When they learned that I was Alexander Carlyle, they straightened up.

"I am Zella Vireo. This is my lord, His Highness Rithe Silvermoon.
"Silvermoon

　I couldn't help but parrot it.
　I know that name.

　It's the name of a royal family in one of several tributaries on the periphery of the empire.

I see. So that's why she's a princess.

　The lady knight Zella nodded.

"Yes.
What's this about helping with the asylum?
"Our country has shown reverence ever since it fell to the Empire a hundred years ago.
I guess so.

　Ask the wise man's sword on his back about the history of Silvermoon in real time.
　I'll ask the wise man's sword on his back about Silvermoon's history in real time, to make sure he's not lying to you.

"We don't want to fight the Empire again, we are too different in power, and we only need to protect our ancestral lands, our sacred lands.
I see.

　Spiritual Land.
　The sacred ground of the Silvermoon royal family.
　As long as one lives there, the royal family will remain young until death.

　At one time, the empire, mistakenly believing that this would give them immortality, advanced their armies and invaded the land.

　But when the emperor learned that the only people who could actually become immortal were the direct royalty of Silvermoon who lived in the spirit land, he had no choice but to give up, make them tributary and withdraw his army.

However, there are some forces within the royal family that don't like it: ......

　Zera's face twisted for a moment as she continued to explain.

"They have grown in strength, and now is an opportune time--

　I was about to say, huffing and puffing, when Zella.
　The hard-nosed female knight looks at me with a deathly frightened expression.

"Tell me, but first I need the truth.
...... yes. Rebellions have been rampant, and with the Empire weakened, now is the time to do something about it. We should raise an army and become independent of the Empire.
"I see.

　It's a story that's painful to hear.
　This is a story that looks like Eliza's fault, but it's not Eliza's fault.

　Eliza's father, the former emperor, was a man of stupidity.
　He was so badly judged that he was graded D and dropped by the commoners when he was reincarnated.

　That foolish emperor imposed an oppressive rule, but held back the rebellion with equal force.

　By contrast, the current emperor, Elisabeth, is a wise emperor.
　Good governance but also "loosened", so rebellions have been rife here since Elisa's accession.

　In other words, she is suffering from her father's negative legacy, Eliza.

"You can't win against the Empire. You can't win against the Empire. ......

　Zella bites down on a bitter worm and mutters.

　That pretty much sums up the situation.

If you stay in the country, you'll be carried along on the merry-go-round. If you refuse, you're killed. If you ride, the Empire will crush you and you'll be killed. If there's any chance of survival, it's now or never. Right.

　Zella nodded quietly.

"I see.

　I looked at Zella, and then Rietzsche, in that order.
　That makes sense.

　We need to talk.

"Eliza.

　I called the maid Eliza, who is in the shadows.

　Eliza came out with a maid-like blush.

"You wanted to see me, master?
I want to hear it. Is the emperor now going to be pardoned if he defected, or did he do a retreat?
If you don't mind me saying in general terms - the timing is not reasonable to hold them accountable.

　Eliza is not the emperor, but answers with a (,).
　Well, Eliza is willing to accept.

　I see.

　I don't know what's wrong, Eliza is looking at me a little unhappily.

"What's the matter, Eliza?
"......

　Eliza to be mute and mulled over.
　Think about it for a moment, and then you'll see.

　Eliza is not her father, she's trying to be a wise emperor.
　She's angry with me for daring to listen to generalizations.

I'm sorry, I guess I don't need to hear that.
"No.

　When I apologized, Eliza, who was in a slightly better mood, retreated into the shadows.
　I'll have to apologize a little more properly later.

　Be that as it may, it's just the two of us now.

Okay, I accept.
"Really?!
"Yes, Your Majesty will understand. I'll make sure of that.

　A relieved Zella and Reece looked at each other.

"Well, let's get some first aid in.


"First aid, is it?

　Zera craned her neck, wondering what was being done to her.

　I draw my wise man's sword and hold it to the ground.
　I use the sword of the baboons to amplify its magic.

Now I will cast the plough's wards on them. When it is applied, the princess will be invincible for as long as they are together, no matter what is done to her.
"There is such a thing ......
"Yeah, I'm going to go then,

　I closed my eyes and welded them together.

　With two opponents, an amplification device called the Philosopher's Sword, and constant training in magic, I was able to cast a spell on both of them more smoothly than I had in the past.
　I was able to cast a spell on them more smoothly than I did in the past.

　When I opened my eyes, I saw their faces as if they were unavailable and wanted to say something.

Don't worry, we're all good. Now the princess won't get hurt, no matter what they do to her. If you want to do that, you'll have to kill the guards first.
"Oh, thank you.
"Thank you, thank you. ......

　They still have something to say.
　Oh, I'll reveal it to you in the meantime.

　I used a sleep spell.
　I tied them up and put them to sleep if they were deliberately listening to me.

　Then I pulled the wise man's sword from the ground and lightly slashed Zera.

　The slash was swung down from the direction of the kesa.
　It's a strange feeling, responsive but not responsive.

This is how the princess is invincible. But the riffraff will aim at you, so you'll be invincible.
"...... huh?
"Yeah!

　The Amazing Two.

Why me?
It's okay, these people aren't listening. You're the princess. Is your name still Zera?　Or are you Princess Reece?
"Yeah, uh, that ......

　The female knight is confused when her hidden identity is discovered.

Why, why ......
For three reasons. First, your soul was more beautiful.

　I didn't dare say "rank", but another way to describe it.

"The princess and ...... this one maybe a handmaid?　It's a whole different spirit.
"......
And the soul and the body, I guess you could call it a fusion of soul and body. It's like a soul and a body that's been acclimated over a long period of time.

　That's the feeling I got from the soul-eating one, while I was draining and draining souls.

And finally. This was stupid of you.
"Wow, my?
You just said something like you actually witnessed a battle 100 years ago. Only the direct royalty in the spirit land have immortality.
"Ah, ......

　A woman knight who huffs and holds her mouth - and the princess.

　With the wise man's sword, the final answer to the question, the information is extracted.

"Reece Silvermoon. You're 256 years old this year.

　She was startled to death.
