"SHEILA!"
I'll slowly lie her on the floor as she is bleeding. Just because I being clumsy, this thing happens to her.
"Hang in there, Sheila! I- I will bring the medicine right away!"
As I want to stand up, Sheila grabs my hand and shakes her head as if she already knows this would happen to her.
"Sheila?"
"The medicine won't work on me now. Your Highness, I'm already lost so much blood."
"T- Then, I will using healing spells. After that, let's go to the hospital!"
"That won't do either. The hospital is closed now also if you go there, you can't pay the cost of the medicine."
"I will work as mercenary! So, please just let's go."
As my tears want to go down, Sheila wipes them gently. Then, she said this to me.
"Your Highness, I always loved you ever since I will be appointed as a maid, even though I was an assassin who will kill you. I want you to know this one thing, that all the love I pour into you this time is not a lie. I love you dearly from the bottom of my heart and, because of that, I want you to grow up being the most powerful emperor in the history of Aerial Kingdom."
"What are you say-"
"I already know you are the descendant who bound with 'nolla'. And I know that who teach you wielding a sword and dagger. So, I'm begging you. Your Highness, be an emperor for me."
Sheila, just why? Why do you do all of this?
[The blessed one will always be facing ruin in their life. So, Your Highness, you have to prepare.]
"I'm sorry, Your Highness..."
In the end, she leaves this world in silence without anyone know. Only one person knows how she dies, and that person is the princess, the killer itself.
"Ah, so this is how the feeling of losing someone dear to me..."
"Haha, how cruel."
[So, I'm begging you. Your Highness, be an emperor for me.]
For you, Sheila. I will be an emperor.
From that night, the princess decides to be the future emperor.
She washed up the blood on the floor and buried her nanny at the most beautiful place gently so that her souls can rest in peace. After that, she returned to the palace and did the chores that her nanny would always do.
As the times pass by, the princess quietly lived in the palace alone. Sometimes, her nanny words will come into her head. At midnight, she will look up to the moon as that is the only thing she can do. The Nolla, Raellis, worried about 'Riolla', the name for the one who bound with the 'Nolla'.
This will won't do. She already likes this for one week.
"Hey, want to take a walk with me?"
"Let's go."
Geez, she is so cold now. After her beloved nanny dead, she always being cold toward me. Not to mention, she even suppresses her feeling. So everyone didn't know what her feeling each time.
She was so quiet all this time.
Tonight is cold too, like always. Hmm? What is that? A magical beast?
"Why is a magical beast here, out of all places?"
As I laid my hand on the beast head, a black fog surrounds me and lead me to another place. As I hurriedly walk back, that magical beast turns out to be a Yeull.
{Yeull. A half spirit and half magical beast creature. As they're having spirit blood running in their blood, they have an alibi like a native spirit, being able to talk with the other living thing, for example, me a human. The thicker one of them both blood, the more yeull will represent as the thicker blood.}
Yeull is a rare species since they no longer existing in this world after The XXX Emperor, Aether, raised the throne. So, why do they roaming in the royal palace freely?
"Why do you roaming in the forest freely? Do you tired of living in this world?"
"This rude creature, do you know who I am?"
What? You are a rare creature after a magical beast, that's why I'm asking you.
"You're Yeull."
"Yes. So, you must know how precious I am, right?"
"Of course, that's why I'm asking you that question. You're walking as if you want me to capture you and dismantle your body after that."
Now, now look at yourself. You're trying to lust your anger at me as if I'm at fault here. How arrogant, you even let your enemy see your mana that overflowing so you can make them shudder. How cliche, but unfortunately, that won't work on me.
In the end, I'm winning the match.
"What is your name?"
"How dare you arrogant bitch ask my na-"
"It's okay if you didn't want to tell me. I didn't care about it after all. I want to act friendly with you."
"..."
Sheesh, what hellish rubbish. You think you're strong enough to fight me, unfortunately. You picked a fight with the wrong person Mr Yeull.
"Now, Mr Yeull. Please send me back to my place before I grab you on your neck."
"Yes."
Raellis, the one who waits for me in worry, hug me right after I lean my foot on the ground. After that, I tell Raellis the situation. In seconds, the Yeull got beat to death because of his arrogance.
Because I'm too tired to handle that damn thing, I tied and locked him up in the guest room. Like that, I got to sleep and decide to interrogate him the next day.
Thanks to Raellis help, the interrogation end up smoothly but set that aside, we are still under stress. The Yeull that we're locked up in the guest room is the heir of the Yeull clan, Renoa.
"I can't believe it. How can that son of bitch be the heir of the Yeull prideful clan?!"
"I know, even I didn't believe it. But we already contacted the chief of the Yeull clan by ourselves. How can we still didn't believe it after seeing that with our eyes?"
While we contacted the chief, he explained the situation to us why does that son of bitch roaming at the royal palace lightly.
In the past generations of the Yeull clan, all the heirs must be having a contract at all costs. The contractor must be a human. Because the only creature that poses mana is human, mana is the only thing they want to since mana is Yeull's food. The contract is simply a rope that is a tie at each other by doing an exchange. So, to put it in words is like this.
"The reason why you're roaming around the royal forest so carefreely is that you want to find a person with a lot amount of mana plus, that person happens to be, am I right?"
"Exactly!." (Carefreely answers them without hesitation.)
Hah, just who is the bitches that have gives you birth. Well, if I remember correctly what the chief saying last time.
[He's current appearance may be seen as a teen boy, but he is the same age as you. He tries to look older than you using a spell. So, that you think he is more mature than you or anything. Well, even I didn't know what to say to him.]
And in the end, the chief begging at me to be the contractor.
[Please be my son contractor, I'm begging you!]
"You should be grateful that I'm a kind-hearted person because of your father kindness. I will form a contract with you."
"I didn't want to form a contract with you."
What's up with this bullshit? Hah, let's calm down first and ask him slowly before I've become insane like Raellis.
"Why don't you want to?"
"I don't need help from him! I want a contract with my way and hard work!"
The moment I come to my sense, this kiddo from the Yeull clan reminding me of my past self. Ah, that's how I was in the past and even now.
[I don't need help from Sheila! I want to haunt and make medicine on my own without your help!]
"Even though you and I same age, I became more mature than you. But, I won't say that you are useless. Instead, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. So, you must work hard from now on, Ren!"
As his eyes shining in hopes, he answers me with full spirits.
"Yes, I will work hard so, please take care of me from now on!"
And, this is how I met my familiar, Ren or in other names, Tsuki.
