Suddenly as I am walking, someone slapped me on my back.
"Raiden!! Go out with me!!"
That's voice... I glance at the girl and her blue eyes, pink hair, that's literally Cherry.
"Ah, Lady–"
"Don't 'lady' me!" She shouted at me puffing her cheeks. She's cute to be honest.
"Well, Cherry-sama, okay then, I'll go with you."
"That's my knight." She says with a smile on her face.
She then grab my hand and start leading me to stores after stores.
"Look, Look Raiden!!" She says as pointing her hand at the hair pin shop.
"I want one!!" Well that's remind me of a hairpin I gave to Elizabeth 3 years ago... And Elizabeth is getting engaged... Well, she's 18 so be it.
I saw a beautiful hair pin with Sakura flower on it.
"How much is this?" I ask the owner. She then looks at me with a smile.
"Ara~ that would be 3 bronze coins" well, that's cheap.
I give the store owner the hair pin and give it to Cherry. And she was happy.
"I will Cherish This Raiden!!" That's what you would say...
"You're a royal, are you fine with cheap hair pin like this?" I asked. And which makes her smile.
"As long as this is from you, I'll cherish this for my life." This word somehow makes me flustered. But I composed myself.
Cherry just smiled and then grab my hand again and walk in the city.
People would just stare at her and whisper each others.
"Hey, isn't that princess and her knight?" One guy whispered.
"Yeah, and she's the cutest girl in Ranmusia Kingdom" other guy replied.
I can clearly hear because of my sensitive hearing as a beast kin.
Suddenly, A group of guys chimes in with a sword.
They then proceed to grab Cherry from me.
"We will take the princess!!" They are truly shady.
"No, let go!!" Cherry resis them.
"You bit–" as one try to hit her, I quickly goes to combat mode. Suddenly,
Someone grab the hand stopping him from hitting Cherry.
"It's rude to hit a lady." This guy looks familiar...
"Eh, L-Lacrone-Sama!!!" It's a man with blonde hair like someone I know.
And then, the robbers started running like they are getting chased by a tiger.
"Are you okay? Princess?" He looks kind to be honest.
Cherry then quickly hugged me.
"Umm thank you for saving us" I thanks him before I bow him.
"Royal Knights shouldn't bow to lower classes." He says with a smile on his face.
As he was leaving I suddenly stops him.
"Umm–... What's your name mister?" I ask his name.
"Ah, my name is Lacrone Gleanford."
"Ah!" I was shocked and my jaw drop.
"You're Leon's brother?!!"
"Yes I am." He says.
That's explain it... So he's my another cousin?
And then he left waving at me. "See ya." He says before.
I then take Cherry back to palace and I went back to Granbell estate.
As I arrived I give a sigh and went to the house.
As soon as I arrived Emilia came with a smile on her face.
"Raiden, Raiden! I got a certificate for a magic university!!" She says with a smile on her face.
Damn… this girl is everywhere.
"Ah yes, I want to talk with gramps for something"
"Reinhard-sama?"
"Yes."
"Okay then." And she leads me to Reinhard and closes the door.
"Umm... Gramps..."
"What is it, lil boy?" He says as he puffed her cigar.
"I want to know about... Gleanford family."
I says with a serious grin on my face.
He then raise from his chair and stare at me.
"Well... Okay then." He finally agrees.
"Then, I will tell then..."
"Go on gramps."
"Gleanford family have two races... Beast kin and human."
"They come from same ancestor"
"But their races are different."
"Beast kins are usually stronger than humans and Gleanford's beast kins are way stronger than humans."
I see.
"Beast kins are usually experts in combat but not in magic skills... But you're different."
"What do you mean..."
"You have the potential to rise higher than legends, trust me."
"Gleanford's beast kins are usually travellers and adventurers.
That's interesting.
"As much as that Gleanford family held a fear among people."
So that's made my entire beast kin village to fall?
"Gleanford's people are cunning."
"They can use powers like 「Beast mode」"
"Which strengthen your body and transform into some kin."
Now you mentioned it...
Yeah... I can do those...
"That's all I know."
"Well then, thanks for the information."
I says before leaving.
"Strongest huh?..."
