Mage apprentice( Volume 2 Chapter 2)

What there is no princess is the Woodgreen royal family but I remember clearly that Christina introduced herself as the princess of the Woodgreen elven kingdom and her status also showed the same so why did Rushal say there is no princess in the elven kingdom. Is this mystery a part of a grand scheme.

Rushal-(" The war that had been going on for so many years is now finally appearing to be over, with the holy saint leading the holy army even the royal army can't hold a candle against that")

Valor-(" The holy army serves under the king, right?")

Rushal-(" People not from this country could misinterpret it like that but the holy army comes under the jurisdiction of the church and more specifically under the Cardinal Pope Egbert von Peirce.")

so Elene led the holy army which was part of the church forces but why did the church attack the Woodgreen kingdom, what benefit will defeating the Woodgreen kingdom bring to them. Wasn't Elene taken by the knights of Linval kingdom so why was she in the holy army, if she was taken by the Linval kingdom knights so she should be in the royal army? She was an Atheist on Earth so how can be a holy saint in this world and what in the world did the Church Worship to justify the waging of war, was it something like the holy crusades that transpired back on Earth. While I was busy thinking about all the possible reasons Rushal continued

Rushal - (" My daughter was blessed with the Mana and she also received some training from the Village chief who at one time served the feudal Lord as a mage, He told me that my daughter has potential to become a splendid mage and recommended me to enter her in the Magicia Academy in the royal capital but I have to tend to my shop in the Post town So I was going to hire some adventures to escort her to the capital I was hesitant to do so as I heard that the Adventures and mercenaries were a rowdy mess but after seeing you guys I am relieved I had already called with your partner I hope you will escort my daughter to the capital ")

Too much information to process was the only thing that I can say. The whole story of her daughter was good and fine but the job of escorting her was different you may think that it would be a start of an adventure with a party going hand in hand to the royal capital but it was not as that as even an increase of a single person can lead to the breaking of the party and lead to casualties we didn't know the battle capability of Rachel and even didn't know that can she even fight in the first place. she would significantly increase our travel time if she was slow and if she couldn't fight we would have to defend her all the time and the most important thing was the time I could see flirting with Christina would also decrease. As I was thinking all that Rushal got worried after seeing me lost on deep thought.

Rushal - (" Don't worry I will also reward you for this job and both of you can stay in my house in the post town till all the essential things are done and my daughter gets ready for the journey, I will also pay for your travel expenses")

Valor("Deal")

you guys asking what about the party composition and safety stuff but let me give you a straight answer can a deal more favourable than this even occur. We get a house, to live, we get to eat free food and we even get to travel to the royal capital without even spending a single coin and we also get money to spend after reaching the royal capital.

We kept moving till the two suns vanished from the sky and the sky was filled with a giant white moon and stars. The night sky in the London was very different from this, the obvious difference would be the giant moon but one could not see so many stars in the sky until they go to the sea or hike the monster stars are barely visible in the polluted skies of the cities where the city lights illuminate the night.

We stopped near a river to set up our camp I went to the forest to collect some firewood while Christina set up the base for the bonfire, after igniting the bonfire we started to heat the food Rushal was kind enough to share with us.

The vegetable shared by him was though of strange shape had a similar taste and there were also some familiar food like the potato, the stew made by using the vegetables and potatoes was very tasty though the only thing we could use for flavoring was salt as according to the merchant Rushal the spice was very expensive and is only used in Restaurants well the salt was also fairly expensive but you can't make food without it would just taste bland.

It was decided that Christina and Rachel would sleep in the wagon while I would keep a watch outside for any possible danger. Rushal also volunteered to keep watch perhaps being wary of me or perhaps he didn't want to sleep in the same wagon with a girl of the same age as his daughter. Christina might appear to one as someone in her teens but as she was a high elf and was 28 years old though she doesn't look so old and her behaviour though serious was not that of a mature woman you could even say Rachel who was clearly human was more mature than her and much more ladylike.

I fell asleep while keeping watch but the noise of someone walking beside me waked me up.

I opened my eyes to find that Rachel was missing so I'd decided to search her without anyone knowing as I did not want to wake everyone up if she was just taking a bathroom break we had to travel after some hours and them being sleepy was the last thing I wanted so I activated my skill Shadow steps to conceal the sound made by me while walking.

I approached the river as I had a hunch Rachel would be there. As I was near the river I saw the figure of a girl in the river as the distance decrease I saw the figure of a naked girl but my mind said something to me even though the such a sight was before my eyes.

My brain couldn't settle down while it repeatedly says ["DANGER"]. The extremely ripened fruit that developed her breasts has a very artistic well-proportioned form. So as to show her disposition, it's popping, completely disregards gravity but my instinct told me that she was dangerous even though she was supposed to be a mage apprentice

As I was thinking that I saw some goblin laughing and creeping up on her, I prepared my sword but I didn't attack as I wanted to see why my instinct was telling me that she was a threat. If she couldn't handle those four goblins I would save her and this was also a good chance to see a human mage in action.

The four goblins surrounded her but Rachel didn't flinch but simply smiled , her eyes turned blood red and her brown hair turned shining silver and a red light coming out from her hand engulfed the goblins, they screamed as it appears as blood has dried from their bodied the gobline green colour became pale as all the blood in the body we're floating in the air and was being absorbed by Rachel.

Did Human mages fight like this was the first thing that came in my mind as I was retreating back to the camp I stepped on a twig and our eyes met.
