A girl trapped aboard a battleship with no way to leave... Is she a princess, or a ship's spirit?
Vitali died tragically before she had even set sail for the first time. When she woke, she discovered that she had inherited the memories and bloodline of the battleship's levitation core, and thus became the last princess of the old empire.
"I don't want to fight! I don't want to board knight mechs and fight in boarding actions ever again!"
"Your Highness, you must lead us to victory!"
Even after the old world fell, humanity learned to live on sky islands and continued to write history.
So Vitali must adapt to her new identity and carry on in that role, until the final battle arrives.
She will reclaim the crown of the azure sky, raise the battle standard of the old days, and wage a war to end all wars, putting an end to the hatred that has endured from the past to the present.
Because that is the authority bestowed upon her by the empire that has already vanished, and because it is the royal scepter granted by the azure sky.
In the very end, the princess at the end of her road once more led a final charge against her former comrades for the sake of her people. But this time, can she claim the same sweeping victory she won back then?
(Also known as The Royal Scepter Granted by the Azure Sky, The Princess Who Excels at Running Away, and How a Shipgirl Is Made.)
