“Oh? I don’t think there’s any place in the castle that the Four Marquises can’t go to . ”
Mark took his hand off the knob and shrugged, but Mark continued to hound him, “That’s only if they’re the heirs . Or those who have inherited the eye colours of their House . ”
“Chrish . ”
So that’s why you came when Chris wasn’t here?
“Oh, Luke’s treasured kid is so smart . ”
Mark tried to stroke my head, and I tried to avoid his hand, but couldn’t .
“Hans . It’s fine . Nico is a direct descendant of the royal family and Lei has inherited her violet eyes . ”
“But, they’re too young . And, this is the role of their parents . That’s why they don’t bring their children with them when they’re this young . ”
“You’re annoying, Hans . ” Mark ignored Hans’s words .
“People have ideas about how it should be . But, it’s not prohibited . I’m the sensei today . I will teach them what I want to teach them .
“But…”
“Hansh . ” That was me .
“Hansh we can’th go over thhere?”
“Lei-sama . Well, it’s not dangerous . But it’s still too early for you to go there . ”
“Then ith’sh fine . ”

I looked at Nico, and he nodded . Nico was calm .
“Dear me, I’m going to open the door . ”
I peeked behind the door in excitement, but it was another corridor . I was disappointed .
However, Mark continued forward and opened another door . It’s really like a maze . Yes, it’s like a maze to make sure people can’t go to the centre of the castle .
“Now, today I want to take you between the barrier . ”
“Bethween thhe barrier . ”
“I wonder how much you know, Lei . ”
Mark looked amused .
“It’s a place that you probably won’t enter ever in your life, Lei . It’s the place that ties the royal family and the Four Marquises to Kingdom, the place where we maintain the barrier . ”
I don’t think we should go to such an important place . I looked at Hans . He may be worried, but he seemed annoyed .
The problem isn’t whether to enter the space between the barrier or not .
“Otou-syama feewsh down . ”
“Leilsama…”
“Otou-syama wanthsh tho shhow Lei . ”
I’m sure Otou-sama would grieve since he wanted to be the first person to show me it .
“Well, I’m sure he does,” Mark said smoothly . He ignored what I had said and opened the door with guards in front of it .
“Milord . You can enter Milord, but it’s prohibited for others to enter . ”

However, he was stopped .
“This girl has inherited the eyes of the Four Marquises, and this boy is a direct descent of the royal family . The guards will stay outside . ”
“But…”
“I have permission from His Highness Lambert . ”
The guards backed down because they had no choice .
“Leilsama, we can’t follow you in . ”
“Ai . It’sh oway . ”
Mark is young, but he seems calm and won’t do anything rash; and he’s the sensei today, so I have no choice but to trust and follow him . Isn’t it exciting to go between the barrier?
When Mark opened the door, he signalled for us to go in, so we went in while he was holding the door open .
“Wow . ”
Unlike what I had expected, the room was big . There was a table in the centre of the room, and the room was lit brightly .
And, that was all .
There were no windows . There were two doors besides the entrance, but there was nothing else in the room . It was quiet .
“Come on, let’s go over there . ” Mark took us to the table in the middle . Nico held his hand out to me . I held his hand lightly, and we headed to the centre .
“I think I should hold Lei . See, it turns into this . ”
The round table-like thing in the middle wasn’t a table, but a pedestal that had been embedded in the floor .
Mark picked me up, then put five big magic stones into the square frame on the pedestal; one in the middle and one in each of the four corners .

“The middle represents the royal family . The one facing the door symbolises the Remingtons . From there clockwise: the Albans, Lisburns and Molesey Houses . ”
“Big…” I couldn’t help but say since it was that big . However, it wasn’t as big as I thought . I instinctively looked for my Rug Dragon plushie to my right . Wait, it’s next to my pillow .
The magic stones were about the same size as the Hollows that rarely appear in the prairie . It was too big to fit in my hand, but it fits nicely into the hand of an adult .
“The magic stones are about the same size because of the person in charge . There are few magic stones like this, so the castle buys them up when they appear in the market . Therefore, there are a few spares . ”
I was held up, and Nico climbed up the chair himself so that we could see on top of the table . The colours of the magic stones varied from light pink to dark purple .
How much will my magic fill? I remembered that Alistair had fainted when I had first seen him fill the magic stone for the barrier box . After that, I accompanied them to train our magic; then I began training on my own, so I think my magic reserves have grown much bigger, and my control has gotten better too .
I can refill the slightly faded magic stone . However, I don’t think I can fill the pink magic stones until they’re dark purple .
This is the power of the Four Marquises . This is the duty that Otou-sama is buried with, and Onii-sama will be burdened with it later .
I suddenly noticed that Nico was reaching out to the magic stones .
“Nico . ”
His hand stopped .
“Oh, you can’t do that, Your Highness . You don’t know how to do it, and if your magic happens to be sucked up, then it’ll dry out,” Mark said as if he was surprised . He put me down, then carried Nico off the chair .
Nico and I looked at each other .
We know how to channel magic, and although I can’t fill the barrier magic stone until it’s full, Nico can probably fill a magic stone until it’s full since he has more magic than me .
If I can do it, then I want to try . Nico’s eyes said .
“No . ”
“I want to . ”
“No . ”
“Well, if you say so, Lei . ”
It’s not my problem . Nico’s Otou-sama will probably get angry . I decided to distract Nico .
“Marw, where do thhoshe doorsh go?”
“Oh, the resting place . ”
“I want to see!”
When I pulled his hand, he chuckled and walked towards the door .
“Nico!” I also called out to Nico, who was staring at the magic stone table .
“Alright . ”
“I’m going to open the door . ”
The other side of the door that Mark showed us was like a small hotel .
There were two big beds, a small table and chair, and a tea set .
“The door over there leads to a small bathroom and shower . ”
It really is like a hotel .
“But, I don’t think anyone uses it . Everyone leaves once they finish their work . ”
“Whath abouth thhe othher door?”
“It leads to another place, but that’s still a secret . ”
Then, it got noisy beyond the door where the guards were stationed . What the heck is going on?
