“Devil’s Fruit, huh?” I plucked the fruit that dangled from the plant and examined it. The round, dark purplish bulb that weighted down from the low-growing plants along the ground looked hardly menacing to me. I was currently at the outer edge of the kingdom, close to the southern border of Purnesia. Saki had joined
“Mind if I join you?” Eryn eyed the two of us. Instinctively, I scooted over to give her a place to sit. Eryn was usually a busy person, having to manage the new duties of being a Marchioness. The activities in the domain were booming, motivated by the progressive nature of craftsmen and merchants centered
Coming down the stairs of my impressively large residence, I found Saki sitting alone at the dining table. Her breakfast recently polished off, a cup of green tea steamed in front of her, a favorite drink of hers since we had discovered it. “Breakfast, sir?” Roberto asked, part of the usual morning ritual. I nodded

Seemingly, the others had encountered demonized people as well. But those at the south gate
Elsewhere, Eryn and Saki were caught in their own battles. Having moved separately from Claude’s group, they led the charge into Engelburg from the eastern gate, where the buildings had already been demolished by destructive magic. Having surveyed the area with Hal, Cornelius determined that whatever was responsible for this act needed extensive firepower. The
Seeing the ‘me’ from my previous life, I scrambled to my feet in a space where an endless expanse of white surrounded me. The smell of things burning in the distance and the roaring sounds of battle were gone. The voice of a possessed princess that shook me to my core was no longer heard.
