The Branded Female Fencer

"That fingerprint was from before the war."Didn't you think I knew? "

"--But you didn't see it. How do you do that?"

"I won't tell you how." But I'm a bloodsucker now, and I have quite the upper hand.Don't be too modest. Even if we fight from the front, it's a twist for you guys.I didn't tell you, but I used to be the most skilled combatant in the last lesson of the Supreme Patriarch of Miriazar.If we had a pilgrimage system, we would be the first. "

"Really? Are you uncomfortable with us?"

"In a way."

Yekes starts walking again, climbing the hill toward the castle.Even on that steep slope, Yekes' speed never waned, and the two of them followed the run with a little shortness of breath.

Meanwhile, Ekesh's breath never broke, and he kept talking.

"King Brad has a lot of troubles."I want you to disassociate yourself from the outside world and let your heart sleep.Even so, the Supreme Patriarch of Miriazar contacted me to say that it was a matter involving the continent itself, so I couldn't ignore it.That's why I invited you here. "

If we got lost in the middle of the forest, how long will it be?

"No, if you don't have the strength to follow me, you'll die before you see King Blood anyway."There were five princesses.Two of them are friendly to humans.By the way, all five of us, including me, hate the outside world.That's why the other princesses said that they didn't know about Arnelia's request.If they follow me along the way, I'll die if I don't have the minimum strength. "

"It's the princesses who are so attractive."There's a lot in the box. "

Elsa sneered, Eliza screamed, and Ekes laughed tinyly.

“Really. I agree with you.With the strength to sweep across the continent, why are you so quiet? - I don't think so. "

"Then why?"

"If you're curious, ask the king."All five of us once spoke of conquest of the continent.It was the king himself who dominated it.I think we've gotten off to a bad start around here.Now, this is the king's castle.Welcome to the Eternal Night Palace. "

When Yekes stopped, there was a giant red iron gate far bigger than humans, and two strange beasts that could not stand a giant pig or a dog sitting in front of them.And there were two women.

A ferocious woman with a giant Halvard, covered in blue light armor, stood grumpy as she stroked the beast's throat.Next to it, a girl in a small black dress waited expressionlessly while riding on a fluffy floating sphere.

The blue woman yelled at Ekes with her blood vessels floating between her brows.

"You, Yekes! The king ordered us to go alone!"You're going on your own! "

"You have to be punctual, Samudra."If we're late and these two go into the strange woods recklessly, we might not be able to find them either?The king also said this."Bring a guest before me."

"I've always been good at excuses!?"

"Because you're not good at making excuses, you've been showing a lot of pimping, haven't you?"

"It's time to shut up, both of you."

As the black girl scowled, they turned to each other, but the black girl, with a small sigh, urged Elsa and Eliza.

"I'm sorry, guest." I am [Princess Kuroko] Dornea.The blue one there is "Azure Sea Princess" Samudra.I'll show you from here. "

"Yes, I understand."

Elsa answered anxiously, and Dornea explained to the two of them as she urged them.

"You were threatened by Yekesh?"They say we all hate humans and the outside world.Maybe they'll kill you? "

"Yes, that's right."

“Honestly, but it's a little flawed.I don't hate humans, I'm just indifferent.How indifferent you are is irrelevant, regardless of whether you're going extinct.That's why I don't care about the war in the outside world or the black magician.But the king's orders are absolute.And since I love the king, I want to fulfill the king's wishes with all my spirit.That's all there is to it. So, as long as it is the King's request, your lives are safe.After all, I'm the toughest princess in the world. "

"If you turn your back, if the king decides he doesn't need us, will you die at that moment?"

"If you don't have the strength to run away from me, then so be it."Now, let's open the gate. "

As Dornea put her hand on the gate, it slowly opened with the sound of a giant gate.There was no magic effect, and they were pale when they realized they were just strong.

"Those who cannot open this gate from the front are not eligible to live in this castle in the first place."Everyone who's ahead of us can do this.With that in mind, you should assume how much power you have. "

... Thank you for your advice.

"He is well-mannered and humble.I don't hate people like you.At least, I don't want to kill you because it's troublesome. "

Dornea looked back at Elsa with emotionless pitch-black eyes.I don't know what you're thinking, but when you look into her eyes, Elsa's anxiety drives her.

And Dornea raised her voice to Samudra.

"Samudra, how long have you been doing that?"Are you in charge of preparing the dinner? "

"Oh, I know!"

Samudra jumped overhead and went deeper.Looking at her back, Dornea was also floating fluffily.

"Oh, I see, that's the most homey and good cook.Well, you should be able to cook it so that humans can eat it properly, maybe. "

Maybe?

"Most of us don't need a meal.If you don't need it, you won't eat it for years, and if you are told to eat it, you can eat it as much as you want.Especially if I want to, I can keep eating for a month. "

"It devoured me again."For that reason, I envy her body shape. "

"Normal appearance lacks unevenness, but other princesses will laugh."I can adjust that, but--it's a little dark, isn't it? "

When Dornea's hand stretched out into her mouth, she seemed to add fuel from her fingertips to the slightly lit lamp.Even so, it was bright enough to understand the outline of her feet, but Elsa and Eliza were relieved.Without Dornea's attention, I didn't even know that the stairs were in front of me.

Elsa is convinced that the palace of the ever-night is what she used to say.The equipment is almost pitch-black. Originally, it was an area where the sunlight was almost blocked off, but in addition, there were few windows for lighting, and the windows were carved as works of art.It can be seen from the portraits of at least three princesses that are carved into each of them.

But the number of princesses seemed to be even higher.By the way, I was told that there were only five of them, and there must have been more princesses in this castle.From that time on, was this palace an ever-night palace?Elsa wondered if the princesses had fainted.

There was no dust on the floor or furniture, and along the way, I saw a monster dressed in human butler clothes carefully cleaning it.When the monster noticed Elsa and Eliza, she stopped her hand and bowed politely.The courtesy was no less graceful than that of the nobility of the nations.

The three arrived in front of a magnificent door when their eyes got used to it and they could afford to enjoy the shape of the palace.In front of the door, which was covered with a beautiful statue of a woman, there was a woman in green.The woman bowed politely and nodded.Elsa noticed that the surface was a tree.

Dornea hands out to the woman and introduces her.

"[Princess Green Garden] Diamante. As you can see, it's a subspecies of Trent."

"It's a sub-species of the torrent species called the Prime Tree, to be exact."Greetings, Messenger of Arnelia."

Diamante asked for a handshake, but Elsa struck Dornea with her hand as she tried to reach out.

"Alright. If you touch Diamante without preparation, you can plant a strange seed."If you don't want to be a dependent of her, it's a good time to touch it. "

Ugh

"Fufu, I'm sorry."

When Diamante laughed slyly, another Diamante emerged from the hem and knocked on the door.Dornea explained to me that the only thing I could see in my head and mouth was a decoration.

I see your messenger, king.

"... it's okay to let it pass"

A voice came from beyond the door, and Diamante put his hand on the door and put his strength into it.While the door slowly opened, Dornea looked around and asked Diamante a question.

Where's Silmera?

"There's no way I'm coming." She hates humans more than anyone else.The human messenger, not to mention Arnelia, could be slaughtered at first sight. "

That's right, too.

Sirmela? No way, [The Red-Hair Hero] Sirmela?

Elsa was surprised to see Diamante and Dornea.

Oh, you know? I'm Silmera the Flaming Hair Princess.

"Speaking of which, you used to be a brave spirit knight."You fought us, too. "

"I heard he was dead."

"Well, why don't you ask about that at a later dinner party?"If only I were alive. "

With the ominous prophecy of Dornea, the door opened heavily, and it was a bedroom, not a bathroom.From sheets to blankets.When the black lace curtains were opened alone, they were lying lazily with their long, loose brunettes hanging there and their pure white appearance that could not be imagined as anything else in the world.
