Unfazed, Lisabeth made a happy expression at Cain’s return.
And then, there was Telestia’s trio, who were speechless upon seeing her.
“C-Cain-sama… d-don’t tell me, another woman…”
Simultaneously with Telestia’s words, the trio sent cold gazes towards Cain.
“No, this is… Ah, Silk! Silk, you know who she is, don’t you…?”
Silk looked a little troubled, then made a surprised expression when she looked at the girl’s face.
“Cain-kun, i-is this girl… by any chance… from back then…?”
Cain nodded.
“Hey, Silk. It’s not fair that only you two know! Please tell me too!”
“I would also like to know…”
Cain gave up and sighed loudly when the two of them started pestering Silk.
“I’ll tell you, so calm down. Lisabeth, could you sit down as well, please.”
“Hm…? What is it? All right.”
Lisabeth sat down next to Cain, and not seeming to really care about the other three, took some of the sweets on the table.
“The sweets in this mansion are as delicious as always.”
Giving a sidewards glance at Lisabeth, who was eating the sweets with a smile on her face, Cain started speaking.
“Actually, it would probably be quickest if you just saw this…”
Cain took out a mask from his Item Box and placed it on the table.
“…What’s this…? I feel like I’ve seen it before somewhere… Ah! Don’t tell me…”
“Don’t tell me, from back then…?”
Telestia and Liltana seemed to have guessed.
“Yes yes, it’s the mask of that mysterious person who appeared in the arena back in Ilstin!”
Silk laughed, amused.
“So then, the woman sitting next to him is…”
“Yeah, that’s right. Lisabeth, could you please show them what you look like for a second?”
“I guess I have no choice. It seems that you trust these three, Cain…”
Lisabeth nodded at Cain’s words and muttered a spell.
At that moment, she started glowing, and her previous appearance with five horns returned.
“So she is the demon from back then after all…”
Having found out Lisabeth’s true identity, Telestia and Liltana became a little nervous.
Cain had a number of acquaintances among the demons, so he had no prejudice against them at all.
However, the rest of the world thought differently.
Every single demon had an incredible amount of magical power, and it was said that a single one could destroy a city alone.
“You do not have to be so vigilant. I am not particularly hostile toward humans. Especially since Cain is my friend.”
Laughing, Lisabeth once again chanted her magic, and started eating sweets again as her form indiscernible from a human’s returned.
“Cain-sama, could you please tell us why you saved her…?”
Telestia asked after taking a deep breath.
“I have a few acquaintances among the demons, so originally, I flew into the arena just due to feelings of wanting to save her. But then––”
Cain explained that he had protected Lisabeth and brought her to Drintor.
“Then, and although I only found this out later, it seems like Lisabeth is the Imperial Princess of the country of demons…”
Telestia and the other two’s expressions suddenly became grim at those words.
“…Don’t tell me, if that adventurer had seriously wounded Lisabeth-san back then…”
“Yeah, it would probably –– have led to an all-out war between humans and demons.”
The three of them gulped at Cain’s words.
Humans versus non-humans. Demons versus humans. It was easy to imagine what huge chaos would occur in all the countries if large numbers of demons, one of whom alone could destroy a city, were sent in.
The Republic of Ilstin, which had started it all, and its neighbouring countries would all likely be attacked.
Cain had acted on the spur of the moment, but as a result of his actions, war had been avoided.
“All right. Then, as a member of the royal family of Esfort, I will have Lisabeth-sama officially protected in the royal castle.”
Declared Telestia, standing up and grasping Lisabeth’s hand strongly.
“Yes? I do not plan on moving from here though? This is Cain’s residence, is it not… But before that, you are royalty as well?”
The three of them realized they hadn’t introduced themselves yet as Lisabeth tilted her head.
“We haven’t introduced ourselves yet, have we. I am Telestia Tera Esfort, the third princess of the Kingdom of Esfort, Cain-sama’s country. I am also Cain-sama’s fiancée.”
“I’m next. I am Silk von Santana, a duke’s daughter from the same nation. I am also Cain-kun’s fiancée.”
“Umm… I’m Liltana van Baisas, the sixth Imperial Princess of the neighbouring Baisas Empire. As for my relation to Cain-sama…”
Telestia had emphasised the word ‘fiancée’, and Silk had also smiled along. Then, Liltana had introduced herself, slightly nervous.
At that self-introduction, Lisabeth seemed to have been convinced of something, and, giving Cain a sideways glance, smiled.
“It seems like you three really like Cain. And two of you are even his fiancées. Then, I shall also introduce myself.”
Lisabeth stood up and cleared her throat.
“I am the imperial princess of the ‘Benestos Demon Empire’, Lisabeth van Benestos. I went on a journey around the world to learn, but… Various things happened, I became a slave, and then Cain saved me, which is how I arrived here.”
Having introduced herself, she sat back down and reached for the sweets again.
“I’m planning on sending her back to her country after she’s rested a little here.”
“Indeed, although I would like to take Cain as my partner… However, I have my own duties to fulfil, so I must return eventually.”
However, the other three didn’t miss that one word.
“Cain-sama… don’t tell me you’re intending on increasing the number of your fiancées again…?”
“Cain-kun, this really is a little… It’ll turn into an international problem.”
“––One day, I too…”
Cain reflexively smiled bitterly at the three’s words.
Lisabeth was indeed a beautiful girl, but she was a demon and an imperial princess. There was no way she would be able to marry a human nobleman even if he wanted it. Moreover, Cain already had three, no, counting the Saint, four fiancées.
Cain frantically explained to the three, trying to convince them.
Cain was liberated when Koran came to call him to advise with the meal preparations again, making him finally able to stop having to explain.
And, as he had frantically explained, Lisabeth had just innocently eaten sweets next to him.
