I Became a Different World Gravity Wizard - I Became a Different World Gravity Wizard chapter 84

84 – Rumors

The hands of the party stopped eating.

Then I slowly turn my head to look at me and Claire standing next to me.

But I didn’t have the time to worry about the eyes of those people.

It was because of Claire staring at me right next to me.

I braided her hair lightly in a ponytail because it was annoying to tidy up her hair every day, but she is so incredibly beautiful that most people wouldn’t even dare to show her her business card.

Moreover, Claire herself does not seem interested in becoming the next emperor, but she is one of the candidates for the next emperor.

She couldn’t help but be embarrassed when she proposed to me without hesitation.

“Excuse me, could you say that again?”

Yes. Maybe I misunderstood her.

The whole party stopped eating and looked at me?

It’s just that she, who had been sitting silently from the beginning, suddenly came towards me and looked at me with interest.

But what came back was a more certain marriage proposal than before.

“I like you. Fun. Marry me.”

Could there be a more perfect proposal than this?

She shut her mouth for a moment. I looked at her without saying a word.

Of course, it’s not that she doesn’t like her.

In the first place, she is also a beauty, and isn’t she one of the emperor’s daughters?

You can marry someone who can become the next emperor.

But.

There is no reason why I should marry Claire.

Not even a day has passed since I met her in the first place.

She just got a little interested in me talking to the elf.

So I politely declined her marriage proposal, citing a reasonable reason.

“Sorry. I cannot marry Claire-sama.”

“Why?”

Claire looked at me with a look on her face, as if she hadn’t expected me in the slightest to say no.

“I am already engaged to someone.”

And I showed her her ring which was put on her finger.

An engagement ring with a blue gem that Chloe gave to everyone at the ball.

As it was her fiancé in terms of form, she had no choice but to receive it, but she never imagined that she would be able to use it at such an appropriate timing.

“…… Engagement ring.”

Claire stared blankly at the engagement ring on my hand.

To be precise, I was looking at the blue gem embedded in the ring.

No matter how uninterested she is in the world, she will notice how expensive this large jewel in the ring is now.

And this ring really knows I have an engagement.

“Who is the opponent?”

“This is Chloe Krafden.”

“She was the daughter of the Krafdon family… …. Then, you must be the next duke….”

At Chloe’s words, she shut her mouth for a moment as if she was lost in thought for a moment.

She then slowly opened her mouth, which she had been closing, as if she had finished her thoughts.

“… Certainly, even if I were a princess, I would fall short compared to a duke.”

I couldn’t say anything to her.

Claire is the emperor’s daughter. She

She is the one who has qualified to be the next emperor.

I never expected her to say that she was not good enough for her duke.

But what Claire said was not entirely wrong.

No matter how much she is called a princess, she is not interested in becoming the next emperor.

In that case, it was clear that the other brothers would naturally become the next emperor, and she would naturally be weeded out.

Of course, she’s not particularly interested in power, so she’s not someone who would care too much if she was weeded out. It’s clear that she’d rather go unnoticed by people and she’ll want it.

But if you ask who is more influential, the girl who was later culled or Claire who became her duke, she would pick Chloe out of ten.

That’s why Claire explained that she lacked a lot compared to Chloe, who was to become a duke.

She shut her mouth again, and she shut her mouth, more thoughtfully than before.

And the others also looked at me and Claire, forgetting to catch her breath as to how she would react.

Claire’s eyes opened.

She looked at me with a slightly determined face and opened her mouth.

“…… Then, will I become the next emperor?”

“…… !”

And when she announced that she would become the next emperor, the eyes of those in the seat opened wide.

But in a situation where everyone was surprised, the person who was most surprised was, of course, the princess, Helena.

She looked back and forth between me and Claire, eyes wide open.

However, Claire didn’t seem to care about her gaze, and turned her head and spoke to her butler, who was sweating coldly.

“Tell your father and sister. I will also participate in the emperor candidate.”

At the words of Claire, who officially declared that she would become the next emperor, the butler swallowed dryly and lowered her head.

“…… All right. Princess Claire.”

The butler left the room with the most calm expression and the moment the door was closed, the sound of his footsteps echoed through the hallway as if he ran quickly into the hallway.

Normally, running around in the imperial family was a very disrespectful act and deserved criticism, but none of them reprimanded the butler.

Jerbug. That buck

And while everyone stopped eating as if time had stopped, Claire turned his head and walked back to her seat.

The food had already cooled down and tasted bad, but she enjoyed cooking with a more satisfied face than ever before.

Rumors began to spread quickly, and Claire’s name was mentioned throughout the center as well as the imperial family.

“Did you hear that rumor?”

“What rumors?”

A man with a shaggy beard who was drinking in a quiet restaurant in the center opened her mouth.

“Do you know who the candidate for the next emperor is?”

“Of course not! The eldest daughter, Lady Sophia, and the third daughter, Lady Helena.”

“Heh heh. Look at this guy Can you do business because rumors are so slow?”

It was quite offensive to the merchant that rumors were slow, but the man, curious about what the man was saying, sipped his drink and opened his mouth.

“So, did you say the declaration that one of the candidates for emperor gave up his seat?”

“No. Rather, the opposite.”

“Against… ? That means…….”

Looking at the man who realized something, the man raised his eyebrows.

“That’s what you’re thinking right now.”

“You mean Lady Claire, who had no interest in the position of emperor, participated in the nomination for the next emperor!?”

“Heh heh. Aren’t there a lot of people who listen to it with a little bit of volume? Hmm…. Well, are you okay? Rumors must have already spread to all other continents, not to mention the center.”

The man looked at his man in disbelief.

He calmly lifts the glass in front of him and lightly empties it.

And since her man had never lied, he had no choice but to believe her man’s words.

“You can’t believe that Lady Claire participated in the nomination for the next emperor……. Do you know what kind of change of heart caused it?”

“A. This man If I knew that, I wouldn’t be doing business in a place like this.”

“Well, that is true.”

The man wanted to know the reason, but the man didn’t seem to know the reason, so he lightly poured a drink into his glass and sipped it.

Then he lifted the bottle to pour another drink.

But he seemed to have finished his drink while talking, and all I could see was an empty bottle on the table.

Confirming that the drink was low, the man did not order a drink, but looked up at his man.

And then he opened his mouth in a quieter voice than before.

“Have you heard rumors that elves have been found in your midst?”

“Of course not. This man Do you know that I am as slow at spreading rumors as you are?”

“hahahaha. Then you must know what happened to those elves.”

“…… !”

At the man’s question, the man’s small eyes widened.

The man also knew that the elves were found in the center, but he didn’t know how.

The man raised her head and looked at the man.

But the man smiled silently and pointed his chin at the empty glass.

Merchant must know the flow in order to survive in the bloody market.

“Tsk.”

The man clicked her tongue lightly and raised her hand to order her drink.

“Here’s a nice bottle of alcohol… ….”

Thump!

But before her man’s spell was finished, a man in a black robe appeared and set down a bottle or two of liquor on her table.

Sake that looks quite expensive at first glance.

The man wearing the robe immediately pulled out the stopper and poured the drink into the man and the man’s glasses.

Then, looking at her man, he spoke in a relaxed voice.

“Can I hear the rumors too?”

“hahahaha! Of course. He treats you to such good drinks, so of course I should let you know.”

The man immediately drank the glass poured by the stranger.

“Kuhh! After all, good alcohol is different from passing it down your throat.”

And after pouring the drink he brought back into the glass, the man slowly opened his mouth.

“I heard that the elves who appeared in the center recently were captured by Lady Helena this time.”

“You mean Lady Helena captured the elf?”

The man looked at him with eyes that she couldn’t believe.

“That’s right. How surprised I was when I first heard that!”

The man let out a sneer and sipped his glass.

And when the man’s glass was empty, a man wearing a robe lifted a bottle and poured it into his glass.

Drinking a refilled glass, the man cleared his throat lightly, then opened his mouth in a low voice so that the people around him could not hear.

“And they say the elf is now imprisoned in the basement of the imperial family.”

“Did you hear the rumors from someone you trust?”

“Of course not! I can assure you that the rumors are not false.”

He turned his head and took one look at the man, then gave a brief nod and stood up.

And put down some silver coins on the table.

“Thanks for the good information. Let’s have a snack with this.”

“Khehehe. I am truly grateful.”

With that said, he immediately left the store.

The man who had been running the streets for a while moved his feet to a place where there were no people.

Then, as if he had known in advance that he would appear here, a figure wearing the same robe emerged from the darkness.

“Did you get any good information?”

The man nodded at the gender-indistinguishable androgynous voice.

“They say the elves are now imprisoned in the basement of the imperial family.”

“Then I’ll have to move my feet to kidnap them. Have you thought about when you will invade the imperial family?”

“Let’s start now.”

He nodded at the man’s words, and the others hiding in the darkness began to appear one by one.

And he immediately moved his feet toward the unlit imperial mansion.
