Elastin..

She was the most trustworthy person to Katlena in her previous life, the one who had always been by her side.

He was the first to approach her and become her friend when she had no friends, and he was the one who supported and relied on her anytime, anywhere.

But… this moment.

Katlena came to realize that all the friendship she had shown herself was a lie.

Now that I think about it, Elastine had always been encouraging her to be hostile towards Elios, and had also been secretly saying bad things about her mother.

About that, Katlena thought she was simply agreeing with her thoughts, but the reality was completely different.

Elastine From the beginning, she had been moving thoroughly according to plan, following the orders of her grandfather, Saladin.

To prevent herself from realizing the truth and returning to her mother and sisters.

To fan her hatred to the fullest, and make her confront her sisters at all costs.

And through this… to suppress the power of the Dragona Principality, and in the meantime, to buy time for the Empire, which was in chaos due to the death of the Padishah, to recover from the damage…

At this moment, about Elastine, who deceived my friendship and took advantage of me,

Katlena began to feel an unbearable burning anger.

At the same time, in my previous life, and in this life…

Once again, Katlena decided to completely abandon her maternal grandfather’s cold-blooded actions, regarding him as nothing more than a pawn who could be sacrificed for the empire.

‘Yes.. Anyway, from the beginning, I only had my mother and sisters.. Especially, my mother Rosetta more than anyone else. Among the people related to my mother’s side, there was not a single person who truly loved me. To me, my true family is my mother, sisters, and Zeros. ”

With her mind firmly made up, Katlena returned to the dormitory and quickly began making decisions and taking action on what to do next.

Once you’ve made up your mind, there’s nothing more to worry about.

Moreover, given the time given to the plan in question, there was a need for some degree of urgency.

Considering the strength of the enemies that had entered here, it was a situation where they could have suffered a great blow if they did not respond as quickly and accurately as possible.

‘This time, I will absolutely not make the same mistake. I will definitely… definitely protect my mother with my own hands!’

“Ugh..”

Duchess Rosetta leisurely wanders around the academy dressed as a plague doctor.

Accompanying her was Serif, who was also wearing a mask to hide his identity.

“I’ve felt this every time I’ve been here, but the Grand Prix seems to contain a joy that I can’t usually feel.”

“Right? I thought so too. Besides, I was the one who gave them the idea, but I really didn’t know they would create such a big event. I guess the talents students have are more amazing than we think.”

The splendid decorations that light up every corner of the Academy, and the various performances that attract people’s attention.

Among them, there were plays that were of fairly high quality for something prepared by students, as well as small stunts and acrobatics that provided a little fun.

Of course, it was possible because many of the students here were witches or sorcerers who could use magic.

Anyway, looking back at the Academy that has become such an exciting place for accumulation, Rosetta is enjoying this moment faithfully in her own way.

at that time..

“Huh?”

The next moment, someone hugs her from behind, literally with a bang!

But at that moment, through this familiar sensation that she felt, Rosebetta was able to immediately recognize who that person was.

“Katlena?”

“Gasp…gasp…I finally found it…Mom.”

Katlena speaks to her, panting and looking exhausted.

This allowed Rosetta to realize that she had been searching the Academy like crazy in search of herself.

“Oh my.. Our baby, did you miss your mom so much? You didn’t have to search so hard, I was planning on going to see you soon..”

With that thought in mind, Rosebetta slightly bent down and faced Katlena.

But at that moment.

Suddenly, Rosebetta began to show slight embarrassment as she looked at the face of her youngest daughter before her eyes.

“..Kattle..Lena?”

“Mom, can you excuse me for a moment? I have something important to tell you right now.”

“Important story.. What the heck..”

Rosebetta, feeling doubtful about her daughter’s words, follows her, holding onto her hand for the time being.

Then Serif also started moving behind her.

The office of the president of the Academy Adelan.

This place, which is more magically spell-protected than any other place, is right now.

There were a total of ten people gathered.

First of all, it was Katlena who made this place available, and Zeros who called the people according to her instructions.

And as a result, the first to gather here were Elios, Arachne, and Senel.

Next, Katlena searched the academy with great difficulty and brought back Rosebetta and Serif.

In addition, Freya and Frigg were summoned here by Elios in an urgent manner.

Here, where the Academy’s strongest force was practically gathered, Zeros spoke again in a clear voice.

“You must have heard the announcement before you came. And since everyone is here, I will make it clear once again.”

After looking around the faces of those standing in the room with those words, Zeros spoke to them with seriousness and gravity.

“Right now, within the Academy Adalen, a plan to assassinate Duchess Mina Rosebetta Dragona, led by Chancellor Saladin, is underway.”

“..ugh… ”

“… .”

“That bastard… no matter what…”

At Zeros’ words, they each begin to express their most suppressed anger in their own way.

Of course, even though it was a story about the princess Katlena and her closest aide Zeros, it was still a story of such great proportions that it was hard not to feel a bit skeptical about it.

However, this atmosphere was completely erased by the story of Katlena that followed.

“Let me say this again, this is absolutely not my delusion or illusion. In order to proceed with this, Saladin asked for my cooperation by revealing the secret of my birth that everyone had been keeping quiet about… the fact that I am not Lady Rosebeta’s biological daughter.”

“!”

“Ah… ”

A secret that Katlena has kept ever since she was born.

People were shocked by Katlena’s actions in mentioning it with her own mouth, but at the same time, they could not help but have a heavy trust in her words.

Above all, in Elios’ case, he knew very well that Prime Minister Saladin was in a difficult psychological situation due to the incident involving the child named Melissa that had occurred in the system some time ago.

In this situation, she was able to have strong confidence in Katlena’s words, as she had thought that she could easily use extreme measures like this, even if it meant breaking the taboo and taking a risk.

“Then… what should we do from now on? If we find out that the enemy is plotting something, we should ask for a countermeasure. Do you have any good ideas?”

Arachne asks in a clear voice.

In response, Katlena told him about the detailed plans of the virtues she had heard of.

Through this, Roseveta and Elios began to consider an appropriate response.

Not only would this plan be foiled by using it against them, but it would also deal a fatal blow to Saladin, the vizier who had planned this.
