A magical tool that injects magical power to properly regulate the indoor temperature.

A lighting magic tool that decorates the dark night with various lights instead of a light bulb.

There are magical tools that reduce the weight of heavy loads to a fraction of a percent, and even magical tools that create ice in the middle of summer.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg.

What is truly important is the technique to maximize the defensive power and durability of combat equipment, and if it is a weapon, to maximize its attack power.

From convenience tools to combat gear.

It is safe to say that there is almost no magical tool in this country that has not been touched by the Floyd family.

‘That’s the power of the family he belongs to…’

Even though the high-ranking woman in front of you is the queen of this country, she is not someone you can kill or keep alive as you please.

That’s me, Adrian Floyd.

‘Now, my beautiful queen. How will you come out now? Are you going to let me go like this?’

I just waited in silence.

The queen’s face, which had been blushing, slowly changed into one of resignation.

“Hey you…”

But her reaction was a little different from what I expected.

“Did you think that if you said something like that, I would send you away?”

“Would you please do that?”

“Shut up! Who do you dare to… ”

The queen was gnashing her teeth as if she was going to eat him at any moment.

Suddenly, he leaned back against the back of the chair, crossed his legs to the opposite side, and spoke to me.

“You dare to talk about family in front of me. You are even more arrogant than I thought.”

In an instant, the anger disappeared from the queen’s expression.

“…I never thought that would come out of your mouth, a bastard who doesn’t even have Count Floyd’s bloodline. I expected it, but you really have no shame. ”

The queen began to laugh out loud.

‘Oh right, this kid was really sensitive about his bloodline, wasn’t he?’

I barely managed to come to my senses at the sound of an unpleasant laugh.

Yeah, it would certainly look quite funny if an illegitimate child were to talk about family.

Even if you are a queen who stands at the top of the nobles.

“Okay. Since you’re talking about family, I’ll do whatever you want.”

“Yes? Are you saying that you will make what I saw yesterday seem like it never happened?”

“That’s right.”

what.

I was really scared because I thought I misspoke after being laughed at for so long, but was he just being sarcastic because of his pride?

Adrian seems to hate talking about bloodlines, but I don’t at all.

of course.

Because it’s not my family, nor my parents.

Now that I am the one involved, what if I write to you?

As long as you make a lot of money, eat well, live well, and grow well, that’s enough.

Still, I was glad that things worked out well.

I tried my best to act as if my pride was hurt without showing it.

At that time, I was about to say, ‘Can I go back now?’

“Let’s pretend yesterday never happened. But there’s a condition.”

“…!?”

“What’s with that expression? Did you really think he’d let that get away with doing that to princesses?”

“No….

okay.

No matter what, if you ate a beautiful princess, you should at least receive the minimum punishment.

At least I survived, so where am I going?

Somehow things seemed to be going smoothly.

Well then, that’s right.

“Please speak…”

I will gladly accept any punishment.

That’s usually what I would say in this situation, but I never thought the words would come out of my mouth.

It was all Adrian’s doing in the first place.

I only got a little taste of the fruit at the end.

But you want me to pay the price all by myself?

I absolutely hate it.

“You seem very proud of your family.”

Not at all.

“If the family you are so proud of. Your father, Count Floyd, comes to me in person and apologizes sincerely, I will do as you wish and pretend that nothing happened with the princess.”

“Yes?”

“What is it?”

Suddenly summoning parents?

This is a bit tricky.

He’s not even my son, and it’s not a good thing, so I wouldn’t like being summoned for something like this.

Besides, I don’t know anything about Adrian’s father.

‘I want to avoid my family as much as possible right now…’

If you are a family member, you probably know Adrian’s traits and habits much better than others.

That is, if I act differently than usual, it is natural that people will suspect that I am not the real Adrian.

So I want to avoid it.

‘I think it would be better to meet after at least some of your memories have returned…’

At least you should know the tendency.

Patriarchal and violent.

Or maybe you are affectionate.

‘It seems he is an illegitimate child…’

Even if the father is normal, there is a chance that other family members may be exceptions.

‘At least I want to avoid the situation of competing for the successor position…’

So, absolutely not.

The Queen’s demands are absolutely unacceptable.

“That’s difficult.”

“Haha, I knew it would turn out like that. But I can’t give in on this part either!”

“My father is a man of few words. It would be no good to tell him this…”

“Even if you are the adopted son, the honor of the Floyd family is at stake. Would the Count move his tongue so easily?”

“That’s…”

Oh, no!

At least for now, the Queen knows more about Adrian’s father than I do.

“Enough. This story is over. You don’t think you have the right to negotiate with me after doing such things to princesses in the palace, do you?”

“Tea, you’d better ask for something else…”

Things are going strangely wrong.

“Forgetting your duty as a court tutor and teasing the princesses. You deserve to die, but as you say, it would be bad if this were to become known. I will share the rest of the story with the count, so you may step aside. ”

The queen gestures to the knights.

A signal to let me out.

But I didn’t want it to end like this.

‘In the end, do we have no choice but to open Pandora’s box?’

So it should have gone well.

Oh, poor Queen Emilia.

“If you send me away like this, I will have no choice but to spread rumors.”

“…!?”

“Summoning Count Floyd for this is one of the endings I would most like to avoid. Please give me a different punishment instead.”

“Wait! What you said before… You’re going to spread rumors? Are you going to tell the whole world what you did? If that story gets to his ears, it’ll be dangerous for you and the entire Floyd family?”

“There are not only rumors about that.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I heard you’ve been very lonely lately.”

“……”

The queen is currently being completely ignored by her husband, the king of this country.

‘So there are things I can’t tell the princesses about.’

If the affairs of the princesses, who are the queen’s bloodline, become known to the king, the queen’s position in the palace will fall miserably.

Now that the concubine and her children are moving to take the throne, what is most important to her is creating her own people.

It is highly likely that this incident was related to the attempt to summon Adrian’s father, the Count, under the pretext of this incident.

A family that has always maintained political neutrality.

A family that holds technology that is more influential than any other family.

Because that’s the Floyd family.

‘If only these fragments of memory hadn’t come back to me yesterday…’

I almost got into trouble.

‘Should I thank Purua for this too?’

Anyway, I opened Pandora’s box.

A story that even a proud queen would want to keep hidden, enough to make her tremble in anger.

He openly scratched the part that everyone else was pretending not to know even though they knew about it and kept quiet.

“How could you do that…”

Sorry, I’ll sell it to you one more time, Purua.

“I didn’t ask any questions, but the princess started talking fluently.”

“……”

“I will personally hear the story you wanted to share with my father. I fully understand what you think of me now, but I am neither young nor weak enough to rely on my family or parents for strength.”

“…You can take the place of the Floyd family?”

“It’s hard now, but it will be okay soon.”

If I could make all of Adrian’s skills mine.

At that time, family name will have no meaning.

Because the skill to enchant living things, rather than objects, belongs only to Adrian Floyd.

“Sigh…”

The queen’s gaze wavers.

He must be having a headache right now because he was trying to exploit Count Floyd’s weakness using this incident as an excuse.

It’s only natural that you don’t trust me, who claims to be your substitute.

“I should have just killed him… You should have been more careful…”

What are you muttering, you scary woman?

I can hear everything!

“Mama.”

A good idea occurred to me.

We decided to take this opportunity to secure a good sponsor.

“…What is it?”

The queen’s expression shows how confused she is because things aren’t going as planned.

“Would you like to be my sponsor?”

That style is definitely not suited to politics.

But rather, because of that, from my perspective, he is an extremely easy opponent to exploit.

“I’ll tell you one of my secrets now. And one more thing. Would you please summon Princess Purua here right now?”

Changed plans.

The person who wanted to kill me the most until just a moment ago.

I need to get that person on my side right now.

‘It’s risky to reveal your abilities, but…’

I think that woman would be okay.

He may not seem wise, but at least he doesn’t seem like he would betray.

And above all, she is one of the most powerful people in the world, even if she is only a shell, sitting in the position of queen.

If someone like that were watching over me, it would be a great help to my personal safety, as I could be assassinated at any moment.

“I earnestly request you. Trust me just this once and summon Princess Purua to this place.”
