Chapter 21.2 - Dark Mysterious Organization(2)
Translator: Lady Black
If Marianne and Haruto married, it would be an enormous obstacle to Lyas’s succession to the throne.
“I don’t care…”
However, his priorities weren’t there right now.
“Did you say something?”
“Nothing. Let’s get back to it. You’re having a hard time right now, aren’t you? Strange people were lurking around the school.”
“…Did you know? It was about two years ago a believer of a strange religious organization enrolled and expanding power amongst other children.
“I did. I believe it was called Lushifa?”
It was originally a small religious organization. However, in recent years, it seemed to gain a large source of funding and a rapidly increasing number of followers.
For some reason, their public’s perception was extremely low but there were a lot of cases where nobles entered the center of business and politics.
The Kingdom already has Mija as it’s the national religion. Lushifa was a new religion disguised as a sect. There were theories in the palace that it was actually a devil-worshiping religion.
“The ideas were identical. Even nobles that we’re afraid to say that ‘The world should only be owned by God’ declared to overthrow the monarchy. It’s not worth the trouble for our royal family.”
The problem might be complicated. No, it might even be simple.
After all, the biggest provider of the funding for Lushifa was—
“What is it that our mother was thinking?”
There was a constant rumor that it was Queen Giselotte.

“You want Haruto to do something about them?”
“It’s a shallow idea but I’m expecting it. Of course, I don’t want to force him to do it. But I don’t want powerful opponents to compete in status within the students.”
However, Marianne looked down.
“I would rather not get caught up in such political and religious problems. At the very least, let the students work hard on their magic.”
“No matter how outrageous he might be, there’s a limit to what a person could do on his own. It would be expected that he won’t be as good as a mother. But…”
Lyas recalled his memories.
“No, I heard there’s a weird guy in the territory of Lord Zenphis.”
“You mean the Black Warrior that we heard when we visited last time?”
“Once in a while I got some information about it but somehow recently I heard he killed a giant dragon.”
“Really? Then, he’s such a powerful person.”
“Do you think he had some connection with Haruto? He seemed to be an ally of justice. If we asked him, he’ll probably do us some favor.”
“It’s a little bit hard to ask a person we don’t know anything about.”
The two discussed with each other as they weren’t aware.
Another presence came in without knocking.
“Sounds like you’re talking deep stuff.”
“Ah, Mother?!”
It was Queen Giselotte.
Lyas’s momentum made the chair kicked off the ground as he stood up.
“Oh, mother, I haven’t heard of you.”
“Yes. It’s been a long time, Marianne. You become more beautiful every time I see you.”
“Ah, thank you–?!”
She was about to lower her head when she suddenly got ahold of her neck.
“Uwah, ni–!”
“Where have you been?”
The fingers dug on her throat.
“Did you see my collar? Is that funny? Miserable? Pitiful? I wonder, were you one of those people who laugh at me?!”
“Gu—”
“Mother! Please stop!”
At Lyas’s cry, Giselotte shut him a freezing glance.
“Hmmm, kidding. It’s a joke. But to careless gaze would disqualify a lady. Be careful, Marianne.”
When she released her hand, Marianne fell from her waist to the ground. Lya rushed towards her quickly.
Giselotte didn’t give her a glance and walked to Lyas.
“The son of Lord Zenphis would go to the same school as you do.”
“Why do…”
“I just heard you two talking about it. Hmm, didn’t you notice me? I just heard it.”
In other words, the rest of the conversation was heard. Together with their doubt in Lushifa’s connection with their mother.
Lyas cannot move his feet like it was frozen in place.
“You must’ve felt sorry to him that was stuck in the countryside. Lyas made friends with him.”
“Hai…”
Giselotte still approached and touched Lyas’s ears with her lips whispering.
“Draw out every information you could get about the Black Warrior from that brat. You hear me?”
“What?”
“Don’t tell to anyone? Not even to Marianne or the King. That information should only be told to me. You got it?”
Giselotte left without care about his answer grabbing Marianne’s hair that was crouching and holding her head.
“Now, Marianne. I’ll take you out of the palace. Keep away from here.”
She forcefully raised her causing some of her hair to come loose.
Marianne breathes beneath the queen’s dark eyes. She was afraid of getting killed, that was given but she could only wonder why.
“Ha! Soon, It’ll be over. The day is near. This damn collar would finally come off.”
She dragged Marianne away and Queen left the room.
Laughter echoed the hallway.
It was a strange laugh, almost resembling a scream.
–God, Lushifa! Listened to my wish!
***
Lyas lost the strength on his legs and collapsed to a fall.
Trembling, he did something that was irreversible. He got involve in something that only the winner set as he would be the only one to be able to cross.
“Sorry, I’m sorry…”
He was terribly miserable, holding to his knees and repeatedly apologized to no one would be able to hear.

On the other hand, Haruto was…
“It’s done! I’ll call this the ‘Door to Everywhere’”
He worked on the development of new magics.
The door was built next to the window. The moment it was opened he won’t be outside but in another place, his dwelling house.
“This is the ‘transposition device’ that would allow one to connect two points or places in-between time and space. Unlike that Door to Everywhere, he could only connect two points, with this device, I could connect each point without setting a barrier. Now, I’m going to my room in the house in five seconds—”
Behind him, was his ever so excited and shouted younger sister that come before him, her eyes were sparkling–
