Duke gray: "...does that mean we don't have a hero."
Simad nodded, the duke was sock about it. He did know why they didn't choose them.
Other countries didn't like them much, some do, but other don't. The reason why was they didn't like how good their country looks.
How they let the other tribes and races lives their. And how Rich it is. They are full of jealous, envy, and prideful.
They mostly don't like other races and tribes, but they don't have much choice to let them stay in their country. Because if they don't, their country will fall behind. But they treat them bad and enslave them. Which got their country ahead of simad.
The only good country for other tribes and races will go is simad kingdom. Which they don't treat them bad. They treat them equally.
They were the ones who have convinced the heros to join them. Telling them that simad kingdom are the ones who are the bad guys. And spreading bad rumors about them.
Even though the heros didn't see it themselves with their own eyes. They believe them and join them.
Duke gray didn't know what to say, as he stay silent. Not just him, but everyone around, the knights, maids, and butler. Everyone around there had a sad, and angry expression.
As the atmosphere starting to get worse. Simad spoke to in a hurry.
Simad: "but don't worry everyone. Even if they didn't choose us. We got something way better than the heros themselves."
Everyone turn to look at him as they heard him say that.
Yuuto: "? ...wait a minute??!"
Simad smiles as yuuto got a bad feeling.
Everyone: "is it the princess?" "What does he mean?" "I'm curious." "Who do you think might be?"
As they having conversations with each other and figuring out who might be it. Simad intruder them and spoke.
Simad: "behold, this is our hero."
He yell as he smiles and pointed on top of the carriage.
-"..."-winds are blowing as no one spoke. Nothing has happened yet. Everyone are confused by simad action.
As for arc and simad family just felt embarrassed, while shiro and them look at yuuto who didn't want so show himself.
Everyone: "um, who?" "Is he pointing at the sky?" "Has he gone crazy because no one pick him." "He might be."
As everyone started to worry about their king, simad felt more embarrassed about his actions but ignore it as he spoke.
Simad: *cough* "I'm fine, I know your worried about me but I did find someone better than the heros."
He turns around and look at the Carriage that has nothing on top of it.
Simad: "h-hey yuuto, don't make me look stupid and get out here."
Duke gray: "my lord, calm down, I know it's shocking that the heros didn't choose us. But you have to calm down."
Simad: "I am calm, I'm not cray as well, just look look."
As they starting to feel bad and worrying about the simad. Kiana spoke.
Kiana: "hey, we should go. I kinda feel bad for him."
Spirit: (she's right you know, just look at them. Their expression shows pity.)
Yuuto: "ha~ fine then here's goes."
As everyone was worried about simad yuuto spoke.
Yuuto: *cough* (ha~ here's goes.) "Simad do I show myself."
Sorry, I didn't want to say sorry to him. Anyway back to the story.
Everyone: "who's that." "Sounds like a kid." "But where is it coming from."
Everyone was confused as to where the voice comes from as they look around, which in a instant all the knights surrounded simad, as for Simad he smile as he heard his voice.
Simad: "see, I'm not crazy, anyway here's the hero."
As he calls out Yuuto, he hesitant but Gave up since it won't progress if he doesn't do anything.
So he unleash his
As he did, Everyone who saw them was confused but shook it off and protect the king and arc familys in a instant.
Even the butler and maid took out daggers and knifes as they took a stances to protect their King.
Yuuto who saw that was stutter.
Spirit: (...that was surprising?)
Everyone nodded to her word.
Like she said, it surprised us. A maid and butler having knife for any moment to protect or attack anyone.
I read some novel about some butler having been into battle or was a formal knight before retired.
But for maids, I only see them when someone gets reincarnated as a villainess. There are some maid in different story that protects the royal family.
While thinking what to do next, simad spoke as he kept telling everyone to calm down.
Arc: "everyone calm down!"
Arc spoke loud.
Everyone shut up by his loud voice and lower their daggers and knifes.
Simad: "phew, thanks arc."
Arc nodded.
Simad: "like I said, this is our hero for this country. He may look like a kid, but he is more stronger than any heros who was summon. As you can see, he come out of nowhere."
Yuuto: (nowhere? Wait, I didn't tell him about
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Everyone: "they look so young." "3 girls and 1 boy, lucky baster." "3 has black and white hair color." "Your right, except 2 girl who has different eye color and one girl who has grey and blue color." "Enough of that, they sure are strong." "Your right, I never seen any kind of magic like that before."
As they give their impression and opinion at yuuto and them. Simad clean his throat and spoke again.
Simad: "Enough, I want you guys to respect them, we will give our all to defeat the demon king. As for now, let's party."
-*chears*-
When he declare, everyone, mostly men, roar in joy, but before they go in the castle something unexpected happens.
-*bam*-
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard. When you look, you see simad laying face down at the ground. Smoke coming out of his head with a pump as the ground was crack.
And next to him was a figure standing up, it was his wife, Elizabeth, her eyes close in anger, with smoke coming coming out of her right fist.
Everyone who saw that fell silent and stop moving. All of their face Turin pale and sweaty alot.
Not just them but Alice, Lilia, and their little brothers were scare. Even arc. As for amber, she just smile like she knew it will happen.
Elizabeth: "oh my, no no no, you have to do your job first then you can party. Okay sweetheart."
As she put her left hand on her left cheeks while smiling. And grab simad collar with her right hand, as she drags him towards the pathway to the castle as amber and her family follow suit. in which Everyone split sideways to make a way for them.
She suddenly stops, turns around to look at yuuto and them, and spoke.
Elizabeth: "oh yuuto, you guys can go look around here or around the whole kingdom. But do comeback when it gets dark. We will have to make a party for you guys as a hero. As for now, we have to make plans for the future."
Yuuto nodded.
Elizabeth: "now then, Lilia and Alice, would you mind takings them around the kingdom. Make sure you guys come back safe. Now if you excuse me, we have much to talk now. Goodbye."
She then left and enter the castle. Once we can't see her anymore. Silent continue for seconds, but it soon broke out. As a horse sneer, Everyone then Sigh in belief.
Yuuto and them got off the carriage as it left to this other road with horses.
Spirit: (that was scary.)
Everyone nodded.
Yuuto: (..?! I'm scare now. I'm afraid, I hope that won't happen to me.)
his body shivers when he thought about it. But he doesn't know that it will happen in the future. Not just 5 but more.
Duke grey: "well of you excuse me, I must go. It nice to meet you heros."
He bow down and left.
Shiro: "so... what now?"
Now that I think about it. The only ones here are me, shiro, shino, Kiana, spirit, Alice, Lilia and that kid.
What's his name again?
But Before asking him Alice spoke.
Alice: "oh, this is duke grey son, his name is Derrick duke."
Derrick duke: "it nice to meet you hero."
Derrick duke(-I should call him D.D. now) looks young like our age. He has black hair and eyes. As for his father, he has grey hair and a mustache. His body was built like a bodybuilder.
Anyway, what strange for me was his eyes, it's all hallow. Even tho he gives bright expressions. but that won't work for me.
I could clearly see something inside him. It Gives off an unpresent feeling.
Spirit: (are we going to do something to.)
Not just me, but spirit, shiro and shino could see it. What about Kiana.
As I use <3rd pov> to look at her who was behind me, she has a pale expression and her hand was tight shaking.
Yuuto: (yea, I should do it now.)
But before he could attack derrick, Lilia spoke.
Lilia: "so, do you guys want to go and look around."
Said in a joy voice. But hmm? thanks to her the atmosphere calms down. I look at Kiana, and she also has calm down. Shiro and them are with her holding hands.
Yuuto: "...yes, are you going to show us around Lilia."
Her face blush I held my hand towards her.
Lilia: "u-um, if you don't mind."
Yuuto: "I don't mind, I'm more than happy for you to be with us. Plus we haven't been together much."
Her face blush more red.
Lilia: "t-thanks."
Spirit: (well, that's 5 caught in a basket.)
Yuuto: "wait what??"
Spirit: (don't worry about it. It will happen soon.)
As he was thinking what she meant, shino spoke as to break the atmosphere.
Shino: "what about you, Alice, will you go."
Alice: "I'm sorry everyone, I would love to join you to look around the kingdom. But, as a princess of this country, I must attend with my mother about plans for the future."
She bow her head respectfully. Same goes for the boy.
I read both of their thoughts which I don't usually use, but thanks for the battle, I was able to get the hang of my power when it gets lower.
Anyways, Alice was telling the truth she wants to go with her mother and father to talk about the future.
But D.D, he sure is planning of something.
Lilia: "o-oh."
Alice: "I'm sorry, but I will go with you next time okay."
-*Nods*- Alice said as she hugs her.
She then left and D.D follow her.
Spirit: (so, shall we go.)
Everyone nodded and walk towards the heavy gate where they came from.
As they got their the heavy door open slowly, as we wait. Lilia spoke.
Lilia: "um, where do you guys plan to go."
Shiro: "hmm, we were just playing to look around flying in a instant."
Shino: "but since we're going to be here. Might as well take out time. Plus I want to get to know you."
She was stunned and look at yuuto, but he just shrugged his shoulder.
Now that I think about it. Why are the door so heavy to open, if something happens how will they escape fast.
As he thought about it, the door finally open to a certain degree for them to walk out. So they step ahead and walk through the streets.

Alice pov
Lillywood: "..ce ...lice ... Alice."
Alice: "...? y-yes..?"
Lillywood: "are you okay?"
She looks around. Where she at right now is in a large room. With a big circle table at the middle of the room, and around the table are simad, Elizabeth, arc, amber, lillywood and some other people that will help and takes notes for the plan and for the futures.
There are some knight standing behind them, some at the door and some at the walls as to protect them.
Alice: "yes, I'm okay, I'm just... Thinking to much."
She hold her head as she said that.
Lillywood: "well we are finish so gets some rest. Well, this is the end of the meeting. So, does Anymore has more question, Anyone?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Lillywood: "okay, we will meet next week."
Everyone nodded as everyone left.
When everyone left, Alice was still there sitting for few seconds.
-*Sigh*-She then sigh, she got up and left the room.
Footsteps could be heard as she walks looking around the castle. Large hallway, shiny floor windows, and walls and doors.
You can also see maids, and butler walking past by, going one way to another. As for the knight are some on standby holding spears and some walking holding sword and others weapons.
-"!... Ha~!"- as she kept on walking she saw the three figure that are walking. She exhale as to say "it's annoying."
When they saw her, all 3 stop and spoke.
???: "Hello princess. How you been."
The one who spoke was a boy, with Red hair and eyes, he is the same ages as Alice. He wears a fancy red clothes.
And next to him, at his right was a boy, with yellow hair, eyes and fancy clothes.
The left side of the red boy, is a boy with blue hair, eyes and fancy clothes.
-"I'm Good."-she put a smile on her face. She doesn't likes any of them. The reason why she doesn't like them, is because she has a bad feeling about them.
All three of their eyes are hallow. It like they are puppets, someone controlling them.
She shook her head as she thought about it. (There's no way they are being controlled.) She thought. But even if that's not true. They are still weird, they act like normal since she met them as kids. But act strangely since then at the sametime.
Blue: "I heard we got a hero. Is that true."
Yellow: "was it, like 4 of them. I heard."
They just tilt their heads.
All three of them are the three dukes, 2nd rank under Lilia family rank, the "grand duke" which is the 1st rank.
Alice: "yes, 1 boy and 3 girls. But sadly they are not here. They are with Lilia, showing them around the kingdom. But you will meet them later."
She then walk aways pasting them. She doesn't want to stay there any longer.
At some point when she turns around, the 3 boys wasn't there anymore so she kept on walking. Then at some point she stops.
In front of her was luxury double door. There are 2 maids at both sides. Every hour or so, they switch maids from time to time to rest.
The maids who saw her open the door for her.
When Alice went in she looks back and told the maids to not bother her. She needs time to think. Only call her if something important and when it's time to eat.
Both maids nodded and bow down as they close the doors.
Alice: *sigh* "finally, sometimes alone."
As she walk towards her bed. The bed is king size bed, and the blanket are blue. She then lay on her back on the bed as she stares the ceiling.
Alice: (...I'm sorry Lilla for leaving you.)
She felt bad for leaving Lilia alone. Its not like she doesn't want to go. But have to attend the meeting for the future plans.
Alice: (...I have to attend the meeting.)
But her mother and father told her she doesn't have to. Bus she chose it as the princess of this kingdom.
Alice: (I'm tired. I want to take a bath but I'm to tired.) *Sigh*
Few seconds later she got up and walk towards a certain door.
Her room is a size of the living room. Has lamps, there is the wind air, where you pull to turn it on as it spins to let out air at the ceiling. Anyway, the room is Very large, When you entered the right side is where her bed is at, at the middle. The left side, the other side, has two doors, one is her bathroom, the right side. where she takes a shower and things. And one is her closet, which is the left side. Where she has all of her clothes weapons and things like that. Next to the closet has a large bucket for her dirty clothes, she also has a mirror to look at.
Her bed, to the right side of her bed has mirrors and a table for her to eat. And to the left side of her bed has a large table with lamp to turn on and off. Has multiple of drawers. Which has pencils, paper and many others. The table is clean except that it has a single paper with a pen, pencil and a feather pen, next to each other.
Anyway, the last one is in the front. When you enter and look straight forward. There a large window, you can cover it with blinds. You can change the color of the blinds to make it darker or lighter to the room. There is also a double door to go out. At the outside there's a large balcony to the window size. It has flowers, a couch, chairs and two tables. One circle table for to drink tea, with friends and eat snack, and the other one is a square table where you eat dinner, have a meeting and be with friends as well.
As she walk to the bathroom, you can see that their is a large bathtub like a pool, that many could go in. There are Stars on every side and corner, to sit on it like a chair. The water is full, it's hot and Steam are coming out. The right side there is a closet as well to change clothes faster and just in case if something happens and need to change, and right next to it there's also a large bucket for her dirty clothes. At her left side theres is a large shower.
She then took of her clothes as The steam covers her private parts, she then clean herself before entering, after finishing she walk towards the large bathtub and enters all in, she then came out and sat down on the stairs, the water cover her whole body to her shoulder. As she exhale happy and tiredness.
As she relax for few minutes, she thought of something. thinking of what to do next.
Simad: "why don't we make you 3 get married."
She remembers her father words after yuuto left the cabin to help other. She also knows what he met "make you 3". He was also mentioning lillywood but she wasn't there that time.
Alice: *mutter* "marriage..."
Married him sounds not bad for her, but she doesn't know much about him. It may sounded dumb, but in her point of view. He a stranger with great power.
Even though royalty and all gets married and already has a fiancee without knowing each other at a young age.
Alice: "it might not be bad if I do say so myself."
Now that she thinks about it. It better to marry him than marry some unknown stranger. Even the 4 dukes and other pince are strangers in her eyes.
Always wanting power, fame, glory, pride. Plus they look down on her and her family. Not just them but the whole kingdom, spreading false prophets, information and all.
That's why she always train and studying hards to help. Even with all that, nothing much has progress. But for her she doesn't cares and kept on studying and doing all her best for her kingdom.
That's why all the people, tribes and races who live there adore her, and will die for her.
Back to the story.
The other reason she will marry yuuto, is not because of his looks nor his power. But to experience love.
She never felt in love nor have any love interests feelings towards other boys. Whether they look handsome or not, are rich or poor, famous or not. Because in her eyes, they're all the same.
Alice: "if that doesn't work, then I might continue until something happens. Because Lilia would marry him."
If she did go out with him and doesn't work for her. She will still marry him because of her friends Lilia. If he can make her happy, she will be happy as well. Plus there are those 3 girls who like him as well. Which she notices.
But for some reason, her heart does gets tight when she see lilia and yuuto smiling and talking to each other.
Alice: "is this love or what."
She shook her head when she thought about it. She doesn't know much.
Minutes past by, Alice got out of the bathtub as steam cover's her parts, and walk towards the closet.
When she opens it there was a lot of towels, and a mirror as well. She grab 2 towels, one to clean herself with and one to cover herself.
As she clean herself and put the towel in the bucket, she then cover herself as she hold it.
She then walks out the bathroom and closed the blinds and change its color to black to not let anyone see her.
She then turn on a large lamp for she could see and went towards her closet. She then open it and look at it.
-"....."-Minutes pass by as she stairs at it without moving.
