The Absolute Twin Magician

Yelena Benedia

The identity of the three who are our clients was quite surprising to us. How not? Who would have thought that that person was a royal princess and two magical army magnates?

"T-mister princess?!" Shouted Elie and Liana in shock.

Well, I was pretty shocked too but it didn't make me yell hysterically like Elie.

"Hey Aleesha, is she really the princess?" I asked Aleesha.

"H-hey Zayn, where's your manners?! She is the Princess of Voracity! Although I don't know for sure, but she's definitely a princess, right?!" Shouted Elie reprimanding me.

"Even to the upper class nobles your attitude is still like this huh? I don't know what else to react to ...." Aleesha. Hughess just laughed in the back.

"Hey, I'm just making sure. Although like this I also have manners," I reply. "Only, I can't believe that the princess of this kingdom is secretly asking us for help."

"Yes ... I'm curious about that too." This time Hughess commented.

Answering our curiosity, the girl who claimed to be the Princess of the Voracity kingdom raised her voice.

"I'm sure you'll all be astonished and asked for an explanation, which is why we came here. But before, was it okay to scream like that? What if someone hears?" Ask.

"I-I was pretty shocked too. It would be bad if anyone heard that the princess was here." The girl named Estelle, the vice-chairman.

"Just relax, this room is soundproof. There is also magic to protect this place. You could say, this place is the safest place in the city of Voracity, in my opinion," Aleesha replied confidently.

And sure enough, this entire room was isolated by magic. This magic blocked all the sounds and air of our existence from outsiders. It is not wrong to consider this room to be the safest place to convey confidential information.

"That's so ... To be honest, I almost hung up when the girl screamed. But if it's like that there won't be a problem" said Selene, the head of the witch's army.

"Then, shouldn't we sit down and talk about everything, Princess?" Ask Aleesha.

"Well, I think it should be."

I hate formal conversations like this. Can we just get the conversation to its core instead of lingering with these useless formalities?

The princess was then welcome to sit in one of the seats, opposite Aleesha and Hughess as representatives of the Magic Association. Me, Elie and Liana stood behind them while listening to all their conversations.

"Alright, then let me introduce myself once more. My name is Yelena Benedia, the youngest daughter of the Voracity kingdom, and the caretaker of the royal witch army recently formed by my father, Charles Zeno Benedia as a form of anticipation for demonic attacks that are increasingly common in this kingdom."

"Then, my name is Aleesha Macrovic, a not-so-famous ironworker in the city of Voracity. As you have heard, I am the messenger of the Magic Assosiation who is in charge of observing the movements of the demons in this kingdom."

"Yes, I heard it. Or rather, you told me yourself."

"That's so ... So this isn't a direct request from the Princess, but you offered to help yourself, Aleesha?"

Hearing Hughess' question, Aleesha smiled in satisfaction.

"That's right, but I didn't do this without a second thought. I've long observed all your actions and personalities, your majesty." Aleesha. "It is rare to find nobles who do not look at your status in this kingdom. Plus, you seem to have long opposed hostility to witches, especially regarding the Zean Endarker matter."

My attention was instantly drawn.

Why did Aleesha suddenly talk about my father, Zean Endarker? Not to mention he said that this Princess was against something about father. My curiosity reappeared.

"What are you saying, Aleesha?" My toot. I really became curious.

"As I said, this princess is a little different from other members of the royal family. When his brother accused Mr. Zean and the others of being traitors, he thought otherwise." Answer Aleesha.

"Hoo, quite interesting," said Hughess.

Feeling a little disturbed by my treatment that cut their conversation just like that, the princess then rebuked us.

"Pwp ... If you may know, what is your relationship with Mr Zean? I've never met him, but it seems you're pretty close to him." Ask the Princess. It seemed that his mind was sharp enough to realize such a thing.

I glanced at Aleesha, as if asking if I could answer her question. And Aleesha instantly noticed it.

"I'm sorry, I think you should get to know them too. Then let me introduce them" Aleesha said with a small smile.

The Princess's face looked astonished, as if asking why she did not immediately answer her question. But he quickly nodded and obeyed Aleesha's words.

"Hughess Greensword, Magic Knight no 11 of The Alchemist" Aleesha pointed to Hughess. The three of them were shocked when they heard Hughess' name. "You must have heard his name, but I hope you all ignore his fugitive status. Because it's just a very bad misunderstanding on the part of the kingdom."

"B-good ... It's not a big deal anyway. At the moment our relationship is not good with the Redstone kingdom, considering they are reluctant to give us help."

"B-noble? There are even nobles in Magic Assosiation?" This time the woman named Estelle was astonished.

"I'm not too surprised, from the beginning I had expected that there were at least a few nobles there. Otherwise how could they get so much secret information on each kingdom?" Said Selene, the leader of the witch squad.

"And this one, like Liliana, he's also the Bluelagoon noble who just joined us." Aleesha this time pointed towards Elie.

"My name is Elizabeth Bathory, Magic Knight no 15 the Stalwart. Nice to meet you, your Highness Princess Yelena." And now Elie by herself introduced herself while looking down, showing her pride as a noble.

"It's good to see you too, Elizabeth Bathory, "Princess Princess.

"And lastly, it seems that you are a little curious about his relationship with Mr. Zean."

"Yes ... Looking at his expression as you mentioned Mr. Zean's name, I draw such a conclusion. Is it maybe just my fault?"

"No no, you're not wrong" Aleesha replied. He then looked towards me. "Magic Knight No 13, The Monster Zayn Endarker. He's Zean Endarker's son."

"Eh?! Master Zean's son?!"

As expected, they were immediately shocked when they found out about it. It was as if they had just met a figure they were very idolized by. It's a little amused for me to be treated like that, but this time I think it's okay. I want to know more about this anyway.

"He's a year younger than you, but by his nature, maybe he won't use formal language even on a princess like you—

"Don't say no, I also have manners!"

"Are those words from someone who has manners? And again saying her in front of the princess, you're this really yeah ...."

"Ugh, leave that aside, wouldn't we rather move on to our main topic?" I said, but at once I remembered something. "Ah, before that don't forget to explain what happened to my father. I heard the princess is against my father's traitor, right?"

"Ah, yes ... I had never met him because I was not born at the time. At first, just like my other brothers, I took it as a betrayal. But as time went on, I finally found out the true events, and the reason why he left the kingdom. Making such excuses a betrayal is absurd. After all, from the beginning it was because of the anti-magic laws that used to be applied they all left this kingdom. Therefore, I oppose it very much. But who would have thought that my father and brothers rejected him outright. They reasoned that I was too small to understand this matter. That's why I kept it alone."

"Well, that doesn't make sense" I said. "Then, how could the ban on magic be lifted, and this army of witches be created?"

"That's because of my proposal. To be honest, this is the first time my proposal has been accepted by a father who is now getting older. When I reported about the attack of the devil on the North coast, and how it resulted, I immediately proposed about it. And strangely, the proposal was immediately accepted and I was appointed as the manager of the force."

"Most of us are not from this city, and some are even immigrants outside the kingdom. Because of the princess' dream of realizing a kingdom that is safe and comfortable for everyone, we all dedicate our lives to her." Connect Estelle.

"Then, why are you paying attention to witches?" Ask Elie.

"That's because ... I was born with talent."

"Talent?" My toot.

"That talent is another branch of magic. Arguably, talent is a special magic that only certain people have, and it appears from birth. Like Tony who has a talent for gravity since birth. And unlike ordinary magic, talent cannot be passed on in any way" Hughess explained.

That, is it possible like Kayn's Transmutation and Insomnia magic? No matter how much effort I put in, I couldn't learn Kayn's Insomnia magic, and vice versa. Plus, we gain this power without training or anything, as if this power has become ourselves.

In that case, does that mean that this Princess master is also a witch?

"I have a high-level healing magic talent, Recovery. This power came out when I was 7 years old. From then on, I understood that this was magic and always hid it. As of now, I still haven't told my family about this."

Wow, a great choice for a 7 year old. It seemed like she was indeed a genius from birth, this princess.

"But ... There was actually a strange thing when I begged my father to ask you guys for help, Magic Assosiation," said the princess.

"What's that?"

"At that time, my father muttered something as if he was agitated," said the princess with a slightly worried look.

"Murmuring? What's he muttering?" My toot.

"... Mr. Zoldic will definitely not forgive him ..." said the princess cirih. "That's what he muttered"

"Zoldic?!"

Instantly Hughess and Aleesha were surprised, as if this figure named Zoldic should not appear at times like this.

"Who is Zoldic?"

Aleesha looked at me with a confused look.

"How come you don't know him, Zayn. Zoldic, the user of black magic and forbidden magic," Aleesha said. "Blue demon king, Zoldic."
