Transmigrated Into The Body Of A Warrior Princess
Chapter 9
The regal tap of the crown prince's polished shoes on the tiled palace floor echoed with an understated elegance. Each step was a precise, measured click, resonating with authority through the grand corridors. The sound carried a sense of dignity, a soft but commanding presence that reflected both his noble stature and the centuries-old traditions of the palace. As the prince moved, the rhythmic cadence of his footsteps lingered, a subtle reminder of his royal lineage.
Everyone's attention was on the crown prince.
Who was too busy pondering about something, but looked too regal and elegant to be true.
Maid 1
The crown prince looks so ethereal! *low whisper*
Maid 2
*Whispering* “You're absolutely right! He looks every bit the royal.”
Both girls fangirled over the crown prince.
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
It seems like you've left quite the impression on the ladies, Killian.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Quiet down, Cedric.
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
*chuckles* You've got many opportunities. Why not use them?
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
What do you mean?
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
Well, weren't you unwilling to be engaged with the crown princess?
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Yes, but...
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
But?
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
Did that scheming princess bewitch you too? Just like the emperor?
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
No.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
No lady can ever bewitch me.
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
Oh, really?
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Yes.
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
Killian. Your words don't match your facial expressions...?
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
I—
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
I need to rest.
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
Are you sure you're still not interested in the crown princess?
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
I said I need to rest for a while.
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
...
Count Cedric Aster Leopold
Sure, your highness.
The sarcasm in Cedric's voice was evident.
He left the crown prince, who was still thinking about the young lady's words.
“I want to be a crown princess, who everyone looks up to. Not out of fear or judgement but, because of respect.”
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
She wants to change for my sake?
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Why?
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
The first time we met, she was as clingy as a newborn pup.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Suddenly, she's acting all... distant.
The crown prince remembered her expression as she looked at him for the last time when he was departing to the royal palace.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
She looked so... delicate yet so, confident.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
I wonder what made her so different from earlier.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
💭The crown princess must be planning to break the engagement.
Suddenly, Killian remembered her stern, furious and sinister look that she usually had around others, before he went to war.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
💭I must be daydreaming.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
💭 That boorish, vicious princess is playing games with me. Her clinginess didn't work, so she's now acting distant and feigning ignorance.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Killian. You've grown up.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
...
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
What is it this time... father?
Emperor (Killian's Father)
I need you to meet someone.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Someone very special and important.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Who is it? I told you to not contact me until I've settled the matter of the terrain island.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
... It's for your own sake, Killian.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
No father.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
It's because you don't want me to run away, leaving the weight of the crown behind on your shoulders.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
You never keep your trust in me. I'm your son...
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Forgive me, Killian.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
But it's an important matter, I can't take chances.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
...
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
When did you start caring about me?
Killian was indifferent towards the emperor, perhaps the past mishaps caused his son to resent him so much.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
You need to meet the duke of arundel.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Why?
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Your childhood friend is back.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
What does that mean? Am I supposed to go and play hide and seek with the Arundel's?
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Killian....
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Father, please don't waste any more of my precious energy. I need to go horse riding.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Well, then take Cedric and Diana too.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Diana? She's here too?
Emperor (Killian's Father)
She's here with Arundel's.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
...
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Are you trying to hide something from me, father...?
Emperor (Killian's Father)
No–no.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Why would I hide something?
Emperor (Killian's Father)
I'll call Nina here, to inform the Arundel's of your arrival. We're soon throwing a victory banquet.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Duke Darius and his family came all the way from Asgard to attend this banquet as guests. We're still preparing for it, I'd like it if you showed diana around.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
She's not very familiar with The Ethil Kingdom.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
I'm not going to entertain your guests, father. But since diana is my acquaintance, who I have known since childhood, then I must take responsibility to protect her and show her our kingdom.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
That's like my son, I knew you wouldn't mind it.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
*rolls eye's and ignores*
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Nina.
Nina(New Butler)
Yes, your highness.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Inform Duke Darius about the prince's arrival.
Nina(New Butler)
Yes, your highness. I will.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
And also call diana to meet the crown prince.
Nina(New Butler)
But, your highness, the young lady is causing trouble again. She is in the training ground, fighting with the male knights to prove to them that she's a good sword master.
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Which male knight?
Nina(New Butler)
Count Leopold. The crown prince's friend and the young lady are in a ferocious sword fight.
Nina(New Butler)
None of them are backing down.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
Cedric and Diana are sword fighting? I can't miss this amazing opportunity.
Prince Killian Alaric Thoren
*Immediately goes towards the training ground*
Emperor (Killian's Father)
...
Emperor (Killian's Father)
Go and do what I said. The crown prince will take care of the latter.
Nina(New Butler)
As your highness's command.
Nina went to do her work.

Now I just want to inform you that the previous butler somehow ended up being a spy so they appointed a new one which was a maid's young daughter.
