Oh, my God.
That giant spiritual stone has disappeared from inside Atmos.
I don't believe it.
It's a difficult business, such as moving that huge substance somewhere.
but from before me the giant spiritual stone was neglecting to disappear.
It's that guy.
This was also done by that boy named Ars.
No, I wasn't looking directly at that scene, but I'm pretty sure.
It's up to that guy to do this.
"Where did you do that? Do you have any idea how precious that is? If you treat it badly and break it, it's even a loss to humanity. '
'What is it, Master Charlotte? If all of a sudden you're so angry, you have a pretty face..., no, you have an angry face too'
'Well, what are you talking about? Answer the question more than that. Where did you do that giant spiritual stone? I won't allow you to hide it.'
'Oh, I took it back to my territory. Rest assured that it is kept properly in the country beyond the spiritual peak'
'... Huh? What are you talking about? Did you take it back to the country beyond the spiritual peak? There's no way I can do that. Come on, don't make fun of me'
'It's true, Master Charlotte. Then would you actually look at it with your own eyes? If you really want to, I'll show you.'
'... you want to tell me to cross the spiritual peak now? You can't do that.'
'Then let's do it. What, don't worry. The journey will be over soon'
Liar......
I don't believe it.
How many times in the world does this guy surprise you?
I thought you suddenly created a stone in front of me, and it disappeared in an instant.
And if you immediately showed up again, now wouldn't you tell me to jump while touching that stone, too?
... No way, really?
Could this be a transfer stone that only appears in the labyrinth?
Did you create that one yourself?
You can't possibly do that.
There shouldn't be, but I was supposed to jump toward the forwarding stone made by Ars, which was touched earlier.
That was land I had never seen before.
Obviously it's not a valley like the one in Atmos I've been in, it's a city somewhere.
That's also like having a castle.
If so, did 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 when I accidentally rushed over to check it out.
I look back at Ars' face in a daze.
That face was laughing like an innocent child whose mischief had succeeded.
'... you really moved a giant spiritual stone. Using Transfer Stones'
'Oh, just did you know about the transfer stone. Right, I used that transfer stone to make it relocate. Now did you 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 the country west of what you call Spiritual Peak. If you don't mind, could you show us around the land?
'Yeah, that's fine, Master Charlotte. You can't be rude when you welcome an exotic princess. Let me guide you to Charlotte's satisfaction.'
I knew it.
Maybe what he says is true.
It has come over the spiritual peak, and that the land is a country beyond the spiritual peak.
I just can't believe it.
So he answers one thing without being cowardly.
You guided me through the land as much as I wanted.
The castle, known as Barca Castle, was a stunning castle incorporating lighting in what is known as stained glass.
The castle was decorated with a number of conditionings, many of which were designed differently from the works of art I know, but only in harmony that never damaged the atmosphere of the castle.
Leaving Barca Castle and just beyond the inner wall, Castle Town is another amazing thing.
Townships separated by roads were spreading there, as if they had drawn a line by statute.
There are vibrant voices all over the place and they are busy.
But it should still be winter now.
Even though it was, I didn't seem to feel so cold walking outside.
Could the climate be different from that of our country when we cross the spiritual peak?
That's what I thought and asked Ars to answer that question.
They say a statue in Castle Town is soothing the city's cold.
You actually showed me that statue, but apparently this statue follows Ars.
Regardless of the shape, it's strange that the cold soothes with something like a statue made of ice like this.
While I was being guided through the city that way, Ars was being heard by so many people.
All of those are exotic words that I don't understand.
As royalty with me, I have learned the language of the surrounding countries well.
I thought Ars' language seemed to have a small group of nations, so I was also thinking about the possibility of some royalty in a small country, maybe not.
At least the word used here was something I didn't know anything about.
Phew, and exhale.
I'm tired.
I've always suspected that, apparently, Ars really is an exotic resident.
I've heard stories of people claiming to have come across spiritual peaks very rarely before.
But no one could tell if that was true.
No, I think most of that was actually cod out of the mouth.
But Ars was different.
A person of exotic origin, but also able to lead the army across spiritual peaks and even use transfer stones in this way to move within a moment.
Understanding that fact did not give me enough room for my head and mind to honestly accept it.
... You're tired.
I want to go home once and sleep well on a warm bed.
I was walking in the city alongside Ars and I thought so.
"I'm not leaving, Master Charlotte."
'.................. Huh?
"We entertain royalty like Master Charlotte. There's no way you can do that, like you'll be home soon. Besides, there's still some place to see this Barca. I'd love to show you around."
'Yes, no, fine. I am the one entrusted with the security inside Atmos. We have to go home right away.'
'Without saying so. It's okay, Master Charlotte. Because there are some of my men over there. I'm ordering you to keep it steadfast.'
'No, you can't. Please let me go. I'm leaving. I will use the transfer stone on my own.'
'Oh, maybe you can't do that. Actually, the transfer stone I used at that time has already been destroyed so that someone won't use it on their own.'
'Huh... Huh? So how am I going to get home?
'Don't worry. I'll deliver it responsibly. I'd still like to talk to Charlotte.'
Hearing that word of Ars, I thought this was exactly what would draw my blood.
What a lapse.
Why did I follow Ars' words then?
More so, alone, that I, the princess, am single and to such an exotic country.
In an instant, my body became cold as if I had lost my temperature, and only regret pushed me as I shook and shook.
Huh. Breathe deeply and draw strength from your body.
You've managed.
I was really white in my head when they told me I was not returning to the land of Ars, Balkania.
But this is how I came back to where I was.
Yes, this is how I came back.
My men are waiting, inside Atmos.
"Dear Charlotte, are you all right? We were all worried because they didn't take us back."
"You're worried, Captain General. I am safe on this street. It doesn't mean they did something to you. We've been doing business with them."
"Deal, is it? What's that like?
"I, in the name of Charlotte, the third princess of the Brillian Demonic Power, have officially decided to conclude a truce with Ars von Barca, Prime Minister and Grand General of the Kingdom of Fontana, west of the Spiritual Peak, and the subsequent national accord"
"Ko, is it national transportation? I understand the cessation of the fighting, but it's the name of a country you've never even heard of, such as the Kingdom of Fontana, but what the hell is that? A country west of Spiritual Peak? One moment, please, Master Charlotte. Aren't you being rudely deceived?
"I know suddenly things get confusing, Captain General. But I didn't go crazy. Here's proof of that."
"Evidence, is it? What the hell is that?
"Look. This is a magic bag that boasts the capacity of an Epic. And there's tons of sterling silver and artwork, magic weapons and more in here. but there's more to it than that. We've got magic."
"Yeah? Um, suddenly it's too hard to tell... but this does seem like a magic bag. One thing after another can be removed from inside. but what do you mean you got magic?
"Watch. Ice essence summons. See, this is how you can use magic by crushing spells."
"Well, without using the magic team? That's amazing. This looks like a feathered dwarf spirit, doesn't it? You look adorable, Charlotte."
"Heh, that's not all. Demon Stone Generation.... What do you say? Some of the magic you get is spells that can create magic stones like this."
"Is there also a demon stone? Ho, it's true. This is an unmistakable demon stone. If there is this demonic stone, won't it be necessary to mine the spiritual stone here?"
"Yeah. I've actually been to the Kingdom of Fontana for an inspection, but apparently beyond Spiritual Peak there's absolutely no technology for the use of demonic stones. None of the demonic props using demonic stones existed in the city. They can only use Demon Stone as a consumable for magic replenishment. So he craved rock crossbow canes and demonic weapons."
"I see. Were you so untapped that you could create the Demon Stone, but not available? So you're acting with a barbarian named Giant or something."
"That's right. So here's what I suggested. Instead of replacing it with a rock crossbow wand, he said he could use magic on my men as well. And they admitted it. These items have been negotiated, but they have been given away because of them."
"I see. That's Mr. Charlotte. No, we believed in Charlotte, too. It's brilliant not just to let the undeveloped offer their treasures, but even magic."
"It's no big deal. After this, they come again. That's where he meant to perform the ritual so that besides me, magic could be used. Captain General, can you help us elect the people who should get the magic?
"Yes, of course, Master Charlotte."
Hmm.
I wondered what would happen along the way, but you turned out to be all in the right direction for me.
Rock crossbow wands and demonic weapons must use the spiritual stones of the earth that can be picked in the Atmos.
but if there are other demon stones available, there is not as much to lose against offering them.
Because if you're a demon stone, you can use it as a weapon.
Ars didn't seem to know that.
I guess we didn't understand how useful resources we could produce.
That's why I jumped on a rock crossbow wand.
Probably wanted power right away to confront the Demon King.
But this deal, overwhelmingly, this one's gaining.
You have to wait long enough to get distracted. You've got a magic bag with an Epic capacity that you can't get, and magic that can create magic stones and other useful things.
I'm sure this will please your father.
I decided to return to my room in a Lunlun mood and write letters to my country, imagining a future where my father would acknowledge and praise me for my work.
