3rd POV
<10 years after Athena and John had met >
A/n: The childhood moments of John and Athena will be a mystery for now. I will reveal the moments later. But first, accept the time skip. Don't worry I won't leave childhood moments
"So this is the day I will be a legal adult. I even got the noble lady status. "Athena told john
Athena is a black-haired girl with purple eyes who is wearing a noble dress that is hiding her shoulders. The outfit is covering all her body except her neck and head. She wore legging in the lower half which protects her legs from injuries.
Athena may not be the most beautiful woman alive due to Athena not caring about her beautiful outlook. Athena is wearing beautiful dresses to gain influence over people and she is more interested in leading and doing something which brings her closer to her goals
Elegant and Cold is the term used to describe Athena. Athena wears a well-mannered and beautiful dress which increases her charisma. Athena has practiced and groomed to take etiquette lessons from her father. Making her an elegant lady.
Athena also took fencing and martial arts which improved her combat physique. Athena prefers fencing and combat over etiquette lessons. Until she learned the influence beautiful women
"I hope to be an empress someday, not just a noblewoman's pretty daughter," Athena told John.
Athena wanted to be respected for the power she had than people respecting her for her nobility. Unfortunately, people view her more as 'wife material' than a 'dependable noble or girl '.It pissed her off to no end.
"It's frustrating to see people don't view me as a dangerous woman. John, It's high time we do something that can cause people to submit "Athena asked John.
John is a young 14-year-old boy who is wearing glasses with white hair. He is a cute and handsome boy who is well-liked and respected for his skills in advice and planning.
He also wrote many stories as an author. Being a reincarnated author made him the best fantasy author.
Many people treated his modern world stories as fantasy stories and vice versa. People who read his stories liked the idea of cell phones and televisions. Which they aren't aware of.
It made people mark John as a prodigy.
In the end, Bryon has appointed him as his daughter's advisor due to his skills. The most bewildering fact is that Athena wanted him as his advisor.
It seems Athena has indeed believed in his skills. She wanted strong advisors and she concentrated more on the people she knew better. Maybe it's a part of her that made her believe in John's skills
He is considering the options.
"JOHN" Athena called him out. Snapping John out of his thoughts.
"We should focus on our kingdom first before we directly attack other kingdoms."
"We should plan to make allies with other kingdoms while dividing them and causing them to split once we have taken their supplies "
"Divide and rule policy. Let's plan on how we split them apart, "Athena said, eager for some action.
"No, we should first concentrate on our resources, army strength, morale, information on enemies, etc"
"We need many things before we go conquering"
"So annoying. I wanted to mark my name"Athena sighed.
Athena knows she can't just go slaughtering. But she is tired of doing nothing.
"Let's go outside. Sometimes I wish I am a boy. "Athena declared.
"You should disguise. You are noble. You don't want to attract unwanted attraction" John advised Athena.
"I will disguise myself as a boy, "Athena told John
John is embarrassed after listening to how she can tell those things in front of him.
"Although I think we should crossdress. Why don't you wear some gi-"Athena suggested.
"No, never, nope, not possible "John declared.
"Fine. Let's go shy advisor " Athena told John
Athena and John are currently traveling through the town of
Polis is a region in which all people practice magic
in this place, people with the most reputable and achievements, and talent are chosen as a most lead
reputation means that the person who is well-known whether for their good or bad deeds.
Byron may be the current leader but there exist people who wanted to take the throne from him.
Athena Wears Wear baggy upper half clothing or layer her upper body in tight to loose clothing. The number of layers of either tight or loose tops depends on her preference and how well her bust is hidden. She made her eyebrows appear bushier with mascara.
Athena as the guy is appealing.
People are less likely to target two guys hanging out. Plus no one can find Athena when she disguises herself as a boy.
"How to mimic men John?" Athena asked John, wanting to stay in that role.
"Just be yourself " John replied holding his smile
"Ok."Athena finished the talk
They planned to travel to the black wood city to purchase some weapons and add some experienced blacksmiths in their villainess lair, as Athena used to call it.
Blackwood city is famous for its weapons and the people in the city are workaholics.
Athena and John picked up their horses
"Just follow me. Keep up if you can "Athena challenged John
"Let's go, "John told them.
The reason to use a horse. Well, they both wanted to travel as fast as they can.
"Did you tell your father where we are going?"John asked Athena
"Yes, I am not that cruel to leave my father. Sure I harm others but I don't harm my people "Athena declared with a smile on her face.
After a long period of traveling. They have finally reached Blackwood city.
"Blackwood city sure has a lot of pollution "Athena exclaimed
"Well, that's normal considering the blacksmiths and the goldsmiths work here. "John deduced
"So the city is full of miners and goldsmiths. This means that it's a possibility that this area is full of thieves and rogues. Let's check this town while having awareness of our surroundings " Athena declared.
They made sure to check out their surroundings. Better to be careful than to regret.
They plan to book a room at the local inn.
After following the town's instructions and signs. They have made their way to the local inn and entered the door.
They approached the innkeeper.
"Two rooms for tonight, "Athena asked the innkeeper with a low frequency resembling a male
"Ok. I will book a single for you two boys " The innkeeper gave them a room key
They have entered the single room. Athena didn't like the room. While John has other troubles
"This room is too bad and unclean for me. At least it has beds but still, it looks worse even for a peasant "
John is panting.
"What do you think john?"Athena asked John
"We have to spend time here tonight. How can we stay in one room "
"I don't see anything wrong. It is good if my advisor stays in my room"
Athena wanted John to remain in the same room as her. She wanted to make sure they are both in the same room in case an attack/robbery happens. She didn't want to leave her trusted aide alone.
John on the other hand is unnerved by the fact he is alone with a young woman his age. His teenage hormones are rushing through his mind giving him lewd ideas.
John has high self-control. He just diverted his mind into writing his new story.
"John I am too tired to do anything for today. Can we just do anything tomorrow "Athena asked John
Well, John is tired too from the journey.
"Yeah, I am tired too. Let's just rest today " John said and he went back to his bed. Using some blankets to cover himself.
"Let's just activate a trap in case of some breaks into our rooms, " Athena suggested.
They both locked the door. And put some traps on the balcony to prevent anyone from coming into their room.
After that Athena has released her ribbon. Releasing her long feminine hair.
She also removed her baggy clothes making her chest bounce after it is restrained for a long time.
John is currently thinking about his life now.
Why is Athena interested in him?
Why does Bryon trust him?
Does he encounter the black knight again?
Will there be conflicts he will face that can result in him not existing?
Will he remain true to himself?
How he is supposed to live now. Since he doesn't have his friends to solve things when he messes up.
John and his friends helped each other. One person covers another person's weakness. They worked very well.
But in this world, he is all by himself. He doesn't have any advantage and support for his survival
If he messes up even once he might not exist anymore. Survival is very important.
He doesn't understand the reasons why the villainess is so easygoing and weird. To others, she will be ruthless. But Is she ruthless and why does she favor him that much?
Sure the villainess picks up her soldiers wisely. But is there any significance in picking him?
Above everything else, John is terrified about his fate in the new world.
This world will be so cruel to him. It demands the best out of them.
He had no choice but to remain confident if he wanted to exist.
So how is the chapter? And I am sorry for the late arrival. I had some work in real life. Did you enjoy it? Just comment
