"Magalette!" Jack said briskly from the entrance of the village, "Look what I've brought back?" Jack, the "Green Ghost" who was once the prince of the Kingdom of Kosai, was carrying a bound boar with a villager, and the boar was still screaming, but it was too exhausted to break free.

Princess Winter Ice, who was washing vegetables and fruits by the stream, looked sideways at her brother, and a warm smile bloomed from her usually serious and cold face, fascinating the male villager behind Jack, and almost dropped the wooden stick on his shoulder.

Jack happily took his prey back to his cabin, and since escaping from the Marquis of Ampvo, he followed his sister and the maiden named Ji'er to the territory of the Theoguna Empire. After arriving here, he did not get the opportunity to meet the Virgen Golia, and he was placed in this village, some distance from the city of Dorette, where he spent his days hunting, fishing, occasionally cutting down trees, and building and mending houses for the villagers. Such a life cannot be said to be meaningful, but it is completely different from the previous life, and I have gained unprecedented leisure and peace.

Jack has not forgotten his identity because of this, he is always concerned about the movements of the Kingdom of Cose, and he also cares about his brother Adam. When he heard that Adam had appointed Ludwig as governor and asked him to lead an army against the Duchy of Mageny, he realized that Adam would not be easily taken away from power by Ampwer - after Jack escaped from Ampwol's pursuit, he listed everything he had done, and finally found that in the kingdom of Cose, Ampwer had become in league with some nobles who coveted the throne of the sick Adam. After Jack's disappearance, Ampwer should have more power, but Ludwig's appearance also reassured Jack, and appointing the commoners was a clever tactic.

Later, Ludwig won a series of battles and took a quarter of the land of the Duchy of Magini, and Jack lived in this village with peace of mind, not thinking about the affairs of the Winter Kingdom for a while, and at the same time waiting for his sister.

Margaret, who is surrounded by eyes everywhere she goes, is soon persuaded by Ji'er to put on a veil, and when she goes out, she either wears a veil or a hooded dress, except in this small village of eight households, she always takes care to hide her beauty. Because that face will not only arouse the lust of men and the jealousy of women, but also may reveal where you are.

In fact, during the period since escaping from the Duchy of Noo, Margaret has lived with some orphans younger than her for a long time. The orphans lived with her in a large courtyard in the city of Dorette, which was more like a private school with a lot of money than an orphanage. Magalette, who had never met Saint Golia, had no complaints, and she knew that she was very grateful for the protection and reception of the other party. Ji'er, who brought them back, once revealed to Margaret that Miss Goliath was very busy, and although Margaret and Jack had special identities, Goliath did not want to have any political friction with the kingdom of Cose, which was far north of the continent.

"You just need to live here quietly," Ji'er, who had two big earrings on her ears, was annoyed by the imps, she pursed her mouth to try to get rid of them, but the imps were more nimble than anyone else, "As for the magic you want to learn... You're too old, and given who you are, it may take until Miss Goliath has time to confirm with you in person. ”

At that time, the "confirmation" that Ji'er spoke of was something that Margaret had known for a long time. The academy, which resembled the back garden of the royal palace, took in many orphans, and the academy was named after Delia, the sister of St. Golia. The orphanage called "Delia" has two directors, one is a short and smiling girl named Carrie. The other was a teenager who liked to wear a white robe, and his name was Luciano. The two of them gained the trust of the Holy Lady Golia at a young age, precisely because they followed the Saint Golia and the late Delia, the leader of the two-color blade mercenary regiment, at a very young age, and they have been studying and practicing since childhood, and they have long been different from ordinary boys and girls.

While the two were observing the orphans, Margaret, who was twenty years old this year, was also observing them. Carrie had just passed her seventeenth birthday, and she was very close to the girl orphans, and the younger the orphans, the more they wanted to stay with Carrie, whether it was reading or eating. The older orphan liked to be with Luciano, a good-looking, well-proportioned boy who did not stand out for himself, and who was best at cooking. Therefore, Margaret prefers to be close to Carrie, believing that Carrie can decide who can meet Miss Goliath, and there are a few orphans who have left the place after being recommended and have never returned.

Margaret is mentally mature, and she often observes everything in silence. At the same time, she also wants to learn magic from the bottom of her heart, instead of wasting a lot of time on meaningless things such as gardening, cooking, crafts, and art. Learning these things and cultivating these hobbies is just what a child does, she is not a child, and she is not here to live in peace. This princess wants to return to her country one day and give everything for her people, even if it is her own life.

Margaret returned to the village during the winter break to live with Jack, where they were about to prepare dry wood for the winter. Although it does not snow all year round, the winter is still unbearable. Both Jack and Margaret were accustomed to the cold of the north wind, and even if it was dry and cold, it would be much more comfortable than the southern climate. The wind, which was not very cool and a little wet, blew into the thick clothes, and Margaret always felt that the washed clothes could not be dried thoroughly, and it was very uncomfortable to wear.

After coming here, Margaret also learned all kinds of housework in a short time, and this princess, who was once a noble woman, was not like other noble women, she had strong hands-on ability and good learning ability. In fact, it was to meet the Holy Lady Golia, so she worked so hard to actively do every little thing, even if it was something she didn't like.

But today was the same, she didn't wait for Golia, even if it was Ji'er's appearance.

"Brother, today I made fish. "Margaret is very familiar with cooking, and the way she cooks fish is the best in this small village, but the wild boar is not.

"I'll try it," Jack said with a look of excitement and joy as he ate a little, "it's delicious!

Margaret knew that her brother, who had always been calm and resolute, was not the kind of person who showed such an expression because of a delicious piece of fish, but he was the kind of person who had nothing to hold in front of his loved ones. Of course, Margaret did not blame Jack for his exaggerated expression and demeanor, she just silently accepted the other party's compliment.

"Sister, do you know?, Adam, the governor he personally appointed, Ludwig, even defeated the Imperial army of East Oguna, and I think those Imperial people were really hateful in the first place, and they actually attacked us!"

"That's great... As long as someone is with Brother Adam, I'm relieved..."

"Ludwig is capable, but Ampwer is still gathering strength," Jack said, putting down his utensils and wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, "and he will certainly not rest on his laurels, for perhaps the conspiracy he is hatching will lead our country into a vortex of chaos." Margaret nodded silently, knowing that she was useless, and that she had not succeeded in becoming a pawn in a political marriage.

Dinner ended with a small talk, and most of the rest of the village fell asleep not long after dinner, and Jack, who was used to going to bed late, changed his habits. The people of those villages are the most simple peasants here, and they don't even know what other countries are on the mainland.

As Margaret fell asleep in a daze, a faint sound of footsteps approached. She opened her eyes slightly, and saw two men who looked like male villagers pounce on her! one covering Margaret's mouth, and the other holding Margaret's legs.

The two strong male villagers smiled lewdly and moved very loudly, and directly tied up Margaret and carried her out of the house. Margaret wanted to scream, but she couldn't call for help because her mouth was gagged, and Jack, who had always been vigilant, seemed to be sleeping deeply, not knowing that her sister had been abducted.

"Big brother! This stunning beauty has finally returned to the village! You can't let her go!"

"Yes, I noticed this woman from the mountainside back then, and if I didn't meet her again, I would definitely regret it for the rest of my life! It's so beautiful and so tempting! It's worth it even if I kill the whole village!"

Margaret soon realizes that the two men are bandits posing as villagers, and they must have watched Jack for a long time before they know that it was the time for Jack to sleep deepest.

But before the two thieves could take Margaret back to the mountain, a silvery-white light flashed before Margaret's eyes! The bandit holding her legs suddenly separated, most of his head was cut off, and blood and brains slipped down Margaret's legs.

"Who!" The other thief immediately drew his long knife from his back and stared at the night ahead without blinking.

But the night does not answer questions, and it is the silvery white light that responds. This time Margaret could see it clearly, and the silvery-white light the size of a saucer flew from not far away, and the bandit who was engrossed in it easily dodged it. And when the second and third lines of silver-white light were dodged, the bandit began to stop being afraid, and shouted as he approached the direction of the light.

"Caught you!" After walking more than ten meters, the bandit suddenly found a young man in a white robe standing there, and as soon as he rushed over with a long knife, the unarmed young man pulled out a hand from the white robe. A silvery-white light flashed out with the movement of his hand, like a man throwing a clean white plate out and "smashing" it on the body of a bandit.

Margaret, who had already stood up, saw that the boy was Luciano, and the silver-white light finally hit the bandit in front of him, directly penetrating the thief's heart.

By this time, Jack had already rushed out, and some of the villagers were also awakened by the loud shouts of the bandits, while Luciano, who was standing in front of the bandits' corpse, turned around and bowed.

"You're going to keep practicing it. ”

"Understood, Miss Goliath. ”

"But this princess is so lucky, it seems that she can learn offensive magic directly, and get the most out of the effects of destructive magic. ”
