These guys who attacked with great vigour, but now they are trembling in fear beneath their own feet.

Katlena felt a bit of annoyance and a strange sense of pleasure at the same time as seeing those who had doubted her and tried to push her aside when she had just spoken now bowing their heads.

‘Indeed… Princess Maeb. When we’re enemies, there’s no one who’s as troublesome as she is, but when we’re allies, there’s no one who’s as reliable as she is.

Although it was regrettable that her authority as a princess was not well-received, this was an institution that was not even a Dragona Duchy, so it was inevitable.

In any case, in a situation where the opponent’s spirit was so broken, Katlena spoke to the princess in a calm voice, as if trying to persuade her.

“Your Highness, please calm down. Don’t you think these foolish and pitiful people just made a mistake? Although their crime deserves immediate execution, considering that they were on duty, wouldn’t it be better to forgive them once?”

At Katlena’s words, they still trembled and looked at me with a little hope.

Princess Maeb seemed to think for a moment, then looked at them with a look of anger on her face and said.

“..Tsk..I can’t help it. If you say so, Katlena, I will show mercy just this once.”

“Ah!”

“Thank you! Thank you, Princess!”

They bow their heads repeatedly to express their gratitude at the princess’s words.

At that moment, one of the group cautiously opened his mouth while looking at us.

“Ha.. Haon but Princess.. That.. That slave..”

“… What.”

The moment he brings that word out, he starts to feel the murderous intent from the person in front of him, making the hairs on the back of his neck curl.

At this, he could not open his mouth any longer as he felt for a split second as if his throat was being cut off.

“shi.. Excuse me, Your Highness!”

“Thank you for forgiving me! We… That’s it for us!”

And, those who rushed into the room while feeling the murderous intent right next to them were busy hurriedly getting out of there, practically lying on the floor.

Because I instinctively knew that if I spoke wrongly here, I would really lose my neck.

In that way… they came in, breaking down the door as if they were generals going on a campaign, and then crawled away in less than 10 minutes, reminiscent of defeated soldiers.

Looking at them like this…

The girl was trembling with fear until they came in.

Melissa began to look up at the princess, her eyes sparkling brightly, and she smiled kindly at him.

“It’s okay now. You won’t have to worry about this anymore.”

“Cool..”

“Huh?”

“Maevnim.. you’re cool… really.. really cool..”

Melissa speaks in a blank voice while looking at herself.

At this, Princess Maeb felt her face turn slightly red, and then she smiled with a hint of excitement and began to stroke the cute creature’s head pleasantly.

‘They’re cute… really cute… This is why kids are great.. To do something like that to such cute and lovable creatures… I’m definitely going to rip off their arms and legs one by one.’

Princess Maeb, who burns with both affection for Melissa and anger towards those people, dotes on the girl in front of her to her heart’s content.

Meanwhile, without paying much attention to those two people, Katlena began to seriously consider what would happen next.

‘Well then… even though it’s a little early, let’s hope that they do a good job?’

“Damn it… ”

“Ugh.”

Gamul and the others leave the inn, feeling both anger and fear.

For them, the experience of meeting the princess just now was no different from crossing the threshold to the other world.

Of course, the power that they possess,

A being that can wipe out all of them with just pure fighting power… a being that is literally a monster, so there is no shame in calling it that.

They couldn’t help but lament their misfortune, as their test subjects had fallen into the hands of such a person.

“How could things get so messed up like this? Why, of all people, did it have to be that princess over there..”

“That’s right.. What should I do now? No matter what, I can’t just give up on it like this, right? The successful work that I worked so hard to complete is like this..”

“Um..”

As the research leader said, it would be a shame to give up once the results are out.

But… no matter what, for them to appear before the princess without any defenses is literally no different from committing suicide.

None of them wanted to face the icy wrath of the princess again.

“..I can’t help it. Since it’s like this, I have no choice but to use that method even if it takes some time.”

“That..method..?”

Researchers question Gamul’s words.

Regarding this, Gamul started talking about a method he could use… Although the process was quite complicated, it could be said to be a proper method.

“Although the princess is involved in this incident… Strictly speaking, the ownership of that woman belongs to us. If we proceed with this by using the power of the state law, rather than stepping in, we will be able to retrieve the test subject.”

“Is it possible? No matter what, the opponent is the princess.”

“If we borrow the power of our master, it is quite possible. Since this is only a request for the return of legitimate private property, if we talk to the master… and even further to the Padishah, it will be resolved even if it takes some time.”

“Ah.. Okay. Please help me.”

Leaders and researchers who talk with such little expectation.

To them, Gamuel spoke in a cautious voice.

“Then, let’s proceed with this matter. You guys should go back to the lab. I’ll go straight to the master and proceed with this matter.”

“Yes, Gamuel.”

After deciding on a clear course of action, they each set off to where they needed to go.

At that moment…

There is a faint spread there

Without recognizing the existence of a 10km radius circle of magical power…

“I’m back.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Zeros. Did you get the job done?”

“Yes, of course. I gave her the permit in less than an hour after I handed her the document with the princess’s seal.”

Zeros then hands over a document to Princess Maeb.

It had the Padishah’s seal stamped on it, and a deep smile began to appear on the princess’s lips as she looked at it.

“As expected, Abamamasya. You never hesitate when it comes to my requests.”

Princess Maeb tells stories with joy.

Seeing her like this, Zeros honestly started to feel a little sorry for her about the current situation.

‘No matter what, Pidisha and I are father and daughter, and we are on good terms. What would be her reaction if she found out the truth about this?’

The ultimate goal of this incident, as far as Zeros knows.

Considering that, what was happening now could be seen as an act of self-destruction from Princess Maeb’s perspective.

There was no description of this in the original, but at this moment, looking at the Padishah’s permit and seeing her expressing joy and gratitude to her father, Zeros thought that she might regret this in the future.

At that time, Zeros was feeling a little sad inside about something he couldn’t talk about so openly.

Princess Maeb, who had no way of knowing about his circumstances, said with a happy expression while stroking Melissa’s head in her arms.

“Now it’s done.. No one can touch you now. From now on, you are.. mine forever, Melissa.”
