Isa’s Little Thoughts

Looking at the magic crystal Her Highness Su Ran presented to her, Isa shook her head.

“This Flying Magic… I can’t accept it.”

Su Ran’s eyes held a hint of inquiry at being rejected.

This was the first time Isa had refused him.

He wanted to know her reason for doing so.

“Can you tell me why?”

Su Ran did not want to force Isa to do something she didn’t want to do.

After all, he was facing a living, breathing person, not a machine that obeyed his commands.

Understanding the other’s thoughts was equally important to Su Ran.

“Your Highness, generally speaking, Flying Magic must consume a great deal of magic essence. It’s better to let Philly, who is closer to Sequence Six, learn it so she can use it quickly. Besides, I am by Your Highness’s side. There will surely be no shortage of magic suitable for me in the future.”

Su Ran did not refute the reason Isa gave.

Based on his understanding of Isa, if he were to forcibly command her to learn it, she would absolutely not defy his order.

But he had always treated Isa as an equal, not as some high-and-mighty Witch Highness.

“Your Highness, can it be given to Philly to use?”

Seeing that the Witch Highness in the light did not speak, Isa asked again.

Just as Isa’s voice fell, a few soft chuckles came from within the light, “Isa, I have already given you this Flying Magic. How you dispose of it is your problem.”

Hearing Her Highness Su Ran’s words, the expression on Isa’s face changed from cloudy to clear, glowing with a vibrant color.

“Then, Miss Philly, this Flying Magic will be entrusted to you to learn.”

With that, Isa handed the magic crystal in her hand to Philly.

The flowing luster within the crystal faintly formed the pattern of wings, waiting for the materialization of the absorbed knowledge.

“Re…ally, you’re giving it to me?”

The crystal containing Flying Magic was placed right in front of her.

One had to know, if this Flying Magic were put out in the world, it would be enough to cause many people to fight over it.

Yet, Isa was actually giving it to her.

Philly suddenly felt as if she were in a dream, unable to believe that this magic would end up in her hands.

Therefore, she asked Isa again to confirm.

“Of course. If Miss Philly doesn’t want it, I can use it later.”

The hand holding the magic crystal feigned a withdrawal, which made Philly anxious at once.

She quickly said, “I want it, I want it! I want it!”

Philly’s nervous performance made Isa and Su Ran unable to help but let out a few soft chuckles.

This made Philly, who had just taken the crystal, feel her face grow slightly hot.

“Alright, once Philly has learned the Elven Wings from the magic crystal, we will set off for the vicinity of Laita City.”

Seeing Philly find a place and press the crystal to her brow, Su Ran happened to go and check the skill descriptions to see how many usable spells he had on hand.

After bringing a cup of tea for Her Highness Su Ran from the kitchen, Isa secretly glanced at Her Highness Su Ran.

Seeing that her attention was not on her, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Rejecting Her Highness Su Ran’s arrangement for the first time, Isa’s heart was still nervous.

Even now, her heart was still pounding.

Even after she had returned the tray to the kitchen, fine beads of sweat still appeared on her forehead.

‘Thankfully, Her Highness Su Ran didn’t say anything about my reason for giving the magic crystal to Miss Philly.’

Isa’s reason for refusing the Flying Magic was definitely not just the one she had just given.

There was another reason hidden in her heart that she had not said.

Faced with Flying Magic, it must be admitted that Isa was also very tempted.

But there was something more important than Flying Magic that had already occupied her heart.

Therefore, when she needed to make a choice, Isa was able to refuse without hesitation.

“If I learn Flying Magic, then I won’t be able to be held by Her Highness Su Ran and fly in the sky.”

The words spoken unintentionally startled Isa, and she looked around nervously.

Seeing that Her Highness Su Ran was not looking at the kitchen, and that Miss Philly was seriously absorbing the knowledge, and that no one had noticed her true thoughts, only then did Isa’s anxious heart calm down.

For Isa, Flying Magic was not as important as Her Highness Su Ran’s fragrant and soft embrace.

Learning Flying Magic meant she would have to fly independently, and the opportunities for intimate contact with Her Highness Su Ran would become fewer.

In Isa’s view, this was definitely not a worthwhile trade.

Even if Flying Magic was rare, it couldn’t compare to Her Highness Su Ran’s embrace!

Given a Sequence Four’s spiritual power, Philly’s speed of absorbing the magic crystal was not slow.

The hot tea Isa had brought out had just cooled.

Philly, who had finished absorbing the knowledge from the crystal, opened her eyes.

“Your Highness Su Ran, I have mastered Elven Wings.”

“Good, then let’s set off!”

Philly’s voice pulled Su Ran, who had been focused on looking at the magic effects, back to the present.

He nodded in response.

During this time, Su Ran had familiarized himself with all the usable magic he had on hand.

The rest would require practical combat to deepen his impression.

When Su Ran announced their departure, a soft and delicate jade body naturally burrowed into his embrace, pressing against his body.

Isa, wearing her witch set, looked up at Her Witch Highness, who was looking down at her, and blinked her watery, glistening eyes with an innocent look, “Your Highness, I think it’s safer in the front.”

Not long after, in the sky a few kilometers away from Laita City, two figures flew past.

It was Isa, who had gotten her wish to be held by Her Witch Highness, and Philly, who had mastered Elven Wings.

Philly now looked at the figure in front of her with a bit more reverence in her eyes.

She hadn’t expected Her Highness Su Ran to be able to produce such a rare Flying Magic.

The sky could be said to be the home ground of a Sequence Six.

Now, she actually had the chance to set foot on this home ground.

This showed how precious Flying Magic was.

Most importantly, the magic crystal that recorded Elven Wings could also be used by others to master the magic through learning.

Philly had learned this news upon returning the crystal.

‘I just don’t know why Miss Isa seems a bit unhappy.’

Without thinking too much about it, Philly now looked back at the wings on her own body.

If it weren’t for the Elven Wings that had appeared on her back, so real right before her eyes, she wouldn’t believe this opportunity was like a pie falling from the sky.

Elven Wings imitated the wings of elves through magic essence, flapping in the air and consuming the magic essence in her body at every moment.

If Philly hadn’t entered Sequence Four, she might not have been able to sustain the magic’s consumption.

Although her flying speed couldn’t compare to a Sequence Six, it allowed her to truly fly freely in the sky, which made Philly feel very satisfied.

“Philly.”

“Your Highness, what is it?”

Hearing Her Highness Su Ran call her name, Philly followed her movement and gradually descended.

This place was not far from Laita City.

Nearby, there were many reserve forces for the beast tide, heading towards Laita City.

“I’ve sensed that the magical beasts in this area are all around Sequence Two, which is more suitable for Isa’s practical combat. I’ll have to trouble you to help me protect Isa. The area around Laita City now is no longer suitable for you to go to.”

As soon as Su Ran’s voice fell, several blood-red rays of light rose from the distant Laita City, enveloping the entire city.

And in Su Ran’s view, a system pop-up appeared before his eyes.
