As the emperor true to his words provided me a small two-story house in the seventh street of the capital, it's the safest street in the capital and only a small chance of troubles appearing here, the store and markets are also near from my white painted house with a small front and back yard..
It's certainly is a peaceful home but I don't know about the 'stable job' part, I'm still recovering from the regret of accepting the emperor's offer, I mentally faced palmed.
"Your stuff have been moved inside miss" now that I'm just a normal citizen I no longer need the 'young miss' or 'miss Charlotte' title since I'm no longer a noble, the workers bid farewell after I handed them the payment of helping move my stuff inside the house.
By now daichi should be comfortably living in his own place in the castle, We only said a few words to each other before saying goodbye to our sibling relationship forever, his back to his cold and harsh attitude toward me but it lightened up a bit, I'll be seeing you next month, sixth prince.
But for now I'll be just seeing dust and a lot of cleaning materials..
--
The emperor have gave me a sack of gold coins to survive in this month but I think This whole small hand size sack of gold can last me to a year, I also sold my previous jewelry and fancy dresses for additional money and also because I don't have anywhere to put them in,
I brought foods, utensils and other necessities for the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, I also stopped by a shop to buy some new dresses not too fancy but not too shabby either..
Cleaning the house from top to bottom, wiping every window clean and making sure there are no more spider webs, was way harder since there is no vacuum here I mean hello I'm in an old western era no technology exist here, not even electricity!.
But none the less I supposed this is a better life than the one I used to have back in the mansion, so I'm grateful..
I cleared out the weeds in my front yard and rearranged the placement of the flower pots, I also have a kind elderly woman living beside me, she has the most gentlest smile and like a grandma that I never had.
My new life began with a tiring start and an relaxing end, I took a bath before patting my hair with a towel to dry, before I knew it I was already asleep in my new bed...
"I am haruto, the emperor's personal escort knight, please to make your acquaintance Miss" a silver haired handsome man stood infront of me with his towering figure overshadowing me, though considering that his on his 30's This guy is pretty youthful looking just like the emperor, His empty blue eyes stared down to me which surprisingly gave me goosebumps, a shiver ran down my spine."The pleasure is all mine Master haruto, I am in your care from now on" I tried my best to not stutter, heck the kingdoms best swordman is currently infront of me! I can't afford to mess up now, I secretly calmed myself down in my head as he just nodded and turned his back on me gesturing for me to follow him and I did.Wearing a simple brown pants that reaches my ankle with the end loosened up and a white blouse and black laced up boots, Carrying my sword by the hand as master haruto lead me to the castles back gate, the gate to the knights division quarter where all palace knights sleep and train in..
The day I start my new life is also the day that will either lead me to my doom or a better life(sort of).Damn!, I'm really considering on being an assassin rather than this! Is it too late to back out now?---probably yes."May god protect us all" I silently prayed to the gods as if I'm about to face death right on, but seriously I'm not kidding, I took a deep breath before knocking on the Lillith courtyard located in the west wing of the castle and where the first prince resides."Greetings, you must be knight Charlotte, his highness the first prince new escort knight" a maid greeted me politely and bowed, I only nodded and replied"Yes that is indeed me, please to meet you, I will be in your care from now on" the maid only returned my words by smiling and bowed once more, "his highness have been very excited to meet you" I'm sure he is I sarcastically said in my mind, I followed the maid as she lead me to where the first prince is.Unlike daichi who was the total carbon copy of the
Enjoys peace that is what Benjiro means, if someone hears this they would think of a gentle and loving king that will bring long everlasting peace in the kingdom but instead.."Do whatever you want, just make sure not to bother me while I'm sleeping" your always sleeping! I shouted in my mind but I kept my mouth close instead, his name fit him very well, a lazy prince that only cares about sleeping and finding a quiet place then he just enjoy the peace.I found him sleeping up on a tree in his quiet and empty Rosewood courtyard.all the maids and servants come here only twice a week to clean the courtyard Because the second prince doesn't like crowded places and noisy environment so he only allow them to come here if it's necessary such as cleaning, the guards are stationed outside of the courtyard to avoid disturbing the sleepy prince, When it comes to his meal one, two maid comes in quietly and set up his food on the table trying to not wake him up, then they tiptoed away then come
"ne, ne, sera!" A voice continued to annoy me while tapping my shoulder, thankfully my patience is still long so I didn't instantly killed the annoying third prince."Yes? What can I do for you, your highness?" His a royal pain in the ass compare with the two faced first prince who I rather be with then this little brother of his.Compared to the fourth and fifth prince that need to be respectful to uphold their titles as the empress sons, the first and second prince that always need to be careful when they act and of course my ex-half-older-brother who is the sixth prince have to uphold his morals however this third prince doesn't have any much morale in himself because number one. His the emperor's son with his most favored consort and number two. His a notorious playboy in the kingdom and finally number three. His useless, but of course he's not that much of a 'playboy' right now since his just a kid but in the future he will certainly will."Play with me" he bashfully grinned at
"greetings, his highness the fourth prince, I am seraphina Charlotte, your escort knight from this day onward, Pleasure it is to meet you" kneeling on one knee as I bowed infront of the dignified, gentle and angelic type fourth prince.Raphael lucille, god! even his name is angelic, But I must admit, this gentle prince is the only prince that get along with all the other five princes in the castle, even to daichi!, I kinda like him since in the game his the only one that doesn't use dirty, scheming and deceiving methods to get the heroine and the throne.But I'm also sure that even this angelic prince hides a lose screw somewhere, All the other capture targets have one so I'm sure this one isn't much of a difference.Elegantly sitting on a chair as he gracefully have tea, His beautiful light brown hair shines below the sun, Breathtakingly blue eyes, Just like the first prince who resembles his mother, Raphael also looks so much like his mother."The pleasure is all mine, Knight Charlo
"go away, I don't need a useless escort knight, I can protect my own" the arrogant, egoistic and apparently a tsundere fifth prince said, standing tall infront of me, why are all princes so persistent?!It's not like I'm the first women escort knight! For godsake! My father's mother and aunt was also an escort knight before they got married! I don't even want to be here!"Of course you can your highness but his majesty--the emperor tasked me to you and to your brothers so I must follow orders" I politely said, more like 'tried' to politely say it without anything rude coming out from my mouth."Tsk, then just stay out of my way" and my patience is running out.I followed this walking wall out the training area, He didn't even bother slowing down to my pace but then again he did tell me that he didn't care about me at all."Ah your here" master haruto spotted us not so far from where he is, As the king's escort knight his skill surpass the skill of the generals and any sword wielder in
"hell is waiting for me" Those were the very first word I uttered first thing in the morning, I remembered not being able to sleep last night because All I could think of is me meeting my ex-half-brother slash sixth prince.Standing up from my bed, I didn't bother to comb my messy bed hair or look at myself at all in the mirror, Walking to the kitchen I pour myself a good cup of coffee while thinking...Which one is better, the two-face pretentious first prince? Or this demonic sixth prince?I would say, death. Death is the best answer.Maybe I should grab a knife and head on to the death Option, yeah I should probably do that."Good morning seraphina""Ah!" I screamedWhat?..."Your majesty.....what an earth are you doing here?" Great, how embarrassing is this!! I'm literally standing infront of the emperor in my pajamas!! Oh god please kill me right now! "I've came to make sure you come at work, This is your half-brother we're talking about so I want to make sure that neither of yo
Finally! I survived my first week, now I just have survive a million more days with them until I....die.Sigh. This is a nightmare!."Good morning seraphina!, Did you had your breakfast already?" Walking out of my house then locking the door, I heard Mrs. Dalton greeting me."Good morning to you too Mrs. Dalton, and yes I just finished having my breakfast, thank you for asking" I don't know why but I seemed to have a soft spot for old people and children ever since I could remember, even in my past life."Your welcome dear, you must be looking forward on having the whole weekend for yourself after such a hectic first week of the job, go on and enjoy yourself" she smiled at me warmly, every morning I would always see her watering her plant and greeting me a good morning, which is....nice."Thank you Mrs. Dalton, say hi to Mr. Dalton for me" I said before running off to my first destination.The newly opened Moon cafe! Just around the corner, You may not know this about me but I have qu
