Join the ServerAfter repeatedly instructing the seemingly unreliable team of witches on the rules for entering the palace, Elsa led them inside.
Naturally, not just anyone could enter the Royal Palace. Every corner was heavily guarded by members of the Holy Knights.
Elsa leading such a strange group—both in dress and demeanor—through the palace in a grand procession would undoubtedly attract the attention of the other guards.
Furthermore, Elsa had been studying at the Starsea Magic Academy in the distant Tsumuguri City for the past few years, only returning for a few days during the summer vacation each year.
For the Holy Knights, with their high turnover rate, it was not uncommon for guards not to recognize their own princess.
Fortunately, Elsa had notified her mother, Gracia, of her return beforehand. Under Gracia’s arrangement, the guards at the palace gate were veteran members who recognized Elsa.
“Lady Elsa, you’ve returned!”
Seeing Elsa and her group appear at the palace gate, the knight in charge of the guard greeted them.
“Sophia! What are you doing here? Why are you guarding the gate today? Don’t tell me you were punished by Sister Alice for making a mistake?”
Elsa looked surprised at the knight’s appearance.
“No, it has nothing to do with Lady Alice. I just heard from Her Majesty the Queen that you would be returning soon, so I wanted to be the first to see you. That’s why I’m on duty here!”
“Is that so?”
While Elsa chatted with the knight named Sophia, Charlotte poked her head out from behind Elsa to survey the situation.
Her gaze immediately fell upon the knight in silver armor, who looked incredibly handsome.
No, to be precise, it was a knight who looked like a handsome young man.
She had short, neat orange hair, her arms looked strong, she spoke eloquently, her personality was exceptionally cheerful, and her voice was androgynous. If it weren’t for her particularly prominent chestplate, Charlotte would have mistaken her for a dashing young man under twenty.
Seeing Charlotte peek out, the knight named Sophia also grew curious about her.
“Eh? This little sister is a junior from Lady Elsa’s academy? She’s so cute!”
“How rude! I’m this girl’s…”
Hearing Sophia’s comment, Charlotte looked thoroughly displeased. But just as she was about to retort, Elsa suddenly covered her mouth and spoke to Sophia with a smile.
“That’s right, Sophia, you have excellent taste. She is my junior, Charlotte. She usually calls me ‘Big Sister.’ This time, she just kept clinging to me, insisting on coming back with me. I had no choice but to bring her along.”
Although Charlotte kept punching Elsa’s body with her small fists in protest, it was not enough to stop Elsa from spouting such righteous nonsense. Elsa was brazenly taking advantage of her.
“Lady Elsa, you should hurry inside. Her Majesty the Queen has been waiting for you for a long time.”
After a brief chat with Sophia, Elsa led Charlotte and her group into the palace, walking toward a distant hall.
The scenery inside the palace was far more magnificent than outside. Seeing it, Shaula and Yuffie couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.
“Wow! Is this where Senior Elsa lives? It’s so beautiful!”
“I really want to live in a place like this and enjoy myself!”
“Hey, you two, are you country kids who’ve never been to the city before?”
Charlotte couldn’t help but scoff at Shaula and Yuffie, who were even praising a potted plant.
“Oh? You’re not surprised by the sight of our palace?”
Charlotte’s reaction sparked Elsa’s curiosity.
“Why should I be surprised? It’s just a slightly more opulent rich person’s house! Do you think I’m some poor sap who’s never seen the world?”
She had lived two lives, after all; how could she be so easily mesmerized by such a lavish scene?
As Elsa and her group advanced toward the palace, the passing maids and patrolling guards all bowed respectfully to Elsa.
They walked all the way to the entrance of a magnificent grand hall, where they found a noble lady with blue hair, dressed in a dignified and magnificent gown, already waiting for them.
Seeing the blue-haired noble lady, Elsa couldn’t contain her elation and immediately rushed into her arms like a frolicking lamb.
“Mom! I haven’t seen you in so long! I missed you so much!”
“Sasha, Mom has been thinking of you every moment too! By the way, have you gained some weight recently? You feel a bit different, somehow.”
“Hmph! That must be your imagination, Mom! I definitely haven’t been overeating just because Nicole’s food is so delicious!”
After enjoying a brief mother-daughter reunion with Elsa, the blue-haired Queen turned her gaze to the group of witches behind Elsa.
“By the way, these are…”
“Let me introduce them, Mom!” Elsa began to introduce the witches she had brought back one by one. “This is my junior disciple from the same Master, Shaula; this is my junior, Yuffie; and these two twin sisters…”
As she was introducing the accompanying Lyra and Lya, the two sisters, who looked like Rem and Ram, suddenly shouted.
“Now, Lya!”
“I know, Sister Lyra!”
Then, with the speed of lightning, they rushed in front of the blue-haired Queen and launched a close-range magical assault.
“Master, you haven’t used magic in over a decade! Have a taste of the Love Magic we’ve perfected!”
A moment later, the blue-haired Queen calmly asked Elsa.
“What’s wrong with those two?”
Elsa looked at the unconscious twin sisters lying behind the Queen, their small butts sticking up, and was dazed for a moment.
“No, it’s nothing.”
Just as Elsa and the Queen were about to ignore the overconfident twins and walk into the palace, Charlotte suddenly tugged on Elsa’s arm and complained with dissatisfaction.
“Hey? Why didn’t you introduce me? I’m still here!”
“Oh? You’re still here? I almost forgot about you!”
“You definitely forgot on purpose!”
