Volume 1 Chapter 68-2 Mean Villainess, Drifting with the Atmosphere
But it's super fantasy, right?
"But you see, I was told by the royal family that I shouldn't end it."
Apparently, her stone divination is immensely popular among the women around the queen and the royal family.
So, it seems she was asked to pass it on to someone if possible.
"So, just because I casually mentioned that it would be fine for me to end it, it turned into quite a hassle..."
"A hassle...?"
"The royal palace's Divination Magic division has started divining who should inherit my skills."
This is serious.
The royal palace's Divination Magic division is supposed to be a serious group that predicts the fate of the nation, right?
"So, is this current situation the result of that?"
"Yes. They said a brilliant student who just graduated from the academy and learned stone divination would be suitable. Then Prince Sven mentioned he had someone in mind."
No way, Sven.
If only Sven hadn't said such a thing, this wouldn't have turned into such a big deal.
"Here is the letter of recommendation from the prince."
The handsome man who had been silent until now said this and spread a piece of paper on the table.
It had some complicated text written on it, and at the end was Sven's signature.
That guy, did he even recommend me without telling me?
"Since there is a letter of recommendation from the prince, if Count Alfano acts as a guardian, the honorary title of Count will be granted to Lady Elena in the future."
The prince's letter of recommendation, could it actually be an amazing item?
This sad game brain makes me think that way...
"What do you think, Elena?"
Suddenly, Mother asked me.
However, even if you ask me what I think...
"What do you mean by that?"
"You would become the disciple of the nation's top stone diviner, right?"
Hearing that, it sounds very appealing.
"But if it's about inheriting the skills, Camellia's child..."
"Ah, my son has entered the royal palace's Divination Magic division and married into the Duke family."
"Huh?"
"Because of that, I was thinking of ending it with my generation, but if there's a suitable child to inherit, I would like them to take it on if possible."
If there's no one to inherit it, will it be thrown away?
I suddenly thought that.
That's really a waste, I thought.
"Can I do it?"
"Yes, with your magical power, you'll easily learn the magic."
"Can you see my magical power?"
"Hehe, I can see it."
To think I can see someone's magical power!
My fantasy brain was buzzing with excitement.
"I want to become your apprentice!"
Upon declaring that, my father let out an "Eh?"
"Oh, Sir Oscar, do you oppose this?"
"No, well..."
"Since the Alfano family will be the guardians, you won't be separated in the future, right?"
"I shall agree."
It was an immediate response.
"Then, Elena's future as an diviner will be secure."
I smiled back at Mother, who grinned.
"By the way, Ellie, you are Prince Sven's first friend, right?"
"Yes."
"Elena is my proud friend, that's what he said."
It seems quite a remarkable story was being told without my knowledge.
That Sven.
"Also, if Ellie becomes my apprentice, she'll soon become the royal family's diviner, so it won't be that we can't meet."
Speaking of which, at the graduation party, he said, "We won't be able to meet much."
I wonder if he meant he was lonely.
...More importantly, is it certain that I will become the royal diviner?
I wonder if he didn't consider the possibility of me refusing...
"If Prince Sven likes you that much, you must be a good child. Nice to meet you, Ellie."
"Yes, nice to meet you too."
I said that and shook hands firmly with Ms. Camellia, no, my teacher.
