Z-MON X: Reborn Into Another World

The two of them arrived at the town. The atmosphere was a lot more different from the medieval style of Ruina. This city had an ancient greek style to it from the construction of the buildings down to the dressing that they wore there. The two of them stood out. 

Zaneff:...There's a lot of people here...

Shiebe: Don't worry I'm here.

He said that to reassure her but he himself felt the same way as she did. He wanted to be as social as possible as he wasn't able to in his past life but was still not prepared to go to a place filled with a lot of people. 

???: Hey look over their, The Monarch has arrived.

A rather important looking man rode on a horse followed by an army of men also on horses carrying spears. People made a path for them whilst cheering them on.

"Make Way, Make Way The Monarch of Life is here."

Shiebe: Who's that

Zaneff: ..You don't know the Monarch of Life. He's one of the members of the council of hope. He's the ruler of this entire continent as well...He's incredibly powerful as well..

Shiebe was surprised by Zaneff knowledge. He figured that she was an uneducated girl who was a slave at a young age. 

Shiebe: I see...Council of hope. I should tell him about what happened.

Shiebe grabbed Zaneff and headed towards the crowd. He had to get his attention somehow but didn't know how. He thought about using his powers to draw attention towards him but it would probably do more harm than good. 

-Damn. What should I do-

Shiebe not paying attention to his surroundings had finally realised that the crowd had stopped cheering. In fact they all looked at him. 

The man was no longer moving forward but instead looking at Shiebe. He got off his horse and headed towards them. 

Monarch of Life: You two are not from here. That girl's clothes are dirty and you have scratched all over you. I assume you had run into trouble yes?

Shiebe:...

For some reason the Monarch could not take his eyes off Shiebe's. It was as if it was drawing him in and before he knew it his hand was reaching out for Shiebe's. 

*SMACK*

-The hell is he trying to do-

"W-What the hell do you think you're doing boy"

"That's the Monarch you're touching. One of the most powerful beings in this world"

The crowd was in an uproar. 

Monarch of Life: Enough...The two of you are to come with me to my kingdom. It's not far from here and will provide you with clothes and a shelter..only if you wish to come.

Shiebe had his doubts about the man. If it was him alone he would have rejected the offer immediately but he had to also think about Zaneff's wellbeing. He couldn't be selfish and it didn't seem to be that bad of an offer.

Shiebe: Hey Zaneff should we go?

Zaneff:..Uhm...y-yes I would like to go if you don't mind..

Shiebe: Well..You have your answer.

Monarch of Life: Excellent. Enter into my carriage and we shall be off.

The two of them entered the carriage. It was what you would have expected it to look like with some who has the status of a Monarch.

The carriage started to move. 

Shiebe couldn't help but look at the view outside. It was amazing. Huge white pillars standing on the sea connecting what seemed to be a railroad. Buildings made out of gold and silver.

It was hard to imagine that a city like this could exist. It seemed like it wasn't a world purely based on the medieval era. 

Monarch of Life: Ah, ,yes these buildings were , made thousands of years ago. These are nothing compared to the sights at my Kingdom though. 

Shiebe: I see..

The monarch noticed Shiebe's distrust in him because of the event that had occurred prior. 

Monarch of Life: Listen, I meant no harm..Your eyes are..special..especially your left eye. I felt interested in you and couldn't let you die out here in the middle of nowhere so I thought I should invite you to my palace.From your clothing I assume you are from a royal class yes?

Shiebe: Shiebe Zackaria. 

The monarch's eyes widened.

Monarch of Life: HUH!! Y-Your Shiebe Zackaria..I see.. that explains everything... I heard about the attack in the city. A lot of people were kidnapped and taken from there home's and it seemed like your parents were nowhere to be found.

Zaneff who had stayed quiet until now looked at Shiebe in surprise

Zaneff:..Your pare-

Shiebe: I see.

-I understand it now. The situation is clear now. How could I be so stupid to assume that they would waiting for me at home all safe and sound. The council of despair where they after my parents? or was it something else that they were looking for. That guy also mentioned that a new god had been reborn.-

Monarch of Life: ..It's not easy to hear such news at a young age. I feel sorry for you far away from home and no idea where your parents are.

Shiebe: I'm sure that they are fine. From all the stories my dad told me about him and my mother they are strong warriors. They wouldn't let themselves be killed especially when my mother is pregnant.

Monarch of Life: HUH! Y-your mothers pregnant!

Zaneff: Shiebe..

Monarch of Life: Hey. Your Zaneff Feronia De Louch aren't you... I knew I recognised you somewhere. 

Zaneff:...

Shiebe: You know her?

Monarch of Life: Of course. The famous daughter of Sir Luios De Louch is one of the strongest member in the council of hope. It's said that her siblings are extremely powerful prodigies and are on set to becoming the strongest family overtaking the Zacakria's. Why are you here as well. Last time I heard your mother sent you to Deronomy Academy. 

Zaneff did not answer or even look at the man. 

Monarch of Life: I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me if you don't want t-

Zaneff: N-N-no.. I will tell you what happened... I-it's only fair after all since I learned about Shiebe's story.

The sun was beginning to set causing a beautiful sunset outside lighting up the carriage.

***

3 Years ago, 

Zaneff aged: 4

The girl was studying in her room as she had loved to. Books were the only thing that had kept her company in her isolated life. Her older siblings no longer lived in the house whilst her younger siblings were still babies and only remained by her mother. 

It was just her, the maids and her mother and father. Most of the time her father wouldn't be at home so it was mainly her and her mother. 

One day when the girl was reading a book a knock could be heard from the door. 

It was her mother which had surprised the girl as she would never come to her room to see her personally. 

"Is everything okay mother?"

The woman gave the mother a cold look and placed a letter on the girls table. 

"Make sure you read it and get ready."

She left the room. The girl not wasting any time opened the letter. She was curious of what it could have been.

"H-huh..This. What is this."

The letter had invited the girl to a boarding school a long way from home. 

It was a school for 'gifted children'. 

At first the girl was shocked but then realised that if it's for gifted children then it means that her mother sees potential in her. 

The girl packed up all her stuff and headed out on horse back.It took about a month for her to arrive.

The girl had realised that the academy wasn't really an academy at all. It is more of a workhouse. They did offer lessons and food but most of your time would be working hard jobs such as cleaning, making clothes, making items etc... 

The teachers there often abused the kids when they messed up. The girl had suffered this for 3 years even seeing her own classmates die due to the labour. She had made up her mind that she would escape. She calculated the distance and what town to go to. 

One day, she had found her chance. The teachers were busy reading the newspaper about some city that had gotten attacked by the council of despair. The girl used this chance to leave but was caught by a group of male teachers. The girl continued to run even when she felt tired. 

She ran and kept running. 

*BOOM*

An explosion went off in the direction the girl was running towards however it did not stop her. 

"After her!"

"But that explosion!"

"It's probably nothing"

As the girl got closer to the source of the explosion she saw smoke and flames in her path as she fell from exhaustion. A figure was also standing there. 

Crimson red hair. Purple and red eyes that stood out. Elegant clothing. 

Then the men had caught up to the girl.

"Naughty girl, What have I told you..You will be punished for thi-"

???: Excuse me sir, is everything alright?
