Chapter 89
“Louisa, keep doing this from now on.”
“Yes.”
On her way out of the Sun Room after greeting her father, Louisa smiled faintly at the concerned servants.
“It’s okay. The work is done now.”
Recently, the Emperor had gained public favor by showing the people directly how he purified water. Of course, it was Louisa who had worked behind the scenes. From the day before, Louisa had to stay up all night activating ancient magic. Returning to her room completely exhausted, Louisa staggered to bed without thinking about the dignity of an imperial princess.
‘I’ll be able to rest for a while now.’
She recalled the memory of activating ancient magic. It was truly a complicated task that felt like her head might explode. If it had been anyone other than Louisa, they might have run away from under the Emperor long ago.
‘But the descendant of Gracia is persistent.’
Louisa was one of the few who knew that the last descendant of Gracia was confined in Abgrund. Louisa thought that descendant was really tenacious. She had clearly received the price of the magic several times, yet she was still not dead. The fact that the magic continued to activate when using her as the price meant that she was still alive.
‘Well, Father handled that wisely at least.’
It was a good idea to confine the Gracia descendant in a prison where God’s power couldn’t reach. If they had tried to harm her outside, God might have intervened. Her father had not opened the prison so far, fearing that the gods might rescue her through the gap when the prison door opened, and Louisa believed his actions were entirely correct.
‘Now then, I’ll rest for a while... Ah.’
