It had been two years since you reincarnated, And You hadn't met any of the Love interests yet, however, Today you were going to meet the main lead, Crown prince of aurora, Yishai King Ahuv.
But you weren't really interested in that.
All you wanted was to go to the big library they had in the palace of aurora.
And maybe you also wanted to meet the princess Lara Wellington Ahuv...
But, you don't have time to think about those pointless things, So you quickly got into the bath, finished getting bathed by the maids and got fully clothed.
You wore a short sleeved F/C wavy dress, And some [Shoe choice] shoes.
"Hm.. This is alright" You told your personal maid, Clara, Who was doing your hair.
"Young mistress, If you don't mind.. May this lowly maid ask you a question?" She asked, and you nodded, "Go on."
"Well... This lowly maid would like to ask if the young Mistress is interested in the crown prince.." she asked you.
"I believe that I do not, As I have never met this crown prince in my twelve years of living and if I did, I have forgotten.
And I am but a child, so I am not yet interested in elderly affairs such as marriage." You concluded.
The maid sweatdropped, 'But you already act so mature, you could already take over the entire dukedom if you wish..' she thought as she watched you stand up.
"I thank you for attending my needs as of now, so please, take these coins as a gift" you smiled.
The maids face paled, "I- Young mistress! Is this not too much for this lowly maid?" She asked.
"Oh, Ofcourse not, But if you would like, I can give you more?" You questioned, but she simply shook her head and took the money.
"Thank you, Young mistress for giving this lowly maid a gift." She thanked, and you just nodded in acknowledgement.
"Well then, I will be on my way." You stated as you left the room and started walking towards the carriage.
"Father, Will I be allowed to enter the palace library?" You asked for the umpteenth time.
He just shook his head but then said, "However, if you wish, You can train in the imperial training grounds with the imperial knights." He said.
It wasn't a surprise that you were allowed, Because the Duke was a general, He lead thousands of knights, and he himself was once considered the personal knight of the king.
So you just nodded and looked out the window.
'Is that a bird trying to eat a dog??'

You finally reached the imperial palace of aurora, and you looked up in bemusement.
'This is the palace?' You thought, as you started walking up to the entrance.
Soon, you reached the main hall..
'Why is this so extra? My eyes hurt from the amount of gold there is...' You thought as you silently walked in.
Then, You and your parents bowed to the imperial family.
"Greetings to the Imperial King of aurora, Menhem Ronni Ahuv, The Imperial Queen of aurora, Sara Dori Ahuv, The crown prince of aurora, Yishai King Ahuv, The imperial Princess of aurora, Lara Wellington Ahuv, And the imperial Prince of Aurora, Yossi Leonne Ahuv." You said the full greeting as you kept your head down.
The king looked at your father happily, "Oh my friend! There is no need to bow, Please! Rise!" He excitedly announced.
"Your daughter has improved in etiquette, Look how much she's grown! Last time I saw her, she was throwing a tantrum-" and you stopped listening at that point.
Instead, You opted to talk to Lara, The Princess.
"Good afternoon, Your highness." You said as she stared at you happily.
"Hello! My name is Lara Wellington.. Oh, but you must know already, let me introduce you to my brothers!" She said loudly.
"You probably know yishai very well already, so I'll just introduce you to yo-" you cut her off by saying, "Apologies, Your highness. However, I do not recognize the crown prince yishai king ahuv in any way, for I only recognize his name." You stated.
She had a look of surprise on her face, but she quickly shook it off and said "Oh! That's fine.. I can just introduce both of them!" Then she went off into a ramble about their likes,dislikes, and all of the sorts.
Then, she suddenly stopped.
"What is it, your highness?" You asked her , But she simply replied with a, "You should tell us what you like!"
So then, you told her, "I like swordsmanship and martial arts, I also like art in general. Hm.. I also like reading and writing stories." You concluded , then, both of the princes said at the same time, "You like reading/swordsmanship??"
You nodded, But you also repeated your father's words.
"I am not allowed in the imperial library, however, I am allowed in the imperial training grounds, but I will look forward to the day I can read with you, your highness" you told the second prince.
"Ofcourse.." He shyly said as he looked away, blushing a bit because it was his first time conversing with a female who wasn't a part of his family.
"Then, Lets spar!" The crown prince cheerfully said.
You nodded, then you soon reached the training grounds.
You both went inside the circle, and the coach started counting down.
"10.."
You put on a fighting stance, clutching the sword on your hand.
"9.."
The crown prince stared at you seriously, wanting to experience your talents first hand.
"8.."
You breathed in, ready to fight.
"7.."
He readied his magic to fight.
"6.."
You absorbed the magical energy inside of the grounds.
"5.."
He concentrated on his earth magic.
"4.."
The tension was so thick that a knife could cut it...
"3.."
Almost...
"2.."
He tensed..
"1!"
You launched water at him as a distraction, then tried kicking him, but he deflected the attack and you quickly landed on your feet.
He sent a couple of rocks in your direction, but you easily broke them with raw strength.
His eyes widened, you were so strong.
You sent light magic his way, temporarily blinding him, but he deflected your fire magic with wind magic, and quickly got vines to support him.
You smirked, and enchanted the vines with your light magic.
Then, you used the vines against him to trap him, Then grabbed your sword, pointed it at his neck and announced, "Checkmate."
Then, you freed him.
The imperial knights were shaken by your display of raw strength and magic.
You surely were very powerful.
Then you said, "Anyone else wanna go against me?" They all shook their heads.
The crown prince, even at a young age, was very powerful.
And with his magic, everyone thought that he was impossible to beat.
But now, The daughter of a Highly respected General comes in and beats him without even trying?
Hell no, they would be beaten too quickly, and that would take a toll on their pride.

"You were so good out there! You were like whish! Woosh! Bam bam!" Lara giggled, but her brothers just deadpanned at her childish acts.
"Thank you, Princess Lara, You flatter me" You smiled politely.
"Say, F/N, Would you like to be my personal knight?" Lara questioned, But her brothers just stared at her in shock.
A female knight wasn't common, but was very much real.
However, she must prove herself worthy by lots of tests and traps set up by the king himself.
So they were pretty shocked by her exclamation.

"My my, it was a very long day, don't you think, my dear?" The duchess asked the Duke.
"Ofcourse, but I'm proud of our little angel right here, she really proved herself to be able to serve the Inperial family." He complimented.
"Why ofcourse." She chuckled.
And you couldn't help but grin.
It was just the beginning, and you've already made so much progress..
[Only For you°~]
