Chereads / Reincarnated Wehraboo's Revenge / Chapter 14 - Backfire

Chapter 14 - Backfire

The prince got down from the carriage. He was wearing a bright white shirt and pants with black boots. His uniforms had all types of medals hanging from the shirt. There was a black cape hanging behind his shirt. "Man, even Goering would be ashamed of this boy." Thought Erika to herself. Her eyes glowed. She had a light smile on her face. "I think it'll be easier to piss this one off. Maybe I will not need my 'Wehrmacht' after all." Erika thought to herself. She was happy her eyes were lit. She was excited and couldn't stand still. But her happiness wasn't to last. "Hey all of you, listen I don't want to stay even a second in this backward place. If my father hadn't ordered it, I wouldn't have come here. So here is the engagement agreement." The prince looked at his attendant and signaled him. "Whoever is my future fiancé, just sign it and return it back. I won't stay here for a second." The attendant took a piece of paper and headed towards Erika and her mother. Just as the attendant was about to reach Erika to sign the agreement, she cried out. "Impossible, I am the daughter of a first-class duke. I will not take the agreement from the hands of a simple peasant." Erika grinned while also being a bit sorry. "Sorry sir attendant I know it is hard for you to cope with this brat of a prince but it is for my sake. I have to save myself and my family." Erika thought to herself and continued. "I don't care who you are but if you want my sign on anything you better bring it yourself." Erika retorted. Erika's mother was standing right beside her all this time. But she was confused by the prince and her daughter's attitude. Before she could say something, the prince cried out aloud, "Are you going to defy my father's words? I will have you know that whoever you are, you are not as powerful as the King. And if you don't follow through with his orders your backward territory will be destroyed." To Erika, this prince seemed not only prideful but also a braindead. He was hellbent on the idea that no one ca defy him or his father. And any sort of disobedience will be met with repercussions. Erika's mother now had to take control over the situation. "My prince please excuse my daughter for her rudeness, I will talk her through." "Sigh.... you backward and uneducated people simply don't understand facts do you? I have no time for that. I am the future king of this country and no one can defy me or my father. Unlike you I don't have any time waste on idle chitchat. Sign the agreement and I will not wait here." The prince said angrily as he stood with his hands closed on his chest. Things have backfired for Erika. This brat cannot think of any thing himself and certainly lacks the slightest of courtesy for the elders. "How much has his father spoiled him?" Erika thought to herself. But she was furious with the prince's attitude, specially towards her mother. "Hey..." Erika was about to retort violently but her mother interrupted her. In a said hastily "Don't worry your highness my daughter will send you the signed agreement later. You can leave first." This was her bid to get more time to think things through and talk to Erika's father about this. "I want it signed right now or there'll be consequences." The prince retorted. She looked at Erika and knew she was furious and will do something unnecessary but she had to stop her. Even though she herself was afraid what would come next, she thought that the prince was just being a spoiled child and would change as he grew up. So she urged Erika that she should sign the agreement. "Uh, I thought since the prince was nice in the game he would be nice here too. Maybe something has changed or maybe he was like that in the beginning and changed after growing up? But prince charming from the game and this brat are so much different. Maybe he will change. But for now I can't do anything. I or even my father aren't able to go against the kingdom yet. I must speed things up." The attendant handed over the agreement to Erika and she signed it under the pressure of her mother. Erika looked at the agreement and read it carefully. It was written in golden later and had the royal seal. The agreement was simple and precise. It didn't contain anything outrageous as Erika thought after seeing the prince's attitude. Out of curiosity she asked the prince, "Your highness did you read the agreement?" "Hah... you women are all stupid, do you think I the prince has the time to read such trivial papers?" Prince laughed. "Or maybe you don't know how to read." Erika thought but didn't ponder over it. Her mother urged her to sign it quickly. Once the signing was done and the paper was returned, the prince without even speaking a word, got into his carriage and left.

Everyone present sighed a relief. After this commotion everyone went inside the house. "Listen Erika, I know you were frustrated with the prince's attitude but still you must compose yourself." The atmosphere was a bit heavy and her tone was serious. she wanted to talk with her daughter. "He is only 12 years old. Don't worry too much I will talk to your father about what the prince today. I believe he can talk to the king about it." "If that brat is 12 years old, I am only 10." Erika retorted. She was extremely frustrated with prince and although she was actually 16 as a high schooler but still brought up her age. Though she felt embarrassed for what she only perceived to be half-true. "But you are so much better, then him. You always act calm and calculated and don't lose composer. I believe that the prince will also grow up. And I hope that you won't call him a brat in front of other's will you?" She asked with a smile of love. "Don't worry mother I am well aware of that." Erika laughed. Her mother patted her head. "Now go and rest. I will write a letter to your father about what happened today." With this Erika was about to leave the room. She was self-reflecting. "Sorry mother, I know I have made things harder for you." She said to her mother. "Don't worry dear. It is not your fault. You have nothing to apologise for. Now go and rest." "Yes, mother."

With this Erika left the room. "I can't rest now mother." She thought as she walked towards the castle's backyard. "I have to speed things up so as to be prepared for any eventuality." She couldn't trust the prince. "But to expand my Wehrmacht I need more money. I will ask Emil and Bauer about it. I think they can come up with something." There was a newfound determination inside her. She was extremely excited and couldn't wait to talk to them. "Yes, I am a transmigrated villainess and I will not go down to the game path. Me and my Wehrmacht, together I will overcome every challenge." Erika thought and went to the backyard.
