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

Are you...

an angel?

THE FATED MAGICAL PRINCESS: WHO MADE ME A PRINCESS

ANGEL

Whatever it might be, I thought if I worked hard enough, I'd be able to do it.

But I was entirely mistaken.

Mister Wizard!

Your sense of responsibility is severely lacking!

Are you still insisting that I teach you every little thing?

It doesn't have to be every little thing.

But I'm new to this! Can't you be a little nicer to me?

Magic is the act of using your magical energy to set the necessary elements to work.

Before you do that, you must become friendly with those elements...

through your own efforts.

Stop spouting nonsense!

You are a genius in so many different ways!

Don't laugh at me! Please just teach me seriously!

You make me do things, but you don't do anything yourself!

Magical energy is something we're born with, and everyone uses it differently.

For example...

This is how I do it, but not how you do it.

You have to acquire it on your own,

or else it will never truly be yours.

Wait, I have to do it all on my own? You won't even teach me the basic trick to it?

That's right.

You must acquire it yourself.

It's all too vague! Give me details!

Do you admit that you're an idiot?

Does the pomegranate displease you?

No, I'm just talking to the pomegranate.

I was asking it to split itself open.

My apologies. How rude of me.

If it's that taxing, then don't force it.

Think of a different way to address your magical energy issue.

It's all right!

I'll figure it out myself!

I'm so tired!

Such bad manners for a princess.

The problem is your teaching, don't you think?

This is how magic is taught. And it was the same 400 years ago.

- You mean you learned like this, too? - Yes.

That's right.

He has lived a very long time, after all.

I don't trust you yet, you know.

I don't know who you are or where you're from.

Where were you born? What's your full name? What do you do?

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

Is that all? Isn't there anything else?

Yes, that's all.

You're infuriating. If I'd known how much trouble you are,

I'd have asked for Mister Snowy's boy instead.

Oh, Is that so?

He seems so much more understanding than you are.

He isn't arrogant like you.

And he isn't selfish, either.

He might try to understand the person he's with and be nice to Raven, too!

Oh, if only I weren't so biased against Mister Snowy.

Just because the boy is his son doesn't mean he has a nasty personality.

Wh-What is it?

It sounds like you desperately want to become friends with that man's son.

So? What of it?

Then I will grant your wish.

Wh-Wh-What do I do?

What kind of magic should I use at a time like this?!

I-I can't think of anything!

Oh, no! I'm so sorry!

Are you...

A-An angel?

Wait. That hair color... Those eyes...

Is this Duke Alpheus's son, Ijikiel?

That Lucas! He really sent me to the duke's house?

Pardon me for asking, but are you...

an angel?

What do I do? I can't tell him who I really am.

Have I frightened you?

I'll stand a little further away.

How is this?

Yes...

A-As you say, I am an angel.

This is so embarrassing, but all I can do is try to gloss over everything.

Jewel-like... blue eyes.

The jeweled eyes that only direct descendants of the imperial line possess...

This is Princess Athanasia of the Obelia Empire.

Of course, Lady Angel.

Oh! Why did you fall out of the sky?

Ijikiel!

Ijikiel!

Ijikiel, so this is where you've been.

Father.

What are you doing here on your own?

Nothing. I was just doing a little thinking.

That was close. If he'd found me, things would've gotten complicated.

Seeing them like this, those two look exactly alike.

Are you displeased with the plans for you to study abroad in Arlanta?

I'm not displeased. I'm worried for Jennette.

She's cried and said over and over that she doesn't want us to be apart.

I've told you. There's no need for you to cater to everything she says.

Instead of her selfish whims,

you must think of the prosperity of our family.

You understand, don't you?

Yes, I understand.

I had planned for you to be the princess's study companion.

If you'd captured the princess's favor, there'd be no need for you to study abroad.

But for some reason,

the princess seems to see me as an enemy.

Because I knew what Mister Snowy's intentions were.

Father, the princess has the right to choose for herself.

We can't force her.

You're right.

Have you finished packing?

You'll be leaving soon.

Father!

I can study in Obelia, too!

Won't you please reconsider sending me to study in Arlanta?

If you want things to go as you wish,

you need to gain the skills to make it happen.

That man...

Are you all right?

My apologies. I'm fine.

I didn't mean to overhear, but...

It's all right. It wasn't anything I wouldn't want you hearing.
