The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess (魔法公主的小烦恼)

THE FATED MAGICAL PRINCESS: WHO MADE ME A PRINCESS

CLAUDE'S PRECIOUS MEMORY

Is something happening today?

It sounds so lively out there.

Today is the harvest festival.

Would you like to go out, Your Highness?

It really is bustling, isn't it?

Your Highness, you have a guest.

Papa!

Before you left, you made a promise, didn't you?

I believe that daily reports were the condition for your leaving the palace.

Oh, um, I...

Oh, no!

So much happened when we arrived that I completely forgot to write letters to Papa!

I just forgot...

Anyway, what brings you here so suddenly?

Today is the festival celebrating the autumn harvest. It's an important day.

His Majesty will be performing a ritual at the magic wellspring.

Oh! He will?

This time, you will accompany me.

It's His Majesty and the princess!

She's adorable!

Today, the District of Aug

welcomes His Imperial Majesty the Emperor and our princess,

who will together perform the ceremony for the sacred offering.

This, the first wheat of the year to ripen,

is a symbol of Aug's abundant harvest and hope.

Your Imperial Majesty, Your Highness, please offer this to the magic wellspring.

May Obelia shine brightly and guide us to everlasting prosperity.

Our great emperor!

Our precious princess!

To abundance and hope, and to our prosperity!

May Obelia's brilliance be everlasting!

With both His Majesty and the princess here, Aug will certainly find prosperity!

You wore them here?

Yes! I'm very fond of them because they're from you.

They suit you.

Your Majesty, Your Highness!

We are forbidden to pass beyond this point,

so we ask that you proceed on your own from here.

We will await you here.

May Obelia shine brightly.

When I followed the traces of black magic,

I never imagined they'd lead me back to my own tower.

What a recklessly audacious fellow.

Invading my archives like this...

Let's have a look.

As I suspected. He was lured in by the books on black magic.

What could he be plotting?

Athanasia? Why is she here?

- The magic wellspring is beneath the tower? - Yes.

At the top of the tower lives a great wizard who has protected

the wellspring for generations.

A great wizard?

I told you, didn't I? I am a great wizard.

Lucas is the wizard who protects the wellspring?

Even though all he does is laze around all day?

It can't be him.

So this...

is the legendary magic wellspring?

The birthplace of souls, the source of all life...

It's a sacred place, but for some reason, I feel a pain deep in my chest.

This way, Athanasia.

This magical energy is so warm!

It's as if it's alive.

It seems to be quite taken with you.

What are these lights?

Power that has overflowed from the wellspring.

It's the source of the magic that ties all things together.

It reads the human heart and answers only the purest of prayers.

Now, let us begin.

O magic wellspring!

I, Claude de Alger Obelia,

as representative of the Obelia Empire, offer you my heartfelt gratitude.

Now, you do the same.

Right.

O sacred wellspring,

Athanasia de Alger Obelia

offers you, who gives life to all things,

this humble gift.

Papa! The wellspring accepted it!

- Athanasia! - Athanasia!

I feel...

dizzy.

I'm...

underwater?

Papa!

Don't worry.

Something isn't right.

We're getting out of here now!

There are more and more dream lotuses!

Papa!

Athanasia! Athanasia!

Papa!

Papa!

Lucas? Why are you here?

Because I saw that you were in danger.

In the water, the dream lotuses...

Your hair ribbon has been tampered with. It turned the dream lotuses into monsters.

That's what attacked the two of you.

What happened to Papa?

He's trapped.

His protection magic was triggered.

Right now, he's sleeping within his own barrier.

What?!

Papa! Wake up!

I tried to enter his subconscious to wake him,

but only those he trusts with all his heart can enter.

If I broke the barrier by force, it would damage his mind.

In trying to protect me, he trapped himself.
