A deck chair and a table were set up underneath a tree near the villa. There, a pompous looking man in a bathrobe was lying reading a book—I could see him even from a distance.

“That is my father,” Hildetaura said, confirming my assumption.

I didn’t think we’d end up bumping into the king right off the bat though. And...why was he wearing a bathrobe? Did he go for a bath and decide to stay dressed like that? Whatever the case, at least it looked like he was enjoying his vacation.

“Father,” Hildetaura called as we approached.

“Imagine I’m not here. The last thing I want is to have to act like a king even on my days off,” he coldly responded, not looking up from his book.

“As if you ever acted like a king in the first place. Could you at least deem it worth your time to say hello to your daughter’s friends?” Hildetaura was usually so kind and cheerful to everyone she met, but her words now were laced with such venom. She really was different when interacting with her family.

“Like I care. Don’t bother me.”

Oh, so this was the kind of man the king was. But as bad as his attitude was, it was great for us. We would be allowed to enjoy our time here however we wished, and he could do as he wished. This was a much better scenario than if he’d been an overbearing father.

“As the man himself has clearly stated, you are permitted to treat him as if he does not exist. Pay him absolutely no mind. Let us be off.”

Good, let’s go. Reliared was already panicking at the sudden run-in with the king, so I wanted to hurry up and get to our rooms so she could calm down. We handed our luggage off to the servants who had come to greet us, and turned towards the large mansion.

“Nia Liston.”

What was this now? I turned around at the sound of my name to see the king still lying as he was. You know me?

His eyes did not leave his book as he continued, “When will you finally spread magivision far and wide?”

“Um... Excuse me?”

What was he saying?

“I feel a resolve from you—a resolve as if you’ve decided to live for magivision. So? When will you leave your mark?”

I had no memory of ever making a decision like that, but it was true I had decided I would put my life on the line for it—for the sake of the real Nia, and for the Liston family.

“Are you not being too passive? Too naive? If you’re truly serious, if you have resolved to live for magivision, then you need to see that through. Use whatever you have at your disposal. The end arrives without warning. Don’t think chances will always be available in such a money-grubbing world.”

Now this is interesting indeed...

“Father!”

“I’ve said my piece. Now leave.”

Even at Hildetaura’s admonishment, he clearly had no desire to say much more.

That was my first meeting with Hyurence Altoire, fourteenth king of Altoire.
