Vol. 3 Chapter 49: The Holy Kingdom's Envoy (Part 1)

The high bishop, Xenous, placed a hand on his forehead after reading the letter he received. The moment he knew who it came from, the stress already came to strike, even more so when he opened and read it. It was a letter from the Holy Kingdom’s envoy coming to Wisteria.

He expected something like this, however, the envoy was already on the move before he knew it. There would be no surprise if they were already close to Wisteria’s borders, and they didn’t even wait for a permissio...

Vol. 3 Chapter 48: Records & Pausing My Training

I was sitting down in a chair at a corner by the palace entrance to wait for the arrival of the packages. With me of course were my three servants, but additional were the normal palace servants waiting with us. As lax as I am, I need only do nothing and let other people do the work.

Letting people do the work for you surely was the best. But I guess that sort of thing would be expected, setting aside the fact that I’m the princess, I was also a delicate lady. Surely you can’t expec...

Vol. 3 Chapter 47: Bookworm Estelia & Socializing Plans

Aaaah, books, lots of books, shelves of books. Objects of knowledge where one can learn about lots of things — histories, math, science, and also read stories. Stories where someone got transported to a place where animals talk — okay, I should say, I first expected that would be Earth exclusive type of thing, but it would not! — or stories of where the power of friendship wins against the face of evil!

But that’s also a place where bullshits may be learned! Especially the latte...

Vol. 3 Chapter 46: Find A Friend

I was sick for three days, three fucking days. I have never been that sick! Sickness rarely infects me back in my old world, after all the needles they stuck me with. I heard they were vaccines to numerous kinds of diseases, mostly the common ones, even the rare ones.

More than that, they also injected us with medicines that allow our bodies to fight off fatal viruses, even AIDS. They even have medicines that strengthen our immune systems, modify them to fight off cancer. And thus, we w...

Vol. 3 Chapter 45: Death of a God

It was a boring day, but yet it was peaceful. Boring is good, I tell you. There’s nothing to worry about yet. And indeed, it was a joyful thing to have. To chill and to do nothing.

Yes, I am doing nothing now but laying down on my bed even in daytime.

After breakfast, I went straight to bed. You can imagine how surprised everyone was when I said that. It’s lazy Estelia time! All by my lonesome in my room.

Been here for hours. Unexpectedly, it was more pleasant than I tho...

Vol. 3 Chapter 44: A New Associate & Some PR (Part 2)

And thus, we headed to the knights' barracks. It was just near the training grounds, but I had never actually been inside. I mean, it's a place for men, so one can only imagine what the inside would be like. As for the women's part of the barracks, I wonder if it would be nice to have a little tour.

The men's and women's barracks were two different buildings, but they were just next to each other. When we arrived in the area, we were greeted by knights standing guard or doing pretty muc...

Once we were done with our pleasant breakfast, I went ahead to handle some stuff, the little aftermath, you could say, of our operation. Father and Mother would be preparing for the arrival of Count Welford — yeah no way I’m getting in that.

Eleden would be leading all the paperwork for now that had something to do with the damages in the city, and some other stuff. I didn’t exactly know what they all would entail, but that’s not my job. ‘Oh but Estelia, you’re the reaso...

Vol. 3 Chapter 42: A Profound Relief

I removed the plate that covered my delicious hot coffee, still steaming nicely, and smelled so sweet. I wrapped my finger gently around the handle and lifted it up to take an elegant sip. The warm and sweet choco traveled through my tongue into my throat, and it warmed up my stomach. It was not as delicious as the one I tasted in the city, but we’ll get there.

The room, on the other hand, after Allie was dragged out of the room, formed a strange and cold atmosphere. Everyone was sile...

Vol. 3 Chapter 41: The Wicked Princess (Part 2)

The door to the dungeon heavily creaked open, and I stepped inside. The smell was foul and rusty. The sound of my steps and those of my two male servants echoed faintly across the corridor. The deeper and further we went inside, the smell of blood reached my nose.

The edges of my skirt immediately darkened to the dirty floor. But nothing I could do about it, I was a bit lazy to change my clothes as I will be changing anyway when I get out of here. Besides, I had to visit the dungeon imm...

Vol. 3 Chapter 40: The Wicked Princess (Part 1)

I stood by a far corner of the palace entrance, watching important figures coming in, namely the capital nobles. With what happened to the city yesterday, it was essential for the nobles to assemble and discuss what happened and how they should proceed. Downside, they did not know what exactly just happened and what led to it.

Father would need to inform them of the context, while also holding some information back. Especially those that had something to do with me.

Speaking of wh...

Vol. 3 Chapter 39: The Prophecy (Part 2)

It was afternoon, and the sun was close to setting, while I was feeling impatient. I was waiting for the answer to my question, an answer that would come from the prisoners. Perhaps someone would think I would let another day pass by to have a little rest for everyone, but no. Why should I slow down when they are within my grasp?

I stood by the window, staring outside, counting the time that passed. It was taking a while, they wouldn’t even give the answer that easily? Are they trying...

Notice

Hello! So I'll be starting my On the Job training very soon. Because of that, things might get a little rough on my end, meaning, chapter updates might get a delayed. I will be on this for a couple of months, or a bit more. To be exact 486 work hours of Job training. I'm saying this so you can get a heads up as to why I have yet to post a chapter for more than 4 days which I frequent.

But I will try to update on schedule as I can, and perhaps make the chapters lengthy if I take longer...

Vol. 3 Chapter 38: The Prophecy (Part 1)

I left the tending of Allie to a priest as she cried. She must have cared for that beast indeed, although that thing was too much trouble. Fortunately, we didn’t suffer any losses. It would be a bad look to me if someone died. I value the image, you know. I also don’t want the pressure of thinking about other noble households, their complaints and outrage.

That aside, this battle here should be coming to an end. However, I have received no news from the two vice-captains, namely Ast...

Vol. 3 Chapter 37: Capture (Part 9)

The mist was cold and grayish white, it swirled around with a powerful wind of its own. All in all, almost like a blizzard, or a snow storm. There were even small frosts mixed in with the wind and fog.

The moment my mists scattered, however, I felt the shackles restraining the beast break.

I exhaled a white-colored breath, due to the cold. That being said, I didn’t feel the cold too intensely, just bearable. In fact, the mist and the wind were avoiding me somewhat, but not compl...

I glared at the two annoyances as I exhaled the air in my lungs, then crimson barriers appeared from thin air around my body. They formed and connected to each other like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle into some sort of armor.

But of course it did not cover my entire body. I still need some space to nimbly move around. Truth be told, I didn’t want to expose my abilities like this, but I needed to be safe myself. These two non-humans were willing to die just to kill me here and now. I canno...

“Buy time for the team to regroup. I trust that you can take on the injured beast? Just make time.” I said to Vernon.

“I can.”

“Okay. Rogan you stay with me.”

No way I’m going on this without a meat shield.

“I’ll begin…” I raised my left hand, and crimson translucent plates appeared beside me in great numbers, more than a couple of dozen.

With a wave of my hand, they flew forward like a flock of birds. Rogan looked at them with shock on his ...

What a glorious day for chaos! Although I don’t mean stuff like the city burning or something like that. Chaos for my enemies! Today’s the day they’re going down!

But I hope everything’s gonna be alright~.

These non-human enemies were not to be undermined, they’re plenty strong. Which was kinda unfair, but I guess that's just how things were. Equality is a lie, it is merely a concept held on by those who know how truly inferior they are to others, or those who are in den...

Evry, in his beast form, one that resembled a tiger, crashed through the wall of a building after encountering a group of humans. With his sheer size and strength, bashing through wooden walls was trivial. Behind him followed another beastman with brown and black fur, a form resembling a jaguar.

Everyone else separated from them, it was every man for themselves. Even how much Evry disliked it, he couldn’t blame anyone, especially with the situation, with the humans suddenly appearing ...

The civilians were being led out of the area, the knights guiding their way. About two in total here, including Alan. This was the last ring in the formation, where the civilians were still being brought to safety. And despite the fighting having already begun, there were still civilians that remained in the area.

They had to rush things, to the people’s distress. Alan felt a bit bad that fighting suddenly sprang out while the people were having their usual day, but that was just how ...

A female knight stood on top of a rooftop, facing the direction where the center of the operation was taking place. She sported a white Wisterian gold and purple armor, so noble and beautiful. In her arm was her helm, which she had removed so she could see more of her surroundings and take in the fresh air.

The knight, Ayana, narrowed her eyes, watching and waiting. She ought not to be lax in this mission. This was the largest and most important mission that she had experienced to date,...

One elf used magic to spawn plants to stop the two knights hot on their tails. The thorny vines lashed out into buildings, slowing down and then stopping the two knights. Surprisingly, there were no civilians around anymore.

But that was not important, the important thing was that they, the four elves, got through the humans. To their surprise and lack of understanding, the knights behind them unleashed a burst of light in the sky.

Elivar glanced behind him, wondering what they we...

The fresh air was truly refreshing, and the morning sun was warm. A beautiful girl sipped her freshly made hot chocolate, and she wondered why there were barely any like this in the palace. After that beautiful, gentle, elegant, mesmerizing sip, she lowered the cup slowly onto the table.

At the moment, she was outside of a particular building, along with a few people. To shield the people from her overwhelming and blinding beauty, she covered herself from head to knees with her brown cl...

Arnaut arrived at the area where it was said the execution would take place, actually casually, so as not to attract attention. A crowd had already begun to gather in the area, people were of course expected to watch. At least, the ones who were callous enough to be able to watch multiple deaths.

At this intersection, at the center, lay a high platform, and upon it was a wooden object where the prisoner’s head would be placed. A couple of guards were already at the base, keeping watch...

“Allie’s alive?”

One of the beastman asked in reflex after Arnaut explained to them the events earlier. It was the early night, and the team in the city had all returned to the hideout. At the moment, they assembled in the lobby.

Usually, a team or two would be allowed to stay out in the city to keep watch. However, after all that had transpired that resulted in their numbers to dwindle, Arnaut had to prohibit it and had everyone return to the hideout at the first sign of da...

Her ears rang, her heart in pain and racing, almost like how one feels during heartbreak. She sat down on the cold stone floor, her back leaning on a wall. She could not bear to stand anymore, her legs felt so weak as if they would crumble the moment she gave strength.

Her throat was dry, her eyes bloodshot, cheeks stained with her tears. She held both her hands as they trembled uncontrollably. How could the world, people, be so cruel? The weight thrown upon her by the world was too hea...

When he returned to the street crowded with humans, he looked up, feeling intense heaviness in his chest.

“You made the right choice.” said the elf.

He didn’t respond but only continued walking away. He just wanted to put some distance between him and Allie, perhaps because he was remorseful of his choice, he felt terrible for betraying her. He didn’t want to, but it must be done.

How much he wanted to save her… even now, both his mind and heart were confl...

Arnaut quickly grabbed and wore his cloak while rushing down the stairs, with Evry following close behind him. On the way of course, they encountered the elf guarding the door. The elf narrowed his eyes curiously at the two rushing beastmen.

Arnaut sternly gazed at the elf as he noticed that he appeared to be thinking of blocking their way in an attempt to have his question answered.

“May I ask where you are going?”

“We need to meet with someone,” replied Arnaut. “...

Evry walked out of the dreary alley and merged himself into the human crowd. He was still coping with Allie suddenly appearing after the long assumption that she would never be seen again. But to think she was still alive, although it seemed as though there was a price to that. She was in complete distress.

There was both fear and desperation in her eyes, which disturbed Evry a little. He had known her when she was still a young human running from monsters. Of course, he didn’t care a...
