At night, in the dark castle, a female figure wrapped in a dark cape can be seen to be running away from the guards.

“Ring the bells!! There is an intruder!!!”

“Hey!! Don’t run!”

Ahhhh, why did the guard come back just as she tried to cross over the wall? They usually like to slack off and play cards inside the tower, why did the night she tried to come in is the night they tried to become a proper guard!?

Moreover, it’s not like she’s trying to do something dangerous, she just didn’t want to go through the main entrance and chose to climb over the wall.

From the looks of it, the guards patrolling this area are still recruits, right?

Well, even if he is, the guard still dutifully came to chase her. After climbing up the city wall, the guard found her and walked closer, demanding for her to show any identification, she showed the guard her royal badge, and yet was still chased by him.

‘It can’t be helped.’ Though the girl helplessly, the people who own the Royal Family Badges would usually go through the front door, being treated with the utmost respect from the guards and nobles alike, there would be no need for them to go over the wall just like what she is doing now, the guard probably thought she stole the Badge from someone else.

In the past, the guards that patrolled the city wall knew a little about her from their superior or from some rumors, so even if she were to be found by them trying to cross over the wall, they would let her go as long as she showed them her badge.

But from the look of it, she’s not as lucky as before this time.

The guard should be a newcomer, so he doesn’t know about the unspoken rules regarding her, but it still doesn’t make her hate him. He has a serious and responsible attitude, something that every member of the royal family appreciates very much.

As soon as the recruit opened his voice and yelled toward the others, a large group of guards began to rush over.

That’s right, the place she’s trying to crossover is the Royal Family mansion.

It’s normal to have a lot of guards sanctioned in every corner of the building..

‘In this case, let’s continue to escape, don’t waste time here.’ Thought the girl.

Just as she was about to bolt away from the incoming guards, she saw several soldiers appear at the turn ahead.

‘One, two, three… five in total.’

‘Hmm…. What’s the name of that Knight Commander? the one with dark skin, the one that Nina fell in love with…. Whatever, mr-nina-future-husband, let’s see the strength of the soldiers working under your banner.’

‘I still have a spare spear, but I don’t really want to use it.’

She wants to try fighting them bare handed, just like how that one lizard girl named Melon did it.

Two guards rushed at the girl, the swords already unsheathed from their belt and were rushing toward her body, and with a quick reflex, the girl twisted her body away from the slash and swiftly backed away.

Noticing their attack missed, the guards continued to press onward, the tip of their sword almost close enough to touch her neck, but unfortunately for them, she was still faster than them.

Before the tip of their blade was able to leave a cut mark on her neck, her fist already stretched out and clashed against the guards face, making the both of them fall into the ground.

‘. . . Damn it, it’s hard to control my strength when I go bare handed. .’

While thinking this way, the girl knocked away an incoming guard’s sword from his hand, took the blade and used the flat side of the blade to knock the guard unconscious.

‘Ah! My habit kicked in!’

‘No, no, I should fight empty-handed.’

With such thought in mind, the girl casually threw the guard sword into the ground.

She turned her head to the side, noticing that the other guards had started to catch up. . . .

“What is happening!?” Among the people who started to show up, there is a voice that is familiar to her ear, her sister’s voice to be exact.

After knocking down the remaining two guards, the female figure turned her head and saw the little girl who was only as tall as her waist rushing towards her.

She has the same silver hair as her, and unlike her, the little girl only wears thin pajamas.

“Heyyo Nina! How is your night?”

Denina Teigitan, still 10 years old, but is very much the cutest sister in the world!

“Ah─ Derisha Onee-sama! Can you walk in like a normal person!? Why do you have to climb over the wall every single time!?”

The guard next to us was confused, they surrounded us and looked at each other in confusion, no one daring to take the first step.

“If I tried to go through the gate, I would need to put on a  dress before coming in, but my  dress has long been… Well, let’s just say, being used for the greater good.”

She sold her dress for some new weapon a while back.

Considering the number of times she needed to use her weapon, it wouldn’t be surprising for her to need a new one in just a few months of use, and due to their high quality, each new purchase leave quite a dent to her not so great income.

“Oooh~ Onee-sama! If Father finds out about this, you will be finished!”

“Hehe~ Probably~ By the way, is the old man here?”

Shit, if the old man finds out about this, she will inevitably be brought to him and be  educated in etiquette all day long.

She hated etiquette education the most, although she still forced herself to learn it, since despite her distaste of the subjects, the things that she learned from it had helped her a lot.

“Father went out, and he won’t come back home until the day after tomorrow.”

“Then I would wait here for a few days, I haven’t seen him for half a year, and I miss that old man a bit, haha.”

“By the way, what about our Deloria? Where is she?”

“Ah, Onee-sama, did you forget? Deloria Onee-sama is already married to the Duke of Lux.”

Ah, yes.

She still has yet to familiarize herself with the news.

20 years old is considered to be the normal age to get married, and since their eldest sister is already 20 years old, it would be normal for her to get married already.

“…Okay, Derisha Onee-sama, you haven’t been back for half a year, can you tell me any interesting adventure stories?”

“Interesting story? Well… let me tell you a story about a lizard girl who slays a dragon with her bare hands!”

“Whoa! That sounds amazing!!”

Speaking of which, she actually has something to do about her coming back to the royal family castle this time.

She had already asked the Adventurer’s Guild about that girl information, but there is no registration record about her, even though she’s obviously a powerful combatant.

Melon is not an adventurer…

She only knows that [$Eyes of the Night Cat$ B Team] has some history with the lizard girl. She wants to ask them for more info about Melon, but it might be too unreasonable for her to visit them directly, and it’s not suitable for us to do so in our capacity.

“Your Highness Second Princess, please don’t use this method to come back next time.”

A guy in a neat suit who looks like a deacon comes. He is their housekeeper, but she forgot his name.

“Ah, old bald man.” Since she forgot his name, it’s best to call him with the thing that first comes to her mind.

“This old man’s name is Sean. Your Highness, please stay back this time…”

“Onee-sama, come to my room quickly.” ignoring Sean, Nina just grabbed her hand and left.

Before being dragged away by her adorable little sister, the second princess turned her head and said to the old bald man.

“Hey, look up some lizard girl named Melon for me. She has rather distinctive red hair. Let me know if you have any information, thanks in advance!”
