Chapter 24

A few days later. Lolopechka was growing weaker every day. Her barrier was very weak, so weak that some Spade Kingdom disciples broke though the barrier. Everyone had their hands full defending the heart kingdom. Most of the spirit guardians were defeated and the heart kingdom was on fire. The magic knight captains, Gadjah and Julius were surrounding Lolopechka protecting her from being attacked by the spade kingdom disciples.

Everything looked bleak and everyone was running out of mana. As the spade kingdom disciples prepared for an all-out assault they were stopped when the clover kingdom’s crown appeared and glowed brightly and everyone was shocked. No one spoke. The crown then landed on a floating girl and all of the spade kingdom disciples were forced onto their stomachs or backs leaving the residents of the heart and clover kingdoms standing. Suddenly they heard a very familiar voice speak. “Tempus tormentorum violentia admisceatur (Time vortex cannon)!!!” A sudden blast sent most of the spade kingdom disciples flying out of the heart kingdom. A new barrier was formed covering both the clover and heart kingdoms.

As the dust settled from the blast everyone could see who the mysterious girl was. Everyone was shocked and most had tears in their eyes. Roxy then landed before everyone. “Who missed me?” I joked and suddenly I was brought into a very tight hug. The boy was crying so much and tightening his grip, so much that I couldn’t breathe. “H-hi Julius.” I said as I patted his head.

“Your Majesty…” Tybal started talking and I could see Lolopechka fall to the ground seeing her in agony and I knew she doesn’t have long to live. “Hold your questions for now. I have to help Lolopechka!” I said rushing towards Lolopechka and getting on my knees and turn her on her back.

Everyone saw my grimoires appear and Nori too. “S-she found her last grimoire?!” Someone said. “Hang in there Lolopechka, this might sting for a bit.” I said as Lolopechka looked at me weakly. “Tempus Reversal (Time reversal)” I casted a spell and suddenly a small clock face appeared on Lolopechka’s stomach. Another larger one beneath her and another one in front of her and strange markings went across my body.

Suddenly mana waves were sent through the air and my hair was being blown away. The handles of the clock faces moved backwards reverting Lolopechka back to the time before she was cursed. “Such powerful mana is coming from Her Majesty.” Fuegoleon said with a sweat drop.

After some time my spell faded and Lolopechka woke up. “How are you feeling Lolopechka?” I said with a smile. Lolopechka instinctively looked at her stomach and saw the curse was gone. T-thank Y-you R-Roxy!” Lolopechka said between sobs and hugged me, well more like chocked. Gadjah rushed towards us making sure Lolopechka was okay and when he saw her curse was gone he knelt before me who was standing up now. “Queen Roxy of the Clover Kingdom. We cannot express our gratitude towards you and your kingdom for what you have done for us. If there is anything you want we will try our hardest to give you what you desire in order for us to show our sincerest gratitude for what you have done for us!” Gadjah said. I thought for a moment. “You know what I really really want right now?!” Everyone looked at me with wide eyes waiting to hear what I wanted.

Everyone speculated in their heads for what I wanted. Some thought gold, others thought I would want Udine and the list went on. “What I want the most right now is…” The anticipation was high. “Good warm food and a nice long bath!” I said and most were taken aback by this. “I’m really hungry and stink like a cow.” I said sinking towards the ground again. Everyone had a smile and/or was chuckling at my actions.

A nice bath was prepared for me and most of the girls joined me and the men were on the other side of a wall but they could clearly hear if someone spoke. We took this time for me to explain what had happened. A few minutes passed as I was done explaining what had happened. “I escaped about three days ago. The Archangel Michael, who I made a pact with took control of my body and fatally wounded one of the devil users and we made our escape towards a cave not that far from the heart kingdom’s border. There I found a dungeon where the devil users hid all my grimoires. We concurred the dungeon and I got my grimoires back and forced my way through the barrier of guards that were stationed at the border to prevent me from leaving and that are pretty much what had happened. I’m really exhausted now.” I said sinking deeper into the water.

“One major thing I discovered during my time being held captive was, was which devils made pacts with the devil users. Unfortunately I only know who two of them are. Firstly the female named Vanica has a pact with the devil Megicula and the leader of the dark triad is named Dante and the demon he has a pact with is the devil Lucifero. Leader of all devils.” Everyone shocked to hear this. “The third member’s name is Zenon. It seems he uses some kind of bones from his devil but I have no idea who it is.” I said sinking into the water again. “That is by far the best information we could get.” Udine said.

We all finished our baths and had a nice feast and decided to all go to bed and get ready for the fight tomorrow.
