"Urgent, someone has attacked. The security forces are currently working to intercept the attacker.

　The report came to me early in the morning, just as the sun was rising.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the same time, I hear a loud noise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Could it be that the warriors of Atmos had arrived?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then we must respond quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the third princess of Briaria, I am in charge here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Charlotte! I'm coming!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please run away, Miss Charlotte. It's not safe here.

"What is that, ......, what is that? It's amazing that the most advanced magic weapons of the Brillia Magic Kingdom can be so easily defeated. ....... I can't believe it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Lady Charlotte, it's not safe here. Please leave now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What are you talking about? I'm in charge here. I can't just leave everyone here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You mustn't. I don't know who they are, but their magical weapons were destroyed with such ease! And that man used an attack I've never seen before. Pull back now, Miss Charlotte. Hey, you guys, get Charlotte to safety.

"Ha!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Upon receiving the news, I headed for the scene, which was already a battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An army of men I had never seen before was pouring into the area and attacking the guards.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the Briaria Mage Nation is always trained to respond to sudden attacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They should have been able to respond immediately to such a situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there was an unexpected scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magical weapons have a proven track record of victory against the barbarian giants known as the Warriors of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though many of these magical weapons were deployed, the war was clearly going badly for us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only two.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were only two Titans here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other two are not transformed into Titans, and the several attacks by Atmos warriors in the past, we should have always had the upper hand by deploying magical weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, there was one being who could turn the tables on us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A boy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A boy who looked about my age.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is surrounded by many spirits who instantly freeze the magical weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that's not all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just one swing of his sword on the frozen weapon burns it with such a hot flame that even I, who am far away from the weapon, am burned this time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is that the reason?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the female Titan attacked after the boy, the magical weapon was cracked wide open and shattered into pieces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if that was all, there might have been a way to cope with the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only three of them, including the other male Titan, were dealing with the magical weapon, while the rest of the attacking group was surrounded and attacked by the security forces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we can deal with the group, we can get the rest of the personnel to those three men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That was the way it was supposed to be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it didn't work out that way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is that a magical weapon that I have never seen before?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rock giants were created by the Brillia Mage Nation using spirit stones mined in the village of Atmos with their own technology.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the same way, the boy made the ice serpent appear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've never seen this technology before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had no idea that there were other beings who had developed magical weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The situation was clearly unfavorable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is probably due to the lack of information about the other side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Realizing the disadvantage, the commander of the guard decided to let me go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it were true, I should have fought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But even though I have a great deal of magical power, I myself have never wielded it on the battlefield like your father did.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can only manipulate magical weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the most important thing is that these magical weapons don't work against them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was disgusted by my own powerlessness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I was ordered by the commander-in-chief to retreat, led by the soldiers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　* * * *

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I ran right away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I kept my distance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hid so they wouldn't see me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was caught in the blink of an eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The men riding the white beast found me hiding in a building without hesitation and brought me back to the village of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What will happen to me now?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I shouldn't have fought with your father if this is what I had to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would rather leave home than marry someone older than my father who is so much older than me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what I really thought at the time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think it was wrong that I came here after your brother gave me the job.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I did not expect to be defeated and taken prisoner so easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The group that came to the village of Atmos, attacked us, and took me into their custody.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They said they came from beyond the mountain peak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is absolutely impossible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought so, but then I wondered about the equipment of the boy I was talking to, Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have seen that design somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was wondering where it was, and then I remembered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it is the work of a master craftsman, Grand, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword he is holding and the armor he is wearing have a faint shadow of Gran in them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The works of Grand, a master craftsman who once traveled to many countries and boasted of his high popularity, are still coveted by many.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His father must have been one of his favorite winemakers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But many years ago, Gran took a man with him to the west of the mountain and never returned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, all of Ars' equipment seems to be new and made of materials we have never seen before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Could it be that they are all made from materials of demons?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, no way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It can't be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Gran is dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He died in the mountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what if he went over the peak and got to the other side?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If so, and if the equipment he has is indeed by Gran, then Ars is right, they may have come from a country beyond the peak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The word caution was always in my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But at the same time, I thought this might be a great opportunity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The relationship with the country to the west of the mountain peak, with which no other country, not even the Brillia mage country, has a proper connection.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a great significance to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because they have the power to easily defeat the latest weapon of the Brillia Magic Kingdom, the magic weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that Ars has attacked this land, but he still wants to have a fighting force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then let me use my negotiating skills to get him to give me his terms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the meantime, accepting Ars's proposal is well worth considering.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they will take the warriors of Atmos to the west, that would be a great help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But we may be able to get a better deal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Father, please watch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Charlotte here, will do the job of a lifetime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And we can use it as a bargaining chip to get her to admit that the marriage proposal never happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I watched Ars' back as he left for the moment, I prepared for every eventuality with my hands clasped tightly together, determined to make the negotiations with him favorable.
