As a princess of the kingdom, I want to protect this kingdom too, and joined the battle. but yet, the scene before me froze my feet.
Terrifying battlefield.
Terrifying numbers of enemies.
Terrifying demons.
Our kingdom’s soldiers are only 100,000, while our opponent had more than 10 times ours. But even so, we don’t have any option but to stand with our shivering legs and hold our position. We have our home to protect.
I clench my fists as strong as I could as I remember how other kingdoms rejected our offer of alliance.
The battle started with powerful magic from the enemy’s side.
How much time had passed?
How many soldiers had we lost?
How big is our chance to win?
Too many questions that I have yet already know the answers.
As the blood of the demons spilled all over my body. My emotion as a human starts to fade away once more. Even though that man had helped me and made me more human.
(I wonder how’s he doing?)
I swing my sword, cast my spell, and kill every enemy I encounter.
“We. Are never meant to live happily, aren’t we?”
As if my feet had just entered the sea of darkness, my eyes started to lose its light. I couldn’t see any light of hope, only despair, and death.
Slowly, surrendering my body to the depth of despair.
No one will help us.
No one will fight for us.
He.
He will not help me.
But before my head entered the sea of despair inside my consciousness, a war horn appears from an unknown side, pulling my body back from the sea of despair, preventing me from sinking.
The war horn sounded so majestic. As if I could feel the strength and spirit of their army.
“Reinforcements?”
“Enemy’s?”
“No, they’re pushing the demons backward,”
A red flag with four images on four sides of the flag.
“Men, advance,” A familiar voice sounded at my ears. A voice that so calm and so reliable, I could felt warm and relax just by hearing his voice. His voice sounded as clear as a river, not loud, yet everyone heard the voice.
“Let’s make the demons regret defiling our world,” He ordered his army.
“Attack!!!” One of his generals shouted, his army roared with a roar that shook the battlefield. As if the demons got overwhelmed by their momentum, some of them flee because of them.
Looking at the fleeing demons, our army’s morale raised to the pinnacle.
“Ren!” I called out the name of the man that in this world, maybe only him that can form a smile in my face.
As my heart filled with a warm feeling, I feel that I want to pause this moment and stare at him all the time.
But yet, the reality is cruel.
!!!
Putting my hands on my head, I let out a heavy sigh.
“It’s just a dream, huh…”
As usual, I take a bath and prepare for the day. Using a usual princess attire that easiest to move with, I get out of my room and meet my very first friend.
“Mary,”
Mary, Mary Estranbelle. The very first maid that accompanies me since I’m still six years old. We’re at the same age so we became friends easily, despite me having a troublesome personality, Mary still loyally accompany me whenever I go.
“Princess, the breakfast is ready~,” Mary said cheerfully.
“Geez. You should just call me Sera when there’s only both of us, you know?” (Sera)
“This is my pride as a professional maid, my dear princess~ As the first maid that serves you, I need to show that I’m better than the other maids!” (Mary)
“Full of energy like always, huh,” (Sera)
“Of course! I’ve eaten my breakfast, after all! That’s why you need to eat too, princess! Let’s go!” Mary pulled my hand.
The breakfast tasted as usual.
Eating breakfast like this made me remember the days when I still study at the magic academy. Peace and fun. Under his leadership, it felt as if we could face anything.
“Whoa. Sera. Breakfast,” A familiar flat voice suddenly sounded from behind me.
“Edry, sneaking inside the castle is a bad habit, you know?” I lecture my friend for sneaking inside the castle.
“It’s fine, a crime is not a crime as long as we don’t get caught,” She answered with a mischievous answer yet a flat tone and a flat expression.
“Is that another Ren’s words?” (Sera)
“Yup. His life’s leisureliness is a bliss for me. I’ll follow his way of life as my life’s guide,” (Edreale)
“Lady Edreale! Since when do you enter the castle!?” Mary that just returned from taking some desserts for me exclaimed in surprise when she saw Edreale lying at the couch.
“Ah. Mary. Please keep this a secret from the guards, okay? It’s troublesome if they knew, they’ll lecture me for hours,” (Edreale)
“B-but if you got caught, I’ll be the one who’ll get lecture by them, you know?” (Mary)
Since Ren’s disappearance, we couldn’t help but get even closer to each other. Even Edreale and me that used to dislike each other, start to get closer and become best friends.
(Well we’re the only girls in the group, after all) (Sera)
“It’s fine, Mary. If we got caught, I’ll tell them that Edry appear by my summons,” (Sera)
“But princess!” (Mary)
“It’s fine. By the way, Edry. How’re the others doing?” (Sera)
“They’re good, I guess. Sen’s still focusing on honing his sword skills even stronger. Alfred big bro’s getting more cunning and had subjugated lots of wild mercenary guilds and merge them with ours. With Peter’s help, the mercenary guild had grown very big,” (Edreale)
“Albus’s belly didn’t change, big and fluffy as always. The headmaster had decided to make Albus replace his position soon. But because of the appearance of all kind of heroes in every kingdom at the continent, the headmaster felt that it might be dangerous if he handed it to Albus for too soon,” (Edreale)
“Heroes…” I mutter the word that started to become everyone’s topic of conversation since a year ago.
“Yes. Heroes. A year ago, the holy church announced that the world will have heroes that have extraordinary abilities and help humanity defeat the demons. The news brought the world into an uproar,” (Edreale)
“Yeah, because of that news, a country that has the so-called heroes will be feared by others and possess a great influence in the world. Knowing that fact, every kingdom at the continent choose their heroes on their own, preventing the church from officially declare who’s the heroes are,” (Sera)
“Despite the danger ahead of us, the fear of losing their authority and power is far bigger than their fear towards the demons. Those greedy bastards…” (Sera)
“Well, if Ren’s here, he probably says “Demons, huh. Let’s finish them off ourselves!” Indifferently as if the words he just said are nothing,” (Edreale)
“True, he’s a strange battle maniac,” I couldn’t help but have a smile formed on my face.
“By the way, h-have you found the royal knight that… You’re searching for…?” I don’t know why, but I’m curious and want to ask her the question even though it’s quite sensitive. As the princess of the kingdom, I felt that I bear some of the responsibility of the incident.
“We’ve found him, and he had taken into prisoner by big bro Alfred. But it’s just one of them. We’re still progressing on searching for his other comrades,” I notice some changed in her face when she said it.
“I see…” (Sera)
Tap!
“Eh? Edry?”
Edreale suddenly holds my hands.
“it’s not Sera’s fault, so it’s okay. It’s impossible to prevent such bad guys doing bad deeds anyway, Sera didn’t do anything wrong,” Edreale tries to comfort me, what a sweet girl.
“Thanks, Edry. So? Does stealing my breakfast is your only reason for sneaking inside the castle?” (Sera)
“Yea. I’m sorry to give you a piece of bad news on such a good morning. But this news can’t wait,” (Edreale)
“Alfred’s order?” (Sera)
“Yea, we’ve found a fresh traces of some demons. I’m afraid another war with those demonic creatures will occur once more,” (Edreale)
Hearing the news from Edreale, I couldn’t help but remember the dream that I just had last night. The warmth that I felt when I saw his figure inside my dream appear once more inside my chest.
(Ren… What exactly happened to you…?) (Sera)
