“Are you addicted to taking advantage of me! Introduce me properly!”
After Elsa and Charlotte bickered for a while, she finally relented and revealed Charlotte’s true identity to her mother.
“Mom, this is the magical genius from the Starsea Magic Academy that I mentioned to you before, Charlotte, although I’m not much different from her. And this maid is her exclusive maid, Miss Lillian.”
While Elsa was introducing them, Charlotte continued to glare at her with dissatisfaction. Lillian, on the other hand, politely bowed to the blue-haired Queen.
“Charlotte?” Hearing Elsa’s introduction, the blue-haired Queen’s eyes lit up, as if the name sounded very familiar. Her gaze also fell upon Charlotte’s meager body.
Charlotte noticed the strange look Elsa’s mother was giving her. It was as if she were being stared at intently by a perverted lolicon. Charlotte couldn’t help but shiver.
Seemingly intimidated by this, Charlotte hurriedly tugged on Elsa’s sleeve.
“Hey, don’t just introduce us! Introduce your mother to us too!”
“Huh? You already know she’s my mother, why do I have to introduce her again?”
Elsa truly didn’t understand why she had to go through the introduction process again. But at Charlotte’s request, she had no choice but to introduce them solemnly.
“Alright, alright, I’ll introduce you. Listen up! This is my mother, and also the supreme Queen of our Kingdom of York, Gracia York! Almost all government affairs are handled solely by my mother. Generally speaking, you should kneel when you see her, but for my sake, she has specially allowed you to remain standing. You should be grateful!”
Elsa said this with her chest puffed out proudly like a princess—no, she was a princess.
Naturally, this arrogance was quickly admonished by Gracia behind her.
“Sasha, they are your most precious friends. You can’t talk to your friends with that kind of attitude!”
Then, Gracia stepped in front of Elsa and spoke gently to Charlotte and the others.
“You don’t need to be nervous. I’m only here as Elsa’s mother to welcome you. Just make yourselves at home.”
Saying this, Gracia’s gaze fell upon Charlotte, the shortest and most conspicuous among the group of witches.
Charlotte had previously thought the name “Gracia” sounded familiar, and upon meeting Gracia’s gaze, she immediately understood who this Queen was.
In Mom Rhynes’s adventure log, a witch named Gracia Maine had appeared. She was Mom Rhynes’s senior disciple. Although she was the senior, in terms of magical talent, Rhynes was clearly superior.
After Mom Rhynes ran away from Tsumuguri City and ended up with Dad Roland, eventually transforming from a witch into the wife of a merchant, the other witches from the adventure log were never mentioned again.
Charlotte never would have thought that this Senior Gracia had also left the Starsea Magic Academy, married the King of York, became the supreme Queen, and gave birth to two lovely daughters, Alice and Elsa.
Wait, Charlotte already knew Gracia was a queen a year ago, when she fought the evil dragon with Alice.
However, at that time, her impression of Gracia was that of a witch flying around on a magic broomstick, a completely different person from the now elegant and dignified Queen. It was only natural that she didn’t connect the two at first.
“Charlotte… are you Rhynes’s daughter?” Gracia’s eyes suddenly lit up as she stared at Charlotte.
“Eh? Uh… yes… yes! Auntie Gracia still remembers Mom Rhynes?”
“How could I forget? We were the best of senior and junior disciples back then!”
Gracia smiled, then examined Charlotte’s body up and down as if appreciating a delicate antique, even leaning in to gently pinch Charlotte’s small cheek.
“I can’t believe Charlotte has grown so big!”
“Actually, I haven’t grown much since I was little! Auntie Gracia, please stop touching me; it feels a little strange.”
“Eh? You don’t like being pampered by Auntie?”
“Although my body is a little small, I don’t like being held and treated like a pet!”
Honestly, Gracia really wanted to pamper this good daughter of Rhynes’s.
After all, when Rhynes came to their palace to be Alice’s swordsmanship master, Charlotte had been abducted by her disciple, Chloe, so she never had the chance to pamper the cute daughter.
But pampering her now didn’t seem much different; Charlotte was still very cute.
Her small stature was the same as before, as if her body had stopped developing.
Under Charlotte’s protests, Gracia reluctantly let go of her.
But this gesture left Elsa dumbfounded. She couldn’t help but ask Gracia.
“Mom, you already knew Charlotte?”
“Yes. Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve told you. Do you remember the blonde older sister who taught your Sister Alice swordsmanship when you were little? That older sister is my junior disciple, Rhynes, and Charlotte is Rhynes’s daughter.”
“Eh? Does that mean my mother and Charlotte’s mother were fellow witch disciples?” Elsa looked utterly incredulous, staring at Charlotte beside her.
“What? Is it that strange that my mother and your mother were fellow disciples?”
“This plot is too ridiculous!” Elsa’s expression was one of someone who couldn’t accept it. “By the way, there isn’t some kind of marriage arrangement between me and this girl, is there? I don’t want to have anything to do with her!”
“Don’t worry, Sasha, no such thing exists between you two. Even if it did, it would be Alice and Charlotte who are paired. The one paired with you should be Rhynes’s second daughter, Shaula.”
“Uh…” Hearing Gracia’s explanation, everyone fell into a silence.
“Alright, alright, let’s not worry about that for now. You should have prepared the things I mentioned earlier, right? Let’s go in quickly!”
To break the awkward atmosphere, Elsa forcibly changed the subject and led everyone into the palace.
