chapter 35
35 – Prologue End
“What event is it?”
I couldn’t help but panic when I saw this unexpected message.
Because it was so out of the blue, why are they holding an event to celebrate all of a sudden? I didn’t understand that part.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with anything like an event or something.
‘Hmm… Are you trying to congratulate me for all the hard work you’ve done so far?’
However, I soon understood what kind of message this message was.
Perhaps he’s trying to congratulate me because I’ve worked hard.
To put it simply, I think it would be easier to think of it as a simple event.
I didn’t think hard, I thought a little easier, and the answer came quickly.
‘Well, it wouldn’t be bad to have fun once in a while.’
He has heard the prophecy that the empire will perish and the kingdom of Alprada will become the center of the continent.
As it was in this situation, it seemed that the two of them were in a lot of trouble.
I can’t help but feel a lot of anxiety and worry.
So, it seems like they want to reverse the atmosphere somehow.
If you think too gloomy, it won’t work, so I roughly understood what the two of them were thinking.
‘If it’s something like that, it wouldn’t be bad.’
I couldn’t help but smile.
Because Alkena and Lucy who were thinking like this were a little cute.
It wouldn’t hurt to hang out with them a little.
“Why are you laughing, Xerath?”
“Huh? Nothing.”
While I was laughing like this, Latika sneaked up to me from the side and tilted her head.
Latika asked what kind of fun thoughts she had, and I gave her an appropriate answer.
“I’m leaving right away. Are you okay?”
“Yes…!”
In any case, it would be better to go and see Latika for yourself than to explain it now.
Latika is probably very happy when she meets someone new.
Also, Lucy and Alkena will welcome Latika.
“Okay. Let’s get going.”
Anyway, I should hurry up and go to Alprada Kingdom.
I took Latika and returned to the kingdom.

Zerath came back after working hard for the kingdom and the world. Alkena and Lucy diligently prepared a party for Xerath.
You don’t know what will happen in the future, and very difficult things may happen.
Before that kind of situation comes, shouldn’t we heal at least?
With that in mind, Lucy and Alkena prepared a grand party in the kingdom.
“You mean this is a specialty sake?”
“Yes…! Queen. One shot of this drink will solve everything.”
But of course, if you ask if it’s only for a sound purpose, that’s not the case either.
Lucy received the pink potion from Alkena. Lucy looked at the potion for a moment.
The so-called ‘potion that makes love come true’ had two effects.
First of all, if you eat it, you will feel like you are drunk after a while, and secondly, your libido will be inflamed.
‘If you use this…’
This potion was the essence of this party.
Lucy’s plan to topple Xerath, this potion will probably accomplish that plan.
Feed this to Xerath at today’s party and form a relationship with him. This was Lucy’s plan.
But.
‘Ugh… Is this correct?’
But when I tried to do it again, I didn’t have the courage.
If you don’t do it, you will regret it, and if you do it even though you know that procrastination is useless, your courage will die.
Should I use this now? Wouldn’t it be better to wait slowly? I think, and it interferes with her decision.
‘Ugh… What the hell am I supposed to do?’
But if she procrastinates on that, she will be ignoring Arcenna, who gave her the beginning.
I couldn’t help but worry about it. She knows enough not to drag her on.
But, as expected, now that she’s not feeling up to the courage, her hesitation has gone very, very deep, and she’s really confused and worried.
It was Xerath’s visit that helped her decide in that situation.
“Lucy. I’m back.”
“Welcome, Xerath.”
Just as he was preparing and waiting for the party, Xerath returned to the castle.
It wasn’t long before she was happy to see his face after a long time.
She found a woman she hadn’t seen next to Xerath, and her face was not in the watermelon to stiffen.
“But… Who’s the woman next to you?”
“Ah… This is the magician named Latika I was looking for.”
“Ah… Hello. My name is Latika, an alumnus of Xerath’s academy. Please take good care of me, my queen.”
A black-haired, cute-looking wizard who introduced herself as Latika.
That wizard is probably a wizard who is very helpful to the kingdom. She had heard of bringing a wizard, so she didn’t expect to bring someone.
But I didn’t expect to bring such a cute and pretty wizard.
‘Again… A woman like that…’
She’s a little cow-animal-feeling sorceress, though timid, she’s quite cute enough to trigger her protective instincts.
Moreover, Latika blushes while holding Xerath’s arm.
Lucy couldn’t help but be sure. Perhaps she, too, already has a strong crush on Xerath.
In this situation, Lucy finally realized her place.
‘I have to have a relationship with Xerath…!’
Now, he was in a position where he could be abandoned by Xerath at any time.
One is a saint from the continent, and the other is a mage who is good enough to be found by Xerath himself.
In front of really nice women, he was never in a position to relax or do anything like that.
Once I realized that, the will I had hesitated in was resolved again.
I couldn’t go back anymore.
This time, today, I decided to defeat Xerath…! She promised
“I see…! Come here quickly. I worked really hard today and cooked a lot. Let’s eat quickly.”
“Wow…! Really delicious?”
The operation has already been executed.
Let’s cook, Xerath immediately sits down.
It seems that Xerath missed Lucy’s food quite a bit during her long trip.
Xerath inhaled her food to his heart’s content without any suspicion, while Lucy took out her potion from her bosom.
‘This… Secretly…! Let’s go to Xerath.’
Then she poured the potion before handing him the drink.
“Eat slowly. Xerath. Chehala. Drink this too.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
The cup of the potion was in Xerath’s hand, and Lucy’s heart thumped.
Will he take this potion? Without any doubts? What if you notice something? It was for a while that I felt anxious thinking about it.
Gulp…! Gulp…!
Zerath drinks from his glass without question.
Looking at him, Lucy couldn’t help but slightly raise the corner of his mouth.
The operation was successful, and the party was able to finish safely and happily.
‘Whoa…! Now we’re breaking into his house.’
It was time for everyone to go to bed, and Lucy hurried to Xerath’s house.
At this time, when everything is ready, if he goes to Xerath, the entire operation will be completed.
‘Because Alkena is marking a magician named Latika.’
There was no one to interfere with this operation.
Because Alkena is holding Latika just in case.
Unexpectedly, the two of them got along well with each other.
Latika had no friends because she was an eccentric, and Alkena had no friends because she had been in church for a long time.
The two sympathized with each other and quickly developed into friends.
I didn’t have to worry about the two of them getting in my way.
Now all we really need to do is go into Xerath’s house.
With that thought, Lucy entered Xerath’s house and was able to run into Xerath.
“Huh…? What’s up Lucy?”
“Um…! It’s been a while. Can I stay by your side?”
“Uh. Do whatever you want.”
Zerath was quietly reading a book at home.
Looking at Xerath like that, Lucy calmly replied.
I didn’t explain my intentions properly, but you can just wait by his side.
When the two of us spent the night thinking that way.
‘Hmm… I’m finer than I thought?’
Lucy wasn’t feeling very well.
She
She had heard that the ‘love elixir’ was very effective.
She had been told that any man who took this drug could not stand his instincts.
However, Xerath looked perfectly fine.
As if you didn’t take the medicine.
‘Has the potion not worked?’
For some reason, I couldn’t help but feel bad.
Could it be that her own plans failed? The moment I thought so.
“Lucy, you don’t have to give me medicine.”
“…!?”
Xerath said something very unexpected.
When Xerath mentions medicine, it seems that he already knew all about his plan.
Seeing Xerath smiling at himself while smiling, Lucy couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
“Sorry…”
But even with that embarrassment, I felt a little bit guilty.
Have you ever been disappointed in me…? For some reason, he began to feel very embarrassed about himself for trying to trick and drug Xerath.
Xerath believed in himself, but he himself did such mean things…
What the hell did he do? When you can’t even lift your head because you’re overwhelmed with shame and guilt.
“What kind of apple is this all of a sudden?”
Xerath replied as if he didn’t understand.
Then Xerath strides toward him.
“I don’t need drugs. I already like you.”
Xerath confessed to Lucy…!
“…?!”
They kissed.
