The kingdom of Hana is a religious city that has prospered thanks to the blessing of the Goddess of space and prosperity.
It is impossible not to know its history, those who have power know that it is power lent by our Goddess to rule these lands that prosper under her care.
Unfortunately, I am not a believer, I cannot believe in a God that I have never seen and who takes away all credit for my achievements.
But if I were to say something like that... It is not pleasant what would await me.
I am the third daughter of the king and the one who will take the throne, I am superior in all aspects over my older sister and brother.
They should be happy that the lands we love so much are in good hands but... I have received reports that this is not the case.
They plan to kill me, they convince everyone that I plan to go to war with the neighboring countries and fear was spread like an endemic.
I cannot control this madness.
I should teach my brothers a lesson by cutting off their heads and taking them as a trophy... But it will not be easy.
I have no power right now.
My followers have been poisoned by fear into believing the rumors that after I rise to power I plan to declare war on neighboring countries.
What nonsense.
We have neither the resources nor the intentions, we have good relations with our neighboring kingdoms, trade and diplomatic negotiations are going well.
We both win in this relationship.
It is clear why they would be against it.
I must first think of a plan of action, I have an acceptable amount of money at the moment, three hundred gold coins in total, they are enough to buy some land far from here.
Running away and waiting for the waters to calm down is not a bad idea, going back and denying everything would be my priority, proving that it is a plot.
But... Running away? How?
It is not like I can walk out of here.
My head would roll on the floor if I did such a stupid thing.
It is enough for one of them to be part of the plot or an accomplice and I am ruined.
Think...
As I sank into my thoughts, a light knock sounds through the door.
—Come in—. I said without thinking.
—With your permission princess—.
Amy... My most faithful knight, seeing him is a boost of confidence for me right now.
It makes me feel like I can conquer the world no matter what problems appear.
She carries her heavy armor with the metal helmet in one of her hands, her brown skin with some scars, her eyes and hair dark as the night makes me remember who I am.
So contrary, I so colorful and she so dark.
Raised since childhood to fight and I to rule.
We have our place as it is.
—The people are at the castle gates armed and upset, they want your exile while your brothers intend to have a meeting with you in the throne room, the royal knights accompany them and the king himself awaits your presence—. She exclaims with a hand on her heart.
I feel a blow in my chest like, it's the feeling of a betrayal I didn't expect.
As intimidating as ever, her body is strong enough to carry that heavy metal piece, despite competing against the best in the kingdom she can be considered the best in magic and sword fighting.
If she wanted to she could force me and take me to my father very easily.
I wouldn't resist if she wanted me to.
—You've stopped trusting my judgment, right? Or maybe they paid you an obscene amount of gold? I wonder how they managed to convince you? — With a hand on her heart.
Impossible... This is the only betrayal I could never face.
I'm not ready.
I would never be.
— You're wrong, I would never betray my beloved princess and of course I trust her judgment much more than her brothers, she is far superior even to her father... There is no amount of gold in the world that can hide that fact — With an honest smile.
A huge relief runs through my body, I can breathe again.
Of course, I shouldn't have hesitated for a second.
Amy despite such talents couldn't be a real knight, why father only admits trustworthy men without taking into account the opposite sex.
Of course I was against it, I wanted the most skilled person at my side, I don't care if it was a woman or a monster, as long as she swears loyalty to me she will be welcome.
Camy G. Melmillon is her real name, but that person is already dead, underground. Who cares? Thanks to that lie, Amy enjoys being by my side, as long as no one knows she is a woman... Reason why she carries that thing and her hair is short, her voice is deeper.
fake voice of course.
This has filled her with a feeling of gratitude and respect, otherwise she should marry some fat landowner to give honor, pride and position to her family.
But now that that doesn't exist, she shouldn't marry and she can be fine here.
I plan to exploit those feelings that you possess so much my dear Amy.
I won't allow you to return the favor, I will continue to increase your feeling of gratitude whenever I can.
And wait... You said beloved princess? You've never called me that... But there were signs of this before.
Is it possible that you have fallen in love with me?
It may be a big mistake for you.
Amy's POV.
My princess keeps calm even when the kingdom is against her, they want to separate her head from her neck and she's so... Calm.
I only feel respect for this woman.
So beautiful, her golden locks, her bright eyes and how her dress decorates that slender body.
Not to mention those breasts.
The shape of her dress and how they squeeze right on the bust makes her breasts bigger, rounder and they are... So soft.
I always think of meaningless things hahaha.
I'm not even a bit like her, my skin color and... My body full of scars.
I would like at least a little more closeness...
—Amy... Amy...—.
—Ah I'm sorry, did she call me my princess?—. I answer embarrassed.
—Let's take the secret route, use a horse and we'll go—.
That's my princess, always so determined.
I answer affirmatively and do my duty.
I forcefully move the concrete gargoyle to show the secret escape route.
I know her well, I trained for this day, I know what I must do.
—Take my hand, I will lead you to the exit—. I answer happily.
She gives me a tender smile that speeds up my heart and takes my hand.
I slowly lead her to where the sunlight reaches, the exit.
Then we take one of the horses, I help her get on and I can feel how she squeezes my abdomen.
It's a pity I'm wearing this armor, I'm missing a golden opportunity.
I can feel how strange this approach is, the way she leans on me.
I am her emotional support right now.
I swear I won't let you down, I know that behind that perfect princess mask there is still that little girl who used to play in the yard, in the flower garden.
I want to protect you.
Damn it.
Shitty king.
Die quickly, the crown belongs to my princess, it's already written in stone.
I start to ride while I sink into my thoughts, the horse is fast and my princess covers her whole body with a cape but I'm sure we would be recognized anyway.
I must move quickly, this way even if they recognize us they won't be able to do anything to us.
I will give them little time to react.
—Amy, aren't you going to ask where we're going?—.
Oh, right.
I just focused on escaping the kingdom to a safe place.
—Sorry, I got carried away. Where should we go princess?—.
—Let's go to "End of the world"—.
—EEEHHH? Really?—.
I can't help but react with a scream.
Besides being something remote, it's the worst place to escape, it's the most dangerous place on the continent.
And there's a reason.
It's full of dungeons.
Monsters that can't survive inside the dungeons come to the surface.
And they kill humans.
Although there are many of those on the continent, it's controllable, in fact, substances, skins, bones are good for different types of uses and they sell well.
But when they're big and have magical abilities these beasts become unstoppable.
That's why there are no cities in that place.
She wants... For us to live in a cave?
Just the two of us?
Mmm...
Yes, I hope to be up to it, I'm excited.
I want to get there.
—The reason is simple, right now we are escaping from the kingdom but we will return when my father dies, remember that he is old and weak, it won't take long for him to die—.
He says that, but his father has a lot of esteem for him, that old man knows who is more convenient and has no qualms about saying "Future queen" to Hal.
Even in front of his children.
It's all his fault, that's clear to me.
—I heard from two adventurers who conquer labyrinths, and a couple, they revealed that due to lack of money they had to get it in a hurry... If that information is true, 300 gold coins could be of great interest to them, once we have support from this group we will return armed, we have to attract them to our side by promising them more money or whatever they want—.
—Is that information reliable?—.
—It is, it was a group of 4, but it seems that they separated, I don't know the reason, but this is perfect, taking advantage of when they are nervous about the team breaking up and offering them great benefits will make them think it is a blessing dressed as misfortune—.
—Mmm? You say that... Are they sad for their friends?—.
—Would you feel okay if I betrayed you?—.
—NO PRINCESS PLEASE NO—.
I would be devastated, I would cry like a baby.
I would prefer death.
Although... She is a princess and I am someone replaceable.
This puts me in a bad mood.
—Relax, I wouldn't betray you, I need you by my side now more than ever—. He declares while groping my buttocks through the flexible parts of my armor.
—I will do what you order me to do—.
Why did she get affectionate? No
She's not like that...
She must feel really bad for her to start groping me.
I'm not complaining, I'd like to do the same to her.
But this far from making me happy... It makes me sad.
And my ass is sweaty, a thousand apologies princess it's just that my armor makes me hot.
—I understand, we'll look for these guys and recruit them by beating them up —.
—No! —. He hits my head. —With the power of money—.
I have no problem fighting against two, but it's true that my specialty is one-on-one combat.
I hope you're not doubting my abilities, I'll show you that I'm reliable in any situation.
—Let's look for Kendall and Shayna, they must be our allies no matter what—.
—Okay princess—.
Adventurers Kendall and Shayna.
The man is a skilled magic swordsman so versatile that he is able to counter any magic style of his adversary, this has helped him defeat the largest and most fearsome monsters.
He has reached rank A and belongs to the Goliath guild, he specializes in hunting Titan monsters and in dark magic, water and wind.
Shayna is an enthusiast of botany and chemistry, she is a skilled water mage, and it is said that she specializes in area damage combat and has frozen an entire city just because of an argument between companions.
The lack of control is a threat to those around him.
But it means that he is sentimental and therefore manipulable.
His missing companions are the caster and archer Ciel and the warrior tank Estrella.
As we ride on horseback we lose speed, the night makes its presence felt with a starry sky, illuminated by a full moon that seems to watch over our path.
—Let's camp in this place— I declare.
—Okay princess, I'm going to light the fire, I need to find something to do it with—.
I sit under the nearest tree while I watch as Amy ties up the horse, but not before petting it for a moment.
She is a hard worker, although I could feel the heat emanating from her, her armor and the sunlight that raised her temperature, I never heard her complain or stop her path.
If I give her orders, she follows them without further ado.
Definitely, the best possible ally, strong and faithful.
...
Once the bonfire is lit, Amy attacks me with a smile expecting something from me.
Does she want a round of stories? We are not adventurers.
You know that right?
But I'm going to give you a gift for being so hard-working.
I lift my skirt pointing at the bonfire and reveal my thighs and underwear that cover the most private area of my body.
—My legs can't go on, the cold night wind was hitting my legs and now they are frozen—. I declare tired.
Amy doesn't say anything, she looks like she's seeing a ghost.
Her mouth is half open and her eyes clearly fixed on my legs, she doesn't even try to keep up appearances.
She is so honest with herself, she lets you see what she really likes.
—Po... Po—.
She lets out some meaningless babbling, it seems like she's in shock.
Her reaction is so honest and tender that I feel like hugging her so much.
I just gave you an award for your work, this doesn't make me feel bad, I hope you don't say things like I should cover my legs because ladies should show grace no matter the place.
I'm a perverted princess.
Or maybe my legs aren't to your liking?
—I could give you a massage... If you want—.
Her words reveal a certain nervousness, maybe it's the fear of being rejected or that I'll attack her for having such an idea.
I'm not going to hurt you.
Is that what you want? To touch my legs?
Let me think about it.
It's true that I feel tired and that my legs hurt.
Aren't you the one who does the most work?
You even make me feel guilty for making you work so much.
—You've done an excellent job today, I think I should be the one to thank you—. While I point to the ground with my index finger.
—Do you want me to kneel, my princess?—.
—No, I want you to lie down and take off that armor, there's no one here who can see you, we're alone—.
—I understand... I will follow that order—.
When did I say it was an order? I'm just trying to show gratitude.
It's something honest, but I'm not going to deny that I want to strengthen this relationship a little.
