The Emperor, now without evidence, turned away and left. He had hoped to get evidence of treason, as he was suspicious of the Baron's continuous visits. But thought it was quite common for nobles to watch their kids practicing swordsmanship, as the Baron pressed this matter.
With no other choice, he decided to leave. As he left, he glared at Sir Alfred and the Baron as if he had missed a grand opportunity to uncover their disloyalty.
Elmer sighed with relief after the Emperor left. Confirming that the Emperor had boarded the carriage, both Sir Alfred and Baron Andrei rushed to the closet in confusion. When they opened the door, they also saw nothing. With a hint of panic, they searched for Alicia.
Alicia, who could see both of them, shouted,
" Sir, Uncle, I am right in front of you.... Can't you both see me? What is happening?"
The Baron, who seemed to have heard Alicia's shouting as a muffled voice, said,
" Alicia, is that you? Where are you? Why is your voice muffled?" This further confused Sir Alfred as he could hear nothing.
Just at that time, the Count, who received Baron Andrei's message, rushed in. He sighed with relief,
" Thank Goodness, you all are alright... hmm.. where is Alicia? Did the Emperor find her? What happened? Why are you all so confused?"
The Baron explained the situation. He also mentioned Alicia's muffled voice. When the Count came near to the closet, he also heard a muffled voice saying,
"Grandpa... What is happening? Why can't anybody see me?"
The Count, now also confused, suddenly remembered something. He said,
"Alicia, dear, did you see a flash of light?"
Alicia replied,
" Yes... When the Emperor's knight was opening the closet, I desperately wished to just vanish and be out of their vision. Then suddenly a flash of light appeared and no one could now see me... "
The Count Said,
"Alicia, now listen to me carefully. Imagine or wish to appear in front of everyone, just as desperately as you did before."
Alicia did as she was told. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, revealing Alicia. Everyone was relieved. The Baron asked the Count,
"Father, what just happened?"
The Count explained,
"Looks like Alicia inherited her mother's blood. What she did now was Magic. And not just any magic, Concealing magic. It is a kind of magic that a person can only inherit at birth. This isn't surprising. after all, Isabella was very strong."
The Baron's expression changed from happy to disappointment. He said,
"That would mean she can't use divine powers. Now what?"
The Count calmly said,
" Let's wait and see."
Alicia, who was also happy hearing she had these special powers, was now sad. But she asked the Count,
"Grandpa, how was my mom in her days? You said she was very powerful... and could tell me more about my power?"
The Count started explaining about the late Archduchess.
