She who saves herself

Chapter 1

The crowd has a life of its own, the vibrant clothes shine in the morning light and the people move like enchanting shoals of fish. There is chatter between sellers and buyers, old friends catching up, new friends made. It's busy for sure, but the hustle and bustle brings life to this city.

Inside a shop there was a boy sitting with long black tied hair and eye-catching, round shape and pitch-black eyes. Beautiful eyebrows, sharp nose and small face. The unmatched beauty who had been blessed by the goddess of beauty, Cybil Yorkshire.

She's been hiding the identity of a young man while she's travelling in a different country. It's been a week since she was reincarnated in this world with the help of her advanced mind. She used this for living and practising every martial art that she used to.

While she was having her tea, suddenly an official came in.

"Give us some special drink !!!" in a haughty tone.

The maidservants serve their special drinks. Then he suddenly spilled the drink from his mouth.

"What is this b*tch? It tastes disgusting!!!" the maidservant's face became pale.

"I-I am sorry sir!!!" The official wanted to slap the maidservant's face when Cybil stopped. Because of what she did, the shocks people faced were shown.

"Who are you!!? How dare you!!" his face turned into dark.

The girl shows glazes on her face.

"You know, it's not right to use violent action on a girl" her lips curved into a charming act.

The official's face becomes red and thinks that Cybil was too cute for a guy.

"Little boy, if we're you I would leave now."

"Sorry, but I will not go until you don't leave this girl."

He clicked his tongue and smirked. "I gave you a chance to go but you missed it."

When the official struck a punch straight at her stomach, she flew to the back of the official and gave him force on her back to make the official shout in pain "AAAAHHHHH". The c***k in his back is really serious, so that it makes him want to die right now from pain. She can heal. She can also give a disease to one person. How ironic, right?

All the official guards are shocked and don't know what to do with that little guy.

"I think you need to help your master", then they flinched and helped their master to get out of the rest.

"Ahm Mister, thank you" a sweet voice came from the maidservant while her face reddened.

She smiled at her in a charming way and the maidservant's heart beat fast, not only her but all the people around her.

"Be careful next time, little miss", she kissed the maidservant's hand and left.

When she left the scene, she took out the purse that she had gotten from the official and smiled in an evil way.

"Too easy to earn money"

hand there is a man who has got interested in Cybil. He caressed his chin and smiled "What an interesting young boy."

A boy with a cold face clicked his tongue "What's interesting in him? He is just a playboy like you". A man with golden hair laughed wildly and tapped the cold man's shoulder.

"I think I'm no match for him!!" he said with amusement.

"So what should we do to that official and to that little boy?" the cold man asked with his calm voice.

" Of course, make him one of us !!!" in his playful tone.

The cold man's face got darker. "It's not funny. Don't make a joke."

"I'm not joking, I'm serious dude!! I want him to be the round table knight". With his determination. No one can break his decision, so the cold man can't continue to argue with him.

The crowd got busy and it was like a bug that keeps buzzing. The Man in Golden hair, Cheng, caressed his hair and looked at the cold man beside him, Jia.

"Your highness please reconsider us!! You need to assign the round table or else we will be in chaotic!!!"

"You can choose our sons!!!"

"I highly recommend my son. He is good at everything I know. He can fit to be on your round table."

They keep buzzing and suggesting that their sons are good at being in that position.

"Your highness what should we do now?" Jia looked at Cheng with care. He knows what these people really want and if Cheng didn't assign a round table as soon as possible, his throne would be in danger.

Cheng smiled at Jia and raised his palm to the crowd and they shut their mouths, waiting for their king to say something.

"I have already assigned a round table. Currently they are all under my supervision". All their faces became pale because they didn't know who those bastards had become knights of the king.

"How can you not tell us who you've been chosen!!!"

All of them are against the king.

"I respect our king's decision!!" an old man with a white beard but who has strong power. He is the prime minister Fang Lin.

Cheng smiled at the old man. "Now dismissed"

Everyone left the hall with their sad and angry faces.

"Ahhh it's really tiring to deal with old men," Cheng said.

"Ehem I'm still here, your highness", Mr Fang Lin, didn't leave his position, unlike with others.

"Whatever, it's just you, Mr Fang, anyway. Where is Luo? I'm still waiting for him. You know I told him that I wanted him to be on my round table. Is he still declining my offer?"

Fang Luo is the childhood friend of Jia and Cheng. They both know what kind of person Luo is and he knows that Fang's family has been loyal to the royal family and he treated the old man, Fang, as his second father.

"I still don't know my King is, what that bastard is on his mind, but I know he will accept your offer no matter what, because he has been yours for a long time."

Like Jia, Luo also promised to Cheng that he would be by his side even though it's his life.

Cheng closed his eyes. "Now I need 3 more people."

"How about the son of the general?" Mr Fang suggested.

"Why do you recommend the general's son?" he caressed his chin. Cheng knows how powerful the general is and also the rumor about his son. But he had doubts that it would be agreed because the general's son doesn't like to be involved in these kinds of political affairs.

"You know what kind of person the General is. It's up to you Cheng if you like him. I'm only suggesting to him because I think he can help you in the future. Good luck my King" and Mr Fang left the hall with a smile.

"Did you know ? The son of the general invited to be a round table"

"Oh how lucky, but I heard that his son is not interested."

While Cybil was walking in the street she had heard a lot of news talking about this round table. It knew that in this world it exists. She thinks that being one of them is a cool thing, just like Arthur.

At night the old man and the son argue.

"I told you! I don't want to be on the round table until I don't get back to my sister's home!!!"

"You!!! How many times should I tell you that your sister is already dead!!!"

He smacked the desk and shouted at the old man "She's not!!!"

The old man sat down in his chair. "How could you say that!!!"

The young man bit his lips "I -- I just know!!!" and he walked away from his old man's room.

While he was walking in the corridor, someone talked at his back.

"Why don't you try?" he looked at the young man wearing blue clothes while eating an apple.

"Sister!!" a happy smile showed on her brother's face.

"Sup brother!!" an angelic smile Cybil gave. Brother Yu hugged her and caressed her hair.

"Please come back home Cy", a sweet and warm tone from her brother, and at the same time she felt a heartache because she didn't want Brother Yi to feel bad about her.

"Brother Yi, you know what that mother and father did to me. I can't show myself until I'm not strong enough". She still can't forget what they did to the true owner of this body and she will not return until she doesn't take revenge.

He caressed his hair and clicked his tongue. "Then I will become strong to protect you!!"

Cybil smirked and provoked her brother. "Then you will become the round table knight?" she tilted her head and showed a puppy look. Suddenly, his brother blushed because of her cuteness.

He was coughing and saying "Do you want me to be a knight?" He asked her in a confusing tone.

"It's up to you, brother, if you want to. But anyway, I need to go bye!!" She jumped high to the ceiling until she flew away from her brother's place.

Since he last saw her, she's weak and quiet, but now he knows she can protect herself even from his father.

The truth is they're not really blood-related siblings. This man was adopted and raised by the general but he was a favorite of his father.

He treasured Cybil a lot and he would protect her even if his life was in danger.
