"There's no weakness in the Snow Witch"
That was the first voice of the Imperial Empress.
Fiona sitting next to me is clapping out a little, but I didn't think I was surprised.
"Well, you're a witch who can count as the six greatest wise men in this world. Well, it's not easy to find weaknesses."
Veronica laughs lightly and bitterly when I sum it up.
Fiona asks me questions as she looks up to me.
"The Six Wise Men means they're as strong as your aunt and uncle?
"Right, the master doesn't usually look strong because he was championed, but even then he holds the title of the Great Sage. If we're serious, we can destroy three for the Knights or a small country overnight."
"... Your aunt was so strong."
Fiona is stunned.
"People don't look,... no, they're as strong as they look. One of those people I don't want to turn against in this world."
I joked and said it, but Veronica also responds.
"I agree with you on that. - Bloody Witch, she is one of the Empire's court magicians on form, but, in fact, she is not involved in the Empire's politics. No, I'm not letting you. Father, as well as the Empire's heavy ministers, fear the power of Lord Seymour. He said we should not give that witch any more power."
"... Your aunt was such a strong man."
Fiona seems a little shocked that she only sees the annoying look of her niece, who insists she's seventeen, but the fact is, the strength of my master, Iris Seymour, is immense.
It can shake a nation's statehood by its magic and ingenuity, and it can also shape the war bureaux between the great powers.
But the help of such a most powerful master cannot be expected this time.
Because the snow witch refuses to intervene by name.
I couldn't imitate Chloe any poorer than she was in possession of her biocidal right.
"If I could have asked for the master's help, I would have won as well. They won't forgive me for that ease."
Veronica agrees with that, too.
"The enemy is quite cunning, too. After examining Lord Kite's weaknesses and personality, I will work out a plan carefully."
"Sure. Maybe that's the big difference between my master and the Snow Witch."
No matter, I will work out a ploy that has no pieces of mercy for my master or my adversaries, but I will not imitate them so shady and vile.
A master would be more fortuitous, or he would squarely take his daughter and bring her into negotiations on it.
After all, a woman named Anastasia just for the snow witch seems to freeze cold to its heart.
Now, how to fight that witch, that was the issue at hand.
I'll talk to Veronica about it.
"Do you fight? Are you going to do it from the front with the bloody witch and the great sage of a fierce being?
"I'm going to do it from the front."
"Reckless. Even though you are Lord Seymour's apprentice, you will have no chance of winning if you meet him properly."
"Sort of."
I didn't eat enough to fight the Great Sage to win, etc., and I'm not crazy.
If you think calmly, I will be defeated by the Snow Witch.
"But I can't imitate worse than Chloe being taken hostage. Then, on the other side, we'll have to go to the Snow Witch Hall alone, bow our heads and persuade them, or let them fight with dignity and break the curse on Chloe."
My daughter nods when I say so. With determined eyes.
"I've only spoken to Mr. Anastasia a a little bit, but I don't think he's that bad. If we can talk and understand each other, we can settle this peacefully, I'm sure."
I don't know about that, but anyway, my daughter seems motivated.
Veronica leaks her exhale when she sees it, but in the end she obeys our will.
"If my future son-in-law and daughter are like that, I'll have to get hungry, too."
Veronica proclaimed this as raising its beautiful eyebrow root.
"Bless this kind Father and Daughter, O God, who illuminate this battle"
When we heard the words, when we drank up the tea, we started preparing to head to the Snow Witch Hall.
The Snow Witch, Veronica's Hall, was located within the Principality of Liengrad.
At least the map hall the witch ring pointed to was pointing to the back of the Principality's mountain.
The Empress said that when she became a great sage, she not only had her own country, but also had private residences, institutes, and hiding places in various countries.
"We're going to one of them."
My daughter says.
"Exactly."
Veronica affirms, but adds:
"I've just said private mansions and laboratories, but the place I'm going to hang out is more of a small castle than a private mansion. They bought the ancient castle of the Count's house, which was interrupted hundreds of years ago, and it was known as the famous castle of Kim Jong Yu Pond."
"Jincheng Yu Pool?"
My daughter says in a word she's unfamiliar with hearing, "See?" He has a face.
Mandarin scores should be good, but a word like Kim Jong Yu Pond won't come quite to the exam. It's a classic military term. Explain to my daughter.
"It's synonymous with Kanajo Yuike. The point is that the Snow Witch Hall is often solidified and cannot be easily dropped."
I keep going.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to drop the castle this time. I have an invitation over here. They'll let you through inside."
"The question is how to convince Mr. Anastasia."
"Well, if it can be resolved peacefully, that's best."
That said, I stare at Veronica.
Veronica dyed her cheeks but briefly told her what to do because she would be in trouble if she was mistaken.
"Your Highness, could you tell us everything you need to know about the snow queen?
Veronica, having heard the words, only comes up with a sorry face for a moment, but explained to me that she would fix her expression.
"The Snow Witch, her real name is Anastasia. Gender is female, age is unknown. It is listed by the Great Sage about 300 years ago, but previous background is often unknown, and is known as the most mysterious of the Great Sage."
"You don't have a background?
Veronica nods coldly as Fiona asks.
"Using our spy didn't give us any useful information."
"Didn't you get any information?
"I'm apparently from the Kingdom of Eldora. Its age is less than 300 years. That's about all we have."
"What's a woman?
"Well, I didn't exactly check Anastasia's hip"
Veronica jokes and says, but we're not funny. Because there's a boy who can't tell a female from a male without turning his skirt to his daughter's friend.
"But Her Royal Highness can't rely very much either. Isn't this the same thing you don't have any information about?"
Leaks the truth at the same time as exhales.
Veronica raises her eyebrows when she hears that.
"I did everything I could with this. That witch's intelligence regulations are above us. That's all."
Plus, she goes on.
"I don't want to talk too much about unidentified information, uncertain information."
"Conversely, if there are rumors of uncertain provenance," he said?
She nodded as she glanced into Veronica's jewel-like eyes.
Let me tell you something, when I say so, Veronica started the old story of the Snow Witch.
The tone was like a witch speaking a distant old fairy tale.
