The Princess and Her Servant

“Well... She’ll definitely want to wander off for a bit.”The creature had no face, but somehow Jo knew he was smiling when he said it.“She will come back if she senses your presence, right?” Michael asked as he put the glass dome, which he had closed again, onto the dining table.Maybe it was just Jo’s imagination, but Michael looked different now. His aura no longer exuded a father who thought about his daughter to the point of exhaustion. Michael was like... a genius with a cold personality.“Of course. The princess will come looking for me.”“What creature are you?” Sarah, Jo didn’t know what was wrong with her mouth, asking questions as if it was a question-and-answer session at school.The creature turned, or so it seemed, to Sarah. Then the creature chuckled. Yes, he chuckled, and it sounded creepy.“Forgive me for not introducing myself first.”

Reunion

“So... What’s your name?” Jo ventured to start the conversation. It wasn’t easy dealing with a faceless creature like Servant. Jo, Nero, Sarah, and Servant change places after Michael sends them off the table. The four of them were now sitting in the living room, and the atmosphere was strange because they were all silent. Jo and Sarah sat on the sofa. Nero stood by the window, looking out occasionally. “Servant,” replied Servant. He said it as if everything was clear. Jo parroted, “Servant?” “Yes.” “But Servant is a nickname, not a name. When you serve someone, you are called a servant. Not that your name is Servant.” Sarah moved her hands while explaining. She looked exasperated, and Jo couldn’t blame her. “Princess Lanaya always calls me Servant. It’s been like that since she was little.” “You’re her age?” “No. I’m older.” “Well, that means before becoming a servant of Princess Lanaya, you had

Slipped Out

Gemma sat stunned on the living room sofa. Everyone surrounded her. They stared and kept their distance as if Gemma might explode at any moment.Gemma’s mind was a mess. The last time she remembered fighting the Draconians in this house, and after that, everything was dark.Gemma thought she had passed out at that moment, but she didn’t. She knew she was conscious, and she was in endless darkness.Gemma had been fixating her gaze on both of her palms. The terrible burn had completely disappeared. There’s not even a trace of it.“There’s someone else in my body?” Gemma muttered, wondering who to ask.Gemma woke up lying on the floor, her body covered in vomit. Jo helped her up, took her to the bathroom to clean herself, changed clothes, and carried her back to the living room.There, Gemma’s attention immediately focused on shards of light that resembled a fully human form. From Jo’s explanation

Everybody Changes

“Once again!!”Jonah’s scream boomed, making Gemma’s heart skip a beat. Gemma was only ten, but Jonah treated her as if she were an Archturian warrior.“If you want to become an Archturian, you must train like a true Archturian!!”Gemma tried to reach for the small knife that had been thrown a few feet from where she was standing. Her hands and feet were shaking with pain. Gemma bit her lip in an attempt to keep the tears from falling. As her hand grabbed the knife hilt, Jonah started screaming again.“Jonathan, attack her!!”“But, Dad—”Jonah glared, his face awful. “You dare to argue??”Jo didn’t want to retaliate against his father’s words, so he immediately attacked Gemma with a knife. Gemma could only dodge and dodge. Her body was too stiff and afraid to counterattack.Until finally, Jo brought down Gemma once again. Jo’s knife

Memories

The long-awaited day arrives. The day Gemma will receive the announcement that she must leave this city and live a proud life as an Archturian.Gemma did all the selection tests flawlessly. Even on her last day, she received many praises for her fluid fighting style and decisive moves.Gemma opened the mailbox, trying not to squeal with joy when she saw a white envelope with The Arc’s emblem emblazoned on it.Gemma took it, impatient enough to open it in the house. She sat on the steps in front of the door, tore the envelope hastily, and began to read its contents.Gemma skimmed through the opening sentences at the beginning and immediately looked at the score table. All of her scores were near perfect, and she became the third-ranked winner in Archturian selection history. Gemma couldn’t hide her grin as she read that. She was only one rank below Jo.Gemma continued reading, looking for the word that she was accepted, but couldn’

Let's Go Back

“Not bad for an hour of training.”Gemma curled her lips downwards and nodded, trying to imitate the style of Jonah when he was her mentor. Looks arrogant but also amazed at the same time.Moonla and Fro, the names of the girl and the boy, looked in disbelief at the throwing knives that were firmly stuck to the wooden stake. Fro turned his head back and forth at the knife and at Gemma.“I’ve been practicing for a week, but the knife isn’t stuck anywhere at all.”“It all depends on the stance and the swing of your arm. Lack of strength and the knife will not reach the target, too much force, the knife will be thrown over the target, or stray somewhere else.”Gemma walked over and picked up the silver throwing knife. She turned around and was restrained when Moonla asked a question.“Are you an Archturian?”Gemma was silent. The emptiness in her heart that had disappeared becau

Kick First, Ask Later

Nero, Sarah, and Jonah hold Heros with Alfhild, while Jo guards the exit. Without saying anything, Gemma threw her best shot at Heros’ face. Gemma had been wanting to do this for a long time.Gemma didn’t expect that Heros could dodge her attacks so fast. Heros ducked and tripped over Gemma’s leg, making Gemma nearly fall to her knees. But Gemma didn’t lose that easily.There was a gunshot. Sarah’s Alfhild almost hit Heros’ arm, but Heros could dodge again. All this time Gemma had always judged Heros as someone who couldn’t fight, but it turned out that she was wrong.Heros jumped over the railing, then he shouted, “Wait a minute! Wait a minute!!”But who wants to wait?Jo climbed the stairs in one big stride, then threw a kick with both hands on the banister for support. Heros jumped, and he plunged back down to the floor.Heros doesn’t know, and Gemma doesn’t know since when

The Act of Patience

One middle-aged man, one super old man with delayed aging, two good fighter women, two handsome soldiers, and a fugitive who also happened to be handsome, though with bruised cheeks and a few broken and missing teeth.They sat around the dining table in Michael’s cramped house. Their elbows and knees were close together. Sometimes they had to rub against each other. Their long legs, except for Gemma’s, bumped against each other under the table.After Servant’s problem had been resolved, for a while, they now moved on to discuss a more important issue: the series of events at Elenio.From the initial conversation, Gemma concluded that the tragedy at King’s Door and the explosion at Fiend last night were a planned series.That conclusion made a question pop up in Gemma’s mind. What division are Jonah, Nero, and Sarah from?“Before we continue. There is one thing that I must clarify here.”Gemma blinked

Mind Over Matter - 1

Waiting and being patient are two things that make Gemma itch. Maybe she’s allergic to those two actions. Then Servant appeared and offered an interesting idea.Gemma was lying on the cramped bed in her room. She still couldn’t face her father without her emotions overflowing. So, after a silent breakfast, Gemma cleaned up her own plate and rushed to her room.Not long after, Servant knocked on the door and entered. Gemma was still not used to this Servant form. Repeatedly, Gemma felt like she had a heart attack because she saw Heros in front of her.“Based on your radiance of energy, I can sense that you are a formidable fighter. It would be even more extraordinary if you could combine your powers with Princess Lanaya’s.”Without further ado, Servant explained a theory that made Gemma get up from the bed.“How’s that possible?” Gemma’s enthusiasm crept up from her question. Or maybe it’s

Mind Over Matter - 2

Servant tried to ignore what Gemma was doing. He felt pain just by seeing how supple the tiny body that held his master’s soul was.“Based on our last battle, there were quite several humans fighting against us. And even though I’m allowed to injure humans, the princess is not allowed to do so. So, in anticipation of this happening again, it would be nice if both souls were ready for battle. “Gemma finished stretching, which made Servant breathe a sigh of relief, then Gemma asked one last question.“You can easily enter a human body without causing any damage. How is that possible?”“I told you before, I found this body shortly after the soul inside was released. This body is just a shell, and when its owner leaves, I put it on. But I can only do what I do on bodies that have just died.”“Why not find a recently dead body for Princess Lanaya’s soul?”“The princess&rsquo
