The Reincarnation of a Princess
Busquets
"Ren, where are we headed now?" In the back, I can hear questions from Olivia.
Whither? If you ask me, I don't know where to go either.
The world is vast, even to surround this continent I have never been.
If likened, maybe the continent I occupy now is like the American continent. There are still other big continents out there, only I have never touched them, like Europe, Asia and friends.
Do I have to go back to my original goal? Looking for all the things about Nuela, my mother.
Exsalia, do you know where the last time that mom was detected was?
[The last one is in the Great Great Forest, in the southern part of the continent]
How long does it take to use a horse carriage?
[Maybe about two weeks, Master]
The territory of the Celestine kingdom stretched wide from the north to the southwest of the continent, while the Destegraf empire took the entire eastern region of the continent.
For the west to south, it was inhabited by several small kingdoms.
If taking from where we left off, then the journey will start from North to South!
Uh, it's almost the same as going around half the continent!
"Via, have you heard of the Great Forest?"
Olivia was the daughter of Duke Vealiq, the Duke who ruled and governed the southern part of the empire.
He should be no stranger to it.
"Great Forest? Why are you suddenly asking about that horrible forest?"
Terrible forest?
"What does that mean?"
There was never any mention that the forest was terrible, even Exsalia never mentioned it at all.
"Ah I forgot, you are not a person from the empire."
Olivia is seen swiping her right palm at the nape of her back neck, like someone who accidentally says something she shouldn't.
It makes me even more curious, what's really going on, '_」
"It was told that there was once a massive massacre, whether who did it is still a mystery."
When Olivia just wanted to open her mouth, Leo interrupted with a brief explanation.
I could see Olivia's face flushed. Red here is not because of shame, but because of annoyance.
"Hey, I just wanted to tell her!" Olivia Protest.
Wait, forget that.
"Slaughter, what does that mean?" My curiosity has been on the verge of the limit. Maybe if I don't get the answer right now, I could die on the spot.
Joking.
Olivia looked at Leo, who was immediately rewarded with an indifferent shoulder jerk from the man.
What's the matter? Is this a taboo thing to tell?
"This information is actually known only to the higher-ups of the imperial family." Olivia said, the girl looked at me seriously.
"Finden academy used to hold exams in the forest, and as Leo said, a massacre suddenly happened." Further.
The exam? Finden's?
"Some parties found evidence that the massacre was carried out by a gerom-ah no-no, a Devil, rather a Greater Demon."
Wait, if he mentions the Greater Demon. Isn't that a demon level one level below a demon king?
"It's going to be a pretty long story."

In a room that looked luxurious, a man stood in front of an open window sipping a soft smoky rod in his hand.
The product released by the Evergreen company makes it very addictive. Although it has been informed of the consequences that will be received when using this product, it is not at all concerned about it.
This smoky stem is called a cigarette. Just one month into and start to market, everyone has been fighting over it.
"Charles."
Someone called. The soft voice seemed to have stuck to his ear, making him easily recognize who it was.
"Mother, why bother to come here?" Charles put out his cigarette, threw the butts right in the trash can not far from him.
The woman called 'mother' smiled, looking gently at her only child.
"Mom wants to see mother's son, is that wrong?" His word.
Charles quickly shook his head and approached his mother, "No, you can come here anytime! Even everything here belongs to mom!" Exclaims.
Elena smiled faintly, her palms raised and began to gently stroke her son's brown mane.
"You got a problem?"
No one knows Charles better than Elena. As a mother who gave birth and raised him alone, Elena already knew how the character of her son.
Charles was surprised for a moment, but afterwards only a gentle look for the mother.
"I can't hide anything from my mother, yes." Charles clutched his mother, letting the warmth of his mother cover him.
"Since we entered this palace eight years ago, you've always been in trouble."
Elena clenched her two cheeks, landing a small kiss on Charles's forehead there.
"Mothers hope, Busquets name is not meng– at all"
"Mom, this is my choice." Charles quickly cut. The look he gave to his mother seemed to tell him that the discussion did not need to continue.
Elena nodded, "Mom will follow all your options, Ar."
Ar is a small call to Charles, not many people know about this call.
To Elena, she certainly knew.
"I-mom, I-I'm twenty-six years old!" Behind his rejection, a small smile was imprinted on Charles' face.
With his mother, Charles was very sure he could face everything.
Even if it was to fight for the royal throne with his brother, it was not a difficult thing.
"Wait for the time of you all, motherfucker."

Walking on, without feeling the three of us had reached the exit of the forest.
So far there are absolutely no monsters or beasts, because the Celestine region itself is quite safe.
Because it was indeed its territory in the north of the continent, Celestine had a bit of cold air. It even has longer winters than the rest of the kingdom.
Therefore, there were not many monsters and beasts to be found here.
"First, we'll cross the border and head to the Busquets kingdom."
The suggestion from Olivia is the most appropriate choice. The Busquets Kingdom was the second largest kingdom after Celestine, whose power was right in the middle of the continent.
The territory of this kingdom has absolutely no waters other than one proper river flowing in the territory of its capital, therefore they are very lacking in agricultural factors and food.
Forgetting it all, the economic strength of the Busquets kingdom is more to the mining factor.
There are gold, diamond, silver mines and most importantly, Mana stone mines.
Busquets is the largest Mana stone supplier in existence. Therefore, this kingdom can also be regarded as a prosperous kingdom.
His government also tends to be neutral. During the battle between Celestine and Destegraf, they were completely impartial to no one.
"I remember, when the party yesterday Busquets only sent letters unable to attend to the emperor."
Olivia Kuguki's words unconsciously. It's true, yesterday Silla also said he couldn't see a representative from Busquets.
"Aren't they in a cold war?"
I eavesdropped on Silla and Sis Fall, and that's what I got.
"Right, he said there was a bit of a problem between the crown prince and the second prince."
The crown prince and the second prince, what else would it be if it wasn't about a power struggle.
As I know, the power sought in this world is not just about profit.
Other than governments based on democracy, the world is more familiar with the system of absolute monarchy.
A system where there is a king, and only his descendants can rule.
Because of this system, it gives rise to a great ego in every ruler. Be it the king or his nobles.
Do not be surprised if there is a nobleman who stares disgust at the commoners, because in fact the nobles are already controlled by their own ego.
Actually, the relationship between the ruler and his people can not be separated. A ruler cannot be a ruler if there are no people, and vice versa.
"Via, what do you think of that crown prince of Busquets?"
The look on Olivia's face changed when she heard my question.
As if remembering a disgusting thing, he saw me. "What do you mean that jerk guy?" Her speech.
I don't know what he's been through. But one thing I do know, Olivia must have had a really bad impression on her.
"Mak–"
"Ren, why are you asking about that guy?"
For some reason, it felt like I suddenly felt stared at by someone.
It's Leo!
I faced him, I could see he was still glaring at me.
Wait-wait...
This man is middle...
Of jealousy?
