Re;Kingdom, Starting a Life with Amnesia from Zero

Arc 3 – “Kingdom of Future” – Capital Arc

EX Chapter 3 – “Day of Queen Felt”

Felt : “N-Nha?”

Felt opened her eyes and found herself in a bright white room. It was quite a luxurious place.

Felt : “Where am I? Hello!”

Suddenly, the nice, white wooden door opened. A handsome man with flaming red hair and sky blue eyes entered the room.

Reinhard : “Hello Felt. My name is Rein-”

Immediately, Felt started searching around her, ignoring Reinhard, trying to find a weapon.

Felt : “Where is my knife? Where am I? Where is Nathan!?”

Reinhard : “Please, calm down. Everything is alright. I brought you here because it seems you have–”

Felt : “Stop fucking around! Where is Nathan?! Nathan is the only family member I have left!”

Reinhard : “It appears it wasn’t the best choice to bring you here without your only family member. I apologize for that. But can you let me talk before making assumptions? I didn’t brought you here to harm anyone.”

Felt : “A-Ah… Is… Nathan fine?”

Reinhard : “Nathan is alright. Emilia healed him. He’s currently with her and Jens at the Roswaal Mansion.”

Felt : “She’s under the Clown’s wing?”

Reinhard : “Ah… It appears you know Roswaal L Mathers.”

Felt : “Yes, I saw some posters of him in the slums.”

Reinhard : “I see, that’s interesting. Well… prepare yourself, because what I am about to say may be a bit hard to understand but–”

Reinhard took a breathe and Felt stared him in the eyes.

Reinhard : “It appears you have the necessary qualities to become the 42nd King of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica.”

Felt : “W-What?! How is that even possible?”

Reinhard : “I have no idea. I send Flam Remendis and Grassis Remendis searching for clues in the Library of the Palace.”

Felt : “B-But that’s impossible. My parents abandoned me in the slums and Nathan raised me when he was five years old or so. He gave me the name ‘Felt’. He taught me how to fight and how to live! I have no relationship to royalty!”

Reinhard : “I see. So you don’t know your surname?”

Felt : “I don’t have anything fancy like that!”

Reinhard : “So that’s the case. Understood. As someone with the necessary qualities, I can’t release you.”

Felt : “WHAAAAAAAT?!”

Felt stood up and dashed towards the door, however Reinhard reacted faster and stopped her.

Reinhard : “I can’t let you go. I must make you my Queen of Lugnica.”

Felt : “B-But I refuse to even participate in something fancy like that!”

Suddenly, Felt remembers a scene of her past. Quite a tragic scene.

※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※

It was a very dark room. The windows were closed and it was around the time that the two of them should already be in bed.

A girl with beautiful gold hair and blood red eyes sits at the floor. A boy with light green hair sits at the table, she noticed sorrow in his beautiful eyes.

Felt : “N-Nathan… W-Why are you so sad?”

The young girl, around ten years old looks at the crying Nathan. The boy smashes his fist against the table.

He walks towards Felt, going on his knees and talks to her.

Nathan : “I-I don’t want to live like this anymore. F-Felt… There will be one day that you have to make a really important choice. A choice that will change my life, your life, our lifes!”

The boy takes a breath and—

Nathan : “It’s up to you what you’ll choose, but remember that I’ll always stay with you. What ever choice you make, I will forever love you and I’ll stay on your side for eternity. Even if it feels wrong, we can overcome those situations together!”

Felt : “N-Nathan, why this…. out of a sudden?”

Nathan : “I may have been your guardian for the years you were alive, but I have done mistakes I should never have done… I… I am the reason we are here like this! So please, when you get the choice to change our lives, take it and I’ll follow you. You’re the only one that is able to change this world!”

※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※

Felt : “A-Ah…”

Reinhard : “Is something wrong Felt?”

Felt : “I-It’s nothing… I’ll participate in your stupid election!”

Reinhard : “Ah! It appears you made the greatest choice in your life!”

Felt : “But I don’t have a knight or anything like that, or my own team!”

Reinhard : “You got Nathan, when we’ll find him, he’ll join. But for now, I’ll act like your Knight until you disagree with it.”

Felt : “Ah…Hahaha… What are you, a slave of Fate?”

Reinhard : “You can call it that, but I’ll rather call myself the Sword Saint, Reinhard van Astrea.”

The door behind Reinhard opens again, this time multiple people enter the room.

Reinhard : “I already made a small Camp for the Felt Camp!”

Felt : “W~Who are these people?”

Two girls entered the room, they were around the age of twelve. Without a doubt, they were twins. Both had exact same clothes and both had peach colored hair with beautiful yellow eyes.

Flam : “My name is Flam Remendis, the granddaughter of the great Carol Remendis.”

Grassis : “My name is Grassis Remendis, the granddaughter of the great Grimm Fauzen.”

The two girls talked together. They were the granddaughters of a couple, a couple that exists of Carol Remendis and Grimm Fauzen, two names unfamiliar to Felt.

Felt : “Your grandparents, who were they? It seems the name of them is quite popular, but I don’t actually know who they were or are.”

Flam : “My grandmother was the guardian and bodyguard of the former Sword Saint and a Roswaal.”

Grassis : “My grandfather was a warrior that participated in the Demi Human War and fought against the Wolf of The Empire.”

Reinhard : “Indeed. Their Grandparents are great people.”

The Demi Human War… A war that lasted for ten years roughly 50 to 40 years earlier. Due to the actions of the Witch of Envy, Half-Elves and other half races were considered to be heretical, with the prejudice extending to Demi-humans themselves. Amidst all of that, a Demi-human village was involved in a conflict with a Human village, and at a peace conference, those sent from the castle were assassinated, leading both sides to claim that it was the other side’s fault.

The conflict eventually grew until it spread across Lugnica, lasting until the Demi-humans admitted that it wouldn’t benefit anyone to keep on fighting, though they still claimed not to be responsible for the assassination. The decision to end the war was considered to have brought about by the Sword Saint’s actions. Damage from the war existed deep within people and people still harbor prejudice against half races even if it isn’t spoken aloud.

Felt : “I am familiar with the Demi Human War, but what about the Wolf of the Empire. I am not familiar with that term.”

Grassis : “The Wolf of The Empire… Is his title. He went by the name of Stride Volakia. He was some kind of an mysterious individual in the Empire. But he stated that he would destroy the Dragon Kingdom. He summoned the Black Dragon and attacked us. My grandfather and others fought against him and succeeded in stopping of him.”

Felt : “Ah~ What happened to him in the end?”

Flam : “He ran away. Wilhelm van Astrea fought against him and almost succeeded in killing him, but he disappeared from the world.”

Felt : “Understood! Then… I got one more question. Who are you?”

Felt pointed at a woman.

She is a rather thin girl who has light green hair, that curves upwards, giving it an impression of feathers. Her hair is light green and she also has golden eyes. She has a long, white coat with the zipper. She also wears knee-length white pants.

Aestas : “My name is Aestas Toto! I am a servant here, but after I heard the news, I decided that it’s time to fight again!”

Reinhard : “Well let’s hope that fighting will be unnecessary in the future. There is no need for violence unless we are forced to use it.”

Felt : “I like that statement Reinhard. So what are we going to do today?”

Reinhard : “I’ll give you a look around the place we are at right now. Then we’ll search for more people to join your Camp. After that, we’ll go back to the mansion and take a rest. You require rest after the battle against the Blood Hunter.”

Felt : “Ah I see… So what about the big ceremony that was coming. How long until that?”

Reinhard : “I might have bad news, as it seems you don’t know. You were unconscious for a few days. The Ceremony is in two days.”

Felt : “A-Ah?!”

Aestas : “That’s true! I guarded your room like I promised. You slept like an angel!”

Felt : “N-No need to make it creepier than it’s supposed to be!”

Reinhard : “It seems you like your camp already, don’t you?”

Felt : “As long I can reunite with Nathan, I am fine with this.”

Reinhard : “Alright. Nathan will be at the ceremony most likely. So prepare for that. Now, Aestas, Flam and Grassis, please go, me and Felt will go take a look around the Astrea Mansion.”

With him saying that, the three of them left.

Reinhard : “Are you ready?”

Felt : “Count me in Rein!”

Reinhard left the room and Felt followed him. They entered a library, with at the very end of the library a family tree.

Felt : “Who are these people?”

Reinhard : “This family tree is the Astrea Family. That tree near it is the Lugnician Royal Family.”

Felt skimmed through the Astrea Family and noticed some interesting names.

Reid Astrea, The First Sword Saint and The Stick Swinger.

Fribal van Astrea, The Sword Saint and the Master Swordsman.

Theresia van Astrea, The Sword Saint and The Greatest Grim Reaper.

Wilhelm van Astrea, the Sword Demon.

Felt : “If I understand this right, Theresia van Astrea and Wilhelm van Astrea are your grandparents, right?”

Reinhard : “Yes. But let’s not talk about them. Sorry if that sounds rude, but I rather not talk about my grandmother. She died tragically and I carry the burden of her Death.”

Hearing this, Felt shook. She felt sad for Reinhard and looked at the other family tree.

Fourier Lugnica, The 4th Prince of Lugnica. The Unforgettable

Jet Lugnica, The 42nd King of Lugnica.

Reading all of that, Felt notices things she isn’t familiar with.

Felt : “Oy Rein. What’s up with the Princes, The titles and what’s with Ymir Lugnica?”

Reinhard : “The Princes were the ones that succeeded in gaining the qualities of the Lion King. The qualities are unknown and the Lion King title remains a secret for the citizens for an unknown reason. The Titles are what they’re known for. Example is Hector Lugnica, the Sacrificer. He sacrificed his life to remain in peace with Volakia.”

Felt : “Aha! And Ymir?”

Reinhard : “She is the only one who’s title is forgotten…”

Felt : “That’s quite strange. Jet Lugnica is the current King, so I assume he’ll get his title after he passes away, right?”

Reinhard : “Completely correct Felt-sama!”

Felt : “Alri— What was that? Don’t call me with sama!”

Reinhard : “But you are my princess and the successor of the throne. You must be referred with the highest possible.”

Felt : “W-Well! I don’t like it! Anyway, back to the tour Rein.”

Reinhard : “Of course.”

The two of them left the library and arrived at the dining hall. It had a beautiful chandelier, around twenty chairs and a nice fire place. It also had a painting above the fire place which Felt assumed was the first Sword Saint, Reid Astrea.

There were two individuals there, both unknown to Felt.

Reinhard : “Let me introduce you to Grimm Fauzen and Carol Remendis.”

Both of them looked quite old.

The female, Carol Remendis had blonde hair and green eyes, wearing a white dress.

The male, Grimm Fauzen had purple hair and green eyes, wearing a tuxedo.

Grimm : “Ah! So this is Felt-sama? You’re a cute one, let me say that!”

Carol : “You pervert! Anyway, it’s nice to meet you Felt-sama.”

Felt : “A-Ah… The same here. It’s nice to meet the two of you. But why are the two great warriors here?”

Reinhard : “Well, after they retired from their Knighthood, they decided to serve the Astrea Family, out of honor for my grandparents.”

Felt : “Ah, alright then. But Rein, I got one more question.”

Felt looked at Reinhard and so did he at her.

Felt : “Where are your parents? There has to be someone who takes care of you, right?”

Right then, the Sorrow in Reinhard’s eyes appeared. A face of despair, eyes filled with melancholy.

Reinhard : “My… Family situation is quite complicated.”

Felt : “Mind telling me? I want to… You know… Understand you.”

Reinhard : “Wilhelm van Astrea… Theresia van Astrea… my grandparents loved each other a lot. One day, Theresia agreed on fighting the Sin Archbishop of Greed, Regulus Corneas. However, when she encountered him, her Sword Saint powers were transferred to me… She became unable to beat him, and died, she died. She turned to ashes and died. However, my father was actually supposed to fight him, but the man was afraid of fate, so my grandmother accepted the fight. Since that day, Wilhelm… My grandfather has accused me for killing her.”

Felt : “Oh my god…!”

Reinhard : “One year later… My mother, Louanna Astrea entered a coma, and she hasn’t returned from it yet. My father, Heinkel Astrea blames me for this. Since then, my father started searching joy in alcohol and—”

??? : “Guess who is home you fuck faces!”

A man entered the dining hall, he is a muscular man with short red hair, blue eyes and a stubble beard. He wears a black tabard with brown shoulder plates and chest armor, along with a dark cape, brown pants, gloves and black boots.

He has a bottle of alcohol in his face, and it was easy to say that he was drunk.

Heinkel : “Oh? Is thiii~s Felt? The Princess! How cute you are, my naaa~me is Heinkel. Wanna hang out? You want a sip?”

Felt : “Ah! Gross! Disgusting!”

Reinhard : “Father, please go to bed. It appears you had enough alcohol for today.”

Heinkel : “Speaa~k for yourself you fucker. If the love of my life wasn’t in this state I wouldn’t be like this. It’s all your fault Reinhard.”

Carol : “Heinkel, I am with Reinhard on this one. Please go to bed, it’s horrible to see you like this.”

Grimm : “Do you want me to bring you to —”

Heinkel : “You shitbags, as if! Haha! Time to give my sleeping beauty a kiss.”

Heinkel walked away and Reinhard looked sad at the ground.

Felt : “A-Ah… I feel… Sorry Reinhard.”

Reinhard : “It’s okay. After all, it’s my burden, not yours.”

Grimm : “I am going to take a look if it’s going alright with him.”

Carol : “Yes, I’ll go with you. Our apologies, but we’ll be vacant for tonight.”

Just like that, Reinhard and Felt were again the only ones at the Dining Hall.

Felt : “Reinhard… I feel seriously bad for you.”

Reinhard : “Don’t feel bad. It’s alright. What about some sparing instead of going to the capital? I think that can be fun too.”

Felt : “Ah, sure!”

Reinhard and Felt left the Mansion. Felt looked around and saw beautiful flower beds around, with one giant lake, a statue and more.

They walked down the white stairs and Felt saw beautiful flowers, trees and nature.

Felt : “Beautiful! I can even see the capital from here!”

Reinhard grabs Felt and carries her in his arms.

Reinhard : “Can you see it better this way?”

Felt : “REINHAAAAAAAAARD! NO NEED FOR THIIIS!”

She jumped out of his arms.

Felt : “Gross! Don’t do that- Like ever!”

Reinhard : “Ah… I am sorry, I thought you wanted to see the environment better.”

Felt : “It’s fine… So… Who’ll be my first target?”

Reinhard : “Let’s go to the Proving Flower Grouds, that is where everyone trains.”

The walked for two minutes and arrived at some kind of small island on a lake. There were blue trees which had mana in them. Flowers and minor spirits were everywhere.

Reinhard : “Let me summon your first target!”

Reinhard snapped his eyes and….

Aestas : “Ah! It’s my turn?”

Felt : “Aestas!”

Aestas : “Yep! That’s me! Just a reminder, you can’t die on this island, but you can get injured, so I’ll do my best!”

Felt : “A-Ah!? So it’s like that! Understood!”

Reinhard : “Felt, when you want to quit, tell–”

Felt : “I ain’t a quitter! I ain’t a loser! I will be victorious this battle! But before we start, Aestas, what kind of warrior are you?”

Aestas : “Meet my weapon! It’s the Nakuri Scythe, The Demon Beyond the Great Waterfall!”

Aestas grabbed a giant scythe. It had a demonic eye on it and was mostly dark brownish red.

Aestas : “This is my weapon. It’s mostly my source of power. But don’t be fooled. I am strong without it! It’s a Demon Blade, which means it possesses a Soul! Thousands of years ago, predating the Dragon, Nakuri, a young boy with red eyes and red hair was born in a village of Demon Humans. Nakuri grew up in an town near Hakuruchuri and enjoyed his freedom, undisturbed by anyone. He was praised and admired by everyone as he was the knight of the town. Nakuri soon became the leader of the town and started to receive money, material and alcohol from the citizens. Over time, people started to hate Nakuri and called him a slothful leader and decided to assassinate him. He noticed that people entered his palace and grabbed his weapon, a scythe, and started fighting them. As he was a well known knight, he didn’t catch a scrath. He killed everyone in the town just so he could rest. However, the souls of the Demon villagers got soaked into the scythe. Suddenly, a bright light absorbed Nakuri into the scythe and made him disappear. The scythe fell on his throne and waited until someone helped him.”

Nakuri : “That’s RIGHT!”

Hearing the voice, the scythe started to talk.

Felt : “ALRIGHT THEN! TIME TO FIGHT!”

Reinhard threw the knife that Felt owned and she catched it.

Aestas : “Alright then! Hear my Demons! I need your—”

Nakuri : “STRENGTH!”

Out of nowhere, Aestas’ eyes changed to a bright blue color and so did the scythe.

Felt : “Aha!”

Aestas dashed towards Felt, trying to go for a hit, Felt jumped into a hair and kicked Aestas in the face, launching her a few meters back.

Aestas : “NOT BAD! BUT I WANT MORE MY FELT!”

Felt : “Stop acting that psycho!”

Aestas ran towards Felt, however Felt created a wall of Wind Magic with her blade and actually scratched Aestas’ arm.

Aestas : “Fuck! You’re a strong one!”

Felt : “Time for me! FURA!”

Felt started firing Wind Magic, however Aestas was acrobatic, and actually managed to dodge all the attacks.

Felt : “F-Fuck!”

Aestas : “Nakuri! What about a Dark Star?”

Nakuri : “EXCELLENT!”

Aestas dashed towards Felt, making Felt throw her knife towards her, but she disappeared.

Felt looked around and couldn’t see a trace of her, until she looked into the air, seeing a floating Aestas.

Immediately, Aestas released a shockwave of energy and dashed through Felt, succeeding in actually injuring her.

Felt : “AH! You FUCKER!”

Right then, Felt dashed forward. She released an irregular gust of wind. Tornados and typhoons were created around the small island and for a few seconds, Aestas was actually clueless about what was going on.

Reinhard : “THAT CANNOT BE!”

The leaves in the trees started to fall off and a window broke at the Mansion, the power of that dash was that powerful.

After only two seconds, Felt appeared right behind Aestas and released a shockwave of wind energy, cutting Aestas right through the middle and creating giant waves at the lake, partly destroying the island and its bricks.

However, the island remained a safe place, and Aestas returned from her death.

Felt : “Ugh… Had enough yet?”

Aestas : “IMPOSSIBLEIMPOSSIBLEIMPOSSIBLEIMPOSSIBLEIMPOSSIBLE! WHAT MAGNIFICENT POWER WAS THAT! LEARN ME ABOUT THAT!”

Reinhard : “Felt trained enough for today! Aestas, thank you.”

Aestas : “What do you–”

In a blink of an eye, Reinhard teleported Aestas away.

Felt : “What are you doing?”

Reinhard : “You have… a very legendary Divine Protection…”

Felt : “Nathan… said the same!”

Reinhard : “How did you obtain this power… The Power of Leonidas! It’s a part of the Legendary Legacy of Leo!”

Felt : “Rein, stop stressing around! It’s my Divine Protection of The Wind.”

Reinhard : “Is that how Nathan told you it’s named? Because it’s a lie, in fact. The real name remained a secret since the death of Emerada Lugnica. Jet Lugnica doesn’t have this Divine Protection, but you do?!”

Felt : “What are you trying to say?”

Reinhard : “You… Might be from the Royal Bloodline Felt-sama!”

Felt : “W-What?!”

In the meantime, the lake started to calm down and the waves started to disappear.

Reinhard : “Indeed, this might be quite troublesome if someone else finds out. Do not use that ability unless it means saving your life.”

Felt : “B-But..”

Reinhard : “Do you know what it does? Do you know anything more about it?”

Felt : “N-No…”

Reinhard : “I see… I guess it’s time to go inside.”

Felt : “Reinhard! I demand to know more!”

Reinhard : “I fear I have to refuse your order Felt.”

Felt : “W-What?! Excuse me? I am your queen!”

Reinhard : “If it means saving you, I refuse to listen to that order. Let’s go inside, go to your room, I’ll be there soon.”

Felt : “Pff! You’re the worst!”

Felt ran towards the mansion. She ran up the stairs, but before she entered her room, she saw a crying Heinkel leaving a room.

Heinkel : “Why! Why! I wish I never had him… I hate myself… This life is horrible!”

Hearing this, she waits until he goes away and enters the room where he came from.

Even though it was daytime, the windows were blocked by thick curtains, preventing any sunlight from coming in. The interior of the room was quite plain, nothing but a bed at the center of the room.

On the bed… a sleeping woman laid on the bed.

Felt analyzed her, nothing too weird, but she got worried when she noticed that the woman did not breathe like a normal sleeping person.

Felt : “W-What?! Is she… Is she d–”

She didn’t notice any presence of a living person, even if she moved closer, the woman remained dead to Felt.

Felt : “W-What is this? I can’t understand this. In fact, who is she?! D-Dont tell me this is another ‘Princess’ of Reinhard?!”

??? : “That is a terrible misunderstanding. I am sorry for–”

Felt : “GYAAAH!”

Hearing a voice from behind her made her shocked. She screamed and jumped back.

Felt : “R-REINHARD! Who is this young woman? Don’t tell me she is another woman you abducted like me!”

Reinhard sighed.

Reinhard : “She is my mother… Louanna Astrea.”

Reinhard replied quickly to Felt. That answer made Felt respond with:

Felt : “W-What?!”

The woman on the bed, she had long blonde hair, and was beautiful enough to make people’s eyes pop. At most, she seemed to be twenty years old, not older. Felt couldn’t believe that that’s her mother.

Felt : “I don’t believe that bullshit! If she was your older or younger sister, I could’ve believed you! But you’re a dirty man! You suck at lying—!”

Reinhard : “I don’t blame you for finding this hard to believe, but my mother suffers from the Sleeping Beauty sickness, and her appearance remains unchanged as she remains asleep. It’s already been seventeen years…”

Felt : “N-No… Is this your mother? Sevent-!?”

Hearing him say seventeen made Felt drop her jaw.

Felt : “Reinhard, how old are you?”

Reinhard : “I will turn twenty this year.”

Felt : “So you locked your sleeping mom here without even taking care of her?!”

Reinhard : “Those words are quite painful for me Felt… Sadly, the cause of the sickness is unknown. At the very least, should a treatment be discovered, we will act to ensure she will recuperate at a separate residence in the capital.”

Felt : “Still! You didn’t try anything to heal her?”

Reinhard : “We hired the best healer ever, the Blue, Galic Fabless. But he was unable to heal her. Because of that, my father killed him out of frustration, anger, fury and wrath. My father remained in the prison for a year for that action…”

He looked extremely sad and grabbed Felt’s arm.

Reinhard : “We are leaving. I don’t want to talk about my mother.”

The first time ever, Felt allowed Reinhard to grab her, she felt sad for him.

Reinhard : “I would appreciate if you do not disclose to anyone else about my mother’s situation. I also want you to never enter this room again.

Reinhard put her in her room and said:

Reinhard : “I am sorry for being harsh today… My family isn’t as nice as people think of. The Sword Saint family Astrea, the greatest of them all… It’s a burden, not an honor…”

Hearing this, Felt sits down on her bed and looks sad at Reinhard.

Reinhard : “I’ll see you later, Felt. I am grateful for your concerns earlier.”

Felt : “B-Bye…”

Felt looked at the ceiling and felt bad for him.

She started thinking about how hard Reinhard’s live actually is. Of course, it’s nothing compared to hers, but it’s hard. Having a family, and the situation being that complicated worried her.

“… So that’s how real family is… Before I’ll leave… I want to make Reinhard happy… But first, I need to be sure that Nathan is alright!”
