─ ─ ─...... Dear Lieel,

"Huh......"

- Wake up, please.

"─ ─ Master Riel, please wake up"

"...... ugh...... ugh......"

From across the door, I can hear you calling your name.

Someone woke her from a pleasant slight sleep, and Riel woke herself up from her bet, aware of her unconsciousness, which she had not yet awakened.

Sunlight blocked by thick curtains.

The room is dim, so the environment I've been sleeping in is suitable for sleep. Even after I wake up, I'm driven by the urge to sleep a little more, but I indulge and get up.

And after a quiet stretch of his back, he sighs.

...... you fell asleep like that

"...... what is it?

"Master Lucatini said it was time to teach magic......"

"Oh...... speaking of which you did......"

So much so that I almost forgot what I promised...... was the matter of Prince Seel more shocking than I thought......

With that in mind, walking to the front of the door and hands on the door knob, Riel asks one question to the person across the door, just in case the intruder has just arrived earlier.

"What's your name?

"...... eh? Uh... I'm Ella..."

"...... can you also give me your first and last name for once?

"Yes... Lismel... Ella Lismel."

"Ella Lismel......"

...... You do have one of the servants of this castle with the same name

"Master Riel?

"Sorry, I'll open it now"

When I opened the magically restored door, a small maid of black shortcuts stood there.

"Thank you for waiting. Were you a little tired...... I overslept"

"Were you...... tired from day to day"

"No, not from everyday tiredness... I think I just wanted some time to think about it"

"I do need that kind of time."

"...... thank you"

"Um, I was wondering, how did you get my name?

"Earlier, three adventurers hired by some guy in the castle broke in, one of them was trying to assassinate me, so I magically couldn't move lightly before detaining them, and the other two would be taken down by Zita with his men, and those intruders would have been listened to by now.... that's what happened, so just to be careful, I heard your name through the door."

"When did that happen...... Dear Lieel, are you hurt?

"I don't have one. I took the lead and safely disabled it... or I'm confident that I won't suffer from abrasions if I fight squarely or with that degree of opponent."

"Dear Lieel...... Have a consciousness as the First Princess. If he gets hurt, he'll be worried about the king, and he'll cry for two days. It's a catastrophe, right?

"Phew... I know,"

To Riel, who laughed a little like a blowout, the maid gives him a strange look after he gets to sigh.

"...... Is it true...... I have no idea what that grin is all about"

"No, I laughed because I imagined your father crying. Because I know exactly......"

"Ha...... please. But it's the second-largest strength in the boulder school of magic sequence."

"Oh, thank you. Speaking of which, Gita told me the same thing."

"No, I think anyone would say. As it stands, the most combative of all the royalty in history is Master Riel. I don't think you'll ever find a princess as strong as Riel when you look around the world."

"Do you mean unusual...... That's true. Sometimes I think about it myself. But I believe that, in any case, it must be the royalty that presides over the country that must take the lead. Thousands of lives are in a position to keep them, but they don't show up on the battlefield, they just wait in the castle until the troops they send in triumph, etc....... As royalty, I can't show you as a position to carry the country. I'm still immature, but eventually, when the time comes, I can fly the Grandbell emblem first... and I want to be that strong myself... and I don't want to be in a position to be protected anymore."

"Dear Lieel......"

Burning in the back of the brain, memories of the past.

Riel was mouthing his determination, remembering it a little.

..................

............

......

─ ─ ─ Carriage on fire

─ ─ ─ An anger echoes around

─ ─ ─ Heavy iron and iron collide to produce a high sound

─ ─ ─ With screams, vivid sounds continue to echo in the eardrums that make you want to block ears where meat is torn or pierced

I didn't know what it was.

But endlessly scary.

My body doesn't move like a lie.

I can't even open my mouth.

But my eyelids can't meditate.

You should want to distract yourself from the miserable sights that spread around you.

When you're wearing such an ass cake, a young knight who doesn't even know the name of one person who can shelter himself in front of you and cut him off relentlessly.

In his eyes he had tears, bleeding from his forehead, and vomiting blood every time he coughed.

It will hurt.

It will be hard.

It will be sad.

Not if you're thinking about it that way.

And at the end of the day, 'run away', a word I said, squeezing my hand tightly in fear.

Big hands exhausted.

The warmth that I had wrapped my hands around earlier.

And like rushing me like that, I scream, 'Run,' just like all the knights who died in front of me from all the few knights who are sheltering and fighting around me.

Wild voices similar to anger.

At that moment, he was unconsciously up and running.

An endless sorrow I've never tasted before.

Crushed and disappeared in front of me, young life.

A cowardly heart wanting to escape fear quickly.

But my conscience screams, the thought, 'Shall I abandon you?'

All at once, he just hits and runs as someone's blood, not his own, rocks the seeping dress.

With every step you take barefoot, moisten your tears.

Every time I think about it.

─ ─ ─ He said it was his fault. He said it was his fault that he was weak enough to be protected.

─ ─ If you noticed, you were out of the woods.

And when I realized it, I was looking back.

There's nothing there.

Some are not sights earlier, but trees and grasses that shake in the breeze.

And your little footprint, which is proof that people have protected you and fled to cite you.

What footprints are complaining about is my weakness now--

- That's why...

..................

............

......

"Dear Lieel......? What's wrong, sir?

To Riel, suddenly silent, the maid tilts her neck.

"...... Ah, ah. No, it's nothing. Now it's time for you to excuse me... because I'm keeping Ruti waiting."

I shouldn't, I remember. And, while suppressing the feeling of getting hard, the next thing I knew, I smiled and replied that way.

With such usual riel in front of her, the maid breaks her mouth.

"Heh heh...... right....... Master Lucatini is waiting for you at the fountain in the front yard. Please go for him."

"Okay. Please get back to work."

"Yes, excuse me."

Upon hearing a response from the maid, she returns her heel and heads to the vestibule where her sister is waiting.

Footsteps are echoed from the tips and leather shoes, walking alone, in a long and wide corridor.

"Phew......"

It's no use worrying now...... now you have to face what's right in front of you. I've multiplied this time of year to let you break in, making confusion and allies suspicious of each other, and killing me, born next to the weak First Prince Louis, to inevitably give Prince Seel the right to inherit the throne... these three main purposes will be...... but this is still the preamble. I'll definitely be here soon. Before that, you have to hit something...... in this case, you have to fight with a small number of people to avoid Prince Seel looking at you...... No, you don't. If you think about it, this is no good. The best choice is...

After taking such a deep breath, I make a decision.

─ ─ I'm on my own... you're going to hit me in the hand. Now, Mr. Shun - - your father is fully committed to the development of the transferees, so I don't want to devote any extra worries, hardships, and, most importantly, personnel... because right after the guardianship gets thin, there is Prince Seel inside, so it may be decided in that gap... As one of the heirs to 'War Maiden (Valkyrie)', let's go with dignity here... with the spirit of 'One Thousand' so as not to be ashamed of the name 'War Maiden (Valkyrie)' - -

"Even if Prince Seel became king, there would be a rebellion headed by a mighty guild in those years... yes, in a small vessel like you, it means that this country is big enough to fit in - and you should teach it face to face......"

No one will even ask me about the stupidity I said to that Seel.

It's just that the stupidity is genuine to Riel, and it's also a means for him to tell himself again and consolidate his resolve.

The sunlight that illuminates the hallway and walking riel from the window reflects on the neckline, brilliant.

The inscription on it was War Maiden (Valkyrie).

─ ─ A beautiful woman on her back who grows large white wings and brilliant long swords to heaven that she holds, illuminates as if she is loved by the light from heaven.

Behind the neckline of The War Maiden (Valkyrie), sculpted with its wonderful moves, Riel Van Grandbell - whose name was engraved.

The front yard of the royal castle would be clean enough for the first visitors to wrap their tongues around it.

The baked stone slab, strewn undisturbed, has a beautiful pattern that refreshes the mind.

Also a centrally installed fountain.

It continues to exude sober and clear water.

The surface is sculpted with angels, gods, people, etc., and is made like a kind of work of art.

The breadth is twelve minutes long, and when the knights are well matched and the training field is full, it is often used for matchmaking, teaching moves to recruits, and practicing voluntarily.

Four times a week is used here in training, as the size of the army has also increased twice in recent times.

In the beginning it was forbidden to use it for training purposes the more it was found and dispersed on the spot, but there were voices from a large number of generals and knights, and it is now free to use it.

─ ─ ─ One girl stood in front of a fountain in the front yard that is rarely used in training today like that.

The girl arrived in the front yard, the moment she saw

"─ ─ Sister!

And whoever hears it sounds adorable.

Riel overflowed with laughter at such a pretty sister, too.

"Thanks for waiting, Ruti"

"Yeah...... it's okay! My sister keeps her word... trust me, I've been waiting."

─ ─ Just like Riel, a pretty neat look in white. His appearance is almost identical to that of Lieel, but if he were to be different, he would still have big, bright eyes that were annoying. Her hair, like that of Riel, is long gold.

The age is fourteen. At that age, he grew up well resembling Riel.

"Really...... that's great"

"Yeah!"

"So... uh, you want me to teach you magic today, right?

"Really! I want to be strong like your sister!

"Heh heh...... that's good. It's important to be strong... then... let's examine the magic attributes of fitness first."

"......? Treat me?

Reel began explaining to Lucatini, who unconsciously tilted her little neck.

"The aptitude magic attribute, if you say so, can be described as the person's personality, or personality"

"Hmm?...... What does magic have to do with character?

"Simply put, in the case of fire attributes, a healthy person. A gentle person for water attributes. People who are calm in the case of tree attributes. In the case of earthly attributes, it means a patient person...... To use magic, you have to condense the demonic particles in the atmosphere and then help the spirits of each attribute that floats further through nature. My preferences are broken up by the Spirit and I wish I were this person...... I don't like this person...... and I like or dislike it, so I can usually only use one attribute... basically I tend to lend strength to people similar to the Spirit's own personality, so the attributes that I can use in my personality make me different. So it's not exactly magic, it's about the Spirit and his personality."

"......? Uh...... I mean, if Mr. Spirit likes me, he can use magic?

"In short, yes. In Ruti's case...... she's a healthy girl from my point of view, so aptitude may be a fire attribute"

"Is it a fire attribute!? I'm glad I'm with your father! What about your sister?

"I'm a tree attribute, right? Hmmm...... I thought it was a water attribute at the time"

"...... eh?...... Sister, are you sweet?

......

"I feel a little belly black one way or another......"

From there, he opened his mouth for a little while, turning his heel back.

"Oh, remind me of an errand--" Ugh, I'm lying! No kidding! ─ ─ ─ "...... ha. I'll be in good shape soon."

"Oh, I'm sorry. But... I mean, it's just a matter of words... because I was so aggressive... and I said," Oh, I thought I was running errands, "sister! I'm sorry! I'm not telling you anymore!

I tried to go back to the castle again because I said something extra, but my hem is pulled and stopped with a strong, thin hand.

Sigh again, look back.

"...... Let's. Doesn't that mean it's genuine? Well...... there are a few verses that come to mind for me too......"

"Ah...... here it is! If you think about it, why did you try to go? Admit your nonsense."

I said, "I'm sorry. Let's practice magic."

"Hey, hey, hey." Shall we start with the elementary magic of fire attributes? You can do it in turn, and you can check your suitability... "... sister."

"Look, time is finite. Because I have plans, too. Come on."

"Mmmm...... I'll definitely make you apologize!

"Yes, you're in the mood. Then imitate my movements."

An anger that is clearly not in the mood, Lucatini did not lend an ear to it and seriously began to imitate Lieel.

Riel takes the stand like he has a bow.

Lucatini imitates it and sets it up the same way.

"Next, it's important from here that we chant this as we pull the strings. [Fire - - What we want is a fiery arrow - - Fire Arrow]"

pulling strings as they chant to flow, hands off the strings at the moment they are finished singing

The magic has not appeared because the fire attribute is not aptitude for a series of movements, but Lucatini, who saw the demonstrated Lieel, once meditated on his eyes and eventually opened them, began to chant.

"[Fire - - All you seek is the arrow of the fierce fire - -]"

There is a bow there as you chant, and gradually a bow of fire is produced as you are doing the trick of pulling strings.

The aim is a crushed straw doll.

Pull a glass of red, brilliant strings, and one last sound.

"─ ─ ─ [Fire Arrow!

The firearrows released fly straight to the straw doll.

A sharp, red flash.

It landed and shot the doll in the head brilliantly.

......

The glanced Lucatini laughed a little flattered, but the next time he laughed, did he get a sense of reality immediately?

"I did it! Sister, I've never done this before!

Smile back at Lucatini, who has been so much closer than ever.

"Good for you... it was brilliant. Shoot the steeple... it's an effective attack."

"Thank you... Sister!

"Oh, that's quite honest......"

"Ugh, shut up! Courtesy of people......!"

"Heh heh...... I'm kidding....... But at that age I couldn't exactly hold my head in one shot, so it's good to be proud of you. Really.... so let's go more and more"

"...... Yes, yet!

Various people spin their stories in different places in the Wang capital, ever and ever.

And this story is just a few of them.

─ ─ The story of those girls.
