[At the demon kingdom castle]

[Female paladin point of view]

After confirming and memorizing the list of the orphans in the demon kingdom one last time, I take my telephone to call Princess Diana. I hope she isn't busy. I do wanted some of the orphans from the demon kingdom to receive their education in Estel, that way they can broaden up their view.

While the old follower wanted you to believe that the demon and beast kingdom are uncivilized, they're anything but far from it, in fact, as someone who once step foot into the holy palace, I can confirm that the two countries are more civilized than the holy palace. Still, even here and in the beastman kingdom, the opportunity for commoner to receive formal education are hard to come by, and the reason is, poverty. They live to work and work to live, and there's no time for anything else, even if that means to improve their quality of life.

While it's better here as compared to other countries since the noble and merchants are taking apprenticeship from the commoner to lift their status up, it's far from satisfying which is why

"I see. Still, I would love to receive them, just not in the nearest time as..." [Diana]

Serial killer dwarf and the true beastman group are in Estel!

"Understood. Do you need any help from our country?" [Female paladin]

"I can assure you everything is still under control, but I do appreciate the thought" [Diana]

"Right. Please take care" [Female paladin]

"Back to you" [Diana]

That's worrisome... Still, this is Princess Diana, so I'm sure everything will be fine. Regarding the plan to send some of the orphans to Estel, maybe I have to set back the date. Initially, I thought of sending them there two months from now, but pushing it a little bit further would be a wiser choice. I should discuss this with King Druser and

"Good timing, how goes your date with King Druser?" [Female paladin]

"His highness doesn't even know it was a date" [Lilith maid]

"Sad as it sounds, it's the truth. Still, do you need something?" [Demon Duchess]

"It's regarding the orphanage" [Female paladin]

[Diana point of view]

She seems rather well adjusted to her current job. I'm glad I asked her to take the mantle from Mrs Aries as the paladin of the demon kingdom, but that also means I lost one of many gems in Estel. Rather sad, but the sadness inside of me for losing her is quickly overshadowed by the fact that she's doing well, helping to bridge the relationship between Estel and Demon kingdom

"You seems happy. I must say, I did not expect for her to be this quickly adjusted to her job" [Qis]

"Budding talent I suppose. I'm glad about it though" [Diana]

"With that out of the way, shall we?" [Qis]

"By all means. Is the Valkyrie there already?" [Diana]

"Bladel already have it covered" [Qis]

"And Mrs Aries?" [Diana]

"She should be in the orphanage, guarding them from any sort of danger with Mahsuri" [Qis]

"Right. Let us go" [Diana]

"Yes!" [Qis]

Just like how back during the orphanage crisis, where the old follower and the duchess attacked the orphanage followed by kidnapping Savel, Charlotte and Cupid, which make all of us gather around to save them. Just like back then during my debutante party where all of us together ward off Motra's plan as well as "defeating" the Holy Beast of Earth, Tyrant steel ant, Drant, this time around, we will gather to beat and capture two separate and yet closely related targets, the serial killer dwarf as well as the true beastman group

After analysing the "generous gift" from the serial killer dwarf regarding the current location of true beastman group, I came up with the plan to lure them and capture all of them, including the serial killer dwarf in one go.

"We have arrive" [Qis]

"Thank you" [Diana]

As expected, they're all here. I'm glad. I'm truly glad from the very bottom of my heart. I'm glad as a ruler, that I have been blessed with such wonderful people, that will follow me both in easy time as well as through hardship. Those that can treat me as their equal and also treat me as their leader when the time comes. Those that will look at each other, giving and receiving equally. Those that will put their trust not only on themselves, but also to others as well as trusting their very own life on my hand as I guide them. As a princess, I am really blessed by their presence, truly, it's a gift from Goddess Achalasia herself

"Princess!" [Lisa]

(Feeling emotional isn't she...) [Alice]

(I can't deny it. For her to keep reminded of how truly blessed she was when seeing us, not many ruler can feel that way) [Gizzere]

"I'm fine. Sorry for the delay. Everyone, will you please listen to what I have to say" [Diana]

"Absolutely" [Hunter adventure]

"If it's you, then there's no problems!" [Female elf adventure]

"I just love this atmosphere" [Guard A]

"Indeed. Hardship await us and yet, we are strangely calm and motivated" [Jacks]

"Guess the princess presence makes that possible" [Borg]

(Princess Diana... She's something else don't you agree) [Anjin]

(Indeed) [Kucin]

(As a citizen of Malsia, I'm just glad my princess is on a good term with her) [Naoto]

"Alright! Quite down! Just listen to her" [Ram]

"Right!" [All]

"Once again, sorry for the delay, and sorry for the teary eyes just now. Right now, our objectives are capturing of the serial killer dwarf as well as the true beastman group. I'll go with the beastman group first. They're currently scattered across the country, but we manage to pinpoint their location. With all of you here, we will divide ourselves into 3 major groups. One group with the largest number of peoples will work on capturing the remaining true beastman group, while the second group will focus on locating and capturing the serial killer dwarf. The last group will remain vigilant, making the round at a predetermined route and your job will be supporting the two previous group whenever needed, but don't think it's an easy job, you will be tasked on helping to capture the dark lion Simba as well as the serial killer dwarf, presumably at the same time" [Diana]

"At the same time!" [All]

"The serial killer dwarf, I got this feeling that said

..." [Diana]

~Monstrous Roar~

What was that! What is with the deafening roar, and

"FIRE! FIRE!

"Help! There are monster everywhere!"

"My child! Some tiger beastman inject something into him and he turn into a monster!"

Just what's happening!

"Princess!" [Swordman adventure]

"Calm down! This must be the work of the true beastman group. Looks like they're growing rather inpatient! Like I said, quickly divide yourself into three groups and go to your predetermined area! I'm sure the monster are just the beastman in hiding turning into one, so the plans I made is still viable!" [Diana]

"You heard her highness! Everybody, I give you two minutes to form a group!" [Ram]

"YES!" [All]
