There are no Bad Transcendents in the World

“Your Highness…?”

Luke blinked at the teacup Daniel had destroyed.

It’s been almost 20 years since Luke served him as his lord, but it’s the first time he has seen Daniel like this.

Daniel Prause lost his temper.

“Sorry,”

Daniel answered in a sullen voice and then magically fixed the teacup again. His appearance is not as usual.

“I’ve been feeling a little strange since a while ago… What happened last night?”

“…”

Daniel’s brows are slightly wrinkled. It was because Luke’s question reminded Daniel of Frey’s future that he had forgotten. He answered while tearing the two words ‘remarriage’ that echoed in his head.

“I tried my best last night, but there was something I didn’t like.”

“Wow…You talk about the couple’s personal history without hesitation. Well, the married life of the grand duke couple is the eternal interest of the local people.”

“Luke. Is your mind full of such thoughts?”

Even Daniel himself couldn’t understand why he was distracted all day and became low-pressure. After thinking for a moment, he gave an order in his noble yet low voice.

“The fact that my wife told me who she was meeting means that I should be prepared.”

“Yeah, what…?”

“Luke. Send Prause’s intelligence Knight there. Let him report every trick that wizard playing with my wife.”

“….”

Instead of adding a joke as was customary, Luke made his way out of the room with courtesy. To think that a young man who was as gentle and kind as an angel would reveal his murderous intentions out of possessiveness.

‘Grandpa would faint if he know it.’

He moved his legs to meet the intelligent knight as quickly as possible.

“High priest, could you please give me a moment? There’s something I haven’t said before.”

After the Emperor’s carriage left the Great Hall, Frey went to the High Priest’s office again.

The high priest swallowed dry saliva and brought her into the office.

He had no worries because he had directly confirmed that Frey had excellent divine power, but he felt another ominous feeling.

‘I’m sure she’s asking for anything in return for building a sacred tower.’

The Sacred Tower is a groundbreaking invention that can save an empire that has been plagued by undead monsters since the beginning of time. If Frey held such an invention hostage and asked for anything, he had no choice but to listen.

‘Are you going to take the gemstone from my wand this time?’

The High Priestess waited for Frey’s will, feeling that the moment seemed like an eternity.

However, the words that came out of her mouth were completely unexpected.

“Take care of my father’s health.”

“What…?”

Where did the immature princess who begged the emperor to buy jewels go?

Whether the High Priestess blinked or not, Frey proceeded with the request mixed with concern.

“It is literally. My father always says that there is nothing wrong with the medical examination results, but it could have been manipulated in collaboration with the imperial Doctor.”

“Is there any reason why you think that way?”

Frey couldn’t answer that she knew the future where her father would die of chronic disease, thanks to memorizing the story of the game.

Frey found a good reason.

“After experiencing it myself, it seems that using divine power is a task that puts a lot of strain on the body.”

“Yeah…”

“And, the high priest knows very well that the father is the kind of person who will pretend to be okay so as not to worry about his daughter who has married to the north.”

The high priest could not refute. That’s True, the Emperor was a man willing to give his life for Lady Roselia and her daughter.

If rumors spread that the Emperor’s body was in trouble, someone would try to make Tahar emperor, so he would pretend it was okay even if he was sick.

‘Her Majesty the Empress, the Duke of Gelon, and the Crown Prince always seek the Emperor’s life and the throne…’

For some reason, The high priest felt grateful when Frey pointed out a part He hadn’t thought of. The High Priestess thanked her for her loyalty to the Emperor.

“As expected, the one who thinks of His Majesty’s safety the most is not me, a loyalist, but His Majesty’s only daughter, your Highness.”

“It’s normal for families to take care of each other.”

It’s not about trying to kill each other and take it away.

Recognizing the meaning behind her words, the High Priestess smiled benevolently.

“If it’s His Majesty’s condition, I’ll take responsibility and check it out and let you know by letter.”

“Thank you. Please be careful not to leak it to others.”

“Haha… When did Lady Frey become so dignified? I am ashamed of myself for being afraid that someone would ask for something because of the sacred tower.”

The high priest stood up from his seat, feeling the warm atmosphere with his whole body.

However, a warning light flashed in His head the moment He saw Frey grinning with half-moon eyes.

It seems that he will witness the moment of defeat soon.

“High Priestess, in fact, I have one more favor to ask of you.”

“….”

“You know, I sold a lot of dresses this season, right? In the process, I used some expedients to reduce taxes.”

“So, a member of the imperial family has evaded taxes…”

“What do you mean evaded taxes? It was a perfectly legitimate tax cut, no problem at all.”

“…”

“Anyway, I’m going to try to fix the bad image I’ve accumulated so far and use the money I’ve saved for a good cause.”

There was no legal problem with putting divine power into the dress and reporting it as armor.

However, Frey was going to use his hands in advance because she could be caught.

“Will you help me?”

“…”

Of course, since he brought up the story of the Sacred Tower, she knew very well that the high priest would not be able to refuse her offer.

“Oh, thank you for your passionate support. I will definitely build a strong sacred tower.”

The magistrate’s office became somewhat distant.

When Frey finished the deal with the high priest and came out, Wiz spoke like navigation.

“Master. We’re going to head to Vikram’s residence now, right? If you want, I can explain the shortest distance to the coachman.”

“Please do so, Wiz.”

Soon the carriages started moving toward the capital’s Fountain Square.

In the past, it was a place where people came to shop to relieve their frustration and resentment but now Frey visits for business.

“This is a new feeling.”

“yes?”

As Frey muttered, Lina, who was sitting next to me, tilted her head. Frey just smiled and pointed at the bag Lina was carrying.

“Lina, I think I will have to get off soon, so can you give it to me?”

“yes. I honestly don’t know if a hat and scarf can cover up the presence of Your Highness.”

Frey braided her hair and hid it under a hat and wrapped a scarf around it. The brim of the hat and the scarf barely concealed who she was. The carriage she rode in wasn’t particularly flashy, so people couldn’t guess who Frey was.

“Wiz, are there people following us?”

“There is nothing except that Grand Duke Prause sent a few knights.”

“Daniel?”

‘By notifying me of where I was going out, I meant that if something happened, I would ask him to come and save me.’

Frey didn’t know Daniel had put someone on before it even happened.

“Well, it’s nice to be protected by His Highness the grand duke.”

Soon the carriage stopped.

Frey headed to the basement of a shabby general store as Vikram and Wiz, who was in charge of contact, guided her.

Moist and cold air. Green moss grew in every crevice of the gray-brown brick.

‘Wow, it’s the same as the game graphics.’

Feeling curious, Frey was snooping around, and a silhouette of a person suddenly appeared in her view.

“Oh, you scared me!”

Shaggy light blue hair and eyes covered with hair. Somehow, the shoes were tipped several times with the clothes a little wrinkled.

‘It’s like looking at my outfit from my previous life. No, my hair was cleaner.’

This gloomy and needy-looking man was Vikram.

“Sorry if I startled you. I feel like I should come out to meet the Highness coming out.”

‘Don’t people usually come out of the building to greet their guests?’

If Frey was an ordinary noble who came to get the savage magic scroll, she would have asked that question, but she stopped asking.

‘Can I convince a person who abandons sociality and sells only things that are plugged in like crazy?’

Krikk-

Vikram told them to come in and took the lead.

Lina and Wiz, who were following Frey, also whispered quickly in voices that only Frey could hear.

“Your Highness, Grand Duchess, is he alright? The eyes I saw briefly through his bangs were full of obsession… ”

“Master. I didn’t know when I contacted him, but when I saw him in person, he seemed like a weird man. He won’t attack us, but those men won’t talk unless it’s something He is interested in.”

‘I know, It’s worse than I thought. I held back what I wanted to say and replied.’

“I think it will be okay if we start a conversation by talking about the Mage Tower.”

It was because if Frey showed concern, Lina and Wiz would sigh as well. She couldn’t disappoint Wiz and Lina, so Frey desperately joined in.

“Vikram. First of all, before we get to the main topic, should we talk about the Mage Tower?”

“No. My number one interest these days aren’t the mage tower.”

That’s very firm. Frey felt embarrassed when he refused at once, so she couldn’t speak for a while.

However, when Frey entered his residence, there was something that caught her eye.

[Research on the Sacred Tower in Prause’s Mansion]

[Raw stones and processing of gems]

[Theories about the Sacred Tower]

The table was full of analytical data on the Sacred Tower as if Vikram himself had organized them. In the middle of the room, there is even a model of the sacred tower that reaches Frey’s eye level.

Vikram’s eyes shook as he hurriedly organized the research materials as if he was embarrassed.

“Your Highness Grand Duchess Frey. You don’t know how happy I was when you first contacted me through the spirit.”

“Yes…?”

“I haven’t been able to sleep for the past few weeks wondering how the Sacred Tower was made…”

Vikram’s blue eyes, visible through his shaggy bangs, sparkled with happiness and excitement.
