Monster Princess

Episode 11

“Ha, my sister is so cold to me.”

Left alone, Ramiel grumbled, rubbing his tingling lips that were under Arbella’s no-word magic.

While walking to the 1st imperial palace alone, the shadow that Ramiel had sent came back.

“Did you find out?”

-Yeah, nothing stood out other than a sudden visit to the Blovis Forest over the past week. No one particularly entered the 1st Imperial Palace, and just before that, they canceled all other schedules as usual and stayed in the palace.

“Didn’t you figure out what was going on inside this time too?”

-Yes, I apologize. The First Princess noticed right away, so I had to leave in a hurry…

“It’s okay, it’s not just once or twice. But it’s a bit disappointing. The boundary of the 1st Imperial Palace is always solid, so it is not easy to get a peek.”

Ramiel muttered to himself, still looking drowsy.

Arbella sometimes stayed in the 1st Imperial Palace for a few days without a certain period, and he wondered what she was doing every time. It is said that she focused on magical research, but in Ramiel’s sense, it didn’t seem like it.

“Now that we’re in the 1st Imperial Palace, just take a look at my mother. My uncle comes and goes often these days.”

As Ramiel motioned a small gesture, a black snake-like figure fell from his shadow and moved to another nearby shadow.

The traces felt in the shadow also disappeared.

A strange smile was caught on Ramiel’s face.

‘I’m getting more curious. Why did my pretty sister have that face?’

To cancel the schedule and only go in and out of the imperial library, perhaps it was because of the burning enthusiasm as a real wizard.

Then, did she feel upset because the research did not go her way?

But just because of that, the face that Arbella had earlier in the dining room…

‘I thought she was going to cry …… That huge chunk of pride.’

Ramiel’s eyes glowed with a mysterious glow. Furthermore, seeing that she cut her beloved hair, it seemed clear that something unusual had happened to her this time.

“Hmm. If I knew what kind of guy he was, I was going to kick him.”

Unfortunately, he lost appetite.

In addition, there was one more thing that Ramiel was interested in these days.

‘It seems like Arbella is strangely paying attention to Judith these days?’

Light blue eyes resembling Arbella contained a chilly light.

Slip.

At that moment, a black figure partly separated from Ramiel’s shadow moved quickly like a snake and disappeared.

‘Arbella warned me not to cast shadows on the Palace of the First Princess, but… She didn’t tell me not to attach it to that mongrel bitch.’

Thinking so, Ramiel had a cruel smile on his lips.

After a while, Ramiel’s face, heading to the 1st Imperial Palace, was colored with laziness like a protective color again as if nothing had happened a while ago.

5. Judith’s male protagonist, Judith’s knight.

“Sir Rombell is waiting here.”

“Yes, I understand, First Princess.”

Today I visited the largest public library of the wizards in the Kamulita Empire. After dreaming about Judith, the most important thing to me now is to extend my life.

This is why I don’t bother touching Judith that bothers me.

With or without Judith, my disease was in progress anyway. So, what I needed right now was not to get the girl out of my sight.

‘Anyway, if I just cure the disease, I will win!’

So I was looking everywhere to see if there was any way to treat the wizard’s fever in between my schedules.

However, no useful material could be found in the Imperial Archives.

“Marina can wait in the lounge.”

The number of people I brought out today was few.

My closest maid, Marina, and the escort knight Sir Rombell, who I only take outside the Imperial Palace, were all my attendants.

I’m Kamulita’s strongest wizard, so why would I carry escorts in a row?

“Heok, First Princess…!”

“Oh, I’ll just say hello. You have to be quiet in the library.”

People who saw my face approached me like a fuss, but I raised my hand to block it. Fortunately, no one followed me.

I entered the library where access was restricted. Age was unavoidable, but I was able to break through the places where my status was not restricted.

But I couldn’t find any useful material for me now anywhere.

‘I’ve already inquired all kinds of places.’

Besides, if there was such a thing, the emperor and mother would have saved me with an elixir or whatever. To them, I must be a useful princess to let me die.

Suddenly, anger and irritation rose again, and I almost threw the book I was holding into the wall.

All of a sudden, I covered my burning eyes with the back of my hand.

“I’m annoyed.”

I wanted to believe what I saw not long ago was just a simple dream.

But it was impossible.

It was really strange, but it was an undeniable feeling that the things I saw in that bizarre space that day were the real future planned in front of me.

I was reminded of the memories over and over again that now seemed to be imprinted in my head.

‘Wait. Come to think of it, I think I’ve seen cases similar to what’s happening to me somewhere.’

I brought back the book that I roughly read a while ago.

‘This isn’t it. This too… Did I see it here?’

While searching through the materials like that, I finally found what I was looking for.

A proverb handed down to wizards from a very long time ago.

[Only the chosen one among the great wizards are allowed to look into the secrets of this world.]

‘This is it.’

I came to my senses for a moment.

It was a story about the other side of the world, the space of truth that the wizard aspires to peek at at least once in his life.

I looked through the materials related to it.

A weird dream.

A cage hanging in a vast space.

The book in that cage.

The truth beyond the horizon that is written there.

The contents of the book that the great wizards in the case said they had seen in their dreams were all different, but they were all saying that their lives had changed significantly through it.

They also said in common that they could instinctively see that it was not just a dream.

[The secret of the world is as huge as the size of the universe, so most humans, small beings, cannot bear its weight.]

[Only those who do not break down after seeing it are entitled to hold the other side of the world.]

I looked for and found a book with contents related to it as if I were possessed by something.

It wasn’t until a long time later that I sat blankly leaning against a chair.

‘Wow, I’m crazy.’

I covered my mouth with my hands and thought really seriously.

‘I can’t believe I’m seeing the other side of the world at this age. I’m crazy genius. Really.’

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like the other side of the world I went to in my dream was right.

Then, what was in the cage would have been the truth beyond the horizon scattered countless times in the world like the stars in the night sky.

At the moment of realization, joy enveloped my entire body.

Every wizard is bound to aspire to a pearl of higher wisdom, so the other side of the world that has come and gone from the mouths of those who have long sought the truth is a goal and a dream in everyone’s fantasy.

Of course, if someone heard it, they could tell me that I was mistaken.

But I was sure.

Of course. Who else deserves to go to the other side of the world unless you’re a genius wizard like me?

Every single person who saw behind the world became a great wizard. My genius was so scary that sometimes even I was afraid that I had experienced the other side of the world at the youngest age.

However, it was only for a moment that he was intoxicated with his own greatness. Thinking about the situation I’m in now, I got emotional again.

‘Ha, yes… …It doesn’t matter if it’s the other side of the real world or the other side of the fake world. If possible, it would have been better if you showed me a medical book on how to cure a wizard’s fever, rather than a garbage novel from the point of view of the useless omniscient Judith.’

In fact, I could understand the future me written in the book.

I had it all, power and honor. However, there was no way I could maintain my sanity when I am someone who had already tasted the sweetness and suddenly asked me to give it all out. That’s probably why I even touched forbidden magic.

‘Forbidden magic…’

‘They decided to accept him in the White Night Hall. As you know, the children of sinners who used forbidden magic need to be rehabilitated.’

‘That’s right. He’s unclean because he hasn’t been purified yet, so draw your attention, Princess.’

The link of thoughts led to the boy who I saw while walking on the corridor shortly after the luncheon.

When I saw him, I remembered what other people said.

‘However, I felt sorry for him because he met the wrong father. Well, the Rasner family’s name is gone anyway. He’s being reformed but there’s nowhere to go even if he got out.’

Forbidden magic is considered a serious sin because it requires a sacrifice. The same was true of the forbidden spell that I used in the book.

In an instant, the bookshelf collapsed at my fingertips.

‘The reason I died as a monster in the future written in the book was that I failed in forbidden magic.’

I remembered that it was a magic ceremony in which other people with powerful mana were sacrificed to stop the already ongoing wizard’s fever and take away their mana.

‘Then, as long as you don’t fail, isn’t it fine?’

Deep in thought, I walked slowly in front of the bookcase that I had stopped.

-Piiii!

Then, all of a sudden, I heard a tinnitus-like sound in my ear. The barrier that appeared in front of me was blocking me.
