Impractical Magic Chapter 55

~~~Angelica~~~

While I was enchanting the magic crystals, I heard someone. It disturbed my concentration, I knew that I told Martha to not let anyone in.

When I stood up to see who it was. I saw knights by the dozens, staring at me. I've never thought that enchanting would make such a commotion in the castle.

Kate apologized for barging in. She told me that it was an emergency so I forgave her. Afterward, she quickly dispersed the crowd to let me change. Kate, saw me in a bad mood so she thought I was upset because people saw me almost bare.

I told her. What I was upset about is being unable to enchant the remaining crystals that I brought over. Those crystals were also quite heavy...

"Hahh..." [Angelica]

"Why did you choose to enchant at this hour?" [Blake]

"Cheers! Here is the solution to our problems, behold! The crystal fan!" [Angelica]

When Blake asked. I immediately brought out a yellow-green magic crystal.

"Hahaha! Crystal fan..." [Maria]

"You lack naming sense, Angelica..." [Blake]

Maria, held her stomach trying to contain her laughter. Blake wasn't laughing, but I could see that he was just holding back. I frowned and used the magic crystal at full strength, it then made a small twister.

"Wah?! We're sorry!" [Maria]

"Stop-stop!" [Blake]

By the time I stopped, all of our hairs were in a mess and so does the room with things scattered about.

"So, this is what it was." [Blake]

"The color is so pretty." [Maria]

I finally managed to get their attention. To be honest I was kind of hurt by what they said...

"This is able to generate winds at that speed for a small amount of time, but If used as a fan. It could stretch up for a whole day without needing to recharge." [Angelica]

"Mind if I test it?" [Maria]

"Heheh, go ahead." [Angelica]

"Uwah... it's breezy~" [Maria]

Maria's eyes shone, as she held the yellow-green magic crystal, upon using it she let out a refreshing voice as a breeze hit her face.

I grabbed another crystal from my pocket and used it on Blake.

"This is a great invention, I take back what I said." [Blake]

His remark made me smile, I felt very happy that they both liked it.

"You look cute when you smile like that." [Blake]

"I-I'm not cute!" [Angelica]

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

"Blake's right Angelica, you should smile more." [Maria]

"Am I, not genuinely happy most of the time!!" I said in retort.

"Hahahahh!" [Blake/Maria]

"Muh..." [Angelica]

That night we all slept soundly, in which each of us have our own crystal fan. Hmm... maybe I should change the name...

~~~???~~~

The sound of a metal cup reverberated when it hit the floor, its contents stained the expensive rug.

"You what?!" [Walter]

"She was against it my liege." [Oscar]

"Did you try to sway her?" [Walter]

"Yes, but it still didn't work out..." [Oscar]

"Shit... Did father offer her something greater, that would make her turn down even my offer?" [Walter]

"There is one little thing..." [Oscar]

"Enlighten me." [Walter]

"While I was conversing with the both of them, when the King got angry she held his hand to calm him." [Oscar]

"Are you saying that they are intimate with one another?" [Walter]

"I do not know, but she does seem to care deeply for the King or it seems like she is trying to get close to him." [Oscar]

"That damn whore, she thinks that she could use my father as leverage. I want her killed! Describe what she looks like!" [Walter]

"Around 15-18 years old. Long blonde hair, golden eyes and a-" [Oscar]

"Hold on... blonde hair?" [Walter]

"Yes, she also has a necklace that looks somewhat expensive." [Oscar]

"What does she look like? Can you draw her?" [Walter]

"Here my liege." [Oscar]

After some time. Oscar passes a somewhat well-drawn picture to Walter.

"... Can it be? No... it's impossible..." [Walter]

"Shall I order the assassin's?" [Oscar]

"No... tail them for now and report what you find. You've done a good job, Oscar." [Walter]

"Thank you my liege! I am very honored to hear that." [Oscar]

Oscar then left. Walter, looks at the picture again and focuses on the necklace the girl was wearing.

"Why now... sister... did you finally choose to take hold of the throne?" [Walter]

~~~Angelica~~~

The day of our journey. We've spent a whole day gathering what we need for our travel to Libang.

The three of us are accompanied by Kate and Regina.

While Jose will be returning to Cagban to attend to his shop. He will be escorted by Howard and his other knights.

"Wouldn't the castle's defenses be reduced, if you were to escort us?" [Angelica]

"Sister, shouldn't you be staying there at the castle because you have duties?" [Regina]

"It's fine~ those guys can handle it by themselves. Also, why the heck are you coming? Didn't royal guards have their own duties too?" [Kate]

"I only want to see the person that made you the godmother of this child." [Regina]

"You should refer to "That." person with respect." [Kate]

"And why should I?" [Regina]

"If the King heard you say that, even I wouldn't be able to save you from execution." [Kate]

I saw cold sweat run down on Regina's face.

"You still don't get it? She is the first princess's daughter. You do know that I simply wouldn't agree to just be anyone's godmother." [Kate]

Regina's mouth was agape as she stared at me. Then she pointed a finger at me and Kate back and forth.

"Please, don't stare..." [Angelica]

"Ahh... sorry." [Regina]

"Hard to believe isn't it?" [Kate]

"B-but how did you know it was her?!" [Regina]

"I helped Terrace and Elaine elope of course." [Kate]

Kate smirked and put her hands on her waist, as she arrogantly claimed.

"You know... if the King heard you. I think he will more likely execute you than me." [Regina]

"Regina's got a point there godmother." [Angelica]

Kate broke her stance, oh she is gonna cry... these sisters, have such a funny exchange.

"Let's go! Times are wasting!" [Blake]

We got to the courtyard and our dragons are there on standby, they seem to be conversing with one another again.

"Don't try anything funny now." [Maria]

Maria, leaned over as she pulled the reigns of her dragon near her head and glared at the other two. I felt a chill up my spine, is this killing intent?!

Wait... is that a small wand she's also holding near her face? I hope she doesn't use avada kedavra {1} while we're flying.

The dragons seem to feel it too. In an instant, all of them made a column formation, like good soldiers in front of their superiors.

"Good." [Maria]

Maria's so badass. I wanna be in her harem lol.

"Is something the matter Angelica?" [Maria]

"Uh... nothing..." [Angelica]

And then we're off. Our journey will take about five days to reach Libang, because we have the hurricane dragons as our mount, so traveling is faster than normal.

Every time at dusk, we camp out for the night. Oftentimes we share stories with Kate and Regina, likewise, they also told us about their duties in the castle.

After some time, we have finally reached our small village of Libang.
