At a glance from Amer, a woman standing among the knights stepped forward.
She is a woman that looks more foreign than anyone in this place.
She carried no weapon, let alone a sword or shield, and instead of her maid uniform or armor, she draped her entire body in a black robe. nove(l)bi(n.)com
Also, a white mask covered her face except for her two eyes.
This is Leah, a cornerstone of the Five Greats of the Empire. She is one of the great Transcendentalists that the Empire is proud of. She is responsible for the security of the main building where you are staying and the area around including this palace.
Upon Amers introduction, Leah dispelled the incognito passive skill.
She was a part of the Imperial Five Greats, the strongest military force in the Empire, and a gathering of transcendentalists each equivalent to an army.
Originally, they were directly subordinate to the emperor and only served under the imperial order, but Leah was temporarily placed by the third princess for the safety and surveillance of the summoned beings.
Leahs black pupils gazed upon the summoned, and then her passive stealth skill was activated again.
Amer then delivered the news that the summoned beings curfew would be lifted at the New Years ceremony, which were to be held in a few days, and imparted upon them information about when, where, and how the property test would be conducted.
This is the end of the message. Do you have any questions?

Park Min-ho hates this world.
Attributes, magic, swordsmanship, gods, and monsters.
Based on elements that do not exist on Earth, the human civilisation that has developed in a completely different way from Earth is very interesting the more one studies it.
All the otherworlders he has met so far have been kind to him.
So far, there has been little discomfort in all aspects of food, clothing and shelter.
But-
The Kairos Empire, which dominates the Western Continent, has a caste system.
The value of life differs according to the status of a person.
Slaves are treated as the property of their masters and are not treated as humans.
The only way for commoners and slaves to escape from their given status is to overcome the odds and somehow awaken their attributes.
Park Min-ho does not like this Empire.
The book Introduction to Astronomy he saw in the library the other day justified the caste system on the basis of attributes.
He was drinking kimchi soup [T/N: Fantasies] with the thought of eating the three girls in his class, as well as the princess he had seen for the first time today.
Ah~ I wish time could pass quickly. I want to undergo the attribute test.

Princess, thank you for your hard work. What hard work did I do? I just said this and that.
After returning the summoned beings to the main building, Princess Amer di Kairos and her Transcendental bodyguard Leah went to Amers office.
There is little time left until the next thing on her schedule.
Amer remembered the four summoned being she saw today.
They didnt get to talk much, so she mostly remembered their looks.
Choi Ji-hoon is out. Jeong Ji-hoo is handsome, but hes not to my taste... Among the three, I like Park Min-ho the best. Lol.
Of course, if she included Min Hye-rin, she won the beauty contest by a landslide!
If Amer and Min Hye-rin both awaken an attributes, they will go to the academy together.
If that happens, I will definitely become friends with her!
What impression does Leah-sama have of the summoned?
Imagining going out with Park Min-ho, she asked her bodyguard with a happy smile as she also imagined a future where she became friends with Min Hye-rin.
After coming out of the shadows, Leahs expression remained unchanged.
Jeong Ji-Hoo. I was observing him.
Eh? Do you like that persons face...?
Its not because of his looks.
The eye is an organ that one can dig up the most information from about a persons unconscious.
It is often said that you can reach the soul of a person by looking into their eyes.
Jeong Jihoo, those eyes.
Leah recalls those motionless black pupils.
It was the eyes of a man who has killed a human.
His soul smelled of blood.
The smell of blood in his soul from the moment he experienced his first murder.
The smell was infinitely faint, but it couldnt fool her senses.
