Chapter 7
Wedding in Jabel pt.2
Waking up from an extremely refreshing 6 hour sleep (feels like 12 hours because of short-rest skill). I find my face buried in my sister Mandy's bosom. I guess she must have slipped in when I was unconscious. I am kind of mad that I did not notice her come in last night if she was an assassin I would be dead. I think that is one of the draw backs of short-rest, that when you sleep you get twice as much out of it at the price of sleeping like a log.
I start to push her away but she pulls me back in, I guess she isn't going to let go of her hug pillow that easily.
“Sister its time to get up there's a wedding today, and its yours!”, I say to her as she slowly opens her eyes.
“Kara why are you being so mean just let me enjoy my Kara-pillow for 10 more minutes.” She then chanted something and then said “I dont need to be anywhere for another hour anyways”
“Mandy I'll be your hug pillow if you promise to always take care of me if I need your help” I told her looking into her in the eyes.
“Kara you know that goes without saying, you are my sister and esteemed hug pillow I would do anything in my power for you.” Mandy reassured me.
After cuddling with Mandy for some time we finally got up and headed to the dressing room to get dressed. The wedding ceremony was going to happen early today and then later in the evening would reception/gala. After being explained what mmy duties were as part of the wedding party I found that the weddings here are oddly familiar to western weddings in my old world. There are many parallels between the two worlds and this makes me think there is a good possibility that there is other reincarnated people around.
The brides maids dress is pink and really frilly and I have to wear damn heels with it. Its fine though I know I look good in it and its for my favorite person in this world so I will bear with it. I will not be wear this any longer then the length of the ceremony. I look into the mirror, I find that I look a lot older then I am, I am clearly in the loli stage now even though I am only 5.
The ceremony is going without a hitch. We are now to the part where the brides maids and groomsmen walk down together. I have to hold some boy's hand? Mandy owes me big time! Anyways when my turn comes I find that the groomsmen is a young boy about 10 basically Aaron's age. He has short black hair and brown eyes, I can tell by how he walks that he trains hard. There is no wasted movement in his walk, very efficient.
When we finally lock hands his hands I find his hands are very sweaty. This is very gross I cant wait till we split before the altar, and he is blushing too this guy is totally nervous. I almost feel bad for him he is getting all nervous over some 5 year old, even though I look a lot older then that plus the fact that heels make it so I am only a little bit shorter then him.
Thank god we finally separated. I wipe off his sweat on my dress, that was so annoying. I now can feel the eyes of almost everyone in the audience upon me. I don't want to stand out but there is no helping it at this point. I was blind-sided into this role and now I am turning everyone into the audience into lolicons. Finally Mandy and Felix came down to the altar. I notice something familiar about Felix what is it? Oh yeah that nervous boy, that is definitely his little brother. Mandy and Felix exchanged there vows and kissed to end the ceremony.
After the ceremony I quickly departed to the dressing room. Claire, Mother, and myself were going to Mahouren today so we had to quickly change into street clothes so we wouldn't stand out. I was given a veil to cover my face, I think I am going to request to wear a veil from now on. Claire was taking a visit to see the campus which she would attend next year when she turns 9 and I was going to get looked at by the headmaster. Mandy wanted to give us a tour but she was way to busy today for obvious reasons
We came up to a giant gate, I guess this is the entrance to the academy. My mom got out and showed the guard some papers and the guard let us through. As we entered the the campus of Mahouren by carriage I could feel the thick magic barrier surrounding the campus, I cant imagine how many mages it took to cast it. Just to left of the entrance was impressive looking stables, which we pulled up to. After dropping off the horses and carriage we ventured into the campus.
Even though we are not trying to stand out, it is obvious that we are some type of nobles because of all the guards surrounding us. Our first stop is going to be at the headmasters office. It is located in a tower in the middle of the campus.
After talking to the headmasters secretary we are ushered into the headmasters office. I am quickly taken aback by the headmasters appearance, I was totally expecting to basically see someone who looked like Abbot and instead the person who greeted us a beautiful female elf. She had long silver hair and a snow white complexion.
“Its been a long time Elise how have you been?” My mother said to her.
“I have been very busy your highness” Elise quickly answered.
“Call me Ria we go way back Elise, anyways this is my daughter I wanted you to look at” she pushed me forward for me to introduce myself.
I removed my veil and said to Elise “ It is a pleasure to meet you I am Kara please take care of me.”
“Come here young child let me take a closer look at you” Elise asked me. I walked forward and I couldn't help but marvel at her beauty I knew elfs were naturally beautiful but actually getting up close to one I confirm that is an understatement. She then puts her hand on my head and sent some mana which traveled through my pathways and back into her hand.
“How old are you Kara?” Elise's expression has turned very serious.
“I am 5 years 3 months” I respond still in awe of her beauty.
“This is incredible your mana pool is so large for a kid your age even with royal blood. Not only that your mana so pure! Have you been cultivating your mana? If so who taught you to do so, was it court mage Abbot?”
Damn I could claim ignorance about having a large mana pool, but the purity of my mana is going to be hard to explain I guess I will try and BS my way out of this.
“Cultivating mana? I dont know what that is, I do like to close my eyes and try squeeze the power in my body together, I cant explain how I do it but I just can.” I tried to give an explanation that makes sense.
“So you have been cultivating your mana without realizing it? A 5 year old with this type of mana and amount, you are surely going to be a prodigy like your sister Mandy.” Elise was very thrilled at my apparent potential.
“Lets get your status and skills looked at.” she then started chanting some spell after a few seconds she cast it on me.
She seemed very surprised that it didn't work. I then asked her, “ Do you want me to remove this ring?” I showed her the ring that I had that created a mini barrier. All she could do was nod after casting the spell again with same result she was very intrigued.
“Well this is the first time in 150 years that my analyze spell has failed. You must possess some type of Gift that is interfering. Kara have you attempted to look at your own status?” Elise asked
“I am prohibited from practicing magic by my parents they say it is too dangerous. So I have never been able to try identification magic” I looked at my mom with despondent eyes. I threw my overprotective mom under the bus, this is payback for not telling me about the brides maid thing.
“Prohibited from practicing magic? As a mage yourself you can surely guide your daughter Ria, stopping her from practicing magic is a travesty for one that has such potential. Kara needs to be guided not just bottled up for safety. Now I am not telling you how to raise your children but you must understand people with this type of mana at such a young age are extremely rare.” Elise somewhat lectured my mom.
“Fine I will personally instruct Kara when we get back to Lorrington.” my mother beguilingly agreed.
“Well I look forward to both Claire and Kara attending Mahouren in the future.” Elise wrapped up our meeting.
After meeting with the headmaster we took a brief tour of the rest of Mahouren. This place was surely amazing. Everything you could want to do with magic whether it be enchanting, alchemy, inscription, or what ever you desired there were facilities dedicated to it here. Attending this place was going to be a blast. I am surprised that Aaron didn't want to go here, he instead is following in Max's footsteps in the army.
We got some lunch and headed back to the estate to get ready for the reception that would happen tonight to celebrate the wedding.
After taking a quick bath I went back to room to get changed. There was a maid waiting for me inside my room. On the bed is a fancy white dress, I guess the decision of my attire is not my own again. I put on my favorite garter-belt that has place to keep my dagger hidden. I then have the maid help me get dressed.
“Mandy said dont forget your lute.” the maid relayed a message to me.
My lute? This means......... She wants me to play at the reception? Dammit why do I have no say over these things. Well if Mandy is requesting me I cant say no, in fact I dont think I ever have said no to her. I am surprised that they have so much faith in me to perform in front so many people. This is going to be my first performance hopefully it goes well.
A few hours later I got to meet up with my Mandy right before the start of the reception.
“You and mom are really need to tell me about things like performing in a reception and being a brides maid. This last second ambushing is getting really annoying.” I vent my frustration to Mandy.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
“If we said anything about it early you would simply decline, you are too shy and we dont know why. You are wonderful you should try to put yourself out there people will love you.” Mandy tried to explain to me.
“That's exactly why I want to remain behind the scenes, you can get in trouble out in the open a lot more often then if remain behind the scenes. Getting tied up into other peoples business is something I want to avoid, I want to limit the amount of strings tied up to me. It has nothing to do with a lack of confidence” I explain the reason behind why I am so 'shy' and reclusive.
“You know you sure dont talk like a 5 year old. I can understand the reasons why you dont want to be tied up with other people but I hate to break it to you. You are a princess strings and politics are something you are going to get tied up in whether you like it or not.” She continued. “Anyways I know people will love your music, your instructor said she has never met someone as naturally talented as you.”
I blushed knowing my sensei and family thought so highly of my singing “Well guess I cant let you guys down, I am going to do my best.”
I warmed up for a little bit and then I was just waiting for the reception to start. The reception itself started with a big speech from both the bride and groom and the parents. The couple basically told stories how they met each other and the parents basically talked about there children growing up as well as what they expect from them in the future. At the end of the speeches Mandy signaled for me to come on stage.
“I am pleased to introduce Kara, she is my younger sister as well as one of my brides maids and she going to sing us a few songs.” Mandy then left the stage.
I had decided that I was going to sing one of Jennifer-tans songs adapted to the lute and this language. It was called 'Only one'.
I play the lute intro that was originally a guitar intro and then I start to sing.
“♫ Ever since I met you my heart has been acting weird ♫ “
“♫ It s causing me to think of you constantly ♫ “
“♫ But with you by my side I feel I can do anything♫ “
“♫ Don't you dare look at anyone else because....♫ “
“♫ I am your only one!♫ ”
“♫ Stay with we will have some fun♫ “
“♫ Baby we can do anything♫ “
I kept singing the song and I was feeding off all the emotion in the room, it was surreal. It was a high similar to sex and everyone was entranced and charmed by me I felt so powerful at this moment. So this is how Jennifer-tan felt, no wonder she enjoyed performances so much this is fun!
After my song I got a standing ovation multiple times louder then the ones the kings got after there speeches. It happened so fast that it felt like the song had only taken a few seconds but in reality it had been a few minutes. I sang a few mores songs that were equally appreciated and finally retired to get food and sit down for the next act.
The second I headed to the food table I was swarmed by everyone. “Marry me! I am in love” another person said “ You have captured my heart take responsibility” oddly that one was a girl. Many many more people started to swarm me and propose or thank me for a wonderful performance. Ugh this is bad I have charmed everyone here. Now they are fighting over me.
The guards finally showed up and escorted me away. When we finally got to the food table we were blocked off by a group that had even more guards then us.
“Get out of my way weakling” I large man who was extremely muscular dressed in really fancy armor pushed away one of my guards like he was a rag doll. I used analyze on him.

Holy shit this guy is strong. Definitely stronger then anyone I have analyzed. His aura is intimidating. He is the king of Rendil which is the 2nd biggest human country and the country with the largest army. It is one of only 2 countries that still have slavery and from what I have researched life there is pretty miserable.
“I am Darius king of Rendil. Woman I liked your singing. So I would like to make you one of my wives” Darius said it like I should be honored.
“Sorry, King Darius I am only 5 years old I dont even want to start to think about marriage for at least 10 more years and anyways I wouldn't want to be a queen in a country that still allows slavery.” I tried to decline him politely but he really disgusts me so it was hard.
“In our country the strong rule the weak, slavery is just a by product of that. Also I can marry anyone I want to regardless of age this is because what I say is law in my country since I am the strongest” Darius simply stated.
Well thank god I dont live in your barbaric country I thought. “Well if you are going to press me for an answer right now then I decline sorry I want to live have my childhood and go to Mahouren academy before I make any type of decision.”
“You will come around to me. I always get what I want.” Darius said and left with a smile on his face.
That guy is bad news I thought. I better let dad know that I will kill myself before I marry that pedophile barbarian.
The rest of the evening I continued to get barraged by marriage proposals. I didn't realize there was so many lolicons in this world.
*********************************************-
Darius POV
I just finished watching a fight in the coliseum here in Toulia it was pretty boring. The demon straight up outclassed the human he was fighting. I kind of want to go and fight myself but it would be boring as well. Jeez this is the most boring vacation ever.
I ask one of my advisers if there is anything to do here and I am informed there is wedding reception of royalty. This peeks my interest. The countries our Jabel and Termain. Whatever maybe I can find a hot concubine there so we head over.
I arrive and even though I was not officially invited I strong-arm the guards into letting me crash the party. Anyways the 2 kings are giving a speech. Still bored well whatever let me see if I can find a good lay for tonight.
Well the bride looks quite juicy blonde hair big boobs just my type. Guess she taking her might cause some issues, wait who is she introducing. Well a little young for my tastes but she is cute, you can tell she is going to develop into a nice lay when she grows up.
She then starts to sing and it is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I cant take my eyes off her she has me charmed like I have never been before. I will have her I might be plucking this flower premature but I will let her bloom in a vase before I enjoy her.
After she is done singing I approach her and propose to her. Unfortunately she is a princess so I cant demand her like I want. She says she is only 5! I thought she was at least 10 she is going to really develop in the future. She is knowledgeable about the slavery in my country. Sorry but women dont have a place in men's politics well unless they are strong and strong women are rare.
She declines me hardly surprising since she is only a child. She doesn't understand that to marry me is not her decision it is mine. I go and talk to her father and explain to him that I want his daughter. He tells me that he respects his children s decisions and will talk to her about it reminding me she is far to young to marry away. He is just stalling, Termain and Rendil have never had a good relationship. Whatever I will take what I want like I always do.
I summon an acquaintance of mine inside the city.
“Roland I have a mission for you and your mercenaries......”
