Interlude

|Elizabeth Ainsworth von Lionheart POV|

Both Lucina and Isaac look at each other with a serious expression before suddenly I hear a chuckle coming from Isaac, followed by Lucina who also begins to chuckle as well.

Damn it. I know they will think of me as a crazy person.

I look at the ground in embarrassment and wait for them to tell me that I'm a crazy person.

"Eli"

I look at Isaac after he calls my name. I'm ready to be called a mentally unstable person, a crazy person, or even a lunatic person.

"Here, catch."

However, instead of calling me with those titles, Isaac threw something at me. I quickly catch it and see that what I'm holding is a Nintendo Switch that should not be in this era of time. I look at Isaac and Lucina, who smile at me before saying.

"A-Are you guys also a reincarnated person?"

Isaac shakes his head and says.

"Nope. I'm the only one who reincarnated into this world."

I look at Isaac with a shocked expression.

"I-I don't know what to say."

"Heh. You are the second person I tell about this secret. Not even my mother knows about this secret. Yet. So, I hope you did not tell this little secret to others, will ya?"

"Even if I tell it to the other, they will either sent me to the temple for possessing their princess, or I will be labeled as a retarded person."

"Fair enough."

"So, what do I need to do now?"

"Hmmm? Nothing. Like I said before, while we are getting together because of your idiotic father, I want to know you more. I want Lucina, You, and Me to fall in love with each other. I know not what the future will hold for us, Eli, but I believe you can be someone that I could fall in love with someday. If we somehow prove to be incompatible, then at very least, I believe you could be a friend who could rule by my side and ease some of my burdens."

I can feel my face begin to heat up when I hear Isaac say that with a genuine voice. His gentle smile also makes it worse.

"E-En."

"Good. However, even when you are my mistress, you cannot laze around all day. The north has strict rules about laziness. We have an unwritten rule that says you need to work if you want to eat. Everyone obeys this rule. EVERYONE. Even Lucina and I are also included in this rule. Heck, even my mother, who technically should be in her retirement still working. She is the one that controls the kitchen."

I snap from my thoughts and nod my head at what Isaac is saying.

"I know you are a princess in this life, and…"

"Mangaka"

"Mangaka? Are you from Japan?"

"Yup."

"I see…. Anyway, with you being a princess in this life and a Mangaka in your previous life, you are not too comfortable working, but I hope you will adapt to the changes."

"Yes! I will try my best."

"Good. The same with martial practice. The northern noble need to teach their children how to defend themselves, be it a boy or a girl. That is why you need to join Lucina every morning because she is the Drill Sergeant of my army."

"Yes!"

"Good. Other than that, you can do whatever you want. As long as you follow the law, you are good to roam around the north."

I nod my head.

"Good. Is there anything else?"

"Yes. I get power when I am reincarnated into this world."

"Really?"

"Yes. It was called Scan."

"Scan?"

"I can scan people in front of me and see their status like in the game."

"Really? Then can you write my stats for me?"

While saying that, he takes out a bundle of paper and gives it to me. I then use my scan power and begin to write Isaac's stats.

|Isaac Lionheart|

|Duke Rank|

|17 years old|

|Human|

|STR: 145|

|VIT: 190|

|INT: 967|

|WIS: 110|

After I write my stats, I give them to Isaac, who reads them slowly. While he read the paper, I looked at his stats with a shocked expression. For some reason, his magic stats really grow tremendously. I think his magic stats are around seven hundred points the last time I saw him, but now he has more than nine hundred points.

"Interesting. Is there anything? Because I know that this thing is not really useful."

"Yes. I can also see what others think of me."

"Hmmm… Now that is useful, especially if you want to search for an ally and see which people that want to make you their puppet."

"Yes"

Right now, I can see what Isaac thinks of me. He is proud of me for telling him my secret. He also looks at me in a different light than just an annoying princess. Lastly, he sees me as a potential life partner.

"In the future, I want to use your power. Is it okay with you?"

"Of course!"

"Thank you."

"EN!"

~Two Weeks Later~

I look at the massive wall in front of me with a smile. When I came here last time, I couldn't appreciate the Sea Dragon City's beauty, but I must say that the city is beautiful after coming here for the second time.

The white wall that reflects the sun's light makes it shine warmly to the people who see it.

Unlike the capital, which stood on top of flatland, Sea Dragon City stood next to the sea where I could see the port where many ships were located.

"Welcome to the Sea Dragon City."

I smile at Isaac as I see our carriage go inside the city. I can see from my carriage that the city is really different from the capital. Sea Dragon City is not as big as the capital city, but I can say that Sea Dragon City is more beautiful than the capital.

I look out the carriage and see many people having a pleasant day inside the city. Many of the people in the street sometimes shout how they adore Isaac. Some of them thank him for everything he has done. Some of them give their prayers to give Isaac a long life.

It is really different from the capital. Every time I pass all the districts from visiting the other lord's birthday party, I hear a curse coming from the civilians instead of praise. I hear them praying for my father's quick death. I hear them crying for what my father has done to them.

It is really different. The first time I came here, my mind was filled with how I could feed the civilians in the capital and never see the difference between Sea Dragon City and the Capital.

The Sea Dragon City is also cleaner by a large margin. There is no shit spread around the city. There is no trash lying around the ground, and there is no corpse from being murdered or being starved to death.

The Sea Dragon City would be a heaven to me if I compared it to the capital city.

When the carriage stopped, Isaac, Lucina, and I got out of the carriage and saw the ancient castle in front of me. Isaac told me about the castle where I will live for the rest of my life. He told me that this castle already exists even before the Vulux Kingdom exists.

"Welcome to Sea Dragon Castle, Lady Lionheart."

I blush a little when I hear him saying that. He already declared that even when I'm nothing but a mistress to Lord Lionheart, he said that I'm still the Lady of the Lionheart family. Lucina and Lady Eveline agree with this decision even though lady Eveline says that I need to prove myself first before she can declare me as one of the Lady of the Lionheart family.

"Thank you."

I know that my life will get harder than before, but now I know that even if my life gets harder than before, I will be content with it. There will be no one that wants to make me their slave. No one wants to make me their sex doll.

As long as I'm a decent person, the people in the north will accept me. I want a honest people to be my friend, and with me being here, I know that I can get myself a true friend. A friend that did not want me as their puppet. A friend that only befriends me for who I am, not the title I held.

Yes. I have the feeling that I will be happy living here.
