Book 5: Chapter 45
Although born in the High Elf royal family, Asha was sent to the Lev Magic Empire as an “equivalent value” for a magic airship as fire magic, which elves hate, naturally manifests around her when she produces voice.
In the Empire, Asha was treated as an “art piece” who attended official events and functions and simply sat there.
However, her constitution was found to be controllable, and Asha has been able to speak and use magic freely since. She displayed enough of that in the “Back World”.
「But, if that’s the case, why did you reveal that you had cured Her Highness’ voice, Reiji-kun?」
When I made that “wish” to the Emperor, I also explained about Asha’s throat and voice. WelI, I didn’t say that I sneaked into her room, of course.
Which would in turn increase Asha’s “value” and the Empire wouldn’t want to let her go.
「I just… didn’t want her long sought freedom to be shadowed by secrets.」
「Reiji-kun…」
Mimino-san looked at me with a worried look.
