The Author's POV

Coming into the Pillar of Gluttony, I expected things to be rather serious, but I was surprised to see that the situation wasn't as dire as I expected it to be.

In fact, the situation was a lot more advantageous then I thought it to be.

"Is this your doing?"

I turned to look at Liam who was hanging on the bridge of the Princess's nose. He seemed battered, and tired, but the moment our eyes met, his expression relaxed a little.

"Oh, hey Ren. How have you been?"

"You did a good job."

Ignoring his light hearted greeting, I lowered my head to stare at the cheeks of the Princess which were currently inflated. I could feel a certain energy from within, and when I turned my gaze away, I locked my eyes on a certain figure in the distance.

'It must be her doing.'

There was only one person that was capable of producing such pure and powerful energy.

Although Liam was strong, he wasn't at this level just yet. It could only be her.

"I see… I think I understand what's going on."

Rumble! Rumble!

At the same time I realized what was happening, the Princess trashed around and destroyed everything that her feet stepped onto to. Gradually, however, she was able to somewhat stabilize the injury that she sustained in her eye, and the energy inside of her started to calm down.

"We can't be having that."

If there was anything that I couldn't allow, it was that, and as my vision blurred, my feet touched something soft.

I was standing right on top of her cheek, and the moment I appeared over there, I felt two eyes lock on me.

When I turned my head, our gazes met, and I lowered my hand and pressed it against her cheek.

Her expression changed drastically at that point, but it was already too late.

Exerting a lot the mana inside of me, her cheeks started to inflate even further, and the energy that she was trying to keep in check became even wilder.

Rumble! Rumble!

"Hmmmmm!"

Her trashing increased, and it became hard for me to keep myself steady as a result. A large shadow cast behind me, and I knew exactly what she was trying to do. Thus, frowning, I opened my mouth and imbued my voice with the laws.

"Stop."

Her body stopped at my words and her expression changed once more. Golden runes and words clamped her hand above me, and covered every inch of her body.
