Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 78 Flower Magician
 
In the past, the Kingdom of Bilsen would only mourn when a wise king passed away.

However, this time, the grief of the whole country came from the death of a veteran minister who had served three dynasties.
Merlin, the flower magician.
He improved the lives of the kingdom's residents and brought mid-level magic, which was previously beyond the reach of ordinary people, into every household in the form of props. His kindness even spread beyond the Kingdom of Bilsen to further places.

King Andrew knew that Merlin was a great magician who truly cared about the world.
His philosophy is that magic should improve people's lives, making them better and happier, so Merlin spent half a century as the chief magician of the court studying magic props.
Therefore, it was only natural that Merlin's death shocked the entire kingdom.

Although Merlin's last words said that he did not ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) like a grand funeral, as soon as the news spread, everyone would come to express their condolences for the passing of the great wizard from the bottom of their hearts.
"…Dust to dust, earth to earth, the holy soul has been called by the Lord, and has stopped his busy life on earth and returned to the Father's arms. His holy body will eventually be immortal, and his soul in heaven will eventually be happy and satisfied. His relatives, friends, brothers and sisters in the Lord will bid him farewell here. Rest in peace, Merlin!"
At the funeral ceremony, upon hearing of Merlin's death, the cardinal sent by the church personally presided over Merlin's funeral. According to Merlin's will, he had chosen a place for himself to be buried after his death.

Merlin was buried on an ordinary hillside, surrounded by forests and with green grass on the hillside in the middle. The priests of the church said that this was indeed a good place for the soul to rest in peace.
King Andrew was even willing to bury Merlin in the family tomb. Ecrecia burst into tears. King Andrew knew that in his daughter Ecrecia's heart, she always regarded Merlin, who had watched her grow up, as a family member.
Unfortunately, Merlin never married.

He never married and had no direct heirs, but King Andrew was certain that Merlin's name would be remembered by all.
There was no conspiracy involved in Merlin's death. Doctors confirmed that Merlin died of natural causes. Although Eclecia's power extended Merlin's life, he was still a mortal after all, and his body functions had reached their limits.
The hillside was crowded with citizens of the Kingdom of Bilsen. People were crying, but they all believed that the great wizard Merlin died happily and peacefully.

King Andrew, Ecrecia and Slude could all attest to this, Merlin's death was painless, he seemed to have fallen asleep, said goodnight to everyone who loved him, and then fell into a long sleep and never woke up again.
King Andrew ordered a tomb to be built for Merlin, and according to Merlin's request, the tomb maintained a simple and frugal style.
only……
"It's a pity that person didn't come..."

After Merlin was buried, the cardinal allowed all the attendees of the funeral to observe a moment of silence, and Andrew expressed his feelings at this time.
"Father? Who are you waiting for?"
"I'm not waiting...iit’s Sir Merlin, He should be waiting for someone."

King Andrew responded to Ecrecia's doubts with a sigh. He lent his majestic body to his daughter and let her wet his luxurious clothes with her tears.
Many people have been discussing why Merlin chose to remain single for his entire life. Some say that Merlin, who had studied magic, would not look down on ordinary women. Others say that Merlin had a big heart and was so concerned about people's happiness that he neglected his own life.
But King Andrew knew very well that Merlin had someone he loved, but his love was destined to be unrequited.

Merlin grows older with the years, but the one he loves remains young.
A guard in charge of maintaining public order came up to Slude and said a few words to her. Merlin's will hoped that Slude would inherit the position of chief magician of the kingdom's court. Now that Merlin's soul has passed away, Slude has become one of the most influential people in the Kingdom of Bilsen.
Slude wiped away her tears. Now that her master was gone, she had to be strong.

"I understand... I will report this to His Majesty the King."
Slud came to King Andrew.
"Your Majesty, there is a magician outside who wants to see you."

"Magician? Could it be...?"
Slude nodded slightly and said the magician's name.
King Andrew ordered his guards to clear a path to allow the visiting wizard to approach Merlin's tomb.

Although she didn't get to see Merlin for the last time before his death, she still came after all.
In other words, when the witch met Merlin five months ago, she had already predicted Merlin's longevity.
People were talking about the visiting wizard girl. They had never seen this person before. The wand in the girl's hand was very strange, with a broom at the end. Not many people knew that the person who taught Merlin magic was a witch. People immersed in sadness ignored the face of the girl under the wizard hat.

The witch walked to the grave, where Merlin's name was engraved, along with an epitaph dedicated to him.
The witch looked the same as when they first met, neither her appearance nor her attire had changed, but the stupid disciple she had saved was no longer in this world.
The witch, who did not shed tears, stretched out her white palm and used the lines on her fingertips to feel the name engraved on the tombstone.

However, a light suddenly burst out from the base of the tombstone.
"That is——"
Slude exclaimed. Those were the alchemical materials she had found according to Merlin's request during the last moments of her master's life.

——In an instant.
The whole hillside was covered with flowers.
The irises blooming all over the mountains are the witch's favorite bouquet.

The witch stood there in a daze. This did not belong to any magic sequence, and the only answer was that someone had researched the magic of flowers and gave it to someone.
It was not until then that people remembered the title of the chief magician of the court.
The flower magician.

No one knows why Merlin calls himself this.
Although there is a title called Great magician, he insists on calling himself flower magician, just like a magician. Does this title have any special meaning to Merlin?
At this moment, everyone is embraced by the fragrant flowers.

The witch clustered in the center of the irises is like a princess, and these irises will never wither.
——I have already thought of a name for you to use when you graduate from here on out.
——The name given by the teacher? I am all ears.

——The Flower Magician.
——No! It sounds like a girl!
The magician who made the flowers bloom has a wish.

If possible, I hope that many years from now, when someone mentions the Flower Magician, a girl can proudly say:
That person is my disciple.
"...Goodbye, my stupid disciple."

Your whole life.
My farewell.
