Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Patricia, Heshmerie, Joustin, Emerette, and Juliette glanced at the three new members that the Queen had chosen for them once they entered the throne room.

They were still processing this whole “new team members business” altogether, but they were shocked by what they saw.

“These will be your new companions. I want you to welcome them into your group and teach them the ropes. I value their talent as big as yours,” said the Queen. “However, because of one circumstance or another, they cannot unleash all of it yet, and are quite young, still learning. They might be reckless at times, or not go along as well, but they got the spirit and have been recommended by me by their tutors.”

The three of them glanced at the Magic Knights with slight surprise, although one of them remained looking rather grumpy.

“Ah, so it was them, thank you for having me along. I used to be a Magician in the Tower, nice to meet you. I suppose we never truly had a proper greeting; I am Tomas.” Said the first of them, a young man bordering his nineteens, certainly the oldest of this group by looks alone, he had short brown hair and emerald eyes wearing glasses like Joustin, he looked like a scholar, but with armor on top of his scholarly clothes. “The Queen has rewarded me with the opportunity to become part of a new Squadron that will be protecting the Kingdom from now on, I look forward to work with you guys.”

“Oh, it’s Tomas! I know that guy…” Said Joustin. “I remember Lady Planta talking about him. I think he helped a lot yesterday, right?”

“Yeah…” Heshmerie nodded. “Isn’t he a bit older though?”

“Only around a year and a half older,” Said Patricia. “It doesn’t matter! Wasn’t a demon worshipper though?!”

“D-Demon Worshipper? That’s a bit of a stretch… I-I was… I was forced to become a member of their group against my will…” muttered Tomas. “I’ve been proving that I am not an evil sorcerer so far so I hope… you could help me prove myself even more worthy.”

“Hmph, if you think that-“

“Of course! Let’s work together!” Heshmerie interrupted the mean words of Patricia rather bluntly, leaving her a bit red in anger.

“Now, the other two…” Joustin muttered. “Hm? A dwarf girl…? Wait, you’re Brisingra, right? Princess of the Dwarven City of Svartalfheim in the Ash Mountains! I remember you were always with Lady Planta.”

“A-Ah, yes… It is me,” Brisingra nodded. She was a half elf and half dwarf girl with a small stature and body, but big and bright eyes. Her hair was red color with fiery blue eyes. “I was absent yesterday and I came back today to help however I can. I felt so bad I couldn’t help… I’m so sorry. I had the strength, I might’ve been able to prevent deaths but… I-I was a coward…”

“Brisingra…” The Queen sighed. “Please don’t blame you for such things, you’re still growing up, and you’re also a princess! I wouldn’t have wanted you to risk your life so much for another Kingdom either, so please calm down. Your Father has already agreed to a meeting with me later, and you’ll get to see him again, it has been a little while, right?”

“Ah, father! Yes!” Brisingra was very happy. “I’ll tell him about Mother as well, and the Past Realm.”

“I suppose that’s also something that could be talked…” Nodded the Queen. “Is Ambil’s house in good state?”

“It is one of the few houses that wasn’t ruined, yes,” Brisingra nodded. “The entrance to Hephaestus Inheritance Forge and also the Portal to the Past Realm remain intact and in good state! My mother and the people there are already preparing a lot of provisions and other things to help out. They can’t quite come out yet on their own, however, but food and other things can be transferred.”

“That would be so appreciated! Thank you Brisingra!” The Queen was very happy. “Ambil is in the Castle’s Forges with other blacksmiths at the moment, working hard with the rest of the competition participants as they work to create new equipment and metal pieces to reconstruct the city. I told them they didn’t really need to, but something possessed them and they won’t stop…”

“I suppose it might’ve been the King’s sacrifice…” Brisingra sighed. “I am very sorry about that, your majesty.”

“It’s… alright, there’s a way to bring him back, there’s hope Brisingra,” the Queen smiled. “Now! Please treat her well, she’s not just a dwarf but also half ancient elf, Brisingra has many special abilities, but she specializes in barrier magic. Something you need quite a lot.”

“Oooh! Yeah! Definitely!” Joustin nodded.

“Indeed,” Heshmerie agreed. “Even with a shield, I doubt I can just take on the attacks of everyone.”

“A princess! It is an honor!” Patricia said. “Let’s get along~!”

“Welcome to the party, Princess Brisingra,” Emerette said.

“Welcome,” Juliette nodded.

“Thank you for the hospitality…” Brisingra felt moved. “Mother helped me out come out of the Realm and guided me into taking this decision. But this is what I wanted, something that drove me with a stronger purpose. I have great power, so I need to use it to help others. This Kingdom has given me so much, welcomed me as one of your own and all… The least I could do is return the favor.”

“So honorable and moving… Bleh!”

Suddenly, a childish voice echoed behind Brisingra, as the group glanced at the third new member, someone that they couldn’t tell was either a boy or a girl.

They were short in height, perhaps almost around the same height as Brisingra, if not slightly smaller, with short silvery-white hair, and sharp red eyes, looking rather fierce, but with an adorable face.

They had a slender body with even more slender legs and twig-like arms, delicate pale white skin, pointy ears, and as they talked, they noticed two tiny fangs in their mouth.

Aside from that, they wore black shorts, black and red shoes with tiny bat wings on them, white socks, white blouse, and a black jacket with a hoodie covering their face.

“Hey, Melascula! Have some manners while in the presence of her majesty!”

The other Vampires appeared by their side and started reprimanding the little vampire.
