The Cheat Plant Mage Hides to Live a Slow Life!! ～ I’ve Been Banished from the Court and Want to Raise a World Tree but my Territory is too Strong～ - Chapter 67

Above all, if Riito’s superior prowess could be kept in the empire, it would be a great benefit to the Romacia Empire as well as to Adel.

And yet.

While receiving reports from the court mages, she received an unexpected report.

Riito Ricart has been expelled.

「…..I’m afraid there were dissatisfactions within the court mages saying that his treatment was too favorable considering his performance.」

「…dissatisfaction?」

Complaints about his performance?

It should be because some members of the royal family and powerful generals who knew his true identity were friendly to him.

—bunch of fools.

Adel trembled.

She’s trembling in anger.

「I don’t like him. He’s so cocky…just a woman…!」

A disturbing sound echoed through the glittering room of the princess.

Adel, the beautifully dressed, sixth princess.

She’s holding a fan in her hand.

In Romancia Empire, it has been a custom since ancient times for noblewomen to carry elegant and graceful fans.

However.

Adel’s fan is not the shiny wooden or ivory one that noblewomen usually carry.

It’s an iron fan.

And that fan is making an unpleasant sound.

It’s not magic.

It is something unique to her.

—It was Adel’s muscle power.

She clenched the fan in anger and shouted—

「—-prepare my dragon chariot.」

Crack, the fan shattered.

This shouldn’t be coming from a beautiful princess but, a sword-like light penetrates the court mage from her eyes.

「Ye-yes?」

「I will go after Riito Ricart. I’ll write to inform father. As soon as we are ready, we’ll head south.」

「B-but, Adelia-sama, you have a dinner scheduled this week with some high-ranking nobles and the upper echelons of the military.」

「That doesn’t matter.」

「wha…」

「I said I don’t care. It is father’s way of looking for a fiancé for me….」

The court mage falls silent.

She’s right.
