Chapter 72: Sudden Hostility

"Princess Claire? What a fortuitous meeting." I tried to make small talk, but she drew her rapier, her eyes glaring menacingly at me. I instinctively reached for my dagger and trident.

"I thought you were my friend. Why?" Tears started to flow from her eyes. I could only look at her blankly. What was she talking about? I hadn't done anything to her, yet she spoke as if I had killed her parents.

"Princess Claire? What are you talking about?"

"Ah. I...

Chapter 39: New Journey

"Just like I said, Yuri now has the backing of the Zenith. She could leave us at any moment."

"What do you mean? She's my daughter. She won't leave me," my father insisted, his certainty evident even through the camera. His assurance was so misplaced it made me nauseous.

"Osamu, tell me. You're my brother. Yet, ask yourself, how many times have you dreamed of usurping me, becoming the head of Shirayuki? Or making it big in other companies?" Kageyama queried.

Chapter 38: Family Tension

"Black Lily, you have a call from Kageyama," Felicia reported, and I answered. He greeted me with a smile. He seemed to be getting friendlier each day.

"Yo. Good job yesterday. The damage was a lot lower than expected. By the way, will you patrol our headquarters again? I am currently applying to schools in Eden. Being Shirayuki, they accepted it without any fuss. It was one of Shirayuki's schools. Will that be amendable to you? I thought you would like to meet with your fri...

Chapter 37: Unanticipated Threats

A system message appeared before our eyes, and a voice warning intermittently sounded for those who didn't have their PDAs active. I only stared at it in a daze while Alice and the others quickly sprang into action.

"Everyone! Evacuate! Go to the shelter!" Alice exclaimed urgently.

"Ugh, those annoying bugs chose the worst timing!" the journalist gr...

Chapter 36: Journalist

"You have a phone call from Kageyama," Fel said out of nowhere.

"Hello?" I answered the call from my phone.

"Ah! Black Lily. Is there anyone else around?"

"Shining Arrow and the others."

"They are okay. They know your identity, right?" He confirmed, and I connected the call from Felicia to the monitors in the VIP restaurant room. "So, about your school, I'm sorry, but you have to go to school in addition to your magical girl duties. The Guar...

Chapter 71: Tea Party

The invitations finally arrived. Being freed from the royal princes was a relief. However, uncertain about what topics might interest young ladies—despite being one myself—I brought Ronya along. Although she isn't a mage, she is the Duke's granddaughter.

"Greetings, Lady Eli. May I ask who she is? I remember her attending my tea party once, but I must apologize. My memory has escaped me."

"Greetings, Princess Charlotte. I was invited by Lady Elidran...

Chapter 35: Patrol

"When are the next rank wars? Are we finished here?"

"Well, we have two more hours to spend. About twenty minutes here and an hour and forty minutes in area 50," Alice smiled.

"Now that you mention it, MGs don't have to take patrols, right?" I asked as I sped up. I was being stubborn. I knew it wouldn't change the time that must be spent in each area, even if I walked faster. And so, we walked through the narrow streets to the next area. Eden was a dense concr...

Chapter 34: Promotional Exam E

"Go, Sapphire! You can do it!" Alice cheered for Magical Girl Sapphire during her promotion test. Magical Guardian Green Harvest took on the role of MC once again.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Magical Guardians' Promotion Exam for Rank E! After several months of hard work, our girls and boys have finally reached this point! They have slain numerous monsters, helped citizens, and promoted peace! Now is the time for them to climb to the next rank! As anathemas grow stronger, so will ...

Chapter 70: Diplomatic Dinner

"Greetings, Mister Samuel, this is Lady Elidranthia, my fiancée," Ludwin introduced me to Samuel, one of the RGB musketeers from Elderan. I was taken aback as he smirked at me. Samuel has seen my face in Shadowstep County! We have tried to take each other's lives two times already. "And this is Dregorn, the envoy from Elderan. He is here to discuss a truce between Elderan and Althemer."

"Well, well, who do we have here? What a lovely lady. Your eyes really remind me of a ...

Chapter 33: Training

"Hello, Yuri. How's life at Guardian Academy?" Kageyama asked. I could only answer the phone from a VIP restaurant room since the dormitory required a seven-day approval.

"It goes well. I am now an F-rank Magical Girl. And please, call me Black Lily."

"Really? Even though you just enrolled yesterday?"

"I've acquired levels in New Mesa. Moreover, the martial arts club I attended also helped."

"I see. The next one is E-rank, right? When...

Hello! Could you say Hi?

Hello. This is laulau.

Could you please comment on something? I just wanted to know how many of you guys are still alive on this channel.

I could see from the member list that you are there. But the void responses after I went on for a break during February made me wonder if you guys still remembered me.

Thank you for reading. Sorry, I could not write faster. i wanted to, but even editing took like four or three hours out of me.

I might post another Magical girls to...

Chapter 32: Mock Battle

I looked at the Red Magical Guardian before me and refused. "Um... no. Why should I have to duel with you?"

"What, are you scared?" The red guardians pompously baited me.

"Fel? Why is he being hostile?"

"Some reds tend to be a bit aggressive. They like to compete," Felicia replied.

"Sorry. I have to refuse. I have a meeting with Magical Girl SkyPierce," I responded. I had been attending the CQC combat session with MG Green Harv...

Chapter 69: Diplomat

In the Castle, From King Andre's POV

"My name is Dregorn, King Andre of Althemer," announced the diplomat from Elderan as he arrived, accompanied by a mage named Samuel, a Level 8 wind mage. Our intelligence department confirmed their identities; he was one of the renowned 'Three Musketeers', a trio of high-level mages.

"My name is Samuel. Please pay no attention to me, as I am merely an escort to Sir Dregorn, Your Highness," Samuel said, maintaining a low pro...

Chapter 31: Promotional Exam F

"Welcome, everyone. Since there are rookies here, let me introduce you to the virtual training room. Here, you can train as much as you like, facing dangerous anathemas or dueling each other. Whether in the middle of a city or the heart of a jungle, we've got it all covered," the instructor introduced me to a gargantuan machine in the center of the room, which had numerous cables connecting it to multiple pods housing sleeping humans.

"During the promotion test, an instruc...

Chapter 68: A Day in Disguise

I used my dark illusion magic on the guards to render us invisible, and we headed towards the inner ring, where the noble quarters were located. However, my actual intent was far different—I longed to explore the slums and savor some street food like ice creams. The pastries and puddings prepared by the royal chef were undoubtedly delicious, but the intimate stares of the nobles around soured their taste.

"Wait. Where are we headed? This is the gate to the slums, right?"...

Chapter 67: Date

"Revenge," I affirmed.

"Revenge? Is it personal, then? But why? Your profile didn't mention anything of the sort. I assumed you'd be interested in information regarding Duke Luca and the incident involving your maid from a year ago. I even prepared a quest for it but held off on posting it, waiting for your signal. And now, you're seeking details from Elderan? Have you ever been there?"

"Do you really think I've traveled to other countries?" I retorted, settli...

Chapter 29: Aces of Aces

The Anathema turned its gaze away from me towards the western district, across the ocean. Seizing the opportunity, I pushed through the pain and moved quickly. I cast two clones, one to carry me and the other to lie down in my place. The pain made me bite my lip, but I persevered, leaping into another sewer with a manhole to hide. Through the window in my view, I saw the monster slam its tail into the ground, "killing" me. When the dust settled, it roared, realizing I was no longer there. Cou...

Chapter 28: Hide and Seek

The jeep made its way east, with my clone at the wheel. Moments later, the Anathema crushed it underfoot like a pancake, sending tremors through the ground that reached me, who was hidden within a building at a distance. This was the fifth clone it had slain. The Anathema seemed determined to kill me. Initially, I attempted to draw it closer to my clone, but it obliterated my clone immediately, pursuing it with a single-minded focus. Even as I increased the distance, it continued to fo...

Chapter 66: The Engagement

The king's proclamation was clear: my engagement to Ludwin was announced. Our wedding was destined to occur two or three years after our graduation from Althemer's Royal Academy. I stealthily escaped. As the ball continued, I found solace in the solitude of the night, sitting by the fountain in the garden, clasping my hands over my heart. Whispers of fury intertwined with my very essence.

"Eli..."

"Kill them... No peace..." The whispers were insidious, laden with images of ...

Chapter 27: Rekindled

"Felicia, inform the other magical girls that I will buy them time. Head to the Guardian Command and hide in the tunnel with the rest of the refugees. The monster thinks it has destroyed the building, but the basement should still be safe."

"Roger! Magical signal broadcasted. All magical girls and guardians in the area should be notified of this... A quest has been issued by the Arcane system. This quest is classified as a Death Wish level quest upon completion. What is your last...

Chapter 26: Shattered Hope

"Look!" a soldier exclaimed, pointing towards the gate where four monstrous anathemas had gathered, standing beside each other as if in anticipation. Surrounding them, hundreds, if not thousands, of smaller anathemas waited patiently.

"Well, they're certainly up to something," Serene sighed. "If only an Ace were here, they'd be overjoyed at this spectacle. Why wasn't I deployed here as a B rank? With an area of effect attack, I could easily earn around 15,000 points from this sit...

Chapter 25: Distraction

"Is that the shadow clone technique?" The yellow-clad ninja's cringe-worthy comment reached Serena as my clone took a position in the corner. I adjusted my clone's posture to sit and close her eyes, ensuring its immobility didn't attract undue attention.

"Indeed. It seems you're up for some serious competition, Shadow of Light," Serena teased. "She possesses the very spell you coveted most."

The ninja expressed his frustration with a dramatic exclamatio...

Chapter 24: Secret Passage

"Everyone, line up!" Serene commanded as Mayor John led Alice's team and hers through a tunnel in the basement. This tunnel, with its sleek metal plates forming a cylindrical path, seemed clearly designed for VIP evacuation. It was narrow but clean, a detail that had gone unnoticed until now. Serene suggested scouting the route before considering it for civilian use, given its apparent exclusivity.

"The heck, it's so cramped. How do we expect to fit 5,000 people through here?" Re...

Chapter 65: The Entrance Ceremony

Having graduated, I am now entering high school. This is the crucial part. The journey of "The Assassinated Princess: Returning Back in Time to Live a Happy Life" begins now. The first scene unfolds as Claire enters the site for the magic examination. Magic examinations at Althemer Royal Academy are conducted to showcase a mage's talent and skill.

What she did at the site closely mirrored the book. Using a measuring tool, she was declared a Rank 8 Light Mage. Following this, she ...

Chapter 23: Barrier

"Finally done!" Shining sighed with relief as we reached Guardian Command under the moonlit sky. With the city quiet and mostly deserted, the moon shone brightly against the dark backdrop.

"Thank you so much!" My father and Mayor John expressed their gratitude upon our arrival.

"How did the evacuation go?" I inquired.

"We've successfully loaded three thousand people onto the ferry this afternoon," they reported.

"They should arrive in Eden by tomorrow if the ferry main...

Chapter 64: The Failure

Three months later, the attack on the Elderan Empire ended in failure. As the empire's forces marched through the forest, they were ambushed by the RGB musketeers and Elderan's army. Out of the ten thousand soldiers that set out, over three thousand perished within the forest. This news cast a shadow over every faction except for Shadowstep. Shadowstep had abstained from participating in the attack, thus avoiding heavy casualties. Their only losses occurred during a rescue operation to...

Chapter 22: Evacuation Part II

The jeeps were packed to the brim, with eight extra people from my personal bunker. After we arrived at Shelter One, we split up. One jeep, filled with survivors, headed to Guardian Command, while my team stayed behind at Shelter 1 to provide protection. Teaming up with another group of E-rank Magical Girls, our mission was to safeguard the shelter now that its barrier was deactivated, making it vulnerable to any anathema drawn by the dense concentration of refugees within.

Alice...

Chapter 21: Evacuation

"Magical Soldiers, could you communicate with the shelter residents? Although sound can't penetrate the barrier, light signals can. Inform them to deactivate their barrier," Serene instructed the Military Support to initiate the evacuation of Shelter 1's inhabitants.

Hearing the term "evacuation" stirred uncomfortable memories of my personal shelter and the moment when Nana left me without even a backward glance, igniting a sense of betrayal within me. I chided myself for harbori...

Chapter 20: Boss

"Chimeras can manifest in various forms. Analyzing the dungeon's archetype suggests this one likely possesses web-shooting capabilities, akin to Arachnomantis. Mana scans indicate it may harbor unique magical abilities, while physical analysis reveals its use of scythes for attack. Its vulnerability remains uncertain; traditionally, the head is a weak point, but given its placement at the tail's tip, it also utilizes it in its assaults."

"Regrettably, my clone was ...
