Princess In Another World: New Story
35
“I'm glad you wanted to drive me.” (Lion)
“Sorry because I held back earlier.” Iona and Iona are on their way to Guil's collar, Iona's stuff is on a horse-drawn carriage and it'll be up in 3 days.
“No problem, the important thing is that you drive me. That's enough.” Iona hugged me tightly. “Thanks.”
A few hours after that.
We arrived around the kingdom of Guil.
And as usual, we came down quite far from the kingdom. “Hmmm, okay. Let's go.”
“You're not back?” (Lion)
“Which may I leave you alone in a foreign kingdom, I will accompany you until the registration time is over and after that I will just go home.”
“So, thanks.”
We walked towards the Guil kingdom.
After a long walk we finally reached the main gate.
“Excuse me, we are from the kingdom of Thorwn.”
“Thorwn Exposure? What do you need to do here?”
“Hmmm, to follow the entrance exam of magic academy.”
“So, then please come in.”
“Thanks. By the way 3 days after this there will be a horse carriage from Thorwn kingdom, it is our luggage. Please allow them to enter.”
“Huh? What are you two here to use?”
“Naga.”
“J-don't joke.”
“I'm not kidding, if you don't believe me. DRAVIN!!” I screamed to call his name.
“Hah, don't lie to us..”
GROAAARR.
Dravin's roar boomed and sounded loud enough to get here. “True’i no lie, oh yes besides that. I also have this.” I took out a special merchant card. “In this way, we can enter’.”
“Y-ya.” Despite the confusion, the guard soldiers let us in.
In the kingdom of Guil.
“Suasa is not much different from the kingdom of Thorwn.” At least that was my first impression of this government.
“Ari, how about we find a place to stay first?”
“Good.”
A while later.
We found an inn.
“Emmm, 1 room for a couple, yes. You will get discounted discounted fee, this is your room.”
“P-pair?!” (Lion)
“Not’kah?”
“T-no, we are a couple, yes we are a couple.”
In room.
“So this, yes the room. But the mattress is only one though so quite it's big.”
“You don't have to force yourself.”
“I'm not forcing myself’kok, I'm just being happy.”
“So.”
“Ari, what's up? Why do you keep looking out the window? Is there something?”
“Ahh, no, it's okay don't you think.”
“So, wah see there is a bathroom as well and also quite large. This inn is indeed luxurious, I like it.”
“If you like it it's good.”
“Ari, how about we take a walk.”
“Streeting, yes.”
“Ayo.” Iona pulled me and took me out.
A while after that.
“Waaah, look. There are many special foods that only exist in this kingdom.”
“If you want you can buy anything you want.”
“Really?”
“Iya.”
“Assyik, then.” We went and tried some of the typical foods in this kingdom.
Thereafter.
“Wooaahhh, look at it I've never seen it before.”
“Cannon, yes.” A giant cannon, likely for the defense of the kingdom, but judging from its structure it seems to have been unused and become a display only.
“Can?”
“Iya, it can shoot iron balls very quickly.”
“Same as your magic rifle?”
“Yes, at least how it works the same. But, what was thrown was the differentiator.”
“Hooo, young man. I didn't know you knew this royal protective cannon.” An old man came and suddenly joined the conversation.
“Growing royal protector?” (Lion)
“Yes, this cannon has often protected this kingdom from all kinds of attacks, ranging from enemy attacks and dragons. But at this time this cannon has been damaged and no one can fix it anymore, the person who made it has long died.”
“So, so because it can not be repaired anymore so he was used as a display.”
“Iya. It was also as a tribute to the maker who had already made such a great weapon.”
“Oh yes, I heard this kingdom is known as the kingdom of witches.”
“Ahh, that is true. The one who made this was the one who managed to teach magic to some people, and to date this kingdom has a greater number of witches than other ape. This kingdom is safe today. Everyone who possessed magic wanted to study here in order to improve their abilities, but the selection was very strict. It takes great strength and also perfect control to get into the magic academy, therefore not many can enter the magic academy.”
“B-so.” Hearing the explanation from this grandfather Iona became moody.
“Calm down, haven't you been practicing all this time, you can definitely get through it. I'm sure you can get through it easily, you just have to believe in yourself.”
“Nona, you have a pretty big mana compared to your guy. I think that's enough.”
“See, this grandfather also said so..” But, that's where I feel confused. “You can also feel magic?”
“Hahahaha, it's been a long time since I've used it, I'm not sure if I can use magic now. But, if only sense mana it's a very easy thing.”
“So.”
“By the way, son, where yours looks so different than I've seen in my entire life.”
“Huh? Different?”
“Yes, which stream do you have, which type do you have and also which aura do you emit. Everything was different than people who had magic in general. And most importantly, I don't see how much mana you can accommodate or can say which one you have is unlimited.”
“I-it's great.” (Lion)
“I don't know how something like this happened. But take it easy, I'm the one who can keep a secret, you don't have to worry about that young man. Besides at this old age I can still see something I have never seen before, if I die now I will die peacefully.”
“T-thank you, and if you can don't die.”
“Hahahaha, you two are indeed a suitable couple. I pray for the happiness of you both. Then, I'm allowed to go, see you again, young couple. Hahahaha.”
“Excited parents.” (Lion)
“Iya.” I don't know what to respond to it, but the old man was very kind.
“As far as you go, I'll come.”
“Then..”.
Nightfall.
“Haaaa, tiring.”
“Ari, the waiter said dinner is ready? Do you want to eat or shower first or in ri k..”
“Haaaa, I want to go for a while. If you want to eat, just eat first there's something I have to do.”
“B-so, yes. Eh? (shocked)”
---
“Hey, who told you and what is your destination?” Using light magic to teleport, I was immediately behind the suspicious person who had been watching us since I got here. I pointed my magic rifle at him to make him even more intimidated.
There was no response. “Hooo, you know, this gun can kill you fast lo. Only with once ‘Dor’ you will die.” Hearing the threat made him swallow. “Still want to shut up? Or talk?”
“A-I..” A knife stuck his neck.
“Cih...” Someone threw a knife and it got him killed instantly. “You're ruthless too, killing your fellow comrades.” I saw 2 men with closed claws on top of this housing. Without even speaking after doing so, they left. “Haaaa, stop. Time to go back.” They're not just 2, but I'm sure they're more than that. If you fight 2 you can still, but if it's more than that I don't have a chance. Aside from my attack magic that takes time, the magic rifle also takes time to fill up the bullets even though it only takes a few seconds but in battle every second it is worth it.
In inn.
“Ari, what magic did you use just now?!” His eyes were bright and looked very curious. “You suddenly disappeared, what is teleportation magic?”
“Iya, it is light magic. Teleportation.”
“H-great, you can also use the same magic as sister Risa.”
“Yes, because he taught me.”
“Then, what did you do earlier, why suddenly use teleportation magic?”
“Nothing, I thought seeing someone suspicious.”
“Then?”
“Yes, it turns out it's just a mouse.”
“So. Oh yeah, I've taken food for you just now it's on the table.”
“Thank you, but I'm not hungry. I'm so tired today, a lot has happened today and I'm so tired.” I slowly started to close my eyes. “Good sleep.”
\=\=\=
“Ari? Ari's? He's asleep, yes.” He fell asleep very quickly, I'm sure he was very exhausted today. “So this food is not needed, yes.” I took it and turned it into a kitchen, then went back to the room. “Haaa, sleep right.” I fixed his sleeping position so as not to take up much space.
A few moments later.
“Hmmm, this is better. Ahhh, I want to shower first, I was sweating earlier. But, my shirt is just this.” All the clothes I was carrying were on horse carts, and it was still 2 days before it got here. If you don't shower. “Already, just do it.” I took a shower to keep my body clean.
In the bathroom.
I am soaking up and enjoying this evening in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
“Haaaaa, I didn't expect to sleep on the same bed as Ari. All this time even though I often sleep in his room, but he always sleeps in a chair when there is still a place for him to sleep in a mattress, but tonight and 6 nights later I can sleep on the same mattress.” I don't know why thinking about it makes my heart beat. “T-no-no, I need to keep calm. But. Ahhhh, a-a-what am I thinking. Remember, I am a princess I must be able to maintain my dignity. But, if being with him I am not. AHhhhh, w-why do I think of such a thing.” Even so, I knew that Ari would never do such a thing she always took care of me, yes though if she gets drunk she will get out of control but she never does anything other than this kiss.
I touched a kiss on my neck. “Tanda, yes.” A sign that I belong to her, this sign will not disappear no matter what. Hearing that from the Goddess made me happy, because I was already hers but in fact. I never get more attention than I want, I want to be pampered by him but because he's always busy with his job I can't ask for anything like that, besides if I ask for something like that I'm afraid that she thinks I'm a bad girl, I don't want her to think I'm that kind of girl.
Long enough after that I finished.
“My inner palace is dirty, but if I don't use it. Ahhh, it's true that Ari also won't dare to do such a thing so no problem. Tomorrow I can buy a new one for me to use. Then.” I rushed to the bed, but.... “A-what is this?!” I don't feel brave to do this. “T-just relax, I'm pretty sure Ari won't do anything bad. I'm very sure.”
After deciding for a while, I decided to go to bed immediately. ‘I hope nothing happens, I hope nothing happens.’
A few minutes after that.
“A-Ari..” Her hand touched me. I tried to take it off, but... “E-ehhhh!!” I ended up being hugged by him. ‘T-too close.’ This is the first time I've seen his face this close. “Ahhh~... A-what did you touch it.” He touched my back, because I didn't wear *********** I felt the warmth of his hand directly. “H-stop... Ari, wakeup.” Just as I said that, he opened his eyes. And I was silent because of it. But…
As soon as we moved, to where the cannons were.
“Ari..”.
“Cih, fortunately I had time if a little late might be critical.”
“Ari, what's up?”
“T-no, it's nothing. Sorry for interrupting your sleep.”
“T-it's okay, but what really happened?”
He told me what really happened.
“So, but what is their true purpose? Why are they after us?”
“Once, I don't know either. For a while we'll stay here until they're gone, I'm lazy to fight them at night. You're fine’kan, you're not cold’an.”
“I'm fine, it's just.”
“Only?”
“T-it's okay.” I can't say that my lower body is cold, it's embarrassing.
“Oh yes, I felt something soft. Do you know?”
“E-plump, m-maybe just your feeling alone.”
“So’kah?”
“I-iya, after all you’kan had fallen asleep, so maybe it's just your feeling.”
“Hmmm, could be. By the way, are your legs shaking? Are you okay?”
“A-I'm fine.” A chill started coming in through the skirt I was wearing, and it made me cold. But I'm too embarrassed to say it.
“Hmmm, wait a minute.” He took a coat from his dimensional space and wrapped it around my lower body. “Hmmm, if not mistaken like this. Hows it? Is it better?”
I felt warmer, my body became warmer. “Iya, what is magic?”
“Iya, I learned it before. Yeah I didn't expect something like this to be useful at a time like this.”
“T-thanks.”
After a long time.
“Hmmm, looks like they're gone now. Come back.”
“Ya.” Using teleportation magic, in just a matter of seconds we had already arrived at the inn.
“Iona, you can sleep in bed, I'll sleep here.”
He did it again, he kept away from me. If it is like this, it means that this mark is completely useless. He's still away from me. “A-Ari, k-you can t-sleep here, with me.”
“Eh?! No-no, it's too fast, after all.”.
“I beg..”.
“Haaa, okay. But for this time only, yes.”
“Thanks.” Although it sounds selfish but he granted it, it makes me happy.
We can finally sleep in the same bed.
“Ari, can hold my hand.”
“You were asking a lot, yes.” Although it sounded a little pushy, he did.
“Thank you, I've obeyed all my selfishness. I'm happy that you're taking me here, and I'm glad that you're with me. Thanks.”
“I'm just worried, even though I told the squad leaders and also the assassins to come along to take you I'm still worried about other things.”
“With anything else?”
“Yes, like tonight. I don't know what their purpose is, but I'm sure the commanders and assassins won't be able to do much if they can't get into the kingdom to protect you. Therefore I am worried.”
“Thank you for worrying about me.” The other hand touched my face gently. “Ari.”
“Ya?”
“Give me a kiss good night.”
“Today you asked a lot, yes.” He kissed me, right with me.
“Thank you, this way maybe I can sleep well. Ari, good night, I love you.”
My first day in the new kingdom with Ari was very pleasant, but I only had 6 more days left before I parted with him. I wanted to make memories with him so that I wouldn't forget him, and that longing would be healed just by remembering him.
