Chapter 30: Prized Wife

I am in a party.

A night party that is being opened inside the palace.

The organizer was the King, therefore, almost all of the participants seems to be nobles or wealthy people, they looked like celebrities.

Of course, the venue was also extremely flamboyant.

Wawa

Sylvia who was beside me was being taken aback.

I took her with me, wearing a dress from the Dress Up magic, but she was panicking to the scale of the party.

L-Lucio-sama

Un?

I think that I am out of place

Thats not true, you know

But, everybody around are all grown-ups, they are all ladies and gentlemen. There is no one else childish like me

If you say that, there isnt another kid other than me, right. Well, dont mind it too much. Sylvia is my wife, so you should just act in a stately manner

Yes, I understand

Sylvia nodded, but she was still too stiff.

I should be in manner, it was clear that she was nervous thinking of that.

Ah! Lucio-sama, I will go get drinks!

She said that, and*PataPata*she ran.

That can be left to the venue personnel though.

Well, rather than being nervous at all times, it might be better to let Sylvia do something to make her distracted.

And when I was looking at that from far away, one man approached Sylvia with dispute.

It was a young man at around the same with Isaac about 16-7, and the clothes he was wearing looks expensive even from where I look from far away.

I approached, and called out from the behind.

Nene, what do you want with my wife?

I talked to him in child-mode.

Lucio-sama!

Lucio-samaaa?

Sylvia ran towards where I was, and the man looked at me as if to measure me.

What happened?

Etouhm

Why is a kid like you in here? Do you know what kind of place this is and what todays event is?

Im sorry, I dont know

Honestly, I really thought of that.

Is something going to happen? I came here because I received an invitation from the King, is there some kind of real meaning for it.

I guessed so. Its something kids like you wont know about. Kids like you should hurry up and go home, just go play house or whatever

The young man said that, and went away with a stride.

He then calls out to a young lady at around the same age that was in a little far away, and talked joyfully.

Lets go back

Yes

I took Sylvia with me, and return to where we were earlier.

Im sorry, Lucio-sama

Un?

Its because Im a kid, Im causing problems for Lucio-sama right

Its not like Im being troubled at all

Unbut

Sylvia looked at the grown-ups.

When I followed her sight, I found out that she was staring at a very grown-up beauty.

I want grow up faster

You want to try?

Eh?

Sylvia was surprised, and stared at me as if to confirm.

Do I want to try, what do you mean Lucio-sama

Do you want to be a grown-up beauty like that, I mean. Using my magic

Ah!Lucio-samas magic

Sylvias eyes shined in an instant, but she soon looked down.

It is okay, even if I become a grown-up, it is not like I am going to be a beauty like her

Un? Thats not true at all. When Sylvia becomes a grown-up, youre going to be more beautiful than that person. I, who looks at Sylvia everyday, can guarantee

But

Seeing is believing

I stopped Sylvias words, reached out my hand and used magic.

Some people nearby was surprised. It was because I suddenly started using magic.

But ignoring that, I casted magic on Sylvia.

Fake Growth

Soon after the light of the magic enveloped Sylvia, her body grew up.

The 9-year old body of Sylvia grew up in an instant.

She grew up to her 16 year old appearance that I had specified.

Sylvia looked at herself, and looked down at me with a surprised face.

T-This is?

Its a magic that changes the appearance to look like a grown up. I specified it to about 16-years old. It means, how you look right now, is how Sylvia would really look like after growing up to 16-years old

Amazingthere is also this kind of magic huh

Sylvia sighs in wonder. I stared at her intently.

Un, beautiful

Eh?

Youre as beautiful as I thought, Sylvia. Let me say, you are more beautiful than anyone in here

T-T-T-T-Thats not true desu

Sylvia blushes and sways off her hands. But, that was my honest opinion.

The Sylvia right now is beautiful. With no doubt, she was more beautiful than any other woman in here today.

Because she was a beautiful girl from the start, she became a beauty by dressing up, but I really think that even without something that, she is the most beautiful.

That is true. I am a happy man, because I was able to marry Sylvia

UuRu, Lucio-samaa

She blushed on a grand scale, Sylvia made a very troubled face.

But, it doesnt seem that she didnt like it.

Come now, stop being shy. As my wife, please make a more beautiful expression

More, desu ka?

Thats right, more beautiful that I can be proud of

I-I will do my best!

Sylvia said that, had a deep breath, and made an expression.

Those words right now are magic words, magic words in a different meaning.

For me, that word, was very effective to Sylvia.

She withdraws the blushing face she had earlier, and made a composed expression.

Sylvia looked more and more beautiful. Just talking in her shoes, if she was like this, I think that I would be the one whos not worth of her.

I should also use magic to myself, and at least be in the same age, at the time when I was thinking of that.

Beautiful lady

A voice that I was familiar of, called out to Sylvia.

It was the young man earlier. He, who came from over there, calls out to Sylvia with a some kind of cheesy lines.

Are you talking, to me?

Who else there could be. Today is a wonderful day, to be able to meet a beautiful person like you

Eto

Sylvia was troubled.

My name is Diego. If it was okay, can you please let me know your name

The young manDiego made a bow with a noble-like gesture, and stared at Sylvia.

Sylvia became more and more troubled, and looked at me.

In a different meaning from earlier, I knew that she was troubled. However I looked at it, he was clearly smooth-talking her, its natural to be troubled.

Nene, what do you want with my wife?

Mu! What, you again huh

Diego looked at me with cold eyes.

I told you to go home because youre out of place you brat

Im sorry

I mean, what did you say right now, wife?

Un, wife. Come here

I called Sylvia to come, Sylvia made a smile, and came to my side.

We couldnt cling our arms because of the height difference, but instead we held hands.

Its my wife. Ne! Sylvia

Yes, Lucio-sama

Youre beautiful, Sylvia

I am beautiful only because of Lucio-sama

Sylvia said that, and stared at me with as if she was truly a very obedient wife.

Giggling laughter could be heard around.

Theyre laughing at Diego who failed at smooth talking.

Diego trembled, and reddened his face.

The difference from earlier was, he was embarrassed because he was rejected by Sylvia who looks nubile.

W-Who the heck are you really, why is a kid like you here!

He asked with an unreasonable anger.

It is because I invited him

WhatYour Majesty!

The King came unnoticeably, and Diego who saw that bows his head in a hurry.

I am very sorry Your Majesty, without knowing it is Your Majestys guest

He is also not my guest though

Eh?

Diego got confused, the King talked to me.

It is good you came, Senjukou

Senjukou? Whats that?

A duke that can use a thousand magic, Senjukou. It is your noble title, I thought of it. If you do not like it, I can think of it again

Uun? Its cool so thats fine. Thank you, Your Majesty

Umu. I heard the conversation, is it true that, that lady is your wife?

Un, I casted magic on her for a bit, but she really looks like this

I said that, and released the magic on Sylvia.

Sylvia who returned to her original 9-year old appearance was relieved, and clings her arms with mine.

Hahaha, I see, you look good with each other

Thank you

It is not only you look good with each other. A duchess this lovely is the treasure of our country

That isthank you very much

Sylvia got shy.

By the way, what was the magic right now?

Its a magic that disguises to a grown up appearance. Just like this

I used Fake Growth once more. This time, I casted it to both me and Sylvia.

We now looked like a 16-year old couple.

A handsome man and a beautiful lady that goes together huh

And that magic right now, that is an advanced magic that has only a few that can use

Senjukous name is not just for show, huh

Voices of praise was raised around us. I was alright about it, but Sylvia entered her shy-mode again.

And just like that, together with Sylvia, I had a small talk with the King.

Diego who showed a huge embarrassment, quietly, ran away with his tail between his legs.
