'Why is that fake boob princess with them?' Souta thought when he saw the elf girl walking together with his party members. He was familiar with this elf girl. He was wondering how did they get to know the elf girl.
Did they know the elf girl's identity?
Souta looked at Lumilia's face and understood that she didn't know the elf girl's identity. If Lumilia knew it then she wouldn't be able to smile like that. It's possible if it was Bryan as he was an idiot but for Lumilia... She would mind it.
The elf girl was the daughter of the emperor of the Eternal Empire, princess Aleaphine Zarkanan. Aleaphine, in short Alea, was the famed fake boob princess back in the game. The players called her fake boob princess for one reason.
That big boobs that Souta was seeing at this moment were certainly fake ones. Alea roamed around the continent searching for a way to make her boobs bigger. She doesn't want to wear that fake boobs anymore. She was frustrated and desperate.
One time, she arrived in the Mechanic Country. She found Souta a commander at that time. She asked him if there's a technology that could enhance the size of her breast.
Souta furrowed his brows and pinched the bridge of his nose. He doesn't want to remember that part of his life. This elf girl was also speaking strangely that made the other people left her.
He could even remember the time when she gave him a quest to find a technology to enhance her breast. Of course, Souta failed it as he didn't find a way. Well, if she let someone experiment with her body then he was sure that some genius would be able to accomplish what she wants.
Although this elf girl was weird, Souta couldn't deny her strength. Princess Alea will become a huge force of the Eternal Empire in the future when war broke out in the whole continent.
How did this happen? was the question in Souta's mind.
He patted Yuko before he stood up.
"Brother Souta!" Cluster jumped and she opened her arms.
Souta hugged her before he placed her on the ground to play with Yuko. All this time, he was observing the movements of his party members and this fake boob princess.
He opened his mouth after a while. "Lumilia... Who's that?" He asked while glancing at Alea. He asked this question to avoid suspicion. This was the first time he met her so he shouldn't know her identity. Even the citizen of the Eternal Empire didn't know the appearance of princess Alea so how could he, a person from another country, knew the appearance of the princess.
Every time princess Alea showed herself in the public, she always wore a veil. She also didn't use the paddings in her breast. So anyone would be having a hard time to guess that she was princess Alea.
Before Lumilia could answer Souta's question, Alea strode forward and looked at Souta from head to toe.
"Oho~ so you're the great leader of these people," Alea said with a faint smile on her face.
'Damn, I don't want to talk to this person.' Souta grumbled inwardly. He still asked her, "Who are you?"
"I, Alea, the Princess of the Twilight Blood Moon, descend upon this land from the castle of the Blood Moon. As you are the leader of the Dark Oculus, I shall permit you to call me Princess Alea." Alea said while striking a strange pose.
Souta looked at her with a blank expression on his face. After a while, he sighed and said, "Fine, I'll call you Alea."
"Ehhh! You... Ahem! Fine, I, Princess of the Twilight Blood Moon, permit you to call me by my name. Now, tell me your name and I will remember it." At first, she was shocked when Souta directly called her name but she quickly regained her posture. As expected of the Princess Aleaphine of the Eternal Empire.
"Hmm... I'm Souta Ieshi the leader of the Dark Oculus. Also, a student of the Ladro Institute from the Hebrei Kingdom." Souta decided to tell her his name as it wouldn't harm him. In fact, it would be good for him if he could establish a connection with the famed princess.
"Hmph! Be grateful. I shall remember your name leader of the dark army of the Oculus." Alea said to him.
"Thanks." Souta knew her personality so he thanked her to avoid any problem even though there's a lot of problem in her words. Dark army? Oculus? His group should be Dark Oculus so why did it change when she mentioned it.
"Oho~ it seems that you understand the greatness of I, the Princess of the Twilight Blood Moon." Alea laughed lightly as she was satisfied at Souta's reply.
"Oh, merciful and great Alea. This humble one is thankful that he met the Princess of the Twilight Blood Moon." Souta said.
"Oho~"
Lumilia, Yujin, Brando, and Alice were shocked when they saw this scene. Even the elf butler that was following Alea was shocked that Souta could humor the princess.
Souta just ignored the "Twilight Blood Moon Princess" and "Castle of Twilight Blood Moon" words. They racked their brains but no matter how much they think about it, no Castle of Twilight Blood Moon that could be found on this continent. At first, they thought that it was just a small country but the butler said that they don't need to mind Alea's words.
They don't know that Alea was a real princess just like what she says. The Castle of Twilight Blood Moon that Alea mentioned was the Imperial Palace of the Eternal Empire.
But there's one person who believed everything that Alea says. His name was Bryan Dagruel. He was the one who's listening to Alea's words and believe everything like an innocent young boy. Well, everyone expected it so they didn't care about explaining it to him.
Souta learned from Alea that they met Lumilia and the rest outside the Eternal Empire. Lumilia and co. were heading towards the Eternal Empire when they met a bunch of second evolution monster. They could easily handle the strength of a second evolution monster but the monsters have an enormous advantage in terms of numbers.
Luckily, Alea and the butler were closed to them. They help Lumilia's group in pushing back the group of monsters. Thanks to them, they safely arrived in this place.
Knowing that they help Lumilia's group, Souta once again thanked Alea.
Then, they went to the Adventurers Guild and submit the completion form of their quest. Souta received the rewards from the system. He was satisfied with the result of their journey towards the Eternal Empire. They also got to establish a foundation in their relationship with the princess of this empire.
"We will meet again if fate permitted it," Alea said to them before she turned around and left.
The butler bowed towards them before he followed Alea.
Souta just looked at their back without saying anything. He knew that this princess always wandered around the empire under that name. She was always composed when she showed herself to the public as a princess but as an adventurer she was different.
That's her real personality.
The princess that everyone knew was just a facade that she created to pleased every citizen of this empire. In truth, she was a willful princess. And she loved adventures the most.
"Let's go..." Souta shook his head and he turned around.
They went back to the inn and he introduced everyone to the people of Lanny corp. Lumilia, the acting leader of Souta's group, slowly introduced every to the Lanny group. Jagret too introduced themselves. They carefully held Ginvi to avoid confronting Souta's party members while Souta's group was trying to shut Bryan's mouth for the same reason. All of them didn't want trouble to occur. It's also a sign of respect for their leader, Souta.
No problem occurred so Souta proceeds to take out a huge map of the Eternal Empire. He placed the map on top of the table.
"Everyone, I'll tell you my plan," Souta said as he swept his eyes across the people in the room.
They nodded at him and gathered around the table to look at the huge map.
Souta draw small circles in some part of the map. He slowly opened his mouth and explained to them what did this mean, "These small circles are the low-level dungeons. As you can see, there's a lot of dungeons around the Eternal Empire. We will clean them first.
The Dark Oculus will move without me and that's the same for the Lanny group. We'll divide ourselves into three groups so we could clear the dungeon faster. I'll move alone so don't be lazy. If I know that I clear more dungeons than you guys, then I'll show you something that you don't want to see."
This was Souta's plan. He wanted to clear all the low-level dungeons as fast as possible so that he could get those skill points from the system. He wanted to take the available skill points first before he went to the dungeon where the [Soul Blood Earring] resides.
That dungeon, the Dark Light of Eternal, was a high-level dungeon where a third evolution monster lived. He at least wanted to raise their chances in defeating the third evolution monster.
"This will be a tough week," Souta said as he looked at the map with a frown on his face.
