Chereads / The First Prince's Requiem / Chapter 17 - Chapter 16 - Date I

Chapter 17 - Chapter 16 - Date I

This is Reisa's second life after she died from old age. For Reisa, sixty years had passed for her. She was more than an adult, even her timid attitude was less than before. It's just that, maybe because this time his body returned to youth, Reisa felt that feeling again. A feeling that made his heart pound with a tingling feeling. The feeling that she had not felt for a long time after her marriage. The feeling when she was first invited to dance, or the first time she saw her husband. Feelings that she had unconsciously forgotten, now reappeared because of the same person. She didn't know what to do as she froze on the spot.

"Are you okay Lady?" when she realized, a soft and low voice sounded in Reisa's ears. In front of him was Lucas's face that was full of worry, that expression looked so unfamiliar, even more so with his current disguise.

"Prince?" Are you really the first prince? Who the hell are you? Who am I? EHH?

"Lady?" Lucas looks satisfied after seeing Reisa's reaction "...or should I call senior ... big sis?" until his expression returned to an indifferent expression with a sly smile, even though Lucas was quite enjoying the time he was able to tease the woman in front of him but he didn't want to waste his time.

"For the theme of disguise this time we will become adventurers, if based on your clothes you are a high magician while I am just a rookie adventurer. Think of yourself as my senior. Understood senior? "

It happened too fast so Reisa could only nod her head like a chick.

"Good, oh yeah just in case just call me Sid or junior."

After that they went to the shop next door and bought adventurer's equipment. Lucas takes a sword for the novice adventurer and a green magic wand with light blue crystals for Reisa. The two of them then headed to the part of the shopping distric that sold food.

"Senior?"

"Ah ... yes?" Reisa accidentally bumped into Lucas who stopped suddenly in front of him. Lucas grabbed Reisa's shoulder and pushed her forward.

"Isn't it a senior's job to guide her juniors?"

"But ... I ..." it's just that when Reisa saw Lucas's annoyed expression so she hurriedly took a step forward.

"So it should be... today senior will help me shopping right? Please."

It took Reisa a while to catch Lucas's words until she understood and finally pointed to one of the food stall.

"Th ... then, would junior want to try that food?" hearing Senior Reisa's offer, junior Lucas smiled happily.

"Yes! It looks delicious. Do seniors want to try it with this junior? "

After enjoying the culinary delights for quite a long time the two of them finally arrived at a small park in one of the rest areas at the end of the shopping district. The two of them sat on a wooden bench with a box filled with donuts between them.

"Isn't it great that you can finally relax?"

"Hhe…" Reisa hurriedly finished the donut in her mouth, she looked happy. "Thank you S-id, I never thought I could walk around like this."

Reisa's tone became more cheerful, at first she was still uncomfortable because the duke she remembered was a stiff and strict person. But after spending a few hours shopping and scrambling about the taste of the food, Reisa feels closer and more comfortable. Reisa then whispered softly

"Prince, I have something to say."

If it was earlier or during a busy time, Lucas might reprimand her and insist on calling him Sid but this time he let it be and answered casually.

"Say it."

"Actually…" unfortunately before Reisa could say it, a group of big men with rough appearance had surrounded them. At glance and you know that they are thug.

"Hay Sis, is she your boyfriend?" One of the people behind Lucas without further ado immediately grabbed Lucas by the shoulder and threw him to the ground in a 'thud' voice.

Lucas's face was not visible, it's just that he was still lying on the ground for a long time and it made Reisa panic. Meanwhile the people laughed derisively.

"HAHAHAHAHA! So weak! Of course he is not the boyfriend of this beautiful woman, at most just lackeys! Hahaha! "

"How dare you! This person is… " Before Reisa finished she saw Lucas raise his hand to stop her to reveal who he is. At that time Reisa realized that if a prince show up battered in the street, this will be a shame. Reisa held it even more after seeing Lucas get up. Reisa remembers that her husband is one of strong swordsman, it's just that the next thing she saw made Reisa dumbfounded.

"Ah my sword ...."

When Lucas wanted to take his sword but the sword on his waist had disappeared. Whereas in front of him the people were laughing even more loudly,

"HA HA HA! Look! your sword is here" one of the thug wave the sword in the air.

"Don't you dare to take it haha" Lucas stepped forward trying to take his sword, but his leg tripped over one of the thug until Lucas fell.

In the end Lucas ended up beaten by those people. Reisa who was the back was annoyed

"Stop!" and reflexively wanted to protect Lucas so she hit one of the men who beat Lucas with her staff.

"Ack!" the man complained then looked at Reisa who shocked herself because of her actions, but when she saw Lucas who was lying on the ground it made Reisa's eyes suddenly reddened.

"Beautiful Miss, don't be impatiance, soon your turn will arrive." Said the man who started to approach Reisa. Even though Reisa's appearance was like a high ranking magician but they were already watching Reisa before she changed clothes. Regarding the man who accompanied him, of course they could not think that it was the same man as the first prince. They look too different.

Besides, the reason they were targeting Reisa was because it was a rare thing to be able to have rich nobles visiting this deserted place. of course this is because during shopping Lucas gave Reisa the money.

When that man was only a step away from Reisa, it was as if time was slowing down. The man's hand that almost held Reisa moved so slowly that one of Reisa's casual move managed to avoid it. Reisa was amazed but she didn't have much time, when she looked where Lucas laying down, there were still six people surrounding him. From where they were, Reisa could see a shadow moving and her head telling Reisa what movements they were going to do. At that time Reisa immediately swung her wand at the closest man.

"[Blast]"

Instantly the stick emitted an electric spark which stung the man until he passed out. Reisa smiled wryly, because at that moment she remembered Lucas's words.

"This wand already has mana reserves in it, if there's anything you can't say the magic word [blast], understand?" said Lucas playfully that make her thing it was just a passing joke.

Three of the six who surrounded Lucas then approached Reisa with caution. Meanwhile the rest held Lucas.

"Hey! Who said she wasn't a real magician? "

"Of course the information I got is correct, just look at those lame movements.."

Instantly they looked at Reisa and watched her until they came to a conclusion. One of them whistled after observing Reisa's plump body and said

"It must be because of the effect of that expensive magic staff."

"Hmm ... we should have taken it first."

"Beautiful Lady, you better hand over the magic staff to us or your friend here will be in VERY huge trouble."

The man in front said while pointing at Lucas, who was lying on the floor but Reisa shook her head in refusal, her eyes determinated then she put her feet on the stance she had seen when her father and brother practiced, holding the magic staff tightly in front as if it was a sword.

"Come on!"
