Liliana, daughter of a Viscount, Aurora's lady-in-waiting

“Miss Aurora!”

“Looks like it's my turn.”

Aurora, clad in the sparkling aura of a beautiful girl, stands there with a smile on her face. The fan in her hand had a mysterious Kobold doll swinging on it instead of a decorative tassel. I had not expected Aurora to use it, and I was surprised and even moved. A daughter of a Duke hanging a creepy, strange doll. How is that possible?

In addition, she'd gone to the trouble of standing by, anticipating that I'd transfer here if anything went wrong.

“……How…… terrible.”

Aurora's complexion changed when she saw the beastman I brought with me. However, she didn't look frightened at all.

“I think he might have a broken rib lodged in his lung.”

“I understand. Liliana, can you go and get the academy doctor?”

“Yes!”

Aurora, who had given the instructions with a sharp expression, now turned her gentle gaze on the girl. The girl forgot to cry and looked blank. She was probably startled by the sudden change of location.

“What is your name?”

Aurora quickly gets down on her knees, makes eye contact with the girl and, without hesitation, wipes her tear-stained face with a handkerchief.

“……Emily.”

“So your name is Emily. I'm sure I can heal this person, so don't cry anymore.”

“Re-really?”

“Yes, really.”

Aurora nodded deeply to reassure her girl, and this time she turned her gaze to me.

“Please leave this to Liliana and I. Sapphiras-sama, please go back there immediately.”

“……Thank you”

“Be careful.”

The mysterious Kobold doll shakes with Aurora's fan as she sees me off.

It's not that difficult for me to suppress the Worstitters' rebels. If I was asked to do something about the country, it would be impossible. Compared to defeating Insania Mettus, liberating the royal capital of a modest country is a piece of cake. However, when you casually point out that we're friends like that, it makes me feel itchy and happy. But now is not the time to get carried away, so I have to pull myself together. Judging from the state of the royal capital earlier, there may be other soldiers who are doing outrageous things. I wonder what's going on with Clawis and the others.

When I returned to the royal capital of Worstitters and was running through the streets looking for Percival, a large shadow crossed over my head. I looked up at the sky and saw that Unisus was just about to descend.

“Percival!”

“Sapphiras! Clawis and the others have freed the detained people!”

“Really?!”

“Yes, they were trapped in the temple. And the beastmen who sheltered the humans were with them……”

“I understand. Are you injured? Is there anyone seriously injured?”

“Yes, some of them need immediate medical attention.”

I knew it. I don't want to think that all beastmen soldiers are like that, but some of them seem to be very bad. Or is it an order from the top?

”Let's take the wounded to the academy. Miss Aurora is taking care of the medical treatment over there.”

“Miss Aurora?”

“Yes. Actually, a few moments ago, I carried a beastman who was badly injured protecting a human girl to the academy courtyard. When I did so, Miss Aurora was already waiting for me.

“……I see.”

Percival's stern expression relaxes slightly. It's really reassuring to think that there are friends who are supporting at the back.

“Anyway, let's go to the temple……Huh? Come to think of it, where's Cait Sith?”

I don't see Cait Sith, who should be with Percival. I don't think it's possible that he fell off Unisus.

“Ah, he's obsessed with catching things. I was told not to mind because he was going to do whatever he wanted.”

“Ehhh, I hope he doesn't overdo it, but I wonder if he's okay?”

Cait Sith is a small phantom, but it's not to be underestimated. Is it okay to let him do as he pleases even though he has a certain amount of power?

“It'll probably be fine. As far as I could see, he seemed to be following Sapphiras's instructions.”

“Mm……okay then.”

If Percival says so, then we can leave Cait Sith alone. It's agile, so it might be better to have him move alone.

We need to carry the wounded first. The location of the temple was ascertained from the sky last night. I saw it standing on the outskirts of the capital.

When I quickly transfer to the temple with Percival, I found that Clawis has given instructions to the guard knights and the Royal Capital Liberation Army, and they are moving to protect the liberated people. Some people are frightened of the beastmen because of this incident, but they are responding as politely as possible.

“First we have to tend to the wounded, after that, water and food for the children!”

“O-i! Clawis!”

“Sapphiras, you're safe!”

“You did well.”

“Yeah, thanks to Sapphiras.”

I bump fists with Clawis with my dominant hand, in recognition of our successful mission.

“I'll take the seriously injured to Miss Aurora for now.”

“You don't mean that the daughter of the Duke of Bloomfield is cooperating?”

“Yes, she's standing by at the academy courtyard.”

“'……I see, thank goodness.”

Clawis muttered as if he was chewing on it. The change in expression revealed that a small, hot flame had been lit in Clawis's chest. It was clearly different from the melancholic expression he had when he was worrying about his homeland from the distant land of the human race.

But for some reason, Clawis' expression reminded me of something. I seem to have seen this kind of expression quite often?

“Clawis-sama, there are about five people, including human beings, who need immediate medical attention.”

As I was pondering, Rivera came to report to Clawis that five people could be transported in two transfers.

I immediately returned to the academy with the injured. Volunteer academy students, who had responded to Aurora's call, welcomed the injured. They were quickly administering first aid and assisting Aurora in her healing.

Even Aurora, a user of holy magic, would collapse from lack of magical power if she had to heal this many injured people properly. That's why they're taking care of the injured so that Aurora's burden is reduced as much as possible. I can leave this part to her. Convinced of that, I return to Worstitters.

Now it's time to go and get the head of the leader.

“Clawis, where do you think His Majesty and the others are locked up?”

“If my father were to be treated as a King, it would be the spire of the castle, but if not, it would be the dungeon……”

Clawis made a painful expression.

It was probably because he had seen what the rebels had done to the people in the royal capital. The behaviour of those below is a mirror of those above. Although he is an uncle related by blood, he knows that he would not behave in a respectful manner towards the King, who is also his brother. I also agree with Clawis' idea.

“Then let's go to the dungeons first. Where should I enter?”

“From the north castle gate. I'll lead the way once we're inside.”

“Yes, thank you. I can jump1 anywhere outside the castle because I saw everything last night, but not inside the castle. Therefore, if the lives of you guys, or His Majesty the King and Her Highness the Queen are in danger, I might destroy the castle. But I'm just a commoner, so I can't pay for the castle I destroyed……don't ask me to pay for it afterwards.”

I have to say this, just in case. No matter how much magic I can use, I can't fix what's broken. Magic never deviates from the Goddess' logic, no matter how much imagination is used. It would take a long time to explain this, so I'll spare you the details.

Anyway, when I said that, Clawis and Rivera laughed and Percival patted me on the shoulder.

“I'm not asking you to pay for repairs in this emergency. Just, please be gentle.”

“Don't overdo it.”
