「Then……You are saying that you saw me within your dreams of prophecy and learned about me? 」
Whilst I was sitting down and receiving Nina’s recovery magic treatment, Princess Sistina told her story to the group.
For the time being I will put off using Enslavement Magic on her.
「Yes, the more I dreamt about the legendary Slavemancer, Tooru-sama’s appearance became gradually more clear…….The reason I was able to obtain your name is because of a dream I saw right after Kirika cut off all contact with me 」
She was sitting in front of me in an elegant seiza, her cheeks were slightly blushing as she turns her face away from me, she is beautiful.
She must feel embarrassed about the fact that she suddenly clung to me moments ago.
「Ho, however Hime-sama. Why would you say yourself that you are this fellow’s personal thing!? I’m sure that you are aware, but a Slavemancer is a job that forcefully……Turns people into their S, slaves, it’s an inhumane job, you know ?」
Kirika was in a fluster, she didn’t know what words to use to explain.
To what state she was currently in? To what was done to her?……..Kirika was totally confused as to what extent she should convey to her lord and friend who was completely untainted by this world.
「Certainly, this power might be dangerous for humanity and is a power which exceeds the law. However…….I saw it. Slavemancer Tooru-sama, using his unique power he “Saved the World”, it was a vision I saw in my prophecies」
「Eh!?」
Did she really just say “Save the World?” Is she really talking about me? This kind of me?
To her unexpected words, Kirika’s mouth and my mouth, both were open and flabbergasted.
I mean, what is she saying I will save? Sure the demons are a big threat to the humans, but it’s not like they are planning an all-out war with the humans in order to destroy them, right?
「Of course, it is but a hazy vision right now…….That is the precise reason that I came here, it was to ascertain the truth. Being unable to see through the plot of Groom with my abilities was a huge mistake on my part…..」
Indeed……For me, I’m not particularly convinced that I will rise to become the savior of the world, but at the least I think that the Princess being so convinced of such a fact about me is surely a convenient thing.
The fact that I just saved her from a demon a little while ago, will surely lead to her trusting me even more, right? The way the Princess looks at me, is like she is seeing some kind of hero or something, what a fortunate misunderstanding.
If she is able to follow all of my wishes without me invoking my Enslavement Magic on her, isn’t this more than I could ever hope for?
「Then will you use your powers as the Princess of Prophecy, and dedicate your body to me? So that you can help me to redeem the world? 」
「…….Yes. The fact that the demon race has their sights on me is a clear indication that I must do something. May I be allowed to stay by Tooru-sama’s side? 」
「Si, Sistina Hime-sama!?」(TL: I am starting to like using Hime more than Princess I may start using this more often)
Such a beautiful maiden like her just spouted out such unexpected words, indeed everyone in the room would be speechless.
「Do you……Know what this will entail? Perhaps, you will never be able to return living your life as a Princess, do you understand this? 」
「I have made my decision desu」
She looks straight at me with her big blue eyes, she shook with determination and tension. I could not see any lies within her eyes.
Of course such a wild arbitrary decision, would not be permitted amongst the royal family or anyone from the capital for that matter. This is the reason she kept this plan a secret, and sneaked out from the castle with only a small amount of people as her guards.
She separates from her family, and travels to this tower with the resolution to throw away her pampered life as a princess……..As I thought, she is an exceptional Princess-sama who has made an unthinkable action and the ability to be determined enough to mobilize.
「Si, Sistina Hime-sama…….!」
