Can you tell me what kind of magic you can do?

...... I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't do that. I don't want to give away my cards.

I'm sure ...... will be able to tell you at least which attributes are available.

　Ils is persistently biting at my magic.
　I don't understand the purpose of this question.
　He may have some information, or he may be planning to exploit my weakness.
　I can't give a careless answer, but it would make a bad impression if I don't answer at all.

I'm sorry, sir. Walth is my slave, so even if you ask him any more questions, he doesn't even have the right to answer. I'll just say that he's very good with the water attribute.

　While I was pondering this, Celestia stopped eating and simply answered.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm sure you're not the only one. That's a somewhat mundane attribute, but since you say you're good at it, you must be able to use magic in a certain way. Isn't that great?

Thank you, .......

　The face of Ils, once again turned towards me, showed no sign of suspicion.
　Perhaps it was because the information came from the princess, Celestia.
　I'm not the only one with too much information.
　I was the only one with too much information, so I might have been thinking too much, I thought as I reached for my food.

I've heard from Harvey that you two are excellent dancers. Walth, he complimented you in particular. I can't help but wonder where you got such skills when you're a slave.

　Ils slowly crosses his arms with his elbows on the table, as if he's curious about my identity.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable again by forgetting our original purpose.

　Ils offered us some food and never asked about me again.
　As Seretia proceeded to have a safe conversation with Ils, it was my turn to watch him carefully.

　Over seventeen years have passed, and now that I am a king, he may not be the Ilth I know. But even so, I can't help but feel that there's something different about the ILS I know.
　The biggest difference is that I don't sense that in the current version of him.

　The way he speaks, the way his eyes move, his gestures, his atmosphere, all of it gives him the air of a king, and he is unnaturally calm.
　I was impressed in a different way by the fact that he changed so much when he became a king.

"I had a great time today, it's been a while since I had a good time. I want to thank you all so much. I wish my brother could have been here, but he's injured and recuperating.

　The meal was over and they were about to leave when Ils said what I wanted to hear the most.
　Celestia had been trying to time her conversation, but she had been unable to broach the subject of the fake Ars, so she had given up.

"Is His Highness Ars injured? Celestia replied with concern.

I've heard that it's nothing serious, but since it's an opponent, it seems that recovery magic alone won't be enough to heal him in a short time.

　If you think about it, there's no way that there's no one in the Magical Order who can handle light-attribute recovery magic.
　Even if it's not just physical wounds, it's also inconceivable that it would take this long to heal.
　If that's the case, there's a suspicion that the fake Ars is telling him what to do, or even that he's an accomplice.
　If they are close, then there is a strong suspicion of complicity, but it does not seem to have any merit.


　It is also possible that he is an impostor, an alchemist who is being manipulated by a puppet.


I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

　The sun is beginning to set at ," Celestia said, turning her head to look out the window.

Well, thank you for coming today. I've had a good time talking with you and learning a bit about the Kingdom of Eurecia. I've had a very productive time.

　Ils stood up, and Seretia and Benetnash followed suit.
　I was wondering if he was an alchemy doll or not, and if I could do anything about that, when he looked at me.

If only we had a capable young man like you, our country would be in good hands, but there is no one who can take Dallas' place. If you ever decide to leave the Kingdom of Euresia, you are welcome to come to my home.

　Ils took one look at Seretia and held out his right hand to me.
　Celestia didn't change her color and just looked on, not seeming to understand how serious this was.

　This was a golden opportunity, and she couldn't resist checking to see if it was an alchemy doll.
　Even if there is no problem, Ils is not very good at magic, and even if he had a water blocking spell on his arm, he would not notice it.
　The wizard behind me is certainly not as good as Fiel, and he would not be able to notice my magic just by looking at me.

I'm grateful for your kind words, but I doubt I'll ever be kicked out of the Kingdom of Euresia.

"That's quite a confidence.

　As soon as he grasped Ils' hand, he became convinced that Ils was a real person.
　Without reverting to liquid metal, he squeezes back strongly.
　And then this action took an unexpected turn.

---- So, this is a water nullification spell. I'm sure you've got a lot of experience with magic, if you can even use this kind of magic.

I'm sorry.

　My magic is instantly detected.
　At that moment, my thoughts completely stopped, and I could clearly feel the sweat running down my back.
