Chapter 104: (1)
Ten days had passed since the territorial war had ended.
During that time, as planned, Kaiyan was able to negotiate substantial compensation through the Armis family, and, with the help of Viscount Vyraxar, Karian gained independence for his territory from Armis.
Furthermore, thanks to the arrival of the Mareon Investigative Unit a few days ago, Vyarolf and the assassins were presented as witnesses to expose Count Armiss wrongdoing.
This situation left the Armis family in a position where they needed to be cautious in the Mareon Empire for some time.
I wish I hadnt bought the artifact if I knew it would turn out like this.
[Yeah, I agree! We wasted our precious G-points for nothing. But still, we gained a lot from this war, so its fortunate in a way. And we can always find a use for the artifact later, right?]
I hope so. Otherwise, we could sell it at the Lukuba merchants. It might not fetch a high price like a transparent mask, though.
Kaiyan and Rieka were preparing to leave the Markain territory, where they had spent a considerable amount of time.
Everything had gone according to plan, and since Viscount Karian and Viscount Vyraxar had returned to their territories, Kaiyan, a foreigner, didnt need to stay here any longer.
Knock, knock.
As they were packing their belongings into an extradimensional space, someone knocked on the door.
Can I come in, Big Brother Kaiyan?
Come in,
Linda cautiously opened the door and entered.
Are you leaving now?
Yeah, I have some things to take care of, and theyve been postponed longer than I expected.
Im sorry. You helped me for no reason.
No, it wasnt that urgent. By the way, whats going on? I was going to visit before leaving anyway Why are you crying?
When Kaiyan put down the luggage and looked at Linda, tears were welling up in her big eyes.
Its because Im grateful. Not just to you but also to Mr. Anthon and the others, but you had no reason to help me.
A reason Well, there is a reason. I had to say goodbye to my family in an instant, too. So maybe seeing you reminded me of my sister.
That was the reason why Kaiyan had spent so much time helping Linda.
Seeing Linda made him think of his sister.
Vea
For a moment, he closed his eyes in a sad memory. Then, someone hugged him tightly.
Kaiyan, if you ever miss your sister, please come find me. Ill be your sister from now on.
Sure, Ill do that. Linda, take care of yourself.
Now, you can go in there.
The magician who had come with the Mareon Investigative Unit pointed to a magic circle drawn on the floor, and Linda, who had been standing by Kaiyans side, sent him a bright smile and a look that said, Lets go.
I should have avoided this if I knew it would turn out like this.
Who could have predicted that things would turn out this way?
A few hours ago, when he was about to leave Markain, Linda had asked him about his destination. He couldnt tell her he was heading to the dangerous Vantigas, so he had said the capital was his destination.
However, Linda had heard his words and assumed that he was going to accompany her to become an official lord in Mareon before he left. She had even suggested using the teleportation magic circle that wasnt used unless it was for something special.
[Kaiyan, why is your face red? You even said goodbye, hehe]
Well, thanks to that, weve saved some time. Rieka, its time to go into the pocket dimension, just in case.
To prepare for any unforeseen circumstances, Kaiyan placed Rieka into the pocket dimension and then walked toward the magic circle where Linda and the magician were waiting.
So, this is the teleportation magic circle Ive heard about.
The teleportation magic circle on the ground was filled with inscriptions in a language so strange and intricate that it left no room for gaps. Kaiyan had seen magic circles before, but the one on the ground felt different from anything he had encountered before.
Even for a noble appointment ceremony using a teleportation magic circle to bring a mere Baron is quite something.
Kaiyan had heard that activating a magic circle required at least five Circle Magicians or several high-grade mana stones. The Empire was truly something.
As Kaiyan stepped onto the magic circle, the magician who had drawn the circle nodded to another magician standing nearby and took out a communication device.
Ah, were coming from the Markain Territory!
-This is the Second Communication Magic Division of the Royal Castle. Confirmed Markain Territory.
The installation of the corresponding magic circle is complete. We request permission to use the teleportation magic circle for the appointment ceremony of the Markain Baron. There will be five individuals teleporting.
-Understood. The magic circle will be activated in one minute. For those using the magic circle, please remain still for your safety.
Got it.
The magician finished the communication and put away the device before hurrying to the magic circle.
In a moment, the magic will be activated, so please stay in your position. By the way, for those using the teleportation magic circle for the first time, you may feel a bit of nausea, so its recommended that you sit comfortably.
Upon hearing that some might feel nauseous, Linda quickly took her seat and looked at Kaiyan.
Arent you going to sit, Brother? The magician said its better for you to sit.
Im fine. My body has been trained on the battlefield.
Well, thats a relief.
Wooong!
A moment later, an immense amount of mana began to emanate from the mana stones placed at the edge of the magic circle, surrounding and enveloping the circle.
Its the Marleon Empires royal castle. Im looking forward to it.
Ugh!
Sir, are you okay?
No Im not okay at all.
The moment Kaiyan arrived at the Marleon Empires royal castle via the teleportation magic circle, he regretted not following the magicians advice and standing still. Why had he foolishly ignored the magicians words?
