Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

It was Neoma de Moonasterio.

[The rumors aren’t exaggerated– Princess Neoma is indeed as beautiful as the Goddess of Beauty.]

Toni Crowell didn’t expect the blasted royal princess to be there.

Moreover, she didn’t expect Princess Neoma to have a grand entrance.

The roof collapsed as if it was hit by a blunt force.

Thanks to the huge hole, Toni could see the intruders clearly.

She was told Princess Neoma was in the empire’s Royal Capital with the Quinzels. Moreover, what business did the royal princess have in the North?

Worse, the blasted princess wasn’t alone.

.....

A purple-haired young man was standing on the Thunderbird.

[That must be Ruston Stroganoff.]

A red-haired young miss was sitting sideways on a tuna-sized Blue Whale.

[And that must be Dahlia, the Black Witch.]

Lastly, the new Elemental Guardian owner.

Princess Neoma was sitting on the White Lion as if she was riding on a horse.

[The three Elemental Guardians…]

“I heard there are fuckers here who wished to summon the ‘Hell Knights’ using innocent people,” Princess Neoma said, her eyes glowing red from anger. The royal princess must be using magic that amplified her voice. “You’re in fucking luck– I will drag you all to hell today to meet those blasted Hell Knights you wanted to meet desperately.”

After saying that, the royal princess descended alone.

[But it doesn’t matter.]

“You’re already too late, Princess Neoma,” Toni said confidently. “Even if you kill me now, the Hell Knights have already been summoned. They will be here any moment.”

And after the Hell Knights arrived, the Commander of Darkness would follow.

Toni waited for Princess Neoma to respond, but the royal princess just dismounted the White Lion. Then the Elemental Guardian bowed his head before disappearing.

Huh?

[The White Lion left Princess Neoma?]

Did the royal princess just use the Elemental Guardian as a mode of transportation?

Toni was confused, even more so when she realized Princess Neoma was looking everywhere BUT HER.

[Is that princess brat ignoring me?]

“For a royal princess, you lack manners.”

“And for an insignificant minor villainess, you’re fucking loud,” Princess Neoma said, finally looking at Toni. “Are you even a real Crowell?”

Toni flinched.

To be honest, she wasn’t a Crowell yet. But she was promised to be given the family name once she succeeded in her mission.

And she was almost there!

Princess Neoma, who seemed to have realized that she guessed right, smirked haughtily. “I’m right, am I not?” she asked while walking leisurely towards her. “You don’t have the same scent as Regina, or the other Crowells that I’ve met so far.”

Toni’s instincts were telling her to run because she knew she wouldn’t be able to win, even if she fought the blasted royal princess.

[I’m not the combat type. I was only chosen to lead this operation because I know how to summon the creatures of hell. But the higher-ups assured me that this mission isn’t dangerous, but it must be done in secret. That’s why I was only allowed to bring a few guards. Hence, I had to resort to brainwashing the peasants here to guard the entrance!]

“Hey, I can smell your fear,” Princess Neoma said, laughing. “Tone it down. My sadistic sides come out when I see a trembling prey in front of me.”

[If I could, then I would have already done that!]

But Toni couldn’t even breathe properly.

Just when did the air suddenly get this… thick?

[No, it isn’t the air… it’s Princess Neoma’s bloodlust!]

Before Toni knew it, she was already on her knees while holding her throat. She couldn’t breathe. Worse, she couldn’t even open her mouth to speak.

“I have no use for you.”

Toni was shocked to hear that from Princess Neoma. She gathered her remaining strength to look up at the royal princess, but she instantly regretted it.

Princess Neoma’s glowing red eyes looked cold.

[She’s going to kill me…]

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you yet,” Princess Neoma said, turning her back on Toni. “I’ll hand you over to people who know exactly how to deal with a scum like you.”

Torture.

Toni felt shivers down her spine when she realized that Princess Neoma was going to torture her for information.

Just when she thought all hope was lost, a burst of strong negative energy filled the room.

“The Hell Knights!” Toni yelled, using the last bits of her energy to celebrate. “They’re here!”

Three armored skeletons appeared on the altar that Princess Neoma left a moment ago.

Each armored skeleton stood at least seven feet each, and they obviously weighed a lot since the platform below them was crushed.

Of course, Toni wasn’t hoping that the Hell Knights would beat Princess Neoma.

But at least, she would have time to escape while the royal princess was busy.

That was what she thought, though.

[What the hell happened?]

Princess Neoma took out her infamous pink Death Scythe, and she only swung it once.

ONCE.

The Hell Knights were beheaded in an instant, the severed skulls rolling down the floor while slowly disappearing along with their headless bodies.

And, just like that, the Hell Knights that Toni summoned for weeks vanished.

[I thought the Hell Knights would at least last thirty minutes while fighting Princess Neoma.]

“Ah, this is making me angry,” Princess Neoma said, as if she was disgusted. “If you’re going to use innocent people and beings to summon those filthy things, at least make sure they’re fucking strong. What the hell are those weakass skeletons?”

[No, you’re just too powerful, Princess Neoma…]

The Hell Knights were supposed to be immortals since they were already dead.

But perhaps, because the Death Scythe was covered in Princess Neoma’s red flame, it managed to purify the Hell Knights.

[That or it’s because Princess Neoma is simply… very strong.]

“Fuck. I shouldn’t have killed those weakass skeletons right away,” Princess Neoma complained. “I wanted to meet the Commander of Darkness and give him advice about changing his cheesy title.”

Princess Neoma wanted to meet the legendary Commander of Darkness? The Commander of Darkness existed during the Ancient Period, yet the royal princess spoke like she was only talking about wanting to meet a neighbor.

[How arrogant.]

That was the last thing that entered Toni’s mind before she slowly lost consciousness.

[Princess Neoma didn’t even lift a finger and yet… I… dammit…]

***

NEOMA WAS utterly disgusted while looking around for what seemed like a prayer room.

She went straight to that place where she felt the strongest dark energy coming from. And that was how she met Toni Crowell.

Ah, she also met the Hell Knights and killed them. Since those things were already considered dead, her pink Hellgate didn’t appear. After all, the pink Hellgate would only appear if she killed living beings.

Anyway, she got annoyed as soon as she heard those weakass skeletons talk.

<“Are you the offering?”>

That was what the weakass skeletons said as soon as they saw her.

[Offering, my foot.]

There were tons of diamonds around the altar.

.....

[Those diamonds must be the real offerings.]

Tsk.

“Tteokbokki, come out,” Neoma said, summoning her Soul Beast. “Grab that wench and bring her to Jasper oppa.”

Tteokbokki appeared in his human form, then he grabbed Toni Crowell by the leg. “Do I just bring this filthy thing to Jasper Hawthorne?”

She nodded. “Jasper oppa would know how to deal with that wench.”

“Okay,” Tteokbokki said, his body disappearing along with Toni Crowell. “See you later, thug princess.”

“Bye-bye.”

[“Babe, are you done there?”]

Obviously, it was Ruto.

Her anger melted a bit upon hearing her man’s voice.

Since Neoma, Ruto, and Dahlia were working together at the moment, they decided to open a link to each other’s minds as a means of communication.

“Yes, babe,” Neoma said. She was already done looking around. “I already got rid of the Hell Knights. But there’s nothing but diamonds and other expensive stuff in this prayer room. How about your location?”

She was the only one who went to the prayer room because she was enough.

[“I already destroyed the barrier here, and Miss Dahlia is currently evacuating the victims.”]

“How about the brainwashed townspeople? Are they putting up a fight?”

[“Miss Dahlia is dealing with them accordingly.”]

“Okay,” she said. She trusted Dahlia, so she knew she didn’t have to worry about the victims. Even if the townspeople were putting up a fight, the Black Witch would never kill them. “Where are you?”

[“I’m in the room where the fake Elemental Guardian is locked up. Do you want to see it?”]

“Not really, but I want to see you.”

[“…”]

“Heh,” she said teasingly. “Did I make your heart flutter, babe?”

[“You know that Miss Dahlia can also hear us, don’t you?”]

Neoma just pouted.

[“I-It’s fine with me!”] Dahlia said, obviously in a panic. [“Please don’t mind me and just continue… uhm, f-flirting with each other…”]

Now Neoma was embarrassed to carry on.

[Gosh. Dahlia is too nice for her own good.]

[“Thank you for being considerate, Miss Dahlia,”] Ruto said indifferently. [“I’ll send Veton to pick you up, Neoma.”]

“Okie-dokie~”

Neoma only had to wait for a few seconds.

Veton, the Thunderbird now the size of a small bird, appeared and sat on her shoulder.

The next thing she knew, her body was already disappearing.

Then POOF.

Neoma felt like she was falling as her body was being transported into a different place, but she didn’t panic.

After all, someone caught her right away.

Neoma smiled while wrapping her arms around Ruto’s neck. “Nice catch, babe.”

“Are you alright?” Ruto asked with a hint of worry in his voice. “Your bloodlust leaked out.”

“That’s nothing new. I’m always mad when dealing with the crows…”

Huh?

Neoma trailed off when she saw the magnificent creature behind Ruto.

[Duckie, you idiot! What do you mean by ‘horse?!’]

Well, it was a horse.

With wings.

And a single horn on its forehead.

Neoma covered her mouth with her hands when she gasped, her eyes brimming with tears. Of course, those were tears of joy. “A unicorn!”

The fake Elemental Guardian was a beautiful unicorn!
