I'M REINCARNATED AND I CAN'T BE HURT
THE PAST EDRIC II

EDRIC POV

"First prince."

I smiled at the lady-in-waiting who was guarding the empress' palace. "Is mom sick again?"

"Lately he's had a headache. Your Majesty, if I may speak-the empress is disappointed that you handed the position of crown prince to Prince Isak."

"Then, I let you send a child to the battlefield?"

"But the emperor couldn't possibly send the second prince into battle, it was just a bluff so you could go to the battlefield."

Ah, I forgot that part, but what do they expect from a twelve-year-old? Thinking more wisely?

"Empress."

I ventured to talk to my mother.

"Sorry, I made my own decision. I just want to protect the sun in the empire, please don't be angry. I'll send you as many letters as possible so you don't worry."

I waited to get an answer from my mother, there was no answer. Sure oes.

"First prince."

I sighed and walked away from the empress' palace, then went to the emperor's palace.

"First prince, the emperor is gone."

"Where?"

"You can go with the other troops, there's no need to wait for the emperor."

I'm speechless. Of course, what can I expect from dad?

I left the emperor's palace and then unconsciously stepped foot towards the queen's palace. While passing through the garden, I saw the sight of the emperor and queen clapping their hands while Isaac was reciting a poem.

Suns.

Isak's smile was the sun for the empire.

Both my hands clenched.

"First prince?"

I turned around and saw one of the young nobles of my age, handing over an iron helmet.

"If you want to protect the empress, you must be strong."

This is the first time anyone has ever advised me.

"Who's your name?" my many.

"Zoe."

"It looks like you're royalty, why go to war?"

"What can I do? Of course get money for twin brothers."

"What?"

"My sister is very sick and needs a lot of money, I replaced my cousin and got a lot of money. Now my sister is hospitalized and I'm calm because they take care of her."

"Are you sure they'll take care of your sister?"

"Of course, if they're lying. I'll haunt liars for life."

"Hm."

This time I was determined not to be weak anymore, Zoe could protect her sister, why couldn't I?

I walked out of the palace, left a burden on my heart and prayed to the god to protect Empress Helcia.

"Tu-wait a minute!"

Before riding on horseback, I saw a little boy running towards our troops without fear.

The boy gasped for breath and handed me a necklace with his tiny hands.

I pointed to myself to be sure. "Me?"

"Are you not the first prince? Wrong huh? You see the first prince's coat of arms."

"This necklace belonged to my mother, and she said it could protect. I've been protected and blessed, it's the first prince's turn."

"You?"

"My name is Daniela Vilvred." Daniela bowed a glance and then started to complain. "Hurry and grab the necklace before you get caught."

"Did you steal it?"

Daniela little shook her head. "No, it belongs to my mother. I got married again and handed over my stuff to my new mom. I took the necklace because it was for me. First prince, mother in heaven will definitely protect you."

"Why did you think of giving it to me?" I was wearing a titanium necklace with a rectangular pendant and there was the name of the god Helcia. "Can I wear it?"

Daniela waved so I could crouch down, unconsciously obeying.

"Mother said, the necklace was given by the temple priest and was already blessed. Gold is indeed the epitome of Helcia's solar wealth but it's no match for the ruler." Daniela's whisper in Edrik's ear. "Gold is easily destroyed and brittle if not taken care of properly, but not everyone knows about caring for gold, they only know how to get gold."

"Then what is this necklace made of?"

"Titanium."

"Titanium?"

"Yes, mother wrote it in the diary that the necklace was very strong and indestructible, suitable for a ruler like a crown prince."

I laugh. "I'm no longer the crown prince, better give it to Isaac."

"You're not the crown prince?"

"No, I'll return this necklace."

Daniela shook her head. "No, the goods that have been given, can not be taken back. Just bring it to get a blessing."

I'm standing. "I'll take good care of him."

Daniela nodded then waved her hand when the troops were gone.

"I'm sorry, no one's driving our troops away. Only little girls drive us." Mumbles.

"One day someone will welcome you, the first prince. It is far better that only one person welcomes us than many."

I laughed at Zoe's romantic lines, completely unsuitable for her large body.

But I was curious.

Would I be given such an opportunity by a god?

-------------

A few years later, after years on the battlefield and occasional return to the empire without anyone knowing, I decided to obey the orders of the empress and Daniela.

"First prince, did I not mishear? You're going to disappear for a while? Where do you want to hide?" Zoe became worried when she heard Edrik's crazy idea.

Zuu, whose body has begun to improve, decides to go with his twin brother, loyal to the first prince. "The queen gave the order."

"Empress? Wh why? Are you afraid of the Emperor?" Zoe did not understand. "Isn't it good to show the emperor that you're better than him?"

"If I show it blatantly, the emperor must be angry. Leave it alone, I obey the empress' orders. Tell me the fake news that I went missing after getting into skull town."

"If you declare it, then war on an enemy country is not your job." Zoe didn't like my idea.

"If I am lost in an enemy country, the emperor will find a way to attack and search for me until he can. I don't want to involve innocent people."

"What the first prince said was true, Zoe. It is better to be silent and hidden than to meet the emperor and his minions."

Zoe can't argue anymore if Zuu has already intervened.

Zoe was forced to send a letter to the emperor regarding the disappearance of the first prince, the result was predictable. Emperors and queens were increasingly keen to establish the position of their sons, while empresses chose to confine themselves in rooms to pray for the safety of the first prince.

Zuu checks the letter his twin brother made.

I held onto the necklace Daniela gave me while staring at the map. Soon I arrived at the empire, looking at the glass ball, it seemed like he was still childish.

As he said, titanium necklaces are different from gold. It is indestructible and only certain people wear and take care of it.

During the war, it seemed like the gods were always with me. Is it thanks to this necklace?

I took a long breath.
