The day went by in a flash. We had so much fun that it was as if we were living in a totally different timeline, just like Chronos Casablancas, the kingdom’s leading time manipulation magic specialist, wrote about in the opening to The Illusion We Call Time.

“Thank you for taking me out today,” Evangeline effused. “It was ever so fun. I never thought I would have such a splendid time experiencing the life of an ordinary girl.”

“To me, a queen’s lifestyle seems nicer.”

“It may look nice from the outside, but in reality, it is not so easy. There is so much responsibility, and I feel as if somebody is watching my every move.” She smiled at the irony of the situation. “Then again, had I been born as an ordinary girl, I imagine I would have detested the thought of being ‘ordinary.’ Our dreams are always so much more alluring than the reality in which we live.”

“Ah, I see what you mean.”

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, I thought. It’s easy to romanticize something when all you can see are its good points.

I was always jealous of other people for being tall and shapely, but I bet it causes them problems too. If you’re tall, you can’t wear high heels. You could hit your head or have neck pain...

But if that’s as bad as it gets, I’d happily be reborn with the body of a supermodel!

When my thoughts reached their avaricious conclusion, they must have shown on my face. Evangeline looked at me and stifled a laugh.

“I have one more thing of note I wish to tell you,” she said.

“What?”

“Come in a little closer.” She approached my ear and quietly continued. “It looks as if some kind of crisis will afflict the royal family in the near future.”

“How do you know?”

“Something seemed wrong. Whatever it is, I suspect that whoever solves the crisis will receive a reward of unprecedented value.”

“Unprecedented value, huh?” I opened my eyes wide. “Y-You mean like, ten years’ worth of all-you-can-eat at Big Belly Cafeteria?!”

“Something even greater than that, I think.”

“So I could eat more than that? I gotta do whatever it takes to earn that reward!”

I was burning with excitement. At the same time, though, I couldn’t help but think of my hospitalized friend. I knew that he was working to become the kingdom’s greatest magician to win something that he wanted above all else.

If I succeed, then that should improve his reputation as my mentor too!

I’d still done nothing to repay him for bringing me to the Royal Court Magicians’ Division. I decided I wanted to really knock his socks off when he came back and heard the news.

Heh. He should be grateful for having such a good friend.

Still smiling at the thought of Luke’s surprised reaction, I asked, “But what do you think is the matter?”

“I cannot be sure. I think the royal family may face some kind of threat.”

“What could it be...?” I pondered.

Evangeline smiled. “Show everyone what you are capable of.
