Who Made Me the King of Heroes Daughter?! [wmmap x fate]

Chapter 6: Act 1: (The Prince)

A few days after the banquet~~

"How long are they gonna stay here?" A young voice asked that belong to Lucas

"I'm not sure but from what I know is that they've been pretty demanding that even Enkidu has been having a hard time calming dad down." I responded back as I laid flat on my stomach.

Currently me and Lucas were in my dad palace garden having a small picnic because we were quite bored with nothing to do.

"Is that why he's been more in a mood lately?" He asked while shoving a grape in his mouth but never keeping his eyes off me.

"Yea... I mean he hasn't even had the time to rest properly." I was quite worried I mean Gilgamesh was kind of the reason I am still alive but that had nothing to do with my affection for him as of current state.

"They're from a smaller kingdom so of course they're gonna try to get everything they can out of this alliance probably why they are giving your dad such a hard time right now." I sat back up on the grass as we were both sitting under a tree.

"Maybe there is some kind of internal problem happening at their kingdom too... otherwise the king wouldn't have tried to get his son to marry me." I put my hand under my chin thinking.

"Yeah I heard about that, all the nobles and servants are talking about the 'foolish king and peasant prince trying to marry their beloved princess'" Lucas rolled his eyes at the news but it made me pause for a moment.

"They... like me...?" I asked not wanting believe because of how they acted initially

"Yea the servants like you and they love how kind you are to them."

"They definitely didn't act like that when I first came into the palace..." I scratched my head a little recalling the memories and how it kind of mostly Enkidu who raised me

"Well people change and they like you and I know that you like them too." He stared at me and for a moment Lucas looked a little older than his current appearance

"...maybe... but wait a minute 'peasant prince?' Why would they call him that?" Opis was still royalty no matter what and so calling him that was pretty harsh

"Well the kingdom of Nippur is quite poorer and lacking in power compared to Uruk so it would make sense that they regard the prince as that." Lucas popped another grape in his mouth after he finished his sentence

"Ehh... he's still a prince and he looks pretty cute even as a kid." As soon as I said that Lucas eyes snapped to meet mine and he looked rather pissed

"I'm better looking then him" he said as he leaned towards me

"Mmm I'm not so sure I mean he'll probably be pretty handsome when he grows up."

"But you've forgotten that your father rejected him and used me as a excuse practically saying that the brat is worthless." A cruel smile came over Lucas mouth as he soon leaned back before finishing the rest of the grapes

'You don't need to be so harsh but then again that's just Lucas.' I thought helplessly as a image of Opis came into my mind but what interested me the most was his eyes which looked a lot like Ijekiel.

'Mmm I wonder if that Ijekiel who also came into this world...' I put a finger to my chin in a thinking manner

"Hey... are you thinking something weird?" Lucas asked as he raised a eye brow at my actions

"Lucas is it possible for another soul to come into this world like me?" My question seemed to catch him off guard but his expression didn't change

"You did it so why shouldn't it be possible?" Now that answer got me thinking

"Why do you ask." Lucas added on

"Lucas listen, I think that prince Opis is actually Ijekiel son of Duke Alpheus."

"But that would imply that he died around your time of death and entered a body that wasn't a newborn otherwise the age is off" the way he said it made Lucas seem pretty smart.

"But would that mean the original owner of the body died a long time ago and Ijekiel went into the body?"

"Possibly... but I don't feel like thinking any more on it and besides we aren't sure that it's actually whitey boy." Lucas slouched back a little as he was clearly not interested in the topic anymore.

"Well it's still a possibility..."I laid back on the grass as the shade of the tree covered the sunlight from my eyes.

"I never said it wasn't" he laid down next to me as well and for the moment it was quiet and peaceful almost felt like there was only us in the world and we were just two normal kids.

"Hey... Lucas?" I asked as I turned to face him

"Hmm?" He hummed in response

"Would you... would you ever leave me or stop caring about me?" I asked and I was kind of afraid of his answer but it seems like I didn't have anything to worry about.

"Are you an idiot? If I didn't care about you I wouldn't have followed you into another world and continued to stay by you all these years." Lucas sounded very offended my question

"And besides I still haven't told you about—" just as he was about to continue he stopped

"About what?" I cocked my head to the side wondering what he was gonna say

"It's nothing..." he didn't say and he didn't look like he was gonna say it even if I forced him

"Be careful I don't trust this brat."

"Why?" I was curious Lucas hated the prince and the king ever since they showed up

"This 'Opis' really is whitey boy he'll most likely remember you which could be bad if you really want to move on from then." Perhaps he can tell that I was struggling with my past life I mean only he can really but still it made me happy.

"Why do you care so much?"

"Because... your my best friend and the only person I care about so you better feel privileged."

'Ah...'  there was a very faint red tint on his cheeks so faint that you could very easily miss it

"thank you and don't worry Opis could never replace you because well your really the only friend I need." I smiled at him which he returned and to say this picnic ended quite better than both of us expected.

Hmmm... I wonder if there is any other characters I'll bring into this world Hmm 🤔
