Limit Breaking Genius Mage Chapter 255

Episode 255 Coronation (3)

The people of King Esnoren were busy moving about.

It was the biggest event of all time, so we didn't even have time to talk to each other.

Even in such times, for fear of being criticized, I was always careful about how I dressed and did not forget my manners.

Of course, I relaxed in places where other people's eyes were not on me.

“Oh my, it’s my turn to be in charge until today of all days. What kind of trouble have I been through?”

The maid gasped for breath.

The place she arrived was the royal tower.

The distance was quite far, and my lungs were pounding because I had run in a hurry.

I wish I could rest a little longer, but unfortunately there is someone waiting.

A terrifying being who has the power to cut off her head with a single word.

The maid, who had just wiped away the sweat, opened the iron bars and opened the door.

There was a princess named Silis in the room.

As expected, it was just as I had laid it on the bed last night.

It's obvious that the position is uncomfortable, but it's a doll, not a person, so of course it can't move. It's impossible to even complain.

It is said that if stimulated strongly, a seizure occurs inside the body, and in severe cases, the heart stops, but it has never reacted to this extent.

“Then I will take you.”

I roughly put Silis in the wheelchair.

Ddukdukduk. She crossed the deserted hallway roughly, without any respect. Only when she saw someone did she take the time to adjust her posture.

Then we headed to the royal dressing room.

Experts who had been waiting in advance dressed up Silis in gorgeous clothes and makeup. There was a royal order to dress up as much as possible for the event.

Afterwards, when we went outside, the royal carriages were lined up and waiting.

“I have brought His Majesty the King as you instructed.”

“From now on, I will take care of you, so step aside.”

The maid bowed deeply.

Prime Minister Palorand brought the First Prince in a wheelchair. He too was just getting dressed in his coronation attire.

Valgna glanced at Silis, rubbing his chin.

"hmm……."

That wasn't the way to look at a half-sibling.

It was like the eyes of an appraiser and seller who assesses the value of an item.

“Is there anything else you need to fix? Even though his mind is empty, at least his appearance is worthy of a member of the royal family. Let’s burn him quickly.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Silus was loaded into the carriage in the back row in his wheelchair.

Valgnado, who had been watching him, also stepped forward. Proudly waving the mantle with the kingdom's symbol, he boarded the most luxurious central carriage.

Hehehehe───!

A muscular horse puts strength into its legs.

The royal guard knights and court magicians escorting him. Today's main characters headed to the square of the royal capital, Letia.

* * *

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Verden, who had safely broken through the seal, galloped across the high sky.

Once again, his speed, which had been wrapped around three halos, had long since reached its peak.

Counting the days, I was flying for about two days without any rest, as it was a tight schedule to arrive at the coronation on time.

Still, I didn't feel any particular fatigue.

It is because he has become a semi-transcendent being, and his body itself has surpassed human limitations.

Well, even if that weren't the case, I could easily endure this level of forced march.

He had an abundance of magical power, and he had also been training his physical strength steadily. Verden was a prepared magician.

By the way.

'For some reason the sky is calm.'

The closer you get to the capital, the more this happens.

It could simply be my mood, but I knew that something big was going to happen in the capital, so I couldn't just let it go.

Verden was lost in thought.

'The power and performance of a witch's magic is difficult to predict.'

Sealing of the entire Loafra.

And even moved the identity of the dark merchant group.

I could guess that it wasn't an instantaneous form of magic.

Since Silis said that he had planned all of this, it was obvious that he had made some preparations in advance.

But that's not really anything to look at.

The important thing is that it is different in type and nature from the hierarchical magic that Verden knows.

'The administrator said so. When analyzed magically, the peculiar trait was part of the magic.'

And Silis is not just a simple trait holder.

She is capable of using magic that only those of the witch bloodline can use. In other words, it would be fair to say that Silis is a magician.

More dangerous than the existing magicians.

But one question could not be shaken off.

'Can Silis really handle Leonil?'

6th-tier flame wizard, Leonil the Mad Flame.

Although I have never met him directly, I am indirectly aware of his outstanding magical abilities.

Not only did he easily subdue the Guardian Elf Karans, he is also said to be the strongest in the Kingdom of Estyria.

Even Verden is not in a position to be dealt with lightly.

In addition, as the leader of the court magicians, he will likely possess all sorts of magical items. He may even possess artifacts.

'Unlike the manager.'

It was decided that it would be difficult to easily rule out Leonil, no matter how unusual his special traits were inherited and how he used the artifacts related to them.

Verden is skeptical.

And there was one more thing that could be problematic.

'The witch's heart that Leonil possesses.'

Since Verden dealt with Grond, Leonil was unable to obtain the bearer of the special trait, and thus could not complete the experiment.

But it is not an absolute proposition.

Leonil is a mad wizard who has lost his humanity and has been experimenting on humans for a long time. He must end his life without giving himself a chance at victory.

Because you never know what a cornered guy might do. The situation might unfold in an unexpected direction.

'You'll find out when you get there.'

Verden focused on flying.

Now the king has almost reached Letia.

* * *

The day of the coronation has arrived.

Until recently, there had been a turbulent atmosphere due to the aftermath of the undead incident and civil war, but today was different.

The streets of the royal capital were bustling with people and full of life.

“Hot cheese and smoked pork sandwiches for sale! Add a drink, and today only 660 elk!”

“Mom, I want to eat that!”

“Okay, okay. After we eat, let’s go get some ice cream.”

“Wow! Dad, look over there! Over there! It’s the knights!”

Families are enjoying the liveliness as they stroll down the street.

There were a few people who started a commotion along the way, but when the guards came out, they shut their mouths and quietly disappeared.

Although unpleasant incidents do occur occasionally because there are so many people, it is much better than the previous ominous atmosphere.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At that moment, the floor of the royal capital shook.

Knights wearing identical armor and holding swords are opening the way. Their heavy footsteps seem to resonate in my heart.

As if the ocean was splitting apart, the middle of the street suddenly became empty.

Above them, carriages bearing the royal emblem appear.

The royal guard of knights in gold-plated armor stood guard, court wizards watched over the surrounding area, and a fleet of royal airships occupied the high skies.

"and……."

It was truly spectacular.

Everyone expressed their admiration as if they had made a promise.

Finally the carriage stopped.

The knights lined up, moving in perfect unison without a single error. Valgna stepped into the center of the square, where a majestic atmosphere flowed.

Is it because of the clothes you are wearing? Or is it because you are qualified?

Now he has shed his princely air and is showing off his true royal side.

“As expected. What a truly noble sight.”

“A kingdom ruled by His Majesty the King. The future is promising.”

“Since you are a person who cares for people, my life will become better than before.”

Most people welcomed Valgna.

Public opinion was formed because of the designer Nellita. Also, discontent was building up due to the various misfortunes that had occurred in the kingdom.

It is only natural that a crown be placed on Valgna's head at a time like this, in itself, creates new expectations.

A wide platform set up in the square.

Valgna, who had climbed the stairs, sat down with her chin raised. One by one, Leonil, the Duke of Northramd, the Chancellor, and other important figures filled the empty seats.

Finally, Princess Silis showed her face.

Her eyes were dead as she sat in the wheelchair, but perhaps that was why her platinum hair, reflecting the sunlight, looked even more dazzling.

“That person is, that, the doll princess……?”

"her……."

The citizens just opened their mouths.

I've only heard about it through rumors, but this is my first time seeing it in person.

“I never knew you were this beautiful.”

“I agree with you.”

I immediately understood why it was called a doll.

Even more attention was drawn to the still, motionless figure.

'Huh. You're just following what you see, like a goblin.'

Valgna felt uncomfortable with the situation where Silis became the main character. However, he didn't show it and just let it go.

After that, the princess's body was sold for a high price through a political marriage.

In order to increase its value, it was necessary to attract public attention.

With this, all the seats on the stage were filled.

As is traditional, the prime minister is in charge of conducting the coronation ceremony.

Chancellor Palorand unfurled an old parchment that had been passed down through the royal family.

“I now hold the coronation of Valgna Bain di Estiria, the first prince of the Royal House of Estiria.”

The royal band created an intimidating atmosphere.

A heavy, majestic, and creepy background sound was everywhere.

Next, the vizier recited the virtues of the Estyrian royal family.

After a full fifteen minutes of recitation, the conclusion was reached. The prime minister quietly put the parchment away and looked at Valgna.

“Balgna Bane di Estiria, kneel before me.”

This is the procedure required to receive the crown.

Valgna, standing in the center of the stage, knelt on one knee. Immediately afterwards, the Marquis of Esperenza came walking alone from afar with the same stride.

Thud, thud.

The Marquis holds a purple cushion in each hand, covered with a cloth made by the royal family. Inside it lies a crown for Valrgna.

'Ha, finally.'

Valgna's body trembled involuntarily.

My heart started pounding as I imagined the sight of a crown being placed on my head.

Even the Marquis of Esperance is the pinnacle of neutral nobility.

It was significant in every way that he, and no one else, was crowned and recognized as king.

'As expected from neutral nobles.'

It's usually annoying and irritating, but it's very useful in times like this.

Moreover, the other neutral nobles are even keeping a check on the Duke of Devon, who holds a grudge against Valgna, in case something happens.

'You are loyal to the kingdom, not the royal family?'

Yes, continue to live like that.

Because I have benefited greatly from it, and it will continue to do so in the future.

'I am the kingdom soon.'

I almost laughed at the stupid antics of the neutral nobles.

What kind of expression would he make if he were to laugh at the Marquis who crowned him? Valgna thought pleasantly as she waited for a short while.

That moment.

Kugugugugugugu───!

Waves began to form on the outskirts of the capital.

It seemed like the knights were stamping their feet like before, but it had nothing to do with the coronation ceremony.

Because everyone, including Valgna, the Chancellor, and Leonil, could not hide their confusion.

“What is this… What is this?!”

Kwaaaaaaaah!

A rainbow of light bursts forth from the walls.

At regular intervals, dozens of pillars of magical power surrounded the entire capital, their ends piercing through the clouds.

“Ha, the sky…….”

The sky is changing.

A purple twilight, a mixture of light and darkness, covered the entire capital. Everyone was speechless at the unexpected phenomenon.

'What is this phenomenon?'

Leonie sharpened his eyes to assess the situation.

However, with his knowledge, he could not figure out what that sky was, except that it was a magical phenomenon.

“Oh, Luas, oh, Luas!”

“Mommyyyyyy!”

“Whoa! Don’t push!”

The confusion begins to grow.

The soldiers tried to calm them down, but it was difficult to stop the people from commotion. It was only after the knights stepped in that things finally calmed down.

But it was only a matter of time before the uproar broke out again.

Valgna chewed his lips.

'I don't know what it is, but we need to deal with it quickly.'

Before the much-anticipated coronation goes awry.

It was also his turn to demonstrate his abilities as a king. As the determined prince was about to give orders, a shadow of a person appeared.

"……uh?"

The Marquis of Esperance passed by.

The way she walks, as if she doesn't care about the sky dyed in lavender or Valgna, the main character of the coronation.

His eyes, filled with bewilderment, followed him blankly.

The bearer of the crown approached Silis.

“Marquis? What are you doing there now?”

“…….”

Instead of answering, the Marquis lifted the cloth.

There was no custom-made Valgna crown on the cushion. Instead, there were only grotesque, sinister thorns protruding from it.

'A crown made of thorns…?'

Valgna blinked.

I was dazed by a situation that made no sense at all.

The Marquis held the crown of thorns in his hand with a cold expression.

Then he stretched out both arms towards Silis, who had lost his wits. Before anyone could stop him, the crown of thorns was placed on Silis' head.

“Your Majesty, the time has come.”

When? When? What time?

At that moment of doubt, ripples appeared in Valgna's eyes.

Silis, who has lived as a doll for decades.

She moved on her own and raised her head.
