Chapter 42: A Secret Between Two People

Those who were seized were led inside by the guards. Anyone who causes trouble is banned for the time being, even if he or she is a nobleman. This was possible because of the reasonably high status of Margrave Heine.

Given that, maybe the territories where horse races can be held are limited. Perhaps there could be some cooperation with powerful nobles, but unless they are on good terms with each other, it is likely to be a source of trouble.

There’s a chance this won’t be as much of a rivalry as we thought. If that happens, we will make a lot of money.

“Julius, what was that?”

Caro asked stealthily. She seemed to be curious about what kind of magic I had used. It would be better to tell her and keep her quiet.

“I used a ‘hold’ magic earlier.”

“I’ve never heard of that magic.”

Caro nodded her head. Could it be a magic that doesn’t exist in this world?　I don’t think so.

“It’s a very special kind of magic, so it’s not surprising that you don’t know about it.”

“I see.”

she seemed to be convinced somehow. Is this going to be all right? She’s still clinging to my arm, though. Maybe she’s still scared, she’s shaking a little.  Let’s stay like this for a while.

By the way, I’m glad Caro’s breasts are flat. I would have been in trouble if she had a bulge. Ah, father is bowing to His Majesty the King. I’m sure he’s apologizing for the commotion. If it’s too unsafe, he might have it banned.

But I don’t think His Majesty the King, who seems to like gambling, would ban it. …… Rather, I feel that the nobleman who was just taken would suffer tremendous damage. I don’t think they would expect His Majesty the King to be here. Even in the territory of Margrave Heine, only a few people know that His Majesty the King was coming.

With the commotion subsided, Chloe’s attention seemed to have wandered away from the brawl. Chloe turned around and stopped moving.

“Hey, you two, what are you trying to pull!”

“eeeh!”

It’s a complete misunderstanding. The two people who are clinging to my arms are doing so simply out of fear, but for some reason, Chloe seems to see it differently. Somehow it reminds me of the relationship between brother Alex , Miss Daniela and Miss Hilda. No way.

“What’s the matter, Julius?　Well, well, well, Julius can’t be left out of the loop.”

Perhaps he heard my screams, Alex came to my rescue. Of course, both Miss Daniela and Miss Hilda are attached to his arms. Ah, could it be that I’m in a three-way?

Since my sister is my relative, it can’t be helped, but will it be like two people fighting for the remaining one arm?

“Brother Alex, it’s not like that. Rosalia and Caro are just scared because of the brawl earlier.”

“Oh, really?”

Chloe’s voice returned to normal from the low voice she had used earlier. It seems that she realized that she was mistaken. Thank God.

“I see, Julius is very dependable. I wish I could have seen Julius defeat the wyvern.”

“Wyvern?”

Chloe raises her voice. Rosalia, who was clinging to my arm, freaked out.

“Brother Alex, please don’t go any further because Rosalia is scared.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

Alex-oniisama raises one hand and apologizes as if he didn’t mean any harm.

That was probably on purpose. Maybe he’s trying to get me and Caro or Chloe to hook up. He’s trying to get more of his own people to join him. That’s not fair, brother. Don’t drag me into this.

“Julius, a Wyvern ……”

“Uh, Chloe, we’ll talk about it later. Look, the next race is starting.”

In this way, I managed to divert the conversation. But it was useless after returning to the mansion.

After returning to the mansion, we separated to our respective salons.

Father took His Majesty to the salon with the best view in the Margrave’s house. And then Alex and his companions were in the next highest grade salon.

As usual, Miss Daniela and Miss Hilda were smiling and glaring at each other so much that you could have heard a bee stinging sound, and I was not very interested in entering that room. So we, the children, took refuge in a suitable open salon.

“I know it must be hard for you too, Brother Alex.”

I drank a glass of cold juice offered by a servant and felt a little cooler. I was glad that this was a summer resort. It is thanks to this that I am able to stay this cool in the middle of summer.

“Is Julius really going to say that?”

Brother Cain is smiling bitterly. I think he might be right. I’m starting to envy Brother Cain.

“Hey, tell me about the wyvern story.”

“Chloe, that’s fine, but I think some people don’t want to hear about it.”

I glanced at Rosalia and Caro. Rosalia has a blue face, but Caro did not. No, she looked rather like she wanted to listen.

“Julius, you should talk to them.”

Saying that, brother Cain took Rosalia to a sofa at a little distance away. Rosalia probably didn’t want to listen either. Without saying a word, she followed brother Cain.

When there were only three of us left at the table, I talked about the wyvern attack.

“Windblade!?　How could you use such high-level magic? I’m amazed.”

Chloe shook her head and sighed. Caro, on the other hand, was unresponsive. Since I used magic that Caro didn’t know about without chanting, so she may have taken that as a matter of course.

“Hey, can you do any other awesome magic?”

“Amazing magic huh …… what kind of magic for example?”

Oh, shit. I should have researched more about magic if this was going to happen. For better or worse, since I was only thinking about magic potions, I completely neglected to gather any other information. From now on, I might as well look into both magic and magical tools.

“Well, what about things like …… fireballs?”

“Probably… I don’t know what kind of magic I can use myself!”

“I have a magic teacher, but I only learned elementary level magic.  He said, ‘You have to be able to use elementary magic in a flowing way.”

I threw my hands up in the air as if to say, “I can’t help it”. I was not lying. The teacher really said that and made me use elementary magic.

“Ah, it’s the same everywhere. Me too.”

“What?　Is it the same in the royal family?”

“It seems that by using elementary magic enough times, you will get better at controlling magic. If you can’t do that, they can’t teach you intermediate magic.”

I see. It is true that if a child uses more powerful intermediate-level magic and mishandles it, there could be tremendous damage.

“So how did you learn high-level magic? I’m sure Caro’s curious too, right?”

Ugh, Chloe looks bad!　She’s trying to get Caro on her side, isn’t she?

“Huh?　I’m certainly curious, but I wonder if …… Julius has secrets he can’t tell anyone?”

Caro glances at me. On her face, it was clearly written, “It’s a secret between the two of us”. This is the one who has completely grasped my weakness.
