Chapter 11 : The Spoilt Girl

Chapter 11 : The Spoilt Girl

After having a nice chat with my father,i went to my room. When i entered my room, i was blown away by the size and luxuriousness. The room was bigger than my old house. Not only did my room have two floors but my closet did too. My closet was enormous, it was half the size of my old house. Inside it were an assortment of clothes, it had every colour of dresses,shirts,skirts and underwear imaginable.

What pissed me off was not the amount of money wasted on the clothes which most were not even worn once,what pissed me off was that, there were no damn pants. She had close to a thousand clothing and not one of it were pants. After my outrage was over,i went to explore more to get myself more familiar with the room i would be in for a long while. I went into the a gold colour door inside the closet to get a look at what was inside.

Okay,this princess is seriously spoilt. This amount of jewelry could buy a carrier easily! Why the fuck does she need so much jewelry for! There is so much inside that i doubt she even worn everything more than once.

Inside the gold room was a kaleidoscope of gold,ruby,emerald,topaz,sapphire and many more precious gems. My hands were twitching and my mind was telling me to grab hold of everything but my rational side stopped it. All these were already mine, there was no point in try to take them all.

Maybe i should take a ring or two with me, just in case.

Hey, don’t judge! Who could resist such temptation.

After looking through everything in my room, i went the bedside table to plan my next step.

Okay that resistance guy said i needed to get the aid of the finance minister, the Emperor, Duke Kinston Biwar, the Academy Head Wise Agnor and the four great guild.

So how am i going to do that? It’s not like i can just go to them and ask them” would you like to partake a revolution and help overthrow the Legion?”

Judging from my previous interaction with the emperor, i know i can easily manipulate him into helping me. So there’s one down i guess. When the emperor wants to go to war,he’ll need to convince other people in power to comply. If I can get the others to help, the rest will follow.

The finance minister should be Duchess Elina Thorne, from my memories not much is known about her. It’s says she is a very quirky person and is the head of the merchant guild. She is very mathematical and all she thinks are numbers. If i can convince her the advantages of helping the resistance is going to be advantageous, it should be easy. But that is if i can even convince her.

When my father wants to go to war, we will need her approval. She will be needed to convincing the other ministers. Even if my father is the emperor,if all the big heads disagree, he can’t do anything.

Duke Kinston Biwar is a magical weapon manufacturer and he also has many ore mines. From my memories, although he is a very greedy person but he would always say true to his word. He likes gold and riches but dislikes owing a debt to people. If i want his help, I need to do something that would make him indebted to me.

He will be needed for his weapon supplies. During war,weapons are always a must.

Academy Head Wise Agnor should be a difficult one. I have very little knowledge of him in my memories. All i know is that he is the current headmaster of Skyin Academy and is a member of the mage guild. Skyrin Academy and the four guilds are the only ones who goes not have to be under the emperor. Skyrin Academy is an unaffiliated school to nurture the next generation of mages and to pursue the the enigma of magic. I do not know what is personality is like nor do i know how even looks like. This is going to be a hard one.

He is said to be the most powerful mage in Iranda, he should be a great help during the war.

The four guilds are the mage guild,craftsmen guild, adventuring guild and the merchants guild.

The mage guild is similar to the academy. It’s goal is to unravel the mysteries of magic but it does not accepts students. Only the best and and smartest of mages are allowed in this guild. The only method of joining this guild is though the invite of an active member.

This guild should have a lot of mages with high power. They will be very useful in a fight.

The craftsmen guild is a place where people from all walks of life go to. It houses the best blacksmiths, carpenters, weaponsmiths, armorsmiths, jewelers and many more artisans. They aim to best in their profession and be the best craftsmen. They are innovative and always tinkering in making new technology. Unlike the other guilds, craftsmen guild is not very old and is the smallest.

All the best inventors are in this guild and they will be a great help in learning Holakur weapons and defenses. We can use them to build better weapons or replicate Holakur technology.

The adventuring guild is the biggest guild out of them all. They aim to explore and discover the world. They would travel to the outlands in groups in search of treasure or new land. They face many untold dangers while exploring. They have not really travel far due to some areas of the outlands being too dangerous to enter. Some are the territories of ancient beasts that no adventuring team wants to encounter. Thus only the outlands nearby Iranda have been fully mapped. Anything beyond the Great mountains were not mapped.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

From my talk with father, i now know that holakur was on the other side of the mountains, thus adventures do not dare travel beyond, afraid of wendigos that nest there. However it was only after Holakur uncovered a hidden path below the mountains that Holakur had safe passage to Iranda. This means that now, people of Iranda can safely travel across the mountain and explore the other side.

The adventuring guild has a lot of great warriors,fighters and mages. They are needed to bolster our forces.

The merchant guild is the second biggest guild, It deals with trading and information. It trades for materials from beasts in the outlands and mana crystals from mines.  This guild is the place adventurers goes to after going to the outlands to sell what they got. This guild also sells information.

Merchant guild will be useful in providing supplies and money for the war.

Okay these four guild except the craftsmen guild will be difficult to enter and ask for help. To ask their help i would have to enter the guild and become friends with the higher ups of each guild. Even if I am the princess, I doubt they would help me. I could ask for their help by using my powers as the princess but they would most likely decline. The best bet to get them fully on my side is to join their guild.

Mage guild is obviously impossible to enter unless i become a better mage and get the invite of one of the members.

Adventurer guild would require me to have great strength and skills to enter. With my memories and skills implanted into me, i should be able to enter easily. But there’s one big problem, i don’t have any guns! I am now the princess, so it was not like the Legion would have given me a collection of weapons when i am going to be undercover as the princess. This means the only thing i can rely on is my military knowledge on fighting, mana and spirit energy.

But my mana pool is still small as heck and my spirit core has it finish forming. I can feel that it’s getting close but it would still take a while more. I would have to wait a while before i can be a competent fighter.

The merchant guild would be easy and hard at the same time. If I can convince them that helping the Resistance overthrow the Legion would be a great investment, they could help me. However, I’m not sure whether this would be enough to convince them. I will have to think of a better method in the future.

The craftsmen guild would be easy though, with my memories. I have so much memories on the technology of Holakur. All i have to do is replicate some of the smaller items and i will be known as a genius inventor.

All in all, the Emperor and the craftsmen guild will be easy. Mage guild, Skyrin academy headmaster, adventurer guild, Duke Kinston Biwar will be difficult. For the Duchess Elina Thorne and the Merchant guild, they will be my hardest challenge.

Okay i can do this, first I need to start by slowly befriending them, i doubt they would say yes if i just ask them to fight a war straight away. I need them to be my friends and support my cause.

First I should get used to this place and get as much information as possible. Perhaps something new will popup. While i doing that i could have some fun being rich and powerful, if i am a princess i should at least have fun as one. From my memories the princess was quite spoilt and always got what she wanted. So this means that even if i did something wrong or acted out of character, people won’t notice it.

What could go wrong?

=====Two weeks later=====

Crowned Prince Azir POV

It has been two weeks since Anna returned and she has gotten worst. I thought father sending Anna away as an ambassador would make her become more responsible but not only did nothing changed, she has gotten even worse!

I already told father that he should stop spoiling her so much but he never listens! Ever since mom died, he treated her like his precious. Whatever she says, he’ll do. When she came back the week before, she asked to changed her guards again!

And he said yes again! That’s the fifth time her guards were changed.

Unbelievable!

Good strong guards don’t grow on trees! It takes so much resources to get a platoon of strong guards that complements each other well.  That’s so much crystal points wasted! Even her wardrobe is a waste of crystal points, she has so much stuff in there! Now that she came back, she now started to waste even more crystal points.

I need to see father right now to correct her behaviour or else in the future she will blow everything in our treasury away!

At least there is one good thing that happened from the trip, she started to take her magic training seriously. Her tutor has said she had a sudden interest in wards and spells after she came back from the trip. Perhaps she is finally going to stop slacking on her training. I shouldn’t get my hopes up though. The last time she was interested in something useful, she lasted a week before she gave up.

If the guards or servants in the castle were looking around, they would see Azir speeding through the finely decorated halls like a man on a mission. His white cape flowing through the wind behind him as he quicken his pace. They could see that he was grumbling to himself as he headed towards the throne room.

“Father!” Azir said as he reached his father.

“You need to do something about Anna, she is getting far too spoiled. She is ruining the image of our family. You have to do something!” Azir complained.

“What are you talking about Azir, she’s fine. There’s nothing to worry about, as she grows older she will mature. Just let her have her fun.”  the emperor replied.

“Yeah right!” Azir replied sarcastically.

“Just this week, she went to restaurant and spent a hundred thousand crystal points on just food. When i asked her how she could spend so much on just food, you know what she said?” Azir asked.

“She said that she just wanted to have a bite out of every dish to see how each dish tasted.” Azir complained.

“That’s fine, it’s just food that’s all, there is nothing to worry about. You are just being strict agian Azir”  the emperor replied.

“Oh, that’s not the only thing she’ve done. There’s more!” Azir said.

“Three days ago, when she saw her old guards that went with her to Holakur, she had them sent out of the castle and didn’t allow them to return.” Azir said.

“Whatmore, i even heard her muttering to herself about how she could always get more crystal points from you if she ever spends too much. She has no sense of humility or self dependence. She thinks that any problem she has can be solved by you. If this goes on, she will not be able to take care of herself properly in the future. ” Azir said.

“How could i have been so blind to this. I just wanted to her to have everything she wanted so that she won’t feel lost about her mom's death. But i guess i took it too far, huh? Then what do you suppose we should do?” the emperor asked.

“You know how she said about not she didn't want to go to Skyin Academy because of the commoners there and you had to get her a tutor instead?” Azir asked.

“I think we should send her to there. This will teach her to be more humble and learn how to socialize with others. Moreover, I think you should remove her title as princess and let her live on her own. Give her a fake identity as a commoner so that she learn to take care of herself without the help of others. Only allow her to get back her title if she finish her four years of school. This will also force her to improve her mana pool and train her skills properly if she wants to pass the academy exams.” Azir said.

" Father, i know i'm being mean to her right now but she needs to grow up! I can't just let her ruin our family image! I just want our family and the country to prosper! What would the people say if they saw how badly she's acting!"Azir said.

"Sigh! I know what to do, you may leave now." the emperor said with a grim face.
