Heavenly Magician
Chapter 77: New Problems Start Coming

Two months after the meeting of the WPL members. Exams to recruit Spartan Army members have begun in some Karajaan members.

Before hiring, usually the King will contact me to ask for advice on the criteria and entrance exam.

I also usually only ask for knights who smoothly drive Frame Rescue and are ready to sacrifice for the residents. If for the exam, will be sent a new simulation tool specifically for the exam. With increasing difficulty and increasing enemies as well, it would make the knights more able to feel the real battle.

Once the test started, the monsters would attack from all directions. Every time they managed to kill a monster, they would earn points according to the type of monster they killed.

And when the exam is over, points will be summed up and adjusted to a set average. If the points exceed the average, they will qualify for the second stage, namely mental interviews and their readiness in dealing with their enemies.

They will be interviewed about their readiness when faced with monsters. Their answers will also be judged, whether they lie or not for the answers they give.

After both tests are completed, they will officially be appointed as members of the Spartan Army.

Indeed that was what the other Kingdoms did, but not for Glory. While the other Kingdoms were busy with their tests, we were instead confronted by an emissary who had suddenly come to Glory.

"I'm sorry for the sudden arrival of His Majesty's servant."

"It's okay."

All of them were currently gathered in the audience room, there was Kazuo also standing beside me along with the two envoys kneeling before me.

"If you may know what business this is about?" Kazuo opened the conversation first.

"Before that, we had news that His Majesty would announce His Majesty's engagement to the world. Congratulations on that."

How does he know, I have not even told my people about it, yes even though my people should already know, but I have not even officially announced it.

"Yes. Thanks for the words."

"Could you just say what you mean by your arrival, sir?" With an expression that started to get angry, Kazuo reaffirmed his words.

But the two people remained calm without trembling in the slightest.

"The purpose of our arrival here is to deliver a message from the Kingdom of Felsen."

"What's the message?" Ask Kazuo.

The person behind him started to open the message paper he had in his hand the entire time. Carefully yet loudly, he began to read it.

"Greetings to His Majesty King Glory. Sorry for the sudden arrival of my messenger. The point of my emissary's arrival was to deliver a message from me informing His Majesty that one of His Majesty's potential fiancees, Kokonoe Rin was my lost nephew. Since His Majesty chose him as a potential fiancee, I look forward to our cooperation in the future. King of Felsen, Filur Kert Felsen."

"That's how he wrote his message." Close it.

What does. Rin is a member of the Kingdom of Felsen.

"What does he mean, Felsen's emissary?" Kazuo immediately asked her like he felt something strange here.

"As it is written here that one of His Majesty's fiancees is a member of the Felsen Royal family." Said the envoy while letting out his smile.

It's suspicious.

"Do you have any evidence that Rin is a member of the Felsen royal family?" I asked the messenger.

"Hamba has proof, Your Majesty. The necklace she wore was a necklace her father had inherited before her father died."

Necklaces. Did Rin wear a necklace, I've never even seen her at all.

"What does King Felsen want to say to me?"

"His Majesty Filur only wants to open cooperation between the Kingdoms, according to what is written in the message."

Looks like something's wrong here. I have to find the truth.

"Hm. All right, please come back here again tomorrow, there's a letter I'd like to ask you to hand over to King Felsen."

"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow. Then, I'll excuse you first."

The two envoys then lowered their heads before me and disappeared behind the door.

I then looked at Kazuo who was still standing while thinking beside me.

"Something seems suspicious, Kazuo?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. If indeed Her Majesty Queen Rin is a member of the Felsen Royal family, why did they just tell her now."

"Hm. There is something they are hiding from us. Kazuo! call Rin, Commander and Kazumi to my room!"

"Your Majesty."

"What's calling me, Shin?"

The door of my study opened and showed the girls dressed in royal clothes. I would love to praise them, but there is something else to take care of.

"Sit down first."

In response to my words, the eight of them sat right in front of me. Kazuo, Lain, Norn, Nikola and Kazumi were standing behind me on standby.

"Is there something going on, Shin?" Ask Miku while looking at the person behind Shin.

Without responding to Miku's question, I immediately looked at Rin.

"Rin. Is there something I want to ask you?"

"What-what's that?"

"Do you have a necklace?"

"Ka-necklace. Y-yeah, I have it."

"Can I see it?"

"Y-yes."

Rin then took off the necklace she was wearing and handed it to me.

The chain is normal, but the locket is like a magic wand without me knowing it turns out to have mana in it

"I still don't know what necklace it was, my grandmother gave it to me before I went on an adventure."

I then looked at Kazumi who was also staring at the necklace. Noticing something from the necklace, Kazumi nodded.

The necklace matched what Kazumi had investigated.

Getting the truth from Kazumi, I looked back at Rin and the girls who were still in confusion.

"Rin. Where do you live?'

"Huh!? I-I live in a small village in Halman Kingdom, that village is directly adjacent to the Kingdom of Colder."

"Hm."

"What's up Shin. Why are you asking that?" Ask Rin.

"So there was an emissary of the Kingdom of Felsen who came here, he said that you are a member of the Felsen Royal family who is missing."

"What!?" The voices of the girls who were famous for their kindness shook the room.

"W-how did that happen?" Ask Kyou loudly.

Kyou, Ryou has known Rin from the moment they decided to go on an adventure together.

So it's no wonder that Kyou is currently being so shocked by this news.

"Silence brother?"

"Yes. Calm down Kyou. I didn't believe it at first either, but after seeing the necklace Rin was wearing, now I'm hesitating."

Kyou who was initially looking angry now calmed down, she sat back down gently and looked at the necklace Rin was still holding. For only a few seconds he was able to maintain his composure before the red storm managed to hit his face and ears.

I just pretended not to see it and went back to talking.

"It's suspicious."

"Wait Shin. I'd like to ask. Did you just say that Rin is a member of the Felsen Royal family." Miku who still could not accept it chose to ask.

"Yes. That's what they say."

"Does that mean Rin was a noble?"

"That's possible. But something's suspicious."

I then looked at Kazumi.

"Can you tell us about the King of the Kingdom of Felsen?"

"good. According to the reports of the members assigned there. The King of the Kingdom of Felsen is a man who is mad with power, he will do all kinds of ways to gain power."

"Power yes. Is he as stupid as anyone else fighting over Frame Rescue." My word.

"Maybe His Majesty. The previous king also suddenly died sixteen years ago, since then he who is his brother who replaced his brother as King."

"With his power, a lot of evil happened. He also remodeled the structure of the Kingdom, replacing the various positions originally filled by the person appointed by his younger brother to be the person he appointed himself. But the person he was pointing at was not much different from him."

"Hm. Perhaps this was not much different from the case of the Slave Empire." Kazuo gave a fair statement here.

"But what was the cause of death of the previous King?" Ask Another Commander.

"It's still a mystery. There is no conclusive evidence that it was a premeditated murder, so residents only argue that it was an accident. But there's still a lot of people who think it's a murder."

"Hm. What exactly does he want from us." I muttered in annoyance.

"Your Majesty. We'd better think of what letter we'll send to King Felsen." Kazuo then made me aware of what I should do.

I then turned to look at the girls, or rather Rin was. And for some reason, Rin turned red.
