I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 34

I urgently summoned the wizards in the palace and headed to the scene.

There, I witness her greatness firsthand.

While maintaining a barrier that surrounds a large number of people, they are casting attack magic and attacking the magical beast.

You’re too skilled, aren’t you?

I can use magic simultaneously too, but I don’t want to because it causes an imbalance.

Watching her magic, it seems she is more skilled at offensive spells than at barrier or healing magic.

If you only watch the situation, your reputation as a leader will decline.

After giving instructions to the other wizards, I managed to subdue the situation by defeating the magical beast and destroying the magic circle with her.

After the barrier disappeared, the complexion of the noble sons and daughters was extremely poor.

I hope this will be an opportunity for you to seriously study magical beasts at the academy.

I heard that shortly after, many marriage proposals were sent by the young lords who witnessed Lady Yuria’s achievements during the recent Crown Prince attack incident. In that case, I should submit mine as well.

I think I might be okay with becoming a partner with her.

I promptly returned home and told my father to send the marriage proposal. The family was overjoyed. They said they thought their son, who had no intention of getting married, would spend his life carefree in the palace.

I couldn’t retort because it wasn’t entirely wrong.

It seems that my father, saying he would go deliver it right away, took the marriage proposal directly to the count’s family.

It seems that Earl Osborne was surprised that his father brought the marriage proposal directly.

And it seems they didn’t have a good impression because I was a poor viscount, but when I mentioned my name, my workplace, and that I was the chief magician, their attitude seemed to change for the better.

All that’s left is for Lady Yuria to choose me. Even if Lady Yuria becomes a commoner, I can support her all by myself.

While thinking about such things, I was investigating the incident that occurred in the courtyard to find clues about the assailant.

The young lady, who had a magic circle drawn on her body, regained consciousness and was crying while trembling.

“I was kidnapped before,” she said. Her name is Lady Leila Shard, the daughter of the Earl. She mentioned that while she was out shopping in the royal capital with her maids, their carriage was attacked, and they were taken to a cabin deep in the forest.

Then, the hooded man said, “Choose: either be humiliated by the men here or drink this potion,” and Lady Leila, desperate to save herself, drank the potion.

She swallowed the medicine on the spot, suddenly felt drowsy, and lost consciousness right there.

Before I knew it, it seemed I had been abandoned near the mansion. Lady Layla returned to the mansion and continued her usual life as if nothing had happened.

The reason they didn’t report to the palace was probably because they feared the young lady would be ruined.

Lady Leila thought she returned to the mansion unscathed except for having been given the drug. According to the maid’s report, there was nothing on her back, and she didn’t notice anything.

There is a way to draw a magic circle on your back and prevent it from glowing. Normally, the magician uses their magical power to draw the magic circle.

The magic circle retains the caster’s magical power, allowing one to know who created it.

Those with a lot of magical power can faintly see the shape and color of others’ magic, so if Miss Leila had someone else’s magic wrapped around her back, someone would have noticed.

However, no one has noticed. In that case, the only way is to disable the magic circle and cut off the magical power.

However, if you cut off the magical power, the magic circle will not activate.

What can be considered is that someone present at that moment channeled magical energy into the magic circle drawn on Lady Leila’s back. That person is likely the main culprit this time.

After obtaining the list of those who attended the tea party, I will add our report and hand it over to the knight order. My focus is solely on the investigation of magic.

The knights will probably capture the culprit from here on.

The knight order has been humiliated by this attack. Several knights have been injured. They were quite angry, so the culprits will surely be found. However, if the main perpetrator is a high-ranking noble, it’s uncertain how much of the crime will be made public.

The reason for targeting the tea party as a high-ranking noble, is the goal to overthrow the state?

Or were you targeting His Highness?

If you’re going to cause such a major incident, you must have some serious resolve.

After that incident, she said she was fine, and since she had plenty of magical power, I thought she would be okay. It was only after I lost contact with her that I realized how reckless that thought was. I let my guard down.

They sent me a message via a message spell saying they couldn’t get in touch with Professor Paron.

After that incident, the teacher seemed to be too busy to spare any time, so I was about to head to Lady Yuria’s dormitory in their place when I received a message that Lady Yuria had woken up.

I felt a sense of relief, but at the same time, a bit of anger. I wondered if I had pushed my underage girlfriend too hard while I was there. Maybe I should be a little more overprotective. That’s what I thought.

And the story before I went back in time, as she told me.

Even as a man, I feel scared of being framed and executed. For Lady Yuria, who is directly involved, there is nothing but fear. It’s no wonder if she ends up losing her mind.

If I have memories of before returning to her, it means that the prince who used the time-reversal magic might also have memories. That obsession.

Surely, it was Prince Randolph who used magic.

Before Yuria-sama was executed, His Highness said that he hated himself.

Could it be that His Highness was brainwashed or enchanted?

Did her death trigger the breaking of the brainwashing?

In any case, it’s not good to hurt her any more than this.

If, if only… no, I should stop saying random things for now.
