When I woke up, it was already two days later...
During this period, some people were happy while others were sad.
Naturally, the Sixth Prince and Princess Nishinoru were overjoyed, as the royal palace revoked Princess Nishinoru's order to remarry the Seventh Prince.
after all.
They were originally a married couple. The Seventh Prince was just interfering, and Princess Nishino was merely a tool for him to seize the throne.
However, when the Seventh Prince learned of Agatha's tragic death and the Sixth Prince's recovery from "Magic Stone Disease," he was furious. His current state perfectly described his supposedly failed conspiracy.
But things don't always end so simply...
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar monochrome ceiling again, and I didn't see the mosaic-faced "god" again, which meant that I hadn't died.
Staring at the monochrome ceiling, I was lost in thought for a while. I couldn't tell if I was happy or relieved. I didn't know what emotions I was feeling. In any case, I felt that this ending wasn't too bad.
When I turned my head to glance to the side, I saw someone lying on the headboard, it was Lilith Verusena.
"Lilith must have been terribly worried when she found out about my accident..."
She was fast asleep, occasionally snoring. It seemed that Lilith had worried about me a lot while I was unconscious.
but……
"Your sleeping posture is still so unsightly..."
Of all the girls I've ever seen, Lilith's sleeping posture is probably the ugliest, not elegant at all, but not unpleasant.
Feeling that I had regained some strength, I carefully rolled out of bed without waking Lilith.
"Is the wound no longer visible?"
It seems that the palace physicians arrived at the scene immediately after Agatha was defeated. After all, it would be truly bizarre if the guards were not alerted by the use of such a large-scale "heavenly thunder".
The reason I fainted was apparently due to excessive blood loss. Although the palace was full of professional physicians who had spent most of their lives researching healing magic, it was impossible for them to create platelets out of nowhere.
In short, it's great that no wounds were left.
At the moment of cutting open my stomach, I was fortunate to have a backup plan, mainly because the pain was too great. After all, it was no different from committing seppuku.
The pain made me stop in time; otherwise, it would have been impossible to persist until I could use a King-level spell.
As for seppuku... I don't know if others would dare, but... I wouldn't...
I draped the blanket that was hanging to one side over Lilith. At that moment, her furry ears would twitch, making me want to touch them and feel their texture.
However, he suppressed the thought. For orcs, ears and tails seem to be sensitive areas, and it would be very impolite to touch them rashly.
Just to be on the safe side, I folded the blanket in half before draping it over Lilith. Although the temperature in Kylorans has started to rise again, you can still catch a cold if you're not careful.
"Hmm... what should I do next...?"
In order not to wake Lilith, I decided to go out for a stroll. It seems I'm still inside the palace. To be honest, both times I entered the palace, it was in a rush, and I haven't had a chance to properly appreciate the scenery of the Kylorans Palace.
squeak……
After opening the door...
"Lord Leon! You're awake..."
"Shh...!"
I had no idea there were two people standing at the door. The sudden noise startled me, but fearing I would wake Lilith, I quickly signaled them to be quiet.
"Lord Leon...you're awake...are you feeling any better?"
"...Lord Leon?"
Judging from their attire, they should be palace maids. Were they arranged by the Sixth Prince?
but……
For Lord Leon? Such a title…
To be honest, I still prefer people to call me Leon, or kid or something like that.
After carefully closing the door...
"Let's go over there and talk..."
He then gestured for the two to talk a little further away from the room, at least to let Lilith rest properly, and to explain things to her properly after she woke up.
"Lord Leon, now that you are awake, shall I inform His Highness the Sixth Prince?"
Not far from the room was a pavilion. I walked ahead of it, and the one who spoke was the maid who looked to be only about twenty years old. She wasn't particularly pretty, but she wasn't bad-looking either.
"Don't be so formal... just call me Leon!"
In short, I don't really like the term "adult". It sounds strange, and besides, it's not very logical for someone much older than me to call me "adult".
"Uh... His Highness the Sixth Prince specifically instructed that you are the hero who saved him and Princess Nishino, so please allow me to address you this way!"
Although only one of the maids was speaking, the other maid also bowed slightly, performing a royal gesture, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
not to mention……
"A hero?"
I'm no hero; at that moment, I simply didn't want to die...
"I'm not a hero, and you don't need to be so reserved. Get up... It feels weird..."
The two maids exchanged a glance, and then, after some kind of communication, stood up.
"Then...Young Master Leon...should we inform His Highness the Sixth Prince? He very much wishes to see you! You don't need to visit him; he has instructed that he will come to visit you in person!"
"Uh... could you please not use honorifics...?"
Although young master Leon found it somewhat acceptable, however…
"never mind……"
There's no need to argue with the maids over wording; they're just following orders.
"Wait... what did she just say?"
"His Highness the Sixth Prince has come to visit in person... Me...?"
"Is there some mistake? A prince! Visiting a commoner like me in person?"
"No, no, no, I'll go by myself!"
I don't have that much influence to warrant a personal visit from His Highness the Prince.
"Alright then! Please allow me to show you the way."
Considering that Lilith was still resting, I had another maid continue to guard the door, in order to prevent her from waking up and not being able to find me, and from running around the palace in a panic, causing trouble for others.
Although it was just a thought, Lilith's temper actually led her to do such nonsensical things.
After exiting the corridor, I discovered that there were many more rooms with the same layout as before. It seemed that these were rest areas built by the royal palace specifically for visiting nobles or foreign envoys.
It must be said that this place is extremely quiet, with no street noises or commotion. Ordinary people really can't get in here.
This place is not far from the prince's palace. After passing through a garden, you can see several buildings with completely different architectural styles. They are not clustered together, but scattered like stars within the palace.
It seems that it was built this way specifically to prevent unwarranted fighting between princes?
However, for those who are truly interested, it doesn't really mean much. So-called power struggles were unavoidable in that era.
Even brothers, bound by blood, harbor their own ulterior motives at times like these...
After leaving the garden, you will see a tall and magnificent white building in a unique Elizabethan style, which is the palace of Calories.
Even from a distance, it still gives people a solemn and dignified feeling.
In front of the palace stood a huge statue, towering into the clouds, vividly depicting the founder of Kylorans—a hero known as the "Angel God."
"..."
However, looking at this statue, my feelings became complicated, unlike when I first saw it in Terunia, I was instead filled with confusion.
As for the "Seven Great Powers," "Gluttony," "Envy," and "God and Man," he himself did not know what they thought.
All I know is that so far, the "human god" has not harmed me. Although I have been led by the nose by his "mischievous sense of humor," without him, there would be no Leon as we know him today.
In short, next time you encounter a "human god", be sure to ask him clearly.
After all, I still know too little about the "Seven Great Powers".
Further ahead, there is a wide square with a huge fountain in the center, surrounded by a ring of stone pillars.
The central fountain's water jet lands precisely on the stone pillar, filling the space above and then forming several smaller fountains that cascade into the pool below.
"It is indeed a very unique design, worthy of a royal palace."
Completely different from what I had seen in Teruneia and Burynes, this design is even more awe-inspiring. Combined with the statue of the "Angel God" behind it, it is truly magnificent and grand.
The next stop on the route leads to the Sixth Prince's palace. Although Olivia led the way the first two times, I can still remember the general outline.
