Character and Country Introduction
The Arland Kingdom
Alicetia von Arland
The First Princess of Arland Kingdom.
She is recognized by the Kingdom's upper echelons as a future leader, but she rarely appears in public.
This is because she is not originally the type to appear in public, and there is a possibility that her extraordinary knowledge could make her a target. Additionally, the upper echelons are concerned about her mental fragility.
Her magic prowess is already on par with that of the Queen, but she is not aware of it because she does not like offensive magic.
Her nemeses are the Queen and the Madame.
Gilbert von Arland
The Crown Prince of Arland Kingdom.
The Royal family of Arland has a long history of warriors, and he has inherited this talent at a young age. He is one of the top swordsmen in the Kingdom, but he is soft on his sister Alicetia, often training in the middle of the night to keep his skills hidden from her.
He is also politically active to the extent that he is rumored to be a purger and a sadistic Crown Prince, with whispers that those who harm the Princess are eliminated by his hand.
Draconia von Arland
The King of Arland Kingdom.
A former SSS-rank adventurer, he is the strongest man in the Kingdom.
His strength is said to be equivalent to that of ten thousand soldiers, but his everyday life is quite ordinary, and he is not violent by nature. However, on the battlefield, he is so fierce that imperial soldiers flee at the sight of him.
He is overly fond of his daughter and continuously rejects the flood of marriage proposals for her.
Since he married for love, he has no intention of forcing his daughter into a marriage. It is said that he occasionally holds secret meetings with the Crown Prince.
Sylvia von Arland
The Kingdom's Chief Mage, known as the Witch of the North, and the Queen.
She possesses a unique magic called "Happiness," which allows her to alter all phenomena within her sight to her advantage.
Her other magic abilities are top-tier, and her prowess is renowned in many countries.
She publicly declared that the Princess is a genius she does not want to see on the battlefield. Realizing early on that her emotionally fragile daughter would succumb to madness in war, she hopes that placing her in unfamiliar environments will strengthen her mind and body.
Despite wanting her daughter to toughen up, she is overprotective and has sent hundreds of special force guards for her protection. However, she does not think the Princess's penchant for research is appropriate.
Albert Grouse
One of the five Marquises and the second strongest person in the Kingdom after the king. He is an atavistic Beastman known as a "primal," appearing as a bipedal beast. He has been friends with the King since their adventuring days, and their families are close. He has one daughter, with whom he has a strained relationship due to her rebellious phase. However, he dotes on her and is often seen sitting on a bench with dead fish eyes.
Alicia Aldis
A former slave who now holds the rank of Knight. She was granted nobility for assassinating two Counts, two Viscounts, and five knights in a past war.
A former deputy captain of the special forces unit, she was favored by the Princess and became a maid after leaving the unit.
Not naturally suited for covert operations, she was mentally and physically exhausted, but continued out of gratitude and loyalty to the King who freed her from slavery. Feeling saved by the Princess before she broke, she now protects her. Her affection for the Princess knows no bounds.
She constantly regrets being female, thinking that if she were male, she would marry the Princess, leading to a fierce battle with the King and Crown Prince.
She is a half-breed of Elf and Beastman, known as a mixed blood.
Usually, half-breeds do not inherit both parents' talents, but Alicia has the physical abilities of Beastmen, her mother's talent for sorcery, and the lifespan and magic aptitude of Elves.
Though she could rank highly among Knights, her former slave status means her rank and position are not very high. Currently, she holds an officer position in the special forces unit as a bodyguard.
The Three Maids
Basically, they serve closely to the protagonist. They don't prefer fighting, so they focus on support, escape, and detection. Currently, they are training in the way of maids. Since they have no family in their original world and enjoy Arland, they have no intention of returning to Earth.
The Ostland Kingdom
Anon Sheffield
Daughter of the Captain of the Ostland Royal Guards. Although her family's rank is that of a Knight, they have influence equivalent to a Count’s family.
She is the Kingdom's future best swordswoman, but due to lack of experience and muscle strength, she is not yet suited for actual combat. Inspired by Alice's strength, she has decided to retrain herself.
Keena Lilium
Daughter of a Viscount in finances. She is a serious, committee class president type of girl.
Her hobby is reading, and she gets along well with Alicetia. Her current dilemma is whether to give BL books to Alicetia.
Due to her niche interest, she has few people she can truly talk to.
Sharon Yarstin
Daughter of a Baronet with land. Her parents are small-time nobles with the typical arrogance, but she herself lacks ambition. She only has a passion for gardening.
She is unusually popular with peers and younger people, and Alicetiaalso adores her.
According to Aristia, "Being with her is comforting." She is currently in tears over her garden being ravaged by the Stampede.
Fifth Prince
A foolish son with no future due to his numerous blunders.
Kingdom Introductions
The Gransure Empire
An Empire that advocates human supremacy and the unification of the continent under its rule.
However, political corruption has advanced, and as a result of rapid territorial expansion over the last hundred years, domestic security is the worst.
Successive emperors have been nearly war-crazed, neglecting internal affairs. Despite this, the military is strong and numerous, preventing uprisings. While not publicly acknowledged, rebellions happen frequently but are all suppressed, and participants are demoted to slave status.
Holy Abia Theocracy
Also known as the Imperial State.
A country governed by the Pope, not a monarchy, and home to the Central Church.
They genuinely believe that killing people for the sake of Church doctrine is acceptable.
They call other races subhumans and joined forces with the Empire to crush any country that stands against them.
Domestic affairs are somehow managed due to the citizens' fanaticism, but corruption has reached an unmanageable level. The Church's upper echelons entertain themselves by tormenting multi-racial slaves.
The Arland Kingdom
Originally developed from a small settlement. Although many countries experience monster Stampedes, Arland, which faces the Forest of Monsters—or rather developed by cutting it off—experiences the largest and most frequent Stampedes in the world.
Despite these circumstances, it is a multi-racial state where many races coexist, and it surpasses the Empire in terms of military strength.
There is no alternative for the other races living in Arland, as it is currently the only country where they can live normally, leading to strong unity. However, recently, corruption among humans has surfaced.
The national character is festival-loving.
The Ostland Kingdom
A country known for its history and education, with no other notable features.
Currently, it is expanding its military in preparation for impending turmoil.
