Not Your Perfect Prince
Wind Prairie city

Wind Prairie City, a city not too big or small in the Green Sylph Region.

In the Star Kingdom, there were five core regions. Startears Region as Capital, Green Sylph Region, Yellow Gnome Region, Blue Undine Region, and Red Salamander Region. The four regions were named after the four main elemental spirits, who were also the traveling companions of the Legendary Witch.

Unlike normal people, or even nobles ... The Legendary Witch had four elements that she trained in. Become an extremely powerful magician while developing all four elements. A feat that no one can replicate until the present. Yes .. that's what it says in the story.

What Professor Elin asks of Reinhart is the mastery of the four elements, namely darkness, lightning, fire, and wind. However, the young man had clearly rejected such a crazy request. First, he was not a Legendary Witch. Second, he also had to train two knight methods, namely the darkness knight and the lightning knight. Clearly, the Legendary Witch had only trained her magic, so what she did was already imitating what was written in the fairy tale. Yes ... develop four paths at once.

Of course, compared to the path of magic, the path of the elemental knight was worse because it had restrictions. However, this is not without benefits.

Despite having level restrictions, elemental knights were more towards body forging and mastery of various melee techniques. That is why, the one who trains to become an elemental knight as well as a magician is called the King's path. The reason is simple, as they cover almost all weaknesses in both long-range and close-range combat.

'Two way King ...'

The thought of it made Reinhart feel a headache.

Now he did not care much about what people said. The young man chose not to make many friends just to strengthen his own upbringing. Now he was a circle 4 lightning mage, and had just taken the path of a knight. Although not long ago, perhaps because he had a good foundation, Reinhart had become a knight. What he and Professor Elin were targeting was, becoming high knights before the first semester was over. Moreover, he also had to refine the lightning magic ring that he had been building all along.

According to Professor Elin, there is a way to increase the power of the magic ring. This makes the foundation and building more solid. It's just, how to do it is rather dangerous and painful. If not for fear of the path of the lightning mage being broken or even collapsing because he was building the path of the dark mage, Reinhart would obviously not have been willing to do so.

According to Professor Elin's plan, Reinhart should be a lightning mage 4 circle + high knight (lightning). After that, he will focus on controlling the demon bloodline within him, which is to become a dark magician 2 circle + knight (darkness). After that, they will continue the exercise to the next level.

Thinking of what he had to do before the canon (main story) began, Reinhart felt a headache. It seemed, the first year she went to school would not be quiet and comfortable. The young man took a long breath. Glancing at the scene outside the window, he felt that the beautiful-looking world was not as beautiful as it seemed.

"What are you thinking, Reinhart?"

Hearing the question, Reinhart turned to the source of the voice. Staring at Aiden who asked himself, the young man replied.

"It's nothing. Is it still long?"

Yep. Now Reinhart, Aiden, Helena, Caterina, and Sophia were sitting in the carriage of the horse-drawn carriage. They were on their way to Wind Prairie City.

It has been a few days since their departure. Although the journey was quite smooth, they were not happy at all. Especially Reinhart. Although the seat was soft and the horse carriage was also fitted with various magic so it did not shake too much and the temperature in the carriage remained, the young man was still dissatisfied that he had to be trapped in a small box.

Yes ... although not so small, but she felt uneasy as Aiden continued to ramble beside her. Not to mention when there were three girls staring at them.

"Not too long. We should be here tomorrow afternoon."

"..."

Realizing that it was still noon by late afternoon, Reinhart figured their trip would still take nearly 12 hours. The reason they were long enough was obviously because they had to rest at night, then continue when the day started to brighten.

Ignoring Aiden who started babbling, Reinhart muttered inwardly.

'I hope we arrive soon and complete this mission. I'm really tired! Even before the battle!'

The next day afternoon.

"Finally ..."

Looking at the city walls, Reinhart heaved a sigh of relief. His expression looked much brighter than before.

On the way, except for Aiden who kept on babbling, maybe only Helena was excited. The girl seems to be taking note of almost everything Aiden says.

After all, during the trip, in addition to talking about some gossip, Aiden also talked about the food he liked or hated. He seemed to be more open about wanting to befriend Reinhart. Although he didn't really understand why Aiden said all that, Reinhart still listened and occasionally answered questions. Of course, Reinhart did not say much, let alone mention things about herself.

"You look excited, Rein."

"..."

Hearing Aiden's words, Reinhart was silent for a moment. Some time ago, Aiden started calling him Rein. Seemingly happy to talk to him, the blonde youth started making short calls to make it easy and quick when calling him. However, since the call was similar to Reinhart's childhood call while still in the Silver Moon Royal Palace, she did not reject it at all.

Although not too close and sometimes unlucky, Reinhart had indeed accepted Aiden as his friend. Yes ... troublesome friend.

After reporting and paying, the train cars entered the city.

There, Reinhart and her friends were immediately shown a beautiful view typical of a medieval era city. There are wooden buildings, there are also stone buildings, but most of them are already wearing red bricks and tiles. The first time he saw, Reinhart felt he was playing a VMMORPG game. However, everything turned out to be not as beautiful as he had imagined.

In the outer circle of the city, most contained old wooden buildings. Not only that, there were many beggars on the side of the road. Many parents and children are malnourished. Sitting on the side of the road, bowing their heads. Not at all daring to see the beautiful train passing by.

Usually, if the nobles or merchants were dissatisfied from feeling their eyes hurt when they saw the beggars, those people asked the knights to drag the beggars away. Some even ended up beaten.

As a transmigrator, Reinhart who previously lived in the modern world could only sigh deeply. According to him, although the beggars in his previous life were many, but their condition was not as severe as what he saw now. Perhaps it was because he had fused with Reinhart's physique and mind, when he saw those people.

Looking towards Aiden and the three girls, Reinhart understood that they seemed to have gotten used to it.

In any kingdom, the case of many beggars was common. Most of them were villagers who lost their jobs as farmers. Either it was due to the waves of wild beasts, pests, or it might not be able to pay taxes. After all, in an era like this, the tax on renting land was already very high. You could say, almost all of the farmers' produce was given to the city lord. Just a little so they can eat.

If there is an attack by wild animals, insects, or disasters in the form of drought and flooding.

Failing to harvest could starve them. Not to mention the ones with debt. Not only starving, some of them will die or become slaves.

Of course, the five great Kingdoms in the Avalon Continent were better off. After all, the five great empires stood firm from generation to generation. Unlike the small kingdom that only depends on a few figures. Like the Star Kingdom, even though it used to have a Legendary Witch ...

That time is over. Making a small kingdom less independent will be getting down year by year.
