The receptionist had become too careless because she underestimated the child.

 

As she clucked her tongue, she pressed the emergency switch and immediately triggered the magic spell herself.

 

It was a spell to capture the target alive.

 

Fwik!

 

Very efficiently, Remilienne’s entire body became wrapped up with a sticky rope.

 

Still, the little girl completed the magic circle by a very narrow margin, falling down to the ground without trying to break her fall.

 

“……!”

 

The receptionist was in the middle of running towards Remilienne to hold her down, but all she could do was gape at the child.

 

The little girl’s black hair gradually changed as though the color was being drained.

 

Her ordinary and unmemorable face soon revealed features that would be considered as lovely anywhere.

 

‘The magic circle just now wasn’t for an attack, but to reveal her original features?’

 

As the color of Remilienne’s hair was fully revealed, it became a blonde color with light green highlights.

 

Emerald blonde.

 

This mysterious hair color couldn’t be found anywhere in this continent.

 

But if she exists…

 

“What’s going on.”

 

A cool voice resounded throughout the air like an exceedingly sharp blade.

 

The owner of that voice was a young man with black hair, who had just entered the lobby.

 

He was wearing a fluttering robe just like any other mage, but because he had an overwhelming height and robust physique, he would undoubtedly be mistaken for a swordsman instead.

 

His glossy hair was like a black leopard’s coat, and his handsome, angular features would also draw anyone’s admiration.

 

It was almost impossible to look away from his face because of his unrivaled atmosphere.

 

Even so, there was one drawback to a perfect admiration of his beautiful appearance, and that was the murderous look in his light purple eyes.

 

This man was the one who reigned at the top of the magic tower, and the one who Remilienne was here to meet.

 

It was ‘Cage Rell’, the lord of the magic tower at the forefront of the brand new era.

 

“I apologize, Tower Lord! There was a brief disturbance caused by an unauthorized visitor.”

 

“……”

 

As the receptionist went down on one knee and reported quickly, Cage threw a sharp look at the girl.

 

That gaze held so much pressure, but Remilienne nevertheless raised her head firmly even while she was on the ground. Then, she shouted loudly.

 

“Tower Lord! My name is Remilienne! I’m here to see you!”

 

“……”

 

“As you can see, I’m part elf! I’m sure I hold enough value that you’ll talk to me!”

 

The receptionist inwardly clucked his tongue.

 

She had a hunch the moment she saw that emerald blond color.

 

The girl just proclaimed that she was a descendant of the elves, which was an ancient race that was already extinct.

 

‘I can’t believe her. She’s going to sound like a total phony anyway. How can the strict Tower Lord even listen to such…’

 

But at that moment, a short whistle could be heard behind the tower lord.

 

“Hyuu! Gosh, what a brave little lady. Don’t you think so, Tower Lord?”

 

At what the pink-haired young man said, Cage frowned.

 

“Shut up, Whideon.”

 

“So, how should we get rid of her?”

 

“……”

 

The air around them fell silent at once.

 

But in an instant, the tower lord calmly declared.

 

“Take her with you and go. I’ll interrogate her myself after the meeting.”

 

“Yes, sir!”

 

With only these instructions, Cage left and walked out the doors of the magic tower without looking back. His assistants hastily followed him.

 

The only left from their group was the young man named Whideon.

 

“Hmm, let’s see here. First, we need to remove the ropes.”

 

At his signal, the receptionist nodded and undid the spell.

 

Remilienne staggered for a moment, but she quickly strengthened her stance and stood up.

 

Step, step.

 

Whideon approached the girl.

 

“Alright then, shall we go together?”

 

Remilienne looked up at the young man who was reaching out a hand to her.

 

Anyone would think that she’d be discouraged by hearing that the tower lord would interrogate her later, but.

 

“…Okay!”

 

The girl answered with vigor and held the young man’s hand tightly.

 

Step, step.

 

Taking her first steps just like that, this little girl was the one who’d soon shake the entire magic tower in the future.

 

Contrary to such a future however, Remilienne’s wish was quite simple.

 

‘…Let’s go save Mom.’

 

That her mother, who loved her more than anything else in the whole world, could have a bright future ahead of her.

 

And that the future of her mother and that villain who made her unhappy could vanish forever.
