In the endless void, on the channel from Mars to the Earth.

A huge man-made object named Yanglu City is sailing along the passage from Mars to the Earth at a seemingly slow speed, but in fact it is extremely fast.

Its destination is the cradle of humankind - the earth.

Kuruteo.

The count of the Mars Weiser Empire is carrying out a major mission.

The importance of this mission will undoubtedly determine the direction of the Visser Empire and the Earth in the next ten years.

Therefore, Count Kurteo, who has always shown himself to be serious, strict, and rigorous, became even more stern when he left Mars and went to the earth. That appearance made the retainers and subordinates who followed him subconsciously tense up.

Nervous, he devoted his whole mind to this task.

"Count Kuruteu. According to the current speed of Yanglu City, we will enter the earth-moon orbit in half a month."

Facing the report from his subordinates, Count Kurteo, who had been keeping a tight face, nodded slowly.

"Well. Let's proceed as planned!"

Count Kurteo pondered for a moment, and then asked again:

"Where is Princess Iseilam? What is this noble highness doing now?"

"Yes! Count Kuruteu. Her Royal Highness Princess Aiseilam is currently conducting knowledge courses on the earth according to her schedule."

Although this was a natural answer, there was still a glimmer of dissatisfaction in Count Kurt'o's eyes.

This gleam of dissatisfaction is not directed at Her Royal Highness Princess Iseilam Visser Eliosya of the Martian Wesser Empire, but to Her Royal Highness, who is an extremely noble princess, who actually goes to learn about the earth in person.

Knowledge.

This made Count Kuruteo, who was already very discriminatory against the people of Earth, extremely dissatisfied.

But Count Kuruteu is loyal.

He is loyal to the royal family of the Visser Empire, to the current emperor of the Visser Empire, and even more loyal to Her Royal Highness Aeseilam Visser Eliosya, the princess of the Martian Visser Empire.

"The time has come! It's time for Her Royal Highness to rest. I'll leave this place to you."

Count Kuruteu turned the cane in his hand and ordered to his retainers.

"As you command! Count Kuruteu."

Kuruteu, who left the Yanglu City bridge, strolled through the Yanglu City that belonged to him, walking step by step towards the place where Princess Aiseilam has always liked to stay since she landed in this Yanglu City -

—A terrace where you can see the scenery outside Yanglu City.

"She is a princess who has lived in the palace for a long time and is fully curious about things in the outside world."

This is the image Earl Kuruteo formed towards Princess Aiseilam during this period of escorting her.

However, this does not mean that Count Kuruteu will despise Princess Aeseiram because of this. On the contrary, Kuruteu believes that this is the essence that a future wise king should possess.

Only a king who is curious about the unknown but yet cautious can lead the empire onto a path that can lead to development and prosperity.

This is Count Kuruteu's future expectations for Her Royal Highness Princess Aeseiram.

The footsteps stopped, and Kuruteu stood in front of an automatic door.

Behind this door, Princess Iseilam should be there, doing the homework she must do every day - staying on the terrace and observing the distance to the earth with the naked eye.

This may be the expression of Her Royal Highness Princess Aiseilam's expectations for her trip to the earth.

"Whoosh!"

The automatic door opens.

Count Kuruteu looked up.

really,

In the middle of the terrace, there were standing a girl with blond hair, wearing a light long skirt, and a slight smile, and another boy wearing a retainer uniform - a boy from Earth.

After Kurt's eyes glanced at the earth boy, he spoke in his usual serious tone:

"So His Highness is here!"

Facing Kurt's gaze, the blond girl smiled slightly and said:

"It's Count Kuruteu. Is something wrong?"

"Yes. It's late at night now! Please go back to your dormitory and rest!"

Kuruteu reminded without hesitation that it was already the rest time for Her Royal Highness Princess Aiseilam.

"Really? Is it already this time? Then, it's time for me to go back and rest."

After saying that, the Martian princess turned and looked at the Earth boy.

"Slayin, that's it for today. We'll see you tomorrow!"

"As you command! Her Royal Highness Princess Aiseilam."

suddenly,

Just when Aiseilam walked to Kuruteu's side, a violent vibration without warning caused Yanglu City to tremble crazily. The unprepared Aiseilam almost fell to the ground.

Fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Kuruteu happened to be standing nearby and helped Aiseilam in time.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

There was a trace of worry on Kurute'o's face, but he was more calm.

"No. I'm fine. Count Kurteo, what happened?"

Aiseiram shook his head and stood firm with the support of Kurut'o.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment."

Kuruteu shook his head, and after comforting Iseiram, he turned his head and looked at a corner of the room, and asked loudly:

"What happened?"

As Kuruteu's voice fell, a faint light also fell from the top of the room, forming a projection screen in mid-air.

This is a direct connection from the bridge of Yanglu City.

"Count Kuruteu, Her Royal Highness Princess Aiseilum. Now our Yanglu City seems to be under an unknown attack!!"

"What? An unknown attack?! How is that possible? The Earth side will never have the power to sail in deep space. Quick! Find out what happened? I'll come to the bridge now!"

The inability to give an answer on the bridge made Kurute's heart a little more dissatisfied.

Regardless of whether it was due to concerns about the safety of Yanglu City or the safety of Iseiram, the earl made the decision to go to the bridge of Yanglu City immediately.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Iseilam. Now I must go to the bridge immediately! Please forgive me for not being able to escort Her Royal Highness back to her room."

"Well! Count Kuruteu, the safety of Yanglu City and everyone else is entrusted to you."

Aiseiram is very sensible.

Although she didn't know what exactly happened, she still expressed her position immediately, letting Kuruteo go and complete what he should complete.

"Yes! His Highness Aiseilam!"

After giving a respectful response to Iseilam, Kuruteu turned his head and stared at Slayin.

"Slayin. From now on, until the end of the matter, the safety of Her Royal Highness Princess Aeseilam will be temporarily your responsibility. If anything goes wrong with Her Royal Highness Princess Aiseilam, you should die to apologize.

!”

"Yes! Count Kuruteu! I will use my life to protect Her Royal Highness Princess Aeseilam!"

"snort!"

After being forced to make an unwilling decision due to the situation, Kuruteo quickly returned to the bridge of Yanglu City.

Now,

The bridge was in chaos.

The attack that came from nowhere left everyone confused and at the same time added a bit of fear of death.

No one is without fear of invisible attacks!

"Calm down! The more you panic, the easier it is for the enemy to sneak in!!"

Count Kuruteo tapped his cane on the cold floor under his feet several times, trying to calm down his subordinates with the knocking sound.

As a result, Kurt'o's actions were useful.

The moment Kuruteu, the backbone, returned, the chaos on the bridge also disappeared.

"Is it an attack by the Earth Alliance?"

"No! It's not that. People on Earth simply can't break through our defenses and come here!"

The answer is obvious.

Kurute's question received an answer unanimously agreed upon by everyone at this moment.
