The Ultimate Principality System
Chapter 55 - Castle

"Hmmm? My lord, it looks like they also kept some food."

I picked up something from the spider carcass and saw Layla pointing to one of the prisons.

"They did keep it there?!" I guess, it's for the locked up, maybe?

But why is there a prison inside the castle?

When I thought about it, I then found some things that I saw as human and animal skulls.

"It looks like this is a monster's carcass."

Then, for the human skull, they were separated and outside the iron fence.

I'm starting to understand this now.

If Mark said he was taking some of his followers on the way to this place with [Teleportation], I think it would make sense to find some monsters locked up here.

Possibility to learn perhaps?

Then, was this skull some sort of subordinate who died as well?

Butwhy?

"They should freeze and sleep long in capsules as Mark says."

There are a lot of things I don't know yet and it would make me confused to find out, so I'm just going to do it as it goes.

It first removes the castle from its "monster danger" status to "neutral" meaning, restrained.

Then, it seems like I need to clean them also from the dust.

Yes, I will plan on staying here after, so I will make some sort of adjustment inside the castle.

***

In an upstairs room, I came to the part that had Mark's name.

"Maybe this belongs to that person?"

The room was large and spacious, then there was a large bed in the middle, a table, a bench, a bookcase and ...

"Hmm?"

If it had his book, wouldn't that mean!

"There! Found it!"

I almost missed this if I didn't decide to find out.

I knew Mark was a witch before, and the guy with the job must have something to learn from this thing.

So, in my hands now was a magic book that seemed to explain the same element that was dark.

[+1 Spell \= Telepathy]

Telepathy I suppose. Yes ... It's written like that, so I'm gonna call it some kind of dark spell.

And, yup! As it looks I managed to learn from just reading.

"So I can finally do telepathy, huh?"

As soon as I said it, a mischievous idea flashed through my mind after seeing Layla curiously walking into the room at the same time as I hid.

《Layla, do you hear me?》

Not finding the person who called him he felt confused at first before it turned into worry as soon as it sounded like ...

《Your master will be in trouble if you don't see him soon.》

So, the panicked Layla immediately ran into each room.

"Who is talking?! And, what exactly happened?!"

Wow, I who saw this felt pity and couldn't stop laughing.

However, I immediately made her neutral after my hand touched her shoulder and stood in front of the girl.

《Can you hear me, Layla?》

"Yes, Mr ... But ... How could ..."

《Well, there was a lot going on, and in the end I learned a new skill after finding the book by accident. So ...》

So, Layla's face immediately flushed red as I immediately explained about myself pranking her earlier, and Layla instantly smashed at my face with a shield.

"Ah, I'm sorry Sir! I-I don't ..."

I shook my head, "Well, just think of this as the result."

From pranking.

Really, I never expected Layla to be like this.

Her shy self turned out to be quite cute.

But he who was panicking too moved his hand and did not notice his iron shield that hit my face.

Then, forget about this.

I then tried it on Vargha who was still outside the castle.

Although the snake was at first quite surprised to hear my voice, but he then calmed down and replied to me after I explained about this spell.

《So that's really you, Lein?》 (Vargha)

《Yes, it's me. Next I will continue to talk to [Telepati] if we split up.》 (Lein)

I saw Vargha shaking his head.

《This will be very useful, Lein. Because other than we can always communicate despite being at a long distance, I will always be able to help you if you are in trouble with the help of this magic.》

《Of course, I was very helped with this.》

After that brief conversation, I then changed my target from Vargha to the bird beside him.

And when things are sorted out, I'll start the fun part now, like contacting someone inside my old castle.

Actually, I can think they must be worried about me because I fell down and suddenly disappeared.

So, what good am I going to start with, huh?

I decided to start after saying,

《Halo Lucfier, How are you?》

Like that which would make one let out a voice with a kind of panic tone,

《T-Master?! Te-It turns out it was you?!》
