" Rustle...Rustle!! "
Ben backed away as the sound drew nearer.
"Who's there? " Ben vigilantly traced, sound ready to react on time
From the shrub, something suddenly jumped out at him.
" Got you " Ben caught an unknown presence as he looked at it and immediately asked
" System what is this? "
[ Memo Rank 2 - a Rare docile monster. Usually kept as a pet. It can hide in shadows. ]
[Owner: Princess Sephia]
"So, it's a princess pet," Ben muttered.
Monsters were usually hunted for their body parts used in various trades, though a few docile ones were kept as pets. However, not all monsters were friendly, and when a monster ranked above 6 appeared, all countries allied to hunt it down. Even a horde of docile monsters, when enraged, could cause significant destruction.
A four-legged creature with four eyes and two tails Ben was holding it viewing it. After examining it properly Ben kept it on the ground it started licking its paw.
" No, no matter how I look at it other than those eyes and tail it will be almost similar to cats from Earth" Ben stated from his observation.
" Steps... "
"Coco" a melodious voice called.
" So, here you are Coco " a lady appeared bending and picking up Memo in her arms.
Ben stared at the beauty and because of her clothes, Ben could easily guess who she was. ' Princess Sephia, ' he whispered to himself.
Long-haired, wavy-haired, brunette in a white blouse, fancy blue dress.
" This humble servant, greets Princess Sephia " Ben bowed, he learned it from the old lady's advice.
" Lady Jen has left you are working in her place, but you look the same age as me " the princess sephia noted.
" Yes, it was Lady Valine who helped me get this job," Ben said taking the help of the valine to avoid trouble.
" Oh Valine, then there is no problem "
"What's your name, " Princess asked to get Familiar with him
It's not like princesses always meet a handsome man
'Should I fake it? , Na eventually she will know '
" BEN " he just, decided to keep it simple.
" Nice, name, Ha.. " she said with a soft laugh when suddenly she was interrupted
" Coco" Suddenly the cat in her hand jumps at Ben and sits near him
Seeing her pet betray her, the princess felt a pang of jealousy but hid it behind a smile. "Looks like it has taken a liking to you," she remarked, with a smile that can melt metal.
Ben bends and gently pets Coco
"Grumble...s" Ben's stomach growled, just as the princess was about to speak.
Valine appeared and said " Princess, everyone is looking for you in the hall "
"Alright, but first, Ben looks hungry. You can go to the servant's hall," the princess instructed before taking her leave with Memo.
Valine eyed Ben then took the princess along with Coco with her.
'Phew, almost had a heart attack. Why is everyone here so beautiful?' Ben thought.
" Dont they need to tell me where is this servant quarter "
' well don't need to know ' Ben with a smile rubbing his hands together and left the garden.
Ben had taken the risk to accept the mission not because he didn't want to die. But because in the novel along with the princess kidnapping event some other thing happened. The shards of the legendary ego weapon were stolen and reappeared in the end, only this was somehow able to tackle the invasion species and that was only a few shards of weapon.
Ben just thought what if one collected all those species then? it was a very risky decision to let it depend on the future because if it didn't work as thought then what? but all these were assumptions nobody knows the future, if somehow because of his involvement the future changes then all the advantages Ben has will lost all advantage.
Ben moves while hiding his presence, and somehow arrives in the hall. Perhaps sensing his presence an overwhelming presence erupted into the hall through the doors which were left wide open on the right corner.
Ben froze, thinking he was caught. He was ready to use his ability, but that would only attract more attention and ruin all plans.
However, he could feel something was there in the room. Curiosity is like a thirst in need of water making him tremble to take another step.
However, suddenly the heaviness disappeared from his body. Thinking everything was right Ben was about to move when suddenly a guard came and unluckily he saw Ben
" What are you doing " the guard reacted and reached near Ben pointing his sword at him
' I think today's luck is not good I take back what I said '
Ben quietly said raising his hand and making himself so he had no intention to harm " I was searching for servant hall "
" Why "
" Because I am hungry," In a weak voice, making himself look weak
" Dont wonder in Castel unless you want yourself hanged "
Guard was one of the viewers who saw Ben with Valine and was jealous that to gain her favor he left him unscathed by giving a warning.
who doesn't want to win the favor of the beautiful lady?
' I just got another life,' Ben thought
As he moved in the direction of the servant hall.
' Why didn't the author write a chapter on Castel Layout in detail? I would not have needed to search for it ' Ben grumbled
The author didn't provide much information about the castle interface and after the princess kidnapping event castle was not shown as it was destroyed. So, the Author never felt the need to do so.
Arriving in front of a large wooden door which was opened Ben went inside. He didn't waste much time and immediately grabbed food as much as possible. It was the first time eating the food made by humans. Since the day he arrived, he was eating the stay house food.
' hmm...,'
' it tastes like potato, though its color is different ' Ben thought while eating a green potato from his hand.
Suddenly, a group of people arrived, looking toward Ben and moving in his direction.
' Why am I getting chill '
