Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 172.3
As Viro replied in a barbed voice, turning a sympathetic glance toward the door through which the Prime Minister had disappeared, he heard hurried footsteps echoing from behind the door, and without knocking, the door was opened by the Prime Minister himself with a mighty bang.
“Mrs. Layton! We have received word from the border that the girl you are looking for has been found.
Sera and the others then began to scurry about.
The girl had been found with several orphaned children by a young man of Imperial nobility who was on his way back to Japan. She was found and sheltered in a town near the border.
The young nobleman himself had used a special code to contact the Marquis Durand, who was known as a moderate in the Empire.
Since the subject was fatigued, it was suggested that he be moved to the Imperial capital after a few days of recuperation there, but Sera, half threatening that it would be too late for him, made an arrangement with the Marquis Durand and rushed to the site alone with Sera and the members of the Rainbow Sword, without any of his subordinates or companions.
Sera and her team first went to the imperial capital and arranged to borrow a high-speed carriage for military use.
The normal horse-drawn carriages were only a little faster than a person could walk. Otherwise, the horses would not be able to keep up over long distances. However, like Dalton’s carriage, a military carriage had a certain amount of self-propelled functionality with magical tools, and by using trained war horses, Sera and her team arrived at their destination in less than half the number of days.
“Elena-sama…I’m so glad you are safe.”
“We were worried about you. But as you can see, we are safe.”
Elena smiled kindly and held Sera’s hand tightly as she kneeled down and took Sera’s hand.
Her hair was longer and more unevenly tousled than the Elena Sera remembered, and her skin was a little thinner and looking fatigued, a little tanned and reddish, but her beauty was unaffected, even in a dress like that worn by a low-class local noblewoman.
It was an impossible fortune to be reunited in just a few weeks with the princess, who had been missing for more than two months and whom they did not know if they would ever see again even here, but it was not just a coincidence; these women…. s refusal to give up and their actions bore fruit.
“…And Aria?”
Feld asked Elena, something that everyone was concerned about but could not say out of disrespect for the princess.
The girl whom the princess trusted more than anyone else and who had risked her life to protect her was gone.
Sera, Dalton, and the other members of the Rainbow Sword looked straight at the princess, while Elena and a young nobleman named Lawrence, who was purported to have protected her, twisted their mouths slightly.
“Before we get into that… let’s talk about the guidelines we’re going to follow.”
Elena, who looks more mature than before, perhaps because she has lost weight, catches everyone’s strong gaze and stares back at them.
Feeling the “will” of royalty in her blue eyes, Sera and the other members of the Rainbow Sword naturally fell to their knees on the spot.
“It’s a bit…of a long story.”
This city had a long-distance communication magic tool to prepare for Demon invasion, but the only magic tool capable of long-distance communication that connects nations was in the imperial capital. The first priority was to contact the Prime Minister in the capital to let him know that Elena was safe and sound in the Cleydale Kingdom.
