Edited/Proofread by Para I’m glad. Somehow I managed to save him... The still dazed Captain was currently being treated by a knight with healing abilities. A knight who brought a hand-cuff with anti-special ability restraints had also arrived. Now the ambusher was safely secured. After apologizing to the Vice-Captain about my selfish actions, I immediately reported to him about our current situation and how we were all safe right now. In the meantime, I tried to answer all of the Vice-Captain’s inquiries, darting my eyes back and forth**. And after that, he gave out an order for the knights gathered here. It seemed like they were to act proactively and prioritize the current matters at hand. “Shit!! That’s the princess?! Having a monster like that as your princess? Just what the hell is going on?!” The ambusher yelled as he struggled against the knights who were currently dragging him away. “Fu—it’s because you guys didn’t see that monster!” Read only on eunietl.weebly.com After being shoved from behind, he continued to yell in vexation. But no matter how much he yelled, no one bothered listening to him. From here, I could see them gagging him. That guy was actually one of my citizens, so he was dragged and placed in one of the returning carriages.
I knew his name.
...Val. In KiMiHiKa, the game I was playing in my previous life, he was Pryde’s… No, he was one of the guys I hired. Pryde, who devoted herself to committing atrocious and abominable acts to have the country in the palm of her hand... He was someone she hired to bring back Tiara, who had escaped from the tower, along with the capture target. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com Also, he was a special ability user with the ability to create walls and similar structures from the ground. There was one scene where he, along with his other comrades, destroyed the castle town, and he used his ability to block any openings. When all of his comrades died, or when they were about to be cornered, he created a dome using nearby rubble, and he hid there by himself. Since everyone was rushing towards the castle, they overlooked him. That was how it ended for him. Even for our country, he had unusual dark skin, and there was no need to doubt that he was someone from our country since he had a special ability. Right now, he looked relatively young, but his overall appearance was quite terrifying. He had eyes sharper than mine, and his pointy-looking teeth stood out a lot. The impression he gave off, even in the game, was that of a villain. It might also be due to the efforts of the character design that his features were well balanced. He was able to create a dome using the properties of the earth to protect himself...I never saw him use it when he attacked, so I guess it was not useful for combat. In short, he could only create something like a shelter, and that was probably the extent of his ability. Well, there were still seven years before the actual start of the timeline, so I was quite worried about the size of the shelter that he could produce. There was a chance that it was similar to Stayle’s situation where there was still some limitation to the range when they use their ability. That’s why I kept thinking about ways on how we could stick close to him...but his ability was quite impressive. When he activated his ability, it even exceeded the range where the Captain's foot was stuck. In just a matter of seconds, he was able to create a sturdy dome. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com It took some time for the sound of the crumbling rocks to settle down, and when it finally did, it still didn’t mean we were safe since we didn’t know when the oxygen would run out. Though it wasn’t like we could make any movements now since there was no telling when, and if, the cliff above us would crumble once again***. So between waiting for things to calm down, waiting for help, or running out of oxygen, we decided to just wait. Val, who had been captured by the Captain, kept on muttering, “Monster...monster….what the hell is up with this brat?” All his comrades died due to the cliff collapsing, so I just tolerated his hatred filled grumblings and complaints. Then at one point, Val stayed silent. It might have been because the Captain didn’t say anything other than what he deemed as necessary, or it was because he has been trying to conserve his energy. ...But to be honest, even though the worst had already passed, I suddenly felt fear creeping up on me. It was completely dark. It was a situation where I couldn’t see anyone or anything. I cursed my ignorance for not thinking ahead about the matter regarding oxygen. ...I wonder if it was going to be painful suffocating to death. While thinking about that and having all this anxiousness and fear creeping up inside me, I could feel my heartbeat pulsing faster and faster. I didn’t want the Captain to die, and at the same time, I didn’t want him to be responsible for my death. If he was the only one who survived, due to his innate nature and a strong sense of responsibility, there was no doubt that he would feel responsible for not being able to protect me. But if he died with me, then people would label it as a disgraceful death and destroy all the reputation he had built up. ...I wonder how long it has been. After a while, I could hear someone’s voice outside. Finally, we could release the dome. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com Val had been continuously grumbling his grievances to me. In the game, he was one of the villain’s pawns, but at this rate, he will definitely get a death sentence since he caused significant damage and did something unforgivable. However, it was a waste. With that incredible ability of his, he could have chosen a different kind of life. I wonder if he will get another chance… “Your Highness, First Princess Pryde!!” One of the knights called out to me. “I will escort you back to the palace. The first battalion has arrived, so please come this way.” “No, it’s alright. I don’t have any injuries. Rather than that, please prioritize the Captain.” “The Captain is also scheduled to be immediately transferred by the first battalion. So that’s why please come over here.” “If that’s the case, then the injured should be prioritized over me...” From the perspective of the knights, it must be hard for them to remain calm in the presence of royalty. Of course, it was within their code that the safety of royals should be prioritized. I knew that, but I wasn’t injured or anything, and it was my desire for the wounded knights to be given immediate treatment. While the knight and I repeated this conversation over and over again, I could hear the other knights fussing over the Captain. “Where are you going?!” “Please stop moving!” “Your injuries are still…” Read only on eunietl.weebly.com I could hear heavy footsteps coming towards me, and then I saw the face of the knight I was conversing with turn pale when he looked behind me. Wondering what it was, I turned around, and there was… “Captain…” If I remembered correctly, he was still in the middle of being treated by the medics. His torso was exposed, and from his chest to his shoulder, there were bandages wrapped around. Shouldn’t he be properly resting right now? Right when I was about to say something, the Captain effortlessly picked me up and carried me. “Eeh?! Kyaaa?!” It was so sudden that I couldn’t help but let out a yelp. And just like that, the Captain unknowingly did a princess carry and carried me over to where the first battalion was. He didn’t say anything, and that was what made it scarier. “Waaa...Please put me down, Captain!! You are still injured…” As I tried to struggle in his arms, the Captain slowly opened his mouth and said, “... ...There are so many questions I have for you. Numerous. ...But please return to the palace right now.” Scarry!! He was really, really mad!! Because of the fear I felt, I increased the flailing of my hands and feet, but it was also at that moment when I finally realized the current state that I was in. “...huu…..Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!” When I noticed how exposed my legs were, I probably screamed the loudest I have ever screamed. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com Of course, the knights around us and even the Captain were so surprised by my actions that I could feel everyone’s eyes on me. “Uuh...everyone, please don’t look at me!!” I almost couldn’t stop myself from saying, ‘Avert your eyes from me!!’. But I managed to regain some composure, so most of them turned away from me. Though it didn’t seem to affect the Captain since it didn’t look like he will let me go. “I understand! I understand!! I’ll do as you say, so, please!! Please let me down...no...before that, please give me some clothes!!” After saying that much, I could feel my embarrassment swallow me whole and my voice grew meeker when I neared the end of my sentence. Then I closed my legs tightly and covered my face with my hands. In the first place, it was me who did this to my dress so that I could move easier. Well, it did look like a slit, and it didn’t bother me. After all the fighting, rolling around and being covered in mud, a large chunk of my skirt was torn. Now it looked like a mini skirt...no..at this point, rather than a mini skirt, it looked like a grass skirt. It was so embarrassing for a princess to be seen wearing something like a grass skirt. When I was standing, it didn’t really matter since there were still long parts of the dress that covered everything, but being in this kind of position caused the fabric to hitch up and expose my legs. It seemed like the Captain had also realized the problem as he gently put me down. Now that I was standing up, the length was back to normal, but just thinking about how other people had already seen it was terribly embarrassing. Due to the embarrassment, I couldn’t help but crouch down right then and there. In a small voice, I requested some clothes. And then suddenly… “Pfft….!!” Someone was laughing!? Who?! Who was laughing?! I could feel my face heat up from the anger and embarrassment, and as I looked around, the culprit turned out to be the Captain. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com He was facing away and staring to the side as if he was unable to look at me, but I could see his shoulders trembling. I looked around, and then as if they’re being influenced by the Captain, I saw their shoulders quiver. Aaaah!! They're so mean!! Sure, they might just think of me as your everyday 11-year-old little brat with no sex appeal, but I’m the first princess! To not bring shame to that title, I have been taught etiquette and how to properly conduct myself. But despite that, the guys here almost saw what was beneath my skirt. Of course, I would feel embarrassed!! In my previous life, things like sex appeal were pointless to me since I lived my life as a plain jane. Right now, I’m the first princess, and since I have been living the past eleven years as one, even I could feel shame! What's more, the man who was holding me earlier was practically topless. Don’t even get me started on the knights. Luckily, no one saw anything past my knees…!! I wonder if it’s okay to punish everyone for their insolence…?! I guess it was about time to release and have my inner villainess handle things right now. *Plop...* I felt something drape over me from above.… When I looked up, I saw the Captain cover me with his cloak. It was very bulky, so the fabric weighed me down considerably. If the cuffs were pinned, then I could wear it like a one-piece shirt, but since it was quite long, I would definitely drag it all over the floor. Just as I was thinking how hard it would be to walk while wearing this, I am once again carried by the Captain and transported to the first battalion that was a few meters away from us. Sitting there was a vehicle that looked like a large motorbike. It feels like I have seen this sort of ride before when I was playing the game, and if I remembered it correctly, only the ability user who created this could ride it...or something along those lines. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com Initially, this bike was used to transport people, things, or to pull a carriage. Usually, you had to sit behind the driver or ride in the carriage. It seemed like, for my sake, they removed the giant wagon, so now it looked like a ride for a single person. There appeared to be a sidecar with a comfy-looking seat attached to it, and there were handrails on all sides to ensure safety. After placing me down, I grabbed the handrail, and the Captain and the knights kneeled down as they sent me off. “...See you soon at the palace.” After bidding my farewells, I heard an engine-like sound revving up before the bike started moving. Then it was the knights who came from the palace who saw me off, and just like that, I left. And this was how my long inspection ended. But unbeknownst to me, a colossal storm was silently brewing, waiting to strike me at a later time. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com Eunie HERE: AND WE'RE CAUGHT UP WITH THE MANGA!! //TT_TT//
