I This chapter is not focus on action well at least not yet, and will just merely go for the reasoning of each character motivation for doing things they did.
----------------------------------------
Now, why does a general of the Torian military pays me a visit? I contemplated to myself as I stared at the old man wearing the blue 3 Star General uniform that is usually only reserved for high ranking members.
I sighed to myself, as I looked at the officer with his body position in a bowing stance as he looked at me. Even if I am from the enemy nation, I am still royalty, so he shows his respect by bowing towards me.
I just look at him with a calm and bored facial expression that I usually wear every time I'm in public, even when I was still back at the Temerian royal palace I did this. It did that to the point that it pissed off some of the nobles from a variety of different places.
With me always making this kind of facial expression I was nicknamed the ‘Cold Hearted’ Prince. I think there was also another time when they tried to make ‘Idiotic Prince’ trend as well, but I practically aced the tests given to me by the teachers at this academy, and they tried to bump up the difficulty at each test…
They have to grade with full honesty or else they would face serious charges from false accusations and be sentenced to 5 years in prison. They are very serious about education especially at this academy, since, this is one of the most prominent academy in the world.
"Raise your head."
I said and he looked at me, this old man had that cliché aura of a person that has gone through multiple battles. Everything about him screams out that he is wise and cunning like a fox, I stared at him as he prepares to talk.
"Suno Temeria, Prince of the Temerian Empire, you have been called upon by our master to have you visit him."
What!? Who could have a general and 4 Torian Elite Knight Legions as subordinates? Very well, I shall accept this mysterious invitation if I have a choice anyway. I contemplated to myself before I walked out of the room and followed the Knights from behind.
"Master, I shall follow you."
A quiet voice comes from behind me and what seemed like the perfect beauty with ocean blue hair and azure eyes look at me. It was none other than Sora who was dressed in the maid costume that I told her to wear.
For a second, I broke my facade as my mouth was opened as I stared at her with my eyes glued on to her. I slapped my face to get myself under control and breathe in and out.
"Is she your personal servant?"
The 3 Star General said to me suspiciously as he glared at the beautiful maid which of course is Sora. I think he is quite surprised by the appearance of Sora because he didn't sensed her and also maybe because she is leaking a powerful aura of some sort.
I looked at him and nodded my head as my facial expression had gone back to the bored expression that I show to people. It became something like a protective measure against anyone who wants to analyze who I'm really like and use it against me.
I walked next to Sora as we are behind the Knights and the general who were walking down the narrow corridors with white pillars. Each of them probably reinforced with magic and made out of concrete (I'm guessing because of the texture it's giving out).
I started to get bored going down the corridor and decided to talk to Sora about anything that could help get my rid of my boredom. So, I whispered to her in a low voice that is not audible to anyone but the 2 of us.
"So, Sora why did you suddenly rebelled and take over the Toria Kingdom by the way."
Sora's hands were on the apron of her dress as that's how maids are usually taught to do when serving big nobles. Since, I'm royalty Sora has to do her utmost best to act like a professional maid that is capable of serving me.
"Oh that, I just saw an opportunity and took the chance to take over the Kingdom and everything in it."
My eyes laid upon Sora as I was confused by what she said with her tranquil aura that suddenly surrounded her.
"No, I mean what was your goal for ruling over the Kingdom of Toria."
I said straight out, as I wanted to satisfy my curiosity that has been exploding ever since her arrival.
"I might as well tell you, since it's not like this information will be useful anymore."
Sora said with a sigh, and moved her hands behind her back as she walks towards me.
"This is going to be a long story, but it's worth telling to someone like you, who basically has no friends and probably will be considered crazy if you were to tell other people."
"Hey! It's not my fault that the situation doesn't allow me to do so."
I said frustrated by her cool silent laugh that was obviously directed towards me.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
"Well, that doesn't mean you couldn't have made friends back at Temerian Empire."
I stayed silent, as she was right about making friends. Even back in my home I was not able to do so because of my obsession over reading every single book in the Royal library.
I had tested out each and every spell in the books on to random objects and discovered I could create complicated magic circle to make it follow my orders. After that, I stole materials and created golems that followed my every order that I make for them.
That was when I met a Techno Mage and learned everything from him personally and created these things in secret. His name was Markick Lisver, he was a book keeper that was in the royal capital who had given me books when I first went out in town.
The Techno Mage died after he was discovered by the inquisition and captured by them. I found out after escaping from my escort, I followed them as they kidnapped Markick and tortured him until his mind was broken.
I should really stop this gloomy thought and just listen to what she has to say already.
"But first tell me your intentions of doing so much just to get a friend."
She asked me, probably curious on why am I doing so much just for a single friend.
"My reasoning for doing it is probably really cheesy, but I just wanted someone that can supports me, talk to, trust, and smile. I had seen friends as unnecessary for a long time, since I have been independent about everything I do."
I took a big breath before I began to finish the rest of my long reasoning:
"That was when I started reading books about the countries in the area. Specifically the Kingdom of Toria and how they got to this point in time. Reading about the part when you took over the country before disappearing and Queen Rose later took over the count-."
She suddenly stops me in the middle of my sentence.
"As expected."
"Well, at least let me continue before you interrupt me suddenly."
I made a bubble up face as Sora giggles at me for doing it, and I can conclude she already figured out when she was in is the future. Maybe she looked at a calendar or something because Sora already accepted that everything I'm saying so easily.
"Okay where was I? Oh yea, when the Queen Rose took over the country, I didn't know how could a person just continue something that someone left behind by another so easily. Until I took into account this weird thing called friends. So, I spied on a group of people and see what they do; from my observation they laugh at each other jokes and do other stuff as they help each other. And so I have been wondering what it would be to have someone like that. Well, it wasn't the best idea to use a randomized spell that could summoned just about anyone."
As I said and looked at the blue hair girl who looked like she was going to blush.
"This sounds like a marriage proposal."
What!?! It does maybe if I brought out a ring and got on to my knees than it would look like one.
"Anyway, now can you tell me why you wanted to be a Queen?"
I said while my face was bright red and my hand right behind my head.
"Alright, let me begin."
Sora took a breather before beginning the story she was about to tell.
"Well, it all started when I was younger and as you already expected I was smarter than your average kid. I looked at human logic as something weird or strange in a way that they want people to govern them. So, for me I did multiple tests that allowed me to see what they would do in those situation and in those cases I had to corrupt official in a nation to see how they would react."
"I wanted to see how it was like to take over a country and the Toria Kingdom was my first choice, since everything was already provided for me to take it over with ease. Meaning I just had to get the people support and the best was to defeat the Merick Demon Army and act like the Torian Government was a villain and needed to be defeated, but I will tell you they were planning to kill me when we would finish the war so I just acted first using my fame."
Sora said with her eyes closed as focused on some memories…, at that instant I heard the general talk to us.
"We are here."
The cunning old man said to get our attention, as we entered this beautiful white colored door I saw a red headed girl looked at me in her vermillion colored dress. Her red eyes laid on me and smiled brightly towards me.
"Hi! Suno!"
The girl said to me with the brightest smile I have ever seen on a girl before. I knew this girl, it was Maria Lona the princess of the Toria Kingdom.
