The female knight Zella renamed Princess Riette.
　Rietje in the form of a princess, renamed Zella.

　These two, along with Xiaomei, who had been brought here from the magic school, were the four people who used flying magic to fly to Carlisle's house.
　The four of us used flying magic to fly to Carlisle's house.

The ...... Alexander.

　In the sky, Xiaomei asked in a timid voice.

What is it, Xiaomei?
"Were those people willing to do nothing?
You mean the people who attacked Princess Reece?

　You will be able to get a good idea of what you are looking for.
　They were curious because it was their business.

It won't do you any good. If we just let him go, he'll escape on his own and spread the word.
"Rumor, is it?
Yes. The rumor that the knights would have to come after her, and that Princess Rietzsche was protected by the Imperial Father. I wanted you to spread these two rumors, so I let them spread.
That's right.

　Xiaomei nodded quietly and understandably.
　At the same time, Reece and Zera could see that they were both relieved.

　Flying with the three of them, they soon arrived at the mansion.

　A corner of the yard, a large, empty space that we dared to make large.
　A space I'm using for my return landing.

　There, I drop the three women off slowly.

　At some distance I see a maid clattering into the distance.
　It looks like they're in a hurry.

"Agnes

　I called out to her, who was my maid.
　Agnes stopped, and when she saw that it was me, she ran up to me with a happy face.

Welcome home, master.
"Yeah, I'm back. What's more important, what are you doing here?　It sounds like you're in a bit of a rush.
The water supply in the house has been damaged a little bit, and we are in the process of repairing it.
That's a lot of work.

　Buildings and towns with a certain standard of living, such as this Carlisle mansion, the royal palace, or the imperial city, have a water supply.
　A steady water supply is a major factor in sanitation, and just having it makes you much less prone to disease.

　Spending a lot of money on it when the country was founded led to the subsequent strength of the empire.

......

　Somehow I was curious about the rank of the soul of the first emperor who ordered the waterworks construction when he was reborn.
　And I thought that the empire was largely unshaken by the waterworks, despite the previous emperor's misdeeds.

I'm sorry to hold you back. Good luck with the repairs.
"Yes!　Master.
"Mr. Alexander, can I come and help you?
"Xiaomei?　Well, you're good at ice magic. I wonder if I can count on you.
I'll take care of it!

　The enthusiastic Xiaomei left with Agnes.
　I thought with the way she looked, they would be finished today.

　Next, I turned around to find ...... to lay them to rest.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on with the newer, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.

You will be able to find out what's going on.
"Isn't she ...... an Agnes member?
"You know?
Yes, I have a certain amount of history with the member Viscount. The last time I saw him was when he was this young.

　Riette held her palms up to her knees.
　She'd be about a year or two old at that level.

　I'm not sure I'd recognize her, and no wonder Agnes didn't notice.

　I took Reece and Zella into the house and went straight to my study.

　I took out a piece of paper on my desk, wrote a letter in proper script, put it in an envelope and sealed it with my seal.

　And while they were wondering.

"Eliza.

　From the shadows called the maid Eliza.

"You wanted to see me, master?

　Eliza, acting as a perfect maid as ever.
　I handed her an envelope.

"Your task, give this to the Emperor.
"To Your Majesty, is it?
"Yeah. 100% in Your Majesty's hands (、、、、、、、). Because you're the only one who can do it.
"I understand. I'll take care of it.
"Get your reply from His Majesty.
"Yes.

　Eliza nodded, put the envelope in her pocket, bowed to the maid and left the study.

　Looking away from it, and then turn toward the two of them.



You'll hear back from me in a few days, so please wait for me.
"Yes.

　They--especially Reece--were visibly relieved.

　It seemed to relax her, and she staggered and collapsed into a heap.

Reece!
"Princess!

　Zella in her princess form hurriedly hugged Riette's upper body.

"It's okay ...... that,
"Yes!

　Zella hurriedly took out a palm-sized water bottle and put it on Rietje's mouth.
　In an instant, Reece, who had become paper complexioned and looked like a very sick person, weakly moved her throat up and down and swallowed it.

　Then a little bit of red came back to his formerly white complexion.

What's the matter with you?　What's wrong with you?

　It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of it.

The princess is like this when she comes out of the spiritual land. Without the power of the earth that comes from the spirit world, the princess is ......
"I see.

　After hearing Zera's explanation, I understood the situation in an instant.
　She might be immortal if she stayed inside the spiritual land, but she could die if she left the spiritual land.
　It's called conditional immortality.

''Then what's with the water?
It is the water of the Sacred Fountain, the heart of the sacred ground. Containing much of the power of the Sacred Fountain, it will help you get through a little.
So what's wrong with losing it?

　Zella nodded gravely.

I see, so we should do something about that first.
"Mi, will you get me some water?

　Zella's hopeful face, as if she had seen the Messiah.

Let's just follow me. Let's see if I can walk.
"Yes ......

　Rietje, who still looks not so good, but still recovered enough to walk.
　I took Reece and Zella out of the study.

Lily.
"Yes!

　Call the maid Lily from the shadows.

"What's your spare guest room?
This way.

　Walk out with Lily's lead.
　The Carlisle mansion is originally a duke's house, guests come quite often.

　Even when I'm not here, the emperor often comes.
　That's why the guest rooms are quite lavishly built.

　In one of them, I was guided by Lily.

Thank you.
"Yes!

　Rewarded, Lily happily walked back into the shadows.

　I turned to Reece and the others.

'Are you okay in this room?　We'll let you two stay for a while, but if you don't like it, we'll move you to another room.
Thank you for your concern. I'm a helper and there's nothing more selfish than that.
I see.

　I draw the wise man's sword on my back and thrust it at the floor.

　Amplifying my magic, I first welded the room.

There we go.
"Thank you.
I'll do it later.
"Huh?　Isn't this warding to protect us at ......?
Not exactly. Zella, could you give me a little bit of that water?
"Let's see. ......

　Zella looked at her master Rietzsche for confirmation.
　What's important, the lifeblood of the Lord.
　In a double sense, it was not her decision to make.

　When asked for permission, Rietzsche nodded quietly and Zella took out a canteen and handed it to me.

　I opened it and let a little drop of water drip onto the wise man's sword.
　The droplets touched the sword and then floated up a bit, forming a ball in the air.

Thank you.

　Return the canteen to Zera.

　Through the philosopher's sword--the baboon hawk--he felt and remembered the power of the holy spring water.
　And what he remembered, he expanded his consciousness through the wise man's sword.

　Through the ground, expanding consciousness.
　Looking for the same power--there it was.

　thicker than this water, more pure and uncluttered.
　I found such power of the earth.

　I make a tube in the ground that holds power.

　Like water and smell, power in most cases flows from a place where there is more and denser to a place where there is less and thinner.

　If you connect a channel of power underground, called a tube, the power flows through the tube into this room.

　The power of the spirit land that flows in is trapped in a ward and fills the room.



　Soon, the room was filled with a thick and unusual "power" that even I, who had nothing to do with it, could tell.

　Reece looks much more pale compared to earlier.
　On the other hand, you can't believe what's happened.

This is ......
"I've drawn strength from the spirit land, I hope this is okay.
"Yeah, yeah ...... I didn't know you could do this ......

　I never thought I'd live more than 200 years, and .
　Riette marveled.
