Transmigrated Into The Body Of A Warrior Princess
Chapter 12
Three years have passed by since the young lady grace went to terrain island to learn martial arts by Rinn.
The lady had made some friends among the knights.
About ten people left the island, the rest were still going to be camping in the terrain island, to keep the flow of resources from the capital ongoing.
Four male knights and four females still remained behind.
One was an exception, the young lady's person assistant and her lady-in-waiting, Miss Janette made a special request to go with the troop of knights.
She specifically wanted to assist her lady.
Since there were, eight knights in total. Only one was a witty leader in them.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Collect those items, they seem extraordinary, maybe we can find out more about the bandits from last time.
Cleon
Boss, there's a specific carving on this knife.
Alann
This bandit couldn't throw it, he was shot to death too early.
Dinah
He must've been in a hurry to run away, he must've not expected the archer to be so fast.
Joel
It seems to be a carving seen only on the weapons of The Asgard knight's.
Janette(FL's lady-in-waiting)
The Asgard knights?
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
My lady, I've heard quite a lot about the Asgard knights from my uncle.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Butler knows about these things too?
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
Yeah, isn't he amazing?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Mysterious, I'd say.
Lynn
*came running* My lady– my lady — *panting heavily*
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Lynn...calm down.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
What are you so worked up about?
Lynn
Fay got stuck in a mud!
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
Pfftt—
Janette(FL's lady-in-waiting)
Haha
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Is it something to be troubled about...?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Fay is an incredible knight, she's athletic enough to get herself out of trouble.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Why are you so worried?
Lynn
My lady, she has been shot with an arrow. She's unconscious.
Lynn
I can't get her here all by myself.
Lynn
She's— she's got quite the weight of a knight.
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
You mean she's too heavy for you to carry?
Cleon
I never knew that working together with the female knights would be so humorous.
Dinah
Boss, I'm good at weightlifting and combat fighting. Shall I go and see what is up there?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
No, Dinah. Lynn and Cleon both will go with you.
If one of our incredible knights got hurt then it means there's no one safe here.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Joel & Keturah will keep on collecting the items from the defeated bandit's bodies.
While I, asaph and Alan, will go to the baekdu mountain for further investigation.
Everyone yelled in unison: YES BOSS.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
But before that let's go and see what happened to Fay.
Everyone: YOUR VOICE IS OUR COMMAND BOSS!!!
After a while everyone left towards the direction of the blue light forest.
Fay
Help! Lynn...come back you petty woman!
Fay
How dare you leave me alone!!!
Lynn
She must've woken up.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Fay..! Are you alright?
They finally reached near the place where Fay was stuck.
Fay
Boss. Don't ask anything. Please help me!
After saying that fay started tearing up.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
...
As she got out of the turmoil, fay immediately hugged Grace's legs, who was on a horse.
Fay
Boss... Wahh! I was so scared! I'm sorry I messed up!
Fay started crying like a banshee.
Grace looked at her pitifully and got off the horse.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
She has been hit by an arrow. But there's no such thing seen near.
Fay
Boss, boss. I removed the arrow as soon as I was hit. I knew I wouldn't get help so early. So, you can say I saved my hand from being cut off.
Janette(FL's lady-in-waiting)
*shivering*
Dinah
Boss, i think this is the work of the Asgard knights.
Joel
Who would dare go against a royal knight other than those Asgardians.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Hmm. That is not good. Our relation with Asgard needs to be good.
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
???
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
What are you saying little lady?
Alann
My lady, i think we should take the arrow with us.
Asaph
Yes, it might help us in further investigation, and we'll know who was behind all this, My lady.
Joel
Boss, I think we should go and hunt those petty misers! How dare they go against our boss and hurt one of our knights...!!!
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Joel. Are you planning to set up a trap against me?
*calm and collected voice*
Joel
What? I dare not go against you, boss.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
As you wish.
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
Little lady, Joel maybe a scum, but he's not that stingy that he'll betray his own troop.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Hmm. You're right.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Cleon and Janette, continue the investigation in this area.
Janette(FL's lady-in-waiting)
My lady —
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
I know you came here to serve me, Jane.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
But I already warned you about lurking dangers around here.
Janette(FL's lady-in-waiting)
*gives in* But I want a female knight to also be here.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
I understand, fay will stay here with you and cleon.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Rinn and Lynn will go and collect the loot from the defeated bandits and if you find anything suspicious, report me in an instant.
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
Yes little lady.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Joel and Dinah will help the native islander's to collect materials for trade and help them with their injuries.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Asaph and Alan, you'll come with me.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
We'll be in the area near the baekdu mountain.
If anything happens or anyone is in trouble—
Everyone: –we must report to you immediately.
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
We already know that little lady.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Let's all collect some wood and fruits, in case of emergency, we might need to camp again.
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
Little Lady, why don't you give us a group name?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
You mean —
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
A group number... like group A with me and Lynn.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Good idea. I'll do that.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Group A: Rinn and Lynn
Group B: Joel and Dinah
Group C: Fay, Janette and Cleon
Group D: Me, Asaph and Alan.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
I made the group name based on the distance, Farthest the group, the earliest letter it's name has.
Cleon
And the nearest group...?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Has the farthest name.
Keturah Anniston (Rinn)
Won't it be confusing, little lady?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
If you use even one percent of your brain, then it won't be hard to guess.
Fay
Boss is so good at leading us!
Joel
Yes, boss. You should be a captain in the Royal Army.
Cleon
They're right, boss.
Cleon
You are really too skilled in everything.
Dinah
Boss is really smart.
Lynn
Yes, yes, our boss is really so smart and cool.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
🤨 Alaaannn? Did you just say that they're fools for calling me smart...?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Call me, boss, Alann.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
*stern expression*
Everyone shuddered in fear.
Alann
*gulp* My lad— boss. Forgive me for my mishaps. I caused trouble for you.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Hmm, it's alright.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Let's scatter.
Asaph
My lady, shall we rest under the shed of that tree?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
There's a pine tree?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭And it's still intact. Even after going through such a brutal war.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭 Those bandits must be taking rest here, that's why this place is still intact.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Hmm? Why are you being so loud alann.
Asaph
Boss, we thought you fainted.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
With my eyes open...?
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
You guys really need to take a physiology class, I'll make sure all of you attend it.
Both knights subconsciously glanced at one another.
The lady had been pressing them to take one lecture on physiology or anatomy.
But they kept on insisting that she'll just end up wasting her energy.
Asaph
💭 When did the lady learn about human physiology? She'd never attended a single lecture on it, the scholars who used to come to teach her, were chased out for ‘hurting’ the precious lady.
Alann
💭 Poor guy, ended up in the trap of this vicious lady.
Both knights were recalling the past, but the lady seemed rather...more carefree than usual.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭 I didn't know that coming to this island would be so refreshing for me.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭 I used be in several hunting competitions in the past. And I always won first place, even though I never wanted to go in the line of medicine. I still cared about my grades.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭 But i was too unfortunate to get any, father, however doted one, he didn't mind it as much, he thought that I was ‘too precious’ to be worthy of such things.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭He used to say that— Elle, only poor and unworthy people care about working and getting money. You don't have to, because you have me, your father.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭 But that drunkard ended up using all money for his drinks. And made us worse than our neighbor, my best friend Alisa.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭 Thank God...i didn't care about that drunkard's words, or else I'd ended up like him. If I hadn't taken Alisa's help in my studies. I would have been starving.
And also I'd like to thank the professor for showing us her library, resulting in my transmigration.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭 Ugh! I hate that drunkard! Even thinking about him is giving me a headache!
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭 I know important physiology facts, that's it, i learned it at the last moment for my SAT's in my previous life. I wonder who Alisa transmigrated into, I'd like to know her score as well.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
💭 She was my ultimate other half, my soulmate. Always cheering when I went into shooting/sword fighting competition's. Or whenever I showcased any of my talent— she'd be the first one to cheer for me.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
Ugh!
While Esmeralda or to say Ella was reminiscing about the moments of her past life, her knights were keeping their attention on their surroundings.
Suddenly both the knights heard a growling sound.
Terrified, Alann took out his sword immediately.
Seeing Alann tensing up, and being alarmed— Asaph did the same.
Both knights gripped their swords tightly, waiting for any lurking dangers, ready to strike back.
Alann
I assume it's a wild beast.
Asaph
Wild beasts don't come near the baekdu mountain.
Asaph
It seems to be a troop of remaining bandits...
Alann
... should we wake the lady?
Asaph
We're sent here to protect her, all she can do is order us around.
Both knights were now determined to protect their lady.
Not out of respect, but because they wanted to leave a good impression on the archduke to get a promotion.
After all, what else does a knight need in life? It's to keep getting promoted, and one day become a part of the Royal Army.
The archduke would definitely press the emperor in taking them in as royal guards.
They both just had to curry the favor of the crown princess, the young lady.
They were newly elected knights. What could they do against a TROOP of bandits. They HAD to somehow become stronger. By hook or crook.
Alarmed, both of the knights looked for the source of the growl.
It was from the bushes BEHIND them!
Asaph
The lady is in danger...!
They saw the lady sleeping soundly.
She somehow looked adorable, like a child.
Before they could react, a small orange bird-like creature came out of the bushes where Esmeralda was asleep.
The creature almost leaped out!
As soon as the creature saw the knights, it began to make unusual sounds.
That made the lady get out of her deep slumber.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
What—WHOAHHH!!!
She yelled, frightened, the creature also made sounds.
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
...
Esmeralda Seraphina Grace
It's a bird—?
Alann
Don't touch it, my lady—
