The door was not locked, just slightly ajar, and Tiran easily pushed it open.

The room where the magic communication device was placed was located at the corner of the floor. The walls on both sides were thick and solid, with only one small window on one side. The broken glass allowed the sunlight to slant in.

"Your Highness..." a faint voice came from the center of the room, where the heavy magic machinery was located.

Tiran's face turned pale, and he quickly bypassed the magic communication device and came to the corner of the wall, where he found Mimi leaning against the wall.

"Oh my... how did you get such serious injuries?" Aya also walked over after gently placing Angel on the sofa, unable to help but ask in a low voice when she saw the head maid.

She had never seen Mimi injured like this before. The black and white maid uniform was almost completely soaked in blood. A deep wound on her right shoulder revealed the bone inside. The cherry blossom-colored hair was soaked in blood and stuck to her forehead. She clenched her teeth and bit her lower lip, trying hard to endure the pain.

If it weren't for the fact that Demon's body was different from humans and could control the flow of blood, Mimi might have already died from excessive blood loss.

After confirming that it was Tiran, the head maid seemed relieved and smiled. The tension in her nerves, which had been forcibly tightened, relaxed, and she fell into a deep sleep.

"Aya." Tiran carefully helped Mimi sit up, nodding at Aya.

A faint blue light appeared on Aya's right hand as she cast a healing spell that slowly covered Mimi's wounds. The terrifying scars immediately began to heal, and the head maid's furrowed brow finally relaxed.

"This should be fine now." After the wound stopped bleeding, Aya stopped the healing spell. "You just need to rest for a while to recover... probably."

"Can you give a more reliable answer?" Tiran, ignoring the blood on Mimi, directly lifted the head maid up and rolled his eyes at Aya.

"It's already good enough like this. I haven't used healing spells much before..." Aya defended herself.

If they had encountered a strong enemy, Justice would definitely not let Mimi face it alone. As expected, they found a butler who was also seriously injured not far away in the corridor.

Justice's abdomen was pierced by a spear-like object, but fortunately, the wound was not large and the bleeding was easily stopped. However, he was pinned to the ground by the spear and couldn't move.

They didn't have the conditions to perform surgery before the reinforcements arrived, but it was difficult to confirm whether Justice could hold on until the doctor arrived in his current state. So Aya and Tiran had no choice but to use the simplest and most brutal method: hold down the butler and pull out the spear, then let Aya use an advanced healing spell to stop the bleeding and heal the wound.

Doing such a thing without anesthesia was undoubtedly painful. When Tiran pulled out the spear, he clearly felt Justice's muscles spasming uncontrollably, but the butler didn't make a sound. After Aya healed the wound, Justice fell into a coma, completely exhausted.

After settling the two in a room that hadn't been destroyed, the cavalry sent by Robert finally arrived around dusk. They quickly found the injured and unconscious guards in the ruined castle. However, these ordinary guards didn't suffer serious injuries. Most of them were just knocked unconscious by the strong impact and had no major issues after simple bandaging.

...

Mimi suddenly opened her eyes, but then squinted because her pupils couldn't adapt to the sudden brightness.

Her memories before losing consciousness were a bit blurry. She vaguely remembered barely moving to the communication device and sending a distress signal. After that, she spent a period of time in a state of almost fainting from the pain... and finally seemed to have seen His Highness?

She sat up, lifting the blanket, and noticed her surroundings. Judging from the evening glow on the horizon outside the window, it was already dusk. The decoration style around her indicated that she was in a room in the castle. She was lying on a soft bed, and her bloodstains had been washed away. She had also changed into a set of pajamas. The person who put her on the bed seemed to have thoughtfully tucked her in to keep her warm.

Such meticulous actions, along with the familiar and comforting scent lingering in the air, combined with the figure she saw before losing consciousness... Was it really His Highness Tiran? The head maid hugged the blanket tightly, holding it against her face, imagining happily.

Click.

The brass lock on the door turned lightly, and the wooden door was pushed open.

At this moment, when she came to visit herself... Mimi raised her head in surprise and looked towards the door.

"Your Highness Tiran... why is it you?" The tone of the maid suddenly went from eager to disappointed, falling into an icy abyss.

"What do you mean, why is it me! And that disappointed expression... what exactly were you expecting!" Aya, who was sent by the princess to check if Mimi had woken up, felt hurt. After all, I saved you, is this the attitude you have?

"Let's not talk about that for now," seeing this stupid dragon, and then looking down at the pajamas on her body, Mimi's face suddenly turned ugly, "Who changed my clothes?"

"Of course it was me." Aya showed a perfect smile, thumbs up, and after a moment, she realized that something was not right with the atmosphere, "Huh? Mimi, why is your hair floating? Hey hey, don't move, your injuries haven't healed yet! Why are you glaring at me? Why are your eyes red - help!"

Not long after, Tiran was attracted by the noisy sound in the room and pushed the door open with some annoyance, "Aya, can't you be quiet? Mimi is still resting..."

However, before she could finish the second half of her sentence, the princess was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Her little sister, Mimi, was lying on the bed, her head resting firmly on the maid's towering chest - but now Aya had no intention of enjoying that soft and beautiful feeling.

Nonsense, who would care about that when they were about to be strangled!

Tiran's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Could this be the legendary self-defense technique, the Wrist Cross Lock?

It took a full ten minutes of patting her head, soothing her knees, and stroking her fur before Tiran finally convinced Mimi that Aya was just joking, and her little sister was finally saved from death.

"Don't make jokes like that!" Mimi glared at Aya with some resentment, and the maid let out a sigh of relief.

"Who would have thought that you couldn't even take a joke." Aya expressed helplessness.

"Except for Your Highness, I will never reveal my body in front of anyone!" Mimi said firmly.

She really is an extraordinary princess control... If some unlucky guy really caught a glimpse of Miss Mimi's figure, they would probably be hunted down to death, right?

"Cough cough." Tiran cleared her throat, her face slightly red, "Let's not talk about that. Mimi, as long as you're okay."

Then Tiran's expression became serious, "What happened in the castle last night? Why did it turn out like this?"

Tiran was angry now. She came openly and injured the people around her. Even if this happened to an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to tolerate it, let alone a powerful princess and a skilled White Knight.

That's right, the royal castle was attacked, and that was the most important thing at the moment. Although Robert sent cavalry to investigate, in reality, they made no progress in assisting the injured without the castle's magic surveillance system and no clues provided by anyone.

At the moment, the other guards, including Justice, were all unconscious, and they could only hope to get valuable clues from Mimi.

Mimi's expression slightly froze, her hands slowly clenched the bedsheet that supported her body, and then a complex expression of guilt and pain appeared on her face.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, it was my negligence. I didn't protect Your Highness's home."

...

The time went back to last night.

"What is that thing?!"

Justice, who came with a sword to support, was pressed down by Mimi, who ran back towards the castle, against the solid wall. Before she could raise her head, the glass window above her head was shattered by the shockwave.

After the shockwave passed, the two of them bent down and peeked out from behind the wall.

Almost all the guards in the castle had gathered to stop the advancing enemy, but these elite soldiers appeared weak and powerless against that guy.

It was a black metal giant nearly ten meters tall, covered in armor as strong as a knight's heavy plate, with magic circuits glowing all over its body. The cannons on its shoulders were covered in white in the snow, and the flowing cold light from the muzzle was intimidating.

Facing the siege of the guards, the tracks on the giant's shoulders automatically activated, and the shells slid into the barrel and were fired.

With a roar, the same intense shockwave spread, directly knocking out the guards attacking it, causing them to faint on the ground.

"I said, I'm just here to retrieve my personal belongings, not to harm anyone."

Stepping over the fallen guard, the voice of the intruder echoed from the amplifier on the metal giant's chest, "If you're not willing to hand it over, I'll have to use force."

In the next moment, the metal giant's ribs suddenly opened, revealing a hive-like launcher underneath the armor. Powered by magic, it shot out a barrage of metal spears, instantly riddling the castle walls with holes!

...

"Metal giant? Gundam? Evangelion? Frank's?" Tiran's face was filled with disbelief. Although he had already noticed that the art style of this world was off, wasn't it still a fantasy world overall? How did it suddenly turn into science fiction?!

"Wait, there's one thing I'm curious about." Aya caught onto a key point in Mimi's words, "That guy mentioned his personal belongings? What's the deal with that? Did you steal something from him, Tiran?"

"Are you itching for trouble again?" Tiran stared at Aya speechlessly, "I don't remember knowing anyone who can summon mechs."

"Then what is his personal belonging?" Aya made it clear that she didn't believe it.

Mimi lowered her head, looking even more dejected, "He... took away Chirp."

"What? Chirp... Chirp?!" Both master and servant reacted at the same time.

Damn it, they had a feeling they forgot something. Chirp was still left in the castle! Aya and Tiran frantically wanted to bang their heads against the wall.

"And... what did that jerk say? Personal belongings? Haha, hahaha, he said Chirp is his personal belonging? Is he tired of living or what?!"

The princess let out a chilling laugh, while Aya stood up silently, preparing to find a suitable weapon to chop someone. Their opinions had probably never been so unified before.

No need for a trial after catching that guy, just chop him to death without explanation.
