Chapter 34

The man wearing a raven-like black robe, showed off his presence in the room, even though he was wearing dark clothes. Hunter opened the door and greeted the ginger-haired man who entered the room nonchalantly.

"You came quickly, Magic Lord."

"Yeah, well, teleportation, you know. I'm the Magic Lord."

Cain answered roughly and strode towards the bed. Hunter fiercely blocked Cain.

"Why did you summon me? Isn't it to show me this?"

"Watch your words. He's the Crown Princess."

"Well, considering he is dying, I don't know if there will be a Crown Princess."

"Magic Tower Lord."

Hunter gritted his teeth, his hand now resting on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

"If you make a mistake with your words again, no matter how much of a Magic Lord you are, I won't tolerate it. Consider this a warning."

"Come on, did I say anything wrong? Huh?"

Cain asked, pulling the hem of the robe of the Court Mage standing next to him. The Court Mage, with a dark expression, removed Cain's hand from the robe and cleared his throat.

"Please watch your words, Magic Tower Lord."

"Where's the fun in that?"

Cain chuckled and raised both hands towards Hunter.

"Got it. Got it. Your Highness, may I dare to inspect the future Crown Princess's aura?"

Hunter didn't flinch at Cain's exaggerated manners. He nodded slightly. Cain sighed with relief and approached Del, who was lying down. Despite his light and carefree demeanor, Cain's sharp eyes quickly and seriously assessed Del's condition.

In addition to the physical components such as flesh, blood, bones, and organs, the human body requires mana to form a life force. People in this world inherently possessed mana, which could be described as a faint yellowish energy cluster. Vessels containing mana, when large or holding exceptional mana, would shine brightly or exhibit a deep yellow color—a fundamental characteristic of mana in this world.

However, Del Narcissus, the mana flowing from this beautiful and interesting man, was strangely similar to the colors of the rainbow. It seemed as if various energies from different worlds were mixed, emitting a peculiar energy that couldn't possibly come from one person.

It was the same type of mana that leaked from the fallen chandeliers at the party. What are the chances of discovering mana that one has never seen before on the same day around Del? The chandelier incident was undoubtedly related to Del Narcissus. However, he didn't seem to handle mana or know how to use magic. There seemed to be some connection, but that part was completely empty, making Cain, as a mage, intensely curious.

"This curiosity hasn't come for a long time."

Cain, born and raised in the Magic Tower, had almost no magic to be curious about anymore. He was a 'genius' that no one could defeat, dedicating his short life entirely to magic. If there was a magic that Cain couldn't cast, it would be something like forbidden dark magic, resurrecting corpses, or turning back time. Of course, he was secretly researching it behind the backs of the old folks in the tower, but it was a slow process, and he planned to take his time step by step.

But a human with mana he had never seen before appeared! It was like a surprising gift dropped to Cain dying of boredom.

He lightly swept his finger over Del's cold cheek. Despite the lowered body temperature, the smooth and fluffy white cheek felt pleasant to the touch.
