Chapter 5: Grandest Birthday!

  After marrying Amei, most assumed that Rien calmed down from it. She no longer attempted to take over kingdoms, or damage other empires.

  Of course, this wasn’t truly the case at all. Alisa was the true ruler of Felta. Those acts simply stopped… as Celia rapidly sped up Alisa’s plan, allowing her to become a Higher Being so early.

  Celia: “So…” She said with an awkward tone.

  Carma: “Celia, do you like my designs?” She asked with grand excitement.

  Now being an empire, Reri’s capital was huge. Endless streams of people came here for commerce, travel, or for a new start. Castle Reri was the most… luxurious.

  Despite having good relations with Felta, Orichalcum was still a resource which only the richest could obtain. At most, they could save up for their entire life… just to exchange their wealth for one Orichalcum coin.

  Celia: “Carma, are you looking to take over this world?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.

  Carma: “In time, yes. The other Goddesses have no desire to rule, but I do.” She nonchalantly admitted.

  Celia: “…Then, is this a show of your wealth and power?” She added with a thinking pose.

  The drink ware, plates, or anything that would typically be made of metal… were Orichalcum in this venue. On top of that, those attending, which were nobles of this empire, Felta’s empire, and from all around the world, had been gifted various Orichalcum items.

  Carma: “Hm? I wouldn’t abuse your special event, becoming an adult, for such easy tasks. No, I simply want to make these people remember how important you’re to me, and get them to never forget this day my sister became a woman.” She explained with a coaxing tone and expression.

  Trumpets!

  Maid: “Presenting Empress Rien of Felta, and Queen Amei of Lien! And… for the first time in public, the reveal of their daughter!” She loudly informed via Magic.

  Celia: “( ? _ ? )”

  Those here all shared the same reaction as Celia. Only Carma knew of Rien being invited, leaving even the actual ruler, Mein, out of the loop.

  With them arriving here, both smiling brightly… changed the world. Until now, Felta seemed to ignore Reri’s antics, engaging in trade with the newly formed empire, but never meeting or having diplomatic talks with each other.

  Celia: “…”

  Alisa: “Hm… you’ve grown quite beautiful, Princess Celia.” She praised with a wide smile.

  Rien: “???”

  Amei: “???”

  As honored guests, they, of course, had to go and meet the royals. The three greeted Mein, then the princesses. With great effort, Alisa managed to conceal her identity from Celia and her group up until this special occasion.

  Celia: “Alisa… you’re the heir to Felta?” She asked with extreme confusion. “And why is she acting like we didn’t meet just a few days prior?!” She thought with a groan.

  Alisa: “Well, it is a small gift from me. Mother is very apologetic for the… assassination attempt. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive her.” She pleaded with a laugh, grabbing onto one of Celia’s hands, and then putting it on her cheek.

  Rien, Amei, And Everyone else: “??????”
