“You said isolation, but isn’t it just that we’re not close with them? The Remingtons do a proper job with the barrier and they are doing their political work as well . In other words, nothing has changed; in fact, it’s the rest of us three families that have changed . ”
It was just that the three houses questioned what magic was because of Lei and grew a little closer . Even if the Remingtons are isolated, I don’t think they would have a problem with it, since Otou-sama didn’t think anything of it even if he were isolated .
That was how much the Four Marquises weren’t interested in each other .
“Father’s generation is probably fine with this . Or perhaps, it’s difficult to say what can be done to improve the situation . If father hadn’t made a move, then nothing would have changed in the first place,” Mark lightly agreed with me .
“But I wonder if that’s alright with our generation . ”
“Our generation?”
I was surprised that we had been lumped together . Otou-sama is still in the prime of his life . I had only started training my magic two years ago . I have six more years before I come of age .
“Hey, hey, I may be a little older than you, but your father is more than 10 years older than me . However, I’m only four years older than Felicia, and five years older than Gill . I think of myself as being in the same generation as you guys and Prince Lambert . ”
“Prince Lambert’s generation?”
“Yeah . Our fathers are in the same generation as the current King . And the Four Marquises who are younger than me and I are in Prince Lambert’s generation . Perhaps, Prince Nico’s generation will be included in this too . ”
Mark is 20 . He’s more in Otou-sama’s generation for me than the children’s generation .
“Dear me . Don’t treat me like an old man . Even with the barrier, I’m only helping father . ”
“I’m sorry . ”
Honestly, I apologised because I thought that his generation had nothing to do with me .
“I’m not going to say something childish like I want us to get along . It’s just the Remington House doesn’t seem the same as ours where our parents take good care of us . ”
“I had an inkling that it was something like that . ”

“That’s why…” Mark looked at Gill and Felicia and at His Highness and Chris, who were playing happily .
“Even if their parents aren’t supportive . ” What was Mark expecting when he said that?
“It will be extremely difficult for Felicia to stand alone . When the time comes, if we don’t support her, then Kingdom, which is protected by the royal family and the Four Marquises, will collapse . ”
“Mark?”
“With father’s generation and ours . Two, not one, make up the groups that maintain the barrier . Wouldn’t it be a relief if that happened?”
It was something I hadn’t thought of . I didn’t know what to think and nothing came out of my mouth .
“So, we’re going to train our magic, and raise all the children’s powers . So that the barrier can be maintained with our generation alone . Coincidence or not, but all the skilful people are gathered here, I’m sure we can do it . ”
“You’re not just talking about the heirs, but Lei and Chris too?”

“That’s right . Those two have too much magic, so they probably won’t be left alone even if they’re not successors . ”
“You came all the way here today to say that?”
Then it would have been better for him to come to the mansion so we can talk about it more .
Mark looked a little cheeky and laughed .
“I didn’t want father to know . I mean, Luke, you shouldn’t tell the Albans head either . ”
“Why?”
“Because they’ll stop us . ”
“You’re right . ”
At least, Otou-sama wouldn’t like Lei to be involved, and Gill’s father wouldn’t want to impose such a burden on a small child .

“But we can do it, for better or for worse . I’m not going to misjudge Lei’s special powers just because she’s cute . In terms of magic manipulation alone, she’s probably better than you . ”
“That’s…”
Lei said that I was amazing since I learnt everything quickly, but Lei is actually better at manipulating magic than me . She just doesn’t know because she can’t concentrate and falls asleep quickly .
“Felicia is too serious to keep secrets, so you can’t tell Felicia and Chris about this . This is between me, you, and Gill . ”
“I haven’t agreed to anything yet, and I don’t know what Gill will say . ”
“Gill will agree . I’m sure . ”
I couldn’t help but snap at the confident Mark, “Then, Prince Lambert…”
“He doesn’t know . If he does, then he’ll disband this study group . ”
I felt like I was about to be made an accomplice to something preposterous .
