Editing Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume14 Chapter9 (section)

===Part 3===

(...Kamito-kun!?)

The instant she activated her magic&mdash;

An image of Kamito was carved deeply into Fianna's mind.

Clearly different from an ordinary person's, that presence had a sort of nostalgic feeling to it too.

Undoubtedly, it was the presence of the Kamito whom she knew so well.

&mdash;In that case, now is not the time to be sitting around in this place.

Doing everything to concentrate, Fianna stood up.

Using her trembling finger, she dipped it into the blood on the ground and wrote a magic circle on the prison wall.

Despite a lack of divine power, with the aid of a magic circle, the act of summoning itself should be possible.

(Although I'm filthy all over and haven't purified myself&mdash;)

The holy knight who served as her right hand would surely come.

With this conviction, she chanted the words of summoning.

"—Thou, servant of the king of the child of man, knight and master swordsman!
—By the contract of the old blood, become the sword that protects me, come forth and do my bidding!"

The princess maiden's clear voice pierced the silence of the Temple of World Isolation.

Responding to her words, the magic circle of blood glowed blue-white.

A silver light flashed through the air.

A sword of steel tore through space and out from the crack appeared a silver-white knight.

The knight spirit Georgios&mdash;the high-ranked spirit passed down the Ordesia imperial family.

"...Thank goodness... You came..."

Smiling, almost about to collapse, Fianna was caught in the knight spirit's powerful arms. Next, after placing her slowly on the ground, the knight spirit drew his sword and severed the chains binding Fianna's arms and legs in one strike.

"...Thank you. I think I kept a healing crystal inside&mdash;"

The knight spirit opened up his chest armor and took out a spirit crystal from the void.

Fianna held the spirit crystal against her bosom and poured divine power into it.

"O benevolent unicorn, heal my body with the light&mdash;"

Holy light of healing enveloped her entire body and her drained stamina returned slightly.

(Right now, this is all I can do...)

&mdash;That being said, she should have recovered to the point of being able to walk.

Fianna took out a ritual dagger from Georgios' chest and sliced off her dress' bloodstained hem for ease of movement.

Then she walked over to the tightly shut door. Other protective magic had been cast on the door, but there was no time to dispel it now.

(...Since I can't open it, I might as well break it.)

Fianna raised her hand at the door.

"&mdash;Destroy it, Georgios!"

She commanded.

Obeying his liege's order, the knight spirit attacked the door fiercely with his massive sword.

Severed in a single strike. With a loud sound, the door shattered into fragments.

"...What, the Second Princess!?"

"I-Impossible, how could a contracted spirit&mdash;"

"R-Report to Dame Leschkir, hurry&mdash;"

The guards stationed at the Temple of World Isolation cried out in surprise and fled one after another.

"Huff, huff... Guh..."

However, Fianna felt a wave of dizziness and had to lean against a wall. In her current state, maintaining Georgios was too much of a strain, running the risk of losing consciousness.

"&mdash;Go back, Georgios. Thank you."

Obeying his liege's command, the knight spirit nodded then disappeared as particles of light.

"Wait for me, Kamito-kun..."

After a quiet murmur, Fianna began to run along the corridor in the shrine.
