The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Aten watched the freezing devil and thought,

‘Is it just me that the devils are after?’

Through the recent battle with the devil, she realized that he wasn't trying to kill her. His goal was likely to drain her strength, in other words, capture her alive.

However, Aten couldn't fathom the reason behind it.

‘……Something similar has happened before.’

Aten's ability to quickly grasp the situation despite the devil's appearance was largely due to her past experiences.

Her status as a princess had always exposed Aten to potential dangers, the most prominent threat being Renzo.

In Renzo's case, the reason for capturing Aten alive was due to Elysia's request, who aimed to ascend to the position of Empress. Elysia believed Aten had a higher chance of becoming Empress than herself.

While Elysia's case was somewhat unique, the underlying motive of exploiting Aten's rights as a princess was no different from the countless threats Aten had faced before.
