The moment my vision was cleared, I saw Seth holding my feet and legs. His thin lips were pressed together and he looked angry.

“Let go of her.”

Dietrich forcefully pushed away Seth’s hand.

“Dietrich Beluga!”

“What’s the matter, Seth Milan.”

“Both of you, stop it.”

I said by being annoyed, and they fell silent.

I pushed Dietrich away and returned to my seat.

“By the way, can I get out of there if I go to the tower?”

The tower is located in the middle of the sea.

The tall tower-shaped building I first saw when I arrived here, on the Atel hills, must have been the magic tower. Although it didn’t seem too far at first glance, it was definitely not close to the mainland.

“Well, if you don’t want to go to the tower, do you want to come with me?”

“What are you talking about? The writer will go with me.”

They glared at each other as Seth ran his hand through my hair and Dietrich wrapped his arm around my waist.

I hugged the jewels which were held in my arms tightly.

* * *

“Please come this way.”

The place we arrived at was an open area where the sea breeze was blowing.

From a distance, the tower was visible.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for me to swim out to the land from that tower.

…I’m pretty sure this is a voluntary confinement. Should I go with Seth or Dietrich now?

I obediently followed along because I have many questions for the tower lord, but it scares me.

The man, presumably a middle-aged man, pointed somewhere.

“Please stand here.”

Through the overgrowth of weeds and wildflowers, I could see an uneven stone floor. Faint golden markings gleamed on it.

Seth, me, and Dietrich stood hand in hand.

“The transfer is starting.”

A golden light mixed with silver which was emanated from the magic circle. It was dazzling, but not to the point where I couldn’t keep my eyes open.

This light feels familiar.

In the moment of being felt puzzled, the scenery in front of my eyes changed.

“Whoa!”

I closed my eyes once and opened them again, my surroundings had changed. The room was brighter and cleaner than I expected.

“That was teleportation magic, wasn’t it?”

Magic, the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced in my life!

“It’s really amazing; I want to do it again. It’s fun.”

“Hoho, if you’re in the tower, you’ll get to see various kinds of magic.”

“Really? I’m looking forward to it then!”

I let go of the hands I was holding and looked around.

Surprisingly, the walls were made of ordinary materials, and there were even windows.

I should be happy with this simplicity, but how did my life become so spectacular?

“Master.”

“Yes?”

Seth, who came up beside me, looks at me with a grim face.

“Do you like it?”

“It’s amazing.”

“Hmm, it seems like you like it here.”

Not exactly.

It seems Seth wasn’t pleased with my reaction about the tower.

Dietrich, standing next to Seth, was no different than him. Navy blue eyes, filled with blatant hostility, scanned the interior of the tower.

“Now, shall we decide on the day?”

Our attention was drawn by a robed man, and we all gathered around the sofa.

Since this world was based on my living environment, I wrote dates in years, months, and days, and a week had 7 days.

“I’ll take Monday and Tuesday.”

“Foolish Knight Commander, then you have to endure the whole week.”

“Then, I’ll come for three days.”

“That’s not fair. Don’t you know that?”

They always fight!

Oh, I set it up that way.

“How about the three of you, the Chancellor, the Knight Commander, and the tower lord, monopolize the young lady for two days, and then all three gather together for the remaining day?”

Looking at the two men who were fighting, the one in the black robe spoke up.

“I’m only suggesting this because I’m afraid the young lady might get confused if you complicate the dates.”

Both pairs of eyes were fixed on me, and being indifferent to whatever they said, I nodded.

“However.”

“Yes, Your Grace.”

“The Tower Lord resides in the Tower all the time. My master probably does the same.”

“That’s correct.”

“Then, I think it’s too advantageous for the tower lord…”

The red lips drew a sly smile.

Dietrich’s eyes gleamed.

“Both of you seem to have forgotten that you silently took the lady with you.”

Oh, this guy is good with words!

“The opinion of the lady is the most important matter here, isn’t it? Miss, where would you like to stay?”

Wasn’t I supposed to be in the tower anyway?

After all, Seth, you’re the one who called the tower lord.

Seeing him come out like this, I didn’t know whether to admire his brazenness or feel pity for him for wanting to hold onto me so badly.

Seth slipped his hand beneath my palm, gently intertwined his fingers one by one.

“Ah, mmm.”

As if enchanted, I turned my head to the side, and there were his deep eyes, which was staring at me. He seduced me with his veiled, cool features filled with depth.

So, I looked straight ahead.

“I’ll stay in the Tower.”

“Master!”

“Writer!”

“Before that, I can go out if I want to, right?”

“Sure.”

“And you won’t stop these people from coming.”

“If you try to, the Tower will be shattered into pieces right away.”

Dietrich released a threatening tone, and the person in the robe nodded.

“Except for the fact that the lady resides here, nothing will restrict the lady.”

Of course, depending on how crazy the Tower Lord is, the situation might change in the future, but for now, the environment here seems more pleasant.

“All right. I’ll stay here.”

“The day after tomorrow is already the weekend, right? Master, I’ll come early.”

“Me too—”

“No, for the next ten days, entry and exit from the Tower are restricted. Reflect on your actions during that time.”

The two tried to protest at the mage’s firm words, but this is where I drove the nail at the coffin.

“Yeah, don’t come.”

I stood up from my seat and looked at the two men who were dumbfounded.

“I’ve only just moved here; I think I’ll need some time to adapt. Seth, bring back a hundred gold coins next time, and Dietrich, get me some more clothes. And Magician?”

“Yes?”

“Tomorrow, please make sure that these people don’t come to see me. And since I’m done here, you can escort me.”

“Understood.”

“Okay.”

The hooded man replied with what sounded like a hint of laughter in his voice and stood up.

“The two of you must go now.”

Seth’s lips were pressed tight together, and Dietrich’s eyes gleamed coldly.

… Did I get too far by changing my guardian suddenly?
