Elizabeth Sauron – Human, 13 years old, female

The youngest daughter of the Sauron house of dukes, a beautiful girl with blonde twin-tails who carries herself in a proud and haughty manner. Although she is talented, because she dragged her lackeys around with her and behaved like she was better than everyone else, the other students at the Hero Preparatory School kept their distance from her and avoided forming anything more than a surface-level relationship with her.

She is actually a vain person, but that vanity was only compensating for a lack of confidence in herself. Earl Reamsand, who was supposed to be her backer, was after her body, and because she refused to yield to him, he heavily limited the support he provided her and forced her into a difficult financial situation. After school, rather than spending her time on studies and social activities like a noble normally would, she had to do part-time work (such as carrying out menial tasks for the Adventurers’ Guild) in order to make ends meet.

She resided in Earl Reamsand’s mansion… or rather, the “detached building” on its grounds that was little more than a small hut. Her mother was hospitalized at the Hospital of Psychotherapy and the only one she could trust was her attendant Mahelia, who was raised with her like a sister. Fearing that Zona and the rest of her party members would abandon her if they were to learn what a vulnerable state she was in, she couldn’t tell them the truth.

There was no hope that her desperate situation would ever improve, but during a strategy meeting with her party in an empty classroom, she declared that everyone gathered there was a companion of hers, unaware that Vandalieu was in the classroom with them, which led to Vandalieu following (haunting) her.

After that, she improved her skills remarkably through Vandalieu’s harsh training and even had her financial burdens relieved. Her goal of graduating at the top of her class, which she had initially thought of as almost impossible, is now in sight.

Amelia, who was hospitalized at the Hospital of Psychotherapy, has been rescued; Earl Reamsand, who was after Elizabeth’s body, has been removed from the picture; and she has become an imperial princess of the Demon Empire of VIdal… A year ago, she would never have imagined that she would find herself in such circumstances.

Her mind is now completely preoccupied with her new stepbrother Bakunawa, who stands a hundred meters tall, and her stepfather who is a year younger than her and still haunts her from the shadows, referring to her with the ‘-sama’ honorific. Compared to that, succeeding the Sauron house seems like an insignificant matter. However, the current head of the house, Rudel Sauron, intends to hand over the position of duke to Elizabeth.

Because she has been given transformation equipment and received lessons from Kanako and the others, it is possible that she will become a duchess who can sing and dance.

She currently resides in Silkie Zakkart Mansion and is struggling with the mansion’s complicated and mysterious contraptions – though she is fine with the mansion’s residents, as she has become accustomed to… or rather, numbed to the presence of beings that are very far from being human.

However, she has recently started to think that things might be bad after finding Mahelia talking to mice and doing things with Rita, Saria, and Bellmond.

Mahelia – Human, 13 years old, female

A girl who serves as Elizabeth’s attendant. She is the scout for the party.

Mahelia’s mother was an attendant who served the house of knights that Amelia belonged to, so Mahelia serves Elizabeth herself rather than the Sauron house.

Their bond is strong, as they were raised like sisters, and for a long time, Mahelia was the only person whom Elizabeth confided in.

Mahelia is generally willing to do anything for Elizabeth, so she accompanied her during the visit to Bakunawa and during the singing and dancing lessons… though she does question the direction in which Elizabeth is heading.

She feels deep gratitude towards Vandalieu for saving her and Elizabeth, but she does believe that he will be a troublesome master to serve.

Thus, she is interacting with a variety of people in order to improve her skills not only as a party member, but as a servant. This includes being taught various things by Tadano Nezumi, Saria, Rita, and Bellmond, but she has not realized that Elizabeth has a mistaken impression regarding this.

She is not talking to the mice out of stress, nor is she interested in wearing male clothing or suits of armor in the shape of bikinis or high-leg leotards.

Zona Chinos – Dwarf, 15 years old, female

A Dwarf girl with pink hair who is a daughter of a noble family. She is actually the daughter of a Dwarf prostitute whom her noble father lavished money on. However, before she was born, her father made her mother marry one of his servants, and she officially became the daughter of that servant.

However, as Zona grew up, her biological father realized that she was beautiful and blessed with talent, and took her in as his adopted daughter. Aware of her own complicated circumstances, she has grown into a tenacious girl with the philosophical view on life that it’s important to find happiness while knowing one’s place in society.

Her mother is happy as she was able to leave prostitution, and because she knows things that Zona’s biological father wishes to keep secret, she is able to live a wealthy life as a servant’s wife.

The man who raised Zona is happy as he is married to a beautiful wife despite being nothing more than a servant, and because Zona’s biological father feels indebted to him, he is paid higher wages than others. He feels no discontent or despair, and by continuing his married life with his wife, he is able to provide for his other children, so he is happy.

Zona’s biological father is happy because although he pays extra money to Zona’s mother and adoptive father because they know his secret and because he feels indebted to them, his reputation remains protected. And he is the one who stands to benefit if Zona finds success in the future or becomes married to a man of high social status.

And as for Zona herself, she is also currently happy because she was raised in a far more wealthy environment than if her mother had remained an unmarried prostitute. And although she is just an adopted child, she is still a noble, and because she is able to choose a marriage partner from men of higher quality than if she had remained a servant’s daughter.

In conclusion, the entire family is happy. Thus, Zona doesn’t harbor any negative feelings towards her family.

After she enrolled at the Hero Preparatory School, she became one of Elizabeth’s party members, but that was because she had been requested to spy on her by Earl Reamsand, who held much power within the political faction that her biological father belongs to. She held no ill will towards Elizabeth; she simply thought that it would be best for her to give up on her ambitious dreams and be content with what happiness she could find.

However, that was only because, like Elizabeth’s other lackey members, she was unaware that Earl Reamsand was after Elizabeth’s body, despite her being younger than even his own daughters, and unaware that he was poisoning Elizabeth’s mother and using her as a hostage. If she had known, she would have advised Elizabeth to escape the earl’s grasp and even helped her to do so.

With the unusual education given to her by her mother, she has used seductive techniques to get the three male lackeys in the party to do what she wants, and although she tried to use the same methods to get Vandalieu on their side, she failed due to the fact that Vandalieu attaches importance to muscles and due to getting caught up in the trouble caused by Alex. In the end, it was she who became a part of Vandalieu’s side.

She learned the truth behind Vandalieu and his companions before Elizabeth, and she aims to become one of Vandalieu’s mistresses. She thought that there would be fierce competition with rivals for this, but… that was not the case at all. For some reason, she is facing trials of a different kind than she expected every single day – attending singing and dancing lessons, being licked by Bakunawa, Orbaume being on the verge of annihilation, and so on.

Incidentally, Elizabeth’s other lackeys are a tall and thin spearman named Macht Hamilton, a plump swordsman named Taurus Zetts who also serves as a shield-bearer, and a bespectacled mage named Yuzef Catalonis.

Amelia Sauron – Human, 32 years old, female

Elizabeth’s mother. She is from a family of knights, and she married the previous Duke Sauron, who fell in love with her at first sight despite their ages being as far apart as father and daughter. She bore a harsh destiny – The day the Sauron house formally announced that Elizabeth was a daughter of the duke, the Amid Empire invaded; she lost her husband and was forced to flee her homeland.

Although she is a member of the Sauron house, because she was of such low social standing, almost none of the Sauron house’s vassals were protecting her. Although she was able to escape thanks to her father (Elizabeth’s grandfather) protecting her, she was later caught up in the conflict to decide the next head of the Sauron house.

There was the option of immediately giving everything up and becoming a commoner, but the Reamsand house, who took Elizabeth in, wanted her to take part in the race to become duke, and she was unable to ignore their demands.

And even after she and Elizabeth raised the white flag in the conflict, there was no changing the fact that Elizabeth had been recognized as a daughter of the Sauron house. It was even possible that Rudel or VIdal would take Elizabeth away from Amelia to use her in a political marriage, which would be the worst-case scenario for Amelia and one that she could not bear to think about.

Her mental health suffered, and at Earl Reamsand’s suggestion, she was hospitalized at the Hospital of Psychotherapy, but she spent years at the hospital with her symptoms getting worse every year. That was only to be expected, as she was made to take ‘medicine’ that was actually poison that had negative effects on her, but…

Later, she began to believe that she was Duke Sauron’s wife and that her husband was alive, and she would mistakenly recognize some men as her husband.

After she encountered Vandalieu, her symptoms changed in a way that made her believe that he was her husband… and these symptoms have not exactly been cured.

Incidentally, Amelia recognizes Demon King Familiars as Vandalieu as well, and does not feel any conflict at the fact that her husband can exist in multiple places at once. Naturally, she is also entirely unbothered by their unusual number of eyes, mouths, and limbs, and by the shells and carapaces covering their bodies.

When the above is pointed out to her, no matter how logical and easy to understand the explanation is, she gently tells them to calm down or calms herself down.

If the person continues to point out these things, she bursts into tears and eventually lets out a strange noise and faints. She wakes up having forgotten the events leading up to her fainting.

Now, Demon King Familiars prevent conversations from proceeding before she gets to the point of crying, and in emergencies, Vandalieu appears in person to cut the conversation off, thus preserving her current state of insanity.

It would have been possible for Vandalieu to use ‘Mental Encroachment’ to play around with her mind, but because he is not confident that he can restore her to her previous self, he hasn’t done this and instead continues to act like her husband when she is around… He seems to believe that she may be happier as she is now rather than if she were forced to learn the truth in an attempt to restore her sanity, risking her symptoms becoming even worse in the process.

After she was released from the Hospital of Psychotherapy, she has been living in Silkie Zakkart Mansion, but she sometimes gets taken out by Demon King Familiars to increase her Levels.

It seems that the overwhelming majority of Orbaume’s nobles questioned not whether she and Vandalieu have a romantic relationship, but whether Vandalieu is trying to use her and her daughter Elizabeth to try and do something to the Sauron house.

The reason Amelia possesses the ‘Apprentice Maid’ and ‘Maid’ Jobs is because despite being born to a house of knights, she did not have any desire or plans to become a knight, so she served as a maid at her lord’s house to learn upper-class manners – though this is what led to the previous Duke Sauron coming into contact with her.

After that, she gained the ‘Lady’ Job as a result of learning the manners, etiquette, customs, formal dances, and the various other things that would be expected of a nobleman’s wife, and she went through no further Job changes after that. This is often the case for not just Amelia, but for the majority of noble ladies who do not need to learn to fight.

She never even dabbled in magic in the past, but she has recently gained magic-related Skills and Jobs. This is because Kanako used ‘Venus’ to transfer her memories to Amelia for Leveling purposes, so she started with a feel for what it is like to cast magic and learned through practice rather than theory.

As a result, she gained not the ‘Magical Girl’ Job but the ‘Magical Lady’ and ‘Transforming Lady’ Jobs instead, and has so far managed to stay safe from the influence of a certain Princess Guider – though she is mostly unacquainted with Zadiris to begin with.
