The handwriting on the letter was graceful, yet it revealed an unquestionable wildness and languor.
"To be opened personally by the King of Orr:
While returning to my country, This Queen unexpectedly discovered that your noble country's First Princess, Vasha, was actually present in This Queen's carriage.
Princess Vasha claims she has long yearned for the Light of Civilization of the Kingdom of Mason and wishes to proceed to Mason for advanced studies in the capacity of Minister of Trade.
Due to busy domestic affairs in Mason, This Queen will not make a special return trip to send her back.
Given the sincerity demonstrated by Princess Vasha, This Queen has decided to temporarily keep her in the Palace to serve. If the King of Orr misses his daughter dearly, he may send someone to the Kingdom of Mason at any time to discuss details regarding the expansion of those three thousand acres of river beach land.
As for that Third Princess, Daphne, whom your noble country regards as a witch, This Queen has observed that she possesses an extraordinary constitution and has the face of Truth. Since the Kingdom of Orr intended to execute her anyway, This Queen has conveniently handled the matter on your behalf.
From this day forth, Daphne-Orr no longer exists. Remaining in Mason will be This Queen's Chief Physician.
You are welcome.
——Sophia Mason, on the return journey."
"Pfft—!"
The King of Orr failed to catch his breath and nearly sprayed out a mouthful of old blood directly.
Is this letter an apology?
This is clearly a slap landing loudly right on his face!
"Unexpectedly discovered?!"
The King of Orr crumpled the letter paper into a ball and trampled it frantically under his feet.
"Does she take This King's daughters for wildflowers by the roadside? Picking them whenever she pleases?!
And 'conveniently handled the matter'?
She is publicly trampling on the glory of the Royal House of Orr!"
Returning to the Palace Council Chamber, the atmosphere was oppressive to the point of suffocation.
The King of Orr was like a startled lion, frantically smashing every piece of porcelain within his sight.
Expensive emerald vases and pure silver candlesticks tumbled and shattered on the ground, emitting ear-piercing sounds.
"War! This King wants to wage war!
Summon all the knights! This King will level that barren pit of Mason!"
However, the Chancellor and generals sitting below strangely maintained their silence.
"Speak! You bunch of rice buckets!"
The Marshal of the Kingdom of Orr, General Krog, who was steady, prudent, and had established countless military merits, stood up. His hands were trembling, and fine, cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
"Your Majesty, please quell your anger.
This subject... this subject just reviewed the manner of death of that assassin from last night.
That weapon named 'musket' can pierce through a protected skull within three steps.
If the Kingdom of Mason truly possesses sixty, or even hundreds of such guards, our knights would not even be able to charge within a hundred meters of them."
"And the First Princess..."
The Chancellor sighed faintly, his old eyes filled with apprehension.
"Why did Sophia Mason leave this letter?
Was it truly just an 'unexpected discovery'?"
At this moment, the strategists of the entire Council Chamber, driven by extreme fear, fell into deep contemplation one after another.
"No, Your Majesty, have you not seen it yet?"
The Chancellor's voice was trembling.
"This is clearly an open conspiracy by Sophia Mason!
She deliberately sent the letter only after leaving, precisely waiting for you to send troops to intercept her.
If you really did intercept her, she would have an excuse to say that the Kingdom of Orr provoked a war, thereby using that power of thunder to annex our territory with a valid justification!"
"She took Daphne away to master the Witchcraft of healing power.
She took Vasha away to plant an insider familiar with Orr's political situation within the future Mason court!
From the very first second she stepped into Orr, she had already calculated how to thoroughly hollow out the Royal House of Orr!"
"Even that assassination..."
A powerful minister lowered his voice, speculating in horror.
"Perhaps that was also within her expectations!
She used that assassination to display military force, used military force to deter neighboring countries, and finally harvested our two princesses in passing.
This kind of interlocking strategy, calculated without omission..."
"Your Majesty, that sixteen-year-old girl is not human at all; she is a war devil wearing human skin!"
The King of Orr sat back heavily onto that golden throne.
He looked at the fragments covering the floor, then listened to the evaluations of these ministers who were usually insufferably arrogant.
He suddenly discovered that on this deep autumn morning, his Kingdom of Orr, of which he was so proud, was actually as fragile as an eggshell that could be crushed at will under that girl's shadow.
"What are This King's odds of winning?"
He asked General Krog with a hoarse voice.
The General lowered his head, remaining silent for a long time, before finally spitting out a cold word:
"Zero."
"Ha... Haha... Hahaha!"
King Frederick let out a burst of wild laughter bordering on a breakdown.
He looked at the vast plains outside the window, the territory conquered by his ancestors, which was now trembling at the fingertips of that girl.
"Sophia Mason.
You have snatched away everything from This King!
My land, my resources, my daughters!"
He slammed his hand violently on the armrest, an intense hatred erupting in his eyes.
"This King swears!
As long as the Kingdom of Orr has one last soldier remaining, This King will definitely raze every inch of the Kingdom of Mason's land into ruins!
I will make that Black Rose banner turn to ashes in a sea of fire!"
"But before that..."
He closed his eyes painfully, appearing to have aged ten years.
"Block the news. Absolutely do not let outsiders know that the First Princess defected privately.
Just say... just say Your Majesty reached a strategic marriage... no, reached a friendship exchange agreement with the Queen of Mason.
Temporarily allocate those three thousand acres of river beach land for Mason's use. This King must endure... endure until the day we master the secret of that thunder weapon!"
Meanwhile, in that shock-absorbing carriage which had already crossed the Orr border and was driving smoothly on the wasteland.
Sophia was leaning crookedly against the soft cushions with zero regard for her image, hugging a soft, long body pillow in her arms and happily eating the apple pie Willow had cut.
Princess Vasha sat opposite her, marveling as she examined the precise bearings and shock-absorbing devices on the inner walls of the carriage.
Daphne sat in the corner, her hair, which resembled melted gold, flickering with a strange luster under the dim lamplight.
She was like a frightened fawn, her back pressed tightly against the carriage wall, her emerald eyes filled with conflict and unease that almost spilled over.
Why doesn't she ask me?
Daphne's pale fingers gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her palms already seeping with cold sweat.
As a 'Magical Girl' from another world, her life had taken a complete turn during that drowning incident three years ago.
She had accidentally fallen into the water in the world of Magical Girls, and coincidentally transmigrated into the body of Princess Daphne, who had died from drowning.
In her original world, she was a Magical Girl admired by ten thousand people, capable of destruction and creation with a wave of her hand, solving troubles and darkness for humanity.
But in this world, where magical power was as barren as a desert, her power had been reduced to a nearly embarrassing level.
Aside from various healing abilities to save people, and some buffs to increase strength, speed, encourage, or induce weakness and paralysis, she had lost almost all means of attack.
In the dungeon of the Kingdom of Orr, she thought every day: If someone knew I was a Transmigrator, would they roast me on a fire stake?
