Princess In Another World: New Story
7
Tomorrow.
On a clear day.
“Hoaamm.” I got out of bed and got ready. ‘Today, yes.’ I, Iona, and Lucy have been sending permission letters to the academy to do things for some time. With the lure of royal affairs, it seemed like his permission was acceptable. “Alright, time to act.”
“Vice Commander, Commander calling you.” (Laren)
Laren suddenly came to my place. “Huh? What's up?”
“Now, it seems like there is something important the Commander wants to talk to you about. Commander is waiting for you in his room.”
“Alright, I'll see him soon.”
A while after that.
In Iona's office.
“Iona, what's up?”
“Ari, can't if you don't go to the kingdom of Victoria.”
“Eh? Why all of a sudden, Iona is there a problem?”
“T-no, just it..”.
“What's up?”
“Yesterday, I had a bad dream.”
“Nightmare?”
“Yes, and starting earlier when I woke up my premonition was not good.”
“So that's why you didn't allow me to go.”
“I'm just worried something bad will happen to you.”
“So. Sometimes the premonition of the woman has a point.”
“Then..”.
“But, I have to keep going.”
“Why..”.
“Important to that personal ego is not a good thing. Although your premonition is true, it would be much worse if this kingdom were in danger. Someone who can prevent bad things from happening in this kingdom just shut up and do nothing, it's a very selfish thing, and you know. I hate that trait.”
“M-sorry.”
“Calm down, I'll definitely be back. Oh yeah, I want you to give this letter to Lucy later.” I gave him a letter I wrote yesterday.
“What is this letter?”
“Nothing, it's just a kind of hint, it could probably be used to smooth the meeting this time. I'll be leaving soon.”
“Ari, don't forget to take this.” Iona gave me a bag of coins.
“Ahhh, thanks. Then, I go.”
“Ya, be careful on the road. (go) Then, come back safely.”
Long enough after that.
I flew to the Victoria Kingdom across the sea. “Weather today is very supportive.” The clouds are cloudy, making the vision a little limited, even so this cloud can be used as a place to hide. “For the first guess, the manufacture of poison was done in the lab room. And if it's not there, it means underground. If it still does not exist, there is a possibility of its creation in a special room.” For now, I can only guess at such a thing.
Meanwhile.
On the way to the kingdom of Tiure.
“Iona, why do you look so moody? Is there a problem?” (Risa)
“Kak Risa, I'm fine.”
“If you say that with that face, who will believe.”
“M-sorry.”
“Daughter, is there something that holds your heart?” (Lucy)
“Prince Lucy, is it true that a woman's bad premonition is true?”
“Bad feeling, yes. I don't think it's true, after all, bad feelings are created only because of the condition of the body and mind that are being depressed, and that's what causes bad feelings. At least that's in my opinion.”
“B-so. Oh yes, there is a letter for you.”
“Surat?”
“She said this for the smooth meeting this time.”
“So. I will read it later, now it is quite difficult to read it.”
“He, whom are you talking about?”
“Ahh, he's the one who helped..” (Iona).
“Someone who is deep in all these plans, at least that's all I can say.” (Lucy)
“Wah, it looks like that person is really great.”
“He was great, very great.”
Otherside.
“Hmm, Dravin you can go. I'll call you when I need help or my job is done.” After saying that Dravin left.
“Victoria's kingdom is in the eastern part, yes.” I'm down in the western part of the Victorian kingdom, this I did to avoid Dravin's sight because it could mess things up. “Alright, time to walk.”
Afternoon.
“Uwaaahhh, finally arrived. Damn monster earlier, fortunately I could run.” I got a little obstacle before I got here, but the point is that I've come through an uphill battle.
After breathing out, I walked towards the entrance gate. “Who are you, I've never seen you before.” (Guard)
As usual, a stranger will definitely be intercepted and questioned, as I am now experiencing. “A traveler from anthaberantah.”
“Finding knowledge, a knowledge is essential for a traveler like me. Is that enough?”
“You can enter.”
“Thanks.” I went inside. ‘Haa, thankfully I trained him before.’ I decided to go around looking for information.
Long enough after that, in a bar.
I was sitting and watching around. “Old pack, order wine.” (Someone)
“Will I prepare.” (Bar owner)
“With the addition of red fruit.”
“It's inside, you can take it yourself.”
“Hahaha, fine.”
‘A secret code.’ Something used to open up important things. ‘If it is like that.’
“Old pack, order cold water 1.”
“Good, will be ready soon.”
“Use Ectrose mushrooms in addition.” A moment after saying that, his movements came to a halt. ‘It looks like what I guessed is indeed true.’
“Master, what you want.”
“A exchange.” I took out 2 gold coins from the bag Iona gave me. “Give all the information you know about the thing I mentioned it.” Ectrose Mushroom, a step mushroom used to concoct the poison I made. It's just my speculation, but I don't think everyone here doesn't know. It's likely that only a few people know, and if it's true that way right now I could be in danger.
“Please wait until the bar closes.”
“Good.”
At night, the bar was closed.
In the special room of the bar.
“Young man, how did you know.”
“So the news I heard is true, yes. (pretend stupid)”
“News?”
“I had heard that Prince Victoria was about to start her invasion, or maybe she had already started her invasion.”
“It looks like you already know a lot.”
“No, this is just the advantage of a traveler like me. Heard a lot of news, and also secrets belonging to others. That's a traveler.”
“If it was like that, you would have heard the news that young master had failed in mastering a kingdom.”
“Kingdom Thorwn, yes.”
“The news has spread throughout the kingdom very quickly, as a result of which the young master is overwhelmed by the anger of his defeat. Because of that he also created a powerful poison that he got from his enemy.”
“A poison made from mushroom ingredient blend Ektrosi.”
“Yes, I heard. For the sake of creating a poison that is very deadly, there are no countless casualties due to the manufacture of the poison. Therefore, things related to it are considered as taboo things to talk about.”
“So.”
“Before, I never saw the way you dress and also the way you speak, from which kingdom do you feel?”
“Which kingdom? As a wanderer, I don't seem to have anything like it.”
“You must have it, somewhere you can think of as your hometown.”
“Campage page, yes. I don't know, I've forgotten it for a long time. There are so many places I have visited that I have forgotten.”
“Only that's information I can give you.”
“Thank you, that's been quite helpful. Oh yes, do you know where the disposal of poison waste that the prince made it?”
“That's behind the hill behind the palace.”
“Back of the hill?”
“Although it has become waste, poison is still poison, if it is thrown near the settlement it will occur mala potaka.”
“True also.”
“Do you want to go there?”
“I want to make sure something.”
“If it is like that, bring this.” The owner of the bar gave me something. “This can be useful for you if you are going to go there.”
“So, thank you very much.”
“If you may know, what is your name?”
“I? The name of a wanderer changes every entry into a different kingdom, I do not have a fixed name.”
“Then, your name is in this kingdom.”
“Louse.”
“Louse, yes. I'll remember.”
“Then, uncle thanks for the information.” I'm goin.
Long enough after that.
In an inn. “Haa, today is quite exhausting.” Even so, today I got quite a lot of important information. “The hill behind the palace, yes. Then, this coin.” The barkeeper gave me a coin, it was likely that this coin was a special coin that could be used to gain access to the area. “This first day, did not go well.” One wrong move, I'll be arrested. At least I was aware of it, the reason the bar guard uncle took me to a special place was none other than to avoid people eavesdropping while protecting me for a while.
“It turns out this kingdom is more dangerous than what I imagined.” The kingdom if seen as the same as usual, but if you have realized 1 thing then the view of this kingdom will immediately change.
“Looks tomorrow I should be more relaxed.” Tomorrow there is no plan, just enjoy the day as usual in this kingdom while making another plan better. “Alright, time to rest.”
Reconnaissance on my first day, done.
