I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 284



284 – Side Story – A Story About Creating Peace (3)

First, Minnette revealed how he began his investigation into symbols of domination.

It is said that Ariel was the first to notice that the original symbol of dominance was decreasing in power over time, and that this phenomenon began to decrease after Serena and Evan were born.

So, he asked Minette to separately bring the symbol of domination and investigate it, and it appears that he made efforts to dig it up.

“Apparently, it has been about half a year since His Highness asked me to do so.”

“I guess that’s about it. I was skeptical at first, but I asked just in case.”

At first, Ariel thought it was just her mood

Even if the influence of the symbol of domination is decreasing in the first place, the change is not so big that it is noticeable even after a few months. That’s why Ariel also noticed this strange incident a little late.

So I pretended to be deceived and asked Minnette, but I never thought it would actually pay off. To be honest, she is also a bit confused.

“So I did some research and surprisingly, it was true. To be honest, I couldn’t believe it either.”

“So do i. “It seemed like my father had given up on understanding the symbols of domination.”

It is true that it is a great sacred object that protects Hespania, but it is also a monster for which no clear solution has been found, no matter how many scholars have researched it so far.

So Hespania, or rather the Robeheim family, tried to establish vegetation in this cold, snowy land and plan for the future in preparation for when the power of the symbol of domination was completely lost.

However, the fact that hope was returning to that uncertain future was enough to make Ariel smile with such joy.

“Now that I think about it, Ariel said earlier that it was thanks to me, right? What does that mean, Minette?”

“Ah, let me explain now. Actually, there isn’t much to explain… “Your Highness, may I ask you a favor?”

“Yes.”

Good luck!

Even though he didn’t specifically say what he was asking for, Ariel stretched out his hands her and raised his her magic her power her her as if he was waiting.

At the same time, the red magic of control, which can be said to be a symbol of the Robeheim family, bloomed like a flame, and eventually it gathered to one point and settled down in a small place on the palm of the hand ＜ br＞

“As you probably know, Prince Edgar, the symbol of domination and the head of the Robeheim family have been linked for generations.”

“Yes, it reminds me of something I heard at first glance.”

I don’t know the exact principle, but according to what Ariel had explained to me in passing after the family succession ceremony, he remembered it as such, and Edgar expressed his approval.

“So, I listened to His Majesty’s words and thoughts about it. If it is true that the rate at which the influence of the symbol of domination is decreasing has slowed since Lady Serena and Master Evan were born, then I think the change is not in the symbol of domination, but in Your Majesty.”

“That kind of thinking is possible.”

“Yes. As a result, I learned this. Would you like to look here?”

As an explorer, she always smiled confidently when she showed off the phenomenon she had discovered.

The moment I tried to look at the symbol of domination that Minette pointed to, the magic stone that had been shining with red light began to slowly change to purple.

“… !?”

Edgar, seeing this strange phenomenon for the first time, opened his eyes wide and looked at the two people in turn.

The first to open her mouth was Ariel with an elated expression.

“How is it? Isn’t it amazing?”

“Uh… That’s interesting, but what’s going on? Why this change in the symbol of domination…”

“It’s going to be hard to say in words, so I’ll tell you directly.”

At the same time as she said that, Ariel left her right hand holding the red magic flame and opened her left hand.

Good luck!

Then, just like before, a new flame of magic bloomed and brightened the surroundings for an instant.

But the problem is the color of that magical power,

“… Blue?”

For some reason, it was not the red magical power that was the symbol of the Robeheim family, but rather a clear blue color, like Edgar’s.

As a result, Edgar was dumbfounded for the second time.

“What do you think, doesn’t it look exactly like someone’s magical power?”

“I was already going to say that.”

Edgar looked at her in bewilderment, feeling that not only her color her was similar, but even her magical energy her and her strange energy her were exactly like his own her her her her.

“Actually, not long after giving birth to children, these changes occurred in my body. Ed, I think some of your magic power has been absorbed into my body.”

“Absorption? “Is that possible?”

It was an unbelievable story for Edgar, who had somewhat limited magical knowledge.

In the first place, magical power is not some kind of paint, and there is no way that it can be easily mixed by just combining the two and adding water. But how?

“It’s surprisingly possible. “Such a precedent exists in about one in 10,000 people, or even one in a generation.”

However, due to Minette’s subsequent assertion, he had no choice but to believe that this strange phenomenon really existed.

In other words, the body of the current woman named Ariel Loveheim contains not only the magical power of domination, which is the symbol of her her family her her her, but also the powerful magical power that her her husband her her, Edgar, possessed.

“Giving birth to a child basically means the union of the physical body, but in the world of magic, it goes one step further and is also called the union of magical powers.”

“Ah…”

It was a fairly simple explanation, but Edgar was able to understand it to some extent.

In fact, when Serena and Evan were born, Serena inherited almost all of her mother’s magic her her her, while her son her her her her, Evan, was born with both of her parents ‘magic her her of.

If that was the result of the magic power merging process as Minette said, then it would not be surprising if such a phenomenon occurred in Ariel’s body her as well.

“Then why did this change occur in the symbol of domination…”

“That’s right. According to Minette, Ed, it’s because my magic power merged with your magic power and harmonized.”

That’s why it’s purple.

Only then did Edgar understand why the color of the symbol of domination had suddenly changed. It appeared that way because his blue magic power was added to Ariel’s red magic power.

“The magical power of domination passed down from generation to generation in the Robeheim family is as powerful as its name. Some would even say that it matches or exceeds the imperial family’s magical power.”

Minette raised her glasses and pointed to the red magical power contained in Ariel’s right hand.

Clearly, the magical power in the blood of the Robeheim family is powerful. However, strength sometimes brings instability.

In that sense, the symbol of domination that protected Hespania by withstanding the powerful magical power of the previous family heads for the past hundreds of years can be seen as something truly remarkable.

“But when it comes to magic, balance is always the most important thing. It shouldn’t be too hot, it shouldn’t be too cold, it shouldn’t be too strong, and it shouldn’t be weak.”

As she continued speaking, Minette carefully made a gesture as if to invite Ariel’s hands to join her.

When Ariel combined the two magical powers as she said, it turned into a purple flame and increased in size, just like the change that occurred in the symbol of domination a moment ago.

“In that sense, Prince Edgar’s magic power was a good match for your Majesty’s magic power. “They coexist within one body while maintaining the full power of the magical power of domination, suppressing it to the point where it does not harm those around them.”

That change is also reflected in the symbol of domination linked to Ariel, and as a result, it is gradually regaining its power.

To put it a little worse, it means that in the past, she was gradually becoming senile due to being overworked by the powerful magical power of the previous family heads, but now she has become a little more comfortable after meeting a master who treats her appropriately.

“Umm… “I don’t think I did anything in particular.”

Edgar, who had finished understanding the explanation, nodded his head, but expressed confusion as if he did not know why this was thanks to him. I didn’t expect this result in the first place, and it was literally just luck.

However, Ariel’s thoughts on this were completely different.

“Fool, didn’t you hear what Minette said earlier? They say this kind of phenomenon happens once in a generation.”

From the beginning, Minette evaluated the phenomenon as almost a miracle. No matter how well the magical powers are compatible, it is something that has never been seen even in academia to blend together without any sense of discomfort.

Ariel spoke so passionately that it was something that could only be allowed to these two people in the world, and upon hearing those words, Ariel felt her gratitude and affection for Edgar grow.

“It seems like it’s really fate.”

“Do you understand now?”

“No, I knew about it before. “I’m just amazed.”

Edgar gently strokes his wife’s head as she pouts her lips, looking a little sulky. Ariel twitched and snuggled further into his embrace her her her, pressing her face her against his her chest her her her her.

“Anyway, that’s why I really wanted to tell you today. “Thank you for coming to me.”

“I am.”

In the past, when he said this, he seemed a little shy, but now it was refreshing to see his wife confidently look into her eyes and express her affection.

In the first place, I have no intention of being recognized for such achievements, and I do not even think that I have accomplished anything.

However, I was very happy that the result made her wife her smile her and that I could hear these words from her.
