"What's going on? My magic actually..."
Kiwi smirked confidently. "This magic disrupts the mana in space. Your attacks can't reach me anymore."
"However, mine will always reach you."
A golden pointer shot out from within the green barrier, slamming into Nozel Silva's Mercury Shield.
Blood stained his silver cloak. Behind him, Solid trembled, the attack stopping just half a foot from his body.
"Brother Nozel, save me!"
Nozel wiped the blood from his mouth. "Don't worry. As your elder brother, I will protect you."
A sharp cracking sound echoed.
The barrier shattered as a blade tore it open.
Cedric stepped through with Noelle at his side.
"What touching brotherly love. Your royal sister is almost jealous," Cedric said with a faint smile.
"Noelle, you..." Solid stammered, pointing at her.
Noelle ignored him, her gaze fixed on Nozel, her hand clenched tightly.
"You said no one can hit you, right?"
Kiwi froze. She was not even being looked at.
Noelle raised her wand and unleashed a torrent of water.
The barrier quickly filled, swelling until it completely took on Noelle's shape.
"Now what? Do you still think I can't hit you?"
Before Kiwi could respond, the water overflowed violently.
"It's time for you to leave."
The massive current spun and slammed into Kiwi, knocking her unconscious.
"Cough, cough, Noelle, are you trying to kill me?" Solid shouted.
Noelle smiled faintly. "Didn't I just save your life? Questioning me like that is hardly proper royal behavior."
"Shut up! That's no way to talk to your elder brother!"
"Brother Nozel..."
Cedric gently placed a hand on Noelle's shoulder, pulling her slightly closer.
"Enough. If this family doesn't value you, you still have me, my little princess."
Nozel hesitated, regret flashing across his face.
He wanted to speak.
But before he could, Cedric tilted Noelle's chin and kissed her.
Nozel coughed up blood, turning his head away. At this point, words felt meaningless.
As long as she was safe, that was enough.
After a long moment, Cedric finally pulled back, his expression calm.
"Alright, we'll continue later."
He turned his attention to Kiwi.
Looking at her now swollen stomach and delicate face, Cedric's gaze lingered for a second longer than necessary.
"Not bad."
He pressed the Demon-Destroyer Sword against her chest.
The markings on her face disappeared, and her ears returned to normal.
With a ripple of space, he sealed her away.
"Cedric, you..." Nozel began.
Cedric turned, placing a glowing hand on Nozel's head.
"You should rest too, brother-in-law."
After dealing with the Silva siblings, Cedric wrapped an arm around Noelle's waist and walked away.
"My little princess, do you want to become queen?"
"Queen?" Noelle looked confused.
Elsewhere, inside the royal palace, the king slept peacefully, completely unaware of the chaos.
The door was suddenly blasted open.
"All royals must die."
Langris stepped forward, activating Spatial Magic.
The guards were instantly torn apart.
He approached the king, pulling back the covers.
A foul smell filled the air.
"Disgusting. Die."
Space distorted.
The king vanished completely.
Inside the floating fortress, Patri arrived, glowing with golden light.
"You're here."
Marie tugged on Gauche's sleeve. "Brother, that's not Licht."
Gauche frowned. "Patri... you really do look exactly like him."
"This is my true form after reincarnation," Patri replied calmly.
A portal opened as Lira appeared.
"So everyone's gathered."
"How is Licht?" Patri asked.
"He's asleep again. His memories haven't returned yet."
Patri looked toward the capital.
"The cleansing is nearly complete. The king is dead. It's time to activate the magic tied to the kingdom."
In a nearby chamber, Fana opened her eyes.
She looked down.
"...Where are my clothes?"
She quickly covered herself, crouching in embarrassment.
Above the royal capital, ten elves radiated golden light.
Licht stood among them, expressionless.
"Don't worry. He's still inside. Once the reincarnation is complete, he will awaken," Patri said.
"Now, let us begin."
"Let us open the gate connecting the Clover Kingdom to the underworld."
A massive purple magic circle formed in the sky.
"You go ahead. We'll handle things here."
Drowa pulled Eclat close. "Let's play a game. Find them all."
Eclat's reflection spread across countless mirrors.
Anyone who met her gaze froze in place.
"It's time to come back, Gauche."
Cedric suddenly appeared behind him and stabbed his kidney without hesitation.
Picking up Marie, Cedric smiled. "Cute as ever. My boy Asta has good taste."
"Let go of me, human," Eclat snapped.
Her magic activated, but it failed.
Those crimson eyes in front of her crushed her will to fight.
"Go to sleep."
After finishing, Cedric kicked Gauche awake and returned Marie to him.
Without hesitation, he stepped into the purple magic space.
"Let's see what the Shadow Palace really holds."
"Wait for me, Brother Cedric!"
Asta, in Black Form, rushed in after him.
"I'm coming too!" Yuno followed, riding the wind spirit.
Back on the ground, the Black Bulls regrouped.
"Gauche, you're alright!"
Grey rushed forward and hugged him tightly.
"Too close," Gauche muttered.
Grey immediately pulled back, blushing heavily.
"Alright, time to recover."
Charmy summoned her Sheep Cook.
Delicious dishes appeared instantly.
"Eat up. Dinner's ready."
