Little Princess
A battering ram slams into the castle gate
"Archer, ready, fire!"
Archers on the castle wall shoot down the soldiers pulling a battering ram.
However, many soldiers were sent to us by Prince Daviz.
Soon, other soldiers begin the siege.
"That's not good... any guard here?"
"Here!"
"This castle won't last any longer. Prepare for the princess's escape..."
"But where should she run to?"
"I don't care! But if she doesn't escape, that rotten general will torture the princess to death!"
"Shit! I understand. I'll be back when she's ready."
As soon as Princess Eriol escapes, we will open the gates and attack.
We'll start preparing for that.
"Everyone, I'll ask you to accompany me!"
"With pleasure!"
"Finally, we'll show her one last good deed!"
"I’ll gather the horses!"
"You guys, shoot all your arrows now! It's going to be a melee battle, and we don't have time to pull the strings!"
We'll buy as much time as possible.
The longer we buy time, even just a moment, the safer Eriol-sama will be.
---------------------------
I hear a roar from the castle window
"Eriol-sama, it's not safe there!"
"...Is there any safe place in this castle?"
The maid is worried about my safety, but there's no point in that.
Even I, a child, can understand
I'm going to be killed today
At first, I was scared but I couldn't help it
It seems that people become surprisingly calm when death is definitely approaching.
While I was in such a mood, a guard came into my room.
"Eriol-sama, prepare to leave immediately!"
"I'm running away?"
"Yes…"
"Where am I running to?"
"......"
"How will a child like me survive by leaving here and running away aimlessly?"
I am, after all, a daughter born as a result of my father's play.
Maybe it would have been better if I was a man
A female child can only be used as a tool for political marriage.
They have no expectations, so I am not educated.
An incompetent princess who can't use a sword, bow, horseback riding, read or write.
A princess with nothing but bloodline.
If I lose my bloodline, what will be left?
"Can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"If I give them my head, will everyone in the castle be saved?"
"No, everyone will die. Even if their lives are spared, everyone will follow the princess's lead and choose suicide."
"I see... I won't escape."
"Princess!"
"This is an order. I will give them my head and you will live, or fight for me."
Silence continues as no one answers my commands.
"Uooooooohhhhh!!"
There's a roar and a smell of rot coming from the castle gates.
"Have they breached the gates?"
"Princess! Please escape!"
"Don't underestimate me just because I'm a child! I'm a member of Shelma's royal family, and I don't want to survive by killing my loyal subjects!"
"Then I will force you if I have to!"
The guard grabs my arm tightly
"This is an order! Choose the path that will save you!"
"I can't!"
No one stops the guard.
The attendants are preparing to leave
"Why are you all disobeying my orders! Why are you willing to die for me!"
"Because we want you to live!"
I rampaged while being held by the guard.
When I suddenly looked at the window
"Wait... what is that...?"
A fierce flame broke out in front of the castle gate.
Enemy soldiers are running around in flames.
I can see the heads of enemy soldiers falling to the ground one after another.
In the center
A man on horseback wielding a huge ax and spear
There was a man swinging a strange-looking long sword as if it were dancing in the air.
It was a scene that I will never forget.
Soldiers engulfed in fire and dancing in the heat
In the center, the cavalry dances violently like a tornado.
A swordsman dancing on the flow of the tornado
It was like something out of a painting
