Formerly, The Fallen Daughter of the Duke

"What does that mean"

(... is that what you came for)

Vik never anticipated King Noston's reaction that he would not accept marriage. Small countries like the Noston Nation change their national and international force maps dramatically just because there is one person in the royal family who is highly capable. But Vik should have been convinced that the proud king would not let go of the original stone once he found no value.

But if Charlotte's working a small job in the back, it's not the story.

"Your Lady Claire is a pride of honor for our country's prestigious Martino family. You can't give it away so easily."

"Claire, what didn't you like when you suddenly left?

King Noston and Benjamin say it orally.

From the eyes of Veek staring at the two, contempt is felt, and the colour of friendship has completely disappeared. It doesn't fit in circles as it is, so enlightened Claire decided to be ready.

"... His Majesty the King, Lord Martino. Long time no see."

"Claire, won't you call me your father"

Ignoring Benjamin's words, Claire turns to the king. I've known kings since I was a little girl, but this is the first time I've been born to give an opinion. Claire is aware of the ladylike as she excites herself.

"Your Majesty. There are many magicians in the Paft Country who are better than the Noston Country. The size of the army is also more than dozens of times different digits. What good would it do to keep me only in this country? Besides, even I conveniently can't use the power of the Spirit to suit the situation. I was wondering if it was more important to build friendship between the two countries."

"Oh, that's..."

Conveniently unable to use the power of the Spirit means that he is unwilling to move for the country of Noston, which has banished himself in the dark. Realizing what it meant, the king and Benjamin suddenly became quiet.

(Miss Charlotte is interfering with me, but it doesn't seem to be that powerful)

Vik is relieved to see King Noston react.

"What? Why? You promised me earlier. Your sister and I said you'd replace my fiancée. Hey, Dad!

Behind the two, Charlotte is barking with impunity.

"Charlotte, I can't do this anymore. Give it up."

"No! I want that cool prince!!

"... overlapping, sorry"

When Asberto tried to apologize again, it happened.

The usual adorability is lost and intense light emanates from Charlotte with an evil face.

(... this is white magic)

Claire intuitively thought so. At the same time, I recall my conversation with Lewis in the city of Aeas.

"When we arrive at the royal palace, we have to lift the protection of Vik"

(... now the protection to Veek...!

It was almost simultaneous with Claire looking back and Lewis saying something.

After the entire venue of the night club shined white for a moment like daylight, all its light was absorbed by Lewis.

Lui, who absorbed the light, dragged one leg and his breath fell constantly.

"... Lui!!

Claire and Doni rushed over to Lewis at the same time, and Keith instantly stepped out in front of Veek and set up his sword.

"May I explain what that means now? King Noston."

Veek's gaze overlooking King Noston is sharp and gives him a sense of horror. The voice contained no more anger emotions.

"What... now. I can't believe you deactivated my magic."

Charlotte is out of breath and stunned.

"Guards, capture the man."

Understanding the situation, King Noston, with his blue-faced face, gives instructions with a trembling voice.

"Hey, what do you mean? Why me! Father! Get off me!!

Charlotte was held by a guard and left.

"Lui......"

Claire grips Lewis' hand hard, held by Donnie. I'm losing my mind and I'm not responding. Her face was bright white and her blood was drawn.

"He's probably out of magic and overdraining. The prognosis will be momentarily worse unless the high Virgin of the Pfeite Country, where Lewis was born, is treated as quickly as possible"

Donnie, sweating on her forehead, says in a stuffed feather.

"I'll be home in a minute. Get ready, Keith."

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

Keith jumped out of the nightclub venue before he could get back to him.

But I couldn't realistically say I'd be home any time soon. It takes two and a half days to get to the paft country, even if you keep flying horses without rest. From Donnie's impatience, Claire also found out that that was a hopeless number.

"... Vik, if you have anything written on Keith, leave it with His Highness Asberto as soon as possible"

"What do you mean?"

"My lord Asberto, we will go first, but may I entrust you with the rest of Keith and his squire? As a friend, take responsibility and never leave."

"Also, of course. But what..."

Asberto answered with barometric pressure to Claire's overly strong obsession and words.

"Lewis doesn't have time for this. Use metastatic magic until the Royal Palace of the Paft Country."

"At this distance?!? There's no door. No matter how much Claire, I can't do that."

"Four of us can go critical without losing our magic."

Before I finish, Claire begins to fill the surface of her body with magic.

"A little, but I'll help you too."

Donnie puts her hand on Claire's shoulder. The magic that poured in also had Donnie's emotions on it, and Claire ate her teeth off.

(... of the royal palace, to the point where the high Virgin is)

"Spirit, carry this body in exchange for my magic"

Quinn......

"Is this reality..."

Asbelt relieves herself and kneels.

The moment Claire spoke, the four of them disappeared without a trace from the nightclub venue.

―――――

Three days later.

Claire was visiting among the high priests, in the church of the royal palace.

"Hello, Master Claire"

"Hello, High Virgin. How's Lewis?

"I'm still asleep. I don't think I'll wake up for a while because I think I've done quite a bit of impossibility.... but it's a miracle you're back alive."

Claire smiled weakly to express her gratitude, then leaned down.

Shortly after returning with metastatic magic from the Noston Nation, Lewis was able to receive the treatment of the High Virgin. But so far, I'm in an unexpected state.

Apparently, the magic Lewis used was not a reflection of the attack, but of the nature of letting himself aggregate and deactivate it. Lewis would have bounced Charlotte's magic back, but then the damage would be done. I guess Lewis thought about the relationship between the two countries in that moment and chose to sacrifice himself. Thinking of it, Claire seemed to have a torn chest.

(Lui......)

Claire knelt beside Lewis' sleeping table and wrapped her hands in both hands as she slept.

And I remember what I told Vik earlier in the office.

"It appears that a king who saw Claire's transfer magic in front of him demanded that Claire's figure be handed over as a condition for the return of the Keiths and the others to the Pfeetland. Apparently, His Highness Asberto, who opposed it, is moving a private knighthood and covering a line to the fort of Fratern. I know you'll make it home safely... but it's my downfall. Relations between the two countries have become tough. In addition, rumors of a coup against the King are circulating in the Noston Nation"

"Lewis is safe, but if he recovers safely, the sequelae will remain. I guess that doesn't mean it's the way it's always been. Originally, Lewis' father opposed Lewis, a woman, taking up the post of Kingsguard Knight.... may be leaving the royal palace"

(I loved it... the landscape in this country is gonna break)

(I wish I could go back before happiness breaks)

One conversation flashed back into Claire's brain when tears seemed nil.

"That? Minami, you haven't played yet? Asbert-like route data '

"You don't feel like playing somehow, do you?"

……

Claire remembered.

That this was the world of games.

"Play save data and you can go back before you're 15......?

Claire's first trip to that world was the night she was pursued by the Royal College of Aristocrats. Probably caused by being out of the game scenario, the second time after being baptized and losing his mind on Lindell Island, the third time was the time to purify a magic tornado and use enormous amounts of magic.

(i.e.)

"If you run out of magic and blackout, you'll most likely go to Minami's room."

―――――

That night. Claire invited Veek and Doni to her room for a tea party.

Even when it comes to tea parties, drinks are wine and alcoholic beverages with high degrees. Snacks were prepared with Veek's favorite cheddar cheese sandwiches and Doni's favorite nuts.

"The Tea Party in Noston State, it was terrible that Vik got angry. I don't want to be with you anymore."

"Me too, I don't like that tea party anymore"

"I would have liked to see Vik and your father together."

The three of them laughed, as they were forced to forget that Keith and Lewis were not here. Talk about the fun trip, about the Royal School, about Doni's recommended Bal, about Keith having a scary sister...... After a lot of fun, the meeting was held in about 2 hours.

Claire says as she drops off Veek and Donnie as they head back to her room.

"Vik. Doni. Thanks for coming today.... take care of yourself."

"? I'll see you tomorrow"

"... right. Good night."

Claire smiled and closed the door. I really wanted to see more hindsight, but I felt dull watching any more.

Go by the window and open the window to see the beautiful full moon.

(... but I'll definitely be back)

Claire fills her body with magic as planned. Strongly conscious of the circle of the body so that I could give all the power I could have.

"Spirit, purify and bless this world until my magic runs out"

When I said so, the bright night lit by the full moon shone more white and beautiful.

Small discomfort strikes Claire as her vision fades in the light. Before she knew what the shard was, Claire lost consciousness.

Yes, Claire forgot something important.

Claire said she remained sharing the magic of Dion of the Mead family.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

When I woke up, it was Minami's room.

Claire is lying on a thin mattress bed. The room is dim and there is no Liko.

"I did it. I got here right..."

If you look at the clock, it's before 5: 00 a.m. Claire gets out of bed and moves forward to the monitor that led to the console. It was usually confusing, but not today. Consciousness belongs firmly to Claire, and I know exactly what she came here to do.

When I started the game without hesitation, I became the screen for selecting the save data for "Become ♡ ETERNAL LOVE". That's where Claire realizes.

"What makes it... The heroine in this game is Charlotte, right? Maybe it's Charlotte's fault for this game."

(If so, Charlotte is a victim of this game... because there's no way she's that bad of a character)

"Bad personality" is a sentiment. So, finally, Claire comes to the conclusion that Charlotte is an anomaly.

(assuming)

"Correcting Charlotte's character should also be important to prevent that future"

Now it's decided what Claire should do after she returns before her 15th birthday.

The first is to ensure that Charlotte's character is not distorted, and the second is to be deported from the Royal College of Aristocracy in the Noston Nation as Claire first traced it.

"If I am banished from the Royal College of Nobility, I will meet the Vikes again in the city of Aeas.... It's okay. Until then, I can do my best."

(... definitely do it and show it)

With a firm resolve in his chest, Claire loaded the save data.
