285 The Shackled Hero

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 

Looking at Emilia acting like she was the one 'overreacting' to something trivial, Crystal couldn't help but pout. "Do you even know how dangerous it would be if word of this ability was to get out?"

Emilia chuckled as she saw the sulking heroine 'bully' her furry tail vengefully as they lay side by side. "Don't worry, I know. There have been many emperors and kings who have brought their people to ruin in their lust for a longer lifespan."

The heroine was about to nod when she was suddenly struck with a thought. 'Emilia often refers to herself as a princess, doesn't she? I always thought she was just being cute, but could it be that she really is one?'

But thinking about it again… it didn't really matter, since Emilia was already a princess in her heart.

Crystal couldn't help but sigh. "Since you know, then don't mention it to anyone when there is no need for it, okay? Even I didn't need to know such a thing."
