That morning, Cordelia woke up earlier than usual. But it was already too late to go back to sleep, so she decided to read a book until breakfast and went to the library.
Even if it was early for Cordelia, if she looked down at the garden from the corridor, she could see that there were servants already at work. The servant holding the flowers were probably going to decorate the vases in the mansion. She watched them and was looking forward to seeing how they would decorate the vases.
Cordelia, who reached her destination while occasionally greeting the servants she passed on the way, noticed that the library was already lit.
She thought it was strange as she entered the library and saw that Ronnie was surrounded by books.
Morning, Ronnie. Youre really early.
Eh, huh? Ojou-sama? Its time for good morning? Dont tell me its already morning?
Yes. Its still a bit early for breakfast, but its a pleasant morning.
However, when Ronnie heard those words, he looked troubled and appeared clearly regretful.
Did you accidentally stay up all night?
Yes I was careless. I didnt feel drowsy, but now that I know its morning, I suddenly feel sleepy.
Cordelia smiled wryly at Ronnie, who yawned as soon as hed said that, and looked at the book he was reading. It was a book about magic combat, but it wasnt written in the language of Crista Kingdom.
This is rare.
Ronnie reads books of any genre, but Cordelia had never seen him read foreign magic combat books. In the first place, he didnt like combat that much that he would stay all night reading about it.
Well, I dont hate reading but, I heard a rumour that bothered me, so I thought I would review.
Rumour?
I dont think its true, but in the north I heard at the bar that there have been strange movements in Dulaus Kingdom recently.
Cordelia blinked. That certainly is a rumour that would worry people.
Dulaus Kingdom had a cease-fire agreement with Crista Kingdom, but it was difficult to say that it was a friendly kingdom. Since its founding, Crista Kingdom has been invaded by Dulaus Kingdom many times, and a lot of people have negative feelings towards the King Dulaus. And, Crista Kingdom was being resented in return, as Dulaus Kingdom probably had a less than favourable opinion towards a kingdom who made them turn their heels many times in the past.
However, for Cordelia, she was cautious towards that kingdom because it was the stronghold of the Dark Guild member 『Ghost』.
Strange movements? How reliable is that rumour?
Cordelia had never set foot in a bar before, so she couldnt determine how useful the information was. However, if there were really such strange movements, then the Kingdoms army would have sensed it, and Cordelia would have noticed something, even if she didnt go to a bar. Then, Elvis and her two brothers holidays would be affected, and they wouldnt come home much, but that wasnt the case right now. More importantly, Ronnie, who had heard the rumour, didnt seem serious, and he didnt seem panicked.
Of course, its not like theyre going to attack straight away. However, I heard that there is movement from the anti-royal faction in that kingdom, and I remembered that the norths magic is different from the mainstream magic of this kingdom, which I learnt at the Magic Academy.
In other words, you remembered that because of the rumours and got curious, so you read up on it?
Yes. Even if theres magic I dont understand somewhere, I think I can manage somehow if I understand the foundation. Well, it would be better if I dont encounter it though.
