Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Novel

A flock of white feather birds is flying through the sky. Their wings flapping ever so gently as they used the currents of the wind to stay afloat as they glide amongst the clouds. The temperature today was not so bad. I could still wear a t-shirt even though cooler weather was right around the corner.

As of now, as I watch the clouds from up close while shading my eyes from the sun that was high in the sky, I was feeling a bit excited. In front of me, as I take in the sights around me, is a large metal gate much taller than myself. This would be the gate that I will be coming and going through from now on. This was the gate to my new home.

“Faith, get in the carriage. We still have a few minutes before we reach the front door.” Adel yelled out. It was not just me who was moving in today either. There are another three carriages here lined up, one behind the other. One was mine. Another was Adel’s, and the third was Prince Lances._-.

Sophie, Sei, and the maids also all came as well, but since I had my inventory, I just stored all our luggage in there so we could all sit in one carriage. This reduced the need for any more carriages.

I turned and looked at Adel, who seemed to be in a hurry, and sighed. I slowly began walking back to the carriage. “I just wanted to take it all in!  You saw how small my home was.”

“I know, but we have so much to do today.” Adel was right. We still had a lot to do. Mainly Sei and I had a lot to do. Because I was in charge of protecting the only princess and the crown prince of this kingdom, I had to ensure the house and the property they lived in was thoroughly protected.

That meant creating many magical defense systems from barriers to other kinds of traps. While I really doubt anyone will be able to break through the barrier I planned to set up since it will be continuously strengthened with my magic as I plan to form a link to the core, but one can never be too careful. And I had quite a few traps planned out. Like using illusions to create pitfalls. A riddle maze where people will need to solve the questions in order to continue on.

One of those riddles I planned to put in was taken from a show I watched once back on Earth. I guess the host of the show was some famous chef, but he was quite funny when he got mad at people. The question for one of the riddles would show an image of two slices of bread, followed by the question: “What are you!?” I started laughing when I heard the answer

But besides that, I planned to do things like making a wash basin fall on people’s heads. Logs that swing in from out of nowhere and the old trip line that blows everything up in the area when you trip the trap. You know the usual.

As the carriage pulled through the gate, what entered my view was a wide open front lawn or more like a meadow. There was a single large tree that sat in the middle of this meadow that had a bench swing hanging from one of its limbs that was big enough to fit five people. While it seemed peaceful, the coup de gra of the whole thing was the large brick and mortar style house that had an Earthling western style feel to it.

What amazed me the most about this place was that it had four floors, and this was just the above ground area. It made me wonder just how many floors were underground. I was kinda hoping for like two or three underground, so I could have a secret lab. You know, like in those fantasy s where either the heroes or the villains had an underground base of operations to do all their experiments?  I wanted something like that so I could train in magic that I did not want others taking notice of or even creating some kind of secret weapon. I was thinking of creating the ultimate idiot smasher. This way, when idiots appear, I can just smash them.

This came to mind when I remembered the rabbit girl that Prince Rythilin had at his side. She had a massive hammer that looked wonderful for smashing idiots. Luckily I did not have to go far to find an idiot to try it out on because Prince Lance was moving in as well. I am sure if I asked nicely, he would allow me to give him a few whacks. Of course, I am joking. If I ever did such a thing, he would be squashed like a bug. So Unless he truly did something that would be considered an idiot move, I will keep the testing to only the idiots that appear before me.

I do wonder, though, if the nobles will try to break into the new house or not. The whole plan was to use Adel and Prince Lance as bait which was why they moved in with me. While I still have my misgivings about this, I will do everything in my power to make sure Adel is safe and, if I have time, Prince Lance too. But I will say if something bad happens, I might lose myself to my ancient will if I get too angry. Such emotions as hate and sadness might just break it from its chains and send me spiraling down a path I can not return from. This thought alone scared me greatly to the point that I have been checking for any signs of my ancient will the past few nights since the King brought this all up. I still have the images burned into my mind since the fortune telling. The pain and sorrow I had in my eyes and the menacing smile I had on my face at that time. I do hope none of it will ever come true. While my life may be long, I do wish to enjoy the present with the friends I have made and cherish the time I will have with everyone.
