The room in the Mage Tower dedicated to child mages was bustling with five people: the "Four Musketeers" and Rasmus. They were gathered around a circular table, their textbooks spread out before them.
"Did Isaac fix it well, Sister Mel?" "I hope so!" "I'm worried..."
Rasmus, who had volunteered as their after-school tutor, intervened to help them with their homework. "What's going on?"
When Mirisa summarized what had happened, Rasmus's eyes immediately lit up with interest. "Ah, so Meldenik accidentally made a mistake in an experiment, and Isaac is helping with the magic?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Maybe it's an ordinary case. There shouldn't be any problems.
Quickly losing interest, Rasmus pulled out a textbook and began underlining a section to explain to the three children, not including Henry, who didn't attend the academy. However, the children weren't looking at their books. Instead, they were whispering to each other, their heads together.
"He was so cute today..." "He made a huge contribution. Hehe!" "Henry, you said he was a monster!" "...He's big. Very big."
Henry, who was on the defensive, quickly changed the subject. "Guronde, Isaac and Mary, do you know that what Monga did today will be useful?"
At Henry's words, the children all looked serious, recalling the time they had wandered through the Mage Tower corridors to cure Meldenik's abnormal condition. As the atmosphere suddenly grew quiet, Rasmus, who was looking at the textbook to help the children with their homework, looked up in bewilderment.
"Henry? What do you mean 'what good is it'?"
"I was going to call Rasmus earlier. I was going to ask you to heal Mel!" "But Isaac appeared around the corner of the hallway."
Following Henry's words, Axion began to reminisce.
"Why are you in such a rush? What's going on?"
Isaac's delicate and affectionate face raised questions. Henry spoke to Isaac.
"Mr. Ho Rasmus—" "No, wait!"
Axion hurriedly stopped Henry, who was about to call for Rasmus as planned.
"...No, please scroll the teleport! I need to go to the Imperial Palace!" "Why so sudden?" "I need to take Mel to my brother right away."
Carat poked Axion's side, seemingly confused. Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Isaac looked down at Axion and whispered in a low voice. "What's wrong with Mel?"
"Yes! Mel is under a bad spell in the Mage Tower Lab! But an ordinary wizard like Rasmus won't be able to cure Mel!" "Why do you think that?" "Originally, it was a monster. A princess under a bad spell must be awakened by the magic of true love!"
Axion, a boy who dreams of becoming a knight, had a surprisingly pure temperament. Carat raised his hands and shook his head frantically.
However, Isaac, who was looking at Axion, didn't laugh at the boy's innocence. Instead, he smiled softly and brushed the boy's flushed cheeks.
"If it's your brother, is it His Highness Prince Cassian?" "Yes, that's right! My brother loves Mel very much!"
Axion stretched out his arms in front of him and drew a large heart. He looked very excited. Isaac looked down at Zion, who was like an acorn, stroked the boy's head, and whispered in a low voice.
"It's a pity, but the magic of love is my specialty." "Huh?"
Carat and Henry clenched their fists tightly, and Axion tilted his head in confusion. Seeing Mirisa searching for him with a wild and blank gaze, Isaac concluded the conversation.
"So I guess it's my role to save the princess in danger."
Isaac squinted at the dumbfounded children and headed to the laboratory they had told them about. He had a characteristically languid smile on his lips.
After hearing the whole story, Rasmus began to make a stunned sound.
"No, Isaac is so strange... No, no."
Rasmus struggled to come up with a new word as a last consideration for his immediate boss.
"...Yes, he said such a romantic thing?" "Boom! Since it's Kuro, I'm sure Monga will be in trouble!"
Rasmus thought of Isaac. The Lord of the Demon Tower often wanders with a free spirit. A person who is kind to good people but merciless to evil people. And...
A man who hasn't even paid attention to things like love until now!
"That's ridiculous. I'm honest, guys. Did you spice it up?" "No!"
Of course, Rasmus also knew that Isaac cared about Meldenik. However, it was the magic of love, so saving the princess was not something Isaac could say.
"No, why suddenly..." "I should have taken him to my brother, though!"
Soon after, the textbook he had been holding fell from Rasmus's hand onto the desk. He said that Mel and Prince Cassian were a good match, and he was lost in thought as he looked at Axion, who was eagerly preaching that his brother really liked Mel.
'Is Prince Cassian interested in Meldenik? Did you say that because Prince Cassian was worried?'
It can't be.
Rasmus, who had been assisting Issac until now, was well aware that Issac didn't care about trivial matters. He was always indifferent, and he must not have known the feeling of jealousy in the first place.
But strangely, Isaac's voice, which had been saying that he was worried about Meldenik, kept passing through his mind. It was the first time Isaac had ever said that about a woman.
So I don't know. Maybe I said something really strange! No, maybe...
'Wait, listen to the kids, you two should be alone in the lab right now.'
Maybe you're acting even more affectionately, right?
Rasmus trembled as he touched his arms. For some reason, the chills gave me goosebumps in my arms. Obviously, he was curious about Isaac's love front and always supported him. But I feel good when I hear unexpected rumors that Isaac has changed because of a relationship...
"I feel like the world is going to be ruined..."
...I was strangely chilled and scared.
While Rasmus was trembling and talking to himself, the children's topics were bouncing everywhere. This time, the topic was the verification of her husband's feelings.
"If you want to be your sister's husband, you have to be verified."
Mirisa put her hands together in front of her and wrote in the notebook. On the notebook was the title '101 Trials and 101 Tests to Become Meldenik's Husband'.
"We have prepared a total of 202 test benches."
Axion nodded at Mirisa's proud words.
"My brother is the only one who can pass through so many things. I agree."
Carratt, who was handing her a notebook from Mirisa and flipping through the bookshelf, opened her mouth.
"No, walking on fire and water... Is it a person?"
Tak.
Mirisa's notebook was folded in half. She frowned and said seriously.
"If it's your sister's husband, of course you should do that."
While there was a heated discussion among the children, the dragon's eggs began to burn hot in the laboratory. Isaac and I were facing each other in a tense situation. We were now in the middle of a subtle skirmish with a dragon egg in between.
"When will it come out?" "It's coming out soon." "I hope you can come out and give me wise advice soon!"
There were so many things to ask. I couldn't hide my nervousness and clenched my fists.
"It's really breaking the shell!"
I stared at the dragon egg that set me on fire. Eventually, the egg broke and the bright blue hair quietly raised its head.
I wonder why you gave me a ride, but you should ask for advice first.
Isaac was holding the egg that was beginning to crack with a clattering sound. However, the egg bounced off at will and naturally landed on my lap. I was steamy because of the memory of burning earlier, but thanks to the dress, it's less hot now, so I decided to leave it alone for now.
'Now it's out!'
Will he finally be able to listen to the advice of the sage dragon to get tips on how to harm the pope?
I looked down with a pounding heart. With a small sound, a baby who looked like two to three years old stuck out of his shell and stared up at me.
I was nervous when I saw my child's lips pursed.
'What are you trying to say?'
"Mio!"
I blinked in a panic. It was an unexpected statement. Isn't that something I should do if I touch it incorrectly and then burn it?
"Do you hate me? Why?"
