　I see...they just barely know of Will's existence. Well, I don't think anyone but the king knows that he has been driven away to the poor village.

　The look of relief on his face was the very expression of concern for his family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why did he do such a terrible thing to them when he loved them so much? It was the king's mother who did it. She could have stopped it.

"But I didn't expect that..."

　I left the room and opened my mouth a few moments later. Duke tilted his head slightly at my words.

"About what?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can't believe the king was so worried about Masaka."

"My father respected my uncle, you know."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......, you should have helped him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You were being manipulated."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Duke's voice was too low for me to hear what he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If he mumbled so that I couldn't hear him, I guess I would just get lost if I tried to ask him back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without mentioning it, I changed the subject a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How come the king doesn't know so much about what's going on in the poor village?　That wall of fog that confines the poor village is water magic, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's still a mystery to me, too. My father was supposed to be looking for a solution for the poor village, but he had no idea about my uncle's situation."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has a complicated look on his face when he says this.

"So, what are you going to do now?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Will it work?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, by "she" I mean Cather Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, she's not a bad person."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... can't deny that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is not a diabolical person, even though she is not my type of person at all. That's the trouble.

"I guess the saints finally get to show what they're made of, huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It would be a shame not to use that power."

"You might say, 'I'm not sure I want to use my magic ......,'" he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll make him use it."
