Though, speaking of those incidents, no such thing happened yet here in the Astrum kingdom, huh?I looked out the window beside me, watching the people walk about like usual.Most haven''t panicked because they probably trust the royal family to deal with it accordingly if it were to happen. After all, they always have protected the people with great ease before. ...but...Feeling anxious, I sipped some more tea to calm myself. Speculating what could happen won''t help. If I were to help, I need solid evidence. Sadly, each incident didn''t seem to have any common factor between them, as far as the public knew. I won''t be able to gain any more info since any offer of assistance won''t be accepted due to security reasons.
...hm, a normal citizen, huh? He isn''t wearing a mage''s uniform so I assume he is.Unfortunately, I was unsure of how to respond, so all I could do was nod my head.
I wonder if he would be the type to look away and say he doesn''t know them?I pondered to myself while watching the male eat his food. ...I''m getting the feeling he would, all the while mentally complaining about why he was friends with them to begin with.Suddenly, I start feeling self-conscious staring at him so I immediately averted my attention to the cup of tea with a blush. Though, now that I look, there wasn''t much left. As I drank the remaining tea, I soon felt the brunet''s gaze on me.
How does the hell he know that? Normal citizens are forbidden from knowing too much about magecraft!I quickly returned his gaze after recovering, suddenly apprehensive.Maybe he''s a traveler from another kingdom? But normally those people have—!
S-star?! That''s for the ones who have the trust of the royal family!I opened my mouth to remark on that but the young man put a finger to his lips, telling me to remain quiet. I closed my mouth and bit my lip nervously as the brunet put it back into his pocket. I worriedly glanced out the window. Everything was still fine but I had a sinking feeling that it might not last long, especially if someone with that badge was roaming about here since they usually appear to solve any upcoming crisis. These peaceful moments of people walking about, going on about their own business without a care, will fall apart. Biting my lip harder to the point it started bleeding, I returned my attention to the traveler.
...what a strange reaction. Why would he be sad?However, I decided not to push it, figuring that I''ll know in time. I take my hand away and give him a small smile.
...why do I have the feeling I got dragged into something really big?I thought to myself as I did as I was instructed.But I can''t just do nothing though...Trying my best to not sigh, I was about to ask him what I should do next but the instant he snapped his fingers, my eyes suddenly felt strange. All of a sudden, my vision got blurry and strangely enough, everything got increasingly distorted. This time, I heard his voice in my head as if he was using telepathy.
