Recently, Cosette has been wearing a somber look on her face.
She seems to be pondering while looking in the direction of the east.
Is it the direction of where her hometown used to be?
At magic school, we learned not only the history of the kingdom, but also the history of the empire.
The empire expanded its territory with its mighty military power.
Various countries once existed in the vicinity of the empire.
A nation of blacksmiths who created exquisite armors with advanced technology.
A nation of knowledge with world-class academic institutions.
A country of art that produced beautiful paintings, sculptures, and magnificent music.
One of them.
The magical nation of Arcaea.
In the past, Arcaea built its prosperity on advanced magic and became famous throughout the world as a center of culture and technology.
Arcaea did not hide its wisdom, but spread it to other countries.
They believed that the knowledge they spread would bring prosperity to the world.
No one doubted that Arcaea's prosperity and peace would last forever.
However, a country came to threaten that peace.
It was the Empire of Prüfaut.
At the time, the empire was using its overwhelming military power to annex other countries.
Of course, there were moves to invade Arcaea as well.
But it was impossible at that time.
Even the empire with the world's largest country and population had no chance of winning a war with Arcaea, which was a small country in every respect except for its magic.
This was because they could not defeat the wizards of Arcaea.
Arcaea did not have an ideology of aggression, but used its power for the prosperity of the world and for its own self-defense.
The magicians who protect Arcaea are the ones who boast of their advanced technology and knowledge.
Thanks to them, Arcaea has maintained peace for a long time.
The soldiers of the empire were well trained and numerous, but they were like children before the wizards of Arcaea.
However, the empire had not given up.
It waited for the right moment to establish an ostensibly friendly relationship with Arcaea, which was spreading its knowledge to other countries.
While absorbing Arcaea's magical technology and knowledge, the empire further expanded its territory by annexing other countries.
Arcaea realized the imperial plot and broke off diplomatic relations, but it was already too late.
Arcaea's allies had already been defeated by the empire.
Nevertheless, Arcaea resisted with a lone force.
The war was close.
The Empire originally had well-trained soldiers, and their numbers were different.
Arcaea's magical skills and knowledge were added to the mix.
The Empire thought they would win the battle, but it did not go as expected.
The wizards of Arcaea were that tough.
The difference in numbers and the absorption of Arcaean magical technology.
The empire did not doubt its own superiority, but the depths of Arcaean magic were deep.
The technology they thought they had absorbed was only superficial and flimsy.
The empire could not break Arcaea's defenses.
The war was expected to be prolonged, but it was not to be.
The empire had won a victory over Arcaea with the power of a forbidden spell that it had been studying on its own.
It is an impermissible power, but the surrounding countries have already fallen into the hands of the empire.
They cannot raise a voice of condemnation.
The Kingdom of Athrun denounced the actions of the empire, but the Empire of Prudhoeur, which had become the largest nation in the world, did not listen to its voice.
Tension continued between the kingdom and the empire for a long time, but things changed when Brunnhilde Senpai defeated one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army.
An alliance meeting was held, and we were to come to the Empire as the first step in that effort.
To be honest, I really don't want to join hands with the Empire people after talking to them, but it is also true that there are good people in this country.
Cosette, the manager of Noel's and the female clerk.
I don't like the empire that has the idea of bloodlineism, an idea that is beyond its own control, but I guess not all the people are like that.
When all is said and done, I would like to walk through the empire and get to know the country.
But back to the story, as I learned in the history of the empire, Arcaea was annexed by the empire and its magical technology and knowledge were taken away by the empire.
That much I know, but I didn't know that the King of Arcaea had a child.
The fairy tale that Cosette told me earlier must have been about Cosette herself.
She must have told me the story under the pretense of a fairy tale in order to keep me from realizing that she was talking about herself.
After hearing what she said earlier, several questions arose in my mind.
First of all, why is Cosette, who was supposed to have been abandoned, living in the poor district of the empire?
If Cosette was there when Arcaea Castle fell, it is possible that she was taken prisoner.
But she was not there.
It is because King Arcaea sealed her magic power and threw her away somewhere.
How did she come to the empire and live in the favelas?
And her younger siblings and sisters.
I wonder if they know that Cosette is her blood sister.
I am also curious about the fact that she attends the Prudhoeur School.
Except for Cosette, only nobles attend that school.
I wonder how she came to attend the school.
And I wonder if she doesn't hold a grudge against the empire and the imperial people.
They invaded his homeland and forced him to leave it.
If that had not happened, she might be living happily in the royal castle now.
Valère and his friends are not persecuting Cosette-san as an Arcadian, but as an Imperial person.
Whether as an Archeian or as an Imperial, I can't forgive them, but ...... no, I'm not going to give my opinion now, ...... though it makes me angry.
And my last question is, she should have been abandoned as a baby.
How could it be that she knows that she herself is of Arcaean royal blood?
It is impossible for her to know.
