The royal palace of the Kingdom of Euresia is small, and from what I could see, there is not even a courtyard. In such a place, the princess brought me to a place on the rooftop that was large enough to hold some training.
　There were only waist-high walls on all sides, and it was nice to be able to see the whole country.

You've got a lot of nerve leaving me here.

　In spite of her words, the princess is looking down on the city next to me with a somewhat proud expression.
　The princess seems to be satisfied with the fact that the city, though small, has managed to maintain a reasonable size.

When I say, "It's not big, but it's growing," she immediately replies, "That's too much to ask.

I'm going to show you my power over the four attributes so that you can have such a big attitude toward me. Be amazed.

　The princess stepped away from me and held out her hands.
　Apparently, she's going to show me her power here and now.

"Four major attributes, that's great.

"Hmmm, isn't it? You should be more surprised.

　The four major attributes are fire, water, wind, and earth.
　Mages who can control these four attributes are the most sought after in the world.
　Mages themselves are few in number, and the number of those who can control multiple attributes is rapidly decreasing.
　Incidentally, I am the only man in the world who can control these four major attributes, plus light, dark, and no attributes.

　The princess easily performed the most difficult task of controlling multiple attributes at the same time right in front of my eyes.
　Water and earth appeared in her right hand, and fire and wind in her left.
　Up to that point, it was certainly something worth marveling at. But then I felt something strange.

I'm sorry, but is that it? I couldn't help but say, "......".

　The magic that the princess was using was all fourth grade magic, the lowest grade.
　It was also of poor quality, lacking in stability.

　Perhaps the princess didn't expect my words, but she looked flustered and said, "Wow, you're really a slave that I've approved, that you can talk so big after seeing my magic.

　Having released the spells that she had been using simultaneously, the princess began to concentrate on one spell.
　With her hands clasped together in front of her chest, the way she formulated one attribute was so serious that I couldn't help but feel a little excited, wondering what level of magic she was planning to cast.
　After all, it is difficult to use all four attributes at the same time, so they must have made it complicated. If you focus on one attribute, you should be able to perform a good amount of magic.

You seem to be able to look like a slave. You can look like a slave when you see my most powerful magic.

　The princess raised her clasped hands above her head and unleashed a fire spell.
　There was a small flame flickering, reminiscent of a lizard.
　It's a solid third-class spell that doesn't lack stability like the previous one, but because of the lack of magic power, it's on a small scale and poorly executed.
　I couldn't stop my mouth from hanging open at the result, which was not much at all, despite all the exaggeration.

The princess smiled happily and said, "Beautiful magic, isn't it?　You can be more surprised," she said, looking up at it with an ecstatic expression.

　I wanted to say that was a misunderstanding, but I pushed the thought to the bottom of my mind and clapped my hands.
　I was sure that there were few people who could use this level of magic without any quirks and according to the textbook.

"As expected, Your Highness. That's exemplary third grade magic.

"Well, third grade magic? ...... Oh, that's right, you're a slave, you've never seen magic before, that's understandable. It may not look fancy, but it's definitely first class magic! The princess said with sweat on her forehead.

　I couldn't tell if she was serious or lying, and I was deeply puzzled.
　Deciding that it would do no good to push her further, I said, "I'm not very well educated, and I was very rude to Her Highness. I bowed my head and said, "Please forgive my rudeness.

No, it's okay. I'm forgiving," she said, turning her face away from me.

　Her profile looks very uncomfortable.
　This is almost certainly a sign that she understands her own level of magic.
　The four attributes are really a big deal, but there are so many more flaws that I can only describe them as clunkers.
　As a princess and a contractor, she can't afford to back down in front of her slaves. It's only cute that she's not a real idiot if she's just pretending to be something she's not.

As I was about to say, "Now, Your Highness, about the crown system...," she held out her right hand to stop me.

"Could you please stop saying 'Your Highness'?

What do you mean?　What do you mean? Would it be better if I called you Master?

That's not what I meant. That's it, that's it.

　The princess was slurring her words and mumbling something in an impatient tone.

Would it be better if I called you by your name?

"Yes, of course.

"Then ---- Master Lundbro.

No, ...... is not.

　After a short pause, I said, "Master Celestia? I replied with some hesitation.
　But the princess replied, "Oh, that's a shame.

What?

　I couldn't help but think that I sounded stupid.
　I have no idea what's so regrettable.
　Is it correct to call you by your full name, Master Seretia Londobro every time?
　As I was thinking about this, the princess coughed lightly.

I'll allow you to call me Seretia. And, although it may be difficult for you as a slave, use an equal tone of voice. If you talk like that when you're out in the world, you'll make me an easy target. And I don't want people to know that the Londobros have a guard slave.

　It's true, if they know I'm royalty just by my words, it will bring unnecessary danger. Besides, the fact that I only have one escort slave shows that I am not blessed with any subjects. It's not like when I was a prince and I challenged the Crown System by myself. Normally, the one who achieves the most with the least number of people is recognized as the superior one. However, if you have a squire, it is different if you have only slaves with you.



Well, Seretia, I look forward to working with you.

"Yes, yes.

　The princess turned to me with a surprised expression.

　I didn't care about the princess, I said, "And get some new clothes. If I don't, there'll be too much difference between me and Celestia, and she'll know I'm a slave at a glance," I continued.

"Well, okay, ----, but you're changing too much, aren't you? The princess said with a slight wince.

　I smiled at her and said, "Like I told you. I've got guts," I told her.
