Reincarnated to switch places with a princess (PART 1)

Chapter 24

The news of a royal wedding between a snowdanian princess and Scarabian prince had brought excitement to the capital. In the streets, people could be seen dancing wildly, tossing flowers in the air as they celebrated the news, many lined up in the streets anticipating the procession of the bride.

This news however was not pleasing to a certain group that flew over the palace.

"How are we going to get inside?" asked Claude as he looked over the wall, regarding the soldiers guarding the wedding hall with scrutiny. The group had decided to split up into two groups. One of them would stay to infiltrate the wedding while the other would try to find any one of the members that might be able to help them. Looking around, Alfred couldn't help but come up with a 'brilliant idea'.

"How about disguising ourselves?"

"Great idea, Mr Alfred but how?" asked Maximilian, curiously.

Alfred walked over to a large crate before rummaging through to find a couple of servants robes.

"Well, that could work"

(Meanwhile in the other group)

"So remember, split up in two groups to search for William and Prince Reius and hopefully snap them out before the ritual starts which is in 20 minutes. Julius will be ahead of us to search for prince Mazaru and the other siblings." said Shahid as he carefully walked through the halls of the palace. A glowing orb of gold light by his side, ready to pass on information to the others.

"No problem." said Kevin from his end as he along with Alexander searched at their side. With that the line went dead.

"Are you sure about letting Julius be left alone to find the siblings?" asked Shahid.

"Yes, I'm sure. Besides, it was also a good idea to let only the two of us to partner up with each other. someone following us would make things very complicated." turning around, Lidel's eyes turned sly as he spoke towards the darkness, " Whoever you are, show yourself!"

A small chuckle rang through the air, before a thin boy of probably 13 walked forward. He was very pale with blue eyes shadowed with rouge. A side cap perched on top of his platinum blonde hair with two silver hairpins clipped a top of two streaks of black hair. Black plates of armour were strapped over the stranger's clothes, a red hoodie wore over his white dress shirt, a black tie tied around his neck. Black shorts showcased his legs, well built but slender.

However, what caught Lidel's eye was the dagger strapped by the child's side with a red ribbon.

"Wow! you really have a great sensing skills!" complimented the boy as he gave a soft smile.

"Who in the world are you?" asked Lidel warily, " What is a person from a hundred years ago doing here?"

Chuckling, the boy smiles even wider, " My name's Mahi and your right I'm from a hundred years ago so that makes me pretty old, huh. I'm here to sent you a message from my companion. He said ' Be careful. We're on your side and we know who might be behind the script going off.' was what he said. Well toodles, I hope we meet again!"

Waving back, Mahi returned to the shadows.

"WAIT, if you know whose behind the events then who is it?!" exclaimed Shahid.

Mahi stops in his tracks, face shadowed " Someone who we want to kill very badly for destroying his happiness." was all Mahi said before finally returning to the shadows.

(Julius )

Avoiding another guard, Julius looks around anxiously. Trying to find Mazaru. Gripping onto the sword he stole, Julius grits his teeth. This was much harder than he thought.

Maza where the hell are you?

"Prince Julius?!"

Turning around, he found himself face to face with three woman. All expensively dressed although one had her face covered up with a burqa.

Ami,Rini and Fi. Prince Iman's three wives

"Its really you! we thought you left!" exclaimed Rini as they walked towards.

"Uh, ya. But please don't tell anyone I'm here. By the way, do you know where Mazaru is?" asked Prince Julius.

Fi shakes her head, "No, we do not. However, have you seen Prince Iman. We've been trying to search for him and the wedding is about to start in 10 minutes."

Julius internally panics, there wasn't much time left to lose.

"Is it possible that Prince Iman went into the princess quarters?" contemplated Ami as she fiddled with the cloth of her burqa.

"You're right. It's also possible that Mazaru with him right now! Ladies would it be nice of you to help me sneak a way in there. I have a feeling troubles brewing right now and your husband might be in danger as we speak."

This caused the girls to freeze in their tracks. Forcefully, they grabbed a hold of Julius before pulling him towards the princess Quarters.

"Wait a second! slow down!" exclaimed Julius, he was trying very hard not to scream in pain as their nails dugged into his arm.

(Timeskip)

"We'll here." said Fi as they finally let go of Julius hand.

"Okay. Now to open this door."

However, as Julius touched the handle of the door, a red light sparked before rebounding causing him to nearly crash into a wall. Thankfully, Julius was able to pull out his sword just in time and planting it into the ground. Securing his safety.

"What the heck was that?"

"A force barrier." Placing her hand near the door, a small glow of purple light grew, "They're inside. Prince Mazaru, Princess Rita, Prince Iman and Princess Neelam. They're trapped inside."

Trapped!

Turning to face the girls, Julius asked if there was a way to break the shield. The girls replied saying they did before sitting together in a circle, hand in hand they began chanting. Each word they spoke, a bright light grew. Chains of red began to appear, each one of them clinking and clanking as the spell grew.

"Prince Julius, please cut the chains now!" instructed Rini as sweat could be seen dripping from her forehead.

Julius nodded, raising his sword, he calmly landed heavy blows to the chains. Each hit causing a chain to break. Finally, as the last chain snapped into two, the red light that shielded the door started to crack into bits and pieces leaving behind only the door.

He was about to opened the door, when a foot made contact with his face.

"LORD IMAN!"

Rubbing his now more injured face, Julius couldn't help but smile, " Geez, did you had to hit me that hard?"

"Julius!"

"Great to see you again, Maza! Glad you're safe."

Mazaru was in shocked. Looking at the now battered form of one of his best friends, he couldn't help but feel sorry.

"By the way, we need to hurry and stop the wedding."

Right the wedding! They nearly forgot.

*Creak*

"What's that noise?"

"Please don't tell me this is another trap." Grumbled Reius

A vent in the ground, opened and coming out from there was..

"Alfred, Maximilian, Claude?!"
