This Princess Really Is Up to Something

Erica transmigrated into a Western fantasy story and became the Red-Eyed Knight who died alongside a dragon while protecting the princess.

When she first arrived, Erica was able to calmly think: Isn't this just the plot where I defeat the dragon and protect the princess and prince? I'm familiar with this!

But as the story progressed, she realized that things seemed to be getting more and more suspicious... Were the protagonists really trying to defeat the dragon? Was this world really as wonderful as the fairy tales described? Were prophecies always true?

And... in this world...

Do dragons really exist?

Andrea: Oh my, Erica is overthinking again. [Smiles]

Erica: ...I still think there's something very suspicious about this princess.

Andrea thought her knight might have something wrong with her.

For instance, she was always going on about slaying a dragon.

For instance, she would secretly gossip with the captain of the knights about which prince Andrea would eventually marry.

For instance, in perfectly ordinary situations, she would say the strangest things while wearing her usual expressionless face.

And then there was the fact that she clearly liked Andrea so much she blushed, yet her head was still full of her Schrödinger's dragon-slaying quest.

According to the rumors, Princess Andrea Nono Bartholomew had the hair of the Moon Goddess and the wisdom of the Goddess of Wisdom. Even dragons were captivated by her eyes, and one had foretold it would take her away when she came of age. Andrea, the empire's treasured princess, possessed every virtue imaginable. She was kind and innocent, gentle and beautiful...

As Erica calmly pitied the people who had been blinded, she watched the princess tie her up with rope.

"Princess Andrea..."

The princess gave her a smile that was sweet and chilling all at once. "Call me Nono, my dear Miss Erica. Is there something you wanted to ask?"

Erica: "...No. Please, carry on."

[Andrea's Princess Diary: The knight didn't come today, and neither did the evil dragon. I'll hold a grudge... Never mind, I should get even right away.]

#Everyone knows that when the common folk spread a strange rumor, it's usually true#

P.S. I rarely read Western fantasy, so rather than traditional Western fantasy, the setting is more like Japanese anime-style Western fantasy.
