In those days, in Wangdu...

"I am grateful to His Royal Highness Prince Cain, the Second Prince, and to Zamel, the Class A sorcerer, for fulfilling his prayers."

Natasha-Torias was in the reception room at the Royal Palace, opposite the Royal Family and representatives of the 'Magic Guild'.

"My territory of Torrias is also full of demons and is constantly being pursued to deal with them. On top of that, if the empire has stretched its forefingers, it will be difficult to deal with them alone… Therefore, it is up to the royal power that I would like to put them in, and thus ask for them as the name of the Count. Please, can't you ask for help?"

After stating the prepared mouth, Natasha bowed her head.

For a while, there was silence.

Cain, the second prince, the representative of the royal family, and Zamel, the magician, the representative of the 'Sorcery Guild', stared at the material at hand.

There are two materials.

One is about an empire that began to operate near the border of Torrias territory.

The other is about Armed Orga, which came from The Adventurer's Guild.

"I understand the appeal of the Count Torrias family. I will advise my father to send backup soldiers."

"Thank you. Your Highness Cain!"

"But there's one thing that bothers me. According to the report, it was the Imperial soldiers who started working near the border, but here they were 'strangely large soldiers', right?

"Yes, we have received such reports from soldiers placed at the border"

"I've never heard of many long men in the empire. I don't even hear about the good food situation. You can't solve a big soldier."

"The border soldiers just saw it from afar too..."

"Sometimes it's a mistake. Well, we'll just have to get this one ready."

"More important than that is another report, Your Highness Cain!

Unexpectedly, Old Zamel raised his voice.

"Armed Orga, a monster with armor! Besides, he had a shield to prevent sorcery. It's been recovered and it's all the way to the king's capital! I don't know what to investigate in The Sorcery Guild right away... but I didn't know you were here yet. Oh, the procedure is a hassle!!

"Please calm down, old Zamel. Miss Natasha is here."

"Oh. Oh! I know! But..."

Old Zamel grabbed the cup and drank the tea that was inside all at once.

Next, remove the small bottle from the inside of the robe and pour it into the empty cup. The contents are viewed as a potion of drowsiness, and Cain laughs bitterly.

Old Zamel and his disciples have deposited The King of Spirits (Lord = of =) Ride (Phantom).

I guess the research has been going on all night.

"It's more important to be an A-level magician... if you're as excited as a child, it involves majesty. Zamel Old"

"Shut up, Your Highness Cain. We are recovering the wisdom of the past lost because of the Church of the Sanctuary. Would it be natural to be excited before the opportunity to remain famous in the history of witchcraft?

"... uh"

Natasha-Torius looked at the sorcerers like that, Pokan.

(Was that shield that amazing? The one who helped me--Yuki-Grossalia was pale...)

Yuki-Grossalia - the most powerful magician who defeated 'Great Auga'.

That guy didn't seem interested in "The Shield Against Magic" or "The Great Auga" itself.

Instead, he looked "troublesome".

It was pale as if you were doing simple work, catching up on 'Great Auga' and beating it down.

Watching him reminds me of the babysitter my mother taught me.

In the song both Natasha and her sister Ophelia had become descendants of the old village.

In that village there was a patron saint named 'My Road', who always protected the villagers.

My Lord lost his life because of the Church of the Sanctuary, but one day he will be resurrected.

Seems like you'll get a great legacy and be 'The Strongest My Road' ─ 'True Road'.

I remember asking my mother, "What does" The True Road That Became The Most Powerful "do?".

My mother, who was asked, laughed bitterly and said, "Stay strong and live easy. I'm sure" you were laughing.

"... Miss Natasha? What's the matter, sir?

"Oh, yes."

To Prince Cain's voice, Natasha realized she was sinking into her thoughts.

Shake your head (wearing it) and turn back to the two people in front of you.

"Excuse me. Looks like I'm tired of traveling."

"Oh, you can't even do that. He's a long way from Torrias territory, and he's attacked by demons along the way."

"Yes, I saved you by the 'Magic Guild'"

"You're Yuki-Grossalia. He is the 'Guardian Knight' of my sister Iris. Damn, he's left me surprised. Defeat Alek-Keirth, a Class C sorcerer, and this time defeat 'Armed Auga'... I'm going to give him the rank of D-mage when he returns."

"Oh, you're a lot underrated. I believe his strength is equivalent to that of" C. "

Old Zamel laughed at the beard.

"Hmm. The talents of his people will not grow under His Highness Cain. I don't know if I'm going to grow one here in a faction of eagles."

"Yuki-Grossalia is the 'Guardian Knight' of her sister Iris. It would be appropriate to join my faction. Young talents grow up competing with the same young people."

"It's sloppy, Your Highness Cain. I didn't mean to use the royal authority!

"Old Zamel would be cowardly to feed on the status of a quasi-C mage. If you were to become a senior magician and gain the right to study the ancient heritage in greater depth, there can be no one who can stand it or anything else!

"No... I was wondering if that person might not be very interested in that area"

When Natasha noticed, she was, like, pounding and crushing.

"" Huh?

"Also, sorry!

In the attention of Prince Cain and Old Zamel, Natasha unwittingly holds her mouth.

"I've offered you something to offer. Forgive me!"

"Yes, no. Never mind." "I was a little excited, too."

Prince Cain and Old Zamel quickly slipped their gaze.

"Anyway, let's deal with requests from Torrias territory as soon as possible. The 'Magic Guild' will also send troops to investigate the 'Armed Auga' nest. I'll give your father a message from here, so I hope Miss Natasha is relieved."

"Mm-hmm. Thanks to the Count Torrias family, you've got valuable magic material, and even in the sense of thanks, 'The Sorcery Guild' is going to spare no support."

"Thank you!

Natasha took a seat and bowed her head deeply.

"We'll have a few more meetings here. Miss Natasha should rest in her quarters."

"Mm-hmm. There's some talk about that shield!

"That's what Old Zamel does again. Until we figure out what that shield is used for, it'll take a couple of years. You won't be able to help in a hurry..."

Pan.

Natasha left the reception room and closed the door.

Small, ha, and sigh.

The mission was fulfilled.

The royal family promised to send out soldiers to support us.

I was also able to convey information on 'Armed Auga'.

All you have to do is tell the people who are with you about it and return to your territory.

"... to that one... if you don't thank me..."

Natasha closed her eyes and put her hands together as she prayed.

It is thanks to Yuki that the support of the Royal Family and the 'Magic Guild' was obtained.

Without him, Natasha would not have reached the king's capital. If he hadn't found the 'Armed Auga' nest, the 'Magic Guild' wouldn't have been so favorable.

In that sense, Natasha owes him so much.

"... thank you. Yuki-Grossalia..."

………… Now, Milo... No, I think you heard the name of my escort knight...?

I heard voices.

When Natasha raised her eyes, there was a silver-haired girl across the hallway.

"His Highness Iris-Leastia!

Natasha kneels in panic.

controlling it by hand, Princess Iris,

"No need for greetings. Better yet, you're Natasha Torrias. I'd like you to take the time to talk about my escort knight and my best friend Odette... before you do."

"Yes, sir"

"My brother, the second prince Kyle, and the Class A sorcerer, Old Zamel, are in the room?

"Yes, there you are!

"Hurry up, there's something I need to let you know. You come too. Master Natasha-Torias."

Iris orders the butler, who had refrained in front of the door, to take over.

There was a few minutes, and the door to the reception room opened. Iris when he came in,

"The hands of the Gaiur Empire may be entering the country"

─ ─ Kyle, the second prince, and Zamel, the Class A sorcerer, told him.

On the signal of Iris, a maid who had refrained behind him offers something wrapped in a cloth.

When it opened, a rusty coin appeared.

"This was discovered by dear 'Guardian Knight' Yuki-Grossalia and by Odette Slay, Duke of Slay's Housekeeping Lady. This coin fell into the 'Armed Auga' nest."

In a voice full of majesty as a princess, Iris tells.

Natasha sighed when she saw the side of it.

(How dare you look... this is Master Yuki-Grossalia...)

Before the Second Prince and the Class A Mage, Princess Iris is grand.

This elegance and material waist will never shake. Exactly this one is the born princess...... and somehow convinced, Natasha kneels behind Iris.

"… I have received the report. Iris. But what does that have to do with the Empire?

"They say this coin is given by the Imperial nobles when they make a formal request to someone."

Iris told.

"It's not in circulation to the public, so few people know. But I led the investigation in The Sorcery Guild. When a messenger came from the Empire in the past, there remained testimony of those who saw this. I know you and Brother Cain and Zamel know what this coin meant by falling into the 'Armed Auga' nest."

"... the Gaiul Empire and the remnants of the 'Sanctuary Church' are linked?

"I'm not sure. But here's what my dear 'Guardian Knight' letter said: 'Dorothea-Zamuels' companions could have fled north. Wasn't it to stop the chaser's foot that rammed" Armed Auga, "he said."

In the reception room, silence fell.

Prince Cain and Old Zamel put their hands on the jaw (chin) and looked to think about it for a while.

Natasha felt the blood draw.

If Princess Iris' words are true, the master of 'Armed Auga' will be in Torrias territory.

"As soon as possible, we should send out a team of investigators in the Magic Alliance."

"I know what you're trying to say, Iris. But who's going?

"Of course. I'm coming because I'm responsible for what I've said!

Princess Iris rebelled against her chest and declared.

"This report was brought to me by my 'Guardian Knight'. Then it is incumbent upon me, its master, to ascertain the truth with this eye. I'll go. I'll leave at once. Actually, I'm ready already!!

"Oh, Your Highness Iris..."

Natasha snapped unexpectedly.

I was about to cry.

What a wonderful princess. I can't believe you've thought about Torrias territory so far.

"Thank you. Your Highness Iris. I will guide you all the way to Torrias territory!

"Well, what a good one. Natasha."

Iris takes Natasha's hand and makes her stand.

"I'd love to. With your guidance, I will be able to make an immediate roundabout with Milo...... no, the 'Guardian Knight'. No, I'm not saying this out of personal sentiment, I'm thinking about the security of the kingdom."

"I know. His Highness Iris."

Natasha was at her best to answer that.

Because Iris' eyes were shining.

A burning eye for a mission - it resembled a maiden's eye hurrying to her beloved.

With so much enthusiasm, His Highness Iris is trying to defend the kingdom.

"Okay. As a second prince, I decide to send Iris to Torrias territory"

"Nor does it differ as a 'magic guild'. This Zamel was also touched by my heart thinking of His Highness Iris' country!!

The second prince Kyle nods and answers as the Class A sorcerer Zamel has been extremely impressed.

"But don't push it. It's only after we rendezvous with your 'escort knight' and hear more about it that we move in earnest. Like."

"I'm going to. Brother."

Princess Iris pinched up her dress skirt and gave her a formal thank you as a princess.

"This Iris-Leastia will have the primary purpose of joining the 'Guardian Knight' Yuki-Grossalia. Let us promise never to leave his side in Torrias territory and to always be within your sight."

"Right. Just like that."

"... as an official royal order... I have taken a pledge"

"Huh?" "Huh?" "Yes?

"No, nothing"

Iris holds his chest, declares.

"Then we will leave in a great hurry. Let's come. Master Natasha-Torias."

"Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess Iris-Leastia!

Thus, Princess Iris decided to head to Torrias territory as an advance investigation team for the Sorcery Alliance.

The next day, the sorcerer and the soldiers of the escort set off with Princess Iris, who sparkled her eyes, and a carriage carrying Natasha Torrias staring at it with her coveted eyes.
