I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart

pen.

“Duke Hardland and his wife have had a wonderful child.
I can’t believe you’re asking such a question?”

Even by the standards of an Archmage who was called a genius, this seems to be a very unusual case.

It’s been a long time since I was six years old, so I didn’t have good standards.
The six-year-old next to me was more childish than his age, so there was no comparison.

“Yes, Euseniel.”

The Archmage, who had now even removed the title ‘Miss’, was sparkling in his eyes.

“The point is magic.
For example, Mount Guana is famous as a region with a lot of magical power from generation to generation.”

I nodded in affirmation.
Magic was a very important element in this world, and it was the energy necessary to sustain human life.
This means that everyone was born with it by default.

If you were born with a lot of magical power, you could become a wizard or a sword master.

Mount Guana was a mountain near the islands and was famous for being shrouded in mystery.
The mountain was covered with so much magical power that there was even a saying that this mountain itself was made of magical power.

Thanks to that, it was impossible to enter unless someone possessed a certain level of magical power.

“This magical power is special.
It’s not just a magical driving force.”

Shaking his head slowly, the Archmage continued explaining.

“The ways in which you can use your magic power are endless.
Just like there are many types of magic.
One of the ways to use magic is to open the door to this world and another world.”

My heart was pounding

“Unfortunately, it is not known how to open the door.
The angel came down to earth, right? It was possible because she was an angel, Euseniel.
No matter how hard people try, they can’t figure it out.
It was as if God had blocked it.”

So, you mean there’s no way for me to know?

As if I was overtly disappointed in my face, the Archmage smiled and opened his mouth as if to give another hint.

“The connection to the other world must be known to non-human beings.
In ancient times a dragon, and a god far away—”

“-The devil?”

Tess, who had been quiet, asked abruptly.

“Does the devil know?”

For a moment, silence fell in the room.
After a while, the Archmage spoke with a serious face as if warning.

“Your Highness, such ominous words are not to be spoken of.
The devil is a vicious creature that charms humans with sweet words.
You must not put it in your mouth, nor even think of approaching it.”

Tess’s expression turned strange.

“Our Northern Empire does not have a religion officially established by the state, but most believe in Lux, the God of Light.
According to Lux, the devil is something to be shunned.”

Lux, the God of Light, had a great influence on the continent and was the state religion of the Southern Empire.

Although the Northern and Southern Empires have different tendencies, they were not on the bad side.
And even in the Northern Empire, they believed in the God of Light for quite some time.

Perhaps because of the cold climate of the Northern Empire, the people have a warlike and gloomy temperament.

Still, more than 80% of the people of the Empire believe in the God of Light, but it was strange that it had not yet been recognized as a state religion.
Even if they tried to designate it as the state religion, it failed every time.

“Of course, even if it’s not Lux’s words, the devil is something that destroys humans, so we should stay away from it.”

“Does the Archmage also believe in the God of Light?”

Hearing that most wizards do not believe in gods, I asked quietly, but again, the Archmage shook his head.

“I don’t believe it, but other than that, I have to be careful of the devil.”

“Hmm… I see.
But is the God of Light in another world still watching us?”

Secretly, when I brought up the topic of another world that had been cut off earlier, the Archmage laughed.
He must have noticed my intentions.

“Holhol, Euseniel.
If you are curious about the other world, why not just ask your mother? Isn’t she an elf?”

Hmm?

“Elves live in the human world, but aren’t elves’ best friends with the fairies? And the fairy world inhabited by fairies is not the closest different world to humans.”

Huh?

“How they got into the human world is unknown.”

The clues were so close?

“I hope I can clear up any questions you have, Euseniel.
So today’s class ends with this.
If Euseniel likes it, you can come to class from now on.”

“Yes! I will definitely come!”

Hoho, no one will stop me from coming to this class now.
I’m curious about moving between worlds, but I was also curious about magic.
