"It wasn't a stone-throwing spell???"

Ian was dumbfounded by Carl's explanation.

In fact, the more ridiculous part was that the usually taciturn Carl had suddenly become a chatterbox.

If Herta had seen this, she would've been startled.

What on earth had Ian done to turn that silent Carl into a motormouth?

"Yeah! You reckless idiot!"

Carl was equally appalled by Ian's actions.

Wizard Eredith...

What kind of disciple have you raised!

"But I thought you said to send the stone directly to the baron..."

"I said send it directly, not launch it!"

Isn't that the same thing?

As Carl unleashed a torrent of scolding, Ian finally engaged his meta-cognitive abilities.

"..."

Looking at the pitifully crumbled corner of the distant castle wall...

It seemed like he might have gone too far...

'Was I too harsh?'

But Ian soon felt something like betrayal.

No, Carl. You're supposed to be an exceptional wizard.

Shouldn't you be able to demolish someone else's castle wall as a test??? (No)

"I thought for sure Carl would be able to destroy the wall..."

Carl was once again dumbfounded by Ian's attempt at an excuse or whatever it was.

Just what... kind of thoughts do you have on a daily basis to think demolishing castle walls is normal!!!

Are we at war! You fool!

'Truly, he's a peculiar one...'

Carl thought that Ian was the very stereotype of an [eccentric wizard].

Thinking that such a guy would lead the future of wizardry...

It made him dizzy just imagining it.

'... Why are you so damn good at earth magic!'

Moreover, the guy had beautifully succeeded in earth magic.

In short...

A capable oddball.

A terrifyingly dangerous type of human...

Unaware of Carl's thoughts, Ian spoke nonchalantly.

"I guess we should go apologize to the baron."

"..."

'Do you think the baron will accept your apology?'

Carl was genuinely curious, but.

To avoid provoking Ian any further (...), he reverted to his taciturn Carl mode.

Baron's proxy.

Theo of Gremlin let out a deep sigh.

The reason he came to be the baron's proxy in Vincents' barony was simply due to his father's orders.

Theo was a sort of steward sent by Count Gremlin. Someone who wasn't the owner of the land but was entrusted with its management.

Count Gremlin was a man who enjoyed political schemes and liked to make his vassals compete for the position of Baron Vincents.

Everyone knew that Theo would never become Baron Vincents.

So Theo could perform his duties as baron's proxy lightly, feeling as if he were truly managing someone else's land.

But recently, a problem had arisen.

"My lord..."

"Yes, my love."

Theo's local lover in Vincents' barony.

The black-haired Karenne whispered from the bed.

"My lord, I... I can't take it anymore."

'Is she asking to get married?'

Theo frowned.

Even if he cared for and liked Karenne, she was just a local lover he had casually taken up.

She wasn't a woman he loved sincerely enough to give the position of countess.

"I, I want to have your child..."

"Enough! Karenne. I'd like you to leave my room."

"My lord...?"

As soon as he heard the words he least wanted to hear, Theo immediately kicked Karenne out.

Karenne was nothing more than a pastime companion.

"Are you kicking me out right now?"

"You guessed correctly. Yes. Disappear from my sight."

"... You're being too cruel."

It's your attitude that's too cruel, Theo thought to himself.

You're just a commoner with no abilities, yet you think you can snatch up the position of countess just because we slept together a few times?

"You said you loved me!"

"I did then. But not anymore."

"..."

"You've crossed a line you shouldn't have. Leave my castle while I'm still asking nicely. If you keep resisting, you'll see a terrifying sight."

Karenne fell to her knees.

She looked up at Theo with a plaintive gaze.

"My lord... Please..."

"I told you to disappear, didn't I?"

But Theo completely ignored Karenne's gaze.

What do you think you'll accomplish by begging, you commoner?

There was absolutely no chance that Theo's heart would change and he'd take her as his wife.

"This is your final warning. Get out of my room."

"..."

Karenne bowed her head deeply.

Theo thought she was despairing and shedding tears.

Even if she cried her eyes out, it wouldn't change his mind.

"Ah. F*ck."

"...?"

"You f*cking bastard, you're going too far. Tsk."

"... Karenne?"

However, the words that spilled from Karenne's mouth... weren't pitiful pleas.

They were rough curses that could rival a mercenary's.

"Hey. Theo. Can't I just like you a bit?"

"???"

"After all that sucking and f*cking, now you tell me to f*ck off when I want to have a kid. You son of a b*tch."

"Karenne. You're now..."

"[Twist!]"

Surprisingly, a skilled magic language tumbled from Karenne's mouth.

Even more surprisingly.

In response to Karenne's magic, Theo's important area began to twist like a pretzel...

"Aaaaargh!"

Theo screamed in terror.

But the twisting didn't stop.

His important area, which was being wrung out like a wet rag, eventually started dripping bright red blood.

Theo foamed at the mouth as he experienced the shocking pain.

"[Stop.]"

Karenne stopped her magic.

Theo, drenched in cold sweat, stared at his 'ex' lover before him.

Karenne wasn't just a maid who had entered the castle.

She was a wizard.

"You are... you are...!"

"The jig is up. F*ck. You acted like a bastard first. So I'm acting like a bastard too. No complaints, right?"

Theo, looking at his blood-soaked lower body, nodded as if entranced.

Theo didn't know, but Karenne was a skilled transmutation wizard.

A wizard who could twist and transform things was precisely a transmutation wizard.

There was an unwritten rule in transmutation that [transmutation should never be applied to the human body].

However, Karenne completely ignored such rules and.

She had become a terrifying wizard capable of twisting people like pretzels.

"Cute little Theo. We need to do something together."

"A, a job?"

Karenne covered Theo's lips with her own.

After a deep kiss, Karenne spoke languidly.

"Don't worry too much, honey. Just catch one wizard for me."

"... A wizard?"

Theo couldn't understand Karenne's request.

Suddenly asking him to catch a wizard?

However, whether Theo grasped the situation or not wasn't particularly important.

Theo didn't have a choice anyway.

Theo swallowed hard as he looked at his bloodied lower body.

"F*ck. You know how pissed off I was earlier? I almost ripped your thing off."

"..."

"But I'll forgive you. What's important is our future, right? So, let's just get through this job safely."

Karenne looked at Theo with a sultry smile.

At that moment, Theo sensed it.

He would never be able to escape from this woman's clutches...

After Karenne revealed her identity, Theo became her puppet.

To others, nothing seemed different from before.

Baron's proxy Theo, and his lover Karenne.

But Karenne was a wizard who could tear Theo's body apart with a single word, and Theo could never disobey her orders.

"... Haa."

Theo sighed so deeply it seemed the ground might cave in.

It didn't feel like living even though he was alive.

When the wizard named Inglan came to visit, Theo detained him on Karenne's orders.

Theo didn't know why or for what reason Karenne captured Inglan.

But people believed that Theo had captured him out of anger at Inglan's arrogant attitude.

That rumor spread far and wide...

And brought a group of no less than five wizards to the domain.

It was enough to drive him insane.

If it weren't for Karenne's threats, Theo would have released Inglan when the wizards sternly warned him.

But Theo stubbornly refused to release Inglan and...

As a result, the enraged wizards left, huffing and puffing with an "We'll see about this!" attitude.

If things continued like this, Theo was surely doomed.

Soon, the angry wizards would turn the domain into a wasteland...

But if he released Inglan?

Theo was equally doomed.

Karenne would shatter his body to pieces.

It was then, as Theo was lost in his worries.

Kwaaang!

"Wh-what's going on!"

A thunderous sound struck the castle, shaking the very foundations.

Theo was so startled he even stuttered.

Soon, a servant came running in a fluster to report.

Like Theo, he wore an expression of complete shock.

"A wizard... a wizard...!"

"A wizard?!"

The servant shed a tear and prostrated himself on the ground.

"A wizard has destroyed our castle wall with magic!"

"..."

Theo forgot his dignity and gaped.

Good heavens... Those mad wizards...

They've finally done it!

Theo immediately rushed to the scene.

"What in the world..."

And he was at a loss for words.

Indeed, the castle wall had been struck by a huge boulder and was caved in!

F*ck, is this the Crusades or what! Right now!

Knights, soldiers, and even farmers dropped their work and rushed to see the demolished castle wall.

The power of magic they witnessed in person was beyond imagination.

"Is this... magic?"

It's not for nothing that wizards are called 'gods of the battlefield'.

The presence of an outstanding wizard can be powerful enough to turn the tide of war itself.

Theo felt dizzy.

What other reason could there be for a wizard to destroy a castle wall with magic?

It's clearly a message saying they'll crush us like this from now on!

"My, my lord!"

"What is it now..."

"A wizard is coming this way!"

It was true.

A black-haired wizard was approaching.

A wizard with a crow on his shoulder.

Ian Eredith Raven stared blankly at the collapsed castle wall...

'Is he admiring his own handiwork?!'

That wizard.

He must be observing how spectacularly he smashed it.

"It seems to have crumbled a bit too much."

Ian said impassively.

Theo felt a chilling sensation run down his spine.

Those insensitive eyes!

Does this wizard have no human emotions!

Ian bowed his head and apologized.

... At the same time, an automatic translator whirred in Theo's mind.

"I'm sorry, Baron."

[It's me, you f*cker.]

"I didn't intend to, but somehow I ended up breaking the castle wall."

[Of course I broke it on purpose. Keep b*tching and I'll crack your skull like this too.]

"I'll take responsibility and fix the broken wall."

[If you really whine about fixing it, your house is next.]

"But before that, I'd appreciate it if you could release Professor Inglan quickly."

[So hand over Inglan quickly, you bastard.]

"Well then, I'm busy so I'll be going."

[Well then, I'm busy so I'll be going.]

Ian turned his back coldly.

But no one could blame or curse Ian.

He was a wizard who brought natural disasters with him...

'That crazy wizard... is threatening to destroy our house next!'

Theo looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes.

His only wish was for Karenne, or anyone really, to quickly resolve this situation.
