I guess the sins of the father really do fall onto the son, since Lukas was one of the people responsible for making the original Aren’s life a living hell and, eventually, became the man that would sell Aren into slavery as one final fuck you to his father.

I almost groaned out loud at how cliché this whole situation was.

But I managed to restrain myself... It was a close thing, though.

I’m going to need to deal with him at some point, so I might as well start now.

In the ten or so seconds it’d taken me to think through all of this, the princess’s friends had stepped completely in front of me and were shielding me from the anger of the boys.

A needless effort, but one I appreciated, nonetheless.

The princess, Lukas, and his two goons had gotten into a shouting match in the middle of the square. People from all walks of

life were stopping to stare at the empire’s first princess and the heir Malkfey argue like the children they were.

I stepped around the two girls, quietly thanking them for their earlier actions as I did, and gently tugged on the princess’s arm to get her attention.

“He’s not worth it, Princess.”

“But he—”

I shook my head. ”You’re making a scene.”

She looked around at the numerous people gathered around whispering, gossiping, and gawking at the two of them. Her eyes dropped to the ground and I noticed her shrinking in on herself.

“Thank you for protecting me... Kami.”

“What did you just call me?”

“Princess, I said princess.”

“No, you said Kami.”

“Hey,”

“I did not.”

“You did!”

“Did not.”

“Hey!”

“Did too!”

“Stop ignoring me!” Lukas yelled.

“You’re still here?”

I watched as his face grew even redder, and I imagined steam coming out of his ears, kind of like a teapot. “I’m gonna kill you, pig!”

You can certainly try.

“Oh no, I’m shaking in my boots.”

“Richard, Micah!”

Things One and Two stepped around Lukas and approached me with what I can only assume were meant to be intimidating looks on their faces.

The princess made to step in front of me, but I held out my arm and stopped her.

“Don’t cause a scene, Princess.”

“You’ve already caused a scene, you idiot!”

“Well, yeah... But I’m a boy so—” I slammed my forehead into the larger of the two’s nose as he reached for me. I felt his nose give way to my forehead, and he stumbled away with a cry of pain and blood running over his mouth and down his chin.

He may have been a goon, but he was still a ten or eleven-year-old boy, so I didn’t really want to hurt him, which is why I didn’t take advantage of the situation and press the attack while I had the chance. In fact, I still hadn’t moved from my place in front of the princess.

“—I’m expected to get into trouble every now and then,” I finished while staring into the eyes of the shorter goon. “Besides, I’ve got some annoyance to work through.”

The shorter goon looked from his crying, bleeding friend to his boss, to me, then back to his boss.
