[Inizio!: His Thoughts II]
Royal Guard of The Princess POV: (Asasino Cuerpo Member)
Us Royal Guard of the Princess have Three Factions to serve for the use of the Royal Family and give them Protection
The [Asasino Cuerpo] -Those who Specializes working in the dark to serve the Light
The [Guardabosque El Brigada] -Those who act as spies for lurking and working in other countries
The [Ligero Paladines] -Those Directly On guard duty In the Main Castle
I , A member Of [Asasino Querpo] am currently watching the princess getting chased by the Goblins that are wreaking havoc
I have a reason for not directly helping her even though she's Suffering
It is to make sure She get's to experience the harsh reality of the world outside of the castle walls due to the direct orders of the [King]
don't get me wrong , The king loves his daughter , The First Princess as much as He loves his own wife but...
As everybody in the castle know's that the princess is such a tomboyish brat who doesn't listen to anyone
one day the [King] wanted her to gain atleast the strength to protect her own well being
but she ran away due to many people that kept pestering her
she was annoyed and just ran straight away to the forest of [Twilight el Male]
due to the king finally getting tired of her stubborn attitude he ordered me , A member of the [Asasino Cuerpo]
to always watch over her and keep her safe while making her atleast experiencing her harsh surroundings head on
but if the princess get's scratched or harmed physically then the [King] will directly order me to bring myself to Death
as the princess finally get's cornered by a big open space surrounded by giant leave-less tree's
with me observing everything from above hiding on one of the branches of the giant tree's
She finally started to break down
I ready My [Double Katana] sword technique to swoop In and save her whenever neccesary
I don't think [Physical Enhancement Magic] is neccesary because im quite confident in my speed
and when the goblin was about to hit the princess with a hair width length of space between them-
"ohoo~ interesting"
Standing in front of the [First Princess] ...judging from his facial features is a really Handsome boy with jetblack well combed hair split in the middle while to the right has longer volume of hair with the left having the shorter volume wearing a jetblack robe covering his nostrills down upto his legs
he blocked the goblin's Bone club with a kick
"what a fast step Movement"
it was amaturish but still plausible
he also went faster on the middle of his dash when his surrounding [aura] seemed to be condensed in heavy air
was it a coincidence that he calculated that type of air arriving from that certain time?...no it's different...but is there even anything more plausible than that?
anguishing over my thoughts i decided to continue watching him fight while protecting the princess
{after some time}
The battle was finally over and he was even helped by a [1 star] beast type White rabbit, what a strange duo...heh
Seeing him approaching the princess I stand up readying my katana
"Try doing anything to her you little shit and It's your death the next second you do something vulgar..."
"HOY WAKE THE HELL UP"
it seemed that my worries were just for naught
kuku-hahahahaha , a kid that dare shout at an imperial princess when he even see's that battered clothing she's wearing with the [Topazio] Kingdom's royal family Symbol-
Oh lucky him , the most important part of the fencing uniform seemed to be ripped
"really interesting..."
while continuing watching them from afar
"pffft!"
Is That Seriously The [First Princess]!?
nah that ain't her , She's the type to act tomboyish with those middle aged men and his younger and older brothers surrounding her on training sessions
seeing her Squirming around and being red and all
"Ahhhh So that's how it is~Hahhhhh..."
I sigh at the moment of realizing she hasn't gotten psychologically hurt but... it was more than that
A maiden In love , yep that's 100% it
Watching their Interactions made me Remember My Family and Wife
"yeahh I think she's in good hands now"
she surely would go home in about 1-2 more days after spending some time with him , right?
yeah let's do that
I turn my back from the Two children interacting and jump from tree to tree to Report to the King
"Black Hair , Platinum Eyes huh..."

[Coro!: Her Decision]
Princess Beatrice POV:
It's been a day since I Have been spending time with Gray-san and Usagi-chan in this dark scary forest but...
when im with him I feel strangely safe while having a Strong sense of security and comfort
yes...by now I had already realized it
I [Beatrice Un'de Giallo] is in love with Gray-san
I love the way he look's when he think's
I love the way his platinum colored eyes look at me with warmth
I love his smell that Has a tinge smell of a strawberry scent
I love how he looks so mature that it completely betrays his age
I love his elegant Movement's that completely beat's my father's even with him being royalty
I love the way he Treats me with kindness
I really Love Gray-san...
but I wont tell him just yet...
why? Cause he thinks im a boy!!!
"Yo Flavo , wanna go wash up together?"
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
he ask's while pointing at the river
"N-no It's Ok im fine , You go In first"
I said while blushing covering my face with my hands but made a slight space between my finger's to peek at his small yet mature , manly body
yes...it was strange for a six year old to have this kind of build
Gray-san is really weird
Every 5 Hour's he does this Weird set of movements he calls 'Work out' then he comes back really sweaty afterwards
then he train's himself with another different set of movements he call 'Martial arts'
I also know martial art's because of the fencing practice I always skip
so this is martial arts huh~
looking at him practicing different battle poses
one even had made him do a peace sign while folding his arms...it looked embarassing but it doesn't matter ss he looked so into it
'Was martial art's always this cool looking!'
I said to myself
then after finishing his training we go hunt for fish together at a river to get our lunch along with usagi-chan knawing on some strawberries...
"Eeeeeek! it's so slimy and slippery!!!"
"Hahahaha Stop acting like a girl and man up Flavo!"
'But I Am a Girl Though!!!' is what I really wanna tell him but I just cant...I become too scared and act like a coward...
No
I need to change myself!!!
"Ok! Gray-san let me slice it up and cook it! I promise I won't get scared off of it's blood and scream anymore!"
{Eventually I screamed non-stop the whole morning when I was butchering the fish}
"ahhhhh im so full~"
"Im so sorry Gray-san , You made food for us instead of me again..."
"nah don't mind it , I've always liked cooking"
so say's my prince charming while smiling at me...it's the first time i've saw him smile with a face overflowing with happiness...
I reflexively looked down trying to avoid eye contact while blushing deep red
ahh mouu can you stop that...my heart already can't take enough!!!
"H-hey Gray-san what's you're type of Girl?"
huh why are you looking at me surprised like that...
oh...wait a minute...i just casually asked that without much thought and...
UWAAAAAH!!!!!!
THAT WAS BASICALLY A CONFESSION WASN'T IT!!!
"I DIDN'T MEAN WHAT I SAID! WHAT I MEANT WAS I'M ASKING FOR YOUR PREFERENCE IN WOMEN AND ALL AND YOU KNOW BECAUSE IM HAVING SOME KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH A GIRL..."
I kept making up excuses and lies
I feel so despicable right now
"Hahahahahaha so that's what you meant , well..."
just as always my Hero... always kind and considerate of others
as soon as he started talking he carried and pet the drowsy looking Usagi-chan on his lap
"A strong woman With Long beautiful Hair with a pretty face, I guess? Ehehehe..."
he tell's me while slightly blushing like a tomato
Mouuuu why do you have to act so cute like that!!!
you'll just make me fall for you more!!!
"heeehhh~ so Gray-san was into long hair huh~"
I poke fun at him while continuing our talks
"W-well that's that , Im gonna go take a quick nap before doing another Work out session before this afternoon ends...oh by the way do you know the way to the nearest town here from [Topazio] kingdom?"
I nod up and down a few times
This Was a chance for a date!!!
"Gray-san...D-do you want to travel to the nearest village of [Topazio]'s with me?"
please say yes ,please say yes ,please say yesssss!!!
I just want to spend more time with him!
I'm still not ready for us to part with each other!
Oh~~ zeus! up there in the heavens! please listen to this selfish request of mine , I barely asked you for anything since birth and so make this wish of mine...please grant it!!!
"yeah sure why not?"
m-my wish came trueee?!!
thank you to the forefathers up above!!!
---------------
after his 'workout' for the whole afternoon
we should go and get to the outskirts of this dark forest first to avoid dangerous creatures lurking from the dark and walk more to cover a little more leeway so the earlier we get to [Topazio] the better, he say's
but I want to spend more time with you though...Hmph! Gray-san you Baka Meanie!!!
It's now night time , while I will be using the Single sleeping bag he has
Him in the other hand is sitting and leaning on a tree's bark folding both his arms while playing with his hands
'He's doing something weird again'
Gray-san was currently playing with fire using his black gloves on both his hands
when I asked him earlier what he was doing he said it was 'magic training'
seriously? how many different types of training do you have to do for you to stop and get some rest!
but it seem's when I ask him the reason why he was training magic at this age
he said:
'you see my Mana capacity is really low and when I say really low I mean even lower than a 1 Year old baby kind of low'
I see...So that's why Gray-San always intensely trains every 5 set of hours
but why and what is the reason he is training for though?
"Hey Gray-san why are you in a rush to get stronger, I mean ,Yes I understand your low Mana Proficiency but You're Physical abilities are already high enough to beat 3 Goblins easily you know?"
"well first of all I Just want to get stronger and have sufficient strength to protect myself and Usagi-chan you know , and I didn't 'Easily' beat those 3 Goblins...Usagi-chan actually helped me with him giving me these [Equipment] set of two black gloves"
"I see...hey Grey-San?"
"yes Flavo?"
"Well get seperated from tomorrow onwards when we arrive at the nearest village of [Topazio] tomorrow right?"
Saying that realy hurt me a lot but... I can't be selfish here...Gray-san also has his own life and place where he wants to be...
"yeah..."
he mumbles for an answer
"Hey Gray-san will there be a place that you will stay for a long time in the future?"
"hmmm a place that I might stay for a long time to huh...Oh! Yeah at [Lemuria Academy]!"
Lemuria Academy? The most prestigious school in this country where Onii-chan and I would go to in the future huh...
wait...LEMURIA ACADEMY!!!?
"EHHHH GRAY-SAN WILL ALSO GO THERE?!"
"E-eh yes , but I plan to work hard to achieve it and Apply to join there though..."
when I heard his answer that wasn't sure if he would enroll there
I became slightly upset
"But I will Go there no matter what..."
As he leans on the bark of the tree , he reaches his hand up to the sky as if grasping the stars and closing it Gently but firmly
Seeing him like that...awoke something inside me...
"Gray-san when we meet there again after 9 years , Promise me you'll remember me okay!!!"
I'll immediately search you for the Opening day and Finally be together with you again for 5 whole years of school life-
I'll surprise you how much I've Changed
so until then...
"Im gonna plan to become really strong and surpass you ,Gray-san!"
to be able to stand beside you
"Oho~ Cocky words coming from someone who keeps screaming at the sight of raw fish meat"
"T-That may be so but that's only for now! You cant compare the past with the future! So until then get strong and Stronger Gray-san and then We'll challenge the Academies Five different Labrynths together!"
"heh~ don't cry if I beat you up too much and lose okay?"
Gray-san I have decided...to become a woman that deserves you...
And to be able to get stronger and stand beside you with strength to protect you , That is my decision...
My Noblesse Oblige...
"nnh!"
I mumble so and nod and affirm his challenge with all my determined will
and until then please wait a little longer then...and when the time comes...I can finally proudly proclaim my love for you...

[Finito!: Parting with a Friend]
Gray/Matsuri POV:
Right now In the middle of the bustling town near the borders of [Ametista] and [Topazio] Kingdom was a Column of many organized Food stalls!
Walking side by side with Flavo on my Right looking down on the ground and with dead fish eyes
and Usagi-chan on top of my left shoulder-
the three of us were enjoying various foods bought from the stalls until we exhaust all of Flavo's money~
"Gray-san you sure can eat a lot huh~"
he ask's while smirking at me
"and? W-what seemed to be the problem with that?...!"
He was smirking but his eyes were dark and cold with an intimidating stare
it was a very cold look that he was giving me
"Gray-san...do you know how much pocket money that was...No im just gonna not try to think about it..."
"ehehehe~ sowwymasen~"
I mumbly aplogise while chewing down the fried squid that I bought using his money
I scratch my cheek while a smile blooms on my face
||||||||||
Walking arund the lively town for about half a day with Flavo acting as My and Usagi-chan's tour guide was really fun-
and now came at the end of the day...it was the sunset...
the orange colored evening sky with the setting sun...the cold wind breezing by us
This was the last time That I would see Flavo...
until 9 more years at the academy where we would meet again...
Departing like this was kinda sad...
my first human friend...Flavo
"Gray-san...I've enjoyed the past 2 days journeying with you...It was short but for me...It already became an Important chapter on my book of life"
he said so while smiling at me
"yeah...flavo get stronger and try to surpass me ok!? I won't forgive you if you dare slack off!!!"
at first I just found him annoying
"of course Gray-san! you too make sure to not get left behind by me...well then until 9 more years! bye bye!"
but as the longer that I came to know him it gradually became fun
"sure...until we meet again..."
he runs off cutely in the middle of town and-
huh ,why did he stop midway?
he turns back here again and running at full speed without breaks then slams into me hugging me tightly
"Gray-san I'll really miss you!!!! Uweeee~~"
He then start's crying
"H-hey now stop crying already jeez , Was your promise to be stronger just a fluke..."
I hug him back and notice that there were also streams of teardrops falling from my eyes...
I see so this is how it feels to really value a friend huh...
we both hugged each other for a couple of minutes standing still in the middle of the road while crying...
he then turned and left walking with slow steps one at a time
---------------
Princess Beatrice POV:
After rushing at him and tightly hugging him for who knows how long I immediately turned back and walk-
The first step using my right foot leaving with no regrets after I have said everything I wanted to tell you...
a second step using my left foot Which was my unspoken confession with the words still hanging on my mouth that was meant to say 'I Love You'...
a third one with the step of every fun memories...Every second I was with you
a fourth step which is me remembering the many times I have always counted on you
a fifth step for remembering that Promise I made with you
Then I dashed simple and starightforwardly on the road which for me was a message for me saying 'thank you'
then I turned back and looked at the small but independent crying boy with his head held down rubbing his eyes with overflowing countless teardrops dripping with it-
"sniff* who'se the crybaby now Baka... Sniffle~~"
and lastly a simple action of a full whole smile showing you which for me meant what I wanted to say 'Im greatful for meeting you'
||||||||||
after Saying my farewell's to Gray-san and running off leaving him again without saying anything when I left...Im sure we'll meet again...
"Father Im back!"
I knocked on the Giant door of Our Summer Mansion that was a 1 day trip from our main castle
with the Butlers and Maids Lined Up on the Sidelines of the Red long carpet
"Welcome back Ojou-sama"
They all greeted me at the same time
"Maid's prepare a Shower for me"
"Understood Ojou-sama"
"Butlers , Prepare My clothes"
"The usual Pajama's and Shirt Ojou-sama?"
"No , A dress made for practicing on Fencing"
"EHHHHHHHH"
Everyone shout's at the same time on my remark'
was it really that surprising?
"O-our Ojou-sama...is F-finally changing!"
hey! what rude Servant's
but well it was also fun conversing with them like this
||||||||||
after showering I change into a blue gown fit for fencing and put on the Blue Colored Diamond like [Royal] Family's Earring's which I got from our treasury
"Father!"
I open the office door without manners and my father looking at me surprised
"Oooh Princess , You look really beautiful!"
"Thanks and ,I Want you to teach me Basic fencing"
"why not the Traditional Royal Family's fencing?"
"In Order to become stronger...One must start on the basics first"
this were Gray-san's words
"I See!...Prepare for the worst My daughter! , This old man Is not gonna hold back!"
"just how I want it!"
Gray-san , Arigato
