Now let's look for them.

To be honest, should I just call them unknown? Or cult?

Yeah, let's just call them unknown.

As for the year.

Since years happen to always change.

Like dinosaurs era, ancient era, and many different era.

Let's just say what happens before to now is

Even this whole year, so the next year when I go to the academy is

UNKNOWN POV

Unknown: *shouts* "how did we fail!!"

He shoats, to his and other surprise, the monster that they sent in different directions were all destroyed.

Unknown: "is it that hero. No, there's no way a kid could kill that many?"

He was shock and was running away of what he seen, no human being could defeat an whole army of monster with higher ranks that even SS adventure partly can't win.

A kid can't even beat an orc, Mostly the orc king.

It's crazy, unbelievable to even believe, out of nowhere ice and fire came down and destroy it in an instant.

I need to run, run far away as I could.

Try to warn other about the danger...

As he runs underground and try to call his comrade.

Everyone: "how did this happen?!" "We need to leave." "This is crazy!?" "Am I dreaming?"

Damnit, did their plan also fail?! Damn it!!

Unknown 1: "e-either way, we still have the strongest ones. So we need to send them."

Unknown 2: "yeah, we must attack the castle. It almost about to start either way. Forgot about the village and town. Use everything on the castle."

As they were talking what happen and what they seen.

-*Boom!!*-suddenly a explosive was heard.

Looking towards it, a small figure walk in.

Then came out of the black smoke.

A child?

black hair fading into white, the same applies to his eyes.

What's a child doing overhere?

Child: "welcome, villains. Your time is up."

He made a pose.

What the hell is this?

-"k-kill him!!"-someone shouts and attack.

The boy didn't seems scare, instead smile happily.

As the knife was about to stab him, he black it with his left arm.

Making a mental screech.

As he block the first one, another one try to stab him from behind.

But the boy dodge it and shot a blast.

Hit the on guy face and knock him out.

Other 2 were stutter by it.

But the boy didn't care and jump at them and use lighting magic to electric them.

As they were stunned he knock them out with his feet kicking both.

Boy then turn to them, looking at them straight up and took out sword out of thin air and started to do something.

-"?!!!"-feeling something dangerous, everyone try to escape.

But they were slow, a light was made, covering the sword.

The boy swung it, sending a flash of light slash towards them, hitting them behind their back, sending them flying crashing into rock.

ALICE POV

Sigh, I don't want to go.

Feeling tired and depressed, Alice sigh-"what's wrong Alice."-someone spoke to her.

When she looks back, it was lillywood, with Lilia next to her.

Both of them are very well dressed, like a real princess, their hair are very smooth and curly.

The color of "Victorian Gown French Lolita Dress" base on their hair color.

While I wear color purple.

As she looks at her self at the mirror, Lilia came in and talk to her.

Lilia: "are you okay?"

Ask worry.

Alice: "yes, I am. I just feel tired."

Both Lilia and lillywood smile.

Lillywood: "don't worry. Just hold on a bit more. After today we won't do much anymore rather than adventure."

That's true, well.

It just the academy, I want to experience my time her a bit more and act as a normal person.

...Wait, why did I say that? Did I loose my mind?

Lilia: "t-to be honest. I can't wait. I want to see many different things."

Lillywood: "I know right. I should marry yuuto for he could teach me many things."

Lilia: "m-marry?!! T-teach many things??!"

Oh no, she so pure.

Alice: *giggle* "hm, well. Let's talk about this after the party with the others. Okay."

Lillywood: "wow, even with yuuto."

Alice: "no."

I smile while saying that-"I'm sorry."-she quickly look away.

Lilia: *clean throat* "anyways, are you ready. We should be leaving by now."

I nodded, so we all look at the mirror one last time, checking if its looks good and nothing errors.

The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Once checking, they walk to the double-door, open it and walked out..

They then walk with maid and knight behind them.

They talk, about who's here and who's not here.

Telling about the schedule, what to do and not do.

After hearing it, she made a tire expression.

They ask if she's okay just in case, mostly because they are truly worry about her.

-"it's find."-said Alice, it was fine she said and kept on walking as they got In front of the door party.

Suddenly, a thought came in mind, about something.

Alice: (why? Why did I thought of him?)

Suddenly, she thought of him but shook her head and took a big sigh.

Then nodded at the knight and they open the door.

Simad: "my daughter, the 7th princess. Alice via mia. Coming next is the great duke, Lilia duch mark. And lillywood."

Why, is my father speaking rather then the speaker himself?

Please don't do anything.

As the king say her name while walking on the stages.

The audience room is enormous, the same size as a football field.

Everyone look at them with excited, Alice felt annoying, not because they look up too her or anything else.

She feels jealousy from other nobles girls, feel lust, creepy from nobles man.

Thanks to the training I have done, I could feel their feelings, even if it's deep down, hiding it or not showing it.

I could feel it.

Well, let just get this over with and move on.

She then bow and walk towards the king sitting next him.

As she stands next him she looks around and saw no one, only Kiana was there.

Alice: (So they're not here? Sigh, I would feel easier if they were here.)

Not shiro, not shino, not Sophia and not yuuto.

She felt sad that other and yuuto didn't go.

They didn't show their face much in the public.

Music started to play, Then greeted started with everyone from higher to lowest rank.

Introducing each other.

She didn't pay much attention about them, it's all the same Everytime.

Telling me about their ranks, introducing their child's, purposing marriage or inviting to a tea party, for friendships.

No matter how many times it past, she only thought about shiro and them.

For some reason.

Why, for some reason yuuto started to pop out in her mind, she doesn't know why, but she thought it was because of her party since to day will be the day her announcement of her engagement will be.

Alice: (I wonder ho-she look beautiful. Should I call her?)

Shook my head and looked towards her.

Looking at Kiana, she is very dressed beautiful.

And men like always surround her.

She should be feeling their feelings as well.

Noble: "so, what do you think."

Arc: "I'm sorry but I already got someone for her. Same as lillywood."

Nobles: "is it going to be one of the dukes?" "Could be one of them." "What about Alice?"

Sigh, not this again.

Simad: "it's not one of them. It's someone's else."

I knew it, father, I'm not that dumb, you can't deceive me.

Why try to lie when we talk about this, even going so far to tell me to go with him.

You think I would be, don't know who, but it should be one of the 4 great dukes mostly the boy with no feeling in his eyes.

Why did I talk like yuuto?

No, it because of shiro, bronya and shino.

Either way, I don't like any of them.

-"hello there sister."-As she thinking about it, she was call.

Alice: (now who?) "...eh? Brother? Sister?"

When she looks up, It was her sister and brother.

They have purple, white, blue and gold; they have different hair color from their mother's.

Not just them, but Lilia siblings as well.

They are from the same father, but different mother's.

Siblings: "so, who's your fiances?" "I bet he's cute." "I don't think she could get one." "Well, knowing her attitude towards them. Your Right." "I heard it was a hero." "Guys, stop bullying her." "I heard Lilia like him." "Hoh? Is they that right?" "Congratulations Lilia and lillywood." "Wait, does the three of them would be with the same man?"

Ah crap, not again.

Alice: "um, n-"

Siblings: "-he's better be nice." "If not we kill him." "I don't think that's how it works? He is a hero after all?" "I do not care." "But lillywood and Alice would also be marry into him." "And knowing how Alice is, she wouldn't even marry him."

They were talking about her engagement and who might be it.

But she try to deny all of them but they wouldn't listen so she just sit there until they calm down.

Even lillywood and Lilia try but gave up.

Sigh, Everytime.

They act like this, they are overprotective siblings.

What do they call them?

Idiot?

I'm happy, The good thing about them is that they are not like those noblis.

Or fictional that shiro and them show me.

???: "those idiots. I heard the siblings were crazy and overprotective. Now that I'm seeing it in person. They are crazy and overprotective."

Lilia & Alice: "eh, who?"

Looking to her right while Lilia look at her left.

There stood a girl the same age as them.

???: "oh, hello. I'm featherine. Nice to meet you. Um your highness. Or should I call you guys by your name?"

Eh, who's this? Wait her hair?

Lillywood: "eh? Featherine? The rumor saint??"

Wait, the rumor Saint?

Looking at her again, she looks exactly like the rumor say, not just the rumor but by her father.

Wearing a Blindfold, mystery characteristics and aura around her, shiny and soft skins; beautiful shiny hair.

As for her clothes, she wears the same clothes as them rather then nun.

The color of her dress is silver.

She looks exactly like a real angel , might as give her the nickname "goddess."

Featherine: "hey, about that rumor boy. His name is yuuto right. If it's okay with you three. Could I marry him as well?"

What? What the heck is she talking about?

Lilia: "m-marrying?"

Lillywood: "oh my, that's 8th wife now."

Featherine: "eh? 8th?"

She tilts her head?

But seriously? Marrying him?

I don't mind?

It actually helps me to get away from him.

Lillywood: "well, yeah, there 2 who loves him the most-"

Ah, she's talking about the other girls.

I know that shiro, shino love him, plus Lilla that's 3; while kiana still figuring out her feelings as for bronya... I still don't understand her if she jokingly or seriously.

So that's 5 plus me and lillywood would be 7.

Now, as for Sophia, she doesn't know much about love but I feel like she would be a part of it which is 8.

Now, with the saint it's 9.

So 9 marrying into the same men.

Featherine: "interesting. I heard that he defeated some knights. He also has this personality."

Lilia: "ah, that rumor is true."

She looks at me.

So I nodded, saying it's fine to talk about it, so she gave me a nod and didn't say anything.

The rumor is true, the knight is me.

I'm not really official as a real knight.

Lillywood: "and so, what his personality he gave you?"

Featherine: "oh, I was excited to talk to him so I sneak out to look for him and found him at the garden."

My garden? Wonder what he was doing?

Wait? Why do I care?

Featherine: "But he noticed me, so I didn't have any choice to come out and talk to him. But to my surprise he Saying this to me. "you're annoying with that personality." And something else, Which made me sad."

Oh, that personality.

I understand why, I also did read book with character acting cocky, mystery and annoying.

Well, He hate my as well and I understand why.

I feel embarrassed to not even think how I acted.

Acting the same like those nobles and royalty.

Even normal and different race act like me.

Featherine: "honestly, I fell in love when I first saw him. So, could I meat him."

Another girl fell for him.

I get that's he cute but his personality doesn't fit, well it different from others and even in the books I read.

He sure like to do whatever he wants.

Kinda cute if I have to say.

Not!! Why did I say that??

He's ugly.

Featherine: "so, could I marry him we could be friends."

Why me? Why is she asking me if it's okay?

I don't care.

Lilia: "I don't care. As long as he loves me equally that's okay."

Featherine: "oh? This is my First time hearing something nice about him."

Lillywood: "I also don't care. But you have to know him first."

Featherine: "do I? Why?"

Lillywood: "he doesn't date the one he doesn't know. And if you want to marry him for something else. He would ignore you even hate you."

Featherine: "E-eeh? Did I made him hate me?"

She's a wired one?

Also, why haven't she ask me?

What about my opinion?

???: "excuse me."

She thought for a moment and before answering someone interrupted.

Alice: (Geh! Not him.) *deep breath* "what do you want?"

As they look.

It was the boy with no life inside.

His eyes are deep dead.

A void, a creepily doll.

Not just him, but most of them don't feel the same like the other day.

Not just Alice, the same applies to the other girls even featherine, they don't feel anything from him or the other boys.

They are just, smiling like normal, a puppet.

It troublesome, it feels dangerous, I want to do something about this but my body and instincts are telling me to not engage.

Don't risk it.

For now, let just ask what he wants.

Alice: "hello. What do you want?"

Boy: "oh my, it's nothing much. Just wanted to say hello... Plus, there a saint here."

Alice: "is that all? Then you should leave."

He smile.

This damn Derrick duke is so creepy.

Derrick: "I wonder. How did you get that strong?"

Alice: "?? What do you mean?"

Derrick: "oh stop acting stupid. That level isn't a normal human woul get. Not even a hero. How come you got a level that could match a universe?"

-"???"-everyone seem surprised, featherine doesn't know what they are talking about but she could tell something isn't right.

Shit, he's not playing around, he shouldn't notice it.

Derrick: "well it doesn't matter."

He turns around and walked away with his group.

Lillywood: *stutter* "h-how did he knows??"

Her voice stutter.

Looking at them, they in fear, their expression shows that they are in danger.

How could he possibly know this?

There's no way a normal human could sense this.

Bronya and them told us that no one can't feel higher dimensional level.

But if your special or have a better sense and mostly open minded, it could possibly feel it.

If the entities or something shows themselves if they wanted to or something else.

But to those who doesn't they could hide it which we are doing it.

Alice: (either way, I need to tell them.... No, Kiana is looking at them with seriously hatred. Why?)

When I try to ask help, I saw Kiana who giving out an enormous-ominous killing intents.

No one noticed, even by a feet apart, but they could see it once they meet her eyes.

Her eyes are direct to the dukes.

Alice: (I should go help.)

Announcements: "Hello everyone. Can I get your attentions."

Alice: (damnit! Is it time?!)

Before I could do something and help, the announcer spoke out.

Getting everyone attention.

This is where my father speak about my marriage.

My father stood up as he grap a glass that has beer in it.

Simad: "I would like to once again say thank you for coming today, for my daughter 13th birthday."

Everyone gather up as he speaks about me, then Lilia and lillywood while he's holding a glass of wine while the people inside also hold a glass of wine or whatever it has, while the children also stood up some are tired.

Simad: "now, Alice, Lilia and lillywood. Would you come over here."

Hearing him, all three of us got up and walked to the front stage.

Everyone applause.

Simad: "I am grateful to the gods and goddess. To have a great daughter. She has been a great help to our kingdom as you know."

He continues speaking-Wait, why is the saint here?

She's all smiling?

-*applause*-it seems it has finished.

Simad: "now..."

He look around.

This is the part where my marriage would be announced.

Simad: "as you heard. We weren't chosen by the hero's."

Everyone looks depressed and angry.

Well, the only reason why they look that way it's because of their pride, not some of them who actually cares about their home.

Doing their best to help others.

While others doesn't let other look down, even if it's their own fellow.

Simad: "but do not worry. We have found not 1 but 3 heros."

Everyone gasp surprisingly.

Well this is their first time hearing it, some might have heard seeing how they just exposed themselves when they went out to explore.

Some wouldn't believe it and some thought it was a lie.

But now that the king say it, everyone who hear it now believe it.

Simad: "and one of them is Alice Fiancee. Not just her but as well as Lilia, lillywood and the saint, featherine. Who would be marrying."

Alice: (Eh? I never heard of that?)

Looking at her, she smiling happily and excited.

Featherine: *mutter* "yay~ I get to be with him w-where is he? I don't see him?"

She looks around with sparkly eyes, trying to find yuuto.

Hey, react normal?!

Simad: "now, I would-"

Derrick: "excuse me if I don't mind."

Oh boy, I knew this would happen.

Before finishing, Derrick the lifeless boy interrupted father speech.

Audience: "what going?" "Is he stupid." "Why could he interrupt the king speech."

Every was shock and surprised, Derrick continue walking towards us ignoring the words towards him.

Now that I think about it, Where is his father? ...Oh, he's knock out?

His father trys to stop him but suddenly he collapsed.

Seeing that, everyone step away from him while the guard stood right in front of him.

Guards: "stop! Don't not come any closer."

He continues walking with his empty eyes.

Derrick: "now, now, I won't hurt anyone nor kill them. But, I would take Alice with me."

He spoke to the king to marry her with empty eyes.

My body shivers when he said that.

And, why is Kiana taking long? ...no, I don't see her anywhere?

This should be easy to win why isn't she attacking?

Suddenly, a thought came out.

I forgot, his actions before.

He's not normal.

Simad: *sigh* "why do you want my daughter."

Derrick: "oh, I just want her. Might as well get the rest of this world. Even this whole universe."

-"???"-hearing that, everyone prepared themselves quietly.

Not showing it for they know they can't defeat him.

Simad: "so you telling me you see her as object?! Guards capture him."

Alice: "No, you idiot man."

Guard: "come wi-"

*scream*-What?

The audience scream and ran away we the guards fell.

Derrick: *evil laugh* "well then, let get them out of the way."

The body's disappear.

He then snap his fingers.

Lillywood: "b-a barrier??"

Lilia: "how did he do it-geh?"

Alice: "e-everyone!!"

A barrier was shown, being surprised, other 3 figures show up, it was the 3 boys who was with him pulls out a sword and threatened everyone, on their necks to not move.

Shit, I can't do anything.

Derrick: "now, now. You can sit down with me."

Turn around, he sit where my father sat before.

Look around, no one is here rather herself, Lilia, and lillywood.

Alice: (The good thing is that my mother is in her room with Lilia mother.)

Derrick: "oh, I forgot? your mother is very beautiful."

Elizabeth: "Alice?!"

Alice & Lilia: "mother?!"

Above him, there was Alice and Lilia mother's, in a large cage wearing a wedding dress with chains on her neck.

Alice took a stance.

Derrick: "now, now. If you do something stupid. I'll kill them. Or do something else in front of you. And you know I would. Now, be a good girl and sit."

She couldn't go against him, so she follow his instructions and sat down.

Derrick: "you sure look beautiful with that expression."

Alice: "be quiet. Just who are you? You not the boy I know."

I would like to say there's no way he gets this type of power but thanks to the teaching from them.

I could get a gasp of how he got this power.

Derrick: "oh Alice. I'm the same as always. It just that. I got it from someone."

Alice: "why? For what cause."

Is it jealously?
