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 emperor even though his not his biological son, the first prince have a shining blonde hair and green eyes---his highness the first prince....Niko Lucille.
The sadistic, two-faced, deceiving and a total Devil, a male version of the villainess but with some differences of course, like his name that means conquest of the nation he is believed to be a conquerer among all six princes, he is more emperor-material so it's no doubt that many of the officials in the court is in his faction.
His going to be a handful, isn't he.
"Your highness, knight Charlotte is here" the maid announced, in a garden filled with roses in different colors, Beautiful blonde hair shined under the bright sun, typical capture targets.
A gentle close eye smile on his face as his white and sky blue tunic greeted my eyes, I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes at the cliche scene I'm in right now.
The maid left, I stood up straight and bowed with one knee and one fisted hand on the ground, my head looking down as I refuse to look at his 'godly' appearance.
"Greetings your highness, I am Seraphina Charlotte and from now on I am at your disposal, my lord" I'll literally give anything up just to make this stop, He didn't respond for awhile before chuckling a little.
"Formality is no longer needed.....Seraphina, the two of us will have a long relationship with each other from now on so You can just drop the formality and call me Niko" he kindly said, ugh! I groaned in my mind, Remained kneeling on the ground As I said " That is one thing that I cannot do, my lord, you are a respectable and refine first prince as I am nothing but a mere knight so therefore I cannot call you that, I humbly ask for your forgiveness" I looked up to him as a silent declaration that I will not back down.
My day with the first prince went along with him pestering me in a nonverbal way of submitting to him to take his side, which I calmly avoided or decline every time.
I will not involve myself with your little tug-of-war game about the throne, I'm content with what I have.
We strolled around the garden, talked about politics and other topics, I took notice that every nook and cranny of this place is spotless which was not much of a shock for a cleanfreak prince like him.
The two-faced prince really have a thick mask, If not for me being a reincarnated person and knowing who he really is Or else I'll be dead by now.
His annoying bright smile is kinda ticking me off, doesn't he get tired smiling all the time? Being two-faced and all, I really wanted to rip his smile off!.
Thanks to the protection of the gods, I have survived death!....
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
In a week, Daichi's royal banquet will be held, although it was a bit rush, nothing can be done when it's the emperor's order, Just like in the novel, the emperor is quite fond of daichi, since he saw viscount Charlotte as his brother ever since they were small he sees daichi as his own son in a way too.Unexpectedly the emperor is fond of all of his sons, of course there are other royals in the palace like the 3 concubines, 1 consort, 1 empress and 3 princesses.The consort is none other than Windy Thyme--- the emperor's beloved woman and also the third prince mother, The 3 princess are mostly concubine-born daughters but none the less the emperor is a doting father despite how he looks.The palace have been rustling and bustling day and night for the preparation Especially the marigold courtyard where he resides, each courtyard is like a mini palace, it have it's own servants, maids, butlers and full set of rooms, including the ballroom.From birth each royal will be granted of thei
After what happened, my nightmares didn't visited me as frequent is it does, but it still does."Charlotte!!" And here he is...The prince of the day....the one and only muscle head moron... Alistair lucille."Yes your highness" turning my gaze to him, not this again." Spar with me" he said, I looked at him for a moment before signing, god this will never end."Of.... course" I reluctantly said, I only wear armors in special occasion so I only put on a simple loose end pants and a plain white colored blouse with my hair resting on my right shoulder, Tying my hair in a bun, I draw my sword from it's sheath.Surprisingly the only time that this man listen to me is when we are in a middle of a spar."Your sides are open your highness" I said, blocking his attack, he nodded, adjusting his stance, I attacked once more directing his right side, he blocked it with ease."More strength" I said, we continued the spar, me dropping off one or two things to help him, he obeyed them completely in
