I looked in the mirror and at the chainmail that now covered my body. The maids were preparing me for the upcoming raid tomorrow as they placed and packed all the needed items in my bag.
For now, we’re supposed to head for the camp that was set up for all the individuals involved to gather.
That was why I was troubled when I had to wear chainmail over my shirt because it is not like we are going to war right away.
“Princess, what do you think?” Keela, one of my maids, asked.
“I feel like all I need now is one of those belts for belly dancing to complete the set.” I said because every time I move, I could hear it rattling.
And it was annoying.
Nate and I headed for the larger tent in the area. He told me that it was where all the royals are supposed to gather for the briefing.Nate opened the tent for me go to inside, but before I could even enter, I heard two familiar voices behind me. “I almost cried. You look so much more independent compared to the last time that we saw you. I just hope that you really are what you look like from the outside.”It was Custard who first reacted. He lets out a howl and ran behind me. ‘Master Ren!’I turned just in time to see Ren picking Custard up on the ground as Custard showered him with adoring kisses. The twins were humbly wearing plain shirts like what we usually wore in training. And judging by the looks on their faces, I can only guess that t
I woke up early the next day as we all started to prepare ourselves. But I, on the other hand, woke up especially early because I wanted to make sure that everything was settled. Plus, I was getting nervous about all of this as well that I just can’t get a few more minutes of a shut-eye. I already have my shirt, chainmail, vest, trousers, and boots on. Now, I was contemplating wearing the gloves that Eltur and Darem gave me, but I decided against it as it would only hinder my grip on my whip. As I got out, I noticed that Nate was outside of his tent as well and just doing a few stretches. He must have heard me stepping out because he looked back with a tired and nervous smile on his face. “Hey. Good morning, Rose.” He greeted me. “Morning, Nate.” I greeted his back as I held the tent open for Custard and
‘Princess, focus!’ I felt Viex slumping down when the supply of magic that I was giving him was cut off. In that brief moment of weakness, a few rogues were able to catch on and started targeting us instead. I got down from Viex as he was still trying to recover from the unstable magic. Custard and I managed to handle a few of them with our backs facing Viex to protect him. ‘Princess, behind you!’ Viex yelled as a warning. When I looked back, I saw a leopard pouncing at me. Custard blocked its path but the leopard didn’t fully reach us when a hood figured appeared, landed on the leopard’s back in midair, and plunge his blade to its neck. As they both landed on the ground, Ace took his hood and pulled me until I w
Everyone was quiet as we all let the information sink in. When I thought about it, it all made sense now. Luke was the one that we were looking for. The only thing is, he is not exactly a traitor, just controlled by something that he cannot fight.“Hang on, who attacked Luke in the greenhouse?” I asked. “I mean, the place was basically a mess.”“He did that to himself,” Stella says. “As soon as he realized that Ferius was looking and hearing events of what was happening, he put himself to sleep to purposely stop Ferius from knowing of our plans. But upon realizing this, Ferius tried to take control over him. That was why the dose of the sleeping potion that he took was too much as to put him in a temporary coma.”“I see.” Ace and I exchanged a look.
“Ow!”“Camille?” I gasped as soon as I saw the fairy princess emerging from under my bed with a swollen eye from my hit. Can’t say I don’t regret it. “What are you doing here? And why are you in my room?” I demanded.“Give me that!” Camille charged at me with her eyes fixed on the chalice.“Hey! What are you doing?” I moved my hand back, the one that was holding the chalice as Camille continued to charge at me with a crazy look in her eyes.“That’s what they wanted, right? Just give it to them!” She yelled at me and attempted to grab it this time with flames igniting from her hands.“You don’t even know what this is. Ba
“LOOK OUT!” Ace came forward and shielded me. In the process, Ace’s arm got a second-degree burn. Ace winced in pain as he immediately removed the sleeve on that particular arm.“No…” I whispered. Horrified at what I saw. Then I turned to glare murderously at Camille. “It was you, wasn’t it? You set him free!”Instead of looking guilty, Camille had a crazed look in her eyes. “Nate is mine. He is mine. If it weren’t for you then I would have become his queen!”“Nate and I are not in that kind of relationship!” I told her. “And he doesn’t belong to anyone!”But as hard as I tried to convince her, it seemed like Camille couldn’t hear any of it as she just screa
****2 Years Later in The Human Realm****I was bouncing on my toes as I waited for my teammate to pass me the baton. I was already at a pretty slow pace in order for her to be able to hand it over to me.“Please, Rose. Hurry!” My teammate pleaded with me.I gave her a reassuring smile as I got the baton in my hands and began to run. My mind focused on my own path. As soon as the wind hit my face, nostalgia suddenly hit me and I feel as if I was running in a different with different people. One was a red-head and the other one was a brunette.Despite the crowd in the background, all I could hear were the cheers of these two imaginary men.‘Go on, Rose. You can do it.’
The guy lets out a scream as his other friend pulled him away from the stranger, who was now standing in front of me as if shielding me from my two attackers. “Leave. Or would you like me to break your jaws and feed you that...glass thing that you are holding?”Glass thing? Does he mean the can of beer? But it’s not even GLASS!“You two aren’t moving. Would you like me to break something else?” He asked menacingly and started moving forward. The two immediately ran away in a haste the longer they continued to look at the guy.As soon as they were gone, I looked at the man warily. His back was still facing me that I can’t even tell what he looks like at the moment. “Thank you.” I blurted out.The moment I spoke,
“I see.” Sophie, the seer that I met a long time ago when I went to Hazel, laughs. “Now do you believe the prophecy?” “He is rich, I have to tell you that.” I joked and laughed along with her. Sophie has become a close advisor to King Fred. She was the last seer in the lands and is now being taken care of. “So, is my guess right?” I asked hopefully. Sophie gave me a look as she nodded. “Congratulations, Queen Rosalie. You are - ” She was cut off when Custard lets out a yelp. ‘Master master! Arcielia keeps on pulling on my tail.’ Custard whimpered as he sat on the floor with his head and ears down. “Sorry, Custard.” I said before I fixed a look at a young girl. Her hair is as dark as her father while her eyes are as blue
