Linnea tries to get something to prove it. But before she could, Neya looked at the Borg's face and seemed to notice something.

"Master Celetia, this man is familiar to me. I'm sure it's Borg Magtalis, the warrior chief of the Kingdom of Theorning.

　The Borg himself looked most surprised at Neya's words.

I'm not sure how you know me.

I'm sure you've heard of me.

I'm confident in my memory, but how could I have recruited a beautiful woman like you and not remembered her?

I never showed my real face. I never showed my real face, I was wearing a mask at the time.

　The Borg's eyes widened as if he had realized something.

"Oh, you're the Sword Princess, Neya Fromage? In just two years, you've become much sharper than you were then.

　In response to the surprised Borg, Neya lifted me up and said, "It's all thanks to the guidance of Master Walth.

"That's good to know. We would be honored if you would lend us some of your power.

　The Borg is impressed, but calmly directs his words not to me, but to Celetia.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I am Seretia Londobro, the first princess of the Kingdom of Euresia. I'm Seretia Londobro, the first princess of the Kingdom of Euresia, and I'd like to know if you'd like to proceed with this.

The Kingdom of Euresia ...... is a country near the Kingdom of Carlitz, I believe. I remember it as a country with a small territory but rich in nature, and the royal capital is reasonably developed.

I'm sure you do. You know it well.

　Victor's knowledge made Seretia blush and she put her hands on her hips and threw her chest out in a pompous manner.
　It's embarrassing that a princess would be so happy just to have her country recognized.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

As you can see, we are also here to defeat Era under the Crown System. It's impossible for you to unilaterally help the Kingdom of Theorning.

"I want to fight with you. If you're a follower of the Kingdom of Euresia, so be it.

What is your purpose? What is your purpose? Were you hoping to capture a powerful adventurer in the name of defeating Era? Or did you just want to get credit for defeating her?

"Lord Walth, please calm down. We have not approached you with such a guilty conscience," the Borg said, holding his hands in front of him.

　But from behind the Borg, Victor opens his big mouth and starts laughing loudly.

You're right, I was going to embrace the adventurer I knew.

　The Borg and Rinne began to panic as Viktor began to speak as if he was going to confess.
　But Viktor didn't stop and went on with his story.

But it's true that I tried to fight with you. I don't have the strength. The Borg and Rinne are good, but they can't defeat Era. Still, I am a devout follower of Chlorina. I knew Edina would never abandon me. He would give me the strength to fight Elah.

　Viktor gave me a passionate look.
　He may not be a bad guy, but to be honest, he's not the kind of guy I want to get involved with.
　I wonder if he's insane to say such a thing in this situation.

I'm sorry, but I'm not Edina's messenger. I have no reason to join the Kingdom of Theorning.

"...... Walth, wait a minute.

What, Seretia, are you suggesting we join forces with the Kingdom of Theorning?

　In light of the movements of the fake Ars, it is best to avoid contact with other parties, especially those in high positions.
　You never know where information about us might leak out, and I'd like to think that Celestia herself understands that.
　But Celestia looked at Victor and the three of us with the face of a princess, just as she had when we first met.

"Think about it. It was not the sovereign of the Kingdom of Theorning who decided this attack, but Lord Rivendale. The sovereign who has joined the group. It seems the Kingdom of Theorning is not monolithic.

"I am ashamed to say, Princess Celetia is right. I am not strong enough to eliminate those who seek the throne.

　Victor affirmed Celestia's words and spoke without hiding his inner feelings.
　After the death of the king I knew, Avert Vrigtsberg, and the accession to the throne of Victor, the kingdom of Theorining seems to be rapidly losing the power and prestige it once had.
　I don't know if that's true or if it's just an operation.
　Still, judging by the restlessness of the Borg and Rinne, and the way they were looking up to the heavens, it was clear which one it was.

I get it. I know what you're going through, Victor," Celestia said, showing a hint of sympathy. I'm not reluctant to cooperate, but what would be the benefit to us if we did?

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　But Neya and Phiel seemed to disagree, and Neya in particular seemed to be taking Seretia's story in stride, with an expression that said she deserved to be chosen by the god Edina.

If Lord Walth will not go down to the Kingdom of Theorning, then what he will be given will depend on his contribution.

We don't want the feat of defeating Era, but what will they give us for the feat of defeating Era?
