PERFECT REINCARNATION : Being Invincible in Another World-Chapter 39: WORLD WAR III

The Knightheart Duchy and some exaggerated reactions.

"Wait, I never got your name?" The line which started the issue.

"Oh my, because of the whole situation, I never asked yours either." She had replied politely, though not for long.

" I am Astraea Knightheart, First daughter of the Knightheart Duchy." She exclaimed with pride full in her chest.

Aurelion wanted to introduce himself at that moment, his luck favoured him and Stefan took the lead first.

"The Veiled Valkyrie" Stefan claimed, his face of awe and admiration.

The knight exhibited pride in his husky deep voice and stated that they call her by a different epithet which was The Silver Aegis.

Aurelion was clueless. Stefan extended his hand in him learning more about her and asked for his permission. Aurelion gave the green signal.

"The Knightheart Duchy, one of the only two Grand Duchy of Eternal Empire are known throughout the continent for their mastery in swordsmanship. They have produced the most amount of Aura Swordmasters in the whole continent."

"Following their Grand lineage, the Eldest Daughter of the duchy was given an epithet for her incredible contribution in swordsmanship at a young age by His Majesty." He explained.

"I see." Aurelion reacted.

Astraea Knightheart, then moved forward, extended her hand and asked for Aurelion’s name.

This also happened to be the first time where Aurelion was going to formally introduce himself using his full name and wanted to look good and impress her, hence the term Aura farming.

"I am AURELION AETERNUM VALERIUS VON ETERNAL." He proclaimed himself.

The knights started chatting by themselves, they glanced at the Royal Crest on the front of the carriage, which they had not noticed before. "See, that’s the Crest of Royalty." The thin voice knight pointed at the crest, showing it to the husky voice knight.

The Royal crest of Aeternum beared a golden lion in proud profile, set before a radiant eight-pointed sun and enclosed within an unbroken ring. The lion signified sovereign strength, the sun eternal authority, and the circle unending continuity. Together, they represented power refined by stability and a reign meant to endure beyond ages.

I KNOW, I KNOW. YOU GUYS MUST BE IMPRESSED BY GRAND DEMEANOR AND OP BACKING. HEHE, KEEP WORSHIPPING ME.

"Oh No. This is not good." The husky voice knight said to his comrade. "We must leave with young miss, right now." He added. The thin knight nodded but still asked "Is there really any need for that though, I don’t think she will make it that obvious, after all he is the Crown Prince."

The moment he said that, he got his answer within seconds.

"THE CROWN PRINCE?" Astraea Knightheart made a disgusted face.

HUH, DID I IMAGINE THAT OR IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED? THIS CUTIE SHOULD BE FLOWING A RIVER OF PRAISES TO ME RIGHT NOW, SO WHY IS SHE MAKING THAT FACE?

"You are the Crown Prince?" She asked with a hint of distaste.

"I am indeed the Crown Prince, anything wrong with that?" Aurelion replied.

"Huff, That explains why you only selected the two elven girls." She scoffed. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

I MEAN, WHO WOULDN’T WANT SOME ELF BADDIES BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?

The situation was getting more tensed and for Aurelion it was becoming harder to comprehend and react to it.

At that moment, Sally awakened, still in her human form. "Hey, What are you guys doing? I am hungry so, get in fast." She said while stretching her left hand and yawned.

The beautiful knight Astraea looked straight at her. She checked her out from top to bottom and then gazed back to Aurelion.

"Another woman? You disgust me." She said and left without looking back. The husky voice knight came in front and tried to conciliate the situation. "Ahh... Don’t worry, young master. Our young miss is just shy."

He tried to mend the situation, greeted them and bowed. Then he left and followed her along with the other knight.

The beautiful knight along with the other two knights, had alreadyshackled the slave traders while they were asking the slaves about their accommodations. They binded all the criminals from their feet and departed towards the Capital to report and imprison them. The four human slaves followed quietly behind the thin voice knight. She left without even bowing to the Crown Prince and acted as he was not there.

"Such insolence." Stefan scorned.

He turned to Aurelion. "Young master, I shall report this act of treason to his Majesty. You must ensure that the whole Knightheart Duchy pays the price for this insolence." He said with all seriousness.

DROP IT OLD MAN, YOU WANT TO START WORLD WAR III BECAUSE OF SUCH A MINOR ISSUE. THOUGH SERIOUSLY, WHAT WAS THAT REACTION?

"Calm down... It is fine, Stefan. He already apologized and she might have been feeling simply tired so, she did not maintain her composure maybe." Aurelion tried to calm Stefan.

"Anyway, Stefan. We should depart now too, it is already noon." Aurelion gazed his vision around and realized he forgot something important.

"Stefan, Where is Lyra?" Aurelion asked after realizing that she was no longer in sight.

"Wasn’t she with you, your highness? Forgive me but I was busy feeding the horses as I earlier reported to you." Stefan replied.

DAMN IT, IS SHE STILL TRYING TO KICK THAT SWEET CORN DWARF. I THOUGHT SHE WOULD JUST KEEP CIRCLING AROUND THIS PLACE.

"Ahh, Where did she go?" Aurelion said to himself. "What should I do now? I want to come back before evening and we still have not reached our destination." He added.

Aurelion turned to Stefan. "Stefan, let’s wait for some time here. Then, after a few minutes, we shall start looking for her." Sally who stood up only for a moment, went back inside and started getting impatient.

"Just as you wish, your highness. Though—"

"Though? Is there anything else for concern" Aurelion asked while interrupting Stefan in the middle of the sentence.

"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH THE SLAVES?" Stefan asked.
