Chapter 1: Encounter Again
"Is that him?" Hamaru frowned slightly, and used his mental power to perceive everything that was happening on the street in the distance.
She squinted slightly, as if thinking about something, leaning against the window, the sunlight pouring through the glass on the marble floor, very bright.
The boy in her perception was being beaten by a group of people, and there was a crowd of onlookers next to him, but no one went to help him. They could even say a little schadenfreude, because the boy who was beaten was a slave, a man who had been reduced to slavery by the nobility.
"Whew~, I'm still distressed after so long." Ye Maru slowly closed his eyes, his head slightly tilted, feeling the sunlight coming in through the window, trying in vain to wrap his trembling heart with this golden warmth, and wrap the distress that he shouldn't have.
She's been in it for a while, and it's an alternate time, similar to the countries of medieval Europe. The feudal hierarchy was strict, but different. The traditional feudal hierarchy of medieval Europe was dominated by lords and lords. And this country is more similar to the hierarchical slave ownership aristocracy of ancient Greece, but it belongs to the feudal system, and slavery cannot have such a strong productive force. Here the people of the country were divided into three classes: nobles, commoners, slaves. The nobility enjoyed great powers, and commoners and slaves had to obey the orders of the nobility (the nobility also had a hierarchy, one to five:
Rulers of the first class of countries: kings and their children
Princes and nobles of the second class
In the third class, most of them are the founding fathers of the country and their descendants, and a small number are distant princes
A small number of fourth-class ministers and officials are down-and-out princes
Fifth-class national soldiers (knights belong to fourth-class nobles, and some special royal families can reach third-class nobles), nobles who are promoted from commoners with outstanding contributions, and a small number of down-and-out nobles)
Commoners were responsible for paying taxes to the nobility, providing services. Can be engaged in commercial, agricultural, and handicraft industries
Slaves are the lowest level of this society, doing the most tiring and dirty work, without any pay. The treatment is extremely poor, and people are oppressed and discriminated against.
Here, magic exists, but only direct blood relatives of the royal family can be granted this ability.
Hamaru had walked through one night a few years ago, and through fragmentary memories and observations around her, she realized that she might be a nobleman of a special status: an arrogant and unreasonable princess named Aglaia (the goddess of radiance in ancient Greece, the embodiment of grace, grace, and beauty). The father in my memory is far away, and my father has always been busy, dealing with various things every day... Because of the regulations: the royal family under the age of 15 is required to live alone in the outer city in order to cultivate their own willpower. So her father rarely came, and she was in contact with her father more by letters... But Hamaru can still feel his father's love, and he is waiting for her return...
It was also that night that she witnessed the murder of the boy's parents, and she was in the attic opposite, and she was very excited when she first came in, recalling the broken and messy memories in her mind, and she was trying to release her mental power for the first time. It was this time that her spirit was released, and she pulled her spiritual power to move to the small villa opposite. She "saw" a warm and harmonious couple eating at the table, it was the Aite family (a down-and-out nobleman), and the picture was so beautiful. But all of a sudden, they were foaming at the mouth, and their eyes were about to fall out. Soon they began to choke themselves uncontrollably...... And just then, their son entered, hesitating a little late, and missing the poison in his supper. He hugged the delicate doll in his hand tightly, watching this scene in horror, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak. By the time he reacted, his parents were already ...... A wave of sadness surged him, and he pounced on the couple, hugging the still warm body, and crying heartbreakingly.
Ahh.....hhh Ye Maru was about to cry in fright, how could I, a four-good boy, see such a thing Σ ( ゚ロ ゚; What should I do at this time, call the police!? Hit 120!? But where do I go to find the Cavaliers patrolling at this time? There are no 120 ..... here either Ahh
Hamaru looked at the boy and his parents, and sadness suddenly welled up in his heart. (((̨̡ ̅᷄ᗣ ̅᷅)̧̢)) How uncomfortable is this, ahh......h Hurry up, I've got to help them!!
Hamaru collected his mental strength, kicked her calves, picked up the corners of her skirt (pajamas) and ran down the attic, wanting to go to the opposite side. But as soon as he came down, he was discovered by the housekeeper, and the housekeeper Ai Seli bowed humbly to Ye Maru, "Your Highness, it's late at night, please rest early, you just came down from the attic." Ye Maru was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had secretly run to the attic. (The rules of the royal family are stricter) So, Hamaru was driven back to the room. But by this time she had no energy to release her senses, so she had to lie on the window and look down anxiously, trying to see the patrol calling for help.
At this time, Ye Maru saw a team of knights with 14 guards, all in beige guard uniforms, neatly aligned. "A knight of the Ari family?" She saw that the leading knight was from the Ari family, whom she had seen at her birthday party, and was a very snobbish. They were moving in an orderly manner towards the boy's house. "So late, going to someone else's house if you have nothing to do? Oops!! ......" Hamaru looked at it as if it was not a coincidence, but more like a long-planned act. She could even smell a strong sense of intrigue. A chill rushed up from behind, "How exciting it is when you just pass through..."
Ye Maru didn't care so much, such a cute brother, crying so much... How could she bear it....
She opened the door and shouted, "Someone! Call the guards and follow me!! ”
Ye Maru ran downstairs, waved to the guards, ignored her three seven twenty-one, and ran to the opposite side. "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's already late at night, you can't go out!" The anxious voice of the housekeeper came from the side.
"You're a princess? Am I a princess? Will I listen to you? I am the most arrogant and unreasonable princess in history!! Let me go! Ye Maru wanted to ignore her, so he ran away and responded loudly.
"Huhuhu...... Obviously it looks quite close, why am I so tired from running? My little manor is too big? Hamaru was already out of breath, and the guards behind him were also following.
By the time she ran to the other side, the Ari family guards had already arrived at the restaurant. They were holding down the boy, whose eyes were already red, and he was clutching the doll tightly and staring at the knight who was leading the group. At a young age, his eyes flashed with hatred.
"Stop!!" A coquettish shout.
