The Nuclear Sword Fairy from a certain cartoon

No matter how you say it, she is your only relative. Although she is a niece, to Paul Brantry, she is no different from your daughter.

However, Shirou didn't care too much about this at the moment. Even though he knew that these two knights admired him, after all, he had just come out of the 'realm of life and immortality', so he should talk about it later.

Chapter 40 You understand people’s hearts

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Shirou faced the eyes of Erica and Liliana, smiled and said to them.

"Princess Alice should be waiting for us at the [Sage Council]. Let's go and take a look first."

Alice Louise Ove Nafal as [Greene

The former speaker of the Council of Wise Men is now only a special advisor, so her place of residence is not in the Council of Wise Men.

As the daughter of Duke Godding, she naturally lives in a villa in a wealthy area.

Shirou, Erica and Liliana soon arrived at the door of a villa.

It is more like a huge palace-like building than a villa. It is much larger than the surrounding villas. It is very similar to the castle where the princess lives in the story, but it is smaller in scale.

When Shirou was about to walk into the front hall, he was suddenly stopped by the knights guarding him on both sides.

"Sorry, sir. Do you have an appointment?"

There were no snobbish watchdogs like in bad novels who would bite the protagonist whenever they saw them. These two guards were not only well-dressed, but also spoke in a very polite tone.

If these two people knew what kind of existence they were facing at this moment, they probably wouldn't be able to maintain this attitude.

The two guards had no idea how dangerous their action of stopping Shirou was, but Erica and Liliana were so nervous that they broke into cold sweats.

Erica swallowed subconsciously, and then quickly looked at the two guards.

"We were invited by Princess Alice."

Upon hearing the title Princess Alice, the expressions of the two guards suddenly became respectful, and then they quickly bowed to Shirou and the others.

"I'm really sorry. Please forgive us for being abrupt. Please come in."

After the two got out of the way, Shirou didn't pay much attention. He had no interest in arguing with the two knights, not to mention they were two characters who knew etiquette.

Stepping into the front hall, Erica and Liliana, who were following Shirou, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Erica patted her chest gently to calm down her nervous mood.

"It seems that Princess Alice has already said hello."

[-]

Liliana also nodded.

"Yes, otherwise they wouldn't let us in so easily."

After all, it is a Duke's mansion, so it is impossible to let him go just because he knows Princess Alice. It seems that Princess Alice has already greeted the servants in advance.

As expected, the rest of the journey was smooth, and the three of them walked through the flower garden and into the building.

When he came to the door, a woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses blocked the way.

The woman is dressed luxuriously but elegantly, and her skin is well-maintained. Although she is nearly thirty years old, at first glance she looks like she is in her early twenties. Only if you look carefully will you notice the beauty of her body. This kind of temperament is definitely not something that a woman in her early 20s can express.

"Hello, I am the butler of Duke Godding's family. Princess Alice asked me to come here to greet you."

Hearing this, Shirou couldn't help but smile.

"We're already at the door, what else is there to pick up?"

The woman who claimed to be the housekeeper suddenly showed an apologetic expression and bowed to Shirou. A touch of white paint suddenly caught Shirou's eyes, which was the human heart.

"I'm really sorry, King Orihara, we did plan to go to the airport to greet you before, but while we were waiting there, we suddenly encountered tsunamis, storms and other natural disasters that are difficult for humans to contend with. We really can't continue at the airport. Wait there..."

The housekeeper's answer left Shirou speechless for a moment.

After all, although those natural disasters were not caused by him, they were all related to him.

In a sense, it is an indirect relationship.

If Shirou hadn't fought Zeus, Zeus wouldn't have summoned the other two gods from the myth.

Although in the end, Shirou was served a pot.

Now the three main gods, 'God King' Zeus, 'Poseidon' Poseidon, and 'Pluto' Hades, have all died at the hands of Shirou, and most of the other third-generation gods do not dare to come.

Even if they had grudges against Shirou, they would not come to him openly. After all, after the previous battle, the other gods should know that they could not be Shirou's opponent.

Of course, there was no way to find those gods now, so Shirou naturally didn't want to waste time thinking about these meaningless things.

After thinking a lot, Shirou coughed, then looked at the apologetic housekeeper in front of him and said.

"Yes, I understand... Where is Princess Alice?"

Hearing Shirou's question, the housekeeper quickly stood up straight, and her straight body suddenly highlighted her proud curves. However, Shirou did not appreciate it more. After all, Erica and Liliana were compared with the housekeeper in front of them. It looks much more eye-catching, and the only thing it can't defeat is probably the fullness of people's hearts.

"plz follow me."

The housekeeper replied in a low tone towards Shirou, then led them into the room and then along the stairs to the third floor.

The place where Princess Alice lives is extremely luxurious, and it is also one of the few high-end residential streets in London, Hampstead. It can be said that it is no longer possible to buy such a residence with a courtyard if you have money.

In this place equivalent to a castle,

The room she was in was undoubtedly the most exquisite and luxurious here.

Princess Alice's boudoir is decorated in a simple and elegant way. When you enter this room, you will find that the most eye-catching thing is the princess bed located in the innermost part of the room, which is covered by gauze curtains.

Behind the thin gauze curtain, the face of the girl lying flat on the bed is looming, giving people an endless sense of mystery.

"Is it serious enough?"

Shirou looked at Princess Alice who was still lying on the bed after he entered the room, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this time, Princess Alice behind the gauze curtain spoke apologetically in a weak voice.

"I'm really sorry, King Orihara. You have seen my condition. My physical condition has reached the point where it is difficult to even lift my arms. I really can't get out of bed to greet you..."

Shirou listened to the girl's soft words, stepped to the side of the princess's bed, and then stretched out his hand to lift the thin gauze curtain.

The girl's stunning appearance was immediately revealed in front of Shirou. Even if the body covered under the quilt was just an outline, it could be seen that her current body was very slender and weak.

Her pretty face is a little pale, her lips are even more bloodless, her eyes are slightly lowered as if she is about to fall asleep at any moment, her slender neck is very white, and the sunlight that shines through the curtains looks even whiter, even to the point of abnormality. The skin color is like that of a patient just after surgery.

Chapter 41 Princess’s Gratitude

Looking at Princess Alice like this, Shirou couldn't help but think of the 'ghost body' state he had met before in the mansion room over in Naples. At that time, she was so lively, with a beautiful face and... The perfectly slender body doesn't give people the impression of being sick and weak like it does now.

Shirou observed Princess Alice's body at this moment, and then sighed slightly.

"With your current physical condition, you can live for another ten years at most."

The girl who heard this sentence looked at Shirou with a look of pity, not knowing what she was thinking.

"That kind of thing...what can I do...if that's my ending, maybe it's destined."

Princess Alice bit her lip tightly and slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows.

"I'm just a little unwilling... I obviously don't want this kind of power at all, so why did it come to me."

This is probably the so-called beauty's bad fate.

Shirou sighed softly, and then seeing that the girl was trying to hold up her hands but lacked the strength, he quickly stretched out his hand to help her up and put the pillow behind her.

"Thank you, King Orihara. Originally, it should be the most basic respect from me to see you in this manner. But if you really let me stay, I will end up with a weak body that can't even hold a tea cup. I'm afraid I will make people laugh."

Princess Alice said to Shirou apologetically.

"I'm ashamed to say that I have the ability of a witch to be the most powerful witch in the world. I used my ghost body to go to the underworld to gain enlightenment and knowledge. This is why I became a member of the [Council of Wise Men] at such a young age. Speaker, because a large part of my knowledge comes from visions.”

"And having such a powerful ability has made me a powerful witch at such a young age, but the price I paid is the body I have now."

Shirou looked at Princess Alice at this moment and said to her.

"I do have a way to restore your body, Princess Alice."

Princess Alice's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Shirou's words. For her, this was undoubtedly great news.

However, after a brief moment of ecstasy, she gradually calmed down and then looked at Shirou.

"King Orihara, what can I do for you?"

In her previous meeting with the new "King" in Naples, Princess Alice had already roughly understood the temperament of this "King".

If she didn't know enough about other demon kings, Princess Alice would never have met this "king" so recklessly.

But now it seems that it is too late. Regardless of whether the [Council of Wise People] wants it or not, this organization that spans the world has now been captured by this "King".

This "King" is willing to take action to heal his body, presumably not because of the [Council of Wise Men].

Shirou looked at Princess Alice's expression as she bit her lips, as if she was thinking about something, and he roughly understood what she was thinking.

But he didn't care about this, but was thinking about ways to restore this girl's body.

Soon, Shirou already had the answer in his mind.

————"Avalon (an ideal land far away from the world)".

This scabbard has the ability to heal its owner's injuries and stop its aging. If the power of the scabbard is released, it can even place itself in the Fairy Country, which can block all physical influences, even the five major magics. Out of reach.

Even "EA·Deviation Sword" cannot affect the scabbard after liberation.

All these are enough to illustrate the power of the scabbard "Avalon".

The original "Avalon"

"Utopia of the World" has the limitation that Saber must be present in order to be effective.

But if Shirou uses his own power to create it, he can remove this restriction.

It's a pity that he can't take it out right now.

After all, the "Sword of Oath to Victory" is still being forged.

After weighing it in his heart, Shirou stretched out his hand towards Princess Alice, and bursts of golden divine power surged out, like a layer of golden light covering the girl's body.

"This is?"

Princess Alice felt the divine power pouring into her body, and her eyes widened in surprise, with a look of disbelief on her face.

An unprecedented energy filled her body.

"Amazing……!"

Princess Alice sat up and moved her hands and feet with some curiosity.

The girl only felt that her body, which should have been exhausted by the powerful spiritual power she was born with, was actually full of vitality at this moment.

"This is only temporary. Mortal bodies cannot retain divine power, even the strongest witch."

Shirou continued.

"This magical power can only last for one month. After one month is over, you will return to your previous weak state. When you find clues to the God of Disobedience, come back to me."

"I understand, 'King' Orihara, please wait for the good news."

Feeling the power slowly draining from her body, Princess Alice was eager to complete the task assigned by the "King".

She had been in a weak state before and felt nothing. Now that she experienced the feeling of being able to move freely, Princess Alice never wanted to leave her current state again.

She even greedily hoped that this "King" could often inject divine power into her.

Feeling her energetic body, Princess Alice's eyes were suddenly filled with water mist, and her eyes were slightly red. She quickly supported her body with her hands, and then got out of bed directly, standing like this with her bare white and tender feet. to the ground.

"your Highness!"

The housekeeper standing aside was startled when she saw Princess Alice's actions at this moment. She subconsciously wanted to go forward to help her, but suddenly she saw Princess Alice smiling at her and shaking her head gently. Then she took a step forward. stop.

Her golden hair was spread out. Even though she had been lying in bed for so many years, the girl's shoulder-length hair was as smooth as silk. It must have been that someone had to take care of her every day.

Her jade-like feet lightly stepped on the ground, as if she hadn't experienced this kind of experience for too long. Princess Alice's slender body swayed slightly, but soon stabilized.

Her face was filled with an unprecedented smile, and she walked happily in the room, like an elf jumping among the flowers.

When she was bedridden that day a few years ago, she thought it would be impossible for her to stand up anymore, and that she could see the end of her life at a glance.

But things are unpredictable, and no one knows whether a surprise will suddenly arrive one day.

Her long golden hair was floating, reflecting a charming luster in the sunlight. The girl savored the long-lost feeling of being able to perfectly control her body.

Finally, like a piece of music coming to an end, the girl turned towards Shirou, then raised her clothes with both hands and bowed to Shirou.

"Alice Louise Ove Nafal, see Orihara 'King'."
