Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 204.4

Carla looked at Clara with purple eyes as if she had noticed her presence for the first time.

“Oh, Dandol’s princess. What do you think I’m going to do?”

“I don’t care what you do to her. I don’t care what you do to her, but if you want to hurt her, I will stop you.”

Clara said this to Carla, even though she was pale under Carla’s gaze.

Carla stared at Clara’s words for a moment, then smiled and took a step toward her.

“Step back.”

Just one word…with magic and intimidation on it, that was all it took to bring her handmaidens to their knees as they tried to protect Clara.

They are not weak. As former assassins, they have the same Rank 3 ability as the Royal Guard. However, their strength was not enough to stop Carla, the most powerful woman in the country.

“I…will not retreat!”

Although pale under Carla’s pressure, Clara withstood Carla’s intimidation by force of will and stayed where she was.

“Clara…”

Elena gasped at the sight; Clara’s personality had changed at the age of eight, as if she had become possessed by something. The fundamental content of Clara remained the same, as if she had been swallowed up by adult knowledge, and from Elena’s point of view she looked like a different person.

But now she had the dignity of the vanished princess of Dandol, whom Elena had admired as a playmate in her childhood.

“What can I do for you?”

Elena was about to take a step forward at the sight of her, when Carla pointed her hand at her without looking at her.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything. I just wanted to see if you were ready to do this. You know, like this.”

At that moment, light shot out from Carla’s palm, arcing and snatching over the heads of Clara’s attendants who were about to stand up, vaporizing the expensive glass work windows.

It was probably the [Holy Flame] of fire magic. However, almost no one should be able to control Level 5 fire magic to this extent.

“Well…princess? Are you ready for this?”

Elena stopped Sera, who was about to jump forward, by waving her arm to the side, as if she had just witnessed a kitten playing.

Carla had no intention of killing Elena yet. Even so, if Sera jumps forward, Carla would burn her mercilessly.

“Elena-sama!”

Clara’s cry of concern spills out of her, as if she were a child again, and then–

“That’s enough, Carla.”

The figure appeared from outside the vanished window, and with one word, brought all of Carla’s attention back to her.

“Oh, Aria, it’s been a while.”

No one realized when she had appeared or that she had arrived until they heard her voice.

Unlike the chambermaid’s uniform that one usually sees at the castle, Aria, wearing a worn-out dress that had been through many battles, was as intimidating as Carla’s intimidation, and had a fierce atmosphere.

The beauty of her figure, the strength of her presence that could be felt, made Carla smile, like a girl in love.

“Aria, do you want to try to stop me here?”

“Carla, is this what your stage is like?”

With the two unleashing their killing intent, the princess’s subordinates, the civil servants and ladies, collapsed one after another, fainting – then suddenly Carla stopped intimidating them.

“Surely, it’s too early to say. You and I can both be a little stronger, right?”

“Yes.”

Aria replied coolly to the cheerful Carla, and Carla turned her smile to those present, those she recognized.

“Well then, Elena-sama, Clara-sama, I will see you again. I’m looking forward to another fun day at the academy.”

“A lot has happened, hasn’t it?”

After Carla, who was in a good mood, disappeared somewhere and awkwardly parted from Clara, Elena returned to her room and told me what had happened today as if she were complaining.

I wondered if today’s events had taken that much of a toll on Elena’s psyche. When I turned my gaze to my adoptive mother at her endless talk, Sera smiled slightly, but said nothing.

“But I’m glad Your Majesty didn’t get into that mess.”

“Oh my, Aria is quite nice.”

Perhaps Elena’s story was the part where His Majesty could have been abolished, and I was surprised that I put it into words like that, Elena smiled, but glanced at me lightly.

“Because if that happened, I wouldn’t have been able to meet Elena.”

“…”

For some reason, after that, Elena turned her face away silently and did not look at my face for a while.
