The starter character of the Princess Saga, Austina Schloegn.
She recalls that Austina is very strong. Her lore is something about being one of the greatest swordsman in her kingdom.
And being a Princess, they have the capability to fight against the Rebels.
She recalls that the Rebels on Princess Saga are not really talking about a group of people. Rebel is a term used to a person or an object that has been infected by a supernatural negativity. This turns them stronger but they became more frenzied and prone to violence. Nothing can really harm them, not magic, not even conventional weapons.
Only Princess, girls who have something called a Princess Factor, have the capability to fight against a Rebel. Their role is to destroy the influence of negativity to the Rebel and turn them back to their former self.
It's basically the plot of the game.
She doesn't know if there are any Rebel in this world. The enemies on Princess Saga is pretty cliched, but thinking about encountering one of them is pretty terrifying.
She just have to find out.
'Yeah... but I still can't believe that I will meet THAT Austina in the flesh!' Her eyes brightened at that thought.
Without noticing her Master's gaze, Austina started to speak. "Milady, where should we go first?" She is glancing around her surroundings, checking for any danger.
"Hm. I don't know. Why don't you lead the way?"
"Okay!" A swift salute, and then she turned her back and took a step forward.
As they are walking, she can hear Austina humming a tune. There is a spring in her steps as she leads her.
Aozora don't know what to talk about so she just followed her.
Only the sounds of their footsteps and Austina's humming can be heard. There are also some sounds that seems to be coming from the insects in this forest.

'Well, this is awkward...'
Aozora can't help but feel awkward. Despite being known as a sociopath, she still have the common decency to talk to someone.
It's just natural. Two people walking on the forest silently, with nothing special happening is just too embarrassing. Even a small talk is fine.
"So Master. What is this world?" She has been beaten to punch by the Princess.
"Ah right..... actually, I don't know..."
Another silence. This time it feels more awkward. Even the sound of the insects felt like she is being mocked for this.
"Don't worry Master. It's fine if it's this quiet. I'd like to experience feeling my surroundings every now and then."
"Oh. Then, thanks... I guess?" Aozora bit her lips. 'Gah! She is trying to be understanding!? Now I felt like an embarrassment!'
She can only hang her head with a depressed air surrounding her.
----------------------------------------
"There is a dirt road there!"
Hearing the princess and looking at where she is pointing, she saw an opening within the group of trees. On the distance, she can see a line of brown.
She is elated to hear about that. "Great! Let's quickly go there!"
Austina nodded at her before the two of them run to that direction. Though, while running, Aozora almost stumbled. Her feet is unused to the uneven terrain.
"Ah!?"
She tries to close her eyes as she saw the grassy ground getting closer to her face. She waited for awhile, and not feeling anything, she slowly opened her eyes. She noticed that she is looking at the sky, and then at Austina's concerned face.
"Milady, are you okay?" Her eyes are looking at her full of worry.
Aozora tries to move around, but felt like she is limited to do so. She realized what is happening.
'Am I being princess carried!?' She flushed in embarrassment.
"Well then. Hold on tight. I'll carry you there!"
"Wa-wait!?"
Without minding her, Austina moves on the trees, passing through shrubberies and branches sticking out everywhere. Aozora held on for dear life, not expecting for this kind of speed.
'Ah! I just recall she is a superhuman!' She closed her eyes while holding onto the princess.
After awhile, she felt the movement ceased and a nudged within her shoulders.
"Milady, you can stand now."
She slowly open her eyes and saw her face looking at her, her eyes gentle and a small smile on her face. The princess kneeled for a bit, guiding her to her feet while she is still a bit lightheaded. She almost stumbled when she put her feet on the ground, but the princess supported her.
"... Thanks."
"Your welcome."
After those exchange of words, they look at the dirt roads.
"Hm... where to next?" She looks on the roads, contemplating on their next course of action.
"Why don't we go where the sun shines?"
She looks on the direction where the princess is pointing at before nodding at her.
----------------------------------------
With that, they begin walking once again.
Nothing special has happened that much. Walking until the sunset, they managed to find a settlement on the distance.
Without hesitation, they moved forward and walk to that settlement.
