Chapitre 2: Princess Mangou
[Agadez, Kingdom of the Elves]
Agadez is a kingdom hidden in ancient forests, inaccessible to non-elves due to enchantments. Centennial trees and sparkling waterfalls dominate the landscape, with cities built in the treetops and along the branches, harmoniously integrated into nature. Suspended bridges and spiral staircases connect the different levels of this vertical society.
Houses, carved from living wood, open onto aerial terraces, offering spectacular views of the forest. Pain pulsed in every fiber of Simon's being as he slowly emerged from darkness. His thoughts were blurry, his senses confused. The last clear memory was of a boy in danger, of a frantic race to save a life.
Simon, who had closed his eyes and awaited death, suddenly felt disoriented. He saw two blurry shadows that seemed like giants to him, and he felt like his body had become strange. Strangely, he seemed to be screaming despite himself. He immediately realized that he was reincarnated.
Although he was only a child, Simon felt excitement that he hadn't felt in a while. He hoped that the world he was reincarnated into was a world of magic. It would be great if he had a system that would allow him to cheat. After all, although Simon was a student at Oxford, he still remained an Otaku deep down.
Simon suddenly saw a green light coming from what seemed to be someone's hand. Lana was looking curiously and lovingly at the little baby she had just given birth to. Her joy couldn't be described by a word, but in her joy, one could also find a hint of grief and sadness. She no longer had news of her husband, who had left in a convoy to the human kingdom some time ago.
[Diffa, Kingdom of Humans, in the princess's chamber.]
Situated in a vast plain, Diffa is surrounded by high walls, protecting its citizens from external dangers. The capital, in the center, is a hub of commerce and politics, with lively markets, imposing palaces, and varied residential quarters. Agriculture and trade are the pillars of the human economy, with fertile lands surrounding the capital and trade routes extending across the kingdom.
At the moment of Simon's birth, Princess Mangou was meditating when she suddenly opened her eyes. Her intuition, which allowed her to see the world more clearly than people her age, told her that something important had just happened. She had the feeling that it was something capable of changing the entire world.
She screamed in anguish, knowing that something had just happened, and she was aware of it but didn't really know the reason. The entire royal palace was immediately alerted. The royal guards were somewhat panicked. The reason for their panic was that although Princess Mangou was only a six-year-old girl, she was the most talented human to exist. She had awakened her talent at the age of four, like all humans, but she had awakened two talents, although it was surprising, it was not unprecedented.
The most surprising thing was the talents she had acquired. It was the SSS+ rank talent "Swordsman's Heart" and the S+ rank talent "Intuition." It's worth noting that more than 1000 years had passed since the last time humans had awakened an S-rank talent.
There wasn't even an S+ rank talent before Mangou. Seeing the guards bursting into her room, Mangou knew she had messed up. She let out a sigh and said, "Sorry, I felt like something important had happened without knowing the reason." The guards were finally relieved and didn't dare to ask out of curiosity. The princess was already willing to tell them why she had screamed.
The king was informed about the intuition that the princess had and the fact that she requested a meeting with him.
