The Reincarnation of a Princess
Protector

"Hey, what do you think our party will be called?" Amidst the silence, Via asked a question.

This time Via, Leo and Lauren were in a horse-drawn carriage by a merchant.

Considering the place where the wolf extermination was infected was close enough to the place that the merchant wanted to go to suddenly offered him an escort mission, Via certainly did not refuse.

In addition to not having to hire a horse, he felt that this was quite efficient and very profitable. The pay is doubled, and they do not have to spend money as an operational form.

Very profitable, right?

"What about Viall?"

Lauren's words caught Via's attention. Slightly lifting the descending hood covering her vision, the girl looked at Lauren who was sitting right in front of her.

"Viall?"

Lauren nodded, "Yes, Viall means Via, Leo and Lauren."

"Remember, L's two yes!" Added.

Via quite understood, while Leo nodded in agreement considering it was a suggestion from Lauren herself. Truly, the man was completely blind to love.

Whatever Lauren's request, as long as she can definitely live it. That's Leo now.

After thinking a little, Via felt the advice from Lauren was not bad either. Viall's name doesn't sound like a market, either, but wait...

"Why should your name stand next to Leo?"

Lauren had not yet answered, she was again bombarded by questions from Via.

"Not you who formed our party, why should the abbreviation of my name first? Ren, do you have any other intentions?"

The tone seemed seductive, and Lauren knew where these edges were.

"Hey, the name is arranged with the consideration of the letters in our name yes!"

Lauren explained, he did not want to misunderstand this ended later with him who seemed to lose to Via.

"By the way your name is too difficult to make behind, so be thankful that I have already put it in front!"

Via sneered, Lauren's reply was quite unreasonable. Though the name is fairly easy, especially with many core letters pronunciation in it.

Wanted to answer, but it felt like he was lazy to argue with Lauren right now.

The face of Lauren who when she lost the debate was quite cute, especially when what they debated concerning Leo's problem. Surely at the edges the girl will misbehave herself.

...____...

"Ren, what I heard from some of the servants at Celestine's palace said that you've changed."

In front of the bonfire, Via looked at me. Holding the roasted fish ready to eat, he handed it to me.

Do not know where Leo got this fish, but in this area there is absolutely no flowing river.

That guy is magical.

"meaning?"

While eating the tender fish meat, I asked back.

If I could turn around for a while, I would love to ask Leo how he makes this fish spice.

It tastes very savory, even the combination of salty, sweet and sour fit into the deep. The smell is also not at all fishy, this is the best grilled fish I have ever tried ( ⁇ )

"They are quite confused, where was your cheerful and spoiled nature before."

Ah that, it turns out Olivia already knows yes. Well, I can't hide anything to him for long.

"It's all just a mask."

Rather than consider it detachment and not being able to control myself, instead I would rather call it a mask?

My soul is too adapted to Lauren's body, only that it's the biggest possibility that makes a very drastic change in nature to Lauren.

If it is true that what has become my previous habit is Lauren's personality, then it is certain that my soul which is now in this body is not good enough to maintain something.

All felt when coming out of Celestine. I felt that if I continued to be there, it was certain that everything about Fardhan Yotsuki would be wiped out.

It's like, I exist only to replace the ones that are gone. With the knowledge and all the advantages that my soul brings.

I don't want that. Lauren's dead, and I'm not here as her replacement. I appreciate the body he gave me, with me who did not change it at all.

This is the real me, Lauren, who just stands alone above her goal.

"Mask is yes."

I can hear Via muttering. The word mask may be familiar to him, especially he who is also a noble.

Surely at least, there are some people around him who put on a mask if they cross paths with him.

"After all I'm going to leave the palace long enough, it feels sick of having to keep wearing it."

I don't know why, I feel like I can let go of everything.

For yesterday, let it all pass. When I meet Fall's brother again later, just let's just say that this trait is formed because of an adventure.

At any time, it is difficult to express everything honestly.

Especially the fact that I'm not his sister.

Leo returned to the horse-drawn carriage. Inside, he can see Via and Lauren who are asleep in their dreamland.

Some items that are likely to be merchandise are seen as hugging materials by Lauren, which makes the girl already seem to not care about the surrounding.

On this trip there are 4 horse carriages. The first train that has a beautiful interior, because it is the place of the head trader. And the remaining 3 places to carry his merchandise.

Party Viall is on the last train, which still has a place for some people because it is not too crowded with goods.

It can all be seen from the two girls who have slept with various styles there. Moreover, the horse carriages they occupied transported soft materials such as cloth, cotton and so on.

They're very funny, aren't they?

A voice entered Leo's head, with a high tone indicating that it was a woman.

"I don't need your opinion."

Leo closed the horse carriage door. Feeling safe, the man walked a little away.

Come on Leo, you're still cold as usual.

The voice was heard again, this time she looked like a sulking girl.

But Leo is still Leo. He chose to ignore it and continued to walk in search of a good place to stay awake.

The existence of 4 trains makes Leo have to expand the guard area. Although he was actually lazy, but this was his first mission with Lauren. It cannot fail.

So Leo, can you tell me what's so special about that girl? To the point of making you leave the area I left you?

Under the moonlight, the sound re-entered Leo's head. The man looks pretty upset.

"Can you not interfere in my affairs?"

Shouldn't a sister know what her sister is doing?

The cold tone of Leo who was full of intimidation seemed to be ignored by the voice, seen from how he asked back.

"Make your own business."

Touching the tip of his sword, Leo continued. "The empire is strong enough, they don't need my guard."

So because of that girl huh, you balked at the emperor's request?

Leo flinched, but he quickly returned to neutralizing himself.

Rather than answer, he chose to ignore. It seemed like what the owner of the voice said was true.

As the war progressed, the emperor asked for your help and you chose to ignore it.

Therefore, the war was won by Celestine. The place where the girl was born and was besa–

"You, don't ever mess around."

Leo cuts, in a tone that seems to say that these are the last words you can get out.

I heard that voice chuckle. Leo can feel a grin pointing at him, no matter where it comes from.

As a protective dragon, you are quite careless huh, Leo.
