[Serial Version Started] Breaking Off the Engagement? Fine, but Why Are You Taking My Staff?

# Translation The serialized version has also begun! This is a continuation after this short story. https://ncode.syosetu.com/n7376kx/ Alicia, who practices spirit magic—summoning and contracting with spirits by striking the ground with her staff—was called the "Spirit Princess" because of her power. However, she is forced into an unwanted engagement with a prince who seeks to use that power for war. Alicia, who refuses to turn spirits into instruments of war, steadfastly continues to reject cooperation. But finally, the exasperated prince declares her a traitor, breaking the engagement and banishing her from the country. Alicia, finding this arrangement rather convenient, readily accepts and prepares to leave. However, the last words the prince speaks to her are completely unexpected. "Wait. Leave that staff behind."
