I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart - Chapter 54
I entrusted two more letters to the maid who was leaving.
One to Aurin and one to Nus. If I use the carrier pigeon, the letter will disappear in the middle. But if I send it through Aurin, it will be delivered properly.
“How should I do this?”
If you are a wizard who has reached a certain level, you will go to the Magic Tower to test your skills and receive the appropriate level. In other words, I have to register my identity with the Magic Tower to become an official wizard.
One has to become an official wizard to be hired, and the higher the level, the better the treatment, so registering as a wizard is taken for granted.
I did want to register to check my exact skills.
“If the fact that I am a wizard is known, it will only cause more ruckus …….”
I’ll have to procrastinate a bit.

I returned the carriage at the entrance of the downtown area and walked a little. They won’t know who I am because I’m wearing a cape and a hood.
When I went to the meeting place and the reserved place, Dr. Blest was there.
Today his hair was plain, neither shaggy nor tucked back.
“I ordered. What about the Lady?”
“I’ll order too.”
Dr. Blest grinned and spoke as he brought the drink.
“I heard it, but Lady, you’re actually amazing?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Your popularity, you’re popular.”
Dr. Blest gulped down the fruit drink.
“I thought my cousin was exaggerating because Lady was modest. But, it seems that everyone is anxious because they can’t get close to Lady. Everyone will envy me when they see me alone with you.”
“They would envy me for having a private meeting with a famous doctor.”
Weathering Blest, one of the Empire’s leading scholars and wizards. It was unknown exactly to what extent, but it is clear that he has achieved tremendous achievements at such a young age.
Besides, Dr. Blest seems to possess quite a bit of magical power.
“The magic storm is related to the residence of the different races. This is certain.”
Dr. Blest immediately got to the point.
“It’s a fact I’ve found out while traveling around the Northern Empire for the past five years. It’s difficult for me to find places where fairies and dragons live, so I checked around the monsters’ dwellings.”
“A fairy won’t be much different. According to the data I checked, here, look at the distribution map of the Southern Empire.”
“Hey, how do you get this?”
“It was mentioned in a book written by Nice, a wizard from the Southern Empire.”
“My God, you mean The Ecosystem of Fairies, right? You saw that book? How?”
“Um, you have to swear that you won’t speak about this on Dr. Blest’s honor.”
“Of course. I swear I won’t speak on my research, my mageship, or my magical powers.”
Finally, Dr. Blest activated the magic of the oath, and as soon as the soft silver light permeated him, I opened my mouth.
“It is in the restricted area of the Imperial Library.”
“Oh my God. Restricted area? If you’re talking about that restricted area, isn’t it more difficult to enter than the Magic Tower?”
Dr. Blest tousled his hair.
“It wasn’t for nothing that everyone was admiring Hardland.”
“If this material is useful, I will come back next time.”
“Sure! It’s a place that even my cousin can’t enter. Please, Lady. There is only Lady in here.”
The hardships I endured as a child are now shining through.
“By the way, is Lady going to become a scholar? Or a wizard?”
“Well…….”
I laughed at the end of my words, so Dr. Blest didn’t ask anymore.
Several drinking cups were piled up beside me and the doctor. In just a few hours of talking to him, I was able to reap more than I invested all my childhood into.
“I got the result to write three papers, but I don’t know what benefit the Lady had.”
“There is nothing more rewarding than gaining new knowledge.”
“Haha, the more I look at you, the more interesting you are.”
Dr. Blest, who was laughing excitedly, raised his glasses and said.
“Call me Weathering. I haven’t said it until now, but to be honest, the title ‘doctor’ is a bit unfamiliar to me.”
“Haha, then did you think I should have called you Wizard?”
“That’s not good either.”
I laughed out loud at Dr. Blest, no, at Weathering, who was shuddering.
“Please feel free to call me too. It’s been a long time since I’ve been called Lady, so I feel strange every time I hear it.”
“Yes, Euseniel. I look forward to your support in the future too.”
Weathering held out his hand. He and I left the cafe and headed our separate ways.
We decided to meet every other week to continue the discussion. I will retrieve the data from the Restricted Area, and Weathering will work on making connections based on the data.
“Soon. soon…….”
Inside the moving carriage, I pressed my heart that was pounding with anticipation.
Now I can get out of that nightmare.
It is never pleasant to see myself dying even in a dream. Too often, seeing myself dying in my dreams makes me feel like I’m not alive now.
Rattle!
At that moment, my heart beat with excitement, and the carriage shook so much that I mistook it for that. I knew it wasn’t until I felt my body jump.
When I opened the small window, the coachman who had disembarked was coming.
“What happened?”
“A person jumped out, so the carriage had to be stopped suddenly. Were you very surprised?”
“I’m fine. But who suddenly stepped in front of the carriage?”
In order to remain unnoticed, I rode out in an unmarked carriage. Are they trying to get into trouble with someone they thought was not an aristocrat?
“I’ll figure out the situation and let you know right away-”
“- Hey, hey. When are you going to pay me back!”
“My daughter, not my daughter!”
“Your husband asked to take your daughter. Let’s see, she looks pretty. Come, follow Uncle.”
“You can’t!”
“What’s wrong with that? Your husband got into debt while playing games at my store.”
With just a few words of conversation, I could tell what the case was. The father of that house ran out of money while gambling and sold his daughter.
“Hey.”
“Ah? Who else are you?”
Because I was a smaller woman than he was, it was clear that the other person looked down on me.
