The Evil Queen's Beautiful Principles

The next night.

I was reading a book at ease at the end of my work.

I want to calm my mind a little before I meet Marquis Slade tomorrow.

"... Master Luxeria, you like that book."

Alicia murmurs as she brews tea.

I was reading the Book of Founding Nation.

I have kept it with me since I talked to Freesia and Howard and I read it when I have time.

"Yes... maybe.... has Alicia ever read this book?

"That's right. Several times when I was little."

"That's right...."

Patten and the sound of the book closing sounded.

"... I think the Book of Foundations is a story depicting a magical struggle."

Suddenly, Alicia leans toward Kyotong.

"For example, the devil that the first king fought. There are no horrible monsters in this world, are there?

"Is it a dragon that comes out of a story? Sure, yeah."

"So these demons are the ones who harm the magic, and the first king built this country to protect the magic."

"Oh, I see... Indeed, I have heard that this country is more tolerant of magic than other countries. I can't use magic, but sometimes it breaks out, so if I was in another country, I might have been in trouble. Well... in my case, even in this country, I have caused you trouble."

It's not your fault that this is happening.

... because until you got involved in my kidnapping... until you lost your memory, you were a capable wizard.

Seeing the bitter smile on her face, the words went out in a reflective manner.

"... a magical outburst is like an accident. You don't have to think you're losing. Instead of bothering me, you're here, and I'm very helpful."

After all, I spinned the words without touching on the past.

"Thank you, Luceria."

Alicia laughed as if the flowers were broken.

"So if magic breaks out and someone hates you, tell me."

"It's okay. Gentlemen, it's very gentle."

"Really? Well, I wonder if Freesia will be okay..."

"That's right.... and yet, the first king was awesome. I can't believe I built a country to protect my magic powers."

"My imagination."

... what would this first king think if he saw this country now?

If you look at the current situation where there are people who reject magical children and people who handle and sell them.

Am I sad? Am I angry?

... or give up?

"But somehow it falls into your heart.... and the treasure sword I inherited, I wonder if the prayer of the first king has taken shape. That's interesting, isn't it?"

"... including me, I'm happy to have the magic of this country."

"Oh, what happened suddenly?

"I'm sure Lucería will be a wonderful king like the first king. I was born happy."

"... Alicia. You're buying too much."

Her gentle imagination filled me with bitter laughter.
