I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

12. The Princess and the Grand Duke of the North are in total chaos

1.

“Is this the imperial palace or a hotel?”

It’s already seven o’clock in the afternoon.

I was lying on the soft bed with great pleasure, enjoying my leisure time. Recalling that today was a very eventful day.

Leaving my new hometown where I had lived for 20 years, I came to the imperial palace, and I had time to discuss with my master what to learn from tomorrow. Left.

And after that, I spent a leisurely day lounging around alone in my room and taking a nap.

To be honest, it was a leisurely day, but I did this every day at home.

It was such a comfortable and comfortable rest that I wondered if I had not accidentally come to the imperial palace, but actually had a vacation. When I wake up after taking a nap, I prepare delicious meals for myself, and there is no father who nags me to keep my physique because it is not noble.

Well, I believe it. This is the right hotel.

Apart from being a little bored, I was in the midst of taking a comfortable and sweet rest.

– Ah. Rudrick-kun, can you hear me?

I heard Master’s voice. The identity of the voice is a crystal ball placed in the room.

I jumped up and put my hand on the crystal ball, and I responded by activating communication magic.

“Yes, I can hear you, Master.”

– I’m taking a break. I’m sorry, but I called you for something important.

“Suddenly important?’

I replied as if wondering. Magic research under the guise of class starts tomorrow, and it’s already evening, so what’s so important at this time?

I don’t know why, but Master’s voice through the crystal ball seemed a little trembling. The voice trembled not from bewilderment or surprise, but from some kind of delight.

– …… This old man was undoubtedly convinced that Ludrick-kun was the most talented he had ever seen, but he found another one with a talent comparable to that of Rudrick-kun.

“……Yes? What are you talking about again?”

– While I was walking down the street for a short walk…… Hey, it’s cumbersome to solve and explain. I’ll take that tax cut soon.

“Yes? You’re coming now? Right now?”

I hurriedly asked, but no answer came.

Corrupted communication.

I muttered as I looked at the crystal ball where communication was cut off with a bewildered face.

“What is this grandmother saying all of a sudden?”

I was dumbfounded.

So, to sum up the story before it was cut off, while taking a walk around town, I found another person with a talent for magic similar to mine.

And you’re bringing him now? So you’ve already made a disciple?

You act very quickly.

It’s been awhile since I thought that with a bewildered face.

As I calmed down and calmly thought about it again, something was strange. If being a great wizard isn’t actually like rolling stones on the road, can such a talent be easily discovered?

That’s two people including me in one day.

“……This feels very strong.”

Master suddenly went out for a walk, and he picked up a promising future archmage with great talent.

If you ask if it doesn’t make sense, again, it doesn’t, but it feels like it’s very contrived somewhere.

I hurriedly walked out of the door, putting on a robe as my outer garment.

The destination is Master’s laboratory, where we stopped by earlier in the morning.

If you go there and see with your own eyes the guy who will become Master’s disciple just like me, it will be clear. I mean, how did this happen?

2.

I was lucky.

There really was no other way to express it.

Just before returning, the role Silfia played in Yu-Gi was a human wizard. Rudrick is a role that nodded, saying, “That’s such a concept.”

Dragon’s play is a kind of method acting in which a dragon becomes an actor and takes on a certain role, putting all his energy into it.

The play right before her return was the longest for her, and it should have remained as a paragraph of her sad memories that she will never forget.

‘Sometimes things go this far.’

Sylphia, who quietly followed the old wizard, thought to herself with a happy smile.

Before her return, she clearly showed excellent magic skills and went through the process of being appointed as a mage belonging to the imperial palace, but this time, she did not have to go through such a cumbersome process and immediately fell in the eyes of the court mage Lorenzo Tonali. Was about to become a disciple of

‘…… Huh, I never thought he would have that much mana.’

‘Yes?’

‘Don’t misunderstand and listen. I am an old man named Lorenzo Tonali, the court mage, and the mana circulating around the lady is unusual. What kind of harmony did he have?’

…… Good was good, although her court mage’s first words, her eyes flipped upon seeing her, were devastating enough to remind her of her cult’s propagation.

For her, who was worried about how to solve her problems, Lorenzo’s existence, which allowed her to skip the process of becoming a wizard in the imperial palace in the same way as she had before returning, was very attractive.

‘There are cases where humans can be helpful like this. Unexpectedly.’

Lorenzo Tonali.

In Silfia’s memories, the name was remembered as an old human who could use a little magic, but it was strange that that memory would help again at times like this.

In fact, even if you are a fairly ignorant person, if you saw the way Lorenzo approached you, he would be immediately dismissed as an impostor.

“The mana resembles a flame.”

“Yes?”

While Sylpia was lost in her thoughts, Lorenzo, who was leading her, opened her mouth.

“Sometimes among wizards, there are those who are gifted with a special talent for magic of a certain attribute type.”

“…….”

“And a hundred out of a hundred, such people tend to match their specialized attributes and hair color. Just like you. Fire-type specialties are red, thunderbolt-type specialties are yellow, and dark-type specialties are black…… Well, something like this.”

“That’s right. I was more talented with flame type magic than other magic.”

“As expected.”

Lorenzo shook his head as if he knew that.

Of course not.

The reason her hair is red is simply because Sylphia is a red dragon. The reason why he has a talent for flame magic is also because he is a red dragon.

But Sylpia didn’t feel the need to correct Lorenzo’s misunderstanding. They just casually agreed, and first of all, they focused only on entering the imperial palace, which could be called the center of the human empire, without any suspicion.

Even if it’s rotten, it’s a dragon’s play, but if she didn’t go through these normal methods, she had to go through a lot of effort to enter her imperial palace.

‘I was thinking of using extensive mind manipulation…… It really worked out better than I thought.’

To the extent that Silfia thought so without thinking.

Manipulating the minds of hundreds or thousands of people in the imperial palace to make them recognize the lie that a magician named Silfia was originally in the imperial palace is a cumbersome and cumbersome task even for Sylphia.

Moreover, as it violates even the ‘rules’ that are implicitly kept among all dragons, the burden of risk must have been high.

As much as she no longer had to go through that process, Lorenzo was like her benefactor in a way.

I came to the capital of the empire, but met the court wizard Lorenzo Tonali on the road and headed straight to the imperial palace.

If not to say that I was really lucky, how else can I express it?

Sylpia must have been heading to the imperial palace in such good spirits.

“That’s right, watch my mind. I need to tell you this good news.”

“Yes?”

“Actually, today is the day I took one more student in addition to you. I accompanied Her Highness on an inspection tour, and I found a boy with talent as good as you.”

Silpia questioned her sudden words, and Lorenzo’s continued words made the blood in her whole body cool.

Inspection. Talent. Boy.

‘A boy wizard with talents like mine…… ?’

In an instant, Ludrick’s face appeared in Silfia’s mind, then disappeared. She had already experienced her future several years later, and it was natural for her to draw Rudrick’s face the moment those three words were put together.

At least in her memory, she had never seen a future where a wizard with that much talent, and a man at that, appeared, except for Rudrick.

As Sylpia hurriedly tried to ask for confirmation, Lorenzo smiled and continued her words.

“Yes. Earl of Weiss. At first, I didn’t even know that such a territory existed. How could I have known that the talent of an archmage was hidden in such an insignificant place?”

“Ludric Weiss.”

“Hmm? What did you say?”

“……It’s nothing.”

Country of Weiss.

That’s right, Sylpia. She even forgot her duty as a dragon in the moment of play, and the name she loved so much was Ludrick Weiss.

“Anyway, you and Ludrick-kun can be said to be alumni who will study under me, so we should say hello to each other when we return to the palace.”

“…….”

Silpia shut her mouth.

Her future as she knew it has changed. At this point, Rudrick should still be in his estate, but for some reason, he has already moved to the capital and entered the court mage’s apprentice.

And if it was discovered while accompanied by the princess who was on an inspection tour…….

‘Princess Elena has already…… ?’

The conclusion came easily.

“Ah, Rudrick-kun. Can you hear me? I’m resting, sorry…”

Lorenzo, who was walking in the lead, was using the crystal ball to connect Rudric with communication magic, but Silfia didn’t care. To be more precise, she already had no time to care.

According to a simple conclusion, it was not just her who returned to her past.

‘That’s how it happened.’

The red eyes narrowed. For an instant, her pupils lost control of their emotions and turned into reptilian ones.

Sylpia’s gaze turned to Lorenzo.

As he couldn’t control his emotions for a moment, dragons sprouted on his skin and his pupils changed, but the old wizard didn’t seem to notice because he was distracted by the communication magic.

Sylphia’s mouth went up slightly.

“You’re lucky.”

A low murmur. With her satisfied face, Silpia added in her polite low voice.

“That too.”
