Transmigrated as a Ghost

Looking around the flower garden Marcus saw that there were a number of roses at the entrance, all with vibrant colors and sweet smells.

Examining each if the different roses Marcus found that depending on the color, they had a different smell.

Then once Marcus had gotten his fill of looking at the roses, the two of them headed deeper into the flower garden and Marcus soon heard the soft trickle of water, before they came out into an area with a large fountain in it.

Within the fountain there were plenty of water lilies floating on the top, and a few koi like fish swimming within.

"Ah this used to be one of my favorite spots to read. It is quite tranquil and peaceful and allows you to forget all of your worries. You can really get engrossed into a good book here." Mrazivý said with a nostalgic smile.

Seeing this Marcus pulled a book out of his item box and said, "Here how about we take a few minutes and read this book together. I have not gotten to it yet, but I am sure we will enjoy it."

Sitting down on the edge of the fountain Marcus and Mrazivý began reading the book, that Marcus had pulled out that was called Tuknuk Hero of the North.

It was a comedic book about a hero named Tuknuk and his misadventures with his beast companions and party members that seemed to always get kidnapped by the story's antagonist.

It certainly was not a deep or thrilling read, but it was funny with how nonsensical it was, and a number of times had both Marcus and Mrazivý laughing out loud.

However, after they had been reading the book for around forty minutes another person entered the flower garden and from the entrance, they both heard, "Your Highness please do not run, you are going to hurt yourself."

Then the saw the silhouette of a person running backwards as she said, "I will be just fine, no need to worry Sir Hinsen."

Except a moment after the young girl who had just appeared said this, she clipped against the corner of one of the flower beds and twisted around, before falling over face first.

The girl began crying as she registered the injuries she received and as she sat up Marcus could see that she had scraped up her hands and legs which were bleeding.

Standing up abruptly Mrazivý began running towards the little girl and Marcus followed suit.

"Eis are you okay." Mrazivý said with concern for the little girl that had just fallen.

"Here let me take care of it." Marcus said as he bent over and cast a healing spell on Eis.

"Minor Cure."

Using the tier one healing magic spell, Marcus quickly fixed up the young princess' injures, and as he was a man who was certainly the girls guardian knight ran up to them.

"Your Highness are you al-"

Coming out into the opening where the fountain was Eis' guardian knight noticed Marcus and Mrazivý and stopped abruptly.

"Princess Mrazivý and Lady Irene?!" Sir Hinsen said bewildered as to why they were here.

Looking at Eis' guardian knight Marcus was certain he had seen him somewhere but could not place him immediately.

'Who was this guy again… Ah he is one of Lilia's friends' father, Sir Hansen I think.'

Having already finished healing princess Eis' injuries, Marcus helped her stand back up and said, "Good to see you again Sir Hansen. This must be the princess you are in charge of protecting. She took a bit of a fall but I already cast a healing spell on her so she should be fine."

Marcus then nudged Eis back over towards Sir Hinsen and Mrazivý who was next to Marcus whispered over to him and said, "You know him?"

Nodding his head Marcus whispered back and said, "Yeah, he is one of my sister's friends' fathers. I met him once before when we all got together once."

"Well then I thought you might want to know that his name is Sir Hinsen not Hansen."

Realizing his blunder Marcus looked at Sir Hinsen to see if his misremembering his name had upset him, but he was currently busy, looking over princess Eis to make sure she did not have any hidden injuries.

'Whew safe. Looks like he did not notice because of how distraught he was.'

Letting out a sigh of relief Marcus was happy that his name slip was not caught.

"Thank you, Princess Mrazivý and Lady Irene, for coming to Princess Eis' aid. Sometimes I can lose track of her when she goes running of like that." Sir Hinsen said as he bowed towards them.

Following that Eis gave a small curtsy and said, "Thank you for your help elder sister, and Lady Irene."

"Oh, it is no problem, of course I would come to help my cute little sister. Anyway, Eis we are not in a formal setting so you can call me Mrazivý like you used to."

At that Eis perked up and ran over to give Mrazivý a hug, showing a bit of sisterly affection.

'She reminds me a bit of Lilia. I guess they are the around the same age and she has brown hair just like her.'

Looking at princess Eis hugging Mrazivý, Marcus could not help but think about his little sister who he had not seen for a while since she had returned to school.

'Wait brown hair?'

Thinking about it carefully for a minute this was the first time Marcus had seen a member of the royal family without their signature blue hair.

However, as he looked closely, he noticed that while Eis' hair was mostly brown it did have a few highlights of blue within it.

When Eis had gotten enough affection from Mrazivý she came up to Marcus and once again thanked him for healing her and making the pain go away.

"So are you part of my sister's adventuring party." Eis asked as she titled her head.

"No, me and Mrazivý are friends. Though we did meet as adventures for the first time."

Hearing this Eis asked Marcus and Mrazivý about the first time they had met and then about the adventures they had been on.

Yet as the young princess got up close to Marcus and Mrazivý asking them for story after story, her guardian knight Sir Hinsen said, "Princess Eis, we should not bother Princess Mrazivý and Lady Irene any further."

A sad look came over the young princess' face, but she nodded her head and walked back over to Sir Hinsen.

But Marcus seeing the excited young girl suddenly look sullen, said, "We do not mind. Mrazivý was just showing me around the atrium, but I am sure that it would be fine if you came along."

After saying that Marcus looked towards Mrazivý for conformation and she nodded her head and said, "Yeah it will be more fun with you around. If it is fine with you Sir Hinsen we would like Eis to accompany us."

"Very well if that is what you want your highness." Sir Hinsen said bowing his head.

"Yeah!" Eis shouted out happy to be able to have fun wither sister and Marcus.

"Oh, you said this was Lady Irene's first time here right big sis Mrazivý.. Then we have to show her the amethyst blossom tree."
