11 Chapter 10 Mhhmmm, is this a opportunity I smell? (Unedited)

Crystal shaked as she raised her upper body over the gate, she peeked her head over the other side and gulped her saliva, "What a long way down to fall, father could I get some help please!"

Crystal froze as she recalled her previous cussing, and ate back her plea's.

'Yes mother, father I am tainted. You couldn't protect an adult soul could you? But I would certainly love to go to the cathedral, and have the priest dissect me!' her gaze was down at the cobble ground, but she immediately switched it back to the indistinct esate.

She eventually let go of her grip and started falling rapidly towards the ground, fortunately Crystal moved her cloak out of the way and concentrated her energy in her right foot. Giving her a boost to do a mid-air jump. She moved within the air flawlessly as if she were walking on the ground.

Making it down safely, Crystal's breathing. Increased and she jumped in joy, 'Beat that b*tches! I, the wonderful Crystal finally perfected air hopping!' Crystal moon walked on the dirt and stopped after she got tired.

Crystal pondered over her old thoughts about the Cathedral and started dripping with cold beads of sweat, 'Let's make sure the Cathedral doesn't find out I'm reincarnated. I would quite like to live with my whole body intact, not being burnt by a stake with multiple pebbles-, bricks thrown at me thanks!'

Looking behind her again, she clenched her fist and continued walking on the cobble path. The woods looked lonesome and somehow dangerous as the large, tall ever green trees rustled within the moon lit forest. If one were to observe closely the ever green species would be known as the Blue spruce. Many other spruces spreaded through the dark forest.

It reminded Crystal of her home, the orphanage. The orphanage was located near the Canadian Rockies. Crystal always wondered why the orphanage was on a snowy mountain peak, secluded from the world.

Crystal sighed as she glanced at the trees again, 'Those aren't Blue spruce, heck they're copy cats. Seem's the author got lazy with naming trees.'

Crystal continued the walk as she got a certain distance away from the manor, she spotted a few figures standing next to the cobble path, waiting for something. She squinted her eyes and looked around to see anything suspicious. However nothing was out of place.

'Does craziness run within the world, or am I the only one finding this super weird!?' Crystal scratched the back of her head and pressed her lips together, 'This looks super shady! Like it's the middle of the night and some random as* strangers decided to occupy the side of the road staring at nothingness! If this is the W*lking d*ead don't drag me into this!'

Crystal panicked, but hid it under her calm facade. She drew closer to the group and avoided eye contact. Hoping that they would just ignore her, her fingers crossed just to make her luck grow several folds.

"Ai kid, ya waitin' for da carriage?" a man who looked like a farmer spoke up.

'Sh*t, sh*t sh*t! Why does fate hate me! I can't speak with formal speech, or they'll know I'm a noble!' Crystal calmed herself and said a mantra within her head 'Breath in, breath out...'

Crustal directed her gaze towards the farmer man and responded with her poor informal tone, "So there's a carriage here?"

The farmer looked weirdly at her, as her tone caught some people's attention, "Ya'r new around here lad? Ya seem confused," the farmer raised his hands and crossed them.

'So there's a carriage here, great saves the work I have for later! But this is a rather... It's where it is, thats confusing!? There's no sign for a carriage stop! Amazing, mob characters are taken for granted!'

Crystal glanced around and felt gazes of people burn into her, to shake the awkward atmosphere off she looked towards the commoners and waved.

A smile bloomed on her covered face and the commoners could feel the friendly aura she gave off. They nodded their heads and continued with their night. Crystal pressed her thumping chest and fanned her small face.

After a miserable wait, finally the carriage decided to come on its own sweet time. It looked rather broken down, but it could hold for a few more year's if repaired right. The horses were rather malnourished and seemed rather tired. Crystal grimaced and clenched her fist.

'Guess poverty exists in this world too...' the more Crystal traveled, the more she came ro a realization that this is her reality now.

It's no longer words on a page. The people she interacts with, has feelings just like any normal human. At this thought Crystal suddenly felt a Hero complex building up within her.

Sitting in the back of the carriage squashed up between the commoners, and fellow night workers. A small child around her age sat opposite her, and his eyes gleamed with a beautiful innocent light.

"Ma! That big sissy looks pretty!" He clapped his hands pointing in her direction.

Crystal grew surprised as she had used a bit of magic to conceal her actual gender. Crystal smirked, and her eyes sparkled with an unknown light.

"Felix, it's bad manners to point at someone!" the mother reprimanded him, she look towards Crystal and gave an apologetic smile, "Im sorry For Felix's behavior...his quiet open about everything."

"No, no its totally fine!" Crystal waved her hands and smiled happily.

Crystals eyes turned crescent and she glanced at the boy once more. He looked quite ordinary at a glance, but his brown hair had a bit of a white fade to it. His giant innocent hazel eye's, stared at her curiously as his tiny head was titled.

He had a beauty spot under left his eye, which would look all the more enchanting once he matured enough.

'Ahh, even if they are side characters, they still need to look beautiful, no?' Crystal licked her dry lips and rubbed her hands like a greedy merchant.

'It seems like I will soon acquire the Right hand man of the Emperor,' Crystal let out a big grin at the gold she discovered.
