Translation Novel This world is mine

My heart is shaken

A soft breathing sound could be heard from Lillian's room in the Empress's palace. Lillian was sitting at the bedside, touching a crystal ball.

"She's a slave who comes and goes in and out of Charlize Rod Crosel's office as she pleases..."

The spy planted in the 3rd Knightage reported every day. After hearing the report that a mysterious light had leaked from the office of her half-sister, the Third Princess, Lillian could not hold back her laughter.

"See, Orion, I told you my half-sister might be up to something interesting."

Lillian kissed the bare shoulder of Orion, who was sleeping naked. Since the first prince and her older brother, Homer, had just died, it was not a good idea to come into contact with another person. However, Lillian had no intention of sending Orion out of the empress palace.

"My hunch is not wrong?"

Lillian looked lovingly at Orion, who was struggling to sleep. Lillian smiled at the small groaning voice.

"Sleep in peace, love. Damn Homer's dead too, so there's nothing to keep us apart."

Lillian carefully spread Orion's narrowed eyebrows with her index finger. Orion showed no sign of her waking up. Morning sunlight was already streaming through the arched windows, but she had no intention of touching Orion until late in the evening, if she wanted to.

Lillian left her room, leaving behind the sleeping Orion. She walked slowly into the extremely quiet basement of the Empress's palace. Lillian opened the door to the basement, neatly dressed in the uniform of the second knight commander.

"So Head Sorcerer, who rarely shows her face in public. Have you changed your mind?"

Lillian looked at someone happily from her small cell in the basement.

The person who shook her body so hard that the chair shook was none other than Alice, the Archmage of Eronis.

"Umm! Ummmm!"

Alice had dozens of restraints placed all over her body. Alice, who was born with a body that could operate a vast amount of mana, struggled to use magic.

"Well, I can't understand anything you're saying. Are you frustrated with the restraints?"

"Oop! Uuuuup!"

However, no matter how hard she tried, even Alyss, who had reached the level of an archmage, could not release Lillian's restraint. Lillian traced the corner of Alice's mouth with her fingertip.

"It's leaking dirty saliva."

Lillian chuckled and looked down at the young archmage. Since she was locked in the basement of the Empress's palace, the only person who knew the Archmage's whereabouts was herself.

The mercenary of the 2nd Knightage who brought the archmage under Lillian's orders had already died.

"I'll give you a chance. Use it to prove that you're of use to me."

As Lillian spoke with her flame-blue eyes twitching, Alice narrowed her red eyes.

Lillian had sent the heaviest-mouthed and quickest-footed member of the Second Knightage to the Forest of Eronis. She don't know why the Archmage, who was rumored to be living in seclusion, came out of the main gate of the Magic Tower, but she couldn't ask even if she wanted to because the knight who brought the Archmage was dead.

"Oooh! Ooh! Eup! Oooh!"

Alice screamed at Lillian to stop talking nonsense, but all that came out of her mouth was drool and animal-like cries. Out of anger, she poured out mana and tried to melt the restraints, but regardless of her will, the mana did not respond.
