Undine, Thalassia Kingdom.
Princess Mariel POV*
What was that? Really, what was that? Did that peasant just ignored this one? There is no way that is possible right? I stared at my guard who was shaking is anger. "You fool, did that guy just disrespected this one?" I asked him. My guard stiffened clearly, "I-I-I think that rude person just couldn't understand her highness's greatness! Yes, that is it!" I see.. he really ignored this one right? I lost all of my interest in this place... My mind won't be at ease unless I teach that commoner a lesson! I'll make sure that he will never think of that way again! Now that I think about it, his servants are rather beautiful... I'll take them all from him. There is no thing that a royalty like me couldn't take, even if I ask a mage he would immediately come running to my hand and wag his dog like a puppy.
"You, who is the noble handling this town again?" I questioned one of my guard who I saw is already calm. "Princess, it would be Count Navasa! He is under the Duke Rashed's Faction! It is said that he became a count because of Duk-" the guard began showering his knowledge, "Stop, stop, this one doesn't care about the little details. Just take me to his abode, I shall let him handle this nuisance for me.. it would be a honor for him to do it" I stopped the guard while ordering them. They didn't even complain and just went to complete the order, ha. Though.. I wonder what that feeling I felt when that peasant's disinterested gaze was placed on me... This is certainly a thing that I need to investigate.
Shaking off those thoughts, we arrived at the small mansion of the count. We we're received with warm welcome that has bored me to death. All of them are the same, always trying to flutter a higher up just to gain some kind of advantage, even this one is getting tired of it. I was lead to the parlor of the mansion where the count was already waiting. This fool really has a useless confidence, does he think that by doing this he will be able to put his position in view? Normally a normal noble would need to receive a royalty on their gateway but this fool proceeded to raise his pride and did this. I am looking forward to crushing that pride with my higher authority. Because even if he is a count with a fief, he will never be able to handle a royalty that is literally the child of the king.
I sat on the sofa infront of the man before a staring contest started. I experienced more pressure than this feeble one before so brushing it off was not a problem to me. That continued for a few more minutes until he couldn't take it anymore, specially when my guards are already showing a hostile attitude. "... Oh my, this is a unexpected visit! I am honored to be basked in your gracefulness your highness" he started with that huh? Really no shame. "Indeed, you should be. For lower fools has no choice but to beg me for my presence. It has a nice ring to it... You assuming a dog's stance that is" I sneered at the guy, I throw insult without hesitance making the man stop, he was probably taken aback with how frank I am. Nobles tend to sugarcoat things which I really dislike, I prefer more straightforward things of doing way. Something like that rude guy did.
"... I am honored. What does the princess want in my humble town?" He asked with displeasure on his gaze, that is right. He can not even retort to my insults as it would be treason. This is the greatness of being from someone above the heirachy. "You say that as if you don't want me here, am I right to assume that you wish me to get lost in your sight immediately?" I chuckled at the reaction he was showing. It was certainly amusing watching him being panic about it but doing his best to hide it. "N-No.. certainly not. I apologized for the wrong way of putting it your highness" he immediately apologized which is boring. "Figures, anyway. I want you to do something in this town" I went to the point without curving in the way. "Something you say? I.. could not simply accept a request that would led to my town's demise but I will accept anything else" he said with complicated look on his face.
"Request? There is no such thing as request when talking about a royalty. It is always order, ORDER understood? And it is not as big as that. I just want you to pressure a young man while he is in this town. I don't want him to live comfortable during his stay here so do all you can to handle that disrespectful person" I said while narrowing my eyes at him. "I-I apologize. I see, if that is the case then it is doable. Can I ask who is this person is? And what did he do to anger the princess like this?" He apologized first before asking. I began describing his features along with his servant's features while the count made the butler write it in a stone. "...and, don't ask anything about what happened. It is already stepping beyond your line" I finished it with that. Now that is done, I am looking forward to what will happen. Will that peasant resist what will come to him? Or just surrender to it?

Ascella's POV*
Well... the situation turned rather weird. Everywhere we go, we are always treated wrongly. The taverns are rejecting us and people are avoiding our figures, but what made this weird is that they are doing it with reluctant look on their faces showing just how new they are to doing this farce. Sigh, nobles and royalties are really troublesome, everyone of them are pain in the ass. Well, I could not blame that spoiled princess since occurence like this is probably new to her. Being pampered and flattered by everyone around, it is not a surprise that she would gain an attitude like that. "Well, it seems like we are quite hated in this area huh? Where did I even go wrong?" I tilted my head in confusion. "You really.. you should have solve that situation calmly Ascella. Now we are stuck in this situation.. what should we do?" Genib sighed while massaging her head.
"Don't be that troubled Genib. We have many solution in our pockets right? You should just follow the flow! Though I do admit that it was immature of me to let my disgust for nobles get ahead of me. I'll keep that in mind" I smiled at Genib who seemed relieve. "Ascella... how should we solve... this?" Tania asked while pulling my clothes. Umu, she is as cute as usual, Tania is really my stress reliever here. I am glad that I encountered her before. Wait, what happened to that two geezers that are chasing us? Did they gave up already? It would be better if they did, then there will be no body to dispatch after all. Hm?... I didn't notice it before but my personality turned from barely okay to worse right? My mind was already affected by my family but after coming to this world, its as if the shackle that is holding it broke. Even doing a genocide didn't bother me a bit....
This is really a troublesome thing to think right now. "Hm, let's use magic!" I suggested gaining a chop in the head by Genib. "Genib hereby reject that idea! Genib is suggesting to stop using magic to handle all kind of problems. It would be bad if everyone rely on it all the time, what if we arrive in a place where magic does not work? Then all of us would be useless" Genib gave a rather logical lecture that made me think about the situation twice. I could just say that my mana capacity already exceeded a Great Spirit but I have never seen a Great Spirit before so I can't really compare it. Really, always relying on magic is no good, we need to think more about this. "Then leave it to us, master" Luna said smiling. "Yup! This is our good side master! Learn from us" Lina added gaining my attention. "Hm... I have a bad feeling about... this" Tania muttered something that only I heard.
Luna and Lina left our side and walked towards what looked like an inn. We followed them since we are curious to what they will do only to be dumbfounded to the two's action. "Oi, will you let us stay or you'll let us stay?" Luna broke her character barked at the owner with delinquent like voice. Shit.. is this their solution? "Yea! Resist and don't blame us for slipping our hands" Lina cheerfully said while her hand snapped a table in half. Blood drained from the owner's face as he started shaking on his place. I went to both of their sides before dropping my fist on their heads. ""Ouch!"" They clenched their heads while looking at me with pitiful gaze, clearly asking what did they do wrong. "I apologize for the disturbance they made, we are currently in need of a place to stay. Would you be so kind to let us stay for a night?" I asked politely while the two elves just grumbled.
"I-I'm sorry but we are currentl—. Understood we will prepare the room right away!" He was about to refuse the request but stopped midway when I secretly handed him a gold coin. I think only my group noticed it. "That is what I would like to hear. Thank you" I thanked the man while waiting for them to take actions. I see, money surpassed the authority of the princess huh? No wait, considering how high the pride of that brat, I think that it is not her who initiated this plan. Does that mean that the person who did it is not favoured by the people here? They are clearly reluctant to do this kind of thing. "Uwah, that was a foul play Ascella. Genib could not believe that it worked though" Genib shook her head. I looked at the others and saw Tania carressing the two sister's head with a gentle smile on her face. ""Tania-san..."" They muttered with dreamy gaze.
