"Is that... Miss Alvitte?"
At the summit of Royal City Mountain, Yanafeien emerged from the ruins with the head maid supporting her.
The girl looked at the ruins beneath her feet, then raised her head to look at the friend approaching from afar, her eyes briefly clouded with confusion.
The battle within the [Sea of Wandering] had inflicted terrifying damage upon the terrain.
So upon returning to reality, the summit of Royal City Mountain was naturally nothing but ruins, its former splendor gone.
Then Alvitte, her expression grave, strode toward the Princess who had lost her "home."
This was different from when the two had met before.
This time, Alvitte appeared in the Royal City with a crisp, clean-lined longsword at her waist, a heavy book and a golden chain held in her hands.
"[White Steel Sword], [Thorned Necklace], and... the [Human Wisdom Codex]?"
Yanafeien recognized the objects in Alvitte's hands almost immediately, then understood the implications a second later.
"Wait! Miss Alvitte, how did they end up in your hands?"
"Where is Mr. Linsey? And that..."
Before the Princess could finish, Alvitte arrived before her and answered on her own initiative.
"Linsey and Wala Wala stayed at sea. They planned to return last."
"He was also the one who gathered these three King's Vessels again in the [Sea of Wandering] and sent them back."
A few minutes earlier.
The instant Alvitte saw the three King's Vessels emerge from the flames and fall to the ground, she understood everything.
She immediately put the King's Vessels away and rushed here at once.
Now that she had found the nominal "royal bloodline," Alvitte explained while directly handing the three King's Vessels to Yanafeien.
Even the [White Steel Sword], which had already acknowledged her, was offered up without the slightest hesitation or reluctance.
