113 – I’m warning you.
Lfia Raimi Marcos.
The young empress of the current empire, Ophelia’s younger sister and successor, was in great trouble.
‘What…What should I say?’
Honestly, at first, I wanted to say something.
No matter what, how dare you say an unspeakable insult to yourself, a member of the royal family of a foreign country.
Well, in fact, it can be said that this incident was not Kyouwentos’ fault at all.
She was the one who ignored the words to wait quietly and went to the battlefield on her own, and it was he who saved her from almost death.
Rather, it is a situation where even giving a reward is not enough.
… Well, she doesn’t know what she’ll say if her sister finds out about her foolish behavior, so it would be difficult to give her a reward outright.
Anyway, I wanted to say something that might have been a bit harsh.
For her, who had grown up to be a princess in her own right, these were harsh words that she had never heard before.
So, on the day she returned to Fortress Arianrhod, the center of the County of Wentoth, she would tell her when she saw her face that she would go with her.
Thoughts like that, I came out and saw him…
No words came out.
I walked forward with great strides and confidently said thank you with a little bit of arrogance…
No, even though I tried to say a word of protest, I was blocked from going in front of him.
She just looked at him like that.
Did he notice his gaze at that time? He turned his head and met her eyes.
‘Ah…!’
His heart sank, like a child caught playing by his parents.
He wanted to look away and pretend that nothing had happened, but he couldn’t move, as if his body was paralyzed.
In fact, I felt that my gaze was gaining strength.
I thought they were going to stand like that for a few seconds, but he lowered his gaze first.
‘Ah.’
I thought it was a little disappointing.
‘Ugh…Ugh…’
Only his heart was pounding incessantly.
Princess Lefia could not come to her senses due to a sensation she had never felt before.
‘It’ll be okay, right? Honestly, I just saved his life.’
Well, given the situation, I got a little angry and spoke a bit harshly, but he saved my life…
And, to be honest, I think the problem is that Her Highness Luna asked her to stay still, but she showed up on her own accord…
So, I wanted to think optimistically that it would probably be okay.
But, why are you glaring at me with your eyes so tense? It must make me anxious.
In the end, it was I who gave in first.
Something pricked me a little, and I also thought it was a bit wrong to keep looking at the woman…
Anyway, I lowered my gaze and looked away.
Then, what came into view was Sir.
“Dad?”
He must have sensed me looking at him, as Sir rushed over and stood in front of me.
Sir smiled happily as he stretched out his hand and stroked the soft light green hair on his head.
…Wow, my anxiety-ridden heart is being healed.
When I stopped stroking him for a while, I looked away from Sir, who was clinging to his leg.
Slowly, it was time to prepare for the soldiers’ withdrawal.
Now all we had to do was talk about the compensation issue as soon as the villagers returned and then go back.
Just slightly, the wind felt colder than usual.
“What’s going on? You did all the contacting.”
White Magic Tower, the Magic Tower’s room.
The owner of the room and the person who has sat as the head of the magic tower for hundreds of years and has produced numerous female magicians.
Witch Chaney received a call from a long-time acquaintance.
Her acquaintances, to be honest, have never heard from her in hundreds of years.
Of course, she was never contacted by Cheyney.
Although it was possible to contact each other at any time, no one ever contacted each other.
That’s because they had a very strained relationship with each other.
Even though they had been together on a journey to subdue the Demon King, they were two people who could never be said to be on good terms.
“Chaney, there is no need for unnecessary talk.”
Saint Velia’s excited voice, nothing has changed in this b*tch.
Thinking about that, Chaney sighed heavily.
“Tell me. Where is the new World Tree?”
“Velia, you crazy b*tch, do you think I’ll tell you that?”
At Velia’s shameless words, Cheyney spat out an insult from her mouth.
“I know you caused the death of the World Tree Yggdrasil, but would you like me to tell you the whereabouts of the newly born World Tree?”
“You…!”
“Do you know how many children suffered because of your personal jealousy or greed?”
Cheyney took her anger out on her communication sphere.
This woman has always been like that.
Even 400 years ago, although she was a devout believer, she always took matters too seriously.
A fanatic? Those words are not enough to describe this woman.
In Cheney, a woman named Saint Belia was close to her crazy b*tch.
I didn’t know that she was so crazy that she almost destroyed the world.
“I don’t plan on telling a bastard like you, so don’t contact me about that.”
“You idiot? Did you say everything?!”
“Hey, isn’t it enough to talk about it? There’s a lot I want to say, but I’m just not saying it because I can’t express it in the continent’s common language.”
Cheyney, who was looking at the communication sphere with a tired expression, was about to throw away her communication sphere.
A mocking voice was heard from the communication zone.
“Ha, I didn’t like you from the beginning, you witch.”
“I guess that’s a good thing. I guess I really hated that black b*tch on the inside too.”
I was able to tolerate it until this point.
If it weren’t for the next words.
“Well, you should have known by the time you got stuck with such a beast.”
“…What?”
“I’m talking about that dirty beast. To be honest, I didn’t say it out loud at the time, but honestly, I still don’t understand what Yggdrasil was thinking when he lent his power to such a furry bastard.”
The expression disappeared from the face of Cheyney, the magic tower owner who was moving the communication port to blow it away.
“Well, originally, a b*tch like you who cheated on her lover and that furry guy were a really good couple. That’s why I didn’t like it either…”
“Shut up.”
A cold voice flowing from Cheyney.
Maybe I was slightly pushed by that voice, but the voice coming from the communication port stopped.
“I’m warning you, Velia. I could go and erase you, prepared to disappear from this world.”
“……”
“The reason I can’t do that is because I don’t have a child talented enough to take my place, is that all?”
No words came out from beyond the communication port.
Chaney continued her words.
“Velia, I really like this world where I was able to meet him.”
“…You.”
“If you try to do something useless again and endanger this world…”
Chaney said one last word and destroyed the communication port.
“At that time, I will go to erase you without any hesitation.”
County, a fortress that stands at the center and front line. Ariane Road Fortress.
In fact, it is a place that completely borders the habitat of northern monsters, so it boasts a grander size and sturdier than any other fortress.
“Wow…”
“That…It’s really big.”
So, people who come for the first time react like that.
Princess Lefia and Rosa let out exclamations.
Mr. Rush didn’t say it out loud, but his expression expressed surprise.
…Honestly, I thought they would just send those three back to the empire.
Nevertheless, it was His Majesty Luna’s decision to follow them to Arianrod Fortress.
Honestly, even if the Empire came to pick them up, Ablum was just a small village, and even if they ran away from home, they couldn’t leave people who could be called state guests alone in such a village.
And above all, as Princess Lefia said, there are plans for the kingdom, empire, and pope to gather in the near future to discuss cooperation.

…I thought it was a lie to get over the situation, but it turns out it was true.
The place was none other than the Arianrod Fortress, where Sir is located and the Pope is hiding. Emperor Ophelia is scheduled to visit as a representative of the empire in the near future, so all you have to do is take Princess Lefia then.
I am not sure when that near future will be, but until then, I have decided to protect Princess Lefia at Arianrod Fortress.
“I hope you don’t act rashly this time, Your Highness Lefia.”
“Yes…Yes…”
His Highness Luna said that while glaring at Princess Lefia with a cold expression.
During the battle with the guardian dragon, Luna is naturally furious when she learns that Princess Lefia secretly visited her and nearly died.
It is a bit tactful to interfere with the royal family of another country, but as the situation escalated, His Majesty Luna exploded with anger and held Princess Lefia captive and began to preach for a long time.
…I don’t know if it was because of that, but after the sermon ended, Princess Lefia came out of the room with a haggard look on her face, and from then on, she was in a state where she flinched when she saw Her Majesty Luna.
He was particularly impressed by Her Highness Aine, who looked at him with a pitiful expression, as if he knew what had happened to him.
After warning Princess Lufia two or three more times, Her Highness Luna left Arianrod Fortress with Her Highness Aine.
They only came to Arianrod Fortress in the name of protecting Princess Lefia, and the two had a lot of work to do as members of the royal family.
We need to inform the empire about Princess Lefia’s whereabouts, and we also need to adjust the meeting schedule in the near future.
And, the response to the church that has recently shown suspicious activity behind the scenes.
“…H-Your Majesty Lefia? You can move around freely within the fortress, but you must never leave the fortress. There are a lot of monsters.”
First of all, although I felt a bit uncomfortable, I said something to Princess Lefia.
As the count family protects him for the time being, he had to say something.
“Yes…Yes!!”
Then, Princess Le Pia was very embarrassed and stuttered.
…Was the swearing too harsh?
When I entered the Arianrod fortress, I saw a welcoming face.
The two people who are currently protecting the Pope who is hiding in the Arianrod Fortress are the Holy Knight leader Mr. Alma and the vice-leader Priest Remia.
From Priest Remia’s somewhat hurried expression, I wondered what was going on.
Priest Remia said urgently when he saw that we had returned.
“Um…There! Yesterday on this land, the World Tree’s powerful power…!”
“Ah, it’s Remia!”
As if he recognized Priest Remia, Sir spoke her name.
“Sir? Do you recognize Priest Remia?”
“Yes! I remember everything, including Remia, Alma, and Alicia!”
Sir responds like that to Riel’s surprised words.
…He remembers all the people he saw when he was young.
I’m sure he will grow up smartly. Huh.
“Stand… No way, that child… No, that person…”
Priest Remia opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at Sir.
Okay, I guess everyone who sees it for the first time has that reaction.
I think a little explanation is needed to the people remaining in the fortress.
