I could see roughly couple dozen people approaching our position. All had the same standard clothes as the Kid's bodyguard. I extended my magic power to sense hidden dangers as we were surrounded by decent foliage.

" Wow, what is all this? Uncle David really went all out. It will be fine with this much." I thought as I relaxed a little.

Oscar stood before me, shielding me with his body, while Karoline focused on Hannah and Princess. I could see that the princess was not very worried about it, even during the earlier confrontation, which was odd. I guess they have their own security measures or put too much trust in my group.

While I was lost in thought, we were surrounded by the group. They looked at us menacingly while a few went toward the Kid.

" Now that I think about it, didn't they say 'Young Miss' earlier?" I said quietly, but everyone from my group heard it.

" Young miss! are you alright? Young miss!" a frail-looking man bent down and started gently shaking the Kid; he seemed to have lost consciousness.

" What are you doing? Bring me some water right now!" He roared toward his subordinate.

As they tended to the injured, I saw people making way for someone. A sleek-looking man was staring at me while strolling toward us. He dawned a full white suit with some bling in both hands. If you look closely, you can see the gold rims on the sunglasses that he was wearing. People beside him were bowing down as he walked passed them.

He stopped a few feet from me and stared at me the whole time. He had a scary face with a thick beard and a few scars over his cheeks. He looked around to see three people lying down, but I noticed that he focused on the Kid for a few seconds. The aura he emanated was some of the strongest I had felt since I came to this world. He was definitely strong.

" You did this?" He asked nonchalantly, but there was a hint of anger.

" Yes," I answered confidently, but Oscar came before me; he seemed to know the person's identity.

" Young master will not resort to violence without a definite cause. We should avoid confrontation without verifying the facts." Oscar said, but it sounded like some mediation jargon.

" Good, spoken like a diplomat, it seems like you are making trouble inside our country. It seems like you know me." He replied but spoke in Japanese while he started taking off his suit. He let loose a few buttons and stretched his tie.

Oscar was confused, but I could see that he was nervous about facing the man or not confident.

" Kobuns, WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST? " He roared, but several chants followed suit.

" FAMILY"

" FAMILY"

" FAMILY"

" What will you do to the ones that harms your family?" He asked again.

" KILL " was loud and much more potent than before.

" You see, I don't really understand your language. Thus, there will be no conversation." He said with a wicked smile and made a mad dash toward Oscar. His bodyguard also ran toward our group. No matter how powerful Oscar and Karoline were, fighting against this many people was hard. Still, at the decisive moment, several shadows rushed toward the center of the encirclement.

One lone figure blocked the man while the other formed a protective circle around our group. It happened in a fraction of a second, which showed the prowess of the new group. Some of them also held guns pointed straight at the heads of several of the man's guards.

" Stand down Abe! "

" What? Old man why are you here?"

" What do you mean why am I here? I am here to guard the princess."

" Princess?"

" Idiot! Are you messing with me? Didn't you meet the young princess before." The old man pointed toward Kako, who was at the back.

" W-what seriously? I thought some people harassed my cute daughter, but I never knew that princess was with them." As he calmed down, the man looked completely different from before; his underling also stopped their advances. They were also confused by the arrival of a third party, but when they heard the old man, they began to sweat profusely.

" Oye, the old man said the princess right?"

" Yeah"

" I never thought I would see the princess up close; now that I think about it, she looks like one.

" What? How would you know that?"

" I mean, the air about her. But if you look at others, they also look like distinguished people."

" Oh, right. Especially that Kid with white hair. She would be a beauty when she grows up!"

" I also never seen someone with such beautiful features before."

The man's group started discussing among themselves, and like their brute appearance, they were loud about it.

" SHUT UP! Greet the princess first!" The man shouted toward the group, to which they knelt down simultaneously and shouted.

" WE GREET THE IMPERIAL PRINCESS!" to which princess Kako nodded; currently, she had a different air about her.

The man also saluted the princess while making awkward faces; the warm smile didn't suit him. The situation calmed down a little; I also saw some of our people mixed in with imperial guards. I already knew about them when I checked my surroundings earlier, but it was strange that they didn't intervene earlier. I decided to ask about it later.

" Old man, ..but .....what a-about.....my cute...." the man kept shuddering in front of the old man, but suddenly a white sandal whizzed through the air and perfectly landed on the back of the head the man.

" ABE! you piece of shit! What did you do this time?" a loud female voice resounded from the back of the group. Everyone was startled, but the man and his group froze on the spot. His face was pale, and he looked deathly scared upon hearing the voice.

A woman the same age as the man came running toward the center as everyone made way for her. She was extremely beautiful, with a fair complexion and her hair tied in a knot at the back of her head. You could call her cute, but she has an angry expression on her face right now.

She was pretty tall, almost matching the man's height, and wore the traditional kimono.

" Wait! H-honey, I can explain--" The man was in the middle of explaining, but he was hit with a flying kick which made him flung to the side. Fortunately, the woman was not wearing any heels, or he would be bleeding fountain right now. She also noticed the old man standing beside the man who went flying a few second ago.

" Master! I am sorry on behave of my husband. This idiot always creates trouble wherever he goes." She bowed toward the old man; it seemed like she was his student or something.

She also noticed the princess and greeted her immediately; she seemed knowledgeable about the old man's job. She also noticed our group, so I gave her a simple nod as she proceeded to do the same.

" If everyone is in agreement, can someone explain what the hell is happening here?" Oscar asked the question that was bugging most of us.

The old man sighed at his response, but he explained everything. Their group has been following the princess from the shadows, so they knew most about it. It took a few minutes, but we got the gist of it.

So what happened was that Hannah and princess were browsing through the flower garden as usual but bumped into Kid's guard, and they offered them some snacks or something.

The Kid got jealous and pushed Hannah in spitefulness and started berating her. Hannah was confused about the whole situation, and that's when I entered the scene. Rest, I knew as I was present but he explained it to the Kid's parents.

Some were relieved, while others shook their head to know the reason for the dispute.

" That silly girl, I warned you about not spoiling her. Look what happened!" The lady said while the man remained silent.

" You know she challenged this kid; you will not retaliate, will you?" The old man said while pointing toward me.

The man shook his head, making Karoline and Oscar sigh in relief. It was not that they were scared, but unnecessary fighting was a wasteful event.

" I didn't know that she requested a formal duel. For us, the dual is sacred, she should at least learn the concequences of such actions. I guess, she became complacent after her recent victories." the man said; he bowed lightly to express that he was sorry about his actions too. The lady also checked up on Hannah's condition.

" By the way, It's all good but we still don't know about your identities." Karoline asked.

" Ah, I am Abe Kiyama and she is my wife Shira. The brat earlier is our daughter, Aika."

Karoline and others also greeted them and introduced themselves. I found out that the old man, Enmei, was the girl's Uncle and was currently employed by the royal family mainly for security purposes.

" I am Samuel Rothschild. I am sorry about earlier too. I would never hurt a girl intentionally but I was unaware about that fact. I deeply regret my decision." I said as I lightly bowed toward the couple.

I had some suspicion, but I could never guess Akihiko from earlier was actually Aika, and unknowingly I hurt her during our bout.

" You, what are you saying? It's okay for girls to fight, right?" Abe said while his group nodded along with him.

His wife smacked him on the head.

" You bunch of stupid Idiots, Samuel is a boy's name. You don't even know this? Just when I thought you couldn't get any stupider." She began shaking her head in disappointment.

" What!"
