Chapter 121

"Along with Leshuan's video, we've also prepared a recording of people from the Magician's Village speaking," I said.

It wasn’t just magical devices that were being made in the village. While malicious rumors about magicians spread widely among the nobility, few had actually met one. Eiren was nothing like the wicked sorcerer the rumors described, which left many who met him bewildered. The same could be said of the people living in the village. While they may have seemed terrifying in the rumors, they were just regular people when seen in person.

The video would bridge this gap perfectly, reducing the disparity between perception and reality.

The best way to influence public opinion is to strike first. Before the royal family could take further action, we had to do everything we could from our side.

"We'll produce the video today and release it tomorrow," I explained.@@novelbin@@

"And I’ll distribute it once it’s ready," Werna confirmed.

"And I’ll return with the video of my research with my father. I’ll leave right away," Eiren said, bowing slightly. "I’ll be off, then."

Eiren gave a brief farewell and left the room, the tension between him and Werna still unresolved. The way Werna gazed after him with a longing expression made it clear that their relationship was still in flux.

"He said he'd give me an answer when he returns," Werna murmured, noticing my glance.

"I promised to work hard, so I need to be prepared," she added.

"…"

"In two days, I’ll host a tea party at the ducal estate. Would you and Lady Leshuan be able to attend?" Werna's decisiveness was impressive. Though one would expect it to take longer to organize such an event, she was moving quickly.

"Bring the video to the ducal estate by tomorrow. I’ll make sure it’s shown at the party," she continued.
