The sudden commotion not only snapped Shane, who had been listening to Vivian’s words, back to his senses but also caused Lu Muya and Merica to startle in astonishment.
“So… so many people…!”
“Why are there so many people?”
Lu Muya and Merica voiced their surprise.
Before their eyes, on Lake Heart Island, in front of the Royal Palace’s castle, a vast multitude of people had gathered, creating a tumultuous buzz that rose and fell.
The crowd consisted of the very civilians, adventurers, and even nobles they had been able to see all along, with numbers so large they could only be described as an ocean of people, so dense that all one could see was a swarming mass of heads.
The number of people was, at the very least, enough to be measured in the tens of thousands.
Although Shane stood quite far back, he could still feel the heat emanating from the sea of people ahead, and it didn’t take much to understand just how many must have been there to create such a scene.
These people seemed as if they were anticipating something, whispering among themselves while repeatedly casting their gazes towards an open-air platform above the Royal City, like fervent fans waiting for their idol to appear on stage, their eyes and expressions filled with an excited frenzy.
If it weren’t for the Knight Order maintaining order, surely with the crowd’s excitement and such a large number of people, chaos would have been inevitable, right?
Shane was already gaping at the sight, and Lu Muya and Merica had seen no better; only Vivian and Tielle continued their conversation, unaffected.
“It’s been a while since I’ve come back, has the number of people increased again?”
“…That Princess, just how far does she plan to spread her charm before she’s satisfied?”
“Well, she probably didn’t set out to expand it deliberately, right?”
“That’s why she’s referred to as the woman even Goddesses would envy.”
Vivian and Tielle engaged in such a conversation, the implications of which were truly terrifying upon closer thought.
But, to the two of them, this seemed to be a relatively normal occurrence.
“You all better watch closely,” Vivian even said to everyone: “The one about to make an appearance is the most precious and dazzling woman of the Human Race.”
As Vivian spoke these words, a huge disturbance arose amidst the sea of people ahead.
Because, on the Royal City’s open-air platform, a figure had finally made a belated entrance, leisurely walking out.
Shane had to admit that everything that followed left an extremely deep impression in his life, one that was hard to forget.
At this point, Shane, who was still oblivious to it all, did not look up but sensed an astonishing Magic Power first.
That Magic Power was like a blazing sun, both majestic and dazzling, and also so vast it was difficult to imagine.
It made the Magic Power of the likes of Beddo and Killian seem completely incomparable.
Even Laischa seemed pale in comparison, less by who knows how much.
This made Shane feel as though he had finally met his match since coming to this world.
This Magic Power was not any weaker than Shane’s own.
At that moment, Shane raised his head and looked towards the Royal City’s open-air platform.
There, a Princess appeared before the railing, as if she were cooling off on her own balcony, overlooking the crowd below.
Shane got a clear view of the Princess’ full appearance.
She was dressed in a unique courtly attire, somewhat resembling the style of Hanfu from his previous life, not too ornate but ethereal and full of a fairy-like aura.
However, even this unique courtly attire seemed unworthy of her.
The reason was that the Princess’ appearance was simply too outstanding.
Her skin was as pearly and smooth as a pearl.
Her figure was exquisite, filled with an extraordinary charm.
Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, slightly curled at the ends, swaying in the wind, creating wave after pleasing wave.
And her features were so perfectly delicate, they didn’t belong to this mortal world, exuding a beauty that was soul-stirring.
Shane couldn’t help but be somewhat stunned.
The entire crowd also fell into a moment of silence.
The appearance of the young girl tremendously shook everyone’s hearts, leaving both those who had seen her before and those who had not speechless and utterly enchanted.
Immediately after, an earth-shattering cheer erupted from this patch of sky and earth.
Lu Muya and Merica couldn’t help but be startled by this sudden and amazing cheer.
Shane was also forced to snap back to reality, but his eyes were still filled with astonishment as he looked at the princess.
“Isn’t she just too much?”
To elicit such a comment from Shane, one could imagine just how beautiful the other party must be.
At least, the last time Shane was involuntarily enraptured by a woman was when he first saw Nien.
In other words, the other party possessed a beauty that could rival Nien’s, which could be described as perfect.
The difference was that Nien’s beauty was filled with a sense of fantasy and artistry, while this princess’s beauty seemed to gather all the worldly definitions of “beauty” in people’s hearts, one as an ethereal and lofty presence, the other shining like a star.
To make things even more exaggerated, neither of these two were merely beautiful faces.
As a Goddess, Nien had the power to resurrect Shane and awaken his Holy Sword and his Unique Skill, her strength already evident.
As for this princess before him, Shane had seen through her Level with his [Identification] Skill.
This princess, who was only seventeen years old and the same age as Lu Muya, had actually broken through to Level 70.
Even more so, Shane could see a series of high-level Skills in her skill set, including a Level 8 [Two-Handed Sword] Skill and a Level 7 [Magical Sword] Skill.
With such strength, even Beddo, who was Level 84, would probably not be her match, right?
All those present were cheering and excitedly shouting for the princess, with the sons of the Nobles looking at her with infatuated eyes, barely restraining themselves from pouncing on her.
At this moment, Vivian’s voice also entered Shane’s ears.
“That is the treasure of the Kingdom, the Kingdom’s second Princess, possessing a beauty that even Goddesses would envy and a talent comparable to Heroes —— Luosilusti Mitra.”
————「Luosilusti Mitra」.
This name was etched unconsciously into Shane’s memory, embedding itself deep within his heart.
She was also gazing down, her expression serene as a still well, but her eyes were filled with a bright liveliness, and her face revealed an extraordinary elegance and calm, intensifying the breathtaking beauty she possessed.
After a while, the princess turned and went back into the Royal Palace.
All those present did not feel regretful, but were still excited and ecstatic, with the cheering lasting for a long time.
Shane quietly watched her retreating figure, wondering what he was thinking about.
But then, Shane caught a glimpse of something at her waist.
A sword that looked unremarkable, without any particular outstanding features.
But it was this sword that made Shane’s pupils suddenly shrink.
[Holy Sword (Sealed)]

· All negative states are mitigated to a certain extent.
· Limited to the owner, cannot be discarded, cannot be destroyed.
When such an Identification message appeared, Shane truly lost his words.
“What on earth is going on?”
Shane muttered to himself in a low voice, hidden by the cheers that still had not stopped, unheard by anyone.
