Princess In Another World's
Unexpected
A bright morning.
Here I only prepared 2 tasks for those 4, yes. They're the 4. Using more troops than that would be risky in the plan this time, and after all they had trained themselves before. Therefore only those 4 do this task.
“Grild, Famus, time to split up!"
“Good!” They split. Right now we are riding a combat horse, and this horse is usually used by cavalry troops to break through enemy defenses forcefully. Of course, the speed and stamina of this horse is quite large compared to other horses.
“Eh. Commander, why are you coming too? You said if it was more than us then there would be a problem.” (Dirk)
Right now I'm riding a horse with Dirk. “Huh? What do you think, I am your commander. And again, I want to see firsthand the troops who dare to attack our kingdom.”
“But, instead of this is too risky for you.”
“Let's just relax, I've prepared a plan in case something unexpected happens.”
“B-so.”
“Already, you two should also focus.”
“I hope they both succeed.” (Laren)
“Just relax, this plan will definitely work. I'm sure it's.”
A while after that
Such a huge roar began to sound. “It looks like they made it, all right. We start the next plan.”
“Good.”
“Laren, get ready for your position.”
“Good.” Laren parted with us.
“Dirk, immediately go to the enemy troop.”
“Good.” We went straight to the direction where the enemy troops were.
Right now, Famus and Grild were herding the dragon towards the enemy troops. “Commander, I'm worried about both of them.”
“Calm down, there's nothing on my side that you're worried about. They must be fine.” They've prepared themselves for this and I'm sure they're fine. Because they are the squad leaders I trained directly using new methods.
A while after that.
“Wah. It turned out that more than what was reported.” 25 thousand troops were rumored to be attacking my kingdom, but when I saw it myself it turned out that there was more to it. “Hmm. At least this is about 40-60 thousand.”
“A-What!!”
“Calm Dirk. We won't fight them, at least not us.”
“A-What is it!!” (??)
From a distance, the enemy soldiers started to be able to see dragons flying towards them. And instantly their formation became chaotic. “Let's see, what they can handle.” I watched what they would do to defeat the dragon.
A few moments later
Just when the dragon was already close to the enemy soldiers. “A-What is it!!” I was surprised by what I saw.
A small ball suddenly surrounded the dragon, and it stopped the dragon's movement.
Sfx: Explosion.
‘Woy woy. that's right!’ The small ball exploded and it made the dragon fall straight away.
“Commander.”
“Cih. We soon gather at the meeting place.”
“Good.”
A while after that.
The others had already gathered at the planned place. “Commander, do you have any plans on this?” (Grild)
“Commander?” (Dirk)
“Commander, what's the problem.” (Laren)
I didn't prepare any plans at all if it happened like that, it was far beyond what I was thinking. And more importantly, what exactly are those balls. “Dirk, do you know the little balls that are near the dragon?”
“Possibly it is magic.”
“Eh?”
“In the army it must have some magicians with intermediate or high level magic. If not so, defeating the dragon easily like that it feels very impossible.”
‘Woy woy, that's right. The magic? Something beyond logic.’ If it is true like that, want as hard as I think everything will be broken if it is like this. And again, I had absolutely no idea that there was magic in this world. ‘This is very annoying.’
“Commander?”
“Everything, back headquarters. I'll make a new plan.”
“Good.”
Some time after that, during the day, the library.
‘Magic, magic, magic. Something connected with magic.’ Since arriving from the trip, I went straight to the kingdom to look for books on magic. ‘Sial, I can't find it.’ There were no books on magic in this library, and I had never read a book on this either. ‘This is very annoying.’ My ignorance is causing a complicated problem.
“Iona, what are you looking for?”
“R-Risa-oneesama, I need your help.”
“Eh. I-Iona, what's up?”
“Risa-oneesama, do you know anything about magic.”
“Sih... If you want to discuss that, we should go somewhere else first.”
His attitude suddenly changed when I said that. “Good.” But I don't care, what I need right now is information regarding magic, as well as other important things about magic. If it's not like that then I'm not ready to fight the troops that will come here. ‘My time is limited, and at least I only have 2 days before that army actually attacks my kingdom. I have to hurry.’
Rooms
“Risa-oneesama, fast. Can you tell me about magic.”
“Iona, why do you want to know something about magic?”
“There's something, but I'm sorry Risa-oneesama. I can't say it.” I can't tell you what's going on right now, and the best option is to hide it. At least it's the right choice for now, but on the other hand. Since I did not comply with what Risa wanted nor would I tell anything about magic to me. That's the worst-case scenario.
“Alright, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell. I'll tell you something about magic.”
“Risa-oneesama, really?”
“Good.” I immediately closed my eyes, I did not need to ask anything because anything other than knowledge of magic was not important to ask.
A few moments later.
“Iona, you can open your eyes.”
I slowly opened my eyes, and I was very surprised by what I saw. “A-What is this?” Everything here stopped moving, and it also seemed that time had stopped except for me and Risa.
“Iona, this is magic.” Risa walked closer to me. “Not that you want to know anything about magic. This is magic.”
‘I still don't understand.’
“I know you're still confused, but how else. Everything you see is magic.”
1 things I can catch from Risa's words. ‘Things that are beyond logic are magic.’ It was exactly as it was at the moment, as well as before. Everything was out of my mind, so it was only natural that I would never count on such a thing to happen. “Risa-oneesama, can you explain in more detail.” Even so, I still haven't gotten what I want to know from this magic.
“Good. Listen carefully.”
“Good.” Risa started to explain.
“Magic is something secret, and not everyone has magic. Only a few people have magic. But in general, the members of the kingdom have magic. But there is no possibility if anyone other than the royal has magic, it's just that people other than the royal members have very little magic. Only a few people know about magic itself. And again, once a magic book was created.”
“Magic book?”
“Iya.”
“Risa-oneesama, do you have the book?”
“No one owns the book, it is rumored that the book was lost hundreds of years ago after the interracial war that happened a long time ago.”
“Interracial war?”
“The war involves all races in the world, where in the past the races in the world fought over the region and continued to fight until the number of casualties could not be counted.”
“Then, what does that interracial war have to do with magic?”
“You know, formerly in interracial war. The entire race fought using magic, and magic was not as special as it is now. Almost all races can use magic.”
“Wait, that means..”.
“Yes, either nobles, kings, or even commoners. They can all use magic.”
I don't want to say that, but the other thing that causes interracial wars to happen is magic? Yes, but since it was answered first I let it go. Even though it doesn't answer my question.
“But, suddenly something surprising happened after the race war lasted for hundreds of years ago.”
“What's up?”
“Interracial war suddenly ends.”
“Huh? What happened?” The war that had been going on for hundreds of years ended just like that, it was very strange.
“Nobody knows what caused it, but for sure. There are 1 more surprising thing.”
“What?”
“Magic power suddenly just vanished from this world.”
“Vanish, not that it means that no one in this world has magic. But, why?”
“Iona, listen to my story first. I'm still not finished telling you lo.”
“M-Sorry Risa-oneesama.”
“The magic did vanish, but there were still some people who had the rest of the magic power itself. Those who still have the rest of the magic, hunted and killed because it is considered dangerous.”
‘So.’ If magic is divided equally, then it will not be a problem because everyone can use magic. But, if only a handful of people had magic, it would be creepy for people who did not have magic. Especially if the remaining magic was used to kill.
“The years pass, and the one who has magic is only a handful. They decided to build their own territory and promised a peaceful life for his followers.”
‘As it turns out.’ The weak ask for protection from the strong, while the strong can take advantage of this for their safety. If the one who protects the weak dies, then there will be no one who will protect the weak. In a sense, if the person who has the magic is still in his power then he will live safely without even thinking about being hunted exactly as Risa said before.
“People who have magic left, continue to build empires and also instill the rest of their magic in their descendants so that the magic itself does not disappear. And it goes on until now.”
But, there is 1 thing that still makes me confused. Risa previously said that people other than royal members can also have magic, if that's how she can have magic even though she herself is not from a member of the kingdom. “Risa-onee..”
“Well, that's all I can tell you. Iona, now close your eyes.”
“T-Wait Risa-oneesama, there is something you want ak...”
“Can't, the discussion about magic is enough to just get here. If you ask about it again. I won't answer it.” Risa closed my eyes with her hands.
“R-Risa-oneesama.” In just a moment, he flipped his hand out of my eyes and it all came back to the way it was.
“It's exhausting, Iona. I'm going first. I want to rest.”
“T-Wait, Risa-o.
Sfx: Door closed.
Risa's gone without answering my celebration. But, at least I have something that I think is quite important. “If it's like that, it looks like I should do it.” ‘Disposing my logical thinking to be able to figure out how to overcome magic.’
Magic is something that is illogical, or beyond human reason. That means I have to throw away my logical thinking to figure out how to overcome magic itself, but.. “How to.” For someone who was always thinking of logical things like me, suddenly changing the direction of my mind was very difficult. “Something illogical, something illogical.”
A few minutes later.
“AHHHH!!!” My head ached at the thought of it, I who had never been illogical was suddenly forced to do this. It makes my head hurt. “Ha, stop.” I decided to lie down and rest my head. “Thinking illogically, yes. How do I do it?” I slowly began to close my eyes, and discuss the events I had passed before.
Fighting against the Ruens kingdom, I used tactics to defeat an enemy that was even 16 times larger than the army I formed. And furthermore, in the war against the kingdom of Victoria, I also used my wits and tactics to win the battle. And next thing, the chaos of the dragon.I don't know what to say but it was the first time I saw anything beyond reason. But, I can also handle it with my wits. But, the next one. Magic, yes.
Sfx: Knock the door.
“Who?” Someone knocked on my bedroom door.
“This Famus.”
“Famus, yes. You can enter.”
“Thanks.” Famus went into the room.
“What's wrong, you look panicked?”
“Commander, something is bad.”
“What problems are there?”
“A dragon!!”
