Chapter 370: Exploring The City (1/2)
Alma POV 6/17
-----
I looked down into the vastness of the city of Elves of my country, I instantly fell in love with the entirety of the place, and I had even yet to get down there and explore the beauty of my own country, the one I rightfully own as the princess!
I guess being a princess is not so bad if it comes with a whole country for myself! Hehe…
”Now let's get to it!” I said.
”W-Wait, princess! You're not going in a carriage? It is dangerous to go by yourself! Y-You could be assaulted by thieves!” said Rose.
”Don't worry about it! I want to stretch my legs, you know? I got this! Elred here is pretty strong, right? You can protect me.” I said.
”S-Sure! I am a strong Rank 2 Magus!” said Elred.
He was actually strong. He was born with a double elemental Mana Core of Water and Ice, so he was actually an amazing fighter and powerful magician, he had trained rigorously before several mages, and even held his own rapier with him, a magical item of great power he carried everywhere. Despite just being 7 years of age, he was also already Rank 2, he trained hard and also had the whole resources of a rich country like Flowerbed, so he was obviously strong.
This is the power of having a rich husband! In this world, money also meant power as you can get more resources through it, so it was quite obvious that the prince of a country was strong even at a young age.
”And you're plenty strong yourself, Rose, you can also protect us, can't you?” I asked.
”Well… Yes, I will. But please make sure to keep yourselves close with one another.” Sighed Rose.
”I will protect you, my princess. Don't worry about any danger as long as you're with me…” said Elred, barely mustering those words as he grew very embarrassed of saying them.
”Ohoho~ I am glad you're such an overprotective boy, Elred. I'll be reassured to be at your side then!” I said while winking back at him. That single wink impacted his heart and almost gave him a heart attack. Being a cute girl is dangerous, this power… I've finally begun to realize how strong it can be!
