the baths in the main building.

I’ve also heard that his relationship with his future wife, Milica Huglia, has improved a bit.

Before I knew it, my son, who had been prone to looking down, started trying to live positively.

The Kunon of today would be able to live with him, wouldn’t he?

That’s what Arson thought.

“…… It may be too early to tell.”

The house servant assigned to Kunon was reluctant.

“Now Kunon is trying to change. He is desperately trying to change every day. At a time like this, any major change in their living environment may interfere with his goals.”

“Goals?”

I heard that too.

My son is trying to gain visibility through magic.

Arson doesn’t know if he can do it, but if that’s what Kunon wants to do, he’ll support him.

–It is an effort that has not been and will not be in vain, because it has already actually paid off.

It’s been about half a year since Kunon disappeared from the main building.

Kunon has gotten used to living away from the main building, and the main building has gotten used to living without Kunon.

Arson hasn’t changed much, but Tinariza is just starting to socialize.

Her other son, Ixio, was often confused, as he didn’t seem to know how to interact with Kunon.

I’m sorry to say it, but he’s having a spontaneous time right now.

“…… I guess so. Let’s wait and see.”

I don’t think the current situation is bad for either of us.

We both have our own things to do, so maybe we don’t need to spend time together.

  …… No, more than anything else, if Kunon is in an environment where he can concentrate, it would be best not to interfere.

He decided to continue with the status quo.

“Thank you for everything, Ico. I know this is a lot of work for you…….”

“I don’t mind. I don’t mind, it’s for the money. I’d rather ask for a raise in salary than a compliment.”

–It’s not a matter of humility or vague loyalty, but rather Iko’s willingness to talk about her salary is what makes her the best choice for Kunon.

“Ha-ha-ha. You should talk to Balen about money. He sets the servants’ wages.”

"Wha–t? Mr. Balen is very strict about money…”

If she was the type to think seriously and earnestly, she and Kunon would be troubled together and sink to the bottom.

That’s why I assigned a house servant who was as cheerful as possible.

I’m sure I made the right decision.
