The Unfettered Ice Princess [ EN ]

Chapter 31 [ Relax for a While ]

On her way to the room, Naeva opened the small paper Cleopatra had secretly given her.

"......."
There were only two pieces of information written on the paper. Location and time, Glass Garden of the Princess Palace, 11 p.m. That is, Cleopatra requested a secret meeting at the Glass Garden of the Princess Palace at 11 p.m. (since there was no date information, it was concluded that it was still the same day).

"I knew it. There were a lot of strange things from the story earlier. It seems like this kid is hiding something from Bere and Ophelia but wants to share it with me. I wonder what it is?" Naeva asked herself.

Without Naeva realizing it, a creepy smile was painted on her face. Naeva felt a strange thrill. Like when you're watching an exciting movie in the theater or when a child gets a new toy. It had been a long time since Naeva had felt anything exciting and interesting because she was stuck on a frozen Earth for 30,000 years. Naeva was glad that her choice to watch and get a little involved with these newbie Conquerors gave her more thrills than a solo Tower and showing off her powers.

"Ophelia Calliope, Berenice Ptolemaios Auletes... You two live like the protagonists of a novel, even though you do nothing, trouble comes to you on its own."

"Really... A very entertaining spectacle. Can this be called Live 3D?"

Naeva turned the paper she was holding into snow. She blew on the snow until it flew away and melted on its own.
"Alright, enough with them..."

She looked at the hot afternoon sky and some of the displays they passed.
"What I'm most curious about now is... How did Lyra Erato end up in the Ptolemaios Sultanate?"

"Did a Succubus or Incubus lose it? It's hard to believe that they left it behind. It could have been the Sultanate that took it from her..."

"...No... It doesn't feel right."

"More than anything else, I emphasized to Erato to keep Erato's Lyra power a secret because it would be dangerous if it fell into the wrong hands. It's not an attack-type weapon, but the devastating impact it can have is considerable. So Erato and her descendants should take good care of this Lyra. But why?"

Naeva narrowed her eyes.
"Is it possible... Erato's last Lyra holder died of something? Then she/he damaged the Lyra so that no one could use it because she/he didn't have a successor to keep it?"

"If that is the case, it is only natural that this corrupted Lyra be kept as far away from the other Grand Families as possible. And hiding it in another cage would be better than hiding it in an open area."

Naeva's head was a little dizzy thinking about the behavior of the descendants of her students who were getting more and more untrue.
"Calliope, Melpomene, Erato... Your lives are already a tangled mess. Is the effect of having great power really this troublesome?"

"I'm curious about the others. I hope they live more righteously. What am I supposed to do if all these kids go off the rails?" Naeva thought wearily.

"Ah... On second thought... I had asked Ophelia for information about the Grand Families during the exam. But we haven't continued that conversation until now. Where are we? Hmm... Besides the other 3, there are already Clio and Terpsichore, huh."

"Then the ones I haven't heard from are Euterpe, Polyhymnia, Thalia and Urania."

"Well... You'll find out later."
