Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Novel

The King let out a loud laugh and patted my head, kind of roughly causing me to frown. It felt like my hair was going to fall out! “Little Faith, if you go burning down noble’s houses, invite me. I am always up for a good lynching of wrongdoers!”

My mouth dropped to the floor in shock! Hey Mr. King, man! Why are you talking about lynching your own nobles!? But even if this King is somewhat weird, he is still a good man with the right kind of justice.  “Okay, that is beside the point. Now, please tell me. What is going on with this plan? How are they going to even begin executing it in the first place? Are they going to ware signs saying, ‘hey, come kidnap me’?”

“Hmmm… This is not a bad idea. I can even find out who the stupider noble is….” I watched as the King rubbed his chin and gave my wise remark a serious thought._-.

“Don’t even think about it!” Why do I feel like I am doing a one man act with the King!? Your Majesty, please spare me!

“Haha! You must like yelling!” The King let out another hearty laugh while I wished I could kick him a few times to take out the stress that was building up. I could only snort out my anger while the King continued:  “But no. They will be moving in with you in the new house.”

“Wait! Adel is one thing, but why is Prince Lance moving into the house too? There will be no one but girls living there.” I have never even held hands with a boy outside my own family. Why would I wish to live with one!? I am starting to think that maybe there was more to this mess than meets the eye. Let’s hope the loveometer stays below the red mark and never ascends into dangerous territory.  I mean, I have no choice but to accept this situation. It is not like I own the house in the first place, so whoever the King wishes to place there is not something I can control.

“It will be fine. While Lance can be an idiot at times and doesn’t know how to properly court a girl, he is not someone who would cross any lines that would cause a misunderstanding.”  Umm…. Does the King know that his son is an idiot? No, wait, he does know! He just called him that, so how does he know his son won’t cross that fine line? I guess I will be putting up barriers on all the girls’ doors.

I could only sigh and wave my right hand off handily while I held my head with the other. “Alright, alright, it is not like I can say no. Just please tell him that if he does anything that remotely seems perverted, I will burn his hair off and make him crab walk naked out in the streets of the capital.”

“Hahaha!” Sir Derek let out a laugh that echoed through the entire room. Sei was buckled over at the side, and even Sophie was giggling away at my words. As for the King…. Yeah, he was as well. His face was red, and he had tears in his eyes. I am starting to feel bad for Prince Lance.

But I guess it will not be too bad. I mean, I will be at the academy most of the day, so I will not have to deal with everything all day long. Not to mention I will be very busy with everything else I plan to do. I will be experimenting with magic, runic inscriptions, more magic, learning how to command armies, more magic, learning about ancient history, more magic…. Okay, so lots of magic. I had been thinking of modifying my mana shield so that it can be element based. So like, let’s say someone attacked me with lightning magic, I can make my mana shield be water based, which will disperse the electricity so that it can not be used as non direct damage against me. The same would go for other elements and maybe even be able to negate attacks instead of just absorbing them.

Mana shield has a lot of potential, and only because of how it works no one has ever really looked into it. It can be used for many more purposes other than just a self shield. I plan to in the future try to inscribe it into a pedant and see if I can set up a link to it with my mana so that it can always protect my loved ones. It may take a lot of trial and error, but hopefully, one day, I will be able to use this experimentation to expand the lives of others. Besides that, I also want to finally finish my fusion magic so that it is useful.

“Haha… Ahh! That would be a sight to see. I will be sure to warn him well.” The King replied while wiping his tears. Was it really that funny?

At any rate, the King’s idea was not a bad one now that I thought about it. “So you want me to protect both Adel and Prince Lance?”

“Mmm… You understood my meaning well. I know how powerful you are, so to cast the net with a big piece of bait, the safest place for them would be near you. Like your name, I have faith in your abilities. While I know this is dangerous, I want nothing more than to have this all end without anyone getting hurt.” The King replied. He was acting serious for once, and the gaze in his eyes showed his trust in me. Even if he did not ask me, I still would have done what he had asked. Adel, for one, is my best friend, while Prince Lance is her brother and my acquaintance.

“Then leave it to me. I planned to inscribe a few barriers anyway. As long as we can capture the one who is doing the kidnapping, I can get them to talk and bring the ones behind it to kneel in front of you to do as you see fit.” I gave a firm answer. It would not be hard to make someone talk.

“Then I will leave it to you.”
