Around a thousand and eight hundred years ago, the world entered an era of great complexity. Countless wars of human countries stole it's limited minerals and mass produced weapons while some stole the mana that nature needed to thrive, causing what we called "The Cataclysm". Borne from it's name that caused the order of the world to fall apart. Aresthesia, our world almost split into two.

In that regard, to end this conflict swiftly and thoroughly, one side had to step up and rule them all. Become the strongest nation, and manipulate every country through sheer power alone.

The Excilion Empire is known to have the most advanced technology in the world of Aresthesia. Having giant mountable humanoid robots at their arsenal equipped with high-tech weaponry, they can invade any nation they wish and none could retaliate with their puny magic and swords. But the royal family for millenniums had sworn never to infringe upon the freedom rights of other countries unless it's national power is provoked.

Due to their forced mandate to stop causing pointless world wars with the threat of stepping up into the battlefield, each and every one of them retreated to the sidelines. They were like house cats compared to a lion when compared to the might of Excilion. And thus, order returned to the world on the brink of destruction.

On the other hand, alongside the internationally known fame of their mech piloting knights, their technology outside combat prowess is so primitive that it's almost comparable to the ones of other countries with the pretense of upholding tradition and saving natural resources.

The Excilion Empire's territory is shaped like a heart with each of it's many cities tightly secured by 50 meter walls and the regular maintenance of well trained and armed soldiers.

"Halt! Stop! Some brat is exiting the city using a hoverbike at a speed not permitted by the transportation agency without prior identification and license!"

And I, Fleia von Excilion was born in this country as it's princess. Although, I'm not as elegant and responsible as you may think I am.

"Get in your hoverbikes and get that kid back here. Make sure not to hurt her, got that?!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

Because afterall, I'm trying to escape this nation as fast as I can and lead the life of an adventurer in another country like my dream isekai! I don't want to be held up as a princess of a nation when I have this kind of opportunity!

"Stop chasing me already! I'm sick of life here so just let me get out!"

"Miss, please surrender and cooperate! We will not harm you so long as you decide to peacefully explain to us your hoverbike's over-exceeding speed!"

And at this moment I was being pursued by two persistent white armored knights riding hovering vehicles with armor plating of the same color. The one who replied to my plea was a guy with long brown hair and amber colored eyes.

"Shut up and just shoot her with a tranquilizer, Belton. You can see she doesn't even have a driver's license right?"

"I can't do that, she'll fall off that bike and get hurt."

"Damn goody-two-shoes. Give me that— Giving some law breaking citizen some minor injuries is better than you getting called by the council and getting subjected to insubordination."

And looks like that goddamn heartless bastard who is his subordinate isn't even skeptical to shoot me down.

Zoom!

Zoom!

Crazy bastard! He really is trying to shoot me down! If only he knew who he was trying to shoot!
