Volume 2 Chapter 14-2 Stone Diviner Apprentice, Secretly Peeking
I used to be a candidate for the bride too, you know.
In the end, I became a dropout, though.
I think I heard a rumor that the daughter of the wealthy Margrave, who was also a potential bride at the time, has now married off somewhere.
"It says in the newspaper that there's a possibility of marriage with the princess."
"The princess, huh? That must be Sven's sister."
She was definitely a cute girl, so it wouldn't be surprising if their love story got featured in the newspaper as a tale of beautiful people.
"It's not impossible for it to be the princess of a neighboring country."
"The princess of a neighboring country...? That means Rudger's sister?"
Isn't it super interesting that Rudger and Sir Lorentz would become relatives?
It's also quite interesting that Sven and Sir Lorentz would become relatives too.
But Rudger was just recently thought of as a commoner by everyone, you know?
...Either way, this newspaper would probably write about it in an amusing way.
If it were just me thinking it's amusing, that's one thing, but it's not fun when my friends become the topic.
Considering that, it'd be better if he married someone who doesn't get much attention.
But since Sir Lorentz is a super excellent catch, I'm sure the girls around him are in quite a frenzy.
Like the women around Mister Eliseo.
If I were to read Sir Lorentz's fortune, I might see a complete encirclement of stones surrounding him.
"Elena?"
"...Huh?"
"You seem to be lost in thought."
"...No, I was just itching to try and read Sir Lorentz's current situation."
If he conveniently came to consult me, I would happily do a reading.
But once you're in the Royal Guard Magic Division, it seems you can't easily go out, so that's definitely impossible.
"You can't just read someone's fortune without them being here."
"That's true, isn't it?"
"But why do you want to know his current situation?"
"I just thought it would be interesting if the magic circle showed a bunch of carnivorous beasts targeting Sir Lorentz as their prey."
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to find amusement in someone's current situation?"
I know he said that, but I didn't miss it; he just smiled a little.
No, but Rolus is right.
It's not good to randomly predict things, and it's not good to find it amusing either.
Yeah, it's not good.
"...but I'm a bit curious."
"I understand how you feel, but..."
"Hey, Rolus. I just want to do a simple stone reading, just a little."
"You can't just ask him that."
"It's a secret between us 2!"
"You're forcing me to be an accomplice."
I grabbed Rolus's arm and pulled him along as I slipped into my room.
I gently opened the jewelry box there.
"Promise you won't tell anyone what you see here, Rolus."
"...Okay."
Rolus let out a small sigh but finally nodded, albeit with a look of exasperation.
Which carnivore will succeed in the hunt... no, rather, who will Sir Lorentz marry?
If I could just find that out, I'd be satisfied for now.
"Here!"
The stone I scooped up without looking rolled across the table.
And...
"Huh, the light disappeared."
For just a moment, it shimmered, but that light quickly dispersed into mist.
That means Sir Lorentz might not marry in the future.
Despite being targeted by many women, he can't seem to capture anyone's heart.
As I pondered this, I suddenly heard the words of the stone.
They were quite outrageous words.
"Elena, what's the outcome?"
Even though I had said it was a bad thing, it seemed Rolus was also curious.
"It seems Sir Lorentz won't be marrying."
"Huh..."
"Or rather, if he had chosen me back then, the outcome would have been different."
That "back then" must refer to when I was a candidate alongside the wealthy Margrave's daughter.
"...So that means, marrying Elena was a possibility...?"
"It seems that's not going to be the case."
It appears it was just a point of fate back then.
Sir Lorentz isn't getting married.
As I thought that, I felt a little down.
But surely Sir Lorentz will be happy too, right?
With that thought, I glanced at the jewelry box, and the stones twinkled brightly.
"Eh?"
"Elena? What's wrong?"
"Well, it seems like Sir Lorentz isn't getting married, but he's going to accomplish great things."
"Great things."
According to the divination, Sir Lorentz is said to cause something in the future.
And he will achieve great things.
"They say he's a person who will leave his name in history, Sir Lorentz."
I don't know when it will be or what exactly he will achieve, but it seems to be his destiny.
"That's exciting to hear!"
"Yeah, it's super exciting!"
Since he's in the Royal Guard Magic Division and has immense magical power, he might create some incredible magic!
Just thinking about it makes my heart race.
"Maybe Sir Lorentz will create magic that surpasses spells... like resurrection magic!"
"The one getting excited about that magic would probably be Elena or Lord Rudger."
...That's true!
