POV: Jona}

Waking up in the morning was nice.. after that training event with Rose it seems like I’ll find myself a bit not wanting to train today… maybe it’ll be a nice day you know?

While going down and getting the same breakfast that was served every day just a nice morning soup with toast.

But feeling as if I was being stared at way too much I looked up to see a woman in front of me with a hood on with her eyes on me like I am some treasure that was stolen from the royal treasury.

“What do you want….”

“That is simple your Highness” the crazy lady

I just sighed I hate people that are like this… that expect me to know why and who they are just by looking at their idiotic self. Do I look like a mind reader? Or a god? At that no… they should explain…

“And who… are you?”

“Your Royal Knight” Insane lady

…. Really is this… some woman that got out of a crazy house?... is this some sort of a joke? I didn’t even ask for this sort of crap this early in the morning… probably something the old man did… I can take care of myself just as well… no need to put a head case in my lap…

Stay calm… don’t let your poker face slip… maybe she’s just a super idiot…

“What is your name?”

I had said it this time with more demanding tone in my voice, making it seem like a command more than a question since I rather am over with this… since it shouldn’t even be happening… I mean I am not even from this world.

Nor do I want to be put into political issues… with whatever kingdom that seemingly lost a princess… only to be having some blame placed on me for some noble or prince to get out of some sort of trouble there in…

“Nimue is my name, of the Kingdom of Stars” Nimue.

She then removed her hood only enough to show me she’s an actual elf… or maybe just to scratch the back of her head I don’t know which, but why are you my knight? I am not an elf… sigh… this is really starting to turn into a bad day.

“And why are you to serve me?”

“Cause us Elven Knights only will serve someone of great power and bloodline.” Nimue

“And you think I am someone like that?”

“Yes, do you accept my service?” Nimue

…. Really? Why do the fucking Elves want to serve someone with high power? Isn’t that supposed to be beastmen? And the like?

“No…”

“I kne….What?!” Nimue

“No… I have no need of you”

I rather not have someone watching me all the time and trying to get me into their side of crap.

“Young Miss, I would take her up on the offer Royal Knights are special, they do not serve any kingdom, since their Kingdom of Stars is a floating island with nothing but strong warriors of Elves and Fairies, even Beastmen live there, but the only Royal Knights that has ever left their home are the Elves, the rest stick there and stay to themselves serving no one too someone comes to them.” Old men

I can’t help but think this will be pushed on me… even if I denied it…. Sigh…. Is this how fate plays with people? Making them lose their minds and want to kill everyone else?

“…. Why…?”

Keeping my inner torment to myself and Rose I got a feeling they would have told me even if I would turn them down.

“Have you even seen your titles?” Old men

Now that you think about it I never took time to look….

Lost Princess of FlamesMartial ProdigyChild ProdigyChosen of the Gods

…. That would explain why want to protect me because most prodigies usually died early…

“No… I seen my titles, but I rather not be watched like a child”

And I rather not have the pain of having to protect more people than survival… since Knights I seen before are more disgusting, the views of knights to me are more or less trash.

“And do you know the Kingdom of Flames has been destroyed for over 40 years?” Old men

“No…”

“They have held their ground against the demon beast that was a lot of bone dragons and even more powerful monsters for longer than any other war in history? They were the real Geniuses of War, they were able to destroy over half of the monsters that came out which counted over the millions with only one hundred thousand people, their king alone was able to slay a large amount by himself known as the Reaper of Flames” Old men said with pride as if he seen it with his own eyes.

“So?”

Sigh…. Why would I care of what happened in the past? It’s not like I have any need to worry about the past from them… since I can just find it in some library if they still know it...

“Oi, just take her with you if you find her useless after a few days you can tell her and she’d leave, they are like this. Even if you told her no she would follow you everywhere to you accepted it.” Old men

“Fine….”

‘This will be fun won’t it?’ Rose

If she gets us in a danger you would call that fun too?

‘oh come on! It’s not a problem to trust people a little bit you know?’ Rose

“YAY~” Nimue

Maybe… I should start calling her idiot? Cause she really is the annoying type I got a feeling saving that girl was a pain in the ass….

The night girl got up and walked in front of me then kneeled down before me.

“I Nimue Blu Alister hereby swear an oath to the God of War to serve you to the day I die, becoming your shield and sword.” Nimue

A blue flashing light came from around her and then settled on my arm making a symbol of a rose with a vine wrapping around a shield.

“You need to say ‘I accept the Oath of Nimue Blu Alister, and shall she break her Oath the punishment shall be decided by the Gods.’ ” Old man

Sigh… why does this shit happen to me?

“I accept the Oath of Nimue Blu Alister, and shall she break her Oath the punishment shall be decided by the Gods” Jona

The light before was bright but the light from me was blinding… a golden light that then made a chain like flames binded Nimue to the ground before slowly disappearing into her and me.

… really this is too much bullshit….

“Wow… I never expected my new master to have the legendary bind of the Reaper Flames…” Nimue

Not that I care too much about their names but I got a sick feeling I could always tell where this girl is and she can do the same, this world has too many secrets… that this said Flame kingdom left behind, why did the monsters come out to begin with? Was it the Gods that didn’t think they were a proper balance for this world and smited them down?

But this is the first time I even took the time to bother with what the girl looked like she has taken her cloak off or it has fell off to be more accurate since it is still in the seat, she has a visor that’s azure blue on the back of her head as if she moved it that way and like it can fold out to protect her eyes in combat, long beautiful pale blonde hair that goes down to her knees a nice blue colored eyes that seemed like a natural lazy eyed type of girl, but they sparkled with passion as her face still had a bit of childness in it making her look rather cute, with her ears pointed out being a clear definition that she’s a pure elf.

Her armor seems to be mostly silk or cloth of some kind most likely magically enhanced, because she only has one sheet of metal protecting the right of the chest with strings similar to mine holding it in place with both shoulders with the same type of metal folded like the visor on the back of her head seemingly like it could activate and protect her whole arm with a thin sword with a beautiful rose design sticking behind her back with a shiny metal sheath.

While under this armor was on the left side another layer of blue the same color of the visor that seemed to stretch down her left arm being her sword arm with shiny blue gauntlets on both arms while one has a shield like buckle on it that just covers the length of her elbow to her fist, but it seems to be able to spread out like a magical shield cause it’s thin with the same type of metal made from it, underneath the blue shirt like silk is a white dress that seemingly was the most normal of all the clothes she had on with a belt to hold it in place with metal protecting her thighs.

Hell even her boots and stockings are blue and made of the same material matching her eyes the whole way, but somehow I feel that she’s not that bright, but that’s just my personal idea of how I am use to seeing people.

“So my lord~ where do we go next~” Nimue

I swear I saw the old man sigh in relief and not for me just agreeing I can see tears in his eyes like he was too glad this girl is leaving this village.

“No clue… I was just going to keep going straight”

“Oh? That way is the beast kingdom and a boarder fort of the humans to keep watch in case of war times.” Nimue

Maybe… she isn’t as stupid as I thought she would be.

“We can save the weak people on the way~” Nimue

Never mind… She’s a total idiot…. Why would I care to save some stranger? I mean I lived in a peaceful world where not much was going on in the open… but I would never go out of my way to save anyone.

So I decided to do what I would want to do anyhow, I had the Idiot guide me to the shopping area to get different herbs and other foods, since my item box has proven to be useful hopefully it will keep meat fresh for a few days, with some wood blocks that was also free so I can try to make figurines like I did before maybe they can make money here…. As well as any type of cloth we can get here, even if it’s poor at least this village had a poor version of cotton though it is mostly crude leathers here too, I couldn’t help but want a few of them.

Luckily for me this idiot was rich enough to buy whatever I wanted, though she questioned on why we needed all the herbs, and cloths, but I just told her it would be easier to make food and blankets on by ourselves then buy them for a higher price.

I guess I will head to the fort now… and decided that I had everything I wanted and started walking not caring if Nimue followed me or not.

But she seemed disappointed that I didn’t say much to her and also confused on what to say now so she stayed silent and followed me off into the sunrise…

God… why did they have to push this kind of crap onto me….
