What do you mean?

That giant Spirit Stone has disappeared from Atmos's inner city.

I can't believe it.

Moving such a huge amount of material somewhere is a difficult business.

But before my eyes, a giant spiritual stone had disappeared.

It's that guy.

This was also done by a boy named Ars.

No, I wasn't looking directly at the scene, but I'm sure of it.

It's up to him to do this.

Where did you do that? Do you know how precious that is? If you treat it badly and break it, it can even be said to be a loss to humanity. "

What's wrong, Charlotte? If all of a sudden you're so angry... no, your angry face is so cute. "

"Hmm, what are you talking about? Please answer the question rather than that. Where did you get that giant Spirit Stone? I won't allow you to hide it."

Ah, I took it back to my territory. Please be assured that it is well stored in the national territory beyond the spiritual peak. "

"... eh? What are you talking about? Did you take it back to the country beyond the spiritual peak? You can't do that. Please don't make fun of me."

It's true, Charlotte. So, would you actually look at it with your own eyes? If that's the case, I'll show you.

"... you want to tell me to cross the spiritual peak now? You can't do that."

Well then, let's do it. Don't worry about anything. The transfer will be over soon.

No way...

I can't believe it.

How many times does this guy surprise you?

I suddenly thought that I had made a stone in front of me, and it disappeared in an instant.

And I thought you'd show up again soon, and now you're telling me to jump while touching the stone.

... no way, really?

Could this be a transfer stone that only appears in the labyrinth?

Did you make that yourself?

You can't do that.

I was supposed not to, but I jumped towards the transfer stone made by Ars that was touched earlier.

It was a land I had never seen before.

It's obviously not a valley like the Atmos River, it's a city somewhere.

It is also like having a castle.

So, have you really come to a completely different place?

What Ars said was true.

There was a castle in front of me that I didn't know, and next to it was that giant spiritual stone.

It was a real spiritual stone even if I rushed over and checked it out.

I looked back at Ars' face with a daze.

The face was laughing like an innocent child who had succeeded in a prank.

"... you really moved the giant Spirit Stone. Use the transfer stone."

Oh, did you know about the transfer stone? Well, I used that transfer stone to relocate it. Did you now understand that what I said was true?

"... I admit that I moved the Spirit Stone. But we still don't know if this place is a country west of the spiritual peak you say it is. If you don't mind, could you show me around the land?

Yes, that's fine, Charlotte. You can't be rude to greet an exotic princess. I will guide you to your satisfaction. "

I knew it.

Perhaps what he says is true.

The fact that it came across the spiritual peak means that the land is beyond the spiritual peak.

I just can't believe it.

That's why he answers without any cowardice.

He guided me as far as I wanted.

The castle, called Barca Castle, is a stunning castle called stained glass that incorporates light.

The castle was decorated with a number of accessories, many of which were designed differently from the artwork I knew, but all were harmonious without damaging the atmosphere of the castle.

The castle town beyond the inner walls after leaving Barca Castle is also amazing.

There was a stretch of street-separated towns as if they had drawn a line with a ruler.

There are vibrant voices everywhere and it's bustling.

But it should still be winter.

Even though I was walking outside, I didn't feel that cold.

Perhaps if we cross the spiritual peak, the climate will be different from ours?

That's what I thought. When I asked Ars, he answered my question.

It seems that the statue in the castle town is relieving the city's cold.

I've actually shown you the statue, but it looks like it shows Ars.

Regardless of the shape, it is strange that the cold is relieved by something like a statue made of such ice.

While I was being guided around the city like that, Ars was being heard by so many people.

None of them are exotic words that I do not understand.

As a royal family, I have learned the language of the neighbouring countries well.

I thought the language used by Ars was accented by a group of small nations, so I was thinking about the possibility of some royalty in a small country, but maybe not.

At least I didn't know any of the words used here.

Phew, I exhale.

I'm tired.

I've always wondered, but apparently Als is really an exotic resident.

I've heard stories of people claiming to have crossed the spiritual peak rarely before.

But no one could tell if it was true.

No, actually, I think most of that was from the mouth.

But Ars was different.

Someone from an exotic country who can lead an army across the spiritual peak and even move in an instant using a transfer stone.

Even if I understood the fact, I couldn't afford to be honest with my head and mind.

... you're tired.

I want to go home and get a good night's sleep on a warm bed.

I thought so as I was walking around the city alongside Ars.

"I'm not going home, Charlotte."

"............ eh?

I entertain royalties like Charlotte. You can't just let him go right away. Besides, there's still something to see about this balka. I'd love to show you around.

Yes, no, thank you. I am entrusted with guarding the countryside of Atmos. I have to go home right away. "

Don't say that. It's okay, Charlotte. There are my men over there. I'm ordering you to keep it safe. "

No, I can't. Please let me go. I'm going home. I'll use the transfer stone on my own.

Ah, maybe you can't do that. As a matter of fact, the transfer stone that was used at that time has already been destroyed so that no one can use it on their own. "

"Eh... eh? So, how do I get home?

"Don't worry. I will deliver it responsibly. I still want to talk to Charlotte.

When I heard that word from Ars, I thought it was precisely this thing that drew my blood.

What a failure!

Why did I follow this story when I was put on the words of Ars?

Besides, I'm the only one, the princess, going to such an exotic place alone.

In an instant, it became as cold as if my body temperature had disappeared, and only my regrets were pushed forward as I trembled.

* giggle * deep breathing, relaxing your body.

Something went wrong.

When I was told not to go back to the land of Ars in Vulcania, my head really turned white.

But this is how we got back to where we came from.

Yes, this is how I came back.

My men are waiting for you, in Atmos' village.

"Dear Charlotte, are you okay? They took me away and didn't come back, so we were all worried."

"Thank you for your concern, Captain General. I'm fine as usual. They didn't do anything to me. I've been doing business with them."

"Deal, huh? What's that look like?

"In the name of Charlotte the Third Princess of the Brillian Magic Land, I have formally agreed to a ceasefire with Ars von Barca, Prime Minister and General of the Kingdom of Fontana, west of the Spiritual Peak, and to enter into subsequent national relations."

Ko, is this national transportation? I understand the cessation of fighting, but I've never heard of the Kingdom of Fontana. What is that? A country west of the spiritual peak? Wait a minute, Master Charlotte. With all due respect, are you being deceived?

"I know this is confusing all of a sudden, Captain. But I'm not crazy. Here's the proof."

"Evidence? What the hell is that?

"Look at that. This is a magic bag with a legendary capacity. And it contains tons of sterling silver, artwork, magical weapons, and more. But there's more to it. I got the magic."

"Oh, yeah? Um, all of a sudden, I don't know what you're talking about... but it looks like a magic bag to me. You can take things out one after the other. But what do you mean you got the magic?

"Look at this. Ice Spirit Summon. Here, you can use your magic by crushing the spell."

"Oh, you don't even use your magic team? That's amazing. This looks like a feathered dwarf spirit. It's cute just like Charlotte."

"Fufu, that's not all. Magic Stone Generation.... how about that? Some of the magic spells I've acquired have spells that allow me to create magic stones like this."

Even magic stones? Oh, it's true. This is undoubtedly a magic stone. With this magic stone, you won't need to mine Spirit Stones here. "

"Yes. I have actually visited the Kingdom of Fontana, but apparently there is no magic stone technology beyond the spiritual peak. None of the magic stones in the city existed. They can only use Magic Stones as consumables for Magic Refills. So I wanted a rock crossbow, a magic weapon."

"Well, I see. Were you an untouched person who could create Magic Stones but couldn't use them? So you're working with a barbarian named Giants."

"That's right. That's why I suggested this. Instead of replacing it with a rock crossbow staff, I want my men to be able to use magic. And they admitted it. These items were negotiated, but that's why they were offered."

"I see. That's Charlotte. No, we both believed in Charlotte. It's wonderful to let the undeveloped not only give away their treasures, but also their magic."

"It's no big deal. After this, they will come again. It was said that the ritual would be performed so that magic could be used besides me. Captain, can you help me pick the people I need to earn my magic?

"Yes, of course, Charlotte."

Fufu.

I wondered what would happen along the way, but in the end everything went in the right direction for me.

Rock crossbow canes and magic weapons must use Earth Spirit Stones harvested in Atmos.

But if you can get other magic stones, it won't hurt as much as providing them.

Because if it's a Magic Stone, it can be used as a weapon.

Ars didn't seem to know about it.

You didn't understand how they could generate useful resources.

That's why I jumped on a rock crossbow.

Probably wanted power right away to confront the Demon King.

But this deal is overwhelming.

We were able to get magic bags with legendary capacity that we couldn't get without waiting for years to get distracted, magic bags that could create magic stones and other useful things.

I'm sure your father will be pleased with this.

I decided to return to my room in a Lunlung mood and write a letter to my country, imagining a future in which your father would recognize and praise me for his work.
