On the ceiling of the lavish carriage, a chandelier with a soft glow swayed slightly.

A hundred kilometres from central London, horse-drawn carriages are speeding down the dimly lit old streets. There is not just one carriage, but a convoy of more than ten or so in front and behind, centered on a huge carriage. In addition to the carriages, there was also a cavalry horse corps wearing ceremonial armor.

It's like something out of a picture book or fairy tale, but in contrast to this classical scenario, the convoy traveled at more than 500 kilometers per hour. This is not the performance of each carriage, but the magical effect created by the magic circles set up at regular intervals on both sides of the ancient streets. From a distance, the convoy looks like a maglev train with lights on.

The convoy decorated with gold leaf and precious metals emits a light that is detached from reality. However, the most striking thing is the huge carriage in the middle, which is guarded by a large number of people.

Commonly known as "moving iron wall"

A long-distance escort carriage for the British royal family.

License plates were installed for road driving, and the wheels, wood, and strength were adjusted, and the carriage was thoroughly protected by more than 700 spiritual costumes and magic arrays.

In a carriage decorated like a fairy tale, three women are ridden.

The second princess, Chia Lisa, and the third princess, Vilian and Intix.

“…… As a result, Sister Wang hasn't come yet. ”

Kialisa looked out the window and whispered.

The skirt of her gown was stretched out and occupied almost three seats, while Vilian gathered up her clothes and shrunk up to take up only half of the seat, she said cautiously.

"Sister, some can't trust others."

"It's stubborn. I've prepared a carriage that can support the sun for three days, but I still can't let go of the sense of crisis of being attacked. ”

"That's not the case. My sister never believes in the security measures constructed by others. Because everything is ready from one to ten, there is no room for me to interfere. If you don't confirm it yourself, you can't believe it. …… You also know that she has transformed her own rooms in the villa in Windsor. ”

"Hmph, I also got a pet for 'poison testing'...... On the contrary, Sister Wang often leaves the castle and goes to the city. ”

"Because there is no malice in the words of people who don't know their identity."

Kialisa snorted.

"Compared with Sister Wang, the European Tunnel is more important."

She said as she looked at Intix, who was boredoming her feet tossing around.

"Even if our country is under the guardianship of Kartina II, it may not be able to prosper forever. In a place where the king is regarded as an "archangel" and the knights are regarded as an "angel army", if the majority of the people go violent, the state will also lose its function...... You can't sweep them away with a great flood, as the myth does. ”

“……”

In order to prevent this crisis, there are "knights" on the surface, and "puritans" on the covert to catch fish that have slipped through the net, and each of them is trying to maintain law and order...... The explosion of the Continental Tunnel and the terrorist attempt of the passenger plane...... This constant occurrence has shaken the people of our country greatly. ”

"But ......"

Verian carefully chose her words.

"If this chain of events is related to France, there should also be Roman Orthodox influence behind it. Blaming France alone will not solve the problem. ”

"Maybe, but no matter who is shady, France must be subdued first."

Kialisa clasped her hands.

"The Vatican is too strong. It can't be captured overnight. Then it is necessary to prepare for a long-term war, and it is necessary to build a supply base on the front line. In this way, there is a geographical problem. In any case, it is necessary to get the 'assistance' of the French side to build a base under the nose of the Vatican. “

"So what, not in France, but in the Mediterranean, to build a large-scale sea supply base."

"Hmph, then France will not be silent in order to protect the Mediterranean...... In addition, it is not a realistic option for a sea fortress to protect against attacks from both the air and the sea, and there is also the question of strength. ”

If the fortress on land is opened, it can be blocked, but if a hole is opened in the sea, it will only sink.

Kia Lisa added.

“…… Request for assistance from France. Is it really only military action. ”

"If you really think about it, come up with a specific way."

Kialisa's words made Virien look up.

"Sister Wang is a brain, I am a military, and you are benevolent, this has been solidified. I naturally thought of this, and you might be able to figure out a more efficient way to do it...... Not only for France, but also for the Roman Orthodox Church. ”

"Sister......

"Gather the material of judgment, now! In it is necessary to investigate the causes of the explosion in the Continental Tunnel. If you want to find the best answer, cheer up. It's almost time to reach Fox East. ”

-----------------

On the other side, Aikawa meets an unexpected person.

"Long time no see."

The opening sentence is this, and the princess of the monocle shows a smile.

"I still remember, Jun Aikawa, the strongest contractor in the human race. The red sanctions that swept across the UK a year ago. Compared to that time, more famous - no, it should be said that your strength, the feeling of finally catching up with your fame. ”

“…… Who is it? ”

Jun Aikawa, with a sarcastic smile, pointed at Limel.

"Damn, I can't remember anything but my friends. Have we seen this before? ”

"Well, yes, I haven't seen it at all. I'm sorry - that's right, I'm just a little girl who has heard your rumors and happens to talk to you in fancy clothes, little girl. ”

"Are you sure it's not an aunt? Thirty years old? ”

Limel lightly ignored the sensitive word of being a woman.

"What's in that box?"

So to say it as a diversion topic.

Aikawa was not interested in pursuing it further, shrugged his shoulders, and shook the box in his hand in front of the princess.

"A piece of that can split me in half with a single blow."

"Catina I...... What do you want to do with it? ”

"Anyway, send this to the old man as entrusted."

"Old man?"

"Yes."

Limel didn't follow up—her instinct told her that if she continued to ask—she would die.

“…… So, where are you going next? The previous words are the center of London that has been completely locked down by the "knights". Ah, of course, this is not a reminder to you, for the sake of the safety of the knights, I want you to be as merciful as possible. ”

"Don't worry, I've always been releasing water to them...... Okay, let's not talk about that, I'm going to go to Shangjo. After all, there are commissions that will be destroyed if there is an emergency, and it would be better to find help with this kind of thing. ”

After laughing happily, Aikawa turned around and left with the ancient box—

"Wait."

"Huh?"

Turning around, the princess smiled.

"I'll go too."

"Huh? Yes...... Okay, too. But don't hold back, I don't want to end up with a thirty-year-old aunt on my back...... What kind of expression do you have, looking for a fight!? ”

Seeing this rare age-appropriate expression, the princess smiled.

That's right, from the moment she knew that this man had single-handedly broken into Buckingham Palace and destroyed everything, but no one had died, the first princess of England was convinced.

This person is not dangerous at all.

It should be said that the exact opposite is true. This person is very safe.

(He's the safest in the world.) ）

While thinking so, the princess also said this in her heart.

- It is not possible not to call him the safest.

“…… It's a little weird, though. ”

Aikawa muttered.

"Strange?"

"There is no 'weight.'"

Shaking the box dissatisfied, ignoring the mournful sound of the box, Aikawa said flatly.

"It's not the kind of thing that says, but it's light so you can't feel it—it's completely empty. Is it the original effect of this thing, or does it need to be opened to take it out? ”

"Isn't it possible to be a decoy?"

"I've never seen a decoy that is still holding on to it after losing consciousness."

With that, Aikawa unlocked the lock on the box.

"Hey."

"I know, but isn't life all about thrills? And if I'm not mistaken, it's interesting to open this up. ”

With that, Aikawa slammed open the box.

Immediately, a blue laser-like light swept through the wall and into the chest, where the light bounced off and changed direction and flew in other directions.

-----------------

Fox East.

It is a port city located a hundred kilometers from London. This is the terminus of the Continental Tunnel, the undersea railway tunnel across the Dover Channel, in the direction of the United Kingdom.

Near the end of the road, surrounded by night, countless carriages are parked. Carriages for the exclusive use of the royal family and for the guards. Many military horses were resting, surrounded by dozens of knights in silver armor on standby.

There are no lights at the entrances and exits.

Because the undersea railway was blasted halfway, the entrance was not used. Intix is heading there. A little farther away stood the third princess, Vilian, who was taking the magic bottle of black tea from the young maid.

At this time, the head of the knight frowned. He cast his gaze on the box in his hand.

After determining the "weight" of the box, the head of the knight walked up to the second princess, and he carried the box to the princess's ear.

"—delivered."

"Got it."

The second princess smiled softly.

The Captain of the Knight continued in a voice that only she could hear,

"Through eavesdropping on electronic and magical communications...... it seems that the Puritans made the 'Light of Rebirth' with the aim of assassinating the princess and allowing the massive attacks on Europe set across the British soil to be launched automatically...... Such a misunderstanding. ”

"Hmph, such a ridiculous rumor."

"If you can prepare such powerful magic, it will be much easier to negotiate. I just don't want to let the people die easily, so I have this plan. ”

Listening to the man who was her right and left hand, her smile deepened.

"Inform the 'Knights' lurking throughout the UK."

Here's the signal.

An order to make the country burn from within.

"Start attacking. Choose the sword of the king, and the Katina I is now in my hands. From now on, the head of state of the United Kingdom is I, Chia Lisa. The pacifist "former Queen" and the citizens who do not want Britain to rot should stand up of their own volition. For the sake of the new Britain to start the necessary cornerstones, carry out the necessary destruction. ”
