In fact, the Royal Guards who were waiting in the back had a wry smile on their faces because they had no chance to play, but their eyes were filled with respect and love as they looked at the princess's smile that was as beautiful as a blooming flower.
The princess took a sip of water. The coolness spread throughout her body, gradually moistening her heart, which had been dried up on the battlefield.
"Your Highness, would you like to rest for a moment?"
Ulvado is the captain of the Knight Guards directly under the princess, and he asked the princess worriedly.
The princess is indeed very strong. In this kingdom of demons and gods - the Kingdom of Abatar... no, in this era, she can be said to be the "strongest".
She was born with abundant magical powers, and despite her young age, her unparalleled beauty was already renowned across the world. She was also born with exceptional talent, mastering both magic and knowledge with a single instruction.
At the age of twelve, she even displayed several abnormal foul-level powers.
The ability to directly manipulate magic power without chanting.
The ability to construct magic circles simply by visualizing them in the mind.
And the inherent magic "Automatic Regeneration" that makes the body immortal as long as there is magic power.
That was a legendary power found only in ancient texts. Like the heroes of long ago, it was an ability possessed only by the chosen.
This was a time of turmoil.
Religion, economy, resources, even ethnic pride and other reasons drive people to fight. Large and small countries exist in large numbers, and each country hopes to rise.
The Vampire Nation was originally a closed nation, so closed it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was in a state of isolation. It was a small nation located at the southwestern tip of the Southern Continent, relying on self-sufficiency to maintain its operations.
In other words, the national policy of the Kingdom of Abatar is "other countries can fight each other as they please, but our country has everything it needs, so don't get involved!"
However, even so, due to the incomparable charm of the vampire clan and the contemporary princess, such a national policy is still unable to prevent the invasion of other countries.
As a result, the princess had to use her innate extraordinary abilities to defend her motherland.
This is the responsibility and obligation of a princess born into the royal family. Furthermore, it is based on the princess's desire to protect her beloved homeland, her people, and her trusted subjects.
Having said that, the princess is indeed still a girl who deserves protection.
"Ulvado, I'm fine."
Even though she said that, Ulvado couldn't help but worry about her, whether as a subject or as an adult.
"But Your Highness, you've barely had any rest lately. The same goes for this detachment. You should have just left it to us. Besides, you're heading to the battlefield in full dress uniform the moment you receive the report. It's really—"
"Ugh... there's nothing we can do about it. There's a village on the enemy's route..."
"Our citizens are all excellent warriors, and escaping from there will be no problem for them. Besides, your words, Princess, are not enough to answer the question of 'leave it to us.'"
“Wu, wu, but showing my power as a princess can restrain the enemy—”
"Indeed, that is exactly what Your Majesty intended. However, Your Highness has been on the battlefield for three years, having been twelve years old. Your Highness has long been renowned, so we will handle this level of troops. Besides—"
"I hate Ulvado's 'later'."
The princess puffed out her cheeks, turned her head away, and covered her ears with her hands. Her dreamy rosy cheeks became even more vivid.
She seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Your Highness..."
Ulvado's brow furrowed in frustration. The Royal Guards' subordinates, observing this ordinary scene, suppressed laughter, their shoulders shaking.
Ulvado had been the princess's guard since her birth, becoming both her most trusted subordinate and a grandfather figure to her. He loved her like his own granddaughter, and naturally couldn't help but nag her.
The princess saw out of the corner of her eye that Ulvado looked like he was about to speak again, so she quickly changed the subject.
"S-Stop talking about this! How's the battle going over there, Uncle? That's the main battlefield, but with Uncle personally here, it should be perfectly safe!"
The princess's desperate attempt to deceive made Ulvado smile bitterly.
The princess was fifteen years old, considered an adult by the vampire clan. Even though she had stopped growing since the manifestation of her inherent magic, "Auto-Regeneration," the aura she exuded upon entering the battlefield was still consistent with her actual age...
However, in front of those close to her, she seemed rather childish. Although she should have been corrected, Ulvado and the ministers who loved the princess couldn't help but be lenient with her when they saw her frantically trying to hide her cuteness. This was a common trait among them.
Ulvado coughed, regaining his proper demeanor as a subject, and reported to the princess:
"Don't worry, the situation seems to be advantageous. However, since the enemy has two divisions, it will be difficult to repel them."
"Is that so? Then we'll go and provide assistance immediately—"
At this moment, a bird flew down, interrupting the princess. The bird was about the size of a pigeon, with beautiful pure white feathers, but its eyes were dark red, indicating that it was a monster.
However, when the princess saw the monster, the expression on her face was not one of vigilance but of joy.
Because she knew that the white bird monster in front of her was a servant of her beloved uncle. Her uncle had the special ability of "commanding monsters" that no one else had.
And that is one of the reasons why this country is called the "Land of Demons and Gods".
The princess stretched out her hand, and the white bird seemed to land on the slender glass sculpture and landed lightly on her hand.
"The enemy forces will temporarily retreat. The front lines will be handed over to the First Army. I will return immediately."
"Telepathy" came from the white bird—the voice seemed to echo directly into my head. This was the inherent magic of this monster.
Upon learning of her uncle's safety and the good news of the battle, the princess gradually began to smile...
"Let's put this aside for now. What are you doing rushing out the door in your dress? You wild girl! It seems I need to have a serious talk with you."
The princess froze instantly.
After a pause of one second, Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at Ulvado stiffly, as if she had forgotten to oil a machine.
Ulvado smiled brightly and nodded. The Royal Guards also smiled broadly.
It was obvious who the informer was. The princess was isolated and helpless, and it looked like she would be in for a very joyful lecture.
"I, I need to report to my father—"
"I've already sent a message, don't worry."
"I, I have something to take care of—"
Although the princess tried to sneak away, but...
"Where do you want to go?"
“Uncle, Uncle-sama!?”
My uncle, who should be at the front lines, suddenly appeared in front of me.
He had the same blond hair and red eyes as the princess, his hair slightly longer and tied back. The wrinkles carved by hard work gave him a sense of ruggedness, but that couldn't hide the fact that he was a handsome middle-aged man.
His name was Dingred Galdia Wesperitio Abatar.
He was both the prince's younger brother and the nation's prime minister, possessing the same power as the princess, a battle-hardened protector. Such was the princess's uncle's exceptional ability, and even now, he smiled broadly—but a powerful string of onomatopoeias danced in the background, a smile that was terrifying.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the two huge one-eyed monsters standing behind him seemed to be afraid of their master’s appearance.
"'Auto-regeneration' is not a good thing after all. It can easily make you complacent and careless."
"No, nothing like that."
Her Royal Highness seemed to be flustered and flustered, her expression like a child caught in a prank, tears gradually welling up in her eyes...
"Please allow me to say that thanks to your Highness's presence, no casualties were sustained. Please also take this into consideration."
"Ulvado!"
Hearing Ulvado's defense, the princess looked at him with a look of relief. Seeing this, the royal knights also spoke out in support. The beloved princess's tears were incredibly destructive in many ways.
Deep down, they hoped that the princess would not take risks and rely on them more, but... they could not help but be tolerant of her.
Hearing the pleas of Ulvado and other guards, the princess showed a pitiful look and said, "I will reflect on it. Please don't be angry, okay?" Ding Lide had no choice but to sigh in defeat.
"Really...don't make me worry too much."
Dinglide smiled as he spoke, his expression completely different from before, full of kindness.
He patted the princess's head very gently.
“…Yes, Uncle-sama.”
"Okay, let's go back and rest."
Hearing her uncle's gentle voice and feeling his gentle touch on her head, the princess smiled shyly and, at his urging, began to walk. The Royal Guards offered words of encouragement, such as "Excellent, Your Highness," "Please rest well," and "It seems the head maid has baked some pastries."
He has a beloved uncle and trusted ministers.
No matter how many times the enemy country attempts to encroach on her motherland, the princess never feels that she will lose.
"Ah, that's right."
My uncle called me, his tone as gentle as usual.
The princess replied, "Yes, what's wrong?" and turned around...
"Will you please die, Eletia?"
A bloody mouth with Cang Yan wrapped around it suddenly appeared in front of him.
「!?」
A sharp pain shot through her right arm, and she let out a miserable cry. At the same time, the scene she had seen vanished in the blink of an eye, like a picture being wiped away by a piece of cloth.
Instead, she saw herself.
No, the other her with black hair and golden eyes—the 'phantom' from the Great Labyrinth [Ice Cave] trial—smiled triumphantly.
It was exactly as the name suggests, like being woken up by a slap in the face.
Her right hand was bitten off by the Azure Dragon and exploded at close range, sending the princess, Yue, flying. Yue used Auto-Regeneration to restore her right half and regenerate her clothes with regeneration magic, while simultaneously manipulating gravity to prevent herself from colliding with the icy mirror wall.
However, before she could regain her composure, she was hit by another surge of hypergravity.
『──『Misfortune』!!』
“Ugh—‘Black Vortex’!!”
The moon offsets the strong pressure on the body.
As the regeneration was completed, she stretched out her right hand and cast her best magic.
“—Thunder Dragon!”
"Haha ...!"
The two golden dragons roared like thunder and collided in mid-air. The gravity magic contained within them interfered with each other, and lightning was released in large quantities as if being squeezed.
The force of the collision was so great that even space itself distorted. This was no mere illusion. As the powerful forces collided, space ripped apart, and Yue shifted the direction of gravity.
She fell sideways and then made her next move.
“—Ice Spear: Hundred Shots!”
『──「Ice Lance: Hundred Strike」! 』
As if looking in a mirror, the phantom falling in the opposite direction of the moon also cast the same magic at the same time.
A total of two hundred ice spears were launched instantly, and the two sides collided in the air, causing loud shattering sounds.
“—[Sky Shock]!”
『──「Tiantian」! 』
The space exploded. This was spatial magic, vibrating the air to create shockwaves. The force of the impact was so immense that the aftermath alone cracked the ice tree towering in the center of the room, and ice rained down from the ceiling.
Both of them slid down the ground, controlling the gravity of the ice cubes at the same time. They each concentrated their magic power, trying to control as much ice as possible.
The magic power of gold, red and black spread and exploded, and the interference forces collided with each other. The ice in the middle could not withstand the pressure and shattered and scattered one after another.
"I clearly made you see an illusion of the past, yet you're still holding on so well."
"...The way you speak is disgusting."
"That's your tone, isn't it, Eletia?"
"...Don't call me by that name."
"I refuse."
Yue looked quite annoyed. She launched a barrage of ice, and Phantom sneered and fired back.
The two of them controlled more than a hundred ice cubes one by one, deciding in an instant which one to cancel out and which to let through, and then executing it immediately.
Yue even used a special skill that mixed hundreds of wind blades to deal with the opponent, while calculating in his mind.
They challenged the great maze of the [Ice Cave], heard the nerve-stimulating whispers, and walked through the boring huge maze, and at the end they walked into a shining door.
Although it was roughly expected, as expected, the shining door was a space transfer "portal", and the group was separated by it.
