Title: The reason the Empire is strong isn't because Fire is superior to Electricity
Author: DonkeyGalller
Content: It's because the Imperial Princesses are all High Elves. OK?
Is there a method against those who live forever and get stronger and stronger?
Especially the Emperor makes no sense. OK?
If you become a Transcendent of Fire
Summoning a Miniature Sun is possible.
Who would have even thought of this?
Miniature Sun is broken OP.
Miniature Sun? I quickly posted a thread.

Title: How strong is the Miniature Sun?
Author: DonkeyGalller
Content: Is it summoning a real sun?
DonkeyGalller1: Yep. It's freaking OP. No kingdom can withstand that.
DonkeyGalller: Did a country get destroyed somewhere?
DonkeyGalller1: Correct, Historian!
DonkeyGalller1: A small sun rose in the middle of a city and deleted one city.
DonkeyGalller1: It's not just a fireball. A radius of several kilometers melted down.
DonkeyGalller1: At the time, the Emperor made the Miniature Sun rise at a place a thousand kilometers away from the Imperial Castle. It was like saying ‘Let's float a small sun over there’ from the veranda, and immediately game set.
DonkeyGalller1: The King of the country that disappeared then was a Transcendent (presumed), but went missing (presumed dead) at this time.
DonkeyGalller1: Long live Her Majesty the Emperor!
She summoned a sun, albeit small, from that far away and a radius of several kilometers melted? If I get hit, regeneration or whatever won't be able to withstand it, right? The problem is, will the Imperial Family members, who are Fire Ability Users, think fondly of me, who has the opposing element? Even if my feet explode, they regenerate, but what if my whole body touches high heat instantly?
Ah, this feels like I'll die. Since the surroundings get devastated too, is it a consolation that it's difficult to use carelessly within the Empire?
I can't beat the Emperor. Then what about the Imperial Princesses?

Title: What level is a Saint-Rank Fire Ability User?
Author: DonkeyGalller
Content: Micro-Miniature Sun possible?
DonkeyGalller1: Is the Imperial Princess Fan Club member here?
DonkeyGalller: No no. Asking because I really don't know.
DonkeyGalller1: Are you the Historian from earlier? The representative skill is Fire Spear.
DonkeyGalller: How strong is it?
DonkeyGalller1: Penetration power and range are good.
DonkeyGalller: What about the area? Would something like a mountain disappear?
DonkeyGalller1: If hit squarely, even a Saint-Rank would die, but disappearing a mountain is too broken lol
DonkeyGalller1: About the thickness of a utility pole? Maybe.
Ah, I won't die from getting hit by this. But another problem arose. I feel like I'd win against all Saint-Rank Fire Ability Users, but wouldn't the Emperor hate that more?
What if she tries to kill me saying ‘A Saint-Rank Water Ability User Soi who will be a threat to my daughters!’?
I have to avoid all Imperial Family members! Absolutely!

Beep—
Ah, ah, everyone is requested to gather at the Helper Office by 9 o'clock in neat attire. Everyone! Make sure not to be late!
It was the General Manager's voice again. For some reason, his voice sounded urgent. Did yesterday's incident become a problem?
Arriving at the Helper Office, I see the General Manager's urgent expression.
“There is no time to explain at length! Follow the words and actions I lead! If you fall out of favor, you cannot handle even a bit of it!”
It seems serious. What's going on? Looks like a high-ranking person is coming.
“Especially you guys! If you fall out of favor, you might all be kicked out! Is being confined here hard? If you actually go out, you will know what unimaginable treatment incompetent Sois receive!”
Ah, did yesterday's matter go wrong? The Deputy General Manager's father is the ruler here, so to know the situation properly, I went to Serin's side and asked.
“Serin, what's happening?”
“You there! No chatting! Are you going to bring about a situation where all Sois suffer because of you alone! Don't even open your mouth!”
Fear and urgency were visible in the General Manager's expression.
Ring ring ring
“She arrived? Make no mistakes.”
The General Manager hung up the phone and urged us to go out to the lobby.
The lobby we went out to was incredibly crowded with people. Were there this many Sois here? It seems all Sois who were in other buildings came. Even managers I had never seen before had gathered in large numbers.
At that moment,
Her Highness Imperial Princess Katerina Drebovna Drebana is entering~!!
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!
Beastkin wearing uniforms and carrying swords moved in perfect order. They disciplinedly lined up on both sides, creating a path.
A woman walking down the path lined up like that.
It was an Elf wearing a red cape and a white uniform.
An elegant and dignified gait. A feeling that there would be no error in her work.
I realized it even seeing her for the first time. She was definitely Imperial Family. It was a nobility I had never felt anywhere to that extent.
“We greet Her Highness the Imperial Princess!”
When the manager led the chant loudly and tried to kneel, the Imperial Family member raised her palm to stop him.
“It is fine. Please be at ease.”
“It is awe-inspiring!”
“““It is awe-inspiring!”””
The General Manager followed without a second word, and everyone repeated after him.
I couldn't take my eyes off her. Her red hair, shining with a gloss as if applied with jewels, shimmered like waves.
Swoosh swoosh
Her hair swaying, she walked over.
One step.
The moment you see her, you know. You dare not stand in front of her.
One step.
Even those who hadn't come to their senses quickly snapped out of it at the gaze of the guards following behind and stepped aside.
One step.
Finally, the moment I was also about to step aside,
Grab.
My wrist was caught.
?
The Imperial Princess stared intently at me.
Ah, am I screwed? Did the Imperial Princess come because of yesterday's incident after all? It was only last night that I vowed not to get involved with the Imperial Family!
***
Question marks floated in the minds of the Sois.
Why did Her Highness the Imperial Princess grab that black-haired guy's wrist?
Come to think of it, the Deputy General Manager wasn't here. The Deputy General Manager's father is the Koopong Ruler of Busanosk. Did things go wrong after all?
With just one wave of her hand with that emotionless expression unique to the Imperial Princess, that black-haired Soi's life will end today.
People unfolded their own imaginations, but their hearts were completely different from yesterday.
It was refreshing to see that black-haired guy handling that unlucky Deputy General Manager, but now it was not like that at all.
If the Deputy General Manager was a barking dog, the Imperial Family is a difference on the level of everywhere being on fire.
If that happens right before your eyes, it's not like watching a fire across the river.

Flawless snow-white skin. The shimmering hair held a fascinating red light at a distance where I could touch it if I reached out.
Another step.
The distance between us became a span, and she stared piercingly at my face.
A distance close enough for me to be reflected in her clear and transparent red eyes.
At that moment,
***
Serin wondered just what on earth was happening. ‘That Imperial Princess is really making a personal appearance because of the Deputy General Manager's matter?’ It was difficult to guess what was happening from the expression she saw when their eyes met briefly earlier.
Even though Serin was a talent selected by Katerina, daring to request something was impossible.
Even if that Imperial Family member executes one rude Soi, who would dare say anything? No one can stop her and no one can blame her. Even so, she didn't want to just let Saklasi die.
Just as Serin was thinking of performing a prostration to stop Her Highness for a moment and seek permission to speak—
Katerina, after looking for a long time with those cool-headed eyes, showed a faint smile. Serin's jaw dropped in shock.
Her Highness Imperial Princess Katerina is smiling?
***
Katerina recalled her eighth sister, Ekaterina, and intended to act like her.
‘How should I cherish him?’ She pondered while approaching Saklasi.
First, smile.
Following that, when Katerina did another action of her sister she recalled, a spectacle unfolded that made everyone gasp in surprise.
“““?????????”””
Katerina had gently hugged Saklasi.
Katerina merely copied the action her sister used to do to her often, but
With Katerina's input and output, she couldn't guess that this story would be headlined and hit the Imperial Castle hard.
Katerina was input with only this one thing secretly: ‘Without revealing he is a nephew.’
Serin, seeing that sight, was surprised at the earlier smile, but now she couldn't guess at all what this situation was. The people watching together were of one mind.
What kind of person is Katerina? Officially, she had never smiled once. Katerina's fan club members liked that saying it was cooler, but anyway, Katerina was always expressionless whenever she beat up demons and appeared on public broadcasts.
Comparing with the image the youngest Imperial Princess Clara showed on broadcasts, the difference was even starker.
The public's gaze was familiar to Katerina. She didn't mind it even now. So she was still unaware that her current actions were content to be written as headlines moment by moment.
“You don't have a smartphone?”
“Yes.”
Saklasi was dumbfounded even at Katerina's words to call if anything happened.
There was no longer a need to go to the dormitory after work. The house in the form of a super-high-rise residential tower visible even from the dormitory roof. That top floor became Saklasi's home starting today.
“A delivery will go there today. Contact this number.”
When Katerina gestured to her attendant, a smartphone was ordered immediately for same-day arrival. And she took out a business card, wrote a number separately on the back, and handed it to Saklasi.
As Katerina turned around, the escort knights made a path again in perfect order, and Katerina walked back down that path elegantly and dignifiedly, just as she had come.
Not knowing that soon, the Gallery might explode with Katerina's story.
