Once upon a time, there was a huge piece of flat land called Elrios. In that huge piece of flat land there were kingdoms all ruling over a domain. Ruben is where our story starts; the Prince of Ruben was young man by the name of Elsword. Elsword was a rather, to be blunt, stupid youthful boy. He couldn't tell between a Phoru's or Gorilla's tail, because Gorillas don't even have tails. That's how stupid our protagonist was. He had the brave heart, happily throwing himself in danger for the goodness of others. He had his strength, great skill with sword and sword magic. He also had his confidence, over confidence if you may say it….he just lacked the brains.
On the other hand, the Princess of the neighboring kingdom Elder, Aisha, was rather the opposite. She had the brains, probably too much filled into that thing, but lacked kindness most of the time being a complete tsundere and insulting people greatly after doing favors or doing a good job for them and her people. She also didn't have much of a noble heart due to her being a tsundere, not wanting to help people saying 'That's embarrassing! Especially when they thank me!', actually half of her problems were because of her being a complete tsundere. She also didn't have any strength, and by strength I mean her chest. The only thing they had in common was really the fact that they were prideful and overconfident.
Now please excuse me while I spray water over the 4th wall to put out the fire set there by the Princess.
There were a total of 6 kingdoms within the flat piece of land known as Elrios in total, Ruben Elder, Altera, Feita, Velder and Hamel. All of them being allies and peacefully co-existing with each other. That was until a very messy incident that included the kingdom of Altera and Elder. See, Altera was a rather poor kingdom with its rather low population. In fact, that was because of all the major pollution there from producing the population. In short, the population of Altera was all androids called Nasods, and the production of the population is hurting the kingdom's economy. Wow! It's like some kind of real-life country from our world, human geographically!
That was horrible to say of me, I'm sorry.
Anyways, in the Altera there was an extremely cute queen. Not only being cute but she was also an expressionless cute queen, making her all the bit cuter. The cute Altera queen was a white haired girl named Eve and she too was a Nasod like the rest of the population that was damaging the kingdom of Altera for being produced.
I just said another terrible thing, I'm sorry.
Eve the emotionless cute queen was sipping tea in her throne room while calculating how much ED her kingdom had and saw that it was running low even with the extra work of the small Pongo Villages.
"I must find a way to get more ED to fund my country and buy parts to create more Nasods so I can rebuild our kingdom." Eve muttered to herself, with no expression of course. With much thought to herself Eve finally came up with a single beautiful plan.
Eve clapped her hand once and with light speed her 2 servants, Ophelia and Oberon, appeared in front of her.
"Kidnap the Princess of Elder immediately; we are going to use ransom in order to leech money out of Elder." Eve ordered, with no real emotion in her voice.
Oberon and Ophelia nodded and dashed out the door of Eve's throne room, with Oberon tripping over the carpet. This caused Eve to shoot lasers at Oberon's butt until he got out of the room. If Oberon could make face expressions, he would be in so much pain right now, but all we can do is just have Oberon sweat a lot and jump around quickly as Eve shoots his behind with magical lasers.
Back in Elder, the Princess of Elder Aisha was strolling through the streets with 2 completely insignificant to the story servants. The completely insignificant to the story servants drooped their backs down as if someone said something really bad about them that lowered their self-esteem.
A local male florist walked up to Aisha and held up a bouquet of flowers for her. "For you, our Princess." He said to Aisha.
Aisha looked at the florist with piercing eyes, "I don't want that thing from you!" she barked at him, causing the florist to drop the bouquet and fall back at the pain of Aisha's words. Aisha looked down on the florist, and then picked up the bouquet. "Don't expect me to anything like this again." She said, turning her head away with her purple hair waving in the air as she did it.
Aisha continued to go on daily strut around town and shooting her people down with her (unintentional) mean remarks.
"Don't come near me!"
"Get those filthy hands away from me!"
"I would never accept those!"
"It's not like I came around here to see you guys or anything!"
…and so on, that was how the tsundere princess went around the town all the time.
Somehow, Aisha walked into an alley with both of her completely insignificant to the story servants not behind her. Actually they were at a local café muttering about what's the point of their life while drinking delicious happy-thought filled fruit smoothies and eating yogurt. Anyways, Aisha knocked her head on the brick wall next to her.
"AAAAH! Why do I keep saying all these horrible things to people on instinct?!" Aisha shouted to herself. Suddenly, before she even knew it, her mouth was grabbed by a gloved hand and thrown straight into a bag and carried away. This wasn't an act from the Oberon and Ophelia though, this act was created by the big thief group led by the notorious Banthus who had the exact same idea as Eve and decided to take Aisha to ransom money from the great trade kingdom.
"Hehehe! This'll make us rich boys! We'll also be extremely famous now for pulling this off!" Banthus sneered at his lackeys carrying the struggling worm known as Aisha.
"What's with this?" Aisha thought to herself. "Why the hell am I being kidnapped?"
You're the Princess of an extremely rich kingdom you should figure it out yourself, not that she can hear me.
Suddenly there was a lot of screaming, slashing, and lasers, lots of lasers. Before Aisha knew it, she was being taken out of Banthus's bag and put into a new bag. Meanwhile, Oberon and Ophelia were tying up the new bag holding Aisha and looked at the beaten and bruised Banthus and his lackeys. Oberon held up a note.
"Our heads are on stake here if we don't kidnap here. We have better reason than you. Good bye eheh!" with an unnecessary smiley face at the end of the note. Afterwards Oberon and Ophelia ran away as fast as possible to deliver the Princess to their queen.
The kidnapping of Aisha spread like wildfire throughout all 6 of the kingdoms. Since all the kingdoms were co-existing with each other, making an enemy of one kingdom means making an enemy of all of them. Unfortunately the enemy made is one of the kingdoms within the alliance. See, all the other kingdoms depended on Altera for machinery and advanced technology and if they destroyed the poor country that can somehow make advanced technology with their status. Then that would make all the kingdoms lose a great trade source. That's where the ransom letter, well, more like electronic message came in.
At Ruben, while Elsword was lazing around on his throne, sitting and reading a book upside down while putting on glasses that ruined his eyesight, one of Elsword's servants with an irrelevant to the story name burst into his throne room.
"My lord! We have this ransom letter from the Altera Queen!" he said to Elsword, bowing down.
Elsword's ears perked up at this. He slammed the upside down book shut, that was also a coloring book with no words by the way, and threw it at an expensive vase along with his glasses.
"Somebody needs help eh?! Time to show off my badass moves then!" Elsword smirked, flipping his bangs with his hands with sparkles, red fiery manly sparkles.
"Yes! It is a ransom for the Princess of Elder!" the servant with an irrelevant name to the story said.
Elsword's face went from 'burned up' to 'burned out'. He turned around and laid down on his one-seat throne as if it was a couch. "Her huh? Ah, then just send a few soldiers or something to fetch here right back. Don't even feel motivated when I even hear her title now." Elsword moaned, waving his hand unenthusiastically at his servant.
"But milord! Have you even listened to the ransom note yet?!" the servant with an irreleva-getting lazy not even gonna finish that title or add it for that matter.
"Ah really? Just play it and get out then." Elsword said in his unmotivated tone again.
The servant set a circular object that lit up when put on the ground, on the red carpet. It lit up and an image of the super cute emotionless Altera queen popped up.
"Greetings, rulers of the kingdom on the flat land known as Elrios." The hologram Eve began.
Elsword paused the message as if it was a movie. "Was the long title really necessary? I don't understand why we have to make titles extremely long in this continent. Can't we just flat out call it, Elrios? It hurts my head just to remember it." Elsword complained.
"That doesn't matter right now milord!" the servant scolded Elsword.
"Eh, whatever." Elsword continued the message.
The Eve hologram continued. "I have a request to make, I wish you all to exchange ED in order for me to return the Princess of Elder, Aisha." Eve said, and the hologram then showed the Elemental Master all tied up and was making sounds through her gagged mouth, though her eyes clearly said.
"It's not like I wanted to be here or anything alright?!"
"Ha! She's tied up!" Elsword laughed at the girl's misfortune, that's not how you treat women everybody. I'm saying this for your own good, no matter how flat chested or tsundere they are.
After a moment pause, Eve continued to speak as Aisha's eyes got narrower and narrower.
"I look forward to how you all will act to this. I'm also looking forward to the 10 billion ED for my kingdom. Now, from the data I have gathered from the storybooks I have read, I am supposed to laugh like an evil queen so…" Eve put the back of her hand up to her cheek. "Ohohohohohohoho."" Eve said with an emotionless tone and face. She did not laugh it, she said it. As soon as she finished saying the "Oho's" the hologram shut off.
Elsword and his servant stared at each other. "I see." Elsword went back to his lazy pose on his throne. "Eh, just send soldiers or something to go save her." He told the servant and waved his hand again as if to shoo the servant away.
"Sir! Please reconsider saving her yourself! You are the strongest person in our kingdom!" the servant tried to reason with the unmotivated Prince.
Elsword smirked, "Well of course I'm the strongest!" he then turned his head away with a reluctant frown. "She's just gonna say a whole bunch of bad stuff about me when I go save here though…" he pouted.
The servant sighed. "I have no choice, time to resort to this." The servant breathed in. "Elsword, Prince of Ruben, you are far by the strongest here, no doubt you are also brave!"
Elsword smiled and nodded with a satisfied look. "Indeed, indeed."
"You are also the most important person in all the kingdoms, not to mention the most….sm…..sma….smar…SMARTEST and most clever of all the rulers!" the servant became out of breath once he uttered those words.
Elsword nodded with a very happy smile about being praised. "Yes, I already know all this but yes."
"It only makes sense that the best ruler is to lead the group going to save the Princess." The servant told Elsword, careful to leave out the 'of Elder'
"Oh there's a group going to save her eh?" through Elsword's "extremely super intelligent and clever mind" there was a great "brilliant" equation going through his mind.
Lead group-Show greatness-Save Princess with badass moves-get married to Princess-gain respect of all other leaders=rule over all of Elrios
Elsword nodded to himself while fantasizing all the glory, he seemed to have also forgotten who the Princess was due to his short-term memory, or through all the praise he's gotten. Same difference.
He stood up from his throne. "I am going!" Elsword declared.
"Wonderful! All the adventurers are going to meet at the Tree of El tomorrow! Remember, only the great Prince Elsword can lead them!" the servant cheered with a self-compliment to himself that he managed to make the unmotivated Prince go do it. We should really give this guy a name! How about….eh I don't think I can come up with a good one, oh well.
Elsword strutted out the door and into the outside to declare to his people that he was going to rule over Elrios one day. Wait what?
The very next day, Elsword geared up with his signature Rune Slayer armor and headed to the Tree of El to meet his 'followers'
Next time! The stupid Prince meets the King who loves maids and his perverted wife! He will also meet with the insane and crazed young Prince in-training!
Originally gonna be a one-shot but….decided to make this into a….5 chapter story maybe? Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this…random story….
Review please! You can nickname the servant with an name irrelevant to the story! Aaah, I wasn't supposed to say that anymore.
