Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Chapter 333 Coup Part 1
Chapter 333 Coup Part 1
While we were heading to the airship dock, I was busy getting changed with Sophie and Adel's help. "Faith, your chest has gotten bigger again."
"That's because two girls won't leave them alone!" I said with pursed lips. I do not know what had gotten into them, but they keep attacking me at night. Well, it's not like I dislike it, but they both team up on me, and it's not fair.f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Hehe!" Adel giggled as she helped me zip the back side of my dress up. I turned and narrowed my eyes at her but didn't say anything.
"Sophie, sorry you can't wear a dress this time…." I felt bad as we were not bringing knights with us this time. Sophie was going to be our guard while Grace was our attendant, but with this group, I do not think there is a single kingdom that could stop us from doing what we want.
"It's fine. I am more comfortable in this anyway. I feel more me than I do when I wear a dress." Sophie replied.
"Are you girls ready yet? We are just about to dock." Thurul's voice came over the intercom.
"Yeah, five minutes," I answered as we began to hurry to finish getting ready.𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎
Ten minutes later, we were finally done and walked out of the room towards the deck of the airship to get off. When Thurul saw us, his eyes opened wide as he stroked his beard. "Sometimes I forget you girls are girls."
"Hey!' I shouted, causing Thurul to laugh. While we might not act very ladylike, we were indeed girls.
"Alright, you should get going. Those guards are looking impatient." Thurul said as he pointed to the guards who were standing on the dock. I nodded and made my way off the ship.
"Hello, I am Prime Minister Douglus. I will be your guide as we make our way to the castle." a young man in glasses and short black hair said as he bowed to Adel and me.
"My name is Princess Cyrilia of the Gravos Kingdom. Next to me is Crown Princess Adel of the Gravos Kingdom. We are sorry for the sudden abrupt visit, but there was something we must talk to your king about." Adel and I both curtsied. We had decided to reveal Adel's title as it might help with negotiations. After the king found out that this kingdom did not know about the power source, from what we could tell, he decided to try to do things diplomatically. And only when that failed would we annex that plot of land and seal it off with a barrier.
Hearing Adel's title made the Prime Minister raise an eyebrow. "It is a pleasure to meet you both. I hope you do not mind that the carriage is slightly crude as we did not have time to prepare a proper royal carriage."
"Anything is fine. We were the ones to come unannounced after all." I answered. I guess the Prime Minister was wondering why I was answering all the questions because he kept looking at Adel with a questioning gaze, but she only stood there and smiled.
"Then this way, please." The Prime Minister seemed to have gotten a hint as he led us out of the docking area and to a carriage that was waiting for us. We climbed aboard what was actually a spacious and comfortable carriage. The Prime Minister, as well as one guard who was a woman, climbed aboard as well.
"Princess Cyrilia, is there a reason why you did not bring any knights with you and only one guard?" The Prime Minister asked.
"Hmmm? Because there is not a single person in this kingdom who can defeat my guard." I replied with a bright smile. I guess my answer did not sit well with the Prime Minister because his brow twitched, and the guard next to him placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. "Don't get so worked up. I was only answering the Prime Minister's question. If you draw your sword on me, it will mean an international incident."
"Take your hand off your sword." The Prime Minister seemed to realize he was overreacting as he gave his guard an order. But I think he was surprised at my ability to see her movements so quickly and still stay calm. "I apologize, Princess Cyrilia, Crown Princess Adel."
"It's fine. It is only natural to be wary of the unknown. Now may I ask where we are going? Because if we go this way, we will not be heading to the castle anytime soon." I said with a smile as I titled my head in a questioning manner. I had been using detection magic this entire time, so I could tell what was going on outside and noticed we were not heading toward the castle at all.
"This? Are you sure!?" The Prime Minister seemed flustered as he quickly looked out the window. "Captain Billings, what is going on!? Why are we not going to the castle!?"
"Prime Minister, a smart man should never stick his head out the window." With those words, I heard a splash of blood as the Prime Minister's headless body fell to the floor. The guard that came with him quickly drew her sword and stood in front of us.
"Princesses, please do not move. I do not know what is going on, but we all may be dying today. I will try to make a chance for you to escape, so when I tell you to run, run!" The guard had a look of unwillingness, but it seemed she wished to keep to her duty. I guess she was not in on this plot or whatever it was.
"I guess we came at a bad time since it seems there is going to be a coup." I let out a lazy yawn as I leaned my head against Adel's shoulder. "Tell me when it is over. You girls kept me up late last night."
"MMm… Sleep. I can handle these people with ease." Sophie said as she leaned over and kissed my lips before standing up and drawing her sword. She then looked at the guard, who was confused as to what she was doing, and pushed the guard back in her seat. "No need to lose your life."
