Once she was done, the princess methodically closed the bag and stood.

“Thank you for waiting. I have everything I need.”

Her earnestness and honesty caused Zenjirou to relax into a smile as he spoke.

“That is good to hear. Was the time spent back here useful?”

“It was! It had been a while since I was able to see my family, and Princess Margarita offered me some guidance. It was fruitful indeed.” Bona smiled as she spoke. Her grin was honest, and there was no need to read into it.

“Hm? Princess Margarita guided you?”

“She did. She was the one who taught me enchanting. Ordinarily, someone’s mother and father will teach them, but my position complicated that somewhat.”

“Ah, I see.”

Bona—despite being born a low-ranking noble—had awoken the lineal magic of enchanting. She had no family who could teach her, so someone else had needed to do so. Apparently, Margarita had taken on that role.

“I must say, you seem to have focused on a very different specialty,” Zenjirou commented. “I believe I heard you were most skilled with jewelry.”

Margarita, in contrast, was a specialist in metalwork like swords and shields. For student and teacher, their focuses could not be more different.

“Her Highness is somewhat of a bad example in that respect. Seeing her beating at the metal like a demon does not dispose one to follow her path,” the princess answered, averting her eyes.

Apparently, Margarita’s passion for her craft was such that even Bona couldn’t countenance it.

Thus far, Zenjirou was rather well-disposed towards the more engineering-focused individuals of the Sharou family—like Francesco, Bona, and Margarita—and more poorly disposed towards the politicians like Bruno and Josep. It seemed now that perhaps he should have pitied the latter group.

While he let those thoughts swirl through his mind, he couldn’t spend too long talking with the princess. “I asked Prince Francesco this yesterday, but I wish to also ask you. There has been a slight change of plans, and I will be returning personally tomorrow. If you get the opportunity, please inform Her Majesty of this.”

“I understand. I will do so.”

Her acceptance prompted a relieved smile from Zenjirou. He had been somewhat nervous about entrusting the message to Francesco and no one else. The prince was so airheaded that Zenjirou could see him just chuckling and saying something along the lines of, “Oh, right, you did tell me that. I forgot.”

“Then I will send you on now. Are you ready?”

“I am,” Bona said, tightening her grip on the bag to avoid dropping it.

Zenjirou put his hand on her shoulder and closed his eyes before uttering the incantation. His almost daily use of the spell meant that—for the room in Capua’s palace at least—he didn’t need to rely on the printout.

“Send all things in the space that I envision to the place that I desire. As compensation, I offer—”

This time, he succeeded on his first attempt, even without the crutch of the photo.

Once Bona had vanished, he let out a sigh of relief and rolled his neck to loosen his shoulders.
