“Considering that a battle between sword god ranked warriors could last even for a week, we could assume that the Potterland king hasn’t heard the result of their assault. And when he heard the news, he’ll be in a great dilemma, but I believe that since the beginning, he had already known that war will be inevitable between the two kingdoms,” (Slime)

“Since he knew that the war will be inevitable, he must have already taken some measures in case if all of us survived, which must be the worst scenario on his part. This time, they must have done something inside the capital, since the queen’s influence is at her lowest right now. I bet they’re doing something as they’ve considered the most influential princess of the kingdom had been assassinated,” Slime’s words are grim but somehow he sounded like he’s mocking the plans of the Potterland kingdom. On the first hand, it’s heard like he’s mocking it, but when Sera stared at his eyes, the eyes that filled with anger changed how the words were heard inside Sera’s ears.

Whoosh!

Once again, a shadow appears from the dining room’s door and stopped beside Slime. The old man Kyron, Elena, and Sera had seen the wraith appeared once before, and they had already known that he’s Slime’s comrade.

“What is it?” Slime asked the shadow.

!!??

The shadow slowly transformed into a form of a human that wears a hooded black robe and a strange mask. The shadow kneels and started to report to Slime.

“The Potterland kingdom had infiltrated the Grandaria kingdom, my lord,”

!!!???

“They had spread a piece of rumor and managed to successfully grasp a political power to act freely inside the capital by the queen’s order, it could also be said that the queen had stepped down the throne while the prime minister will be taking her position,” The wraith continues his shocking report.

!!!???

“M-mother did what…?” Sera muttered in shock.

“I see… What kind of rumor did they spread?” Asked Slime calmly.

“They said that the winter princess had got killed by the Tarot’s ambassador and that the Tarot empire is just using the Grandaria kingdom. But since the princess hasn’t returned to the castle until now, people started to buy the rumor, and even the queen believed it,” (Wraith)

“I see, does the queen sent some scouts to search for the princess?” (Slime)

“They did, but all got massacred by a Potterland kingdom’s sword god ranked warrior,” Answered the wraith.

“Another sword god ranked warrior, huh… Just how many sword god-ranked warriors did they have in their ranks…? But it’s not unexpected since they must have been plotting this thing since a long time ago, it’ll be easier for you to dispose of those nobles that supported the Potterland kingdom silently,” (Slime)

“The queen must be drowning in sadness because of the news, and that reason solely had made her gave up what she had been trying to protect until now. It’s understandable, how laughable,” Slime snorted.

“Eh?” (Elena, Sera, and the old man Kyron)

“To be taking advantage of a mother’s love, as expected of the people who join hands with the demons, let’s show them the thing called the imperial wrath,” The raging fury inside Slime’s eyes are getting bigger and bigger.

(Hmph! You kind-hearted brat!) (The old man Kyron)

“So the prime minister is the preparator that had been playing behind the scenes, huh… Interesting… Now let’s play this beautifully, shall we?” Said Slime confidently.

(I wonder how Alfred, Sen, Peter, Albus, and Edreale are doing right now… They must be having a headache because of this. I could really imagine how Albus is running towards the trio of half-elves siblings with tears in his eyes…) (Slime)

They continued to discuss their plan on facing the current problem that the Grandaria kingdom is facing. After agreeing, the princess continued the plan and headed back towards the capital in silence while secretly guarded by the ‘Jack of All Trades’ secret order.

While in the other hand…

**********************************

“This is not good. There is still no news from Sera, do they really got her?” (Sen)

“I couldn’t believe that she got defeated by those Potterlands bastards, but the queen had forbidden us from crossing the Grandarian moon lake to check on her. We can’t defy her orders,” Albus clenched his fist in frustration.

“Calm down, Albus. She had the ‘Endless Cold’ with her. She won’t lose,” Peter calmed Albus down.

“I’m worried. What if we check on her secretly without the queen noticing?” Edreale voiced her concern for Sera.

“…..Maybe-” Before Peter could respond towards Edreale’s suggestion, the door of the ‘Red Fall’ mercenary guild’s guildmaster’s room suddenly got opened.

*Sound of a door opened*

“Phew! Those Potterands had sent even more soldiers towards the capital, it looks like they’re very certain with their win since the prime minister is holding the authority of the kingdom right now. To think that the prime minister will betray us this far, you really can’t judge a person from his looks, huh? Even though he had been absent for a long time because of a sickness… Turns out he’s not different with minister Warren, huh,” Alfred indifferently shrugged while there is nothing changed from his attitude.

“How could you be so calm, Alfred? Are you not worried about Sera?” Peter commented as he found Alfred’s calmness is kind of annoying as he is currently worried about his sister’s well-being.

“Well, of course, I’ll be worried if she’s in danger, but it’s only ‘If\'” Alfred said with another shrug.

“What do you mean!?” Peter lost his cool as he slammed the desk in front of him. It’s quite a rare sight to see the calm and collected Peter lose his cool like that. But Peter’s rage didn’t startle anyone inside the room.

“Calm down, Peter. Big bro, from your words, does it mean that you know something about Sera’s current state?” The calm Sen calmly analyzed Alfred’s words and asked.

“As expected of my little brother, yup, that’s right!” Answered Alfred cheerfully.

“What! Did you sneak into the old guardian’s place?” (Peter)

“Nope, it’s just, when I’m looking for intel about the current state of the kingdom. A shadow suddenly appeared beside me, you know?” (Alfred)

“A shadow? You’re attacked?” (Peter)

“Nope. He told me a piece of information about the princess, and the plan that the princess and the ambassador of the Tarot empire had made,” (Alfred)

“The princess and the ambassador of the Tarot empire? Does it mean that the shadow that informed you about the information is under the ambassador’s command?” (Albus)

“Yup, exactly. Now gather closer, the plan will be started in the next morning, our role will be important in this, especially yours, Peter,” Alfred strikes a meaningful gaze towards Peter.

“Eh? Me?” (Alfred)

*******************************

The night passed, and the morning sun greeted the world as it shone brightly. The Potterland kingdom had called more soldiers into their legation inside the capital, and the prime minister of the Grandaria kingdom accepted it willingly.

The queen that thought she had just lost her precious and beloved daughter had fallen to despair and locked herself in her room. The only last hope she had is for her son to someday take over the throne from the Potterland kingdom’s hands, and brought prosperity towards the kingdom.

But yet, a surprising chatter broke inside the castle. 

“That, isn’t that the princess?”

“Yes! That cold aura she’s emitting is something that other people won’t be able to imitate!” 

“Don’t you see that the princess’s personal maid, Mary ran towards her majesty in tears? She’s the only one aside from her majesty that will definitely won’t mistake the princess for someone else, you know?”

“Yeah, of course, I know that!”

The chatters broke into the queen’s room, and she opened her eyes widely in shock.

“Sera… Is alive…?” Muttered the queen.

Sera calmly entered the castle as Mary cried because of joy beside her. But just as everyone is celebrating, a group of royal knights under the prime minister’s command surrounds her.

All of them are sword saint ranked warriors and archmage ranked magicians. With their swords and staffs ready, they blocked the princess’s way.

“What does the meaning of this, prime minister Egan?” Sera calmly asked the prime minister that stands beside the ambassador of the Potterland kingdom.

“You’ve died princess. And we’ve confirmed it. Did you have any proof that you’re the princess of Grandaria, Seraphim Grandaria?” The old prime minister asked with a kind tone that filled with malice.

“I do have,” Sera said confidently.

“Hm? Then show-,” (The prime minister)

“I’m her proof!” Slime’s voice sounded inside the castle together with an earthquake.

The royal guards surrounding Sera got thrown towards the prime minister’s direction, leaving Sera alone standing.

Step! Step! Step!

The footsteps of the two hundred knights of the great Tarot empire that had sworn to protect the Grandaria kingdom’s peace entered the castle and took a defensive stance in front of the princess.

“Impossible!! He should have been dead!!” The Potterland kingdom’s ambassador shouted in panic as he pointed his index finger at Slime.

“As we’ve promised. We will help the Grandaria kingdom achieve its prosperity and peace. And I’ll add one more thing, we will consider anyone who dares to harm the winter princess of the Grandaria kingdom and the king of the Grandaria kingdom as our foe. No matter which kingdom it is,” With a strong statement, Slime officially announced that the Tarot empire is siding with the winter princess and the Grandaria kingdom.

Sending the rulers that aimed to conquer the once known as the greatest kingdom of the Ablux continent shivers.

“The king…?”
