How could I say it so boldly.

 

He stared at Meldenique's face to read for a hint of lies.

 

But her smile was spotless.

 

Catching a piece of confetti from above my hand she said.

 

"And I think I'll be happier tomorrow."

 

A free idealist.

 

From one to ten a woman full of things he can't understand.

 

A person who seems to seek the complete opposite of his life.

 

But...

 

Cassian scratched his locked neck and whispered low.

 

"I hope you will continue to be happy."

 

He looked down at Meldenique who was looking at him.

 

I looked at her in the daylight with several gold-colored papers attached to her cheeks.

 

Her green eyes contained an indescribable wonder.

 

He took off each piece of paper on Méldenique's cheek and smiled with his eyes bent.

 

"It's nice to see."

 

It was more pleasing to see Meldenique happy, not Hessmann or Vaveloa.

 

There is only one reason.

 

A society in which idealists like Meldenique and immature children are happy is better than a society in which the high aristocrats and the corrupt are happy.

 

But Meldenique looked surprised at what I said.

 

"Are you serious?"

 

"Yes."

 

She smiled, revealing her rabbit-like front teeth in response to the simple answer, and immediately took a step back.

 

She grabbed both sides of the dress and bowed one leg in farewell.

 

"I also wish the Crown Prince to always be happy. Because he is a precious customer!"

 

Passionate and free people shine.

 

Until now, Cassian thought that word was just a normal comment.

 

Suddenly, double-sided confetti is flying around, and the woman in front of me is only excited at the thought of running her own store.

 

"Please visit our stationery store more often!"

 

It was even a funny situation where a young dongsaeng was laughing from afar.

 

One side of my chest swelled up stiffly.

 

It felt like an arrow with a dull point was stuck in it.

 

He quietly turned his eyes and called out to the servant behind his back.

 

Not long ago, Cassian heard rumors secretly circulating in society.

 

'It was said that the Marquis of Kinnoa was not of a cursed bloodline.'

 

It was a topic that made me wonder strangely.

 

Despite being very busy with his daily routine, he began to find out information about the Marquis of Kinnoa.

 

It was just a kind of enthusiasm for learning.

 

While Meldenique was visiting the secret room, he had his attendant take out the books from the Imperial Palace.

 

 

 

"This is the genealogy of Marquis Kinnoa in the secret room of the Imperial Library."

 

In the genealogy, Cassian discovered a peculiar point.

 

Contrary to the popular myth that spread widely in the world, the curse of Marquis Kinnoa was that there were many exaggerations.

 

'·········This kind of favor would be fine.'

 

You cannot prevent or help her avoid excommunication in Vaveloa.

 

Cassian was a clear principleist, and Meldenique could not be his complete exception.

 

To help her think positively about herself.

 

This was a very light favor that could be done for a friend.

 

"Please check it out."

 

Hesitating he added cautiously.

 

"I've read it, too. Personally...... I don't think that the marquis of Kinnoa is a cursed family."

 

Cassian was nervous.

 

He smirked to himself as he looked at her expression strangely.

 

Meldenique opened her eyes wide as she looked at the book.

 

"Thank you! This is a rare book recorded by the Imperial genealogist of the Kinnoa family. Can you give me things like this?"

 

Meldenique's eyes twinkled.

 

"Yes. It's the only record left about Marquis Kinnoa after rumors spread that he was cursed by a dragon."

 

Meldenique nodded at his words.

 

She thought it was definitely worth digging into.

 

'It's a little uncomfortable that the dragon curse that I had suddenly disappeared.'

 

She will soon be awarded the title Marquis of Kinnoa, so it would be right to have a genealogy.

 

Meldenique, who thought it was a perfect gift for the occasion, greeted him brightly.

 

Axion giggled loudly from behind the backs of the two smiling faces.

 

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

 

After a pleasant day at the Imperial Palace, the morning of the excommunication trial finally dawned.

 

I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and rubbed my swollen eyes with ice.

 

In order to relax, I decided to read the book "The Genealogy of the Marquis of Kinnoa after the Curse" that Prince Cassian gave me yesterday.

 

However, in this book, there were densely written sentences that made me suffer more.

 

"Dominic. It's written in this book, but under the dragon's curse, your skin will discolor and your hands will suffer from a rumpy skin disease."

 

"······· Really?"

 

"Yeah. And when the dragon's power is expressed, something like a black magic circle appears in an instant and disappears."

 

"Hmm."

 

"There is only one case of losing mana, Marquis Kinnoah, but······· If you look at this genealogy."

 

I shook my head and clenched my chin.

 

"·······Among the generations of Marquis blood, there were some who had awakened even a little bit of special abilities. Do you know what happened to those people?"

 

I took my eyes off the genealogy and looked at Dominic.

 

"Kkik. All died within a few months."

 

"That sounds like a scary story?"

 

Dominic frowned.

 

"If you look at this genealogy, it's like that. The person who made his name as a genius painter died immediately, and the genius pharmacist died."

 

I shivered.

 

It's a really creepy ghost story.

 

'You either run out of mana or die. The alternative is extreme.'

 

According to this genealogy book, there is a high probability that I, an alchemist, will die soon.

 

I put my hand on my regular beating heart and tried to suppress it.

 

'Whatever happens, I will never die.'

 

I will definitely survive, punish the cheating men and women, and survive as the owner of a big stationery store.

 

There is only one thing I can do right now.

 

After escaping Vaveloa and receiving the title of Marquis of Kinnoa, it is about getting to know the people who are officially in the family.

 

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

 

Finally, I entered the court of justice of the Imperial Palace to be completely finished with Vaveloa.

 

'What is this feeling. I came yesterday, but I feel like it's been a while.'

 

I struggled to keep my expressionless face and entered the courtroom.

 

The atmosphere inside was too disturbing.

 

'To be honest, everyone gathered here is looking forward to my downfall.'

 

But I have no intention of going down as they expected.

 

No one standing here knows.

 

The fact that I'm holding the key to this game.

 

If I crash for a while, there is a stepping stone for a higher leap.

 

I remembered what Isaac had said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[ 'Because we're on the same side.' ]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it because it's the first time someone has said that to me.

 

'I have nothing to ask for help today. I'm doing it alone.'

 

However, I was left with a little question.

 

Why did you bring the bird model when you weren't going to ask Isaac for help?

 

However, I like the fact that there is a pocket inside the dress.

 

Is it better to think of it as a talisman?
