: Family (3)
Luke opened his mouth.
"I asked to see Jamie-kun because I wanted to talk a little bit about power."
"If it's a force Are you referring to the three major powers of the magic world?"
right.
"Do you want to bring me into Equality?"
At Jamie's straightforward question, Luke's eyes widened. Because I didn't know you were going to ask.
Adelhardt looked at Jamie like that and stuck out his tongue.
"Isn't the little boy teasing his tongue quite harshly?"
"So isn't it?"
"Ugh. It's not entirely wrong, though.
Luke brushed his beard and shook his head with a friendly smile.
I don't think you'll stick with us.
"Why do you think so?"
"First of all, Jamie-kun's background is the biggest reason. It's hard to imagine that the eldest son of the Welton family, one of the two pillars of the eastern aristocracy, would join us."
"Is it because Equality is an organization made up of commoners?"
right. In the end, one way or another, what we want is to alleviate class differences."
Luke didn't use the word equality.
In a hierarchical society with strong royal authority, there is nothing more ridiculous than the word 'equality'.
However, the power of those who wished for equality to a certain extent was Equality.
It is no exaggeration to say that the present world is a land ruled by royalty and nobility. In fact, although most of the common people make up the world, they are in a position where they are exploited by being bound by class.
Equality tried to break that reality even a little, and it had actually risen to that point.
In fact, the greatest force among the three major forces in the magical world was none other than Equality.
"By the way, aren't the 5 elders from aristocrats?"
Luke replied with a smile.
"Exactly, the Fallen Nobility. It also collapsed when I was six years old, so calling it a nobleman is a bit ridiculous."
Luke spent most of his life with commoners.
It was a bit funny to say that he spent time with commoners. Luke was no different from commoners except that he was a nobleman, and in fact, he thought of himself as a commoner.
"I used to be a commoner."
Adelhardt shrugged and said.
At the age of ten, she was lucky enough to be caught in the eyes of a witch and learn magic. He was talented and somehow got to this position, but the process was not smooth.
Even if it was Siegfried's level of talent, her talent was vaguely superior, so that she was of commoner origin was always a problem.
Because of that, I sympathized with Luke's ideas a lot, and now as a partner, we are leading the Equalities together.
"So, I have no intention of asking you to come to Equality."
He did not add that he was of different origins.
Jamie understood the meaning of the words, so he didn't ask.
Instead, I asked something else.
"Then what do you want from me?"
"It is not difficult."
Luke licked his lips as if in a bit of anguish, then continued.
"If you don't want to hold hands with us, don't stick with the other side."
" Do not join hands with the royalists or the nobles?"
"Yes. Do you know the current state of the magic world?"
"You can't say you don't know."
Currently, the magic world is still divided into three groups: the Royalist, the Nobility, and the Equalities, but three months ago, the game began to shift slightly.
It was because of Serpent Gerol, the former three elders who were in charge of one axis of the royal faction.
Serpent, who had been corrupted as much as he had been corrupted by a deal with demons, died at the hands of Jamie.
If it was just death, the power of the royal family within the magic world could not be tilted.
Although it was the smallest of the three major powers in terms of size, it was the largest in actual power.
The problem was that Serpent was related to demons.
It spread to suspicion of the entire royal sect. Since it was a force that existed for the king's prestige, there was no such thing as oppression, although there was suspicion.
Even so, it was safe to say that from the moment they began to be suspicious, the royal faction had virtually lost its influence in the magical world.
It may regain its former prestige after some time, but it is lost in the current political struggle.
The first elder, Offen Ginger, the head of the royal faction, did not open his mouth even at the elders meeting, perhaps tacitly acknowledging this.
"If Jamie-kun joins the aristocratic group under such circumstances, the balance between us and the aristocrat, which was at least in balance, will be out of balance in an instant."
"I don't know if Siegfried would raise our hand ."
Adelhard wiggled his tail.
Because she knew what she was saying, but it didn't make sense.
"Anyway, that's the reason. It's an ugly adult situation, but I hope you understand.
Jamie grinned.
"First of all, you don't have to say it's an adult situation. I am no longer a child."
"Oh."
"And, well, it's also funny."
"What do you mean?"
Luke and Adelhardt's expressions darkened at the funny words.
On the other hand, Jamie answered with a broad smile.
"That's right. You don't even know how the world is going right now, and you're fighting like a star for power."
"It's like ."
"Hey, Jamie Welton. I know your reputation is high, but I wish you had chosen a few words."
"I'm doing this by choosing enough."
When Adelhardt was about to get angry, Luke raised his hand to stop it.
"Can you tell me what that means?"
"Whatever your thoughts are, I don't know. Those little things are not my concern."
"To treat class issues as trivial. Did you know that this actually spawned a lot of rebels around the world?"
"So will you start a rebellion?"
"This guy is real!"
"Mr. Adelhard. I have a lot of patience, so please do it in moderation."
Jamie smiled and looked at Adelhardt.
A terrible pressure swept over her whole body.
