Minerva, her 400 years of age notwithstanding, was humming softly and writing on a scroll with a cheerful expression.

It couldn’t be helped.

She was experiencing a sense of curiosity she hadn’t felt in a very long time.

Even her magical research, which she had been conducting out of a sense of duty for the past two hundred years, had regained its vigor.

It was only natural, considering that two unprecedented events had occurred within a few days.

One was about the Crystal Scroll, and the other was about Delta, the one who had promised to find it for her.

Both were topics that greatly piqued her curiosity.

‘The more I think about it, the more fascinating he is.’

Minerva thought of Delta, who had undergone a remarkable transformation in the past few days, as she continued to write on the scroll.

When she had first inspected him at Aurora’s mansion, he had been a man with a paltry amount of inherent mana.

It was almost certain that he would run out of mana after casting one or two low-level spells.

But when she encountered him again at the Imperial Palace, she was surprised to find that his total mana capacity had increased severalfold.

Minerva was so astonished that she even doubted her own senses for a moment.

Considering the short time that had passed between when she had brought him to her bedroom and when they had arrived at the Imperial Palace, it was an unbelievable level of change.

Of course, his base mana capacity was so ridiculously low that even a severalfold increase wasn’t that significant.

However, what was more important was the fact that he had shown such a drastic increase in such a short period of time.

‘If we only consider his talent, he would be more than capable of entering the Mage Tower… Perhaps even surpassing those already there.’

Minerva had taught countless mages throughout her life, and some of them had shown similar or even faster growth than Delta.

But those achievements were made possible by the Mage Tower’s generous support.

There had never been a case where someone had achieved such growth without any support or effort, like Delta.

Magic was something that developed gradually through the acquisition of knowledge.

To suddenly gain enlightenment without going through that process, simply by doing nothing?

As far as Minerva knew, that was absolutely impossible.

Minerva seriously considered bringing Delta into the Mage Tower and nurturing him as a mage.

She was even willing to take him on as her apprentice if he desired.

It would be an unprecedented level of privilege in the Empire’s centuries-long history, but considering Delta’s potential, it would be a worthwhile investment.

Besides, hadn’t he said he would tell her the location of the dungeon where the Crystal Scroll was hidden?

The moment that promise proved to be true, all the mages in the Empire would be begging him for his favor instead of ostracizing him.

“……Hmm?”

Minerva, who was about to finish a sentence and pick up a new scroll, frowned as she detected a foreign mana flow nearby.

This was her bedroom, a place protected by dozens of layers of protective magic, personally cast by Minerva herself, along with Cecilia’s bedroom.

Most magic couldn’t even be cast within this space and yet, she could feel a mana flow…

“Well, this is a surprise. To think you would drag your heavy body all the way here. What brings you here?”

Minerva spoke without turning around.

A moment later, dark magic converged in the air behind her.

Minerva’s face contorted in disgust at the sickening, viscous flow.

It was similar to teleportation magic, but fundamentally different.

A black torrent swirled, forming a giant circle.

Minerva put down her pen, turned around, and looked behind her.

A woman was stepping out of the swirling black torrent.

Minerva’s face crumpled even further as she saw her with her own eyes.

The woman who emerged from the black torrent was short, almost three heads shorter than Minerva.

Even considering that Minerva was incredibly tall for a woman, even compared to most men, the woman was exceptionally short.

In contrast, her breasts were absurdly large.

Minerva herself had above-average breasts, but this woman possessed a far more substantial weight.

They were even bigger than her head.

Her already large breasts seemed even more prominent due to her short stature.

They swayed wildly with every step she took.

Her naturally slender waist appeared even thinner compared to the two masses of fat hanging above and the plump thighs right below her waist only emphasized the contrast.

Her bottom, which barely qualified as clothing, and her top, which practically exposed her breasts, combined with her curvy figure to create a powerful synergy.

Minerva, ignoring her simple attire, glared at the woman with a hardened expression.

“Uh, hello, Lady Minerva…”

A timid voice, a face nervously trying to read the mood, and enormous breasts that threatened to burst out of her clothes, contrasting sharply with her meek demeanor.

Her dull, violet-green hair swayed behind her, and her black eyes darted nervously beneath her bangs.

“Since you’ve come all this way to see me, I trust it’s something important. Because if it isn’t, I’m going to be quite upset. You’ve interrupted my enjoyable time.”

Minerva’s right hand reached for her staff, which was floating in the air.

Tap.

The tip of her staff lightly touched the floor.

Blue mana flared, and her white and black pupils met the woman’s gaze.

“Answer me, Nyx. What brings you here?”

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

‘Finally, it’s over.’

I walked down the hallway of the Imperial Palace with an exhausted expression.

Meeting the ordinary members of the Silver Dawn Knights at their headquarters was fine.

It was fine, but the moment they heard I was a new recruit, all their attention turned to me.

The four Knight Commanders weren’t exactly the sentimental type, so I hadn’t expected them to hug each other and cry tears of joy at their reunion after so many years.

But I had thought they would at least be happy to see each other.

Instead, they just exchanged a few greetings and that was it.

As a result, I was the one who had to endure their relentless attention for the rest of the time.

Moreover, the Knight Commanders didn’t seem to care that their subordinates’ attention was solely focused on me, despite their reunion after so many years.

They even looked proud.

In the end, I was bombarded with all sorts of questions, and it was almost an hour before I was finally freed.

It was incredibly draining.

I would have preferred sparring with ordinary knights twenty times in a row.

At least that wouldn’t have been so mentally exhausting.

‘I should probably restore the Silver Dawn Knights to their original positions.’

The fate of the Golden Twilight Knights and the Silver Dawn Knights was determined by the player.

Players could restore the Silver Dawn Knights to their original positions, merge the Golden Twilight Knights into the Silver Dawn Knights, or even become the Knight Commander themselves.

I had originally aimed for a position as the Empress’s direct subordinate, but the unusual interest Cecilia was showing me made me hesitate.

I wondered if I could handle that level of attention, which felt more like pressure.

‘Well, I can think about it later.’

I decided to put it out of my mind for now.

There was no need to worry about such things right now.

I would just figure something out as the story progressed.

It was pointless to think about the future at this point.

It had already deviated so much from the story of BD4 that I knew.

I didn’t even know what Cecilia would do to me during our next audience.

It was absurd to worry about anything beyond that.

“So you were here.”

Someone stopped me as I was about to return to my room.

I turned my head.

It was a maid who had a similar aura to Lana, but with a much more emotionless expression.

I had been served by her since yesterday, but I couldn’t get used to her demeanor.

She was even more robotic than Lana, to the point where it felt uncanny.

Her movements were so stiff that she could have passed for a human-shaped machine.

It made me realize that this was the level of professionalism required to work in the Imperial Palace.

“What is it?”

“The Empress summons you. You must prepare to meet her immediately.”

“……Just me?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

The moment I heard those words, my instincts screamed danger.

Cecilia was a woman who had pulled my head between her legs without hesitation, even in the central hall where Aurora and the Knight Commanders were present.

She was someone who could do such a thing without batting an eyelid in a public setting and now, she had summoned me alone?

It didn’t feel good.

Not good at all.

“I understand. Where should I go?”

I asked, sighing inwardly.

Whether it felt good or not, I couldn’t ignore the Empress’s summons.

Her emotionless eyes turned to me.

“To Her Majesty’s bedroom.”
