<span style="font-weight:400">"Carolyn, are you ready to go?" After the midterms had ended, it was time for the two kingdoms to return home. Everything had been decided; the couple would be heading to both kingdoms to check everything out. The first one the two would be heading to was Alger''s kingdom.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Carolyn nodded. All her things were packed up behind the carriage. Oscar waved his hand, "Make sure to stay safe."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Carolyn, remember my words," Felix warned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...I understand, Brother."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Carolyn," Tristan wanted to say something. But Alger added, "Don''t worry about anything, Tristan. I will keep her safe."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Tristan was silent as he could only stand there. That was when the carriage headed into the teleportation gate. The next ce the two appeared before was the outskirts of a kingdom. It was pretty grand. There were many different thingspared to the Solis Kingdom.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wow, you guys have so many magic items." On each column, a giant crystal floated on top.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Our kingdom is one of the best at creating magical weapons." One of the reasons why the Philosopher Kingdom was named the strongest human kingdom was its military. The sword saint''s might was not to be trifled with. Besides the saint, another reason was its magical tools. They were named one of the three kingdoms to obtain magical equipment. It was said they had magical weapons capable of leveling an entire building in one blow.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed,"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"But, Dear, you need to stop putting your head out the window like a child; you must act more prim and elegant." People could see into the carriage. It wasn''t exacting something that they could stop.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Everything is so incredible."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I know, but you have to sit down."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"..Alright." Carolyn sighed as she sat down. Alger shook his head as the carriage headed into the castle. If the outside showed the kingdom''s might, the inside showed its wealth.
<span style="font-weight:400">Alger stepped out first, raising his hand, "Take my hand."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Carolyn nodded as she held it. But the moment she did, she was greeted by many maids.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wee home, Prince!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Alger nodded as he walked past them without thinking. It was quite a cold showing, and he didn''t even bat an eye as he walked.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Greetings to Your Majesty,"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hello," Carolyn had lowered her head, doing a pleasant bow. However, when she looked up, Harold and Mireya frowned before Harold nodded, "Wee to the family, Carolyn."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Than-It''s a pleasure to meet you all." Carolyn quickly changed up her words.
<span style="font-weight:400">Harold nodded, but Mireya still frowned, "I will have you know that if you''re to be queen of this kingdom, you must be prim and proper."
<span style="font-weight:400">"...I understand," Carolyn nodded. That didn''t settle with Mireya. Harold cut the conversation short as he suggested, "Let''s have a meal now. You two have returned from the journey."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">The four headed into the dining room. That was when Harold questioned, "When are the two of you going to have your wedding?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Uh," Carolyn was surprised as she dropped her spoon. It came out of the blue. But that only caused Mireya toment, "Isn''t it obvious that you will have to get married to one another since you''re engaged?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes. But-" Carolyn really didn''t know what to say about this. Everything was too soon.
<span style="font-weight:400">Harold smiled, "You don''t need to worry about the decorations. We shall do everything."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Umm-" Carolyn wanted to say something, but everything was out of her mouth. Harold and Alger were already nning a date and everything.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her mouth couldn''t open. No, I must do this.
<span style="font-weight:400">After having a meal, Carolyn was brought over to a room. When she did, arge painting spanned across the entire wall. It was stunning, and it showed a lot of things.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What is that?" Staring at the painting made her feel something.
<span style="font-weight:400">A maid responded, "From what I''ve heard, it''s a mural of the past founders of the kingdom. Each one was turned into a star."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Actually, I heard it was the weapons the kingdom had created."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, In the beginning, it''s said that it could destroy a nation if used."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Isn''t that just a myth?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You wouldn''t say that."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">A weapon? Carolyn blinked as she continued to stare at the painting.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Carolyn," A voice called out to her. It was none other than Alger,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? Is something the matter?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go out. It''s your first time in the city, right?" Alger suggested.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." The two were going to leave. But before they did, Alger''s head turned around. His eyes were hollowed as he stared at the maids.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"!" The maids wanted to say something. But it was already toote as their mouths were closed off.
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do we have to take the carriage?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course, we''re royalty," Alger opened the door for her.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''re going to buy clothes again?" Didn''t they do so not some time ago?
<span style="font-weight:400">"These clothes are different. They''re made with special fabric."
<span style="font-weight:400">"...I see." I feel like you''re messing with me. Carolyn shook her head as she looked around. The designs were quite different from the ones in the city.
<span style="font-weight:400">Oh, these look nice. She went into the dressing room and came out with some pants and a shirt on, "What do you think?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s bad."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? But I-"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Change it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"But."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Change into this," Alger grabbed a crimson dress and handed it over, "You need to wear the color red as it''s the symbol of our kingdom."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Carolyn stared at it, but Alger''s eyes were unwavering. It was quite cold.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Understood."
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">Late at night,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you remember what I had said before?" Harold questioned. The three were now in a room.
<span style="font-weight:400">Alger nodded, "Mmhmm. I remembered what you said and brought her here."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good, is she able to use grand-level magic?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Alger took a deep huff, "My apologies, Father, that''s something I could not do so." The highest level of magic that Carolyn was able to use was high-level.
<span style="font-weight:400">Harold''s expression distorted as he pped Alger''s face!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Useless! Didn''t I tell you before that you must train her to be able to use grand-level magic?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I understand, Father; please give me more time to do so."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tch," Harold looked away from him, "Make her learn how to use grand-level magic. Our kingdom needs it. For it to prosper, the saint needs to learn grand-level magic."
<span style="font-weight:400">"I understand," How could that woman be so stupid?!
