It's My Destiny To Be The Hero's Savior

5

Ariadne wiped the corner of her eyes, which were blurred with tears.

'I have to run away from the Duke first'.

It was impossible to run away on my own.

She was only 7 years old. She was too young and helpless to escape the Duke's clutches alone.

Ariadne turned to the books that were spread out here and there.

'Maybe there's a clue in this'.

The original "Ariadne Eldieo" died before the novel began, but "Glamus", an item created using her, continues to appear in the novel.

Since it was an important tool that allowed the protagonist to use spirit magic, descriptions related to "Ariadne Eldieo" often appeared, even if it was a brief mention.

'I need a guardian. Someone to protect me until I grow up'.

After searching for a while, she found some useful information.

'The Archmage, Solan Garcia'.

A man who is not influenced by the power of the Duke of Eldieo and who, by blood, is her maternal grandfather.

'Only once in the original did the Archmage meet me'.

He belatedly hears of Gloria's death and comes to Eldieo. And for the first time, he sees his granddaughter's face.

A granddaughter who bears no resemblance to his deceased daughter.

As soon as the Archmage sees Ariadne, he becomes displeased and goes back and never looks for her again.

'I must seize this opportunity'.

Even a maternal grandfather who doesn't want to see her, let alone consider her as a granddaughter, is at least better than Duke Franz Eldieo.

'Besides, I have many things to trade for a deal with the Archmage'.

There was a lot of useful information, but the most useful was the elixir.

If you're an Archmage, no, if you are a person in this world, it's something that you can't help but be interested in.

This world was slowly dying due to contamination from the Demon Realm.

In this situation, elixir, a potion that treats contamination, was irreplaceably important.

When the development of the elixir is completed, the Duke of Eldieo becomes an untouchable tycoon.

However, without Ariadne, a special experiment, the Duke cannot complete the elixir.

'The recipe is all in the novel, so as long as I have the ingredients, I can make an elixir. The Duke cannot make it without me'.

The ingredients for the elixir were things that an Archmage could obtain.

'I can make a deal with the Archmage on the condition that I make him an elixir'.

To do so, she had to first set up a place to talk with the Archmage alone.

That would be difficult, but convincing the Archmage would be even more difficult.

Whatever you say will sound like childish bullshit.

'There's no way the Archmage will save me right away. Let's first aim to draw attention somehow'.

It was more of a gamble. Still, there was a way to live.

'First, I'll draw attention by revealing that I don't like the Duke......then when we're alone, I'll show him how to cure contamination with an elixir stolen from the study room......'
