Celia Von Arslanian is an Imperial Princess.

As the holder of the Holy Sword of Thunder, she fought in the war against the Kingdom of Zain, but was defeated in battle and taken prisoner.

As a prisoner of war, Celia is forced to share her life with the holder of the Holy Sword that defeated her: Raidorl Zain and experiences a number of events for the first time in her life.

For better or for worse, having gained a variety of experiences as a warrior and a woman, Celia returned to her homeland after a peace was concluded between the Kingdom of Zain and the Arslanian Empire.

Defeated, Celia was prepared to receive the punishment she deserved, but surprisingly, she was not scolded on her return home.

On the contrary, she was even praised and awarded a medal for her role in establishing friendly relations with the Kingdom of Zain.

Her guess is that they want to pretend that the fact that the Imperial Army was defeated against a smaller, lower-ranked kingdom never happened.

If it were made public, such as the defeat of the tiger’s childrens, even the holder of the Holy Sword, it would cause unrest among the people.

Thus, on her return to the Arslanian Empire, Celia had to return to her life as a princess for a while.

She attended tea ceremonies with the children of noble families, dressed up in beautiful dresses and attended parties. Celia has returned to the way she should have been as a princess, but deep down, something was missing from her heart.

“I can’t keep doing this……I’m the Holy Sword’s chosen hero! I have to swing my sword for the good of the world and others, even if just a little!”

.

With such declarations as Celia left the royal palace without waiting for her father’s permission.

Celia headed for the Adventurers’ Guild. It was an institution specialising in exterminating demons, which she had used many times when she was in the Kingdom of Zain.

After knocking on the guild’s door, Celia worked energetically. Accepting one difficult request after another, she travelled throughout the empire and defeated the demons that tormented the people.

Of course, the people of the royal court are trying to bring back the princess, who has run away from the castle to fight dangerous demons.

But there is no one who can capture Celia, who can fly in all directions like a lightning bolt.

Her father and emperor, Zacharias Von Arslanian [Just leave her alone!Leave her alone!] and laughed hysterically at his daughter’s outburst, no full-scale search was possible and Celia’s journey to defeat the demons was half-approved.

Celia chose to become an adventurer for two main reasons.

The first is that, after working as an adventurer in the Kingdom of Zain for a short period of time, she learnt how people were being tormented by demons.

Powerful demons originally only appeared in outlying areas such as the frontier cities that were ruled by raiders. ｂ𝚎ｄｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ

However, in recent years, the number of demons appearing and the range of their activities have increased significantly. Even in areas where demons have never appeared, damage has occurred and people have been attacked and killed.

Celia was not so heartless as to turn a blind eye to the suffering people she saw.

The months she spent as an adventurer were enough to change her outlook on life.

Another reason is that she has lost sight of the 『justice』 of war.

The Arslanian Empire has launched wars of aggression against countries with the cause that humanity should join forces to confront the threat of the 『Six Witches of Doom』.

Celia has always believed it was the right thing to do. Until she came to the Kingdom of Zain.

Living in the Kingdom of Zain and interacting with its people,　she began to question whether it was really right to destroy their lives and impose imperial justice on them.

Also, Raidorl, the royalty of an enemy kingdom. Living under one roof with his arch-enemy Neimilia, one of the 『Six Witches of Doom』, has overturned her previous values from the bottom up.

She no longer believed that wielding the Holy Sword for the sake of 『imperial justice』 was the right thing to do.

After anguishing, conflicted, lost and suffering regrets, she finally decided, she chose to follow her own path of justice.

She was not forced by anyone. She found her own reason for wielding the sword.

In other words, she chose a future as an adventurer, fighting against demons, the enemies of humanity.
