12 – #12. The Princess’s Carriage (3)

The headless bodies of goblins were piled up in such a mass that it made me feel sick.

Xian, who was lightly stepping on them, had a question.

‘After all, leveling up isn’t possible…? .’

It was like that during the Battle of Griffon.

Contrary to my expectations that something strange would happen to my body if I caught the magical beast, nothing happened.

After all, a game that has become reality is no longer a game?

Ariel’s game world with no status window or level up.

Even if you use all of your game knowledge before possession, does that mean that you can only grow if your body’s proficiency follows suit? .

‘Even the trace of magical power has disappeared.’

Before I knew it, the strange magical power I felt when the goblin wave arrived had also disappeared.

During the battle, Xian realized something. After all, attacks by these abnormal demonic beasts did not occur naturally.

It was clear that someone had planned this and ran away as soon as it went wrong.

The magic that was felt was foreign, and the facial expressions and actions of the beasts were also not normal.

‘But why? The 4th princess would be outside the line of succession… Is there anything to be gained from killing him?’

I was thinking so.

“Hey, over there…” !”

Rosaria approaches her Xian and cautiously opens her mouth.

Red hair as soft as silk and a cute look.

Long inner double eyelids that create an elegant atmosphere, unlike the youthful appearance.

She, who had a beautiful appearance that I couldn’t see in detail because of her battle, lifted the hem of her dress to her Sian and bowed her head and said.

“First of all, I would like to say thank you! “My name is Rosaria di Violet, the 4th princess of the Violet imperial family!”

“Ah.”

Xian saw Rosaria and took a step back from her.

Now that she thought about it, she had spoken informally to Rosaria, whom she had first seen during her battle.

Her situation was so urgent, and because of her habits before being possessed, she looked like her younger sister, so she naturally spoke informally to her….

In this world, she herself was a child, and Rosaria was also a noblewoman higher than herself. She is also the fourth princess of the imperial family of the Lyanna Empire.

Sian was worried that her previous informal remarks might be considered lese majeste.

“… “I am Xian.”

Since she went to the same academy, she didn’t bother to mention her family name for fear of hearing about her reputation.

You might misunderstand me as a commoner.

“Xian… ! You have a wonderful name. Thank you so much for saving me! Really… If it weren’t for Sian, she would have lost her precious people….”

Tears well up in Rosaria’s eyes.

That’s right, it was a really tense situation until just now.

Her closest friend and escort, Emil, was also in danger.

The fifteen knights who were protecting them were annihilated.

It was a truly hellish time as the remaining knights were also in danger of losing their lives and almost died together.

Her Sian, who helped her break up that time, was truly her hero.

I don’t know where he came from, but he skillfully slaughters a group of goblins, runs into the camp, and takes care of the soldiers.

It turned the situation around in an instant.

But for Xian, it was a natural thing.

Help if you are in trouble.

If you have the power, it is natural to help.

That was my mindset as a member of society.

Also, a person who is as old as his younger sister is suffering… What kind of man doesn’t help?

Xian smiled brightly at Rosaria, who was crying, and said.

“I think it was the natural thing to do. “I’m glad I was of help.”

She almost patted Rosaria for a moment, but Sian held back.

“I really want to give you compensation… “Are you from the empire?”

“No. “I’m from the Duchy of Brace.”

“Ah! It’s the country right next door. I really need to talk to my father and say good things about the Duchy of Brace. I won’t forget Mr. Xian’s name!”

“It is an honor to be of help to our national religion.”

“hehehe, and by any chance…” Mr. Sian, do you attend Ariel Academy? The school uniform is the same as mine….”

“Uh….”

Xian was shocked.

She had forgotten that her school uniform was the same as Rosaria’s.

It’s difficult.

As I said before, his reputation in the Academy is abysmal.

To be exact, it was Xian’s reputation before possession… There was nothing good about being known.

She had the option of using Rosalia to ruin her own reputation, but she didn’t want to do that.

He was not a person who was obsessed with reputation, and much less did he ask for something in return.

For me, the academy is like a life insurance where I can quietly develop my strength, graduate quietly, and quietly get a job in a good place.

In order to live quietly, it was better not to create any connection between Rosaria and the Academy.

So, Xian changed the topic. With an important topic she was trying to talk about.

“Rather than that, I think that the attack by the demonic beasts earlier was deliberately staged by someone.”

“… Yes?”

“I felt a strange magical reaction nearby. “Didn’t the princess feel it too?”

“Uh… She didn’t feel anything….”

“Yes?”

Xian was puzzled.

‘… ‘She didn’t feel anything?’

It was a magical reaction so strange that it was definitely disturbing.

No matter how chaotic the situation was during the battle, there was no way Rosaria could not feel such a magical response.

‘Did the enemy hide the traces of her magical power?’

That also didn’t make sense.

Even though she hid her presence, Xian himself felt it.

In that case, there was no reason for her not to feel Rosaria, who was called a promising magic genius in the story.

If she had to feel her magical energy response that Rosaria couldn’t even feel, she was right that she had a higher level dantian than her Rosaria.

Then was she mistaken?

That wasn’t it either.

It’s definitely a magical power that’s scary enough…. She was definitely not mistaken.

That’s the question I have. It was felt by Rosaria too.

“Mr. Sian, are you a sword expert?”

“No. It’s not like that. But she definitely felt it. Doesn’t she have someone to hold a grudge against?”

“A person who will hold a grudge… ?”

Rosaria placed her hand on her chin and thought deeply.

A minute passed in silence.

Rosa Ria said, as if she couldn’t remember anything.

“I don’t think there is one. I have nothing to do with the throne… I can’t even remember. Although she does come to mind as one…. “Ah, could it be him?”

Rosalia seemed to be thinking deeply, but then she shook her head.

Who are you thinking of? Thought Sian.

If she is a person who can be said not to be, it means that she is close to that person.

A person close to Rosaria… I can’t guess anything other than Emil, the escort driver.

In the first place, Rosalia did not have many friends due to the nature of her status as a princess… So is it family?

… Family?

‘…… !’

The vision flashed.

The thought of family came to mind.

‘The Third Prince Gerard… !’

This is a villain that appears in the early Heroine Quest.

I didn’t have much interest in the heroine quest, so I forgot about it.

3Rd Prince Gerard. The main villain in the story of the protagonist’s heroine, Princess Rosaria.

He is Rosaria’s half-blood.

The 1st princess, 2nd prince, and 3rd prince are all children born from the same mother.

Among them, only the 4th princess Rosaria was an illegitimate child born from the womb of her biological mother, who was a commoner.

They are competing fiercely for the heir rank, and do not even care about the illegitimate 4th princess.

Because the child is illegitimate, the succession order is also low.

With no forces built, our strength is at an all-out low.

Even she doesn’t seem to be interested in her power in the first place.

That’s why they didn’t pay much attention to Rosaria. But Third Prince Gerard was different.

Gérard has no talent for magic.

The talent for swordsmanship is also minimal.

The 3rd prince, Gerard. Although she is said to be a swordsman, she has always felt left out compared to the 1st princess and the lower 2nd prince.

I have had a lot of feelings of inferiority and dissatisfaction since childhood.

Under such circumstances, her illegitimate daughter, Rosaria, was born with her father’s genes and a natural talent for magic.

How twisted his stomach must be.

So he has been blatantly bullying Rosaria since her childhood.

But even in the midst of such bullying, Rosaria lived her life with a steadfast smile, believing that one day he would open his heart.

‘Gérard actually wishes Rosaria would disappear from the world, but she….’

Xian felt sorry for Rosaria, who was squinting without knowing anything.

But it is none of her business.

Her life will be saved by Ariel’s true protagonist, ‘Cain’.

“… In any case, I have a feeling that someone did it on purpose. “It could be someone around you, so please pay attention.”

“Yes. Thank you for your concern…. I really realized what happened today. Even if she doesn’t want to succeed, as long as she was born as a princess for the sake of the people around her….”

Rosaria muttered to herself with her eyes full of determination, as if there had been some change in her state of mind.

Leaving behind Rosaria, who was still thinking, her cyan gazed at the rising sun.

It is already dawn after the fierce battle is over.

She went out to practice for a while and was so tired that she couldn’t sleep at all.

It’s time for the coachman and drivers to wake up.

She wanted to quickly get back to the carriage and catch up on the sleep she lacked.

“Princess. I’ll just go now. “The coachman and her family are waiting.”

“Are you going to the academy? Then come with us….”

“Thank you for your consideration. But I think I’ll leave early. “The princess will go through maintenance with the knights who suffered damage and then depart slowly.”

Rosaria looked at the guard knight Emil, who was still asleep, and the numerous knights near the carriage who were compressing their wounds with bandages.

As he said, she thought it would be difficult for her to leave right away.

“Then at least it’s a contact stitch….”

“Goodbye then! “I’ll go first!”

“Oh, now, wait a minute…” !”

Hearing the princess’s words, Xian ran without looking back.

Her legs had been strengthened by her magic and she had already disappeared quickly.

The princess, dumbfounded by Xian’s behavior, muttered while extending her hand in the direction he ran towards.

“The reward is… I have to give compensation….”

“Where have you been and where are you now, you damn bastard!”

When we returned, Sarah yelled so loudly that my eardrums were torn.

A temporary barracks arrived after rescuing the princess.

It seemed like everyone was looking for me because they were surprised that I was gone.

So the atmosphere was chaotic and when I came back everyone was looking at me with their eyes wide open.

They said it would definitely depart between morning and afternoon… It wasn’t even late.

“I came here after working out.”

“Wundoon? Undooooong??”

Sarah looked at me with an expression like, ‘How should I kill this guy?’

“Are you forgetting your identity? Don’t you know that if you suddenly disappear at dawn, you’ll naturally be found? If you’re going somewhere, you should have told me! You’re stupid?! “Are you an idiot?!”

“Uh….”

Sarah says, pressing her face towards me.

… After listening to it, I realized that Sarah had a point.

I am the son of the current duke’s head.

It would be natural to be surprised if it suddenly disappears.

No matter how urgent the situation was, I should have said something and left.

“I’m sorry… My thoughts were short. Sister.”

“Your thoughts were originally short-!”

Sarah rolls her eyes and presses her forehead against mine, grinning.

I feel her breath close by.

Well, what is it… Why do I feel so burdened today….

“… “Are you worried?”

“What?! “Eight!”

Boom!

“Oh! “Why are you hitting me?”

“Would I worry about a fool like you! “Just die!”

After that, Sarah leapt back! She turns around and walks into her carriage.

… He really has a sh*tty personality.

It’s clear that he hates me. What kind of worry is… I went crazy for a moment.

If I go to the academy, I shouldn’t even run into him.

*

Sarah muttered as she walked to the carriage after feeding Sian some honey chestnuts.

“Crazy guy… “It suddenly disappears and surprises people.”

Sarah was surprised to see Xian’s clothes soaked in sweat.

How intensely did I exercise during the early morning hours to be so covered in sweat?

I had some idea that Xian’s behavior had changed recently.

‘About the damn fat guy.’

Actually, Sian lost a lot of weight and people started making fun of her and calling her fat.

Have I really decided to stop acting like a fool?

… No. People don’t change easily.

I thought there was no way my younger brother, who had been living like a fool for 10 years, would suddenly change.

Because people don’t change very often. Sarah thought she would have to watch her future behavior.

After that, Sarah recalled what Sian had said earlier.

‘… ‘Are you worried?’

Crazy guy. Who cares?

Sarah glared at her enemy-like younger brother, Sian, who was changing his clothes.

And a moment of silence.

“… Ha.”

Sarah let out a sigh and then seemed to mutter something quietly.
