A Non-combat Magic Artifact Researcher ー Actually Was an Extroadinary S-rank Mage～ Though He Worked Overtime Without Compensation and Contributed Greatly, He Was Labeled as Incompetent and Was Fired

Kraus: “Yes, a large Falcon delivered it.”

 

It must be Falcon No.
1.

 

It must have gone to the Capital’s palace before coming to my location.

 

Kraus: “And it was made known that the Great Sage that Professor Kay mentioned to the Princess was about you, Sir Werner.”

 

Kraus: “………………..that can’t be….”

 

And it’s true that inside Lotte’s letter, she was asked to visit a Great Sage in the wilderness.

 

My Master always referred to himself as a Sage or Grand Mage so that didn’t even cross my mind.

 

Werner: “But I have not heard my Master say anything about this…..”

 

Kraus: “And is that not a common occurrence between you and Professor Kay?” Werner: “Unfortunately, it is exactly as you say.”

 

My Master will rarely even consult me about important matters.

 

That is just who my Master is.

 

Kraus: “Professor Kay himself does not wish for the end of the Lamet Kingdom, and he intends to execute his own plans on the matter.”

 

Werner: “How will the Professor assist the Lamet Kingdom?”

Kraus: “That, I do not know.”

 

Werner: “Sir Kraus, your Royal Highness, could I take a look at that letter……”

 

But even as I speak, the Imperial Prince smiles at me knowingly.

 

Kraus: “It was written to not show you, Sir Werner, the contents of the letter.
I do not know the reason.”

Werner: “………..I see.
Then it cannot be helped.”

 

I’m certain that I would have caught something within the letter if I read it.

 

It would have pertained to my Master’s location or what my Master was planning on doing.

 

And My Master does not want me to know.

 

Kraus: “My apologies, Sir Werner.” Werner: “No, if my Master says so, then that is for the best.
My Master is most unreasonable, but he can be thoughtful towards his disciple at times.”

 

I think again.

 

My Master probably knew about Lamet Kingdom’s danger.

 

And in order to be able to work in secret, he disappeared from public.

 

Kraus: “So Sir Werner, will you please accept this discipleship?”

Lotte: “Sir Werner, please accept me as your disciple.”

 

And the Imperial Prince and Lotte asked me once again.

 

This is an important matter for the country.

 

It’s not about being my disciple exactly.

 

What’s important is that the Royal blood of the Lamet Kingdom is the disciple of Professor Kay’s disciple.
In other words, she would be the grand-disciple of Professor Kay.
That is key.

 

That’s how much the fame of my Master’s name holds.

 

And not only is the Imperial Prince and Lotte bowing their heads, I can see my Master as well in the backscenes telling me to take Lotte as my disciple.

 

Now it would be incredibly difficult to refuse.

 

Well, she can be my assistant I guess, and I will just teach her some things about making Magecraft Artifacts, and that should suffice.

 

And besides, if a Princess becomes my disciple, it will be difficult for my father and brother to continue being against my Magecraft Tool research and development.

 

Werner: “………I understand.
I will accept the Princess as my formal disciple.”

 

Kraus: “Great! That is indeed welcome news.
You have lifted a great burden off my shoulder.”

 

Lotte: “Thank you so much!”

 

And the Imperial Prince and Lotte were beaming and smiling at my answer.
