Blue-Eyes White Dragon: Adopted by the King of Knights [93]

It was a change Jeanne Alter herself had yet to notice.

But it had undeniably occurred.

From wanting to destroy this world to not wanting it to perish—this was a profoundly important shift.

Put in philosophical terms, this signaled the gradual fading of her self-destructive tendencies.

Replacing them was something more positive:

The desire to live.

Perhaps this world was already beyond redemption. Yet within it, there existed something she cherished deeply—something she wished to continue living for.

For that purpose, she was willing once again to raise her flag of rebellion against God—but this time, it would no longer be driven by mere anger.

“Everyone, listen to me. I have an idea…”

Jeanne Alter spoke tentatively, yet with anticipation, sharing her new vision:

“I want to build a new country on this land.”

“A nation without betrayal!”

This was Jeanne Alter’s carefully considered “brilliant idea,” one she'd spent a long time forming.

She would prove that her revenge wasn’t mere impotent fury—but that it was born from a greater, loftier ambition, and from her superior abilities.

“I’ll definitely do it better than that Jeanne ever could!”

She spoke confidently, as though already seeing herself crowned leader, guiding her people to glory.

But the problem was—

“Wait a second.”

“So you're saying that after you’ve killed almost everyone in this land and made enemies of whoever's left…”

“You now want to gather those same people and convince them to help you build a nation?”

Elizabeth stared at the Dragon Witch incredulously.

She’d thought Kiyohime’s lovestruck brain was already foolish enough…but apparently, Jeanne Alter's stubbornness surpassed even hers.

“What were you thinking earlier?”

Elizabeth asked, baffled.

Honestly, if Jeanne Alter had avoided the massacres in the beginning, and instead raised her flag as “Jeanne d'Arc,” calling all Frenchmen to join her in “holy vengeance,” she might have already marched straight to Rome and crowned herself Pope by now.

But now, with the world already in this miserable state…this really was a hopeless cause.

“I know it’s difficult!”

“That’s exactly why I called you here to help me think of something!”

Jeanne Alter was starting to panic.

She knew she wasn’t the brightest—but three heads were better than one. Surely, between the three “monsters” here, they could think of something?

“Sorry, you know I’m no good with this stuff…my dream is just to become an idol.”

“A country? Why build a country? Will my beloved Anchin be there?”

—Alright, maybe they couldn’t!

Jeanne Alter had seriously overestimated these two monster lolis and seriously underestimated the scale of the mess she'd created.

Yes, after massacring most of the population, how could she even talk about founding a country here?

“I really am an idiot!”

Having only just recovered her spirit, Jeanne Alter was immediately crushed by the weight of her impossible task, slumping forward helplessly onto the table.

Yet at that very moment—

“Roooaaar—”

A sudden dragon’s cry snapped Jeanne Alter from her negativity and defeat.

“You say you have a way? What is it?”

“Oh—that’s right! There's still that method!”

“How did I not think of this before!”

Listening intently to Bluey’s advice, Jeanne Alter’s lifeless eyes gradually brightened with renewed vigor.

When she finally heard the full extent of Bluey’s proposed “blueprint,” she could no longer contain her excitement, grabbing her dragon-emblazoned flag immediately.

“Tomorrow—no, right now!”

“I’ll handle this immediately. You two should go rest first!”

...

Perhaps it was the comfort of the beds or simply how safe the castle felt…

In short, the “savior duo,” who ought to have remained constantly vigilant, ended up oversleeping until well past nine in the morning.

“Morning, Mash.”

“Good morning, Miss Elizabeth, Miss Kiyohime.”

Yawning, the orange-haired girl strolled into the castle’s dining hall.

A meal prepared by Kiyohime awaited them on the table—some bread, cups of milk, and a generous plate of grilled sausages.

Quite fitting for this era.

“By the way, Miss Kiyohime, Miss Elizabeth, you two are Servants, right?”

“Things were a bit rushed yesterday…could you please explain what's happening in this era?”

At the dining table, Fujimaru Ritsuka activated her EX-ranked social skills, hoping to build friendly relations with the two Servants.

She succeeded, yet also failed.

She succeeded in that her mysterious charisma prevented even Anti-Heroes like Kiyohime from instantly disliking her.

But she failed because—unfortunately, she'd directed her question at exactly the wrong people!

Since arriving in this era, Kiyohime and Elizabeth had wandered aimlessly through wilderness and ruins, only brought to the castle yesterday by Bluey. They vaguely knew things were happening in the outside world, but ask them to explain it clearly and they'd simply stammer incoherently, unable to give any real details.

“Oh…”

“It seems we'll have to rely on another Servant for answers.”

“Right, what about that Servant in black armor? Where did she go?”

Fujimaru Ritsuka resumed gathering intel about Jeanne Alter.

But this time, before the two girls could answer her question, an urgent "Beep—Beep—Beep—" sounded from her wrist.

“Ritsuka, Mash, we've got trouble!”

A translucent blue projection appeared from her watch, suspended mid-air.

A man with similarly orange hair, tied back into a ponytail and wearing a white coat, reported urgently:

“Our sensors just detected massive unusual biological activity outside the castle. There are at least thirty thousand—”

“It's fifty thousand!”

The man's words were interrupted by a delighted female voice suddenly booming from outside the castle.

“Saviors from the future, open your eyes and witness clearly!”

“This power…shall be the proof of my rejection of your god, and your so-called future!”

“O dragon—grant me your power!”
