Cashmere seemed to be having a good time, and without noticing the knights, he gently moved his face close to Flare’s ear, as if he were tormenting his sister with exaggerated gestures, like a stage actor.
“Let me tell you something good. I have confirmed information that Father has passed away.”
Flare’s one eyebrow, which had been following Cashmere only with her gaze, rose slightly at those words.
“Did they want you to kill him? Hmmm… so do I. The queen probably won’t be coming back either. With Lord Bert and Abel gone, Caenista is in disarray. And I have taken control of the Duke of Prata and the Council of Senior Nobles, and I am the hero of this country–gasp.”
At that moment, Flare bit into Cashmere’s throat and chomped it down.
Cashmere’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he fell back and collapsed, and Flare spat out the piece of meat and scowled slightly as she licked her bloody, red lips with her tongue.
“…Tastes bad. Brother, are you sure you haven’t been eating poorly? Please be careful.”
The knights at his side couldn’t understand what had happened, and the blood that gushed out like a fountain from Cashmere’s neck as he fell on his back stained Flare, and the blood that flowed began to hide the magic circle on the floor, and the blood stained talismans that bound Flare began to burn.
“Well, sorcerers, hold Flare back!”
“Quickly, help Cashmere-sama!”
The knights, after coming back to their senses, shouted to the court magicians, who were waiting for them, to move the already exhausted Cashmere away from Flare, who was beginning to burn.
As the burnt-out talismans began to peel off and the water on the floor began to boil, the court magicians rushed in to suppress Flare with layers upon layers of spirit-sealing magic.
After that, Flare was given more than twice as many charms to seal the spirits and seal her magic, and she was put on high alert by the magicians and knights until her execution tomorrow.
“Heh. That was a nice way to die. Onii-sama.”

In the Royal Capital, the Crown Prince had moved the Royal Guards to collect food from merchants, causing some knights and soldiers to desert from the national army and putting them in danger, but the King, who received tribute from the merchants, had the Kings Guards withdraw, so there was no bloodshed.
But, as a result of the incident, there were no more incidents of outlaws attacking stores in the noble district in the Royal Capital, and on the surface, the city had regained its calm.
The King, to maintain his dignity, asked those merchants to provide supplies for the Magic Academy graduation party, and the merchants, in return, asked for and were granted a royal warrant for access of wagons to the Royal Capital.
As announced, a graduation party from the Academy of Magic and the public execution of Flare, the rebel who destroyed the Royal Capital and tormented the people, took place.
The purpose of the event was to divert and relieve the people’s discontent, and at the offer of Alice, the beloved child of salvation, an admission fee was charged so that the commoners could watch the execution.
The standing buffet-style party held in the garden was attended not only by those concerned but also by the royal family, including the King, and all the nobles of the Royal Capital, and among the graduates and current students who were pressured by them were the Crown Prince Julio, Ian, son of the Prime Minister, Maron, son of the first court mage, and Luka, grandson of the Archbishop. surrounded by these beautiful boys, was Alice, who was putting this month’s “Friend Fee” into her pocket.
At the same time, Flare was being carried out of the dungeon at the royal castle, guarded by Maron’s father, the first court mage, the court magician corps, and the Royal Guards.
