Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent - Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent chapter 190

190 – Decision

A silence so heavy as to be oppressive fell.

“Um….”

Princess Diana, who is said to be the true master of the blood demons, was currently dozing off while sitting on her throne. Thanks to this, Maiev waiting in front of her was dying.

But the reason is not boredom, but pain.

Maiev was bleeding from her nose. It’s already been 30 hours since I’ve been standing here waiting. It was no wonder that she had always received Diana’s energy directly from her side.

In the end, the secretary who was by her side broke the silence first.

“Princess.”

“Umm…. Hmm?”

“Quite a bit of time has passed. Slowly….”

“Ah.”

Diana finally woke up, shaking her head. By the time she opened her sleepy eyes the first time, the second time she straightened her sitting posture, and the third time she shook her head, she seemed to be a completely different person.

The secretary continued calmly.

“I think a decision will be needed. Plan’s growth is unusual, and our side is suffering quite a bit of damage. .”

“Damage?”

“Yes. Although the executives survived, they were not without damage. The status of blood demons….”

“Ah, that’s enough.”

Diana waved her hands to her sides as if she didn’t need to hear any more.

“It’s foolish to talk about status.”

The princess’s eyes became clearer.

“Yes, no matter how you think about it, it’s a stupid thing to do.”

“Yes?”

“Tyra.”

Tyra. It was the secretary’s name. The secretary who called her name immediately bowed her head politely.

“Have you ever been afraid of humans?”

“I can assure you that there has never been a moment like that.”

“What about the elves in the center of the continent? “What about the beast of the outskirts?”

“No matter what you mention, I will answer the same. “The only thing I fear and follow is the princess.”

“That’s right. “I guess so too.”

“Yes. But why suddenly….”

“Flow.”

Diana lifted the wine glass that was placed to the right of her throne. The transparent glass was half filled with fresh blood, not wine.

“You have to follow the flow, Tyra.”

As the princess taps the throne with her fingertips, a light falls into the void. A very large map soon appeared there.

“Let’s see it together.”

As Diana gently shook her glass, the blood contained in it began to move freely and paint on the map.

“Berkel, Great Forest, Academy.”

Diana, who was drawing a line on the continent as if dividing her meat parts, stopped her actions for a moment. Blinking her eyes a couple of times to clear her thoughts, she painted her blood again.

“Okay. Should the Magic Tower be marked now? “Magic Tower.”

After finishing writing this and that, Diana held her glass as if she was satisfied. The princess’s smile was reflected in the blood.

“hehehehe. “It’s worth watching.”

“Princess?”

“Tyra.”

“Yes.”

“Look. “Things just got so interesting.”

What came into the secretary’s field of vision was the border line that the princess had drawn to separate the continents.

“Knights were dominant in the human world, but Flan greatly increased the influence of magic. Yes?”

“Yes. “The influence is still growing.”

“But the knights won’t sit still, so there will come a point when the confrontation becomes quite tense. Then a different method of expansion is needed….”

The secretary nodded quietly.

“The magic tower occupies the corner of the street. “It will be easier to interact with other races, and our power will grow.”

“That’s it.”

Diana nodded.

“This is precisely why I said that status is not important. There is a limit to brainwashing people into being handsome and noble. “What matters is how much power you have.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“How strong is it, how wide is the distribution of power…” . Let’s look into it. “What do you think will happen if we take over the Academy and the Magic Tower now?”

“Ah, I guess I can absorb the momentum. “It could cover the continent very quickly.”

“No, no…. Tyra.”

The princess sipped the liquid in her glass.

“That’s the idea of focusing on what’s nearby. “We have to look very far away.”

“I was short-thinking.”

“Think about it, Tyra. “Flan shows clear conviction in any situation, and he is a guy who is not tied down to anything.”

“….”

“What would happen if a guy like that took the lead and cried out for emptiness? We will win the hearts of others. Sometimes, the heart is harder to obtain than life. Is not it?”

“Sure…. “It seems so.”

“If the guy who turned the world upside down turns his grace into the void, we can cover the continent without shedding a single drop of blood. “It’s easy.”

Diana sipped the fresh blood contained in the glass.

“Flan, this is a guy I’m really looking forward to. Maybe we can really make him come.”

“….”

The secretary quietly observed Diana’s thoughts. Before I knew it, the princess was showing a bewildering look in her eyes.

“But princess, I cannot fathom how to make Flan loyal to the Void. As you said, he has very strong convictions….”

“I’ll tell you how to do that now.”

The princess put down her glass and slowly extended her index finger. And he quietly points to Maiev.

“Maiev. “You are the key.”

“… Maiev is the key?”

“Yes.”

A goosebumps flowed from Diana’s face as she smiled meaningfully.

From noble mtl dot com

“I’ll leave it to Maiev first.”

The secretary still did not completely understand the princess’s intentions. However, it seemed as if Diana would not add her kind explanation, and simply threw her dagger at Maiev’s feet.

“… !”

Maiev’s eyes widened.

“This…” .”

What lies at her feet is the dagger used by the princess. It was a treasure so precious and precious that no one else was even allowed to hold it in their hands.

Diana gave Maiev a look.

“Maiev, there is no need to approach Flan and bother stabbing him. All you have to do is make contact with the blade. “It’s not difficult, right?”

“This dagger….”

“「Rest」, A dagger that gives the blessing of the void.”

Maiev pursed her lips quietly. After thinking for a while, she managed to ask back.

“If I fail….”

“I will lead the entire army and advance to the continent. “At that time, we have no choice but to crush them thoroughly in the simplest way possible.”

The secretary intervened in an urgent voice.

“Princess, such an important matter to Maiev…” !”

But the princess’s eyes were still focused on Maiev. It was as if those eyes pierced everything about Maiev.

Princess Diana spoke quietly.

“And one more thing. If you fail, your brother will be discarded without mercy. “I will pull out your heart in front of you.”

“….”

“You know why I’m entrusting you with this mission, right?”

How much do you know? Maiev wanted to ask the princess, but she couldn’t. No, maybe she seemed like the princess already knew everything.

“….”

Maiev picked up her dagger and remained silent for a moment.

Many thoughts pass through my mind. The days with Flan, the days in the void, my younger brother…. Numerous things appear to overlap and become jumbled and tangled.

But she soon made a decision.

No, I had no choice but to get off.

“… I know.”

Fritz estate.

As expected, it took exactly one day to recover.

“Okay then.”

“Plan…. You always give only grace to the territory. How do we repay this….”

“There is no need.”

Plan firmly dismissed the head maid’s words.

“Never mind. “Because it was for my own benefit.”

“No matter what….”

The maid, who was trying to express her gratitude, ended up bowing her head out of politeness. Because on Flan’s face, as always, she had only sincerity.

“Hey, Plan, then it’s shameless…” .”

Instead, the maid Jang carefully brought out her other request.

“Please take care of our lady as well.”

“Trixie?”

“Yes. It seems like the lady is paying all attention to Plan these days….”

“I’ll do my best to teach you.”

“Something else. Yes?”

“Chief maid!”

However, the head maid’s request was soon stopped by Trixie’s cries. With an expression that rarely broke Trixie’s composure, she scolded the maid.

“It’s making strange noises, go inside.”

“Ah, lady. No, matriarch… !”

Flan didn’t even pay attention to the head maid who was pushed away from him. After a while, Trixie returned to Flann’s side and said,

“The recent situation in the territory has been unpredictable. “Perhaps because everyone is tired, there has been a lot of nonsense.”

“Was there such a situation?”

“Yeah, but….”

Suddenly, Trixie’s face turns slightly red.

“… It means teaching to the best of your ability. Protect.”

“Let’s do that.”

Flan’s eyes quietly turned to the outside of the territory.

The goals that were abstract after coming to this world are now quite clear. The gemstones buried in the mud gradually began to take shape and be refined.

So always, tomorrow will be better than today.

“Let’s go to the academy.”

“Yes.”

“Yes!”

Trixie and Becky catch up behind Flann.

“What are we going to do?”

Immediately after arriving at the dormitory, I looked at the object in front of me with a dumbfounded expression.

“Maiev.”

Maiev.

She was standing quietly waiting for me.
