With the arrival of the spring scented wind, a judge from the royal capital finally arrives to see me.
The messenger in military uniform with heavy looking medals on his chest told me that the place to meet the judge was the principal’s office of the Magic Academy.
I ran to my parent’s house, exchanged a glass of water with my father in tears, called up Chicken, and handed her a letter with instructions titled, “Read if I don’t come back.”.
After a quick visit to others, I returned to the mansion and went to see my twins who were napping in a hammock set up in the yard.
The warm breeze tickled their noses and put them in a good mood as they slept. I burned this scene to my heart one last time.
After that, I ate a bowl of wheat porridge, cleaned up myself, went to bed, and welcomed the morning without a moment’s pause.
I thought I had already prepared myself this winter…..however, I guess it won’t be that easy.
-0-
After getting ready, I was accompanied by brother-in-law, who was dressed in a tight formal outfit. Both him and my wife are to report with me.
I did not see the twins this morning.
If I see their faces even for a moment, my consciousness might leave for the next world instinctively.
Why I was reborn in this world is still a mystery to me but as expected, I’m not planning to go through it a third time.
I heard that it’s good after bad and bad after good.
If I reincarnated as a bug with my memories intact, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do it.
I walked to the corridor of the magic academy with trembling legs, seeing the lined up guards with dazzling general rank insignia. Laura-san is taking care of me who’s acting like an old man.
It seems as if the corridor, which was only around 10 meters long, is going on forever. I arrived at the principal’s office while using healing magic over and over again to repair my stomach that’s being continuously damaged by juices.
In the middle of the office, there is a one hell of a big shot waiting for us.
「You are that bastard Sawadi?」
The moment I saw the attire of the person sitting on the principal’s chair in the middle of the room, I kneeled down without hesitation.
Black, gold, and vermilion. Colors exclusive to the royal family.
Men with high rank medals are surrounding him like sardines.
Yeah, what awaits me is a member of the royal family.
「I am Ixio, former army marshal. I allow you to introduce yourself.」
「Yes! I am Torquiva Magic Academy’s Magic Construct Department’s associate professor, Sawadi Slayra!」
「I am his wife, Torquiva Magic Academy’s Magic Construct Department’s visiting professor, Laura Slayra.」
「I see. This one is the second prince of Kraunia, His Royal Highness Jesta……however, don’t look up at him, not even for a moment.」
「Ye-yes〜!」
The royalty never spoke a word.
Of course, to a noble, a first generation mage is as good as a lower.
You don’t talk to them.
I kneeled down and didn’t look up just like I was taught in school.
This way, until I’m allowed to look up and see his face, I must act as if he’s not there.
A noble will not meet with a lower.
Therefore, if they say that they will not show their faces, it means that this is a private matter that cannot be divulged to others.
「Your invention, the magic crystal generator, is now a property of Marquis Soropas of Kraunia University, do you have any objection?」
「None〜!」
「Good. The fact that you have taken the liberty of advancing a treasonous invention is outrageous……however, since you dedicated your private research results to the kingdom and to the royal family, it can be concluded that your character itself is not despicable.」
「………」
「And taking this into consideration, what to do with you has been decided…..」
「Yes!」
Argh, my stomach is starting to hurt again.
No, I’ve been prepared for death penalty but that shouldn’t be the punishment!
Professor Marino said, “Even if you committed a crime, the worst punishment you’ll receive is deprivation of your status after the completion of the super behemoth beast type magic construct.”.
However, that’s considering no member of the royal family would come!
Please…….!
I beg you!
「Sawadi Slayra, you are hereby sentenced to stay in Torquiva for the rest of your life.」
「……yes〜!!」
Sweat broke out all over my body.
I was shat myself in relief but I clenched my teeth and held on.
If I do that, I’ll be executed on the spot.
「Be thankful, your brother in law has been very helpful.」
「Yes!」
「And I’m told that some very enthusiastic veterans eagerly helped you out.」
「Ye-yes〜!」
I guess if you are a career minded person, staying in Torquiva is a punishment. However, for me, that’s my original plan. I plan to live in this city until I die.
In a way, I’m lucky because it means I won’t have to go to the royal capital in the future.
My stomach was physically in knots from all the tension but from here, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
