In a beautiful garden full of flowers in every corner, in the middle of the garden, there is a beautiful woman sitting at an elegant dining set. She has red hair and green eyes. Her name is Princess Diana Rose. She is drinking tea while complaining to her butler, Raul.
"Why did Otou-sama have to pair me with that hero! Why!? He has absolutely no manners!"
"You only have to put up with him until the Demon Lord is killed or sealed Hime-sama." replied Raul.
Raul has been serving the royal family for a long time, he is now almost 50 and his hair has long since turned white.
"Buuuut..." while she was about to begin pouting, Raul cut her off, "They're here Hime-sama."
She immediately shut up, fixed her expression and became the spitting image of a perfect princess.
A breeze blows through the garden and 4 humans appear in the corner of the garden. It's the hero and his countrymen. "Ryuuji-sama!" Princess Diana stood from the chair and rushed towards him. She promptly threw her arms around him and said "I missed you."
Shocked Ryuuji expressed his concern of being dirty, "Hime-sama let go of me... I am very dirty from the dungeon exploration!
"And where's my greeting?" Diana asks.
"I'm back Hime-sama" he replied with flustered face.
"Didn't I already tell you to stop calling me Hime-sama?"
"But..."
"Just call me Diana!"
"I can't do that."
"Then I will be angry with you and not talk to you! Hmph"
"Then... D-Diana...?"
"Yes Ryuuji-sama?"
"Ano... Ryuuji-san? I'm sorry to interrupt your lovely dovey time... but uuuuh, you see, at least three of us would like to take a bath. Not to mention how tired we are, so can you hurry up and teleport us to our rooms first?" Olivia Touji interrupts while her mouth is twitching.
"Sorry Diana I guess I have to go."
"...but I still miss you... you always go to the dungeons and don't make time for me..." Diana pouts.
"I will have to visit you later then." Ryuuji declares.
The rest of the hero party didn't bother to say anything as they bowed towards the princess before vanishing.
"Ugh" after the heroes vanished, Diana started to vomit.
"Hime-sama!" Raul shouts as he runs towards her.
"Ugh... This smells disgusting ...bleh... Prepare a bath for me ...ugh... Also prepare some perfume to make this smell disappear."
"Right away." Raul leaves to find some servants to help with his orders.
In a small room, that was well hidden in a cellar of a remote village. Two people were having a meeting that would land them both in jail if they were caught. One was a Knight and one was the silver haired girl that Alonso keeps cursing. Her identity is fallen Princess Helena. The knight, Lopez was opposite of her. "Are you sure princess?"
"Lopez, just call me Helena. I'm not a princess anymore. The Flower Empire was destroyed, remember?"
An awkward silence passed between the two.
"We need to run from here. As quickly as possible, before they find us."
" I will prepare at once Princess... err... Helena-sama"
"I secretly cast a spell on that black-haired adventurer without him realizing it. Once they see his now silver hair, that should slow them down as they follow him."
"Helena-sama! Are you sure that's a good idea? What if he comes looking for you? Didn't you see him kill the dragon with the same ease you would a goblin?"
"It's fine Lopez. Even if he were immortal, he'll never be able to get away from them."
"I guess you're right."
"Now, let's get ready to leave!"

Shortly after the duke went flying into the wall, an older version of Lucy came running out of the house. Maybe they heard the sound of him hitting the wall? She approaches me wearing an amused expression and exclaims, "Good Job!" The she walks over to the unconscious duke while chuckling.
"Oh my my... what do we have here? Oh well. Serves you right." I can hardly hear her talking to herself.
She then says something I can't quite understand, and a small, blue magic circle appears from her hand. From this magic circle a large ball of water accumulates, which she proceeds to throw on the duke!
~Splash!~
The duke jumps up in anger and shouts "Who dares to throw water on me!?"
As he looks around and sees the older version of Lucy standing there, he falls silent.
"What was that?" she asks with a scary smile on her face.
"N-nothing..." He is now acting more timid than a small cat... who is she?
"How dare you try to kill our new son in-law!" she shouts at him.
Wait did she just say son in-law?
"I just wanted to know if he was strong enough to protect Lucy!"
"That's it! You're coming with me!"
Aaaand she's dragging him off... let's not get on her bad side?
"W-wait! Mary! Please hear me out!"
"Shut up, or else I'll pull harder!"
I'm just standing watching this comical scene when she yells back to me, "ah... sorry about all this..."
"eh?"
"Wait here, I'll call Lucy" she yelled as she disappeared into the house.
Not even 5 minutes later Lucy comes out of the house with some water and a towel.
"H-here..." she handed me the towel shyly...
"Ah thanks" I take the towel from her, curiously she keeps looking at me with a flustered look on her face...
"Is something wrong?" I ask.
"You beat him!" she sounds like she can hardly believe it. I still don't know what is with her, she spent the entire carriage ride here ignoring me while trying to get on Alicia's good side.
She dejectedly tells me about how he's always challenging the men that come by to fights.
"I see..."
"Please ignore what my mother said to you before!" she pleaded with me. Although I can hear her mumbling the words, "It's not like I dislike you..."
"Before?"
"When mother called you her son in-law!"
"Wait that's your mother?!" she looks way too young.
"Yes that's my mother." Lucy confirms.
"I see.... That explains why she is as beautiful as you."
"eh...? EH!?" She appears to be dumbstruck. "He called me beautiful..."
Well, I'll just ignore her until she stops muttering to herself. I place my mask and cloak into my inventory and rub my face with the towel. "Aaaaah, it's very under those."
"Yea why didn't Shadow-sama take them off befor..." She froze before finishing her sentence.
I snap my fingers near her. "Lucy? You okay?"
"Sorry!" she tossed the glass of water to me and ran away. Good thing I was able to catch it, but why'd she run away?
Rena and I looked at each other and decided it's time to leave. We headed to the house to bid farewell to Lucy, and her parents. They wanted us to stay but we insisted that it's time to go. If I stayed any longer I feel like that muscle for brains duke will insist on fighting with me again. Before we left we were handed a bag with 50 Platinum coins in it for saving Lucy. (Editors note: Reminder, there is a 1:100 ratio for copper → bronze → silver → gold → platinum)
Lucy's dad also tried insisting on a rematch so I blew him away.
As we were leaving I heard a ~ding~ and the mail icon from the game showed up in front of me. When I clicked on it the first thing I saw was "From the Goddess.
