Chapter 34
M-my name is Anessa Nizzet . I , I am is the sole daugther of an Earl household of the Azolias kingdom .
My age . . . is eighteeen . Right now, I am still studying in the Azolias kingdom"s Magic School . . .
Senior year of the Enchantment Magic cla.s.s .
I live at, the school dormitory . . . My school life . . . is, not really that, fun .
. . . My friend, is , none .
The reason, I can already guess, . . . probably, it"s due to the three reasons below . . .
First, its . . . my magical apt.i.tude . It"s not really high . . . but, I have two sorcery traits .
Perhaps, those who learned a bit about magic will know about it . But by the characteristic of their sorcery trait, their hair and eye color will change depending on their sorcery .
Futhermore . . . the base color of the Nizzet household is gold and eyecolour is ashen grey .
Just like this, the paler the base colour, the stronger the sorcery color will come to surface .
If I only have the water sorcery apt.i.tude just like my father, then , my hair . . . will become beautifully glittering with, gradation of gold and blue .
My sorcery colour is [ black ] and [ deep blue ]
The result, these two colors mashed up together over my hair and eyes: my hair ended up in a gloomy gradation of those two color and my eyes became a dull deep blue, the colour of the depth of the sea .
Since I was a little kid, I have an inferiority complex with this eye colour of mine . So I grow my hair "till it covers my face . And so, I was deemed as a weirdo who never showed their eyes to others .
. . . this is the first reason .
The next one, is something in relation with one of my sorcery traits, which is the [ sorcery trait of curse ]
. . .
Just by that name, you will think this sorcery as some evil-like sorcery , ri, right ?
Actually, it"s not really different from enchantment magic . . .
Enchancing the target"s body power . . . and giving minus effect . . . to the opponent or monster . . . Something like that . . .
The only difference that this sorcery trait has is . . . that I am able to evoke the magic without using the proper aria of the said enchantment magic . . . and [ using a special short chant to evoke the magic ] instead . . .
Since there is not really that much difference with enchantement magic, the effect of this sorcery trait is not really apparent . So there"re not many sorcerers who research upon this kind of sorcery . Thus, with just the impression that came from the name of [ sorcery trait of curse], many of sorcerers misunderstood that this sorcery trait is something that"s dangerous .
Of course, the student of this magic school, too . . .
This is . . . the second reason . . .
And the last one . . .
[ Nizzet-san, Annesa Nizzet-san? ]
[Ah . . . Ye, yes . . . ? ]
[ You still haven"t submitted your report about the unknown magic spot that was due last week . . . I wonder what happened ?]
[ Ah, yes . . . I "m sorry . . . I forgot . . . to submit , it . . . I will, submit it, this after, noon . . . kuhihi . . . ]
[ Ah, is that so . Please submit it as fast as possible, "kay? . . . ]
. . . I know . I know that teacher who talked to me in the corridor just, just now, didn"t think well about me . . . I can sense
sense that he thought of me as eerie, with the slight fear from his body . . . This is because of the second sorcery trait that I possess . . . [ sorcery trait of psycological sensor] . . .
Just like how its name said, this sorcery allows me to roughly perceive the opponent"s emotion and feelings . . .
Because of that, I know about it, the impression that everyone has towards me the first time we met are the first two reasons-disgust and hate .
Because of that, naturally, . . . I ended up taking a distance from everyone around me . . . .
And so, I don"t have any friends . Even at this age, I still don"t have any fiancee . . .
I have already given up . I have accepted that I will live alone, forever .
. . . I already gave up, or so I thought .
Until father told me about my marriage interview .
[ Anessa ! The date of your marriage interview is already decided ! It"ll be held this week . . . and to your surprise, your partner will be the eldest son of the Ractos, Jake Ractos-kun ! ]
[ Hah . . . eh ? ]
[ Waah ! That"s a relief . Right, anessa ?! ]
As I arrived to my house from the dorm for summer vacation, honoured father happily said so to me .
And honoured mother is also happy hearing this news .
Marriage interview . . . for me ?
Rurthermore, the partner is . . . it"s lie right ? Jake Ractos-sama ?
The grandson of the [ Sorcery King of the Dusk ], that [ Incarnation of the Devil Snake ] ?
. . . I can only think of this as some kind of a mistake .
Jake-sama is someone that"s so famous that every person who studies magic will know of his name whenever they"re from the Azolias kingdom or not .
One of the only two users of the [ sorcery trait of the shadow] that"s alive and ever confirmed .
Furthermore, he"s the eldest of an Azolias" Duke
Azolias" Duke household . . . the next head of the duke house .
. . . though there"re several dark rumours surrouding him, there"s no other fault that I can find in him . . .
In other words, I think he"s someone that"s fit to be called as a supreme object .
If I have to add, I heard from honoured father that all of those rumours are only baseless rumours . . .
Why did such person become the candidate for my marriage . . .
And so, I asked honoured father about it and then he explained the details to me .
Telling it in short . . . from what i heard, Jake-sama seems to be in the same circ.u.mstance as me . And so, he still doesn"t have anyone as candidate for fiancee .
Just a little bit, I felt some kind of intimacy with him .
. . . . . . However . . .
[ Yaah~ With this, our household will be fine . Well, although Anessa will become the bride of that house . In our household, the house name is just a secondary thing . . . As long as you are able to succeed the sorcerer"s blood, then there will be no problems . If you guys will do your best to make lotd of descendants, in the end, there will be someone who will take over the Nizzet household, right ! ] - Sir Nizzet
[ That"s true! . . . Even if that didn"t happen, the kid that"s born between the father that possess the sorcery trait of shadow and a mother who possess several sorcery traits ! ! What should we do if there"s a Sorcery King born from the blood of the Nizzet household ! ? ] - Madam Nizzet
[ Ah, umm . . . Father, Mother . . . Why, suddenly such . . . ]
[ Ooh ! that"s true . Sorcery trait and magic apt.i.tude will not always be inherited to their child . So its not really good to expect too much right now . . . But! As longBut! As long as there"s a kid who will diligently continue the magical experiment that our house has done for generations, then it"s already an extremly joyous thing ! ! ] - Madam Nizzet
[ N, no . . . Not about that . . . Why are you guys . . . already having a talk with the premise that I will, ma ,marry . . . and have kids . . . Why ? ]
[ It"s gonna be alright ! Though Annesa usually acts like, umm , like that . . . But as long as we gave you a little bit of make up, Annesa will surely become a beauty ! ! That"s right . First, we need to do something about that hair . And make it so that you are showing your face . . . Ah, I also have to prepare a dress that is suited for Annesa, right ! ! The one that is totally pretty ! ! ]
[ No, wait ! My dear wife, just wait a moment ! . . . I think that Jake-kun will prefer someone who has moderate looks rather than those who dress up gawdily . . . Let"s make Annesa wear a dress robe, taking into account that our household is a sorcerer family . How about it ! ?]
[ Good . . . That"s a really nice idea ! Then a magic stone brooch instead the one that"s made with a gem ! ! Aah, it"s gonna be busy ! ! ]
Aah . . . I felt like they"ve left me behind, alone, and is advancing their conversation by their own will . . .
But even so, Jake-sama . . . huh
If we"re in the same situation . . . Perhaps, even someone like, me . . . .
As I thought that, I realize that I have actually still not totally gave up the future where I can live together with someone else . . .
That"s why . . . perhaps, I should also be doing my best, maybe . . . ?
