My Wife and I Became Sages in Another World

It had been a little over a month since we returned to the academy at the Sephyr Kingdom, and the road that went through the Illusive Forest was almost done.

When I showed it to King Leon, he heartily laughed as he said he would contact the Droman Empire to re-negotiate their trading.

Now that they had a way to cross by land safely, it would take considerably less time for goods to be imported or exported.

All of the nations in the western continent were able to communicate in an instant with my voice crystals, so sending letters between rulers became a thing of the past.

Ideally, I would have liked for every country to be able to communicate, but it was a good first step in that direction.

Still, all that time, I kept thinking about what Gina told me in my room—about Melina’s 18th birthday.

In this world, most noble ladies had what was called a "debutante ball," which was a large, fancy party where the upper class socialized.

However, there were more hidden meanings behind the party, and one of them was to look for the perfect suitors for the debutante.

Ever since Melina was a small child, the royal family received letters from nobles all over the world wanting to engage their sons with her.

Nevertheless, Queen Diana never allowed anyone to choose Melina’s partner for her, saying that her daughter would decide when it was time.

Melina’s mother was the Crown Princess back in her days, and during her debutante ball, she received proposals from almost every single male noble in the world. However, her father said that the Sephyrs would never marry anyone out of convenience.
