The **Priscilla Camp** (プリシラ陣営) is a Royal Selection team that is led by Priscilla Barielle.

Priscilla said that she would reward the people who support her and is always willing to comply with the requests of others.

## History

Priscilla was born in the Vollachian Empire as the daughter of its then Emperor, Drizen Vollachia, as "Prisca Benedict". She grew up with Arakiya, who later became her sworn sword. Prisca took part in the Vollachian Empire's Emperor Selection Ceremony at the age of 12 after being deemed worthy by the Yang Sword. However, Arakiya ended up betraying her, fearing she would be killed by Vincent and agreed to Vincent's deal which would involve setting up a plot to fake her death. The plot succeeded and Prisca Benedict was regarded as dead save only to a few in the know. As a result Vincent Vollachia won the ceremony and became the Emperor whilst Prisca took the name Priscilla assuming the life of one of her deceased body doubles.

A short time later, Priscilla married her first husband, Jorah Pendleton, until his untimely death at the hands of Goz Ralfon. She was briefly able to reunite with Arakiya for a short time, and she eventually escaped death once more. After she was rescued by Balleroy Temeglyph and Miles from bandits, she escaped to the Kingdom of Lugunica with Serena Dracroy's help and married several mean, but each of them fell into ruin and met unnatural deaths, causing her to become known as the Bloody Bride.

After a few failed husbands, Priscilla met Leip Barielle. Because of the Dragon History Stone, Leip knew that Priscilla is a worthy candidate, and because of the latter, he held a tournament to choose a knight for Priscilla. Leip hired Gilian Endymion to become her knight, but to his surprise, she chose Al instead, as she said that he was "way more interesting".

Priscilla eventually married Leip Barielle, the baron of the Barielle Barony. Leip found that she was one of the candidates for the Royal Selection and sought to use her as a tool to achieve his dream of power, but Priscilla proved to be much harder to manipulate than he thought and decided to make her into a puppet by using the abilities of a curse arts user he was acquainted with. He also planned to prepare a knight who would look good alongside Priscilla as a sort of public relations strategy to improve her standing among citizens. Around this time, Priscilla met a starving, impoverished, orphaned, and nameless boy from a farming village in her domain. Despite being on the brink of death, he caught her interest because they shared the same eye color. She decided to call him Schult and she took him back to her manor so he could become a butler.

One day, Leip organized a tournament to decide who Priscilla's knight would be. She quickly got bored with the fighting while viewing the tournament, causing her to ask Schult for his thoughts. Schult decided to recommend Al, as he believed that the man showed care for Priscilla, unlike the other combatants. Priscilla thought Al was entertaining enough and that his fighting style was interesting, and she consequently selected him as her “clown”. This infuriated Leip, as he had tried to fix the tournament so that a winner would be under his control. A few days later, Leip attempted to bring Al and Schult under his control, but he was refused when he revealed his intentions to make Priscilla into a puppet. Al clashed with Leip by using his ability, which resulted in the baron being incapacitated. In due time, Leip passed away before the commencement of the Royal Selection, leading Priscilla to take over as the governing lord of the Barielle Barony. Under her rule, the land—which was previously ravaged by severe poverty due to Leip's tyranny—quickly got back on its feet, and its people started to live much happier and better lives all as a result of Priscilla's leadership of the territory.

After the Royal Selection's commencement, a man named Array Denkuts came to the Barielle Manor in order to plead Priscilla to go to his home village, Coffleton, and eliminate the undead that had appeared there. Together with Al and Yae Tenzen, Priscilla went to Coffleton and discovered that the undead had some sort of parasite within them. The men of the town had all turned into undead who looked exactly as they did in life, while the women and children housed the parasites yet were still alive. Priscilla used the Yang Sword to remove the parasite from them, she gathered her private army, the Crimson Battlefront, to visit two other villages among the Tenrill River to eliminate any undead, and she brought Priscilla and Al with her to an unaffected village to investigate why there were no undead there. They visited a watermill and found that the manager there, Edda Rayfast, had become the leader of the undead, and she opened a trap door that led Al into a wastewater treatment plant.

On Priscilla's order, Yae retreated to search for Al. In the meantime, Priscilla conversed with Edda and discovered her plan to create a "paradise" for her "maker". When Yae found Al, he had cleared through waves of numerous undead and decided to save Priscilla from Edda. He went back to the watermill, successfully defeated Edda, and rescued Priscilla. With the undead's leader defeated, they returned to the Barielle Manor. However, at midnight, Yae made an attempt to visit Priscilla's room, as she was an assassin who had been tasked to kill her supposed mistress. She was stopped by Al, and after losing to him in a short-lived fight, she decided to “resign” due to “familial matters”.

A while after the undead incident, Priscilla encountered Heinkel at a bandit town near the Barony of Barielle. Heinkel had found himself in the bandit den, to try and recover an opaque silver cup which was rumored to cure any incurable diseases when drank from, causing him to believe it was capable of awakening his sleeping wife. He cut down all of the bandits in the den, before Priscilla restrained him. However, the cup turned out to be just a dud. After Priscilla correctly identified he had been there for the cup, she burned it in front of him. Just as she was about to leave, Heinkel gave her an offer. Heinkel offered that he could do something about the whelp who was Reinhard's mistress. Thus, he gave his backing to Priscilla and in return asked that if she were to become king, to let him get his hands on the blood of the Dragon, which was kept in the castle. He asked it because he needed a miracle to get Louanna to awake, which resulted in an alliance between them.
