The Timorous Prince Becomes A Fierce Princess

With such sudden change on behavior of the princess, King Wenscelas frowned. Yes, he actually knew that Princess Makai was a fierce general whom considered being the strongest woman of Ophir, however, never he knew that she moved like a guy! Wasn't she an educated princess? How come she moved like a barbarian?

King Wenscelas face turned anxious when a funny question fell on to his mind.

'Was she really the former Princess? Or she was just possessed by someone?'

However…

"Ahem…" He immediately cleared his throat. Shaking all his thoughts and with his bubbly manner, he gazed on to the princess.

"For now… probably the best thing to do is to send a letter to King Asmodeus that you had risen from the dead or maybe-"

"No."

With a low voice of Makai, she halted the king from speaking.

King Wenscelas' face suddenly turned gloomy when he was slightly offended of what the princess just did. Didn't she have manners? However, he just shook those thoughts when he calmed himself that the princess must still be in shock or there must be a deep reason behind that abhorrence from her tone.

But to his astonishment…

"I am very sorry, your highness. But I would be shameful this time, please don't tell King Asmodeus that I had risen to life, and if you ever ask me why, I would say sorry now for I couldn't really tell the reason. However, I would like to seek a request from you, your ever graceful highness." Without any chance to jab some air, she staidly renounced the suggestion inferred by the King.

This time, King Wesncelas was caught in a strange accent of the princess… it was so masculine! Was she like that at the first place? She really had change!

"D-don't worry. Just tell me what your request is." He suddenly felt awkward. Why would this princess be more charming than him? With that accent plus her sweet flowery words, the princess may even seduce other princesses! That was what he argued on his bubbly mind.

"Then I would be very shameful this time." With a paused, Princess Makai looked at the king's eyes with no hint of smile or any anger.

"There were three things I wanted from you."

With such abrupt and bold confession, seems like, the king frowned and couldn't help but to gulp a mouthful of hot tea.

"First, I would like to conceal my identity as a woman. In short, I wanted to disguise myself as a guy. Second, I would like to be an ordinary loyal knight of your country. Third…" Makai threw a glance on her tea as though she was gazing on her reflection.

Then she continued…

"… I would like to change my name."

Her eyes were so calm and clear as though there was no emotion you could ever saw from her face. Such solid composure she had, the king could just let out a sigh.

However…

With such type of requests and conditions offered by the princess, the king immediately doubted that King Asmodeus maybe had connection with the princess and her family's death five years ago!

King Wenscelas immediately relaxed his tensed face.

"If that is what you want princess, how dare I refuse such request? Only I could give you help in this way. By the way, what name should you use from now on?" He knew from himself that disguising as a guy although she was the strongest general in their continent, it would be really hard. The king's look slightly frowned enough not to notice by Makai.

At instant, the thin red lips of the princess immediately curved as her eyes exuded regality when it squinted.

With her clear and soft young lass' voice, she crisply said.

"Homer. From now on, please call me, Homer."
