Chapter 2: Banished
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty!" shouted the old advisor Hamilton, who managed to barely restrain himself from screaming, so as to not appear disrespectful to the new king.
"Mhm.", letting out a disgruntled voice, Harry opened his eyes, feeling the light blind him.
Harry, who was in his recollection of what just happend to him, returned back to the present.
He faintly remembered that before he came to this world, he was in Earth, crossing the road while happily imagining his future, as he had just been appointed as the new engineer in a famous company, when suddenly he saw a speeding truck coming right at him. Before he could do anything the truck crashed into him.
He expected a painful death, but what he got was a far cry from it.
He did not feel pain at all. All he felt was numbness all over his body.
Harry opened his eyes only to see two female faces. One was of an old and mature woman, while another was of a teenager. He was in a carriage, which was not in optimal condition, to say it nicely. Memories flooded into his brain, and he finally realised what had happend.
He had transmigrated! Just like in a story! Or should we say Reincarnated? Um... I don't know.
He was in the body of Harry Andestein, the crown prince of Andestein, or supposed to be atleast. After all, his mother was the one and only daughter of his grandfather, Jarvis Andestein.
But, because there is no woman equality in this world, she had to marry someone to take the throne, and of all people, she was forced to marry the third prince of Esther, who is an as***le.
His name was Alfrendo Esther. He acted all nice till he gained a significant amount of nobles support, and then he forcibly snatched over whatever powers my grandfather and mother had.
Then he married a lot of b*****s, who to allow their sons to gain control over the throne, enticed him to banish me and my mom.
So he thought of a perfect method. He announced that Lyria, the state of barbarians, is going to split from Andestein and the ruler will be me.
My mom's name is Amelia and the teenager in the carriage was Aoi. She had similar conditions to me in her home, and her father was a travelling merchant.
He named her from the Elearain kingdom's culture, which heavily resembled Japan. Her father died when she was 10 years old and her stepmother drove her out of her house.
My mother was a good friend of Aoi's father, and hence she took Aoi in. Aoi was extremely beautiful. She had red eyes, pitch black hair, snow white skin and she was very kind.
She used to donate whatever amount of money my mom gave for her help to homeless children.
His father Alfrendo gave him nothing. He snatched away whatever savings we had and didn't even let any knights to follow us. There were two powerful knights who were extremely loyal to my mom and grandfather, but Alfrendo made sure to send them to a scuffle before banishing us.
By the time I could digest those memories, the carriage had already arrived at the weak and broken down city wall. Lyria was called the state of barbarians because they had a large population and only a meager amount of cultivable land.
So to cope for food needs, all the males had to hunt the monster animals in the forests and naturally, they were very tough to defeat.
Once the king came to visit, and these people had nearly killed him. If not for the knights, he would have died. Ah.... How good that would have been.
But what I saw when I crossed the city walls was very different. I imagined a dark and murky place with people with scars roaming around.
That was not what was there. There were children who were like bags of bones and mud huts all around. Right in the dead centre, there was a stone castle which was not impressive at all.
Me, my mom and Aoi went in dazedly, only to find an old man who had a heavily wrinkled face and a beard till his waist.
That brings us to the present. I was in the throne room, lost in my own thoughts while Hamilton, the old advisor explained this newly established kingdoms condition.
"Um... Hamilton, can you repeat what you were saying? ", requested Harry.
"Of Course Your Majesty, we only have some farmlands which only give a low output of crops while the rest of the land is barren, and.....", explained Hamilton.
