Overpowered Archmage Doesn't Hide His Talent

Chapter 186:

Chapter 186 Already dead.

Flan.?Aurora felt a chill run over her body as she heard the whispers of the maids.

Of course, the maids had no idea what she was feeling and kept talking.

“Well… it’s only natural.”

“Right? The situation is what it is.”?Aurora fled from her seat as if to escape. ?She bit her thumbnail in confusion, but the scenes that were hard for her to endure continued afterwards.?The professors of the magic department, and even the dean, Conette, visited Fritz’s territory from time to time.

Every time she met their eyes, Aurora felt like hiding in a mouse hole.?The visitors’ expressions were all dark.?They sighed as they touched the frozen Mythril, or expressed their worries about Flan.

Every single element became a dagger that stabbed Aurora.?Eventually, Aurora began to lower her head from some point on. She was afraid of observing other people’s expressions.?But there was a moment when she lifted her head again.

“Finally…!”?[They belatedly confirmed that there was no problem with the construction of the tower. This was clearly a mistake by the royal family, and therefore they should take responsibility and complete the remaining work….]?Finally, a decree came from the royal family to resume the construction.

Although it was an order from the third princess, Yushia, not herself, Aurora was just happy.?There was a big difference between being able to resume the construction and not being able to.

Flan’s mood would be a little better when he returned to the site. ?This was not just Aurora’s fuss, but a real achievement.

Even the lord of the territory, Trixie, had a relieved expression, that’s how much it was.?But it didn’t take long for Trixie’s calmness to crack. It was because Aurora, who was in a hurry, kept urging her.?“Did you check the royal decree?”

“Yes. I’m going to start working on it right away.”?“Do you have enough manpower? You’ll need a place to store the new materials, and a technique to remove Mythril. This might require the royal magicians….”?Trixie’s face gradually turned cold as he nodded politely.

Strictly speaking, Trixie had already given up a lot to the princess.?It was because of Aurora’s stubbornness that Flan participated in the reception in the first place.

Of course, that was fine.

Flan was a man who could prove his skills in any situation.?But the magic department was paralyzed, the construction of the tower was stopped, Flan’s whereabouts became vague…. These were problems that could not be ignored.?The people of the territory suffered all day, and he waited for Flan all day, the students of the magic department were wandering every day. ?Seeing her excited in this situation, the anger that he had suppressed rose again.?He wanted to treat Aurora as invisible, but it was not easy because she was a princess. Moreover, the princess often sighed deeply as she touched the devastated territory whenever she caught his eye.?Trixie was incredulous.?…Aurora, isn’t this all your fault??Even Trixie, who tried to keep calm every moment, was reaching his limit. He knew Flan’s passion for teaching better than anyone, so he was more angry.?Eventually, a vein popped up on Trixie’s forehead.?On the other hand, Aurora didn’t notice Trixie’s expression at all and just continued to talk.

“It looks like it would be nice to have a warehouse over there. If we start building it right now, we can finish it by today….”?“…What are you saying?”?Aurora’s body stiffened at the cold tone.?Aurora glanced at Trixie with only her eyes. Her eyes were full of confusion.?‘What are you saying?’?Aurora’s confusion was unbearable. It was because Trixie muttered in a calm expression as usual.

In other words, cognitive dissonance occurred.?At first, she doubted her ears.

How could he say that, when he knew she was a princess in front of him??It was not easy to blurt out something rude when he knew the other person’s status was high.

Either he hated her to death, or he was so angry that he forgot his status.?But Trixie was both.?Trixie spoke calmly.?“I think you know better than anyone why the situation became like this. But now you’re even giving me advice. Maybe, was your goal to manipulate the territory like this?”?“No, no…?”?Aurora didn’t know what to do.?If the other person was angry, Aurora was more angry. If the target exerted force, she exerted more force and broke it.

She lived every moment of her life like that, so she couldn’t find another way when she suddenly needed it.?It was so hard to focus on the present. Trixie’s words continued as Aurora pondered how to deal with it.?“Can’t you please stop interfering with the affairs of the territory. Frankly speaking, everyone is uncomfortable with you, Your Highness.”?Every word pierced Aurora’s heart like a dagger.

Aurora unconsciously gasped.

“I’ll gladly accept the punishment for what I just said. So….”?The joy of getting the permission sank into the abyss in an instant.?“…Please leave. Please.”?Aurora was hurt by that one word.?As much as a death sentence.

No, as much as the day of the guillotine.?“….”?The princess clutched her chest. She couldn’t breathe well.?The girl in front of her was also trembling.

Trixie was also quite nervous to face her, who was a princess.?But still, Trixie did not back down, like a loyal dog protecting something precious.

Aurora felt suffocated, as if she knew what that ‘precious thing’ was.

Yes, she was nothing but an obstacle in Flan’s way.

“Please stop.”

Then, a voice intervened.

The one who calmed Trixie down was Dean Conette.

?

There was a brief awkward silence as Conette stepped in.

“Hoo.”

Conette slowly wiped her face with her palm. But even then, he only glanced at Trixie a few times, and did not give Aurora a look.

She blinked her strange eyes and said.

“Trixie. You have the dignity of a lord.”

“…”

Trixie looked at Conette’s face with a lot to say, but their confrontation was not long.

Sighing deeply, Trixie finally bowed politely to Aurora.

“…I’m sorry. I’ll restrain myself.”

With that, Trixie left the place with a dark expression. Aurora looked at Conette with a flustered expression.

She wondered for a moment if the dean of the magic department had taken her side, but that expectation soon shattered.

She saw a glimpse of Conette’s future with a headache.

And the scenes she observed were all pushing Aurora into the abyss of despair.

Sighing deeply in her office, quietly venting her anger in a place where no one was, staring at the royal emblem with a cold gaze…

This time, too, it was nothing but resentment towards Aurora.

It was only natural.

She was the one who paralyzed the magic department.

Conette stepped forward and opened her mouth.

“Your Highness, please understand. The situation was tense, so he was sensitive, but I’ll discipline him.”

It sounded like a soothing word, but the princess felt it.

In this space, she was nothing but a contaminant that had to be comforted like a child. Conette handed Aurora a map.

“Your Highness, a separate residence has been prepared for you to stay in accordance with the etiquette. From now on, there will be no such incidents.”

Aurora quietly looked at the map.

She could tell right away that this was not a genuine consideration.

The location of the residence was at the edge of the territory.

“…”

It was a polite eviction order.

Conette, the dean, was legally driving Aurora away.

“I’ll write a report and send it to you as the situation changes within the territory. For now, stay there and…”

“I got it.”

Accepting it was the only thing Aurora could do.

“…I won’t leave the residence.”

In the end, Aurora was alone again.

Then Conette glanced at the attendants next to her.

“Housekeeper.”

“Yes. My lord.”

Only the housekeeper was called, but three maids quickly came and lined up.

“Please guide her. And be as considerate as possible.”

“Yes, sir.”

To Aurora, it sounded like a word to not let her wander around the territory even if they were considerate.

It probably meant that in reality, too.

The reason for attaching the maids was also to make sure that she was locked up in the residence with their own eyes and then report it.

The maids cautiously approached Aurora.

“Let’s go, Your Highness.”

“Yeah.”

She was surrounded by nothing but anger and lies.

“Dean, Flan has returned…!”

“What’s the current state of the reception room?”

The moment Flan returned to Fritz’s territory.

Aurora was driven out again.

When she realized that, her whole body twisted.

“Ugh…”

Aurora staggered a few times and vomited with a gwek sound.

The maids patted her back and muttered anxiously, but she couldn’t hear them because of the ringing in her ears.

“…”

She staggered and walked towards her residence.

“It’s all my fault. I’m such a… I’m just…”

She muttered words that no one could hear, and her eyes sank.

Like a person who was already dead.
