I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 7 King Albion
previous story:
Eva gets two days off every week. But the Duke and Diana were not there because they were back at the main headquarters. Eva gets the information that the Duke is having a conflict with the King, which is why he returns to the main mansion.
Eva learns to make golems with the help of Ren. Although she had not been able to use the precious magic crystal, Eva had already made countless golems randomly and Ren promised her that he would help her make a giant golem.
Then there was another problem when he met Vivian. Their shop was in danger as the nobles in the kingdom started to want their property rights. Denis had previously made a cooperation agreement with him. But the kingdom canceled it.

I returned to the Kano kingdom with a dazed face. I really haven't found a way out to set up my shop yet if the Kingdom of Well forbids me from selling. Should I stop selling? Arg, I don't know. I'll think about it later. They're not going to kick us out now anyway, so I still have plenty of time.
A few days passed. I haven't heard from Vivian. So it seems that for now we can only retreat if they still intend to pressure us because of the property.
But all of a sudden, when class ended, I got a call from Ricko. The boy told me that their base was being attacked by a swarm of witches. They are outnumbered and may end up in defeat. He asked for help.
I was so panicked. I want to go there to help. But how? I don't even know their headquarters. Although Ricko explained that their base was in the middle of the forest, I still could not get there quickly. It took me a while to find his place, and by the time I arrived, it was too late.
In such a state of panic, I somehow immediately thought of Ren. Ren must have known the place and he could have gotten there quickly. Honestly, I'm not good at asking Ren for help, but I'm still calling him.
"More?"
"What's wrong?"
Ren returned my telepathic signal quickly.
"Do you know where the dark witches hide?" I asked carefully.
"I know" he replied in a flat tone.
Gulp!
I held back my nervousness and asked again. "If I ask you to help someone, do you mind?"
"Who? No problem" he replied.
"Even if it's human?"
"No problem"
I sighed in relief when I heard Ren's reply. I heard that elves really don't like humans. They will never interfere in human life because they have a life of their own.
It doesn't seem like a problem to ask Ren for help. I also told him everything. I told Ren that I had a sister in another world. I didn't tell Ren about reincarnation. I just explained that I often see this little brother in my dreams. Then he came to this world as an alien sent by a god and began to be the target of everyone's hunt. The boy is currently in the dark wizard's hideout. Their hiding places opened and the witches started attacking them. They were outnumbered, so I wanted Ren to help my sister.
I didn't explain how Ren helped her. It's up to him. I don't want to demand too much. I just told Ren not to let the boy get hurt.
"All right" replied Ren. Her voice was so flat that I could not guess her emotions at all. But I guess he doesn't mind, so I feel calm.
After that, our telepathy was cut off. I just have to wait for the good news from Ren. But who would have thought that the good news would come quickly.
In just two hours, Ren called me back and said. "Done"
I jerked. "Did he survive?" i asked.
"Thank you Ren" I said solemnly with teary eyes. I won't doubt him since he's so strong. And he won't lie.
"No problem"
"Do you want something in return?" ask directly. "I will do anything to help you in the future" I said excitedly.
"Are you really going to do anything?" Ren asked.
I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable when I hear his voice. Why does it sound so bad?
Seeing Eva not answering, Ren said again with a small laugh. "I don't need him now. If I need your help, I'll call you" he said.
"alright. Thanks again"
After confirmation from Ren, I called Ricko immediately. But the boy ignored my telepathy. I was a little upset when he did it. I'm trying to think positively, he's probably busy. I'll let her call me later.
The next day, the Kano Kingdom was very busy. Because according to the information obtained, the envoy from the Kingdom of Albion will arrive today. So the palace was very busy as they wanted to welcome them as best they could. The king is also coming, although he will be back tomorrow. Unlike the messenger who will stay for a few days to talk about the cooperation relationship.
They were very earnest because they wanted to welcome a king. If only royal messengers had come, they would not have been this busy.
When I was in class, I could see the servants wandering back and forth. And so do the guards. This sight certainly caught our attention, the comers from the Kingdom of Well.
"They are preparing to welcome King Albion" the Crown Prince said proudly. "Just calm. I'll take you all to see the welcoming ceremony"
And that's true. A few minutes later we all headed to the front of the capital's gate to wait for the envoys.
They also arrived very luxurious. The horse carriage was huge and glittering. It was carried by about twelve horses in front of it. Even our family did not have a horse carriage like this.
After that there were about hundreds of cavalry soldiers escorting them from the front and back. The atmosphere looked very full as they entered. It was as if they had a war party that had just arrived. This party looks very conspicuous because maybe they brought the king in it. But to be honest, I never thought that the kingdom of Albion had such a troupe. I've been to their royal capital and I don't think that's too special.
I was curious and wanted to know more. So as the carriage started to enter the palace, I looked for a place to peek together with the other students. It was very easy, because not only we were watching, the nobles also came to the palace to watch as well.
The big train door opened. An old man came out from inside with a small stick to hold his body. A young man was also beside his left to help him stand up. It must be the king. But I didn't know the young man until the noble girl beside me shouted in surprise.
"Oh my God, it's prince Erick!"
"What about the messenger? No messengers are coming! It's shocking! The king and prince came to visit by themselves!"
So, the young man was a prince.
King Albion is a very old man, like a grandfather. Even King Well and King Kano are much younger than. I was puzzled how such an old grandfather could lead the kingdom. And why did he not leave his throne to the prince? Does he not want to take off that throne?
Although his face was already slightly wrinkled, King Albion's hair had not turned white at all. I can still see her brown hair. And his appearance gave me a very familiar taste even though it was just a general appearance of humans in this world.
King Albion walked towards the palace hall side by side with a prince. Then she accidentally saw Eva. A little girl with striking golden hair.
They looked at each other for a moment. Eva felt very familiar with the aura of the king. They had never met before. King Albion is also never described in the novel. He's not even a supporting character or anything. More precisely he never showed up. So where does this sense of familiarity and nostalgia come from?
Meanwhile, King Albion is captivated by Eva's eye color. There are many humans with eye colors that are similar to his. Just similar but not exactly the same. I don't know why the little girl's eye color is exactly like her.
They just stared at each other for a moment. Before finally King Albion turned his gaze back and entered the hall.
