Princess Amelana, like Queen Amaterasu, was of a kind nature, but unlike the queen, she wasn't inclined to negotiate peace with the enemy or to make unnecessary sacrifices.
What occupied Princess Amelana's mind now was how to survive in the vast universe.
When would her homeland escape from Belial's clutches? When would this disaster end, and when would Belial's Dark Legion be eradicated?
Chen Yu responded to Princess Amelana's apology with feigned silence, indicating his acceptance.
Lan and Koji were still bewildered, initially doubting Chen Yu's warning about a trap, only to find out there really was one aimed at erasing memories!
With Princess Amelana's introduction, Lan and Koji learned of her identity.
However, the title of princess only sparked curiosity in them, without much surprise.
In fact, Chen Yu could take Lan and Koji to search for the Parajium Shield in his own spaceship.
But having Princess Amelana with them could simplify the journey.
After all, the Mirror Knight, a hybrid of the Mirror Planet and Planet Esmeralda, has always been a protector of the Esmeralda royal family.
Princess Amelana was quite familiar with the Mirror Knight, who had been corrupted with a berserk gene by Belial and sealed himself within the mirrors of the Mirror Planet.
Chen Yu aimed for the Mirror Planet because both the Noah Statue and the Parajium Shield were there.
Lan and Koji proved to be sociable, quickly engaging in conversation with Princess Amelana, and even forming a slight bond, especially when Koji expressed a desire to befriend her, leaving her surprised.
This tactic was something Chen Yu had seen many times before.
In the end, under the guise of naïveté, Princess Amelana joined the protagonist group.
"So, where are you headed now?" Princess Amelana asked Lan and Koji, noting that Belial's Legions were invading everywhere, making it difficult to find a relatively peaceful planet.
"We're searching for the Parajium Shield!" Koji said, holding the Parajium Stone. "Our father told us that legend has it, by finding the Parajium Shield and restoring this stone to its rightful place, we can save the world."
Chen Yu remained unfazed upon hearing this.
After all, stories of Ultraman Noah's preference for non-intervention had long been circulating.
He could directly resolve the turmoil in the universe yet chose to act through Ultraman Zero.
"If that's not slacking, what is?"
"The Parajium Shield? That legend was once widespread across the universe," Princess Amelana mentioned. "But no one knew where the missing stone for the shield was, so the legend eventually faded."
"Now that we've found the stone," Lan said excitedly, "Princess Amelana, with your vast knowledge, you must know the shield's location, right?"
"I'm sorry... I don't," Princess Amelana admitted with a hint of embarrassment.
Disappointed, Lan and Koji felt their hopes dashed.
Quickly, Princess Amelana turned to the Royal Spaceship, "Royal Spaceship, do you know where the Parajium Shield is?"
"I do not. However, the Flame Pirates, who often roam the universe fighting against Belial's Legions, might know."
The Royal Spaceship responded.
"Then let's seek them out and inquire about the Parajium Shield's whereabouts," Princess Amelana decided.
However, Chen Yu intervened, "As far as I know, the Parajium Shield should be on the Mirror Planet. Why not head there directly?"
"The Mirror Planet?" Lan looked at Chen Yu in confusion. "How do you know that, being from Earth?"
Earth, an unknown planet to them, surely wasn't part of this interstellar community.
"If I can make it here from Earth, don't you think I might have visited other planets?" Chen Yu countered. "Just trust me."
"Alright, let's first check out the Mirror Planet," the Royal Spaceship agreed with Chen Yu's suggestion.
After all, the Mirror Planet had a high defense capability and was safer for the princess than seeking out pirates.
Seeing the spaceship's agreement, Princess Amelana had no choice but to consent.
The Royal Spaceship, powered by Emerald Ore, traveled swiftly.
Lan and Koji learned that Princess Amelana and the Royal Spaceship appeared underground in search of Emerald Ore for energy replenishment.
Energy was indispensable for interstellar travel, making their rescue a fortunate coincidence.
Chen Yu was momentarily speechless, having wondered why the mechanical legions had attacked their hiding spot. It seems their target was either the Emerald Ore or Princess Amelana.
But now, the target of the attack was irrelevant.
The Royal Spaceship was quickly heading towards the Mirror Planet. In about half an hour, the ship approached a series of mirror images.
A giant mirror reversed in front of them, revealing a blue planet within.
That was the Mirror Star, existing within the mirrors.
According to Princess Amelana, the inhabitants were two-dimensional beings.
The Royal Spaceship emitted two special beams, signaling the Mirror Planet.
A star-shaped rune appeared on the mirror, and the spaceship didn't hesitate to fly in.
Simultaneously, a meteorite striking the mirror shattered into pieces.
This was the formidable defense of the Mirror Planet. Without these mirrors, the planet would likely resemble the heavily cratered moon.
Landing on this beautiful planet, filled with auroras everywhere, Chen Yu marveled at the scenery, which felt different from anything seen in movies.
"Where are the two-dimensional people? Why does this planet seem deserted?"
Koji turned to Princess Amelana, his innocent question reflecting a child's pure curiosity.
