Should I kill

After seeing who I am going to project, two things came to my mind. First one was that she was cute, second one came right after and that was, that I'm over 40 years old when both ages are combined.

The girl had pine green eyes and sage green hair. She was wearing a black and white dress. She would be a total beaty in the future but now she was only cute.

-How old are you?

-13

-So, we're the same age.

She looked at me observably, looked up and down and after she thought that she had seen everything she asked me another question.

-What are you doing here.

-I'm your bodyguard.

-But you're the same age as me?

I took my badge and showed it to her, she was surprised but not shocked. She nodded after a while and put it away again. We sat there kinda awkwardly but eventually the carriages started to move.

-Who are you?

She asked a simple question but I didn't really understand it. What did she mean, who am I? Does she know about my other life?

-Why is your hair different color than it shows? And what are those pupils?

How? It was a magical item that you shouldn't be able to see. My pupil also seemed normal because I was using magic to hide them. Still, she could see them. She is only 13 and that means only one thing.

-You have a magical body.

-Yes, my eyes.

I read about them in the library, people who have magical organs. You can have skin that changes its shape or material, feet that can fly, wings, horns and so on, she has eyes. Magical eyes can see mana, I heard that it looks like sparkles and when someone uses magic, they get together and change color according to the element or magic.

So she could see the black sparkles on my hair and eyes. Should I do something about this? She could expose me and I would have to leave, but if I kill her, I still need to leave and maybe to another continent.

I looked at her and wondered, if I could trust her or not, what if she blackmails me? Let's see how see responds first, after all she is just a 13 year old girl but she's also a noble. So, I should not underestimate her thinking because of her age, nobles always seem older than they actually are.

I took off the effects of the ring and my magic and now looked like back at home. My hair was as long as before but now snow white. My eye color was still purple but now on my pupils was a weird symbol, like a tree with no aligned branches.

The girl's face didn't change, I was nervous. I didn't really want to kill her. She only saw it because of her body's abilities and it's not her fault fully. If what she said didn't sound good to me, I should escape this place and run to another place.

But something I didn't expect happened. She got up, walked next to me, and stared deeply to my eyes. It was VERY embarrassing but I didn't want to face the other way or close my eyes, because she seemed to be looking at them.

Then she raised her hand and started to play with my hair, I had my head down not knowing what to do. Only my mom had treated me like this, why was this random girl doing it. I raised my head to look at her, she saw my questioning stare, blushed a little and then went back to her seat.

She cleated her throat and then started talking again.

-My name is Olivia and I was just curious.

-It's alright, and nice to meet you Olivia.

After that there was a awkward silence between us, but I wanted to know what she would do while knowing about my true appearance.

-What are you going to do now?

-About what?

-Now that you know my true appearance.

-Why would I do anything.

-You know that it's a big secret for me, wouldn't you use it against me somehow?

-No, you're cool and will not mention about it, but only if you don't mention about what I did.

She seemed a little red while saying that and was avoiding to look into my eyes.

-Alright.

I was happy, I didn't have to kill this innocent girl nor did I have to leave this city or continent. That happiness ended shortly however, when the carriages started shaking. I quickly activated the ring and my magic again to hide my hair and eyes.

I gathered more mana, if I needed to use it for something quickly.

Olivia seemed to be a little scared, the shaking however stopped after a dozen of seconds and then it was quiet. I still had my sword in the sheath but I was ready to draw it at any second, we both were sitting down and tried to be as silent as possible.

Then the door opened, and a hooded man came in, he was waving a small around and tried to stab me with it. I kicked him away and jumped out of the carriage after that.

The other carriages weren't there but instead there were about 20 masked people. They all the same outfit and had a sword or knife. I thought about what to do, if they all were as strong as the last guy, I could beat them alone.

However, if there is at least one that has a core with two rings, it will make my fight harder. I can still win and survive but I couldn't project Olivia. I tried to run scenarios in my head, mom told me that it was a great way to check if your plan can work.

None of them worked, expect for one. I jumped inside the carriage again, put my backpack on my back and then turned towards Olivia.

-Ayden, what are you?

I picked her up and hold her like a princess. After that I charged my feet with lightning and blasted through the other side of the carriage and away from the bandit/assassins. They quickly noticed my escape and started to follow me, but some were still keeping up with me.

That was bad, I was this fast with realm and thunder magic and they were still keeping up with me? They may even have four rings. I had to lose them, so I started to make random turns and sometimes even climb on trees.

How could I escape this?
