Chapter 131: unexpected heartwarming moment
"Leave that one." The princess picked up the green dress and tossed it onto the bed."It won't work for palace ceremonies, despite being beautiful." She took the navy one and placed it in the bag. Then she stopped and tilted her head to one side as if thinking. "I need one more. There should be something to wear outside the ceremonies as well." She walked to the wardrobe and opened it, examining the contents. She looked for a while. "This one." She pulled out a dark grey kaftan and added it to the bag.Throughout the entire process Leo watched the back of the princess's gathered hair and her determined, methodical work.After finishing her own bag the princess moved to Leo's, which was already packed."You've put in two shirts.""That's enough."The princess ignored what Leo said, said nothing, and added four more without comment. She reached up to the box on the shelf, opened it, and pulled out a thin belt."Take this too.""I have belts.""Your formal outfit doesn't have one. I thre
Chapter 132: sorcerer festival
After stepping into the garden and breathing in the fresh air, Leo stretched properly and murmured to himself. "If I keep staying here I'm going to end up falling in love with a damned simulation character and then feel obligated to marry the first person I meet when I get back to the real world."Without further hesitation, Leo wiped the scene he'd just lived from his mind and initiated a time skip. He set the duration to just after arriving in the capital.When Leo opened his eyes again he was in a square.The princess was standing beside him, looking around with eyes full of curiosity. At the same time she had her arm firmly locked through his and was pulling him along behind her.The square was no longer recognizable. Under normal circumstances this was one of the busiest market streets in the kingdom, farmers selling fresh vegetables, fabric merchants, food vendors. But today none of that was here. The stalls were there but the goods on them were completely different. The people
Chapter 133: sorcerer festival II
The princess moved close to Leo and looked at the bundle."The boy looked very young, did what he wrote actually interest you?""Some of it.""Do you think he could become as good a sorcerer as you one day?""I doubt it. But he'll definitely make a good teacher.""Then why don't you invite him to work for you?""First, I don't currently have any plan like a magic school where I'd bring together and train children with talent in sorcery. Second, sorcerers generally don't like working under someone else, because they believe that sorcerers who don't maintain an independent way of thinking can't reach higher levels."The princess thought about this."What do you think about that?""Working under someone else generally isn't a problem, as long as the person you're working for doesn't run you ragged every hour of the day and turn you into an exhausted number.""So is Uncle Maren bad then?""No no, I'm not talking about magic training, I'm talking about being used for simple work. Magic tra
Chapter 134: Maren in festival
Leo had grown tired of browsing the stalls.Most of the enchanted items he had seen were far below his own level.That wasn't to say the festival had offered nothing of value. Walking through it, Leo had come to understand that his level of sorcery was actually not something to be taken lightly across all four kingdoms.He had also noticed the kind of power the great general had at his disposal.During the previous simulation, when Leo had attacked the great general's city, the system summary had described a scene like this: 125 rune sorcerers, most likely all at level four or above, tearing enormous chunks out of the imperial army through spells performed in concert. Had Leo not identified the weak point of those combined sorcerers during that simulation, recognizing that each of them was a vital piece of a single massive spell, the Dark Army could probably have wiped out the entire imperial force without taking a single loss.At the time Leo had killed one of the sorcerers with a si
Chapter 135: misterious sorcerer
Leo pulled the dagger from his bag and held it out. Maren took it, turned it over in his hands, and examined the runes carefully before handing it back."Good choice.""I'm going to make a better one myself. Will you put the magical power into it later?""No problem. Have you thought about my question?""Still thinking.""Alright then."The princess looked at Maren, then at Leo, then back at Maren again."Your master is more famous than I realized," she whispered to Leo."I'm only just realizing it myself."The princess looked at Maren. Maren looked at the princess and lowered his head toward her, briefly but with genuine respect.The princess returned the gesture.The conversations around them were still going, louder than before now, carrying from multiple directions at once."Has anyone ever arrived at this festival with full teleportation before?""Never seen it.""Me neither.""Who's that beside him? He looks very young.""I'm not sure. But he doesn't carry himself like a Rune Lo
Chapter 136: A Choice of Fate
A few minutes after leaving the festival square, Leo and the princess entered a quieter side street that Leo's master had described to him. Compared to the rest of the festival, the street was remarkably peaceful. There were no flashy magic performances, nor were there merchants shouting to attract customers. At the end of the street stood a small stall set up beneath an old, weathered canopy. The old man sitting behind it looked ordinary at first glance. His messy white hair reached his shoulders. Deep wrinkles covered his face. An old scar rested beneath his left eye, and his gray robe was so worn that several sections had been patched together with pieces of different fabrics. Forty small containers were lined up across the table before him. Some were made of glass. Some were ceramic. Others were rusted metal jars. The old man raised his eyes for half a second when he noticed them. Then he returned to the book in his hands. "You obtain whatever fate has in store for you.
Chapter 137: The King's Family Dinner
Leo stared in surprise at the length of the dining table and the countless dishes arranged across it. To be fair, it wasn't the food or even the table itself that surprised him. What truly caught him off guard was the fact that he, his wife sitting to his right, and his master sitting to his left occupied only a tiny portion of the table. The palace dining hall was large yet somehow intimate. When Leo first entered, the size of the table wasn't what drew his attention. It was the number of people gathered around it. The king wasn't the only one present. Leo counted silently. The king sat at the head of the table. The queen was on his right, while the eldest prince sat on his left. In addition, there were two more princes, two married princesses, and all of their spouses. Several children occupied a smaller table placed near the corner, swinging their legs as they whispered among themselves. Maren sat on one side of the king while the eldest prince occupied the other. The elde
Chapter 138: Cyrus come back
Prince Tae had been raising a spoonful of dessert to his lips. The king's words reached him before it got there. He startled, coughed sharply, and caught himself, pressing the back of his hand to his mouth. He lowered the spoon and transferred the dessert to a napkin with the quiet, controlled motion of someone who had been trained never to show surprise. Then he turned to his fiancée beside him and said something in a low voice, brief and direct. Hara rose without a word. She crossed to the children's table, gathered them with calm efficiency, lifted the youngest onto her hip, and guided the rest toward the door alongside two attendants. The children went without protest, perhaps sensing something in the adults that they couldn't yet name. But before following them out, Tae looked at Leo. Then at the princess. It was a short look, no more than a second, but it carried weight that a second shouldn't be able to hold. It wasn't accusation, it wasn't warning, it wasn't pity. It was
Chapter 139: [Simulation complete]
Maren was watching the child, not the images.He stared for a long time. Then he murmured, not to himself but not loudly either, just loud enough for Leo to hear."If he can use this with that level of detail..." He stopped and set his glass down on the table. "This child has already reached my level."Leo heard this and looked at Cyrus. He was about to be surprised again, about to say something, but the king spoke first.His voice had changed.The warmth of the table from moments ago, thirty minutes of memories, the clinking of glasses, the sounds of children. All of it was gone. What remained belonged to someone else, coming from the same face, the same mouth, but belonging to someone else entirely.The king looked at the princess."I called you here because you made my daughter happy." His eyes moved to Leo. "I did not want to destroy you alongside the treacherous general."The room went silent.The princess had frozen. Leo had frozen. Maren was already on his feet.His chair fell

Review complete. The vividness of your memories has been reduced.] Leo leaned back as he read through the system screens and felt a profound sense of relief wash over him. The agony of being crushed to death had been wiped from his memory in an instant.
