"Maya, Sirene we're going to meet up with the current emperor. Will you two follow me or will you wait for me here?"

Serra questioned his two attendants.

"I'll stay here. Humans bore me."

Maya said clearly uninterested with human affairs.

As a Demonic Beast who didn't participate in the war against humans, she was never interested in humans to begin with. Maya was a plant-type demonic beast who preferred to rule her territoy in peace. Thus, though she never served the Demon King, she still treated them in a friendly manner thus the Demon King and his armies left her alone.

"I'll follow you master."

Sirene spoke respectfully.

Although Sirene despised humans, nobility the ones she hated the most, she loved and adored her master who took care of her in the past.

"There might be a bit of trouble if Sirene comes along but I can deal with it easily enough. Eisel, Meileen, you two lead the way."

The two nodded.

""Yes Ancestor.""

The two princesses were convinced that he was their ancestor now. He possessed enough power to rule the world with ease.

Even if he was lying about being their ancestor, what of it?

Rather, it was more important which side this supreme expert was on.

Supreme Experts all have a sense of pride and noble bearing.

They walked a harsh path and were lofty individuals who considered such deeds beneath them.

The two princesses headed towards the castle.

"Ah... The flowers are truly beautiful today."

A gardener spoke while humming a tune.

She gazed towards the field of blue flowers with satisfaction.

"Hm?"

She caught sight of two people running in that field of flowers.

"Those two are...? Princess Eisel and Princess Meileen!?"

She was shocked.

She received news that the two were captured.

She was worried sick and decided to dedicate herself to work while praying that they would one day return.

However, how could they return this fast!?

Heavens, was she having a daydream?

"Lein? It is you!"

Princess Eisel spoke joyfully and hugged her.

That brought her back to her senses.

"Pr-Princess! You're back safe and sound!"

From behind them, she saw a youth and a mature woman walking towards them.

"And they are...?"

"Ah...They're the ones who rescued us."

"What...? I see. Then thank you so much for rescuing our beloved princesses."

She bowed towards them.

"We'll head towards Royal Father now. Please carry on with your duties."

They bowed and left.

Lein was smiled with joy and began watering the plants again.

"What beautiful flowers... As expected of the gardener of the Imperial Castle."

However, they looked much more beautiful than before and it wasn't due to the weather or the flowers themselves.
