Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The five suns and moons

I walked out of this place, closing the door on the way out, meeting up with my parents who awaited me on the outside. 

"Welcome back! How'd it go?" They questioned me excited about the news.

"I believe it was successful I've even obtained rank b in leadership which showed me a bunch of details."

My parents were left dumbfounded by the information as they stared at me with their mouths open, unknowingly what to say.

"What!? That's impossible! Just how did you manage such an achievement?"

"Did I say something wrong?"

As if waking them up from their trance mother spoke, "Ah, no. It's just I've been doing this for a very long time and I've only obtained far less during the centuries..."

She looked at my father in despair, being embraced by him.

"Well I'm making quite a lot of positive changes that could've been done back then, so I believe that's the reason why mine got up so fast."

"Still..." she almost cried in his chest. "That's just unbelievable, just how amazing and blessed are you daughter?"

"A little bit?" I smiled kindly at them, making my father laugh.

"The better the forest becomes the best for everyone. We'll do what we can to help you in anything you need daughter," father reassured me once more, to make sure I understood they were on my side.

"Thank you both." 

"You're welcome dear," My mother's hand extended towards me, patting my hair.

"It seems you truly are special," She smiles happily, content with her decision in appointing me as the new ruler.

After talking for a bit in a more cheerful and family bonding way I headed to my room to rest, relaxing in bed, snoozing for a while till Anita came and woke me up for dinner.

"Is it time?" I ask tiredly as I felt like I hadn't slept enough.

"Well I'm not sure about what time you're asking for, but if the princess keeps sleeping you won't be able to rest at night!"

"Yes," I yawned. "You're right." I did an effort to leave the bed, walking kind of drowsy making Anita support me.

"Let's go outside of the basement for a bit," we leave the room and slowly head there. After some time, we arrived and sat on the fluffy greenery.

"Princess try to not fall asleep in here, waking you up was pretty tough," she complained at me making me laugh.

"Yes, yes as you wish little queen," upon hearing my words she made a half confused and half embarrassed face, sitting closer to me as her cheeks became rosy, similar to the bit of the sunset we could see together.

'Even in this Anatra, it paints the sky in beautiful pastel tones.'

I stole a glimpse of my maid, who was awfully quiet, "do you know what a moon is Anita?"

"Yes, princess."

"I see five suns in the sky, so how many moons are there?"

"There's 5 moons princess why?" She asked curiously, wondering what such information could provide us.

"Just wondering about something, I'm not sure yet," I murmur, thinking about something in particular. 'The number is 5 and 5 making 10, and there're 10 administrators is it a coincidence?'

"Have you ever seen a moon or one of the suns missing Anita?"

"Sometimes it's hard to see all of them so perhaps it looks like some go missing."

"Eh," a smile went across my lips." Is that so?"

"Yes, princess?" She asked confused without knowing I didn't really mean to ask her for confirmation.

"Speaking of which Anita, I forgot to ask yesterday, but what job did yours evolve to?"

"Apparently to one called combat maid," without being able to contain myself, I burst laughing at the idiocy of the name and the scenarios that passed through my mind, imagining her fighting fiends with a broom.

She smiled awkwardly, feeling teased, "was it that funny princess? I did pick the evolution upon your suggestion."

"Ah, I can't the name is so funny. And yes you did good, but how did that influence the job you already had?"

"Apparently I got some fighting aspects on top of improved cleaning features."

"Really? That's pretty amazing do you have a class?"

"No, and from what I know no one in our forest does. Neither an evolution in case the princess will ask for that next."

"I actually was going to, good job on foreseeing that," I pat her hair making her blush slightly.

"Thank you princess Flamerah," she smiled happily, treasuring my gesture.

"What if I told you to go outside of the forest to fight monsters? Would you be willing to?"

"I'd do anything you asked of me, you're the princess after all," she replied with a serious expression.

"Right... I've actually become the ruler of the forest earlier today it was quite sudden, so an official ceremony will likely happen soon."

"What!?" Anita screamed extremely surprised.

I grinned at her reaction.

"That's absolutely amazing, princess! Congrats!"

"Thank you, but that just makes your job harder from here onwards."

She smiled at my provocation responding excitedly, "I'll do my best!"

Upon hearing her words I started laughing again.

A while passed and I headed to the dining table where I found my parents.

As we started eating my father spoked some worries with a serious face, "I've heard from Eyon that you wish to reformulate the peasants and nobles' ranks."

"Yes, I've concluded a better way to organize people that will make them want to improve themselves in many ways."

"I'm curious about that, however, when you strip someone of their rank what will you do to the fairies under them and their territories?"

"They may keep them, it's not like I'm going to steal them of what they inherited, but I'll only reward those who work hard for my wish making peasants gain territories and even underlings to work for them as nobles have."

"What if an ex-noble works hard for your wish?" Mother asked worriedly, thinking that I may be denying them a fair chance.

"Then I'll reward them equally, after all, I have done so for both nobles and peasants already."

"The different families that have been trading things with you in the basement?"

"Yes, exactly. I believe that once the ceremony starts, I'll do a speech to explain how everything will work from that day onwards."

"There's a chance that some people won't like it, what will you do then?" Father asked with a worried expression.

With a cold voice, I replied, "I'll make them obey, and if they still don't want to then I'll have to punish them till they understand."

"Be careful with that so as to not cause a revolt like before, when you fought the five elders. Fighting a hundred nobles would certainly be impossible."

"Yes, but I'd have thousands of peasants on my side," I added, grinning, making my father realize where I was coming from.

"In other words, you wish to become the ruler of peasants, and make nobles subdue without being able to contest, that's brilliant," mother added.

"For that give me a week so I can extend my influence through the forest. On the last day, we can make the ceremony in the middle of somewhere where everyone can attend, see and hear me clearly."

"We'll handle the preparations for that."

"Thank you both, you're the best," they smiled at my compliment and we resumed eating.
