"You said you would give me anything I want. Then divorce me."
It was the only way for Lasilia to live.

"Ancient magic..."
Lasilia slowly recalled Decan's words. There were very few records of ancient magic in Dell'Arta. Perhaps the only one whose records remain is the Elíadan Empire, which has the longest history on the continent.
"Yes. For now, that's the closest answer."
Decan's explanation continued. The basis of magic was to use a specific power that existed in nature, not that of humans. Modern magic refers to that power as mana. The magic circle was used to move mana. However, it is said that ancient magic used powers other than mana. The beginning was to summon power using Jin, but the nature of the power was said to be different. I didn't know that the power that comes across dimensions could also work on humans, unlike mana.
"Then... I guess the culprit has been determined."
It would be the Knights of Saint Malik. Yvette told her the other day that they reverenced ancient magic and were trying to restore it.
"It's still just speculation. I can only guess that ancient magic was used, but there is no clear evidence."
"Besides, since they will become Holy Knights and receive the protection of the temple, I won't be able to touch them hastily."
"What you said is correct."
The conversation stopped for a moment. It was clear that the Knights of St. Malik were targeting the imperial family. Ominous thoughts continued to ripple through my mind.
'I was trying to take off my clothes. That means... Was it to check the mark?'
Marquis Parshad, who knew the mark was disappearing, was connected to the temple. It was said that the Marchioness had not taken a single step from the Marquis' residence since then, but she could not be sure that the secret had not leaked out.
'For revealing that I am a fake. What are you going to do next?'
Until now, Lasilia thought that she was the only one who would be in danger if her true identity was revealed. She believed that it would be a better outcome for the emperor because he would eventually be able to find a true companion.
'But if the temple tries to use it somehow. Can't it just be good?'
