Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)

Chapter 10: Make it double- I mean triple!

Kein's POV

You know, even after being in here for weeks. All I have been doing was chores, paint, and more chores.

Also escape the mansion once in a while to get into the market and look around. So all in all I haven't really grabbed any useful information that might help me get out of this place.

Other than knowing almost everyone can do magic. "Ugh!" I groaned in frustration getting envious of all these magic users but where's mine?!

Sure I might be only ten but I'm really becoming impatient with it. How are two years going to come by in a flash?

This place is really horrible.

So I decided the next day I'll ask Lenard for some books I could borrow and see how it goes.

.-.-.-.-.-.

Lenard sat beside me as he gave me the fifth book that he has and smiled at me trying to lift my spirits as I frowned a little. "This is all the materials I have concerning the history, diplomacy, and laws about our kingdom!"

I nod grunting, taking in the huge ass book that might as well be a encyclopedia for fucks sake. "Are we the only kingdom or are there more?"

Lenard widened his eyes and panics, "Y-You really haven't learned anything or at least knew simple things."

"No, as I said I wasn't really allowed to read much and was kept hidden." I excused myself. Lenard never met my father (actually not mine but the real Kein) who took care of me apparently until he died. I read it in Kein's diary which is me but technically not me.

"There are also materials there that tie us to the other seven kingdoms! So don't you worry! If you need help in reading, ask me!" (Lenard) enthusiastically yelled and gave me a slight push. He seems really happy... hmm I wonder… did something really good happen?

"Easy there." I told him while giving him a suspicious look. "So why are you in such a good mood today hmm?"

Lenard blinks for a few moments before giggling, "I mean. Nothing much, just Lord Vincent asking if it was alright to visit next weekend."

Oh my. Lenard is making progress. I'm so proud of him. "Lenard, it seems like you don't need me as your wing woman anymore. I'm so proud you're making progress even without my help."

Really, I was. I was so frustrated of how much gay panic got him but now he's actually going out with Lord Vincent! "I-It's not... that commendable... but thank you, Kein. I mean it." (Lenard)

I smiled and punched him on the shoulder lightly, grinning. "That's what families do. Help each other."

I really meant it. Even if I'm not the real Kein, I'll try my best to be a good cousin. Besides, I only had one family member on earth and I'm sure my daughter would've loved Lenard for an uncle.

He's a sweet little boy after all. "Well I'll go read this thin one for now while I do my chores thanks again Lenard."

"Mnhmm! See you, Kein! I-I should probably have something prepared for Lord Vincent when he comes to visit." (Lenard) saunters off as I saw his figure disappearing in the distance. Guess he's going to be real frantic with his crush around and wants to impress him.

I sighed softly and wished him good luck. Well time to do my chores then while I read.

I took the broom and decided to sweep while having my other hand hold the book and read, "There are seven kingdoms in total in the world. Three human ones and the others are of different races."

From what I'm reading here this world is called [Devalion]. A world of many kinds of different races come together and try to coexist.

Also wow they had a lot of wars.

Sounds like a dark name honestly. I'm actually surprised at how similar the cultures on earth are to the other places scribbled here.

I'm in a world of medieval fantasies so I can't expect some magic phones to be made huh. I'm no scientist, software engineer or technician so I can't make it on my own but I know of the concept and materials needed to build one.

How?

"I had an ex-girlfriend as a technician and I got some free lessons out of our relationship. All the snoring on our bed was worth listening to then." I muttered remembering her and wondered how she's doing right now.

I think she's fine and I bet she's not even missing me. "Right so the three human kingdoms."

The one where I'm currently in is named [Puronia] a land full of bountiful forests. The home of the Light Goddess, and the royal family who was bestowed by the power of light. From the past decade however the forest has been weirdly unbalanced, crops have been dying and trees no longer bear much fruit leaving the kingdom scarce of food.

Famine has resulted and people without homes doubled. Also the kingdom is famous for arts, wine, and sculptures.

I didn't notice it but... when Rose stole that apple made the owner mad and gave it to a beggar.

I understand what's happening now, the kingdom I'm in might have some trouble ahead of them. "You know, usually the solution to this is arranged marriages with another powerful kingdom. Let's see what other kingdoms are in here."

[Winshern] kingdom. A kingdom full of snow and good minerals. Famous for its healing hot spring treatment. It's been the home of the Goddess of Winter and God of shadows.

It's where the two gods usually escape to and uh... have some fun? Ahem.

In any case apparently it's a powerful kingdom, they have good weapons, a school for both commoners and nobles, and another royal family blessed by those gods. I wonder what their hot springs must be like. I rather miss it.

"Man I'm feeling left out with all the magic here, and I feel a little homesick too. How about someone bless me like those isekai characters my ex reads?" I groaned. If I knew I would get hit by a truck I would've completed some other isekai anime recommended to me by my weeb friends and ex.

"Why did I have to be so stupid and not watch more anime back then– Damn it."

Alright let's move on before I get even more depressed about this.

The next kingdom is called [Sprivanto]. Apparently it's a kingdom full of colors, different cultures come together, and hold on they allow same sex marriages there?

Doesn't the kingdom name sound like Spanish let me see– if they have any clothes drawn oh! Yeah their traditional wear is similar to Spanish clothing and they are famous for their events, festivities, music and parties. Many gifted singers, bands, and bards came from this kingdom.

[Winshern] is more of a winter clothing and I think they won't care more about the fashion but the actual quality of the clothes if it can protect you from the cold. [Puronia] has clothes similar to Englishmen with all the coats, suits, Victorian dresses for nobles, shirts, dresses and pants for commoners. [Sprivanto] is more... free of their clothing, now that I see it it's spanish-ish mixed with other designs.

Man why can't I be reincarnated in [Sprivanto] I bet there's a lot of gay and lesbian bars there! I can't wait to move out then again I still won't be able to get in because of my age.

"Curse you child body of mine!"

In any case, I glanced at the book once again and read the other four kingdoms remaining.

[Beloma] kingdom. It's where half-human and half-animal beast-men live and reside. They are a country with also having a royal family, the rulers being half-human and half-lion. The kingdom is famous for their high quality meat, restaurants, herbs, spices, and services?

Wow, also I mean technically. Lions are the king of the animals so this is really accurate. Wait... hold on so does that mean– there's catgirls in there?

Wow the sudden realization of that, I know many of my otaku or weeb friends who like those types of girls will be envious of me. Good lord I can hear them complaining now.

I laugh forgetting I was on sweeping duty. "Sweep, sweep."

Their clothing is similar to the people in [Puronia] , more casual and not many suits.

Okay, the next one is called, [Dwarfar], by the looks of the name it's where dwarfs live. Famous for their skill in blacksmithing and architecture. Indeed, they are awesome.

They live in the tallest mountain of Mount Skrafa. They provide the best quality weapons and sell them at a very expensive price, and one my wallet can never afford.

Anyways it says here that dwarfs are strict, extremely loyal to their dwarf king, and would follow him anywhere into battle. Oh and they like vodka.

"My type of people. Anyone who drinks vodka is my people." I muttered about missing the alcohol. I can't believe they have it here! Vodka in this world! I am blessed!

The clothes they had were leather-ish and very stylish. I think they also have knowledge on embroidery for designing their many armors. This is awesome. Other than their weapons, they make good furniture, buildings, and worship the God of Fire/Forgery or the God of the Sun.

[Mermadia] is the kingdom in the middle of the sea, I see.

Pun might or might not be intended. This is where mermaids, merman, or the fish folk dwell in. They are not considered beast-men or call them part fish because they want to be called mermaids or merman.

I see, just because they live in the sea and on land. Their clothes consist of well shells, seaweeds, and um coral flowers? The book didn't draw what they look like so maybe I'll have to travel and see one for myself. To tour or even visit the kingdom you need some sort of permission and you must be judged by one of the royal family's trusted advisors or be recommended by one of the royal families or you've been hired. I don't know how they'll transport humans inside their kingdom but I'm pretty stoked to find out how.

Famous for fish, pearls, and guiding the traveler on a safe journey on the sea, being blessed by the Goddess of the Sea.

[Demonum] the final kingdom. The land where the demons resides, they are harsh, ruthless, an abomination, full of rascals and horrible being that–

Hey isn't this too mean? The book was fine a moment ago but– this is all just hateful words and no actual information on demons.

Wow and they scribbled um... Their clothing is bizarre and full of pointy, sharp horns. "Okay, I think I'll skip anything demon related because I think there's been some bad blood here."

Demons are blessed by the God of Darkness.

Also weren't [Sprivanto] blessed by the God of Shadows? Shadows and Darkness are not the same? Are they siblings or something?

Well this is the last entry. I learned a lot except for the demon part. You know I never knew why it's always with the demons who have problems with other kingdoms. "Maybe they just still see demons as well... demons after all in myth they're really horrible."

Maybe in this world they aren't? Even without demons, humans are pretty demon-like when they can. "Ah well, done sweeping for the day. Now where can I peacefully read more without being disturbed–"

"Hold it right there!"

I spoke too soon. I look behind me to see the three maids who're the main cause of my suffering, and a lot of my other sufferings.

"Prepare for trouble!" (Maid 1)

"And make it double– I mean triple!" (Maid 2)

"Um... To protect our world from devastation?" (Maid 3)

"To unite all people within our nation!" (Maid 1)

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" (Maid 2)

"To extend our reach to the moon above." (Maid 3)

What the fuck? Is this a maid version of the team rocket opening?

"Madelyn!" (Maid 1)

"Maddie!" (Maid 2)

"And Dottie." (Maid 3)

Not going to lie. Dottie felt like dying on that set. Well these are the maids that apparently hate me.

Well only two of them actually hate me, and do things the other one just stands there and watches, usually when it crosses the line she's the straight man who stops the two idiots.

"So how did you like our performance?" (Madelyn) asked as she posed her hands like one of those villainess that goes OHOHOHO.

Honestly she fits the check boxes just put her on a dress and give her a fan I guarantee roses would be flying out of nowhere next. "Yeah! Madelyn you were the most awesome back there!" (Maddie) yelled kissing up on Madelyn's ass.

Honestly these two have similar names.

The last silent one is named Dottie. I don't get what's her deal but I mean she also got into the little skit they had. This is making me have two feelings all at once.

One, I can't believe they just made something similar to Jessie and James' motto from pokemon. I feel like laughing.

Second, I feel pissed that it looks like I'll need to do some of their bidding to leave me alone.

"I mean. It's great."

Nope it was shit and you can't beat the Jessie and James duo. Even Meowth! What the fuck was that even man.

"Great now you're going to be doing our duties so we can catch up with the latest gossip these days." (Madelyn) ordered as Maddie got back with a broom, mop, and a bucket.

Okay ouch. Hell no.

"Yeah, you are!"(Maddie) followed.

Dottie just shrugged and looked worried there. Man, they Madelyn even has this country accent I can't focus on. I know they're the maids that threw me off the river but that was mostly Madelyn and Maddie.

Dottie just watched and left when she knew I could swim. I mean the river wasn't that deep but I noticed that she cared at least. "Why don't you go do it on your own?" I crossed my arms and refused their orders.

They have their own hands and feet. Why should I do it?

"After all, what's the use of a hand that has been gifted to you by the gods? They'll be disappointed if they knew you're doing these kinds of things to a little kid." I continued with my reasoning and she didn't think much of it.

Apparently, causing a misdeed is a shame. This is after all a kingdom run by the Light goddess believers, maybe if I call them out on it they'll finally stop. "I can just pray for forgiveness later and my misdeeds will be done. Besides, the Countess looked pleased when I told her all the things I did to you." (Madelyn)

Countess? Ah right my Aunt Haren.

Her husband is a Viscount and whom I haven't seen yet even after all this time. Also praying your sins away? And then tomorrow do it again then pray?

You sound like some people from earth who'll still end up going to hell even if they're and I quote, 'I'm a Christian and I pray everyday. So I'm going to be 100% sure I'll be in heaven.'

You need to also be a decent human being to get into that place but then again I was an atheist. I didn't believe in those– not until now I knew there was magic and actual gods or goddesses blessing people.

"Still I won't do it." I told them.

Madelyn grins and steps forward. "May the god of fire bless me as I heed your call, [Fire Magic: Flame]."

A small flame appeared on her hand and looked at me. "Then you know what we'll do next. Won't you?"

Fuck this is the third time she's going to apply fire on me.

"Madelyn, it's not worth it. Why don't we just drop this and let it go?" Finally (Dottie) speaks up and grabs Madelyn by the arm.

Maddie shakes her head, "Madelyn! She just said no to us! If we don't discipline children they'll never listen!"

Oh don't you dare encourage her you psycho! I'm only ten! And flames like that can cause 1st degree burns!

"You're right Maddie. Naughty children need to obey. If not, they'll be astray." (Madelyn) stepped a lot closer to me as the flame in her hand suddenly got more bigger.

"Madelyn! She's just a kid come on, drop it already–" (Dottie) tried grabbing Madelyn's arm but she was pushed away.

"Shut up, Dottie. Mind you, know your place." (Madelyn)

Dottie's eyes looked hurt, and she looked at me a little apologetic before backing away.

This woman got Dottie too? How shitty is Madelyn to not even care to get a child– pretty shit and Maddie too.

It's okay Dottie. You tried at least.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Ah hell that hurt… so much." I cried out in pain after knowing finally they left.

Honestly they held me down for ten minutes and inflicted burns over my back and shoulders. Of course they needed to take my blouse off now it's a little wrinkled.

I also looked at the book I borrowed from Lenard. It's been... stomped on. It's a little destroyed now but still...

I grit my teeth from anger and frustration. I couldn't do anything against three people. "Ah my back..."

It feels so hot. I don't know if I can go on like this. "[Storage Ring]."

Thankfully they didn't take my storage ring.

I took out the healing ointment, poured it over my hand, and tried reaching for my back but I could only apply half of it. I can't reach some sides so it looks like that'll have to do. "Just a few more years. I need to get out of here."

The sooner the better. I'll find out if later is a possibility I'll need to talk to Lenard about this.
