The moment Beatrice's transformation was finished, the latter instantly fell asleep onto her bed and began sleeping with a peaceful look on her face.
...
As she felt the two large hands embrace her from behind, Beatrice, who had just been swimming through an endless ocean, couldn't help but involuntarily smile.
Slowly but surely, as she let go of herself, Beatrice began drifting amongst the endless, feeling the waves going against her body.

A moment later, Beatrice's eyes suddenly popped open, as she now stared at Guinevere, who was just standing in front of her, causing the latter's eyes to suddenly widen.
"Did something happen?" asked Beatrice as she instantly regained her senses upon regaining consciousness.
Hearing the words of her mistress, Guinevere, who was already feeling rather scared, couldn't help but slightly shiver.
"Nothing happened mistress, everything is in order," said Guinevere as she took a step back and allowed Beatrice to get up from the bed.
Hearing this, Beatrice, who had regained her bearings, couldn't help but shake her head, causing Guinevere to lower her head.
Suddenly though, without any warning, this scene was then broken as the door to the room was opened, revealing a large ant standing in the hallway.
The moment they noticed the fact that their mistress was awake, Antonia, as well as Canty, who was behind her, immediately ran into the room.
'Mistress, are you alright? The entire colony was worried about you,' said Antonia after she immediately arrived in front of Beatrice.
Only a moment later, Canty then sat down on Beatrice's should, causing her to shake her head.
"It's alright, that was just a breakthrough of mine, you have nothing to worry about," said Beatrice as she stretched out her finger towards her shoulder and touched the ant that was currently lying down on it.
As she stared at this scene, Guinevere, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but bite her lip, feeling rather embarrassed that she was feeling envious of an ant.
'Guinevere, you shouldn't be envious of a little ant without much free will, otherwise you will never get anywhere,' said Guinevere as she looked at Canty, not noticing the rather extreme irony present in her thoughts.
A moment later, after getting rid of those intruding thoughts, Guinevere turned back her attention to her mistress, who was currently listening to Antonia, who was speaking.
After she heard the words of her mistress, Antonia instantly felt as if a burden was listed off her shoulders, causing her to gain a new light in her eyes.
'Mistress, we've laid the final touches on the new colony, do you want to see it?' asked Antonia as she changed the subject of the conversation, making Beatrice touch her chin.
At first, Beatrice had wanted to refuse Antonia's offer, but after thinking about it for a few moments, and noticing the expectant light in the eyes of the two ants, she faintly nodded.
"I still have two more things to do right now, you should come and remind me later today," said Beatrice, causing the expectant looks in the eyes of the ants to transform into excited ones.
'Understood mistress, you don't have to worry, I promise that I will come remind you,' said another voice as it resounded in Beatrice's eyes.
Even though Beatrice could notice huge similarities to Antonia's own voice as this new being talked with her, she could also hear just how shy the owner of this voice was when talking to her.
A moment later, Beatrice then turned her head sideways and looked at the little ant who was standing on her shoulder, causing the latter to freeze for a brief moment before lowing her head, clearly embarrassed by what she had just done.
As she looked at the little ant, a faint smile appeared on Beatrice's face.
"Very well, then make sure that you remind me," said Beatrice as the little ant suddenly floated off her shoulder and onto Antonia, who was currently looking at the two.
A moment later, the eyes of the ant suddenly became extremely happy, as it then began moving along the back of Antonia, who clearly did not seem too happy about it.
But even so, Antonia couldn't bear to destroy the happiness of the little ant just now, as such, she allowed the latter to move around how she wished.
...
As she stretched one of her fingers into a bathtub, and felt the extremely hot water inside of it, a faint smile appeared on Beatrice's face, causing her robe, as well as the layers below it, to suddenly fall to the ground.
A moment later, Beatrice then stretched one of her legs into the bathtub, then followed up with another leg, causing the water from it to overflow onto the bathroom floor.
But even so, Beatrice did not pay any attention to this, as she merely sunk her body into the water and enjoyed its warmth, making even more water fall to the floor.
As she laid in the bathtub, Beatrice felt as though there was someone next to her, but even so, by now, Beatrice had become very used to this, and did not pay much attention to it.
Without Beatrice even realizing it, a set of golden arms had now emerged from behind her and embraced her.
But as she was focused on something else, Beatrice couldn't pay any attention to those arms.
...
As she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling above her, a faint smile appeared on Beatrice's face, causing her to let out a relaxed sigh.
"Finally, I returned to this spot," mumbled Beatrice as she felt the strength that was cruising through her body at the moment.
If she only talked about physical strength, at the moment, Beatrice felt several times more powerful than before, which had probably been caused by the refinement of her muscles by her mana.
At the same time, this was also caused by the fact that unconsciously, whilst she was undergoing her transformation, Beatrice had become a Royal Knight.
