Former village girl and the Flag Crusher Prince

Chapter 03 Jump kick

I was gobsmacked.

The court courtyard is densely overgrown with tall trees and gra.s.s, and the sounds of animals can be heard from everywhere.

A brightly patterned bird dropped its p.o.o.p on my shoulder as I froze, unable to move.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Both my father and stepmother are frozen in place, unable to swallow the current situation.

Even my sister-in-law looked up at His Highness Lord Lotus, who was soaring through the air with her smirk gone.

His Highness was happily making his way across the jungle with the vines hanging high in the sky.

Before jumping to the next vine, he realized we were there and said,

"Oh!" He said with a happy voice.

"The Duke of ElSavage have arrived!　It doesn't hurt, come closer. This time, it is a rude scheme. Let's play in the great outdoors with the rest."

I think the second half was directed at us. Hanging on a vine, His Highness shifted his gaze from my father to me and my sister-in-law.

As I was unable to say anything on the spur of the moment, Elise opened her mouth to say with her usual smile...

"With all due respect, Your Highness. My father told me that it was a tea party?　It's like a wild man's game."

My father and stepmother turned blue at what could be taken as an insult.

Fortunately, His Highness Lotus didn't seem to be in a bad mood, and he said, "Huh?" He squinted his eyes in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"What are you talking about? I said I would choose a fiancée, but I didn't say a word in the invitation that I would hold a tea party. Wasn't it your father who took the liberty of making the mistake?"

At His Highness words, Elise wordlessly cast a glance at her father.

The father made his shoulders jump with a bob and then apologized to his daughter in a shaky voice.

"Sorry, I'm sorry. Elise. It's true that the invitation only said that they were going to choose a fiancé, but I didn't think that this was going on in the courtyard..."

My father was clearly terrified of Elise. Isn't it strange to be afraid of his own daughter, no matter how cute she is?

It's a great way to make sure that you're getting the best out of it.

"Hmm, that's it. Elise. If you have a grudge against me, go after me. If you can hold those vines, of course."

His Highness says that much and then jumps from vine to vine again and disappears from in front of us.

Then, Elise became blatantly unhappy. The stepmother started begging to her.

"E- Elise. Please. You need to lighten up. I'll buy you a dress and jewelry and whatever else you want.

Come on, come on!　Look, Elise. There's a silly little lady over there!　She's so muddy and- Oh!How funny! Hah"

My stepmother pointed to the front of my left, there was certainly a girl there, about my age, who had fallen down and was crying.

The ground there must be muddy. Instead of a dress, his head is covered in mud and his knees are sc.r.a.ped.

She frowned thoughtfully at my stepmother laughing at her tears, so my father and sister-in-law, who were in sync with her.

"Oh, c.r.a.p. I hate it. People like this."

I turned my back to them and went to the girl who have fallen over again.

Something is being said behind me, but I ignore it, careful of the muddy ground, I called out to the girl.

"Are you okay?"

I reached out my hand and she held it in surprise but fearfully, I pull the girl to her feet and check on her injuries as she stands up.

"Does your knee hurt?"

The girl giggled and nodded, when I try to take her to the infirmary, she pulls my arm and holds me back.

"...the dress, my mother picked it out for me."

Then he began to whisper, as if she were holding back a sob.

"My mother said ~ Since you'll be in front of His Highness, let's dress cute ~ My family is too poor to afford it but my father and mother bought me a new dress. He said it's a reward for the hard work I usually do. I'm about to grow up, so I might not be able to wear it ever again... and yet he bought it for me..."

The girl grips my ear tightly.

"And now... It's all muddy--" *sob* *sob*

When she finished, she started crying like a baby.

When I gently let go of the girl's hand, she looked horrified and apologized.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Your clothes are dirty because of me..."

"I don't care about the mud."

I gently stop the hand of the girl that was trying to clean my dress while she keep apologizing.

"There are more things that p.i.s.s me off than that."

I looked around, making sure there were vines hanging from the heavens everywhere, I was reminded of His Highness' words earlier.

"If you have a grudge against me, you'll have to catch me"

I let go of the girl's hand and grabbed the vines that were right beside me.

"Let's do it, shall we?"

"Noooooo!　Lady Azalea!　Please don't!　It's dangerous..."

The girl - Lilia, who followed me, shook her head desperately on the ground, but I didn't care and jumped to the next vine.

The feeling of floating for a moment, then being pulled to the ground.

Borrowing its movement, the vines moved fast and before the momentum dies, I jump again to the next vine.

The vines I'm grabbing now are hanging quite high up in the sky, and there's no way I'd be able to stop myself if I fell from there.

It would be no wonder that Lilia screamed terrified like that to my idea.

But even though I thought I was walking a tightrope, I looked around and looked for His Highness Lotus.

I was angry for the first time in a long time, I wouldn't be happy without slapping, at least, that stupid Prince.

"Too insane. It may have been a display of eccentricity, but it's unreasonable to expect the courtyard of the court to be a jungle."

Hanging from the vines and looking down at the ground, there was the Lady and her family besides us.

They were all dressed in formal attire or similar, and they all looked confused.

It's expected, they were invited to the court, it is normal to come dressed in a way that is not rude.

In addition, to chose a fiancée for the Crown Prince.

Even if it's not specified on the invitation, if the place is designated as a courtyard, everybody imagined a style of tea party or vals.

It's no wonder she's so spirited about her outfit, if only there was some kind of dress code, She wouldn't have been hurt like Lilia was.

"Oh, ****! Hate- I hate it. He's the type of person who doesn't care about his subjects!"

As I remembered and resented a lot of things from my past, I saw a glimpse of red hair in my vision.

I hurriedly changed direction in that direction, this time, the fiery red-haired figure came into clear view.

I grinned involuntarily as I was sure he was the one I was looking for.

"I found you"

I swung my body loudly, adding more movement streght to the vines.

His Highness Lotus was hanging on the branch of a large tree with his legs hooked in a vine.

He doesn't seem to be aware of me being diagonally up in the air, he paused in his upside down position and paused.

"Mmm, soooo boring"

I remembered the sight of Lilia crying at that remark, and before I could even think of anything profane to say, my body moved.

When the movement was at its strongest, she let go of the vines and pinned her right leg out, aiming for His Highness's abdomen.

To His Highness, who still looked sleepy, I shouted

"Your Highness!　I'm ready!"

His Highness Lotus looked up at me in astonishment at a call that sounded like an a.s.sa.s.sin from somewhere.

"Huh."

I realized that I had done something wrong as I executed a jumping kick at him with a dumbfounded expression on His Highness's face.

Oh. I don't know what to do.

Landing, I didn't think anything of it.

It's too late to regret it. The flow of time is common to everyone.

...

I hit His Highness with a jumping kick, and I fell to the ground with him.
