At the training grounds, the sounds of weapons clashing and heated voices were in full swing.

Approaching there, Kashar and Third Commander Obsid were sparring in a large field.

‘There’s a big difference in physique.’

Obsid, like a mine, a giant hybrid, was somehow more than three times the size of Kashar.

Moreover, his skin was gray, making him look like a solid rock.

But contrary to my thoughts, the cheers erupting from various places already seemed to anticipate the outcome.

“The commander doesn’t yield to the lord?”

“Geez, a mine who doesn’t know how to give up!”

The giant hybrids shouted towards Obsid.
The Third Commander, who was fixing his sword in no time, shouted at them.

“Whose side are you on?!”

“Ugh, of course, we’re on the Commander’s side!”

But Obsid didn’t even have time to turn his head.

Swish!

With a fierce sound, Obsid’s sword was thrust into a pile of snow.

A sharp sword was hanging dangerously around his neck.

“Look at that.”

“As usual today.”

It was such a momentary event that there was nothing to see but the result.

Before I knew it, his gaze was on me.

Following the Lord’s gaze, the eyes of the mine knights turned to me.

“Lady-in-waiting!”

“Welcome! It’s the Lord’s victory today too!”

The knights greeted me with excitement.

“Accept it!”

One of them handed me a towel and water.

I accepted it and headed towards Kashar.

“Here.”

As I approached, I felt warmth from him.

Upon closer inspection, there were no eyes around him.

When the body moved, the inherent magic naturally moved.

As he watched me silently, he took the water bottle and tilted his head back.

“Did you come out of a cave?”

Kashar treated lazy me like a winter-sleeping rabbit.

“It’s not a cave, just a bit tired.”

“I liked it.”

“What?”

“It’s good to watch you sleep.”

With those words, I remembered his face that looked at me every time I opened my eyes.

Embarrassed, I closed my mouth, and before I knew it, the hand that had reached out was coiled around my waist.

“Let’s disband now.”

He lowered his head while leaving the knights.

“I have to go wash.”

“Uh, can I go too?”

A low murmur invaded my ears.

At my words, he let out a deflated laugh.

“Since you’ve come out of the cave, help a bit more.”

With those words, I was fascinated again.

At the end of my awakening, there was a bathtub.

So, the whole day disappeared.

“From today, I have to move around a bit and live.”

Being eaten all at once should only happen once or twice.

I woke up late in the morning and found myself in the dining room.

The only one beside me was Kashar; the children and Michael were nowhere to be seen.

Looking at his face, I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten.

“Oh, Kashar. It’s about the hunting competition. We have to go, will you participate?”

If no one from our side participates, it’s better for me.

‘Just go and wait a bit, and when you come back, you can just put a crown on the winner’s head.’

Putting down the glass he was drinking, he said.

“I have to participate. Because I can’t stand seeing you put it on someone else.”

“Okay.”

Looking at his dangerous eyes, it seemed like it wouldn’t be good to mention the idea of just congratulating.

When I was quietly accepting it, a guest appeared.

“Oh, right, there was a winter hunt, right?”

“Freesia?”

I didn’t know when she came in, but Freesia was coming into the dining room. Behind her was Mikhail.

She caught any servant and started talking.
“I’ll take my breakfast, too. How about Mikhail?”

“…I’ll eat.”

It seemed like the brunch members had increased for some reason.

After a while, Freesia neatly cut the omelet in half and started eating it diligently.

Today, as always, there was a slight redness under her beautiful eyes.

“Did you have a tiring day?”

“Don’t even mention it. Roasting in the Matab, I thought I was going to die. Right, Mikhail?”

When Freesia asked Mikhail, he nodded as well.

High-level wizards belonging to the Matab go to the Matab every five years to verify their magic.

It seems like it was just recently.

“As soon as I returned from the tower, letters poured in again. Eilin probably received three times more than me.”

“Letters? I didn’t receive any.”

“I received them and burned them.”

With Kashar’s kind response, everyone lost words.

“Well… you can read them if you want. They’re all letters asking when they’ll be released. Letters pestering about when they’ll be released, all about carbonated drinks and ramen.”

“Oh.”

Listening to Freesia, I immediately understood.

Since the socializing days, I could understand the letter ceremony as well.

“Well, it’s only been three days. But it’s better to supply them quickly. Illegal trade has already started.”

“For how much?”

“For a package of instant noodles, it’s more than 2 carats of diamonds.”

It was a dizzying price.

“Make sure to stop illegal transactions here.”

“Please do. If not, a can of soda will be the value of a mansion.”

Everyone agreed with Freesia’s opinion.

“Thank you. I’ll… think about the supply a bit more.”

As Freesia said, it hadn’t been long since the Geon-guk Festival ended.

Just wait a bit more, then.

Anyway, the loyalty of customers wouldn’t change in just a few days.

“I’ll count on you in the future, Freesia.”

“Leave it to me.”

I decided to supply Freesia with some ramen and carbonated products at the top of her head.

‘Freesia has some quirks, and the price is to be paid not in money but in debt.’

I had prepared it in advance, thinking that I might need her help as a grand sorceress someday.

With that, I stood up from my seat.
