The next morning, Vio got up at the crack of dawn. He blinked away his sleep with a yawn, dressing quickly before leaving his room.

“I ended up reading books until morning again,” Vio muttered to himself. “It’s a relief that nobody was scheduled to visit today.”

He slowly descended the stairs leading to the entrance hall. He had come up with a new idea last night, so he was reading books in order to reinforce his knowledge. 

Spirit magic drew his interest. Using a simple magic circle as the basis, he added to its structural formula. The changes this brought were visible immediately. It was just like science. Only, it didn’t require chemicals. Vqjil

For the spell that created butterflies from particles of light, Vio first drew a magic circle to summon light as the base. From there, he altered the structural formula to create a small particle of light instead. He continued making changes so that the light particle floated for a fixed time, then changed its shape into a butterfly, then caused it to form petals of light in the butterfly’s wake. He could alter the structural formula of the magic circle depending on whether he wanted to produce large or small light particles, few or many. All of this piqued his interest.

How should I change the structural formula to alter the color of light?

Last night, once his thoughts had wandered into spirit magic territory, he grew so absorbed that he forgot to sleep on time.

Once Vio reached the bottom of the stairs wrapped up in a good mood, he caught sight of Ed through the large window in the entrance hall. Ed was crouching as he worked in the garden. Vio opened the window, letting the chilly and fresh morning air in. He then said, “Good morning, Ed. You started working already?”

“No. You weren’t. I was reading books until a short while ago.”

Shifting his gaze towards the flowerbed, Vio found that Ed had planted a shrub at the center and was in the middle of surrounding it with flowers of different hues, creating a color gradation. There was only one third left until his work concluded.

“Ed, I understand your feelings, but do take appropriate breaks while you work.” Wgm4Sw

“Yes, Young Master. I’ll be careful. I will take a proper rest after I finish up here.”

Chuckling lightly, Vio said, “That’s fine then. Sorry for disturbing you. You can go back to work.”

“No, you’re not disturbing me at all, Young Master! I’m sure that nobody in this mansion ever found Young Master a bother,” said Ed, bowing in one swift move. He then crouched with his back to Vio and continued planting flowers. 

As Vio was closing the window, the view of the garden captivated him. ykceTN

“It’s so beautiful…” he whispered.

It would surely feel pleasant to take a stroll outside. The fingertips of his left hand traced the windowpane.

Should I give it a try going outside? Yeah, just a little. Only one step.

He quietly moved towards the door. His left hand gripped the closed window frame, starting to tremble contrary to his will. Vio was just shy of stepping on the ground outside the mansion before he retracted his leg, biting his lips hard. tDX0RH

Vio released a breath that he didn’t realize he was holding. “So it’s really no good…”

He felt miserable. As he reached out with his right hand to the opened window on his other side, someone called out to him from behind, “Lord Violant? Good morning. You woke up pretty early.”

“Sir Legion…”

“Please call me Legi.” Legion offered a refreshing smile, placed a hand on his chest, and performed a standard knight’s salute. Vio shut the window with a sharp click. yQtRYE

“These flowers are beautiful, my lord. The flower bed in this mansion is truly magnificent. Even an amateur like me is charmed.”

Ignoring Legion’s flowery words, Vio proceeded for his laboratory.

“Lord Violant?” Legion called out.

Yet Vio just ignored him. khKs1M

Damn it! Of all things, why did he have to see that!

Vio couldn’t let the knight examine him. At present, his face was as pale as a sheet, heart thrashing against his chest. His body drenched in cold sweat.

“This stupid son! Your retainer even betrayed you! Just how shameful can you be?! Pathetic!”

As his father’s voice had echoed in his head sharply. Vio screwed his eyes tight against this bitter memory. j8gVm5

Translator ramblings:

Added some useless ramblings in the previous chapters for no reason~

I wonder if ‘laboratory’ actually sounds out-of-place? Since the setting is the medieval era and laboratory sounds kind of… science… Decided to go with ‘laboratory’! Thank you for kind readers for sharing their opinion with me!!

And this chapter is so short! Good job, author-sama! Keep this up! Muah muah!! //killedbythereaders gHdb9i
