"Well, it's precisely because Mary will be the next monarch of the Astronomy Department that I made this choice."
“…Huh?”
"The Animusphia family's desired designation as a Grand Master will be an extremely lengthy process, requiring careful observation and safeguarding by human law. We will require Britain's long-term support, so please consider this my understanding and statement of my position. I am willing to place the future of Animusphia in your hands."
Marisbury glanced at Mary.
Although he still had no expectations for his daughter, Mary was, after all, the heir to the throne of the Astronomical Monarch.
The twelve monarchs will all be born when their offspring are born.
Preparing things like wills in advance is to ensure the continuation of family heritage.
The monarch faces far more dangers than ordinary magicians, and the assassinations and struggles he faces are countless.
It's not surprising to die at any time.
If Marisbil dies unexpectedly, Mary will inherit the magic seals and all the property passed down by the Animusphia family, as well as the control of the entire astronomy department.
Therefore, he sent his daughter to the royal family.
It is undoubtedly the future of delivery astronomy.
"I see. Is this also a way for the Animusphia family to show their loyalty? As far as strategy is concerned, it's quite good. You're known outside as a recluse who doesn't participate in Clock Tower politics, but in this regard, you seem quite experienced."
Moran smiled and stared at Marisbury in front of him.
The smile is also very intriguing.
"It's not really a plot. My Animusphia family would never dare to use a plot against you... The truth is, Britain, with you at the helm, is our only escape route.
Without your support, the crown of the Animusphia family will have to wait for an heir in who knows how many years."
Marisbilly shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He rarely showed his true feelings, the bitterness that only people at the end of their rope would show.
If even Moran doesn't support Chaldea.
Then Marisbury would really be left with nowhere to go, and Chaldea's plan would be forced to be terminated indefinitely.
Chapter 386: Just Like a Little Fool [Please subscribe! Please give me flowers!]
Thousands of years have passed.
Now is the closest moment to the Animusphia family's long-cherished wish.
Once this opportunity is missed, we don’t know how many more centuries we will have to wait before future generations will have this opportunity again.
"Haha, Qing really doesn't hide it at all."
"A Britain led by the King is the only way for my Animusphia family to realize their long-cherished wish. Therefore, I have no need to hide anything from you. Animusphia has already given everything for you."
Maris Billy is incredibly frank.
Almost too frank to be a magician's.
With the courage to entrust his entire family to him like this, it must be said that he is indeed powerful as a monarch.
He showed his loyalty to his subjects to this extent.
Marisbury wanted to give away the family's future, while Moran only wanted Mary to become a schoolboy or a squire.
Both for Britain and for Moran himself.
This is a business that is sure to make money.
"You've gone to such lengths to show your sincerity. If I refuse, it would be truly inconsiderate. Well, it wouldn't be good to keep Mary waiting too long. If anyone saw her looking so uneasy, it might even damage my reputation."
Moran and Marisbury walked back into the classroom.
Almost exactly what Moran had in mind.
Just a moment's conversation between him and Marisbury had already made Mary as restless as a frightened little animal.
That look of anticipation is quite interesting.
"king......?"
"Mary, I don't really want our relationship to be based on purely political relations. I value personal will more than so-called mutual interests."
Moran said after a moment's consideration.
This step was not what Marisbury had expected. He thought Moran would agree directly.
As for Mary's own thoughts?
Marisbury hadn't given it a second thought.
Even if Mary didn't want to, he would have used it as a political negotiation and enforced it. For example, the Twelve Monarchs' lineages, the last thing they needed was the free will of their children.
"Father...did you agree to his request to let me enter the palace?"
"Well, I agree. That's why I'm asking you this. Mary, I hope you made this decision of your own volition.
Don't think about your family, don't think about your father, just ask your own heart. Then, give me an answer.
Whatever your answer is, I can guarantee that no one will blame you for your choice.
Here, I swear by the name of Britain."
Moran never liked to base his emotions on transactions.
If he were to let Mary become his student or attendant, he would most likely treat her the same as Rin and Sakura.
So, he needed to ask.
This is a matter of principle for Moran.
Throughout his life, Moran rarely treated women from a purely profit-oriented perspective.
He treats almost every woman with care.
Although his magic skills have reached the divine realm, this does not mean that he is as cold and heartless as a magician.
"Huh... I want to follow you! This isn't due to my father's arrangement, nor is it based on my family's long-cherished wish... I, Olga Marie Yasmiret Animusphia, want to follow and serve you from the bottom of my heart!"
Mary took a deep breath and said seriously.
However, when she finished speaking with great emotion, her little face suddenly turned red again.
I said these words in the heat of the moment.
What should I do, what should I do, Olga Marie... The King is so gentle and considerate... It's completely impossible to calm down...
My heart is beating so fast...I feel like I'm suffocating...No...Is it suffocating already?!
Words like this don’t pop up in my mind.
Mary couldn't suppress the feeling in her heart.
"...Haha, now that it's come to this, I have no choice but to respond. Mary, from now on, you will stay by my side."
Moran's smile was helpless.
At the same time, he put his hand on Mary's head and stroked it gently.
A feeling of emotion flowed into Mary's heart.
In the end, Mary could see that Moran was considering her and gave her the right to choose freely.
Mary was born in the Animusphia family.
It can be said that she was born to live for her family, and no matter how she thought about it, she had no choice but to agree with Moran.
There was no way Moran didn't know this.
However, he decided to give Mary the right to choose.
Mary was also convinced that if she really didn't want to enter the palace, Moran would really follow her wishes and reject Marisbury's proposal, and even take the initiative to protect her.
Thank you, King, for thinking of me so much.
Thank you, such a kind king.
Whether as a citizen or as a girl, Mary believes that Moran is a man worth following for her whole life.
"King...why do you think so highly of me?"
Afterwards, Mary and Moran wandered into the courtyard of the Modern Magic Department.
She asked the question while they were alone.
"If I really have to give you a reason...Mary, I can see your fragility and delicateness. Yeah, and your stubbornness right now, too. When it comes to being stubborn, you and I are actually quite similar... But, the most important thing...I think Mary, who's strong and easy to understand, is very cute. It's like..."
Moran replied thoughtfully.
He looked at the young noble girl beside him, and a smile of interest appeared on his handsome face.
"Yeah, just like a little fool."
“Idiot, idiot!? Uuuuuu… King… even you think I’m an idiot…?”
At this moment, Mary was in tears.
Not only did the only tutor who loved her call her a little fool, but now even Moran called her that.
That lost expression appeared on his face.
"There's no need to overthink it... Those who achieve great things are often fools who just keep going. Isn't that a good way to think? It's cute. I don't mean to belittle you."
"Not at all!"
Mary's complaints echoed in the courtyard.
Her name, Little Silly Mary, will not disappear from this world, and will always be remembered by Moran even in the future.
Of course, there is no derogatory meaning here.

Mary entered the palace and became a student of Moran.
Although her status is not as high as Rin and Sakura, who are Moran's direct disciples, she enjoys the same treatment as the two women.
Identity is nothing more than a business card in Moran's eyes.
For him, who is already at the pinnacle of power in Britain, his identity doesn't matter.
He is not a person who cares much about status.
In short, the news that Mary became a court student spread immediately, and such a thing could not be kept secret in the Clock Tower.
After learning about this, the monarchs had different attitudes.
Many people were amazed at the courage of the Animusphia family, who actually sent the heir to the head of the family away.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that.
The Animusphia family ostensibly held an aristocratic stance, but their policy had already shifted towards the royalists.
Their family's primary interest in the future would no longer be the Clock Tower, but the royal family. Of course, this would not affect the Animusphia family's relationship with other mage families.
Other magic families cannot establish connections with the royal family.
When the remaining eleven families saw Marisbury's move of giving away his daughter, many ideas emerged in their minds.
However, for Moran, 20, this is something he needs to worry about in the future.
The reform of the Clock Tower is proceeding slowly.
Moran took the lead in using Britain's national strength to aid modern magic, and this decision was directly passed in Parliament.
The Cabinet Council is nothing but a formality.
They were simply institutions that existed to facilitate the operation of the country when Britain had not elected a king.
Once, Britain chose a king.
Then their cabinet members will have to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the king, and the entire cabinet will basically become a tool for governing the country, and they will absolutely obey the king's orders and guidelines.
This is a system that Britain has forged over thousands of years.
When this system was first proposed, it did not go smoothly. It gradually took shape after going through blood and fire.
