Chapter 227: Conversations between sisters

Translated by SoundDestiny

Edited by SoundDestiny

[TL: Alex called Celia, Aneue. But depending on the sentence I have to use [older sister].]

A strange-looking girl stands in front of Ceilia.

Her hair is green like emerald and translucent, with a big bun. Pearly white, smooth egg skin. Both eyes are as clear and blue as the azure sky.

Her small body, which is only 12 or 13 years old, wears a white bikini with an underwear-like top and bottom. On top of this, she wears an extremely coloured gown like a cape.

Her clothing is excessively revealing, which is unbecoming of a young lady of her age. She is dressed in an outfit that could not be mistaken for a dancer or, in some cases, a prostitute.

And her ears peeking out of her……green hair are pointed. It shows that the girl has the blood of another race different from humans: a subhuman blood called elves.

“Hey, …..Alex!　Why are you here!?”

The sudden appearance of her sister: Alex Rainmakina Amaltu Arslanian, caused Celia to exclaim as if she were bubbling over.

“You’re an imperial princess! You shouldn’t be going out so casually to a remote area like this!”

Celia released a large boomerang.

In the first place, it is Celia who is living the adventurer’s life, running away from the castle as if she were a runaway.

“It couldn’t be helped! I was looking for you, Aneue!”

Perhaps because of her long-lived elven blood, her younger sister, who is smaller than her age, walks in front of Celia with small strides.

She puffs her flat chest out and looks down on her sister, who is taller than she is.

“And……I didn’t come alone!　I’ve brought an escort, so don’t worry!”

“Oh, really? Then, um……it is okay?”

.

Celia tilts her head… but of course, it wasn’t good.

It is a splendid anomaly, with two imperial princesses of imperial blood staying in a provincial city in the countryside.

While Celia is a picture of pure and innocent. Alex is the picture of arrogance and irreverence.

The sisters were not at all similar in appearance or even personality, but surprisingly, they weren’t on bad terms.

She is one of the few members of the royal family who is not involved in power struggles in the royal court, where there is a lot of intrigue and scheming. For Celia, Alex was one of the few people she didn’t have a hard time being with and they interacted with each other in a reasonably friendly manner at the royal palace.

“What do you want from me?……Don’t tell me, did something happen in the imperial capital?”

“Well, …… it’s a long story, so let’s change places. Where we can talk privately…..?”

“Oh, there’s a guild meeting room. Do you want to use it?”

The receptionist, who had been relegated to the mosquito net, raises her hand in a gesture of encouragement and makes a suggestion.

“We don’t normally rent out rooms, but if you two are ……royalty, I’m sure the guildmaster won’t say no. I also owe Celia-san a debt of gratitude for accepting my request on such short notice, so I’ll go and rent you a room.”

“Umu, That would be good. I’ll send you a reward later.”

Alex commands in an austere tone that does not match her pretty appearance.

“That’s fine. I have some tea and pastries if you like?”

“No, thank you. I’ll leave as soon as I’ve finished talking to Aneue, so I’ll just take it as a gesture of goodwill.”

“Oh, is that so? We have some new cookies and stuff. …..”

“Au!!”

Not Alex, but Celia, who let out an unintentional sound.

Her greedy eyes. The eyes of the sweet-tempered imperial princess, a feeling of satisfaction is conveyed.

“……I’ll wrap it up for you as a souvenir. Please eat it later.”

“Thank you! I love you, Rusha!”

Celia hugged the receptionist.

The receptionist pats Celia on the back with a troubled expression.

“Aneue, time is finite. Let’s talk quickly in the room.”

“Okay.”

Alex chides her sister in a somewhat dismissive tone. Celia also replied in an absentminded manner and moved away from Rusha.

It was hard to tell which of them was older.

The sisters, who didn’t look much alike, moved to the room the receptionist had prepared for them. The soldier who had accompanied Alex as her escort was waiting at the entrance to the guild.

They were taken to a room that looked like a reception room. They sat facing each other on the soft sofa placed across the table and got down to business.

“So……what do you want from me? You don’t mean you’re here to bring me back, do you?”

“Mm, no. My business is…… well, I don’t know where to start”

Alex nods her head in agreement to Celia’s question and ponders.

[Hmmm] she snarls, gathering her thoughts in her head.

“…..Aneue, you are aware that the 『Six Witches of Doom』have returned, are you not?”

Celia nods with an ambiguous expression at the topic that is finally broached.

“I know. It was the night of the earthquake, wasn’t it?”

Celia, the holder of the Holy Sword, had heard from her father about the first visit of a witch in three hundred years: the 『Witches’ Resurrection Ritual』.

On the night of the red moon a few months ago. She is? aware of the resurrection of the witches on the night of the great earthquake that hit the western part of the continent.

The earthquake caused by the 『earth』 witch, Osman, did not cause much damage to the empire since it’s located on the centre of the continent. Rather, the hordes of demons that appeared immediately after the earthquake were more important to Celia, who had already started working as an adventurer.

“I know there are more demons appearing and that’s the sign of the witches coming back. It’s really unforgivable…..No, I think there are good children among the witches”

The image of a certain maid appears in Celia’s mind.

Not for a single moment did Celia believe that naughty maid was one of those who would lead the world to ruin.

‘I wonder how Neimilia is doing? Because it’s about that girl, she must be flirting with Onii-san even today… Aaah, mouuuu! Why does it make me feel frustrated!?’

“…..Nothing. So what’s up with the witch’s resurrection?”

When Celia answers, feeling a stirring in her chest, the fifth sister resumes her explanation.

“The other day……Aneue might not know about this. It seems that an army of undead has attacked the Kingdom of Zain. The source of the outbreak is the Kingdom of Athena in the western part of the continent.”

“What……undead……?”

“It seems that the 『earth』 witch: Osman, also known as the Queen of the Dead in the Kingdom of Aeterna, has come back to life. It is unconfirmed, but it seems that she is the one who destroyed Athena and has also attacked the Kingdom of Zain.”

“…………..!”

Celia’s eyes widened.

She almost screams, but the face of that man comes to her mind before that.

The man who defeated her and was recognised by Emperor Zacharias. There is no way that man would easily allow the undead to invade.

“But……they won, the Kingdom of Zain won right? There’s no way they can easily lose because they have Onii-san there.”

“As per Aneue’s wise words. The undead have been repelled by the army led by the king’s brother, Raidorl Zain. Now they are preparing to invade Athena in the opposite direction”

“Hmmm, that’s how it is!”

Celia nodded and puffed out her chest proudly.

As expected. Raidorl seems to have defeated the army of the undead.

But for some reason, Celia feels proud, [Fufun] and a satisfied smile appears on her face.

“Well…..If it’s Onii-san,he will be alright! He’s the man who defeated me. If he can’t do that, it makes me look weak for losing!”

“I don’t know why you are so proud of him……but here’s the thing. I would like you, my older sister, who is acquainted with His Highness Raidorl, to tell me. What’s his personality. What does he like and what does he dislike? I would like you to tell me what beliefs he stands for.”

“That’s fine, but……….eh, why?”

Celia raises a shaped eyebrow and looks doubtful.

Why would Alex want to know about Raidorl? Celia couldn’t think of a reason.

“There is now a proposition to send reinforcements from the Arslanian Empire to the Kingdom of Zain. It’s going to be hard over there, even just because of the earthquake damage, so we’re going to sell our gratitude and gain a diplomatic advantage while we still can. I’ve been put in charge of the advance team, so I’ve come to ask Aneue for advance information about His Highness Raidorl.”

“Heh, reinforcements……hmm, I see…….”

Celia ponders for a moment, crosses her arms and groans.

“Hmmm……do you think Onii-san would take that?　Onii-san is a person who rather chooses means to an end but he also has a strange sense of pride. And even then, he’s also very cautious, so he might refuse to accept Imperial support, though?”

“Well, we were enemies until the other day. It is understandable to be suspicious. That’s why I want you to be the go-between for His Highness Raidorl.”

“I see…….So, if it’s all right to send reinforcements, why is Alex in charge? It’s unusual for Otousama to give you permission to go out.”

Alex is a mixture of elven and human.

Due to the Empire’s hostile relationship with the subhuman countries to the south, there was a strong tendency to discriminate against subhumans.

For this reason, Alex, who has the appearance of a subhuman, rarely leaves the imperial capital and it must be the first time that she has been sent to another kingdom.

“Aaa, this time I was chosen as the fiancée for His Highness Raidorl. I was also appointed as the person in charge of that meeting.”

“Fuum……fiancée you say? If that’s the case, then surely ………wait..fiancée?!!”

Delayed in understanding the meaning of the words, Celia stood up involuntarily.

“Fiancée is……you mean that fiancée!? Alex,who’s your fiancée??!!!”

“Of course it is His Highness Raidorl. His Highness may be the king’s brother but he is the real ruler. He is more important than the king, Granard or that young crown prince. It would be natural for the Empire to send him a wife, wouldn’t it?”

[TL:Young crown prince referred to Neferte Athena]

“Eh…eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!?”

Celia’s exclamations echo through the interior of the guild.

The fiancée chosen without Raidorl’s permission: the fifth daughter of Arslanian’s sister, Alex Rainmakina Amaltu Arslanian.

The day of her encounter with the man who would become her husband was getting closer by the minute.

[TL: Now, as we know Zacharias is a playboy and have dozens of wife, it wouldn’t be surprised if the list is updated. Here’s the list of Celia sisters as requested..]
