My Magical System

Chapter 259: Little Princess

After entering his Lord’s Domain, they directly went towards the clearing in the middle of the forest where his people were building a community.

Seeing him, everyone paid respect to him.

“My lord!”

“My lord!”

“My lord!”

Everyone called out as they downed on their knees one after another.

Eina looked around in puzzlement. She was wondering why these people around them suddenly greeted them as if they were important people in their eyes. They even bowed on their knees. Based on her young knowledge, this kind of gesture was a show of highest respect towards a person of high status.

.....

Mostly, this kind of respect was directed to a noble or someone powerful. But, looking at their attires and appearances, they didn’t look like peasants. They even looked like nobles just by how good-looking they appeared. Their clothes and dresses, although looking unusual and didn’t appear that could be bought in the empire, still didn’t seem like something that a peasant could afford.

Eina noticed an older person around 50’s of age, walking hurriedly towards them.

It immediately bowed slightly after arriving in front of her brother. “Welcome back, My Lord,” the old man said.

“Eh?” Why it seemed they knew my brother? Eina had that question in her mind. “B-brother...” Eina decided to call her brother as she could not understand what was happening.

Maybe hearing her call, the old man turned to look at her.

“My Lord, is this little one...”

“She’s my sister.”

Eina heard her brother’s reply. It was casual and calm. As though he was talking to a person he was very familiar with. When did his brother aquainted with other people? After hearing her brother’s words, not only the old man, but also all the people around them looked at her with expressions similar to how they looked at her brother.

“L-Little princess...” With that as the start, everyone followed saying those same words while directing their eyes at her.

“Little princess...”

“Eh? Eh?” Eina was even more shocked. Who did they call a princess? Wait, what is this? Although she knew that they were looking at her while speaking those words, it was still difficult for her to believe that all these people around them were calling her that.

Why? Why are they giving us this kind of treatment?

Eina looked around.

Noticing his sister’s puzzlement, Eman smiled. “Don’t worry. They’re good people.”

“B-brother, I mean... are we who they are calling?” Eman’s lips curled up to form a warm smile. “That’s right,” he nodded.

“Ehhh?!” Eina was overwhelmed by shock. Suddenly, she pulled him down. Eman realized that his sister wanted to whisper something into his ears. So, he bent down to level his ear at her height. “T-They are just joking, right? They are not serious...”

“.....”

Eman fell silent for a second before he chuckled, “Pfft, no, they are serious,” he said.

“Ehh!!! Seriously?!” She exclaimed.

He noticed his sister’s flustered face upon hearing his reply. “Yeah, seriously. Don’t worry, I will tell you everything later.”

“O-okay.” Her reply was reflexive. After nodding, her brother then turned his attention to the old man in front of them.

This old man was one of the few old people in this domain. Eman appointed him as the village chief of this place. It would be troublesome if he just left this place without a proper guideline.

Since they were smart and able to learn faster than ordinary people outside this domain, learning was not a big issue for them.

Eman suspicion about their learning speed was due to their emptiness. They were like a blank page of a book right when they evolved to humans.

But he suspected that once their minds filled with knowledge, their learning speed would also start to become normal. Like an empty bookshelf. At first it will be easy to place books because of the spacious space, but if it reaches the point that the space is full, it is necessary to insert others into its gaps just to fit.

That might be not the most appropriate analogy, but it was something close to that.

Regardless, Eman looked at the old man. “I’m happy to see you all happily living normal lives here. I want to officially introduce my sister to everyone. She is Eina. My younger sister.”

“Princess Eina.”

“Little Princess Eina.”

“Wow, it’s a very beautiful name.”

“Eh?”

Eina’s face started blushing that someone called her princess and that her name was beautiful. Never in her wildest dream she thought she would experience being called these from other people.

The chief then turned around and faced the others.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and slaughter goats, cows, and chickens!”

“Everyone get ready for the grand party! Also let everyone know about the arrival of our Lord!” The village chief screamed.

“Alright!”

Everyone looked very happy as they scuttled away after receiving the village chief’s command. Now they acted more intellectual. Unlike when they first turned to humans.

Finally, this place had become more and more like a proper village. The houses around were mostly made of wood and bamboo. But few of them were already made of stone and mortar. Some were in the process of rebuilding. They finally learned how to build them.

If you expand your sight outside the village, you could see their wheat and rice fields. Looks like they are finally able to farm properly. Although not as proper as those proficient farmers from his old world, it was still in the passable degree.

But wait, Eman noticed something uncommon on those fields.

“What are those, Chief?” Eman pointed to the rice field. He saw some small creatures that looked like heinous insects. They have four transparent wings and human-like features. But their color was green. Their faces look like NASA’s visual of aliens.

“Don’t tell me those aliens the NASA publicized came from here?” Eman could not help but mumble.

“NASA? Alien?”

The Village Chief asked while tilting his head.

“Ah don’t mind it.”

“Uh, do you mean those mischievous little ones, my lord? They are the gift of the elder.”

After the mention of the word ‘elder’, Eman already knew what was happening. It was those two again. Elder Priest and probably Sky too.

“They are called Pest-Eaters. Little Sky told us that there might be a chance that the enemy will attack our grains. We didn’t know what she meant, so we ignored it at first. But it indeed happened one day. Some pests attacked the grains and destroyed our grains. Fortunately, the Elder found a way to topple them. He sent those little ones to guard the fields,” explained the village chief.

Eman gawked.

Little Sky and the elder are truly an unstoppable duo! Their inventions are always out of sense.

First was the human face creatures. Second is the worm-like excavators that the elder used to dig for him, then these Pest-Eaters.

What’s next?
