Transferred to Another World and Became a Teacher Chapter 70 - At the Imperial Castle

Although the first day's tour of the Holy City had a few disturbances, the students seed quite satisfied. We decided to stay the night at the imperial castle. Ayle and the others discussed the cityscape and the food they had tried in a guest room with an unusually high ceiling.

Shenley seed quite nervous about staying in the imperial castle of her country, but the other students didn't seem particularly uneasy.

"I guess it's natural to feel nervous about staying in the castle. I'm a bit nervous too, so I understand."

As soon as Strass and Eliza heard , they gave a suspicious look.

"Are you really nervous?"

"You don't show it at all, Aoi-san."

With a wry smile, I stood up from my chair and said, "I'm human too after all. Okay, I'm going to take a walk to calm my nerves."

I left the guest room. The two soldiers standing outside noticed when I opened the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I'd like to get so fresh air outside."

"Then please allow to guide you."

One of the soldiers started walking in front of . I'd have preferred to walk alone if they had just told the location, but it seed difficult to move freely within the imperial castle.

I walked down unnecessarily spacious corridors and opened a large double door on the first floor of the castle. What ca into view appeared to be a lush garden. There was a fountain in the center and green hedges forming low walls.

It was exactly what soone would imagine a courtyard in a noble's mansion to look like.

In the courtyard, a young woman in a beautiful dress was walking by the fountain. She was dressed in a pure white outfit like a wedding dress, and her wavy golden hair swayed as she moved. She appeared to be in her late teens. Two soldiers in silver armor stood nearby, along with a woman who seed to be a maid.

As I watched, the woman in the dress noticed and turned around.

"Princess Rose." One of the soldiers guiding knelt on the spot. It seed she was a mber of the imperial family.

Just to be safe, I quickly straightened my posture and bowed.

The woman called Rose raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

I raised my head. "I am a teacher from the magic academy of the Verted Kingdom. My na is Aoi Konominato."

"Verted Kingdom… Does that an Fiddiq Academy? You must be quite talented, though you seem rather young." Rose began to examine with great interest and walked towards .

The soldier kneeling in front of her hurriedly raised his head. "P-Princess Rose, Aoi-dono is one of the few senior teachers at Fiddiq Academy and has co to further enhance the magical standards of the Maple Leaf Holy Empire…"

The soldier explained as if to defend , but when he t Rose's eyes, his deanor changed. He beca flustered and finally bowed his head again.

She narrowed her eyes and let out a soft harrumph.

"Senior teacher, I believe our country also has a magician in that position. Well, it's fine. More importantly…" Rose muttered as if trying to recall sothing and continued walking towards .

She then looked down at the kneeling soldier's head.

"What were you trying to say to ? That she's a guest, so I should bow to her?" she scolded the soldier, her expression stern, her voice filled with irritation.

"N-no, not at all…!" the soldier stamred while trembling.

I felt sorry for him and wondered if there was anything I could do, but Rose suddenly began chanting. After a short chant, she pointed one hand at the soldier's head. "Know your place, [Ice Sculpture, Frozen]."

Ice began to form around the trembling, kneeling soldier.

I imdiately cast a counterspell. "[Fire Circle, Red Circle]."

A red line traced a small circle around the soldier, and a thin wall of flas shot out like a laser beam, lting the ice instantly.

Rose seed to have tried to encase the soldier in a block of ice, but he was unhard.

The soldier looked around in surprise.

Rose lifted her gaze and stared at with an expression devoid of emotion. "Was that a chantless spell? Or are you using a magical item equivalent to the imperial family's treasures?"

I t her gaze. "It was chantless."

She tilted her head slightly and smirked. "I see… Chantless… Chantless, huh?"

She repeated the word as if mulling it over, then turned her back to . "That was interesting. You must visit the academy in the Holy City."

With that, Rose quietly walked away.
