In response to Belia’s words, Havisa opened her eyes wide, uncrossed her legs, and looked at Belia, tilting her head. She was in a defensive posture.

“…How do you know that?”

Her voice was completely different from before.

It was heavy, sharp, and filled with tension.

The Bracelet of Protection was only just now completed as a prototype. Yet, how did an outsider know about it and come to demand it?

Havisa narrowed her eyes.

“I’m in a hurry now too. I don’t have time to wait for it to be revealed to the world.”

If it had been her original plan, she would have approached when Belia presented it to the world.

However, there was not much time left until Khalid left.

“Explain how you know that I created this.”

No one in the mausoleum knew this fact. So, there was no way she heard it from someone else. Did she perhaps watch her create it from a distance?

Havisa glanced around her room.

No particular magical devices could be felt.

“I heard there are some who can move around in an incorporeal form… Is that you?”

Havisa asked, seemingly unable to comprehend.

“No, that’s just a story that occasionally appears in novels.”

Even though the atmosphere was serious, Belia burst into laughter at that remark.

Havisa was puzzled by how Belia could know, and it seemed completely unexpected to her.

It was understandable.

She didn’t hear it from anyone, nor did she spy on her situation. She simply knew from memories of her past life.

“I haven’t even decided to name it the Bracelet of Protection.”

Being a magician immersed in the pursuit of truth and research, Havisa began analyzing the situation.

Then Belia spoke meaningfully.

“Havisa, aren’t you curious about how I know about you?”

However, Havisa, who was deep in thought, found Belia’s words more perplexing and mumbled as if inquiring about her identity.

“Huh? Um… Am I somewhat famous? There have been quite a few people coming to find me lately. Even more recently.”

…Famous?

Was she? It didn’t seem like it.

Belia was bewildered, and her pupils shook.

“What? You came to me without even knowing my abilities?”

Havisa, perhaps reading disbelief in Belia’s expression, rather than questioning how she knew about the Bracelet of Protection, began to divert the conversation in another direction.

“I’m one of the rising stars at the mausoleum, you know? There are quite a few people coming to me these days! Everything I develop sells like hotcakes!”

Even though Havisa passionately spoke about how capable she was, she sighed deeply and leaned back on the sofa.

“…Then what? You didn’t even hear about my reputation. How on earth do you know about and come to me?”

Her words lacked strength.

Belia, who had considered herself somewhat famous, felt her energy drain away when confronted with someone who seemingly had no knowledge about her.

“I saw it in a dream. You making the Bracelet of Protection.”

“Haha. That’s refreshing.”

Havisa carefully examined Belia.

At first, she thought of her as just another noblewoman.

But somehow, her face seemed quite familiar…

Now that she thought about it, she had seen other magicians in the mausoleum looking at a portrait of her.

“…Princess?”

Only then did Havisa recognize the identity of the person in front of her. Even though she had no interest in her surroundings, Havisa, who was aware of how famous Belia was in the empire, felt embarrassed.

“First of all, forgive my rudeness. I didn’t know it was you, Princess.”

Scratching her cheek, Havisa stammered as she realized how renowned Belia was.
“……Before I show you the bracelet.”

Havisa looked at Belia with a clear gaze.

“Princess, no, Vision now. You need to explain what it means that the Vision saw it in a dream.”

Belia nodded in response to her words.

Then, she spoke with a bit more seriousness and weight.

“First, what I’m about to say now is because I believe that you are a true magician who seeks the truth of the world.”

“Of course! Where is a magician like me!”

Havisa proudly pounded her chest.

A true magician.

The tone suited her liking.

“…The you I saw in my dream recently created something called the Bracelet of Protection. It operates with the power of a mana stone, creating a protective barrier based on the size of the mana stone’s power.”

Havisa’s mouth hung open in amazement at Belia’s calm explanation.

“I know it’s hard to believe. But I don’t have time right now, and the moment I need that bracelet has come. Please, hand over the Bracelet of Protection.”

“…But I haven’t even tested it yet, so it might not work.”

Not true.

Because Havisa had said from the beginning that it was a perfect success.

She was truly a talented genius magician.

“It’s okay. The you I saw in the dream created a successful one.”

With Belia’s firm words, Havisa began to feel strangely uplifted. It was as if her words acknowledged her present self, whether it was a dream or not.

“Ahaha… Well, even if I say so myself, it doesn’t seem like it’ll fail… Haha.”

“So, hand it over to me.”

Then she quickly added.
