Several days had passed since then.

While Zenjirou was not in the royal palace, each day another guest from the Twin Kingdoms had arrived there.

Princess Margarita of the Sharou family was officially visiting, and her attendants and guards had been sent ahead of her. There was also an exclusive healer sent alongside her.

Additionally, slotted in between them was the former king Bruno.

“You are even bolder than I thought, Your Highness,” Aura greeted him.

“Hardly. You are already one of our closest allies and hosting two of our family. I have nothing to fear here. It has been a while, Queen Aura. How many years has it been since you stayed in our country?”

The young queen and old former king were in the farthest room in the palace. Only three people were in the room: the two royals and Aura’s confidant, Fabio. Both Capua and the Twin Kingdoms were keeping the fewest number of people involved possible. It was a truly private discussion.

“With secrecy being our top priority, please do not expect a great deal of hospitality here,” Aura chuckled as she reached for the tea that Fabio had prepared.

“Of course. I am only here for the day regardless, so there is no need.”

Bruno had decided that he would be leaving immediately via teleportation by Aura after their discussion had concluded. This speed was only possible now with people who could cast teleportation being present in both countries—Aura in Capua and Zenjirou in the Twin Kingdoms.

“Then let us use what time we have wisely and cut to the meat of our discussion, Your Highness. Or perhaps I should call you Remnant of the White Empire?”

Despite the force behind her smile, the sly old fox just waved off the statement.

“You may use whichever you prefer. Well, I should warn you that perhaps the latter is best used outside of prying eyes and ears. Even if it is fact.”

The queen raised a red eyebrow at that. While she had already heard the information from Lucretia, there was a greater weight behind it coming from the prior king—the core of their country.

“Would you tell me the details?” she asked, her eyes fixed on him.

The older man’s genial mood didn’t falter. “I have no desire to hide anything, but I am honestly not as informed as you might like. After all, the only record was verbal, so there was much lost, and likely untrue portions.”

“There were no records? At all?”

“That was the contract, though the contract itself was passed down verbally as well.”

“And was the agreement itself only verbal?” the queen asked, despite knowing that there was no chance of that.

Just as she expected, the former king shook his head. “Hardly. It was a true contract bound by magic. Or so it is said.”

Contract magic was something Aura had very recently heard of.

“That was one of the lineal magics of the White Empire. However, Lucretia stated that had died out. Were there survivors?”

The remnant of the empire shook his head. “There were not. Still, survivors or not,
