Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Three more days have passed since I burned down the Friendship Flower with fire magic level 5. There was no change in the warding. As Klimiana said, it seems that the flower will disappear if it is burnt down with a strong fire magic.

Sadie's face did not clear even after seeing this result. Her anxiety was still unresolved in her heart.

I understand that feeling. It is possible to deal with the flower of friendship in such a completely isolated state with fire magic, but it takes a tremendous amount of magic power to burn down the flower of friendship spread over the earth. Well, I can handle it to some extent, but there is a limit. Right now, only the Grand Duchy of Foal is affected, but if it spreads to the rest of the world, even I would not be able to handle it.

Besides, even if I burn down the flowers that have spread over a wide area, the damage to the land will be considerable. It could be the result that the flowers are exterminated, but the land becomes a wasteland where no crops can be grown after that. Furthermore, if the extermination fails, the flowers will bloom again. ....... My head starts to hurt thinking about it.

Even so, I think Vieille has thought of a good idea. Even though they have mages who can handle level 5 fire magic, the range of fire magic is probably limited. So, if we can control the area of extermination according to the speed of reproduction of flowers, we can make that country belong to Klimiana forever. If we go against their will, the flowers will reproduce indefinitely and the country will be destroyed.

That clever girl. I don't think she'll suddenly make a move on Agartha, but she must think that if she can use the flower to make the nations that are allies of Agartha one by one, she can finally swallow this Agartha as well.

The flower is a flower.

"What in the world does Vieille want to do?"

That night, when the children were asleep and Rico and I were listening to the report of the day in the dining room of the house, I muttered these words to myself.

I know you have an ambition to conquer the world. But what will she do with this world if she succeeds in her ambition? I can't see her future at all.

"Perhaps there are two things.

It was Rico who opened his mouth. All eyes turn to her. Rico looks around at all the faces and continues to speak.

"One is to be the king of this world. The other is you, Linos.

"Me?"

"I'm sure he wants to surpass you."

"Do you think that if you can bring me to my knees, your dream of world domination will be much closer?"

"I'm sure that's part of it. ....... If anything, I think she takes pleasure in bringing her favorite lord to his knees."

"I knew it, she's a sissy, that little b*tc*."

"Dos?"

No, I'm talking about this one. So if I crawl in front of her and beg for forgiveness, she'll be satisfied ......?

"Probably, yes."

"Well, if it makes the world a better place, I'll bow down as much as I can. ....... I don't think it's going to be any better, no matter how far I crawl."

Sadie nodded deeply at my words.

"If you're going to do that, you might as well do it in front of Rico."

"......"

"Sorry, sorry. Rico doesn't like that type of boys. If he is not a strong man, if he is not a strong man, if he is not a man who has his own self, if he is not a man who can talk with Rico as an equal... I don't think he would be a target of her love."

"No, I don't think so."

Rico's face is blushing. The expression on his face is very cute.

"Anyway..."

Rico continues to speak, straightening his posture as if to hide his tele. I straighten my posture as she does.

"This is also just a guess of mine, but I think the main reason why Mr. Vieille is trying to conquer the world is because he wants to guarantee his own personal safety," she says.

"Personal safety?"

He's always been the target of attempts on his life. I've seen his relatives killed by the same people. With no one to trust, he thinks the quickest way to ensure his own safety is to be the first.

"I see. If I take control of the world, I won't have to worry about being killed. ....... No, but even if you take the reigns, those who try to take your head off will not disappear. Rather, they will be frightened of it this time, and it is likely to become the worst kind of dark politics in the end.

"I guess he has to believe that, or he won't be able to move forward. ......"

"Something like that. Well, anyway, it seems that the flower is not so simple. Tomorrow, I will tell the Grand Duke that I was able to get rid of the flower with my LV5 fire magic. But even if I tell him that, it does not mean that the Grand Duchy of Foal can be saved. Well, in the worst case scenario, I will go to that country to exterminate it, but it is more important to find a way to get rid of that flower other than by magic. Mae, Sadie. I know it's a lot of work, but ...... please do it."

They nodded slowly at my words.

"This is ...... my gut feeling, but ....... I have a feeling we're going to make it.

"I see. If Sadie says so, I'm sure we'll find a way."

"I'm sure it will be fine."

Everyone nodded at the sound of Sidi's voice.

The first time I saw him, I was surprised.

At the same time, in a room of the guest house in Agartha, Grand Duke Taste of the Grand Duchy of Foal and his brother, Duke Hartz and his family were meeting.

"I will be returning home soon. I cannot be away from the country for long.

At his words, the Duke of Hartz nodded deeply.

"Hartz, you will come home with me."

Yes, yes, yes.

"Cerloito."

"Yes. ......"

Please.

"......"

"I know it is a terrible thing to put the Grand Duchy of Foal on your two shoulders. But you are our only hope now. Please."

Serloitte bows her head, looking very timid.

"Melmo."

The Grand Duke turns his attention to his mother, who is standing next to Serloitte. She looks straight at the Grand Duke.

"Would you do me a favor?"

"Whatever you wish, Grand Duke."

"Um. I know it's a lot to ask, but ....... I ask you to stay here in Agartha and help the Serloites."

"Uncle ......"

Serloitte involuntarily looked up and saw the archduke. He glanced at her and gave a small nod.

"I thought it would be a good idea to live alone in this country, if only to study abroad," he said. But from now on, Serloitte will have to work with the best and most knowledgeable people in the world. I can only imagine the burden. I beg of you, Master Melmo, to stay in this country and help Serloitte. You can ease his physical and emotional burden.

"...... Yes, sir."

"Mother ......"

Without changing her expression at all, Melmo turned her attention to her daughter, Serloit. Then, holding her hand gently, he spoke to her in a small voice.

"Hang in there, Serloitte. Your mother is with you.

Tears welled up in Serloitte's eyes. She nodded her head again and again, holding her mother's hand with both of hers.

As she cried, Serloitte made a resolution in her heart. He would exterminate the flower no matter what it took. She had caused her parents nothing but worry up to this point, but here she was going to show her filial piety to her parents.

Serloitte put her strength into her hand that was holding her mother's hand.
