Once known as the City of Shining Light, the beautiful aesthetic of the Canal Kingdoms capital Elarc had lost its color due to the long-lasting civil war.
Standing on the highest floor of Fibris Castle in the middle of that city, in the altar room even higher than the throne room, was the Third Princess Celis.
Dressed in robes that covered her eyes, her appearance brought to mind a priestess rather than a mber of royalty.
As she was offering a prayer towards the altar, Celis turned around after sensing a presence behind her.
The blonde hair that could be seen from the space in between her robes swayed as her golden eyes gazed at that presence.
So its you, Reina I was wondering who it was.
Fufu, you must be joking. You must have already noticed .
Not at all. Theres a limit to my intuition. Surely youve realized that already?
The person nad Reina silently smiled as her wavy hair flowed.
While she didnt say anything, it could be assud that she was confirming Celis suspicion.
So what are you doing in a place like this?
Celis made a wry smile in response to those words.
The only thing to do at an altar was to pray, and considering that Reina had already seen that Celis was praying, it made the question seem all the more an-spirited.
I was offering my prayers. Praying that this war would soon co to an end
Ending the war would be quite simple. All you have to do is run into the enemy lines on your own. Im sure your sister would take no ti in coming to take your head.
Thats
As Celis got caught up in her words, Reina shrugged her shoulders.
You have taken to the sword because you know that is not the right option, yes? That is exactly why I am lending you my strength for now. Please do not forget that.
I know.
It was not as if Reina had faithfully pledged her loyalty to Celis. Reina was helping her out out of nothing but pure whim.
But thanks to that Reina, Celis has been able to fight back against her sisters forces.
The legendary Maid Knight that would not back down even against an entire nations army, Reina.
Her ability was not far off from the rumors.
So, what are you doing here? Its not as if praying is going to make the God of Light send down a sword from the sky or sothing.
Yes, I know that. But it helps calm down.
For those who see the Third Princess Celis as their leader, just knowing that the rightful heir to the throne was where she belonged was enough to make them feel safe. At the very least, it has a positive effect on the troops morale.
I know that, but
Seeing Celis stumbling for words, Reina sighed.
You certainly were born with a troubleso power. What are you feeling this ti?
In response to Reina, Celis began speaking with a hesitant, but clear voice.
A strong sense of peace of mind, but at the sa ti unease. Its like Im close to solving sothing, but at the sa ti sothing terrible is going to happen
Upon rembering that sensation, Celis body trembled.
Reina moved her eyes from Celis to the altar of the God of Light behind her.
It was an altar that revered the God of Light Raidolg, but as long as Raidolg wasnt there, thered be no way for any communication to take place.
But regardless, Celis had no choice but to pray.
Knowing that what she felt would only make others think shes gone crazy, Celis had to keep it to herself.
Peace of mind That must be the letter you sent to your acquaintance in St. Altlis Kingdom. As for the unease, there are nurous things I could imagine it might be.
