After the incident with the Princesses, our lives have greatly changed because of the kindness of the king who showed us mercy.
This happened shortly after we got to the castle.
“Before you go, I need to ask you to behave as politely as possible! If you don’t, there will be consequences to pay,” Kakashi said to me.
The matter of the fact that I was meeting the king, and with my normal way of talking it won’t likely end well for us.
He was simply looking out for us, but I will stay on my word.
“I don’t really see what you mean by that?” I answered him even though I knew the truth.
“When you go there, I need you to speak carefully and considerately. This is my warning,” Kakashi said and left the moment he saw the door handle being opened.
“Welcome… the boy who helped save the highnesses Princess Christina and Princess Chloe, Ria you may come inside.” A man in his forties said welcoming me to the ball room.
“Lets go, Eva.” I said.
Eva and I started walking on the red and golden carpet.
It was very beautiful and nicely decorated, you see what the artist was thinking when the art was being made.
It was an eye catching scene.
After we walked about fifteen feet from the door, we stopped within ten more feet.
We kneed and bowed.
“We can raise our heads, Ria, Eva.” The king said to us.
His facial muscles stretched, the curves around his lips also stretched reviewing a smile.
“Thank you, your highness. I am glad to be in your favour.” I said.
Using polite words is very easy for me, with my knowledge from earth, I can blind into the noble society without being recognised.
“I see you can use the words of the nobles, how did you learn that in a short amount of time?” The question was asked by the king himself directly.
Ah damn it!
Well I can’t say I come from a different dimension, or another world.
If I lie, people won’t judge me right?
After all, this is what I must do to protect myself and my family.
Alright…
Fine….
“…. Before they were both taken to a place of great patience…” I made the emotions come to life.
Anyone with incredible psychological knowledge could know what I was doing, but none of them seemed to catch on.
But, with that said, no one seemed to care either.
Almost all the nobles there either were sighing their eyes or just listening without the ears.
“I see now. Anyways, I have a lot of things to do. But, you saving my family is the best thing I have seen today. I want to ask you: Is there anything you want as a reward?”
I thought for a second.
If I take any reward regarding money that won’t lead to the best outcome.
But if we refuse to take any reward, that will lead to a whole other outcome.
“Well… um… your majesty…” I was struggling to make a decision in the spar of the moment.
But..
“We want to join the royal academy.” Eva suddenly stood up and shouted across the ball room waking the asleep nobles.
“Is that so… huh?” The king pressed a finger on his face.
“I think that is wonderful, father!” Princess Chloe said supporting Eva’s request.
“I think we can make that happen, right honey!” The queen smiled at him.
Oh, I see now.
A three way trap.
Ever since Chloe saw Eva, they have suddenly become best friends out of nowhere.
I guess being a princess, she does not have many people she can be her real self around.
I think Eva had subconsciously bonded with her.
And even telling can say: A mother knows every mood of their child.
Happy or sad, your mother is the only person who you can be your real self around and not feel afraid.
I didn’t have that, did I?
“Well, then. It is decided,. You and your sister will attend the royal academy with everything already paid for. You will receive your monthly payment after every school task too. Mr. Rick here will show you your rooms after everything is settled too.”
“Thank you, your majesty…”
That is how the meeting with the king went.
True to his word, shortly after the meeting ended, Eigi, Rui and kakashi called me to show me around.
After the tour, Mr. Rick called me to show me our rooms.
It was two different rooms and still close.
It was a side by side door, in simple terms: two doors were facing facing each other.
The one on the right was Eva’s and the one on the left was mine.
“405 and 409.” This was the room number.
He also handed me three items: an item that looked like a phone, another that looked like a watch and a tablet.
“A phone…” I said without knowing.
“Ah… no… Close though, this is called a cell-phone. All these items were created and crafted by lady Lily.”
“Lady Lily of the moon kingdom?”
“Precisely.”
“I see now.”
Could she be another reincarnated like me.
Or does she have a really creative mind?
I guess we will have to wait and see.
After thirty minutes, I heard a knock from the door.
I walked and opened it.
It was a girl with beautiful blonde hair and green eyes.
She looked very pretty.
“Hello, my name is Ai Coles. And yours?”
“My name is Ria Karasuki.” I answered her.
“I kinda knew that already. I mean, aren’t you the one who joined hands with the future five.”
“Future five?” I asked her.
“Kakashi, Max, Eigi, Eiichiro and Rui.”
So they are called the future five.
Well, it is a weird nickname.
“Ring, ring, ring.”
“I am sorry, but I have to head out. Have a good night.”
“You too.”
Well, my bed is already laid so lets sleep.
I will do all the things I need tomorrow.
