“I’d forgotten that I’m not a good swimmer.”

“How foolish... Still, I can’t blame you for your actions, this time.”

In the end, the duel ended with the pair being washed ‘downstream.’ At the very least, Shouzo’s plan hadn’t been that problematic, given the circumstances, so no one was going to lecture him too harshly.

“Canvus.”

“Yes, I know, Paulette.”

“...I know you may not believe me, but Shouzo is a person with enormous amounts of mana. Bluntly, he may well have the mana of over a thousand normal people.”

After being recovered, the pair were treated quickly, and are now receiving a lecture from Paulette inside the cabin. Obviously, none of them have any real injuries worth talking about. Shouzo and Canvus both successfully emerged without drowning, having only been washed away by the torrent of water. If there were any real victims in this situation, they’d have to be Canvus’s retainers, who were now all suffering from extreme fatigue.

“I don’t know how powerful you expected him to be, but the reality is certainly far beyond your expectations. I understand it’s difficult to recognize without witnessing it in person...”

“Yes, you’re right. In the end, I clung to my standards, instead of believing you.”

Canvus had neglected Paulette out of his love for her. Even after believing her innocence, believing in the guarantees of the Lord Marshal, and then learning why she had kept him hidden, he still let his own wounded feelings determine his actions.

“When you arrived right before the duel, it just made me more determined to fight him. I was fixated on defeating him in front of you, even knowing that you’re not the sort of woman to be impressed by that.”

Fighting is a brutal occupation and necessary. At times, it even needs to take priority over prayers to God. Indeed, prayers to God may not even have any real meaning. Yet he had fallen in love with her precisely because she maintained her ideals in spite of the brutal violence of reality.

“I’m sorry. Not only did I doubt you, but in the process, I put the entire kingdom at risk.”

“Yes, indeed. Putting aside your offenses against me, you should think carefully about how you endangered the realm.”

At the very least, he should have trusted the words of the Marshal. Even if he had his doubts, he should have simply returned to his lands. If there had been no forthcoming information even then, he could have asked for an explanation.

“Of course, even if you thought he was a skilled mage, at most you would have considered him about the strength of ten ordinary mages...”

The kingdom and its surrounding cultures had an advanced knowledge of magic, which meant that its lower and upper limits were well understood. That was what prevented Canvus from acknowledging the risk of a mage with over a thousand times the mana of an ordinary mage.

“So, I’m a prodigy of unimaginable power, huh?”

“...There’s nothing I can deny about that statement,” the House Mage admits, even as he feels a bit of exasperation.
