Let's play Minecraft in a world of Swords and Spells

(Derisha Teigitan)

Zone One of Vanos is populated by the human race and serves as the residential area for the city's administrative class.

Three underground levels down, it's the office of the overall military commander.

Despite my efforts to restrain myself, I couldn't help but shout at the commander here.

"You actually imprisoned Walson!?" The feeling of using my princess status to oppress others is so detestable, but in the end, my emotions got the best of me.

The commander before me, wearing a black military uniform, seemed quite startled by my outburst, trembling even.

"T-Ten, ten thousand apologies my princess! Hey... you! It's you! Hurry up and release Lord Walson! I'll go with you!" He pointed frantically at an innocent soldier passing by, then the commander and the soldier hurriedly fled the room. Before leaving, the commander nearly stumbled.

Really... To think they would doubt that golden dagger just because Walson is a [Villager]... Treating him with detention is just too much!

... And it's also cruel. They're treating the [Villager] as a lower race... Even though the construction and food production of an entire nation would be impossible without the [Villager]...

Perhaps here, the administrative class is composed of noble warriors. Although I really don't want to say it like that... but the nobles truly can't understand the struggles of the [Villager].

This is just how it is. When the Teigitan Kingdom was established, those who became nobles through feats in battle were all either [Fighter] or [Mages], and the nobles married among themselves, passing on their bloodlines. As a result, nobles almost never end up becoming a [Villager].

So, the [Villager] have no power, no channel to achieve merit, and no one to speak up for them... It would be wonderful if they could find closure here.

However... When I gave Walson the [Wedding Dagger] back then, I didn't think about all of this. Now, it seems to have caused Walson a lot of trouble... I wonder if he'll resent me...

"Oh my, it seems Derisha is getting angry for her beloved." Alice's expression was mocking as she spoke to me in a teasing tone.

"Derisha's lover?" Even the Horned Demon child chimed in.

In the office, they had been standing silently to the side.

"Don't, don't say that, Tanaya! It's, it's embarrassing...!" Derisha stammered, her face turning red, and she hurriedly pointed at an innocent soldier passing by.

At the age of eight years old, with a body around 1.4 meters tall, with slightly messy blue hair and prominent black horns on her forehead, this little girl's name is Tanaya.

After a few days of care, her complexion seemed much better... It was only now that I noticed she had a pair of beautiful, adorable, shiny eyes... Just looking at her makes me want to hug her.

"What!? Derisha, you actually remembered her name!? And you actually take 6 whole years just to remember mine!?"

"W-Well, it's, because she's cute, so..."

"Princess Derisha said I'm cute..." Tanaya cupped her rosy cheeks in her hands. Oh...! Her cuteness is overwhelmingly powerful!

"Ah, so I'm not cute, then?" Alice's snake tail swayed, her expression as if the world was ending.

Oh, right, even though this is [Vanos], where discrimination against demi-humans is rampant, Alice is currently in her snake-tailed form, representing herself as my vassal. There shouldn't be much of a problem... The royal identity is particularly useful at times like this.

"..., To think those losers would lose to a bunch of idiots like you, what a disgrace…"

Amidst the playful banter, a barely audible cold snort came from a corner of the room.

It was a woman dressed entirely in black clothing... She had been wearing a mask, but I had removed it.

She had short, golden hair and a symbol of the Grella Branch on her face. Her body was tightly bound by hemp rope, and she was currently discarded in the corner of the room.

She's the archer from that group that we defeated on the Road of Yafan. I had managed to remove the poison from her teeth, so she couldn't commit suicide anymore, and now, she has become our captive.

She was kept for post-event cleanup, to prevent her from being silenced, and carried along for that purpose.

I don't know if she can be used as evidence, as there are hardly any incriminating documents on her... but that's something for Alice to handle.

"Well, the fact is, you lost, so don't be such a sore loser." Before I could answer, Alice retorted.

"Hmph, anyway, you won't have much time to feel triumphant. [Blade] will definitely complete their mission, I have fulfilled the deacon Oracle, I can die with honor"

According to her words, the team [Blade] had already infiltrated this city, and their numbers seemed to be several times greater than the [Scythes] we defeated on the Road of Yafan...

Which means, depending on the circumstances, things might get even more serious...

"An oracle? I bet you're just dying for the private desires of that Deacon, Orlan Dorat. "

"What Lord Dorat says is the oracle of the goddess, what does a snake rolling in the mud like you know?"

"Oh really? So, if Orlan Dorat takes a liking to a woman and orders you to capture her for him to... you know, is that also the oracle of the goddess?"

"As long as it's what Lord Dorat says, it must be the oracle of the goddess"

"You've really been brainwashed to the point of idiocy."

"What would a heretic like you know! The deacon will surely guide us to victory! [Blade]'s infiltration was already completed three days ago! There's been no signal of mission failure so far, it must have been accomplished!" Alice's words infuriated her, distorting her expression and filling her eyes with fanatical zeal.

Then, she revealed shocking information.

By the time I realized it, the tip of my spear was already pointed at her throat. If it weren't for Alice's intervention, this office might have become an execution ground by now.

"Well, calm down. In the basement of the restaurant opposite the [Chaddor Trading Company] on Alley 13, they're located there." Alice waved her hand, positioning herself between me and the black-clothed woman.

"How do you know the oracle Lord Dorat has given us? Heretic! Heretic!" As she spoke, veins popped on her forehead, and her raised eyebrows made her face look sinister and terrifying.

"I've always wanted to ask, Alice, how exactly are you...?" I was a little calmer now, and the subsequent thoughts were doubts I had harbored for a long time.

Alice is well-informed, but how does she know all this intelligence?

"Well, I can get an answer to a lot of things under certain conditions, but, Instead of wasting your time listening to my boring explanation, why don't you go rescue your husband?" Alice shrugged playfully and stuck her tongue out.

I didn't want to delay any longer. I grabbed [Anti-Melon Spear Prototype 1.0] and saw the commander from earlier at the door.

"Y-Your Highness the Princess! I am deeply sorry, truly sorry! Lord Walson...!!!!"

"No need to explain, we know he's been kidnapped. Take good care of my vassal while I'm away." I was about to leave, but he stopped me.

"If it's a kidnapping! Then deploying troops should solve it. I will follow your orders..."

"... He's in Alley 13, the restaurant opposite [Chaddor Trading Company], evacuate all the people within a hundred meters. I don't want anyone to get hurt."
