Fostering the Male Lead

ive up his life if necessary.

‘You don’t need to do that.’

I did save his life out of generosity, but everything that followed was carefully planned by me.
When he decided to become Nanabi’s disciple, I made the decision to become his backer, both for myself and for the benefit of the Katzel family.
Additionally, in the original novel, Eugene developed the same ability for purification magic as Liliana did when he was her apprentice.
As a result, he was worth anticipating.
Despite the fact that his teacher had changed, his setting as a genius did not change, so there was a possibility that he might be able to use other magical abilities.

‘Moreover, he’s someone who the Master of the Wizard Tower values.
It would be a waste if I did not take advantage of this opportunity.’

If he could possess the power of purification, it would be highly beneficial to Sihael, and if not, he could become the Katzel family’s exclusive wizard.
On my side, there was nothing to lose.

“For now, follow Nanabi’s advice and strive hard to become a wonderful wizard for the Katzels.”

“I’ll definitely do my best.”

The more I saw him act honestly, swiftly, and deftly, the better I felt.
Failing to get Liliana was like a wound to the heart, but I took some solace in the fact that I had succeeded in getting Eugene by my side.
After my brief talk with Eugene had concluded, Nanabi, who had just finished tidying up, sat down across from me.

“Milady, what brought you here?”

“I came here to ask about Liliana.
Did you obtain any information concerning her whereabouts?”

“We sadly still haven’t made any progress.”

I’d come here hoping she’d have some information on her, but Nanabi, too, appeared to have nothing.
Nanabi sighed loudly, as if frustrated.

“If I can obtain even a faint trace, I can use it to locate her.
But it’s impossible because there is no trace of her anywhere.”

The words that flowed out of her mouth were pessimistic and dismal.
In the meantime, Eugene brought tea and placed the cup in front of me and Nanabi.
When I caught a glimpse of Eugene’s slender wrists poking out from beneath his long sleeves, my mouth dropped open.
A bracelet adorned with lilies dangled from his wrist.

‘Liliana…!’

I jumped to my feet halfway up and snatched Eugene’s wrist.
Eugene stumbled because I couldn’t manage my strength in a hurry.

“Where did you get this?”

“Huh? What? This bracelet? Someone was handing it out to the villagers, telling them that it would be beneficial to their health if they wore it.
That’s when I got it, too… Is there anything wrong, Milady?”

“Did that person happen to be a woman?”

“Though that person was dressed in robes, their voice was unmistakably feminine.”

Ha, here I was having a hard time finding you, but you had not only entered the Duchy but also managed to evade all the surveillance systems!
