Heavenly Magician
Chapter 81: Tear Drops

In the northern field right now there are a lot of tasks being carried out by the Knights.

They all worked to lead the uncontrollable inhabitants towards the middle of the northern field.

The northern field was originally a large, empty area, but today it is used as a Frame Rescue test field.

Amidst the flurry of Knights, I and the Other Commanders arrived at the northern field. Nikola and Norn, who were busy monitoring, ran towards me after realizing my whereabouts.

Their faces were tense, it showed that something was worrying them.

"Your Majesty."

"What's wrong? Why are your faces like that."

At first Nikola and Norn looked at each other at my question, but in the end Nikola spoke up.

"There is bad news, Your Majesty."

".........."

"About estimating the number of troubled residents of the capital, it looks like we lack Knights to help."

"When the other Knights were still bringing the residents here, the residents here rebelled and fled."

According to Nikola and Norn, I started looking around the field. It is true, it looks like some Knights are trying to catch the residents who are trying to escape.

Since their opponents were just ordinary residents, the Knights could not carelessly act on them. So the surveillance situation of the population is having a little difficulty.

"What should we do, Your Majesty?" The other Commander who had just been silent just now asked me.

"Hm. All right, I'm gonna build a wall around the north field so the residents can't escape."

The three of them nodded at the advice I gave. I then walked closer to the edge of the north field. Looking and focusing my mana.

~Earth protection, protect us all from any threat (Earth Wall)~

The ground suddenly shook violently. Several Knights on duty began to fall for not being able to maintain their own body balance.

Some of those who fell had also noticed the cause of the ground shaking as they stared at me standing alone.

Right in front of their eyes, a wall started to come out from within the ground, it was about five meters high and it started to grow around the northern field, leaving a hole for everyone's in and out access.

When the wall was plugged in, suddenly my chest felt a little strange.

"Ughr... What's going on." I muttered as I occasionally held onto my chest which felt tight.

Another and the two representatives who realized the strangeness of me started running towards me.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Ask Another.

"N-it's okay. I-I'm fine. Let's continue our work." I said to them with a slightly forced smile.

The Other Commander and his two deputies could not hide their anxious faces as they walked away from me, they occasionally stared back as if to make sure that I was okay.

I realized it was just a little smile to give them a sign that I was okay

Although my body feels better than it did a while ago, there is something different about me right now, and that is.

Magic weakens. Although not very influential, but when I use magic, my chest will hurt a little.

Because from earlier my attention was only focused on the state of the city, I did not realize that my magic was weakening.

Why didn't I realize it.

With a thought that was still as bad as the circumstances around me, I decided to go to the emergency tent that had been prepared in the northern field.

Many tents have been set up by the Knights to secure the population without hurting it. In the middle of the tent, there was a large tent with a Glory flag fluttering at its peak.

The flag flying above it indicates that it is the main tent.

Upon entering the main tent, I also sat on a chair that seemed to have been prepared.

I don't know why, I feel like this chair is for me.

The shape of the chair is indeed different from the throne in the audience room, but compared to the seats around me, this one is more striking.

With a slight sigh, I leaned my back against the back of the chair.

There were so many thoughts going through my head, from the cause of the tragedy in the capital to the cause of my weakened magic. Everything went into my head without pause.

Of all those problems, there is currently only one that I have thought of. I quickly pulled out my smartphone, looked for contact and contacted him.

"Hello, Shin."

"Miku, are you and the others okay?"

Huhh, thank goodness they are okay.

"Stay there Miku, never get out of the palace. Ok!"

"Huh. All right, but why?"

"I'll send someone else there, he'll explain later. All right, don't go anywhere."

Without waiting for a reply from Miku, I immediately closed the connection. Maybe that sounds a little less soupy, but the more Miku asks me, the harder it will be for me to lie, that's what I think.

Huh.

After confirming the safety of the girls, I also went back to looking for contacts to contact someone.

This time all I want to contact is the Other Commander.

"Hello, Your Majesty."

"Other!"

"Is there anything I can help you with, Your Majesty?"

Another voice sounded a little heavy, so I could only conclude that he was exhausted.

"Sorry, but can you go back to the palace. Please protect the girls and the people in the palace. Don't forget to also bring some Knights with you!"

"All right, Your Majesty. I'll do it."

"Thank you."

That word is a closing word between me and the others. After providing protection for the girls, I subconsciously went back to contemplating.

What happened to my magic.

How can my magic weaken at a time like this. What I should do.

Ahh, calm down Shin. Think straight, is there something I missed here.

First. A few hours ago things still looked normal, but now.

Second one. The three Goddesses returned for no apparent reason.

Thirdly. Magic weakens.

This must all have something to do with something I missed.

"Sad. This is all pissing me off." I muttered while biting my fingernails.

This incident that happened simultaneously made my head hurt. I tried to think hard about the cause of this incident which was completely unexpected.

But. No matter how much I try, in the end my mind must be deadlocked.

Feeling that my brain was getting hot, I came out of the main tent. The light breeze of the night hit my whole body, but the coldness of the night wind was defeated by the heat of my brain.

Once again, I used a summoning spell and summoned Haku.

It's true, my magic is indeed weakened.

The words were evidenced when I realized that I could not summon Haku and the others at all.

So I can only call a little bird like I did.

Looking up at the moonlit sky, I ordered the bird to fly. The bird began to flap its wings and darted flying into the sky.

As soon as my vision was connected to that bird's eye, I saw things I didn't want to see.

Most of the fires have been extinguished. The Knights are also still seen leading the residents to the northern field, but what I don't want to see is that.

"I'm like a useless person at a time like this." I muttered with eyes still focused on the scene.

Such a beautiful city under the moonlight was now like a city of death, darkness everywhere, what managed to illuminate the city were only the flames that were still burning at some point and the torches that the Knights had brought while going around.

Seeing the state of the city like that made my chest sore, and without me noticing the tears began to fill my eyelids.

Since setting foot in the new world, I have never cried at all, but now that my eyes have betrayed me, without my asking, tears have begun to fall down my cheeks.

As the droplets began to fill my cheeks, I immediately regained my senses and tried to wipe away my tears before someone saw it.

"What's this. Tears? Why I cry, I can't cry at a time like this." I muttered as I continued to try to remove the tears.

After all my tears had disappeared, I stared at the clock on my smartphone, the current clock showing at half-one p.m.

With eyes that certainly could not be closed, I also decided to walk through the northern field to monitor the state of the residents and Knights on duty.
