Cecilia had made quite a reputation for herself as a child, leveling up by mercilessly hunting down any demons near the royal capital.
Thanks to that, a rumor had spread among the demons in the region around Theresia:
Beware of the Silver-Haired Butcher!
Her cold, emotionless expression as she cut down demon after demon had earned her the nickname—like a slaughterhouse worker cleaving through livestock.
Demons who lived in close ...

A small commotion had broken out in the capital.
“I’m going too!”
“No, you’re not!”
Draaaaag…
Cecilia was being dragged along by Kairon, while clinging to his arm for dear life.
Even half-sitting and dragging her feet, she was no match for his stride.
“You’re too young for this!”
“I’m active duty already!”
Kairon had donned a plate mail set he hadn’t touched in nearly 10 ...

Edward’s hypothesis was a sound one.
Cecilia agreed. If four of the Demon Realm’s Dukes had begun to move, that could only mean one thing—
For some reason, the Demon King was dead, and the major powers were gathering to fill the void.
Still, one big question remained...
‘How the heck does he know?’
Edward had claimed the intel came from the Empire, but that didn’t make sense.
The Demon Dukes resided near the...

“Hmm, looks like you’ve still got one or two swings left in you. Let’s try blocking three more.”
The new knights were getting a firsthand taste of hell.
Cecilia wanted to see their limits.
More than that, she wanted them to surpass those limits.
To that end, she made a decision:
Infinite PK.

But if you keep getting attacked? You’ll desperately find a way ...

Fortunately, Rick was still alive.
As the cheers of the crowd roared around her, Cecilia basked in the moment and spoke confidently.
Among knights, nobility was a given—at worst, you were treated as a lesser noble, and the more skilled you were, the more likely you came from a prestigious house. So naturally, Cecilia’s speech was long-winded.
But the message was incredibly simple:
—If you truly want to become a knight, come to Windsor.

A knight’s pride was no trivial thing.
When insulted, they would throw down their gauntlet and challenge the offender to a duel, regardless of whether they were a Sword Sovereign or even the Sword Saint himself.
This wasn’t just about strong pride. For many, dueling strong opponents was the fastest way to improve their skills.
As a result, duels were as common as breakfast, and losing wasn’t considered particularly disgraceful. On the contrary,...

Although the reduced number of recruits caught Cecilia off guard, she still carried out what had to be done.
"From this moment on, you will live under the name of Windsor. However—"
Cecilia paused, glancing at the rigid posture of the newly inducted recruits, tense with anticipation.
…What was that line she was supposed to say at the induction ceremony?
Ah, right. It was something like this.

[If you wish to become a Windsor Knight, come to Theresia immediately.]
‘True luxury needs no advertisement.’
Just as Cecilia had expected, this simple announcement caused a sensation.
Independent knights who had been waiting for this day, mercenaries with dreams of becoming knights someday—within less than a week, a considerable number of applicants poured in from all over.
“Lady Cecilia, where should we gather the applicants?”

“Beatrice Windsor! Reporting for duty!”
Beatrice saluted Cecilia and shouted in a loud voice.
Seeing her in the official uniform of the Windsor Knights brought a wave of emotion crashing over Cecilia.
‘I thought I wouldn’t see a cute newbie girl for at least another year…’
All the hardships she had endured flashed vividly through her mind.
How much had she squeezed the royal capital’s designers just to get that uniform made?...

‘First, I should go get Beatrice. I’ll drag her into a dungeon and get her leveled up.’
Having just been granted three apprentice slots, Cecilia was simply elated.
It had been nearly 10 years since she joined the black company known as the Windsor Knights.
At last, Cecilia would have her own team!
‘Let’s build it with fresh, green newbies only!’
Age: under 20.
Skill level: solo-clearing same-level raids would be ideal?

Disciplinary Action
The reason Cecilia was so obsessed with the title “Sword Princess” wasn’t just because it sounded cute — though it definitely did — but because it served a very specific, strategic purpose.
That title represented the lowest official rank among high-ranking knights.
The list of benefits was long, but the most obvious was this:
Her workload was drastically lighter.
Once you reached the level of Sword Sovereign, you were expected to h...

The battlefield is like a delicately balanced scale.
If the weight shifts even slightly to one side, the entire balance collapses, and disaster becomes inevitable.

Peace returned to the Gartane territory.

The minions who had been hiding throughout the domain had ascended along with the death of their master, the Deception.
However, the disappearance of the demon Deception did not mean that all problems had been solved.
The mental and emotional wounds the people had suffered were immeasurable from the start.

"He was the first one I killed."
Without preamble, Marcher Lord Aldred, who had told her he had something to show, began speaking as they walked.
"He was a knight who returned after 5 years."

Aldred was a little surprised, but then let out a dry laugh.
“You said you'd resolve this in 3 days?”
“Yes.”
“How? By gathering all the townspeople in one place and slaughtering the demons?”
The Windsor Knights—unmatched specialists in demon hunting.
But Aldred knew all too well the hidden implication behind that reputation: "by any means necessary."
He’d already experienced it firsthand—deeply, painfully.

"It's… surprisingly peaceful?"
The two arrived safely at the gates of the Gartane County.
What surprised them was how livable the place looked. Beatrice had imagined something grim and gray when she heard they were heading to a warfront, but the city still felt warm.
“This land is under the jurisdiction of a frontier marquis,” Cecilia explained. “The threat of demons is always close, and if everyone fled in fear, no one could live here....

Belgast was dragged away by the furious train staff.
Though a more thorough investigation would be needed, based on his confession, he was a terrorist who believed the train was “a devil’s tool” and had to be destroyed.
Well, a textbook case of your average unhinged magic zealot.
Either way, the matter had little to do with Cecilia, so she declined the conductor’s offer of a reward. She told them to keep the credit.

“Yeah. Now that the emergency alert's been lifted, time to get back to my usual work.”
Just like everyone else, Leoric was carrying a massive backpack.
