The Imperial Princess.
　In the current imperial imperial family, which was full of princes, there is only one person who is called that.

''Eh.........Ah, that Holy Imperial Princess!

　Amu raises his bare voice.

　The Holy Imperial Lady Fiona.
　She is the only daughter of the current Emperor Urdwight and was born to a maiden who served the central temple.
　She was sung by many bards because of her rarity, and her beauty led to several portraits and statues, and her name is widely known even among the people.

　Such an existence........stood alone in the garden of a country nobleman's mansion.

　Glei looked at Amu, who had raised his voice, and said

''Hey there!　That's disrespectful.
It's you, Glei. Aren't you being a little rough on me lately, for any reason?

　As I watched their exchange, Amu shook me on the shoulder.

'Hey, hey!　Why is the Holy Princess in your house!
It's just that... we're on a staycation, or...
You never said a word about that!

　Because I didn't want to tell him and have him say no.

'I've been wanting to meet you, Miss Amu.
Wow!

　Amu reacts with a jittery reaction to His Highness Fiona, who was somehow nearby.
　The princess spins the words in the air with a somewhat elusive smile.

''I'm sorry to have startled you. I was in the middle of a tour of the region, but I was forced by Count Lamprog to let me stay. I wanted to see you so badly that I asked your son to take advantage of the school holidays and bring you to me.
Oh, wow...

　Amu gave me a sideways glare. 'Sorry.

'I guess I didn't get the message from that one. But please don't blame your schoolmate. I was the one who made it impossible for him to do so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine, but why do you want me to do it?
''Mm-hmm, I've heard about you. Two years ago, you were accepted at the top of the class at the magic academy, right?　After getting the best grades ever.
What?　Was that guy His Highness was talking about you? No wonder I thought your sword was so heavy.
Gry. You need to be quiet.

　Without even looking at Glai, who is shushing her, Fiona speaks to Amu.

I've heard that you have not only the magical aptitude for all attributes, but also an uncommon skill with a sword. Ummm........just like a hero in a fairy tale.
Oh, thanks, that's what they used to say.
"Uh-huh.

　Fiona stares at Amu with her dull eyes.

"Red hair and young grass-colored eyes ... it's just as I saw it. I'm sure your mother saw it at the end of her life as well........
...?
"Dear Seika Lamprog.

　Then suddenly Fiona turns to me.
　She continues with a smile.

'Thank you so much for listening to my sudden selfishness.

　I was baffled for a moment, but I smiled back, remembering the aristocratic language.

It's not at all. If Your Highness wishes, you can ask for this kind of thing as much as you like.
....
....
....
Well what is it?

　Fiona stared at me in silence for a while before she shook her head and said no. "It's nothing," she said.

'It's nothing. I've heard that Seika-sama is also very talented. I heard that you won the imperial capital's martial arts tournament. I couldn't watch it because I was afraid of the blood, but now I regret it.
'I'm afraid so. It was a strong field of competitors, but we got lucky in time.
....
....
....
...Well, what is it, exactly?
No it's nothing. Hmm. If it were possible, I would want you both to be my holy knights, but that's not going to happen.

　Fiona muttered in a euphoric tone, but eventually came to her senses and said.

'I plan to stay a little longer. If you would like, would you like to leave with me for the new school year?　We're going in the same direction as Rodnea. You'll have to stop at King's Landing first, but a platoon of guards will accompany you, and we can provide you with good accommodations along the way.
'Yes, yes. That would be a nice thing to wish for. By all means....
Well, we'll be sure to do that.

　Fiona smiled somewhat humanly for the first time there.

'Please be good to me while I'm here.

　So let's see you at dinner time," she said.
　Fiona walked away.

　It's the opposite direction from the mansion, but where is she going?　I guess we're going to take a walk in the garden.
　Glei ordered Lauren to follow her, and if it's on the grounds, well, there's no danger.......
　What a strange woman.

The only thing that's different about the holy princess is that she's not what I imagined.

　Amu muttered. I felt the same way.

'Se-se-se-seika-kun!　Now, the real Princess of Wales!
Why did you keep talking?
'Oh, no, it's not that... brother Luft!　Come on, come on, get in your room.
'Hmm, yes. I will introduce you all again to His Highness at the dinner table. I'm sure you must be tired after your long journey, so until then, please relax in your room for now.

　I line up next to Luft, who is leading the way, fleeing the pursuit of Yifa and Mabel, who come running up to me.

"Huh, totally...
'Did you bring him here without telling him his highness was there?　It's not good.
'My brother would have been in trouble if he'd said no. You should just be grateful that I brought you here. More importantly why didn't you stop me earlier?
Hmm?
It's about my brother Grye.
'Yeah well Glai has been rivaling Seika for a long time. I didn't feel comfortable interrupting him.

　Luft says with a chuckle.

'Besides, I knew it wouldn't happen often.
Why?
They're both so much stronger than I am now. They say that the better the fighters train with each other, the less injuries they get.
This isn't a rehearsal, but...

　Well I know what you're saying.

'Keh, hey Seika!

　Before I knew it, Glei was walking right next to me.
　He looks down at me from above.

I'm going to beat the shit out of you one day.
Hmm?　Don't say when, but try now?
I'm not gonna win.

　Glei looked away and muttered.

　I furrowed my brow.
　I wondered what had happened to him just a few minutes ago, when he had been so vigorous. I wondered what had happened to him since he had exchanged words with the princess.

　Whether he knows about my suspicions or not, Gurai asked me in a disgusted tone.

I'm sure you're not the only one who's interested.

'What's with the other grey-haired woman?
'She's the daughter of Baron Crane. Don't be disrespectful to your father and brother Luft, as they will be in trouble.
Why do you have to bring that thing with you?
I thought it would be better to have an extra headcount so I wouldn't have to deal with His Highness.
"!　Hmm, the faller....

　So Gurai lowered the volume of his voice by two turns and said.

''Well that's quite a clever thought, isn't it? Well done.''
..........

　Apparently, Glai was not good with Fiona either.
