"EH~ How could a beautiful lady like her defeat an S-rank basilisk that was on a rampage at the North and killed around a thousand men?", the crown prince asked in disbelief.
" It's true fact that she was the one who defeated it since I saw it with my own two eyes before passing out unconsciously. She used a high tier magic spell that even I don't even know it's origin", Alfred explained to the crown prince with admiration towards me.
"For a 10 years old kid like you, you sure are knowledgeable about magic", I praised him without knowing that he is the head court magician.
"I'm not a kid you know, I'm a genius of a century and the head of the court magician.", he shouts childishly then pout while averting his eyes from me as if he doesn't want to talk to me anymore.
" pfft", the crown prince tried to hold his laughter and faced the other side so Alfred doesn't get angry.
" Yes, yes, you are a genius! Aiming to be the head of court magician suit you well", I try to calm him so that he doesn't hate me anymore. For some reason, he got more and more frustrated because of my compliments towards him.
The crown prince's face turns red as he almost let his laughter out loud while Alfred became furious more and more towards him.
"We're thankful for your hospitality but can we trouble you with one request?", the crown prince asked me with a polite tone.
" Sure! As long as it's within my power to do it", I said.
"Oh, your power is already plenty to help us", he replied with a grin on his face.
[THE NEXT DAY]
The crown prince and the head court magician identified themselves as an adventurer and have already bought their equipment to have a journey back to the capital city early in the morning and currently waiting for Sasha and Gilbert along with the horses.
The request he made last night was Sasha and Gilbert to escort them back to the capital city and they want to repay them for the hospitality that was given to them.
[THAT NIGHT]
" Could you escort us back to the capital city?", the crown prince asked
"Eh, sure but wouldn't you need Gilbert as the escort and not me?", I answered them with confusion.
" Haha, surely you jest, with you alone, you could even defeat an S-rank monster easily with one spell", he replied to my answer as if it was a joke.
"No, I'll join her with your request as well. It's okay, I don't need to be paid or anything. Think of it as volunteering instead", Gilbert insisted on joining me to protect me.
[BACK TO THE NEXT DAY]
Not long after that, Gilbert and I arrived along with the horses for the journey back to the capital city.
" We brought the horses. Oh wow, you guys already bought your gear too. It suits you guys", I complimented them.
Both of them didn't appear to be happy by my compliment since they are originally the crown prince and the head court magician of the kingdom. The prince looks like a swordsman class in adventurer guild while the head court magician looks like a beginner mage. They both feel insulted since they are experts and well trained in swordsmanship and magic arts.
I carried the sword that I made from earth magic, a katana, a sword that only has one sharp edge. The crown prince then took an interest in my sword and was surprised that I also know swordsmanship while Alfred took an interest in my magic. I actually learned swordsmanship in my previous life as Hiyori for self-defense.
We then start to depart from the town and head towards the capital city with ease from the cool breeze.
