When Princess Caitlina Greccia awoke from her slumber, her heart sank.

Her last consciousness stayed at the moment when she broke Goth's shield and was blown away by Goth. In the end, she couldn't hit Goth, much to her frustration. She noticed herself in the bath, soaking in a diluted healing potion. Before her injuries were completely healed, Linna stood up from the pool.

She didn't know who the girl who called herself "Victoria" was sacred. In terms of strength, Victoria is slightly inferior to herself, and her combat experience is also very immature. However, she has a very accurate grasp of the battle situation, and her changes are decisive enough, I am afraid that she has already experienced a fierce battle of life and death before.

She should still have a lot of potential to tap......

Lin Na decided to tell her adoptive father and father about the reappearance of the "Bright World" as soon as possible. The "Bright World" has been missing for a long time, and its owner should be a member of the empire, so why should the French power go to the empire to compete for a genius secret warrior?

In the final stages of the battle, Goth appears to be attacked by some kind of spell. Was that some kind of magical item used by Victoria? I didn't realize when Victoria did it. A Mystic Warrior who can unleash magical items at the right time in battle is undoubtedly more powerful than one who can only fight head-on.

…… Victoria's talent for the path of the Mystic Warrior was on par with her own or her sister's, Lin Na thought to herself. In time, he will surely become an important figure in the empire.

"It will also keep her away from John." Linna muttered.

In Linna's opinion (mainly her intuition during the battle), there must be some kind of tacit understanding between Goth and the girl, but it is like using each other, and there is no element of love between men and women. But in any case, after a long time, no one can guarantee that these two people will not have other "reactions".

Many people may not know it, but Linna knows that Goth has almost one hundred percent imperial blood. He was born in the empire and moved to the French state of Elrios with his parents at the age of six. He studied in the black floating city of Palamedes, but he did not have much sense of belonging to the French power itself.

Why didn't Goths agree to join the Empire? For the Empire, a genius of spell-casting like John Gothic is unlikely to be a rare talent.

"Hah...... I'm still not good at thinking about such complex issues. Lin Na smiled bitterly.

Their own clothes had already become tattered during the battle. However, someone put a few sets of clothes on the edge of the pool. Lin Na didn't even look at the robe, but chose a combination of a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and mid-rise boots. The plain reddish-brown garment, which Lin Na guessed, was a bit shabby, but Her Highness didn't care.

Pin the "Sword of Dawn" lying quietly on the ground to her waist again, and Lin Na quietly left the basement of the Mage Tower.

……

It was already early the next morning. When Linna arrived at the dining room and saw a full breakfast on the table, and Franbel Matthias sat at the table with a relaxed face, she was amazed.

"Are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" The young mage said, putting a blueberry in her mouth. In front of Goth, Franbel Matthias seemed very gentle, but once he left Goth's presence, his temperament was like a different person.

Linna glanced at her impatiently. Fran did not wear a mage robe, but was dressed in a long skirt as black as ink, with long soft black hair draped over her shoulders, and a bunch of black eyes indifferently stared directly at the female swordsman not far away.

"I don't think you should be here." Lin Na snorted, but sat down with a big grin and began to enjoy breakfast.

"If I wasn't here, who transported you to the basement last night?" Fran's tone seemed to be discussing an injured kitten.

Linna was spreading red cherry jam on the bread when she shuddered at Fran's words.

"If Goth had done it," said the swordswoman viciously, "I would have killed him." "She knew that when she was in the pool for treatment, she had nothing on her body......

"He could," Fran said pityingly, "but he didn't." He told me to put you in the basement for treatment, and stay outside to clean up the mess after your commotion. Seriously, you're going a little too far. ”

Lin Na was silent.

"But you're doing a good job," said Fran, not favoring his sweetheart, "John is really being pushed by you." I've never seen John wounded in battle. ”

"Is he hurt? That's great news! Linna said, taking a big bite of the bread in her hand. Looks like Victoria is doing a good job!

"It's because he feels the danger that John takes this fight seriously," Fran said calmly, "and he told me before he left that he would not let you out of the healing pool until your injuries had healed. Are your wounds healed? ”

"I couldn't have gotten better." Lin Na said strongly.

Fran sighed. She leaned over and reached out and pinched Linna's left hand hard.

"Pain, pain, pain, ......"

Admiring Linna's grinning appearance in pain, a smile appeared on the corner of Fran's mouth.

"I must express my admiration for your willpower," she said, "but I advise Her Highness not to be overly forceful." ”

"Damn......" Lin Na muttered.

Speaking of which, Fran has such a strong hand - he has caught up with a lot of highly trained fighters! Is the "Apostle" mage organization really okay......

"How's Victoria?" Lin Na changed the subject.

"You said that little girl...... "Fran mused, "I guess she's still in the basement, and yours next door is being treated." She's not as impulsive as you are, and as soon as she regains her mobility, she immediately — "

"But I'm sorry to disappoint you."

The girl's voice suddenly rang out.

Dressed in a light gray robe, the girl stood at the door of the restaurant with her parasol "Bright World" in her hand.

……

[Sure enough, Lin Na's guy was wearing civilian clothes,] The girl complained to Xiaowei in her inner world, [Obviously the same is prepared for us - why do you insist on wearing a robe?] 】

[It's etiquette. Xiaowei insisted, [And I think it's very tasteless to wear the same thing as others. 】

[You came up with this latter reason on the spot, right?] 】

【……】

Leaving Xiaowei aside, the girl walked straight to the table and sat down.

"Don't mind, two." She said, stuffing two pieces of beef jerky into her mouth.

"Of course not," said Fran, "this breakfast is for you both." ”

"Goth did it?" Linna's mouth was full of mashed potatoes.

"Of course," replied Fran, "he insisted that he do it all by himself." ”

[However, I see, this meal is enough for six or seven people, and there is still left.] Xiaowei seized the opportunity to complain, but unfortunately Linna and Fran couldn't hear her.

"You're very energetic......," Lin Na said happily, and the girl's eating appearance was almost the same as herself, "I'm relieved." ”

"Of course you'll be hungry after 'intense exercise,'" the girl rolled her eyes, "and it's not thanks to you. ”

"Ah, I forgot to apologize......"

"Excuse me. Actually, I had a lot of fun......"

Let's talk about it.

"But Goth is not here now......" the girl suddenly had a strange premonition, "where has he gone?" ”

"He's with the teacher," Fran didn't mean to hide his whereabouts for Goth, "and the teacher summoned him urgently as soon as he returned. I guess...... You're going to be the one you're talking about. ”

"That's ......," the girl fell into deep thought.

"If they invite you to serve the French state of Errios," Linna swallowed the rest of the food in her mouth, "how are you going to answer?" The mages of Elrios are famous, but they are not good at training warriors. You know. ”

The girl glanced at Lin Na in surprise. Fran, on the other hand, cast a disgruntled glance at Linna.

Her Royal Highness seems to be starting to treat you as a friend. Xiaowei said.

[It's a tradition among warriors to become friends when you fight, right? I don't think that's a rational approach. 】

[I agree.] But don't you do it yourself? 】

"I owe them...... I owe it to the Erios," the girl carefully considered her words, lest she would upset either Lina or Fran, "but I ......"

"Let's think about it on the road." Fran said suddenly.

"What?"

"I've received a spell summons...... The teacher is ready to meet you. Now follow me to the Deep Dark Dome. ”

[The Great Lord of the Black? Right now? Xiaowei exclaimed.

"Can't you just let me finish my breakfast?" The girl said "helplessly".
