Resurrected Immortal 954

Chapter 954 – 954. Blood Curse (3)

Lenny passed the entrance exam for the court wizard corps.
Her tryout was extremely fast, awesome, and unusual.
As she gained various experiences as an adventurer, her magical knowledge and sense developed were unrivaled.
All of the judges who evaluated Lenny were impressed by her amazing magic skills and were amazed by her.

“This is truly amazing. A wizard with this level of skill is rare even among adventurers.”

Perhaps because she was quite the adventurer and had a reputation in her guild, Lenny’s magic skills made a positive impression on her judges.
Moreover, she is a beautiful young wizard in her early 20s.
She also had judges who had strange feelings for her, not knowing whether they liked her or were interested in her.

“She looks like that witch.”

The leader of the court wizards of the Kingdom of Lucadia.
The other judges tilted their heads at Albred Lintense’s short muttering.

“If you say she’s a witch… Ah.”

The judges belatedly realized who he was referring to.
Beautiful appearance with long black hair.
Blue eyes like sapphire gems reminiscent of the sea.
All of the judges remembered the existence of a female magician who was at the same high level as Albred.
A place that everyone admires and at the same time, everyone is jealous of.
No matter how much effort and practice they make, the ultimate goal is reached only by geniuses with selected talents.
Although Lenny’s appearance is one of the top ten on her continent, she resembles Illyana Kennifer, who is praised as the best of the ten.
Perhaps among her distant ancestors, she may have been a wizard who inherited the blood of a witch like Illyana.
In that case, her magical talent, her deep understanding, and her excellent sense also made sense to her.

“…”

The mood of the judges who heard Albred’s short muttering changed completely in an instant.
Lennie was so embarrassed that he couldn’t say anything.
She just looked like Illyana and Kennifer, so it was natural for her that she had her talents and her attitude towards magic had changed.
How unreasonable and absurd it is that just that alone can change her treatment and treatment of herself.

“I am allowing you to join.”

Aside from not liking Lennie’s presence, Albred allowed her to join.
Putting her personal feelings aside, Lenny was a great wizard.
Surely she would be useful in some way, she decided.
In this way, Lenny joined the Lucadia Kingdom’s court wizard corps and was able to officially perform the position of court wizard.
There was only one reason she abandoned her life-long adventurer life and joined the court wizard corps.

“… “Lenny?”

Laxus, who came face to face with Leni inside the palace, looked surprised.
It was only natural that she met an unexpected person in an unexpected place, at an unexpected time, and with an unexpected person.
Lenny looked around her to make sure she was clear of people and carefully closed the distance between her and Lexus.
She gave him a small smile, feeling proud that she had surprised him.

“I’m surprised?”

“Of course I was surprised. “What the hell happened?”

On the expedition where they first met, the two became closer and gradually narrowed the distance, becoming lovers.
The only ones who knew it were the two people who became lovers.
As they got closer, the flaws in their relationship with each other disappeared, and before they knew it, they were comfortable with each other.
If someone else had seen the relationship between the two, it would not have been seen as a relationship between a prince and a court wizard.

“I became a court wizard.”

“I know that when I see it. What I want to ask is…”

“Why did you become a court wizard?”

“…”

Lenny smiled brightly and answered Lexus’ doubts.

“I want to be of strength to you.”

“Well, well… ?”

“I wanted to help you.”

Once again, she repeated the same thing.

“Even though I am a humble commoner wizard… Still, if I become a court wizard like this, I can be closer to you, so I can definitely be of help to you… Kwaaa!?”

Lexus suddenly hugged Lenny tightly.

“… Thank you.”

“Now, wait a minute! What if someone sees it… !”

She struggled to somehow free herself from the arms of her Lexus, but there was no way she could do anything with the strength of a strong grown man.

“Thank you. Thank you so much…”

Leni, who had been resisting with all her might as Lexus expressed her gratitude several times, suddenly stopped.
The tremors felt from his hands and from his tightly hugged body clearly conveyed how happy he was at the moment.
His words about not having a side in the palace came to mind again.
After realizing how devastated Lexus was becoming, Lenny could no longer resist.
Lenny hugged Lexus’ body tightly as he did.
Despite her timid personality, she achieved her goal by putting aside that personality and taking action.
To support my beloved Lexus and create a place for him to lean on.
Lennie couldn’t hide her joy at the fact that she had helped him.
The two continued their quiet and secret secret affair.
While enjoying secret meetings away from the eyes of those inside the royal palace, Lennie gradually gained insight into the circumstances inside her palace.

‘… It’s true. ‘It’s just as Lexus said.’

What Lexus said was true.
The inside of this royal palace was very chaotic.
Lexus’ father, the current king, did not take care of state affairs at all.
He held banquets on odd days and had drinks and food, or he was so obsessed with women that he invited his mistresses through the secret passage of the palace at all hours of the day and night and had fun with them in his bedroom.
And the three princes, including Lexus, keep each other in check and belittle each other for the next right to succeed to the throne, adding to the confusion through fierce competition.
As the two princes, who are Lexus’s half-brothers, are competing with each other to hold banquets and try to impress the current king, the kingdom’s finances are getting worse day by day.
There was no one who could stop it.
Not only the Minister of Finance, who was in charge of the kingdom’s finances, but even the Prime Minister who assisted the King could not stop it.
This is because not only the two princes, but also a number of nobles who were busy picking up the beans that fell from the princes to please them, gave their support.
This country is sick.
Even though the person is sick, no one acknowledges it as an illness, ignores it, and refuses to take responsibility.
It is a predetermined future that has no choice but to reach an end where everything will one day rot and crumble.
Leni could not help but sigh at the suffocating and frustrating situation inside the royal palace.
It was because he was worried about the future of the kingdom and Lexus, but also because his own situation was not that easy.

“Genius wizard girl. “Where are you going?”

“…”

“Ha, are you saying that a genius is not worth answering a question from a wizard without talent?”

She didn’t want to deal with it, so she pretended not to hear anything and tried to quickly walk away, but Lennie sighed at the continued sarcasm.

“I’m going to the library. “I plan to research new techniques through old literature.”

“As expected, you are amazing. I guess it’s because he’s a wizard loved by the prince. “You are so immersed in research without stopping.”

“…”

Moreover, the court wizards’ view of Leni was not very kind.
As soon as Lenny joined the court wizard corps, he quickly distinguished himself for his abilities.
Her court wizards, who originally occupied her place, disliked her.
After being recognized for her skills and quickly rising to the top by building up her track record, she eventually overtook their position and headed to a higher place.

“I’ll just go. “Seniors.”

Lenny said that her position within the wizarding order was that she was their superior, but she did not want to cause any more trouble, so she bowed politely to them and left her position.

“Tch. “A bitch with a smooth face.”

“Looks like you got promoted by bewitching the prince with that face.”

Lennie deliberately pretended not to hear and headed toward the library.
Her position as a member of the court magician group gradually rose upward, but her relationship with the members below her and in the middle was not very good.
Even though the rumor that Lenny was in a romantic relationship with Lexus had not yet spread, the rumor that she was a wizard trusted by Prince Lexus spread quickly.
Lexus had the weakest faction among the three princes within the kingdom.
Although the right to succession to the throne was his top priority, he had a very upright and honest character.
He did not accept bribes or self-interest, and he disliked selfish and greedy people who engaged in illegal activities or only wanted to enrich themselves.
The people who naturally gathered by his side were only those with upright character who were sincerely concerned about the safety of the country and knew how to serve the people, but the reality was very difficult to gather subjects with upright character who voluntarily performed devotion and service. .
Therefore, although Lexus’ faction had the highest priority in the line of succession to the throne, its position and faction power were in a precarious situation due to the control of the two princes.
In such a situation, it was a natural trend that as her newly joined court wizard Lenny’s activities grew, the court wizards who had supported her other factions looked down on her.
Even though it was so precarious, she tenaciously held on and maintained her delicate balance.

“Wow, we’re in big trouble!”

One of Lexus’s escorts hurriedly came looking for Lenny.
Then he told a shocking truth.
It was news that Prince Lexus had been imprisoned in a prison within the palace along with the news that he had discovered that he was planning a rebellion.
Lenny couldn’t believe it at first.
The only thing that could imprison the prince was the king above him.
As soon as he heard the news that the King himself had imprisoned Lexus, he was shocked, but Lenny had to come to his senses.

“First, let’s understand the situation. I am… “I’m going to go see the prince.”

“But the prince is no one now…” .”

“Are you okay. “There is a way.”

Lenny used her ‘invisibility’ magic to hide her own appearance.
Through her invisibility, she naturally got past her guard and met Laxus, who was imprisoned.

“… “Lenny?”

“Lexus! “What happened?”

Laxus was at first surprised to see Lenny appearing out of nowhere, but upon seeing her concerned for his own well-being, he gave her a wry smile and explained her own situation.

“… “I was tricked by her brothers.”

The two princes planted spies among Lexus’ henchmen.
And by manipulating and fabricating appropriate evidence, he created the circumstances of a treason.
Naturally, this led to an accusation, and in the blink of an eye, Lexus became a traitor and was imprisoned.

“All… It’s over. Entire… “It was pointless.”

Laxus sobbed, covering his face with his hands.
He lived so honestly and tried again and again for his people and country, but in the end he was stigmatized as a traitor.
It was a moment when his heart was completely broken.

“… “Lexus.”

“Lenny. Sorry. How much effort have you put in until now… You did this for me… I was so foolish. I was stupid. “I didn’t know the reality.”

“Lexus.”

Lennie stretched out her hand through the bars.
Her heart was broken by her humiliation and betrayal, and she spoke, gently stroking his cheek.

“Shall we run away?”

“… What?”

“Shall we run away? “He abandons his status as a prince and court wizard and lives only for us.”

“…”

Lexus listened to Lenny’s words with a blank expression.

“You are excellent at swordsmanship, so you will definitely be able to become an excellent adventurer. “I am an excellent wizard who can assist you.”

“Ah…”

“Not to the Kingdom of Lucadia, but to another country. And instead of saving and protecting many people, I live only for you. And…”

Her words sounded like a really sweet temptation, so sweet that you might even think she wanted to do that, so her mouth couldn’t drop.

“Oh, we have a child too…” .”

Her last words must have been so embarrassing that even Leni couldn’t help but turn her face away and blush.
