[Luna POV]

The next couple of days was spent mostly in the kitchen preparing everything.  When the chefs of the royal family arrived, they spent a while going around and checking everything so that they knew what was what and where was where.  They then checked on the ingredients that I provided and were surprised by the wyvern meat.  A few days after that, other nobles started to arrive.  I was now with Ophidia and the others waiting for the day of the wedding to arrive.

 

“I’m surprised that this much work goes into preparing for a wedding.  I’ve seen several of them from a distance, but never participated in the set up.” (Velvet)

 

“It is quite hectic, isn’t it?” (Soleil)

 

I was about to say something when I felt a powerful presence approaching the village.

 

“Seems like Skadi is coming.” (Luna)

 

“Really!” (Ophidia)

 

“Yep.  I wonder what she is doing though.” (Luna)

 

It was then that mom came to us.

 

“Luna, come with me, the royal family is arriving shortly.” (Amagi)

 

“And that answers that question.” (Luna)

 

“What do you mean?” (Amagi)

 

“Don’t worry about it.” (Luna)

 

We moved to the village entrance just in time to see an extremely ornamented carriage coming.  From a distance, it looked like solid gold and silver.

 

“I realize there is a meaning to having something like that, but isn’t that going a bit too far?” (Luna)

 

“While I know what you’re trying to say and completely agree with it, please keep thoughts like that to yourself.” (Amagi)

 

“I will, but even if I didn’t, none of us could be executed for lese majeste.  We all technically have higher status than they do.” (Luna)

 

“…Now that I think about it, you’re right.  But even then, it’s still rude.  I didn’t raise you to be rude.” (Amagi)

 

“Fair enough.  By the way where’s dad?” (Luna)

 

“He rode out to greet them before they arrived.  It’s some tradition from a long time ago.” (Amagi)

 

“Got it.  By the way, once this is over, can you have Ana prepare a room close to Ophidia’s for Skadi?” (Luna)

 

“Sure thing.” (Amagi)

 

As we were having this quiet conversation, dad rode up to us on a horse.

 

“You actually look like a knight for once.” (Luna)

 

“Don’t I always look like that?” (Deacon)

 

““No.””

 

“You agree with her, Amagi!?” (Deacon)

 

“I do.  Normally, you only partially wear your armor, so it doesn’t have the effect you think it does.” (Amagi)

 

“But wearing all of this all the time would be a detriment.  Anyway, as you can see, they are almost here.” (Deacon)

 

As dad said this, the carriage that was surrounded by guards on horses and Skadi on foot entered the village.  When she saw me. Skadi gave a small wave in my direction and I did the same.  I then spoke to her telepathically.

 

“Meet with us tonight when you are free.”

 

She nodded at my message.  It was then that the carriage slowed down and the door opened.  Then a person stepped out.  He was tall and had unkempt gray hair and eyes.  Instead of a regular crown that you would expect to see on his head, he had a golden circlet instead.  His wolf ears were constantly moving at every sound showing that he was vigilant.

 

‘I expected him to give off a regal feeling, but he just seems like a regular person.’

 

{That’s because your common sense when it comes to important people is skewed.  You already know several people even more important than some measly king.}

 

‘That’s true, but I guess I should at-wait, do I even need to play along?  I’m an S-rank adventurer as well.’

 

I then started to ask mom and dad.

 

“Hey, because of my S-rank status, will I need to bow in front of him?” (Luna)

 

“I don’t know.” (Amagi)

“No clue.” (Deacon)

 

I then looked over to Skadi and asked her the same thing.  Her response was shaking her head, implying that it was not necessary for me to bow to the king of my home country.  This whole situation happened in the few seconds it took for the king to get off of the carriage and come to stand in front of us.  Dad had already dismounted his horse and he and mom then kneeled in front of the king while I remained standing.  The king silently looked at me like he was assessing me then grinned a bit.

 

“I see.  When I heard that there was an S-rank adventurer with the family name of Reed, I figured that it was someone related to Deacon, but to think I would meet you so soon.”  The king then looked ant mom and dad. “You may rise.”

 

They did as he said and when they raised their faces, I could see dad had a smirk on his face.

 

“I told you my daughter was special, didn’t I, King Lobo?” (Deacon)

 

“Hahaha.  You did many times, even back when you hadn’t met her yet.” (Lobo)

 

I could see mom holding in a sigh.

 

‘Guess there is more to their relationship than I thought.’

 

{Guess so.  I’m actually surprised your father never told you about his relationship with the king.}

 

‘You know how he is, always with the training.  He probably forgot that he never told me.’

 

{That’s true.}

 

The king then looked over to mom.

 

“And thank you, Amagi, for doing this for my son.” (Lobo)

 

“It’s not a problem.” (Amagi)

 

The king then looked back at me and smiled.

 

“It’s nice to meet you.  I am King Lobo Savanna.”

 

“I am Luna Reed, or, as you might have heard, Luna of the Spectral Mists.”

 

“Well met.” (Lobo)

 

He held his hand out for a handshake and I shook it.  Once that was over, he turned around and went back to the carriage.

 

“Now I must go back to acting like a king.  We can talk again later.” (Lobo)

 

He then climbed back into the carriage and it started moving again.  Once the king’s carriage was further into the village, I spoke my thoughts.

 

“The way that ended make it feel like he owns the place.  Is that how kings are supposed to act?” (Luna)

 

This question caused mom to facepalm and dad to chuckle.

 

“What?  Doesn’t this place technically belong to Tamamo?” (Luna)

 

“No.  The shrine, belongs to the goddess.  The village around the shrine belongs to us as a proxy to the king, so technically, he does own the village.  And yes, that is how kings usually act.  How did you not notice this when you met Drome?” (Amagi)

 

“…I don’t know.” (Luna)

 

“Pfft.  Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” (Deacon)

 

“*Sigh*  The two of you are so alike.” (Amagi)

 

“And you love us for it.” (Luna)

 

This made mom smile.

 

“Naturally.” (Amagi)

 

We then made our way back to the shrine.

 

Chaos Realm:
Atmos: Now that I think about it, Luna really does take after her parents in this life.  Why is that?

Mortals change over time.  Just because she has the memories and personality from her past life doesn't mean she won't change.  She was around them for 15 years and unconsciously picked up some of their personality traits that mixed with what was already there.

Atmos: I see.  I guess that's what makes watchin and messing with mortals so much fun.

I agree.  They are so much fun to watch and mess with.  Like this one time, I was bored so I decided to see what was going on down there and watched this one person that interested me.  He was down on his luck so I intervened a little by giving him an item.  After that, a lot of things happened, both good and bad, and eventually he became the first king of the Celestia Kingdom.

Atmos: Oh, I remember him!  He really was exciting to watch, though I was always confused on how he would slip at random times.

Yeah, that was me.  I was reading something from Luna's previous world where the main character used magic to make things slip and it amused me, so I decided to try it out.  It was great.

Atmos: Would you please teach me that magic?  It would be great to add that to my prank repertoire.

I'll teach it to you later.

Atmos: Thanks.
