CH 1

Apparently, I was Framed

A pile of junk named “Research Results” left by the old court mages.

While rummaging through the junk in an unopened warehouse called the archives, I found something.

It was a seed as big as a thumbnail, preserved in a clear glass jar.

I like plants.

Or rather, I specialize in them.

I think I know every plant seed in this world.

Just by looking at the seed, I can guess what kind of plant it is to some extent.

「….what’s, this?」

And yet I had no idea what this seed was.

It is silver and it has a faint blue glow.

It was so distinctive, so beautiful.

My curiosity is tingling. Good, it might be a new species.

「Great, this could be a research subject….」

Then, it happened.

The door of the room opened violently with a bang.

The royal knights rushed in.

「Don’t move! Hands in the air!」

I see.

I, court mage Riito Ricart, realized.

---it looks like I’ve been framed.

TN: Short right? This is the 2nd shortest chapter. Normal chapter is at least twice as long as this one so don’t be disappointed too much.
