I Was Just Having Fun With The Time Limit – Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Chapter 67

I asked again.

“Did Father really say that himself?”

“To be precise, the Empress said that.”

“Is that so?”

I thought Father had said it himself. Oh well.

I was a little disappointed.

“Yes. She definitely said it was the day he wanted to be done the most. The Emperor didn’t deny it either.”

“That day is my birthday.”

“Birthday? You really mean birthday? Anything else special?”

“Well, that day was really my birthday. That night, I was surprised when you surprised me with a small party.”

“So you’re saying that the Emperor, not just any Emperor, but Emperor Ron Bilotian, ended the Royal Assembly early because of his daughter’s birthday?”

“I think so.”

“The princess knows that this doesn’t make logical sense, right?”

Rahella thought for a long time before asking again.

“Was there really nothing special?”

“Well, is it special that I don’t have many birthdays left? I think that’s why Father treats me a little differently.”

Because I’ll leave before Father does.

Giving your heart to someone with a shorter lifespan than you means you’re prepared for separation, and that’s why I think he treats me a little special.

“……Ah.”

As if Rahella had realized something she had forgotten, she looked at me and said, “Ah!”

“You don’t have to look at me with pity. I’m having a very bright day.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to pity you.”

“No, it’s okay.”

After a little while, Rahella said.

“So you really want to volunteer?”

“Yes. That’s why I came here.”

“Why?”

“Is there a reason why?”

“Princess Isabel needs one.”

“I just want to do my best.”

“Is that…… all?”

“Since I’m living at a pace several times faster than others, I thought I should live several times harder.”

Rahella nodded.

“Yes. I understand what you mean. I hope those words are true.”

“Yes?”

“No, it’s nothing. Let’s start volunteering tomorrow.”

Rahella didn’t fully believe Isabel’s words.

‘When I look at her smile and expression…… I feel like I want to believe her.’

It was a mysterious power that only Isabel possessed.

However, she was a woman of great political skill and ability, ascending to the throne at the youngest age among the seven rulers.

She saw the world in her own way, so she didn’t fully understand Isabel’s world.

‘There must be a reason.’

And that ‘reason’ will be revealed within a few days.

Volunteering here was actually close to chores, and it was an act of pushing yourself almost to your physical limits.

‘It must be very hard work for a child who has lived comfortably, eating food prepared by someone every day. No matter how much you have a Bilotian body, it’s definitely hard work.’

Then her true intentions will be revealed. Cracks will show, and then we’ll know why the Bilotian Imperial Family sent the princess here for political reasons.

‘She even attached Viaton as Isabel’s escort.’

Viaton was also quite a person of interest to the kings of each country.

He was a former assassin, a skilled magic swordsman, and the Emperor’s chief aide.

There was no reason to waste such a person on mere volunteering. (?)

‘There must be a lot of political maneuvering hidden.’

Viaton’s room was right next to Isabel’s.

The day before volunteering, Viaton visited Isabel’s room.

“Princess. This is the mask.”

“This is a mask?”

Isabel’s eyes widened.

No matter where she looked, she couldn’t see a mask.

What Viaton was holding in his hand was just a small necklace.

“Yes. I got it from my dwarf master magic engineer friend. If you hang it around your neck and pour a small amount of mana into it, a virtual mask will be created. It’s amazing, isn’t it?”

“……You got it, right?”

“Yes, I paid a fair price.”

A magic engineering necklace that changes your face.

In fact, this could be considered a tremendous device. Especially in a world where everyday magic like this isn’t developed. (?)

In other words, this was highly likely to be a treasure of the ‘dwarf master magic engineer’.

“Did you buy it?”

“I paid a fair price.”

“So, I’m not asking if you paid for it.”

“Th-then?”

“I’m asking if the seller was willing to sell it.”

“That’s……”

Viaton scratched the back of his head.

“He kept saying he wouldn’t sell it.”

“So?”

“So I paid a fair price and……”

“You stole it?”

“It’s not so much stealing as……”

“You stole it.”

“……”

“What do you mean you stole it? There are plenty of excellent masks that you wear on your face.”

Viaton smiled brightly, embarrassed.

“Am I being scolded right now?”

Somehow, I felt subtly happy.

“Teacher!”

“I borrowed it for a while. I’ll put it back where it belongs after the volunteering is over.”

“Who says you borrowed something that you secretly took when they said they wouldn’t sell it? You stole it!”

“……”

“Put it back.”

“N-now?”

“As soon as possible.”

“Can’t we do it later?”

“No.”

“Seeing how determined you are, I guess I should listen.”

“Absolutely. You have to promise.”

Isabel held out her pinky finger.

‘You must put it back where it belongs.’

Isabel thought she knew who the master magic engineer who made this necklace was.

It must have been the dwarf master magic engineer, ‘Hirden’.

, the villainess Isabel wanted to have Hirden’s masterpiece, ‘Tears of the Sun’, so badly, and in the end, she had Viaton steal it.

Hirden, who was furious, later made excellent weapons for the male lead, Arun, and those weapons played a very important role in bringing down the Bilotian Empire.

‘Hirden is the type who never forgives someone who steals his things. He’ll take terrible revenge!’

If you make the master magic engineer Hirden your enemy, you never know what will happen in the future. He could be a major threat to Bilotian in the future.

“And later, you’re going with me to apologize again.”

Hirden was a dwarf with a fiery temper, but he was still weak to children.

So if Isabel went and apologized in person, there was a very high chance he would accept it.

“I’ll apologize to Sir Hirden too.”

“The princess has done nothing wrong.”

“I asked you to get me a mask. I’ll go with you and apologize.”

“There’s no need for the princess to go that far……”

“I have to do this so that Sir Viaton doesn’t steal again! This is my way of reprimanding Sir Viaton.”

“Okay. I’m sorry. Then as punishment, I’ll stand guard here and protect you.”

Viaton really stood there all night and protected Isabel.

He had to do this to ease his mind.

‘If this is the punishment, I think I could take it every day.’

And morning came.

Just before leaving for volunteer work, Isabel learned some new facts.

‘How can there be no casualties?’

It was the capability of Rahella, who ruled the Kingdom of Alphea.

Long before the earthquake occurred, she predicted the earthquake by analyzing seismic waves and evacuated residents based on her excellent crisis management skills.

The shelters were very well-equipped, and subsequent damage recovery was being carried out in a very systematic manner.

‘That’s amazing.’

That’s why the people of the Kingdom of Alphea called Rahella ‘Holy King’ with respect.

‘I feel a little more at ease.’

It seemed like I could do volunteer work with a little more peace of mind.

Hector, the foreman of the 3rd disaster relief area in Linta region, frowned deeply.

“What’s that?”

“They say she’s a volunteer. She’s the youngest daughter of the Beloti Viscount family. Her specialty is magic, but……”

It didn’t really mean anything.

There were many nobles who wrote magic as their specialty when they had no other talents.

Except for mages from the Mirotel Magic Federation or the Magic Tower, very few of those who claimed to be mages could use proper magic.

“Ugh, not again, not again?”

The Beloti Viscount family was a fictional family.

The youngest daughter of the Beloti Viscount family was Isabel.

Hector sighed deeply when he saw Isabel.

Hector hated those types of volunteers.

Noble wannabes who put their names on the volunteer list and participated for their own and their family’s honor.

Hector called these types of volunteers ‘honor seekers’.

‘Honor seekers who only take up numbers on paper.’

It was so bad that there was a saying that one commoner volunteer was better than ten noble volunteers.

Moreover, that child was just a young girl in her early teens. She couldn’t be of any help, and it would be a blessing if she didn’t get in the way.

“Are there any other areas short of manpower? Just send her away, please.”

And a few hours later, foreman Hector couldn’t help but be surprised.

“……What am I looking at right now?”
