“I am extremely happy to have heard of such endeavour from my dear granddaughter.” Those were the reply of Emperor Oswald to Princess Darya. It is a good thing that the Emperor favours her, however, not only her uncle is a threat to the throne but also Esteban’s father, Duke Garrett, or Esteban himself. In her first life, her uncle, Prince Harrique, did all means to harm her as the First Princess. As a young child, it was a torture to have drunken poison almost every day without her knowledge. She had suffered so much in the hands of her uncle. In the end, Prince Harrique died after committing suicide because of losing his ability to get to the throne. As of now, she must focus on her ultimate enemies, which is the anti-imperial faction. And in order for her to beat them without wasting her time with spying, she needs more achievements to make the people on her side again. She just needs to do what she did in her first life and add more foundation to secure the t
“Please show your identity.” The knight requested while looking at Sir Theobarlt who had his uniform on. So then, Alluka took off his hood to show his identity and upon seeing him, the knight immediately stood straight to show respect to someone that had a higher position than him. Alluka got off his horse as he walked close to the knight. “I was sent by her highness, the First Princess, to have the gates closed within two hours.” Hearing his report, the knight got troubled. “A-Are you sure, Sir Alluka?” “Do I look like I am not sure?” The knight flinched as he could only scratch the back of his head. “T-The Captain is currently having a break and I could not just tell my co-knights to close the gate. I still need permission to Captain Warron— “Are you mocking the authority of the First Princess?” Alluka cut the knight, making him sweat. “P-Please show me a formal letter coming from the First Princess with the seal of the Imperial Pala
“Your highness?” Baron Ciguil was surprised to see the First Princess coming to the port of Hiague. He was so frustrated that the group of knights he was with were not able to show their skills to defeat the pirates. Why did the First Princess only arrive after the pirate ship retreated?! How can he prove that the one who defeated the pirates were his knights now that the pirates are gone?! Sweating, he approached Princess Darya when she jumped off the horse with the help of the knight she is with. “I g-greet the First Princess!” An idea then popped out of his mind. Right, she is just a girl. I can fool her.So then, he showed a fake smile and started babbling nonsense thinking that the Princess is just thirteen years old and is still illiterate about this kind of problem. “A pirate ship has docked in the Hiague port, your highness. They have invaded the Empire’s coastal property as they have also stolen belongings from the Hiague people. I, Baron Andrew Ciguil, came to re
Princess Darya was rewarded by the Emperor because of her recent achievements. He had held a grand ceremony for her as she also celebrated it with the four captains who fought by her side. Captain Warron, one of the five captains, was sentenced to lifetime imprisonment for disclosing private information to the pirates. The banquet was loud but fun and only knights and selected people were invited. With her exquisite achievement, the people recognized her name and immediately became popular in the whole Empire. This has made her enemies angry as they are all triggered by the fact that the First Princess is gaining a name now. In the Dukedom where Esteban De Garrett’s birthday banquet was held, he was alone in the balcony while looking at the bright moon in the sky. He looked at the red wine in the glass he was holding. It was red but because of the light of the moon, it became almost the colour of the Princess’ eyes. “Why…” he proceeded to speak to himself. “Why did you
With Alluka escorting Princess Darya to the secret escaping passage of the Imperial Palace, to the tunnel, she wore her hood to hide her identity upon entering it. “Are you sure to not take me with you, your highness?” Alluka had been asking her this, three times now. “I told you, I would leave with Sir Theobarlt, only Sir Theobarlt, Alluka.” She answered the same, three times now. “You have only met Sir Theobarlt just five times and you are already entrusting your life to him instead of me who had been with you for ten years— “Stop being a child, Alluka.” “Are you throwing me away, your highness?” Alluka started sulking. “Did you get tired of my handsome face or— maybe you like Sir Theobarlt’s face more than mine?” “I cannot deny that.” She admitted it, nonchalantly, surprising Alluka after hearing her reaction. “What? So you admit that he is more handsome than me?” She chuckled because he sounded like a kid, “I did not say anything, Alluka.”
“Please tell me what have I done, your highness.” When Princess Darya opened her eyes, Sir Theobarlt was already on his knees and begging for forgiveness. After she forgave him, he is now asking what he had done. “You have no need to be concerned, Captain Theo. I asked the owner to help me.” That was her reason and until now, he could not meet her eyes. Maybe because of embarrassment that he is a light drinker. Captain Theobarlt was just following her all day while they walked around Summeria. He would only speak when the Princess would talk to him and that he needs to respond. The Princess would just pick up random fruit, buy it, and eat it. Until then, Princess Darya comes inside a fancy restaurant. It was a bit surprising to see a fancy restaurant in a faraway town. He just followed where the Princess went and did as he was told. When the Princess sat in a spot, she asked him to sit across from her. So then they were asked what they were going to eat and it was ser
It was a meeting with the nobles again. And again, her grandfather, the Emperor, asked her to present in the meeting. It was about the upcoming hunting competition that will be held in the Dukedom’s estate, as usual. As they talked about it and assigned everyone’s task, Princess Darya suddenly raised her hand to speak. “Excuse my bold request but may I join the hunting competition?” There was a long silence there until then everybody reacted one at a time, making the meeting noisy. “How could a princess join…” “Your highness, you are too young…” “We should make a rule for this…” So then the Emperor cleared his throat, silencing everyone. He then turned his gaze to Princess Darya. Since he is close to her, he reached his hand to tap her head. “My grandchild, do you know that you are fourteen years old?” Her jaw dropped as she remembered that she is actually a teen-ager. She also realized that she was actually seventeen years old when she joined the hunt
Because of what happened during the recent meeting of the nobles, Princess Darya had become the talk of the social circle of the noblewomen. She got many invites to tea parties and many letters from noblewomen the same age as her. However, as she read all the letters with the same purposes, she did reply to every letter but she had rejected them all. She might have debuted in the social circle but it was six years ago. Except for the high ranking nobles, no one could remember exactly what she looks like. It is because she is focusing on discussing her plan to Captain Billion’s team. She was assigned to organize the hunting competition with the assistance of the knights and Marquis Hainey. For a whole week, she discussed and assigned all tasks as she inspected all the materials and tools to be used. She also selected people who are going to work with her with thorough research and investigation. After that week, it did not end there as she has other projects to build. Ho
