Lynette Igraine was the First Princess of the Holy Kingdom, yet she was unable to properly wield her holy power.
Instead of relying on a practically useless ability, she decided she would win her mother’s approval by finding a long-lost holy relic.
To do that, she entered into a contract engagement with the Empire’s most renowned demonic beast slayer, Duke Dervel Chrysian, and moved into his household.
But the moment they returned to the Empire, Dervel immediately set out on another demonic beast slaying expedition—leaving Lynette all alone.
“Well, that works out for me. I’ll use this chance to scour the entire Duchy.”
But instead of finding the relic, all her rummaging managed to accomplish was lining the Dukedom’s coffers.
It was then that Dervel returned from his hunt, and she found herself not only relic-less, but facing demonic beasts.
In the most perfectly ill-timed moment possible, Lynette found herself saved from certain death by Dervel—and a fire-breathing piglet. Having thoroughly braced for an intense face-off with him… she was caught off-guard.
“My holy powers were never strong to begin with. Honestly, it’s so weak I’m embarrassed to call myself royal blood.”
“Right. Because summoning a thousand rabbits is such a sign of weakness.”
“Would you please stop interrupting me, Dervel?”
Why won’t this man give me a break?
“Do you emit some kind of pheromone that attracts demonic beasts? Why do they always aim straight for you?”
“What can I say? They’re attracted to me. Don’t worry, Dervel, I won’t cause you any problems.”
“……”
Why is he making that face? Did I say something wrong?
I had taught myself summoning, and even discovered a mana-stone mine…
But all I want is to live in peace with my self-proclaimed knight, a mouse named Sir Gregorian, and my piglet Francois.
“What about me?”
Why does this man keep inserting himself into everything?
“Please, just stay where I can see you. I fear I might lose my mind if I lose sight of you.”
…I have no idea what’s going on anymore.
My life’s dead and gone anyways,
so I’ll just do what I want, however I want.
