To a point in time, a few days earlier, after Alice had abandoned Hadrian in the gardens of the castle.- Alice Pov -I found myself lying on an unfamiliar bed, not like the ones in a palace. I could immediately tell the difference, and it wasn't due to the texture or the material of the mattress... I don't know how to explain it."huff." I have no other response."Even though I more or less know his intentions for taking me here today, I don't mind because he believes in me... hehe."After separating from my brother, or more accurately, fleeing due to my embarrassment, I unintentionally found myself smiling while thinking about him. Of course, I had not forgotten what had happened before.After gazing out the window, I got up and left the room.I went to the dining room alone because it was getting late, and of course, it was still empty. After waiting a long time, I finally saw the maids preparing food and beverage for the table.Not long after that, I started to see some people com
Alice and Hadrian spent the second day of their stay in this Castle.- Alice Pov -After what happened last night, I had every intention of sleeping in the same room as my brother, but I ultimately decided against it. I prefer that you don't know the reason.After that, the day passed, I fell asleep, and while it was still early in the morning, Sascha, dressed in her battle attire, went to wake me up and dragged me out of bed without hesitation.I have no choice but to obey her because she is more powerful than I am. she told me that we would go to the forest not too far away from this Castle for today's training.After that, I get ready to put on the clothes I typically wear during training to make it easier for me to move around.As soon as I stepped outside the Castle, the first thing that took me by surprise was the soldiers already lined up in front of Sascha and me.They wore uniforms made of light iron that protected vital areas, and there were a total of one hundred, male and
- Alice Pov - When I opened my bright red eyes, I saw several soldiers having a heated discussion around a rectangular table. They were discussing a strategy called "shut all your mouths together." Of course, I'm joking. It's just that these soldiers are too serious every time a strategy meeting is held. However, that doesn't mean I take this training lightly. However, it is possible that he influenced me because you already know that I was closer to my brother when I was a child. For example, I accompanied him when he went to the palace to discuss issues with my mother. He never loses his composure in the presence of older people or high-ranking officials in the palace, and despite his young age, he is capable of coming up with some novel concepts on occasion. It's been nearly a week since my brother brought me here, and for the past few days, I've been tasked with leading a 100-person army to crush the enemies who had been prepared in this vast forest. By the way, where did Sa
- Alice Pov -When I heard the woman scream, it took me by surprise, and I was even more taken aback when she started to run towards the ragged tent that was set up on the edge of the lake not too far away from where I was standing.I casually recited a nature-type binding spell, which resulted in the woman falling to the ground.Because She had become entangled in the green grass, which, upon being stepped on, had a springy consistency but had suddenly become rigid around her legs."catch her," I said it with an expression of disinterest and a tone that suggested I was bored.When they heard my order, three soldiers approached the woman, who showed signs of fear.Because the woman wouldn't stop screaming, one of the soldiers tried to stuff a cloth into her mouth to make her quiet."As was to be expected, She is too weak, and She appears to be a normal person who is at a level lower than 5," I muttered something under my breath while raising my eyebrows, but I paid no attention to the
Back at the castle, where Hadrian and Sascha carried out the lewd act, to be exact, Sascha's breasts were roughly fondled, and she came dangerously close to passing away because Hadrian strangled her neck. - Hadrian Pov - At the moment, I am enjoying my breakfast at the dining table, and right next to me is Sascha, who has a happy smile plastered across her face. In the meantime, there is an old geezer in front of me. He is different from Sascha and me because we dressed in casual clothes this morning. This old geezer was outfitted in what appeared to be a bulky suit of iron armor. However, it didn't seem to be causing him any discomfort at all. Because he needs to put food in his mouth, he is not wearing a helmet at the moment, and as a result, I can see the sunlight reflecting off his bald head. Oh, I haven't mentioned his name yet. He is Baldwin, a formidable general and a knight who is highly respected by the people of the Zeitgeist Empire. At this table, only three people
- Sascha Pov -"Just a little bit more... ahhh, am I less attractive, since the young master always stops when the mood reaches its peak?" I said in an irritated tone as I spurred the magical horse I was riding.Even after my young master had teased me just before I left, my entire body felt hot, and the rate at which my heart was beating did not slow down.Because of the magic I cast, what was previously a wet spot on my crotch is now completely dry, as if the earlier incident never occurred."I have had a lot of joy over the past few days due to the fact that I am able to get closer to the young master."I continued to make my way towards the woods on this magical horse while talking to myself and flashing a broad smile.But then, as if remembering something, I said, "I'm quite surprised that they can hold the princess for this long, should I increase their salary? Of course, that is premised on the notion that they are still alive."The individuals I am referring to are not members
- Alice Pov - After I severed the head of the old man in front of me, his body fell to the side. In the meantime, his head flew and landed close to the run-down tent, where the people were becoming increasingly terrified. I have this strange urge to finish him off with my own hands. Why don't I just use a sword? because I am a 'Great Magus.' I just finished performing very powerful wind magic and wrapping it around my hands in order to make it capable of penetrating even the toughest metal. What emotions do I experience when I sever his head from his body? There is none to be found. Even my hands are not showing any signs of shaking at all. Perhaps it's because I don't have any emotional attachment to other people besides my family. It's possible that... Now, for some reason, I feel the need to relax in my brother's arms. Yes, as soon as all of this is finished, I'll be able to do it in a little while. After conversing with myself inside my head, I slowly walked toward the
Alice Pov After making my way up to the forest's entrance, I was able to observe smoke rising into the air from the heart of the forest. "I appreciate your small help earlier," I said it in a hushed voice as I turned toward Sascha, who was standing behind me. I don't want to go into too much detail because I'm not overly enthusiastic, and, for some reason, I'm a little bit tired. "As always, I am very impressed by the very sharp eyes that you possess," Remarked Sascha with a bright smile on her face, but it soon became apparent that she had more to say after all. "In fact, I'm the one who wants to apologize for the soldiers' behavior earlier. It was a hard slap for me because I've said in the past that they will always follow orders." "Even though I've seen a lot of soldiers who try to disobey the orders of their superiors, it still makes me feel very embarrassed when Princess Alice meets one of them." Sascha spoke at length in an effort to provide a justification for what had
