062. The Land of Princesses, Knights and the Gods
Alictelia Fibrary, this is my name.
Apart from the unimportant identity of the princess of the Holy Kingdom of Wurterstein, I feel like I am an ordinary person.
This is not belittlement, nor is it complacency.
But a real fact.
I am in a world full of sorrow and war.
Since I was born, what I have heard and seen most is not prosperity or peace. It is the continuous war and death.
Ever since the black magician [Glimpse of Eternal Calamity] summoned the evil and brutal dragons [Wintervelt] many years ago, there has been no laughter and peace in this country and this world.
As the princess of a country, if it were in peacetime, maybe I would be surrounded by flowers and dolls and grow up peacefully.
But as far back as I can remember, these things around me didn’t exist from the beginning.
Apart from books on marching and command, what I have come across the most is weapons, armor and war horses.
Maybe when I was young, I was full of complaints about such hard training and study.
However, after I succeeded in my studies for the first time, walked out of the royal capital for the first time, and went on the battlefield, all the complaints and all the cowardice disappeared from my heart like being washed away by water.
What remains deep in my heart is only deep regret and fighting spirit.
Why didn’t I study harder? Train harder?
If I had more power, they wouldn't die.
My comrades-in-arms would not have died, my people would not have died, the knight who ate with me would not have died, and the child who waved to me would not have died...
No one will die.
…
Only I survived.
Because I am the princess of this country.
what is this?
Is it because of my identity that the old knight who protected me took his own life?
[No, you are hope, the hope of all of us, Alice. Alistria Fibrary]
My elderly father said this to me.
I returned from the battlefield alive. After recovering from my injuries, I was awarded a weapon, an incredibly powerful weapon——
【Armour】【Getz-von-Berlicher】
This is an ancient divine weapon that only the blood of the royal family can control. It was originally the weapon my father used when he was young.
But time is such an unfortunate coincidence. When the previous generation was old and the current generation was still young, such a disaster occurred in the world. The source of all evil - a glimpse of eternal calamity, maybe it was aimed at this point...
After gaining strength, I returned to the battlefield. Time waits for no one.
In one breath, countless people will die on the battlefield, and how many people can I save in that one breath?
I can't wait to spend every second to kill one more evil dragon, which will save a lot of lives.
I started my own killing and started killing all the time!
Kill, kill, kill!
Kill more dragons, kill for justice, kill to save more people!
kill……
However, one day, I suddenly realized that I was wrong, I was really too weak.
【Armour】【Getz-von-Berlicher】
Its power is indeed powerful, but I am too weak to use it.
I can't be in two places at the same time.
I can save here, but I can't save there.
I have strong power, but I can only protect those around me and the distance I can see.
But [Wintervelt] is a group of dragons.
They have spread across the entire continent.
We went to intercept the invading dragon army lurking in the mountains, but we were unable to protect the villages we had previously stationed.
A question of either choice.
Are you abandoning this village to save more people?
Or should we give up intercepting the dragon army in order to save this village?
Am I, Alicetria Fibrali, still too weak to protect such a small village?
Then how can I protect this world among the army of [Wintervelt]?
I shoulder the hope of everyone who loves my world deeply, but I can't even do such a simple thing.
None of the five major cities have been recaptured so far, and now even a small village of Magratz has been lost, and not even a little girl who made a promise to Chen can be saved...
In the end, for what purpose...why did I gain the power I have now?
Looking at the necklace in my hand that was given to me when I said goodbye, my heart no longer has the joy of victory and the joy of killing, and all that is left is the deep regret that has been sleeping for a long time.
If I had stronger power, everything could be stopped, whether it was repeated sadness or continuous war...
…
As if my prayers had come true, suddenly one day, the girl in military uniform appeared in front of me.
Accepting her invitation, I came to this dead place of the gods.
Yes, if I were to use one word to describe this place, it would be deathly silence.
Although the world I live in is full of death and war, everyone lives with pure beliefs such as hatred, fighting spirit, or hope for the future.
But the world in front of me is more like purgatory than my world——
Although we are in this beautiful world, everyone in this world is extremely tired, and I can't see anything that can be called faith in them.
Everyone is alive like a walking corpse, a terrifying land of gods.
But even in such a world, there is a [Creator] who created the world I live in.
Is there anything more terrifying than this reality?
Somewhere in this world, there is a person who has no good faith or hope in his heart, and with the mentality of providing entertainment for everyone, he created a world full of war and death like mine under his hands.
How could such a thing happen?
Now I'm here.
If this is really an opportunity given to me by God, an opportunity to change the world with my own hands, I will definitely save my world from war at all costs.
Listening to the advice of the girl in military uniform, on the way to capture the Creator, I accidentally rescued a magical girl who knew the world very well from a group of people who were also summoned to this world, but had different beliefs.
Then with her I found and captured my Creator.
But that night, after I pointed a gun at this so-called cartoonist and asked him to forcibly change the worldview of the world I lived in, I found that the adaptation had no effect.
[Wintervelt] has not disappeared, the dead people have not been resurrected, and my power shows no sign of increasing at all.
Even now I can't even return to the original world.
This attempt was not successful, it could even be said to be a failure!
When I took the man who is the creator of our world to question the girl in military uniform who brought me into this world, this was her answer.
[Your Excellency Alictelia, I am not lying. Things like the world are also very solid. Order is necessary in any world. Only after giving it enough shake, collapse and dissonance can it be the turn of the creator.
Come and show your strength.】
【So, I hope you will shake the common sense of this world, Lady Alictria.】
I chose to believe her words again.
After that, I, the magical girl I rescued, and a despicable middle-aged man whose mouth smelled of alcohol started working together on the subversive plan of the girl in military uniform.
Until one evening, when we went to seduce a woman who was also a person from another world, but whose body always exuded the smell of lies, we had a violent argument with the other group of chosen ones who held different beliefs.
