̊ · : * ✧* : · ̊

After entering the drawing room, Lucis pondered whether he should leave again. The two were so engrossed in their affectionate laughter and conversation that there seemed to be no room for him to interject. Even though they knew he had arrived, they just exchanged greetings and didn’t seem to have any intention of talking at all.

“Let’s get to work!”

Finally, when he exclaimed like this, Leilia realized that she had been too focused on Cassel.

“All right.”

In response to her words, Lucis brought out some documents.

“We’ve looked into the transportation, population, and financial situation of the Balkan region.”

Saying so, he handed the documents to Cassel and Leilia.

“You can install amenities and warp here, but it will only work if people gather. How do you plan to do that?”

“For now, we have to go down and look for it first.”

It was necessary to install a warp. Leilia also had to work in the capital, and the same went for Cassel.

“Well, once the warp is installed, the population will increase slightly, but there will still be limitations.”

“It used to be a thriving area in the past.”

“The problem is that all the prosperous areas have been turned into imperial lands for the imperial family, leaving only the less valuable lands.”

Lucis gritted his teeth.

“Anyway, are you really not going to protest? There are ways to capitalize on public opinion.”

Cassel shook his head at Lucis’s words.

“If we make a deal with the Emperor, Leilia’s position will be in danger.”

At his firm words, Lucis bit his lip.

“Leilia, are there any factories that produce magic stones from the Hyllan Merchants Association?”

“There are.”

As Leilia responded without thinking before she looked at her husband, Lucis also widened his eyes for a moment and looked at him.

“Magic stone?”

Magic stone was needed when using magic. Therefore, discovering magic stones was important enough to be considered part of a national project.

“I haven’t heard any news about magic stones being discovered there.”

Cassel casually replied to her words.

“That’s right. I’m just starting to feel that energy now.”

“Cassel, really?”

Leilia asked, feeling uncertain.

“Can you feel the magic stones?”

Surely humans couldn’t do that, could they? However, Cassel answered her and Lucis.

“I can feel it.”

Both of them were astonished.

“No. Y-You, you can sense magic stones?!”

Lucis stammered as he asked. Leilia, after a moment of stunned silence, quickly regained her composure and asked her husband.

“Are you more towards magic or swordsmanship?”

Leilia asked, feeling a bit curious. Whether it was through swordsmanship or magic, if one surpassed human capabilities in one aspect, they could sense magic stones. It was information that ordinary people didn’t know, but Leilia knew.

Cassel gazed at her and Lucis.

“I’m a sword master. After reaching that stage, I was able to sense the location of magic stones.”

Sword master.

It was the highest level that a human could reach through swordsmanship. It didn’t just mean having strong physical strength. The presence of a sword master changed the fate of the country. That was why if a sword master emerged, even the Empire couldn’t treat that person carelessly.

“But I’m still at the beginning stage, so I’m not perfect yet. I was planning to tell you when it’s a little more perfect, but it seems I have to say it now.”

Leilia’s mind became complicated with thoughts.

Her husband had just entered the beginning stages of becoming a sword master.

And he was in his early twenties.

Cassel was twenty-two years old, still young, yet he was a sword master.

It is said that once you reach the perfect state of a sword master, even if poison entered you, it would become impossible to be poisoned due to the energy of the sword absorbing the poison.

But what if you were still at the beginning stage?

It is said that even if poison is introduced when reaching the perfect state of a Sword Master, it is impossible to be poisoned due to the energy of the sword absorbing the poison. But what if he’s still at the beginning stage?

“If the truth were revealed… the princes would’ve conspired together to hire assassins to poison you.”

Lucis shuddered, feeling chills run down his spine.

“Lucis is right. It’s still dangerous.”

They needed to be even more careful during an unstable phase.

“Anyway, I can faintly feel the energy of magic stones in that territory. If we amplify it with magic, something might come out.”

His words brought hope.

The imperial family thought they had given them a land they considered to be of little value, but it was actually a very good place. It felt like they had discovered hidden treasure.
