Transmigrated as a Ghost

Entering Marcus' room and getting away from the small crowd they had gathered, Marcus and Mrazivý along with her protectors crammed inside the fairly small room.

"Oh, you are back, and I see you brought her highness up with you." Lilia said as she bowed towards Mrazivý

Smiling at Lilia who had gotten dressed in her favorite outfit which consisted of a warm white sweater and a light green skirt, Marcus replied saying. "Yep, I just met them at the entrance as I was getting back. Now if you all would just give me a moment to change then we can go an enjoy the festivities."

Everyone then looked around the cramped room wonder whether Marcus was just going to change out in the open, but to their surprise he put up a small wall of darkness in between them and created himself a makeshift changing room.

Storing away his current clothing, Marcus quickly picked out a pair of black pants along with a light blue shirt that he had tailor made a long time ago.

'And for the finishing touches.'

Activating the enchantment on his hair pin Marcus changed his hair color to something a little less flashy, and made it the original light brown hair color that Irene had.

With that done Marcus brought down his wall of darkness and said, "Okay I am ready, let us go enjoy the festival."

However, before anyone made any moves to leave, they all stared at Marcus' changed hair color especially Lilia since now Marcus looked almost exactly like her sister had.

In fact, tears began to flow down Lilia's eyes as she looked at Marcus.

"Is something the matter Lilia." Mrazivý asked wondering why the young girl had started crying.

Realizing she was attracting everyone's attention Lilia wiped her eyes and got herself together and said, "No it is nothing."

Of course, everyone knew it was not nothing, but only Marcus knew exactly why Lilia had started crying.

"Ah Mraz did you want to change your hair color as well, that way you attract less attention too, also Diana your hair stands out a lot as well, so would you want one of my hairpins." Marcus said in order to change the subject.

Nodding her head Mrazivý thought it was a good idea and changed her hair color to a slightly darker shade of brown than Marcus.

Yet when Marcus tried to give Diana one of the hairclips he had made. she put out her hand and said, "Lady Irene, it would not become me to accept such a precious item."

Sighing Marcus said, "If you do not want to keep it that is fine but feel free to use it for today."

This time Marcus skipped past handing it over and simply placed it in Diana's hair since if she did not go along with his plan, it would be harder to ditch Sir Heward.

"Now go ahead and try using the enchantment on it and make your hair a similar color to what mine or Mrazivý's are." Marcus said with an almost devious smile.

Activating the hairclip at first Diana accidently changed her hair green but after a few attempts got it to the same color brown as Mrazivý.

'Roxene, I need you to contact Mrazivý for me using your telepathy.'

Marcus then gave Roxene the message he wanted her to relay and the little wolf who was always up for some mischief smiled and id it happily.

'Mrazivý this is Roxene, Marcus' partner. He has a message for you.'

After Roxene had relayed the message, Mrazivý gave Marcus a slight nod of approval.

"With all of us now having similar hair colors we almost look like we could be family." Marcus said in his most innocent manner.

Playing along Mrazivý nodded her had before making a face of revelation and saying, "Yeah if the four of us go around the festival together with our hair changed like this, people are unlikely to recognize any of us so we will not need to be as carful of crowds and can really experience the festival."

Hearing this her guardian knight Sir Heward immediately spoke up and voiced his concerns.

"Your highness I know you wish to experience the festival, but it will be difficult for me to protect you if you go into crowded areas. We already have the predetermined route that was made for you where extra guards will be posted."

However, Marcus was ready for this and said, "Yes but would it not be safer if no one knew that the princess was even there. If it is a planned route, then that just means anyone can know exactly where the princess is going to be. If just the four of us move around together no one will realize that Mrazivý is a princess."

Quickly understanding what Marcus was saying Sir Heward retorted quite defensively saying, "Are you telling me to not be by the princess' side during the festival. What if something happened to her."

Unfortunately for Sir Heward Mrazivý was ready to deliver the final blow.

"Sir Heward if you stayed close to us it would attract more attention, since having a knight hovering around me would basically be broadcasting that I am someone important. Anyways this city has been quite safe already, and we have not even had a single incident while here. Please could you just stay back and keep an eye out for any shady characters from afar. And I will still have Diana around to protect me and it is not like I am defenseless myself. This may be my last chance to do something like this so could you humor me just this once."

Pleading her case Mrazivý did her best to get Sir Heward to go along with her and after just a bit more prodding he finally relented.

"But the instance I see anything out of place I will rush in and take you to safety. I would be unable to face his majesty again and it would bring dishonor to my entire family if anything were to happen to you." Sir Heward said with a stern expression.

With that settled, they all exited the inn and Marcus, Lilia, Mrazivý, and Diana began heading towards the center of the town where the festival was in full swing.

Moving through the crowds Mrazivý was wide eyed as she looked at all the different things, and even Marcus was surprised because he saw a few attractions he did not think he ever would again.

'They have a Ferris wheel, and a merry go round.'

Seeing these two things that were common on Earth, Marcus was flabbergasted.

Of course, they were not exactly like the ones on earth in that they were being powered by multiple beasts of burden instead of electricity.

However, for the most part they were the same and Marcus could not wait to give the Ferris wheel a try.

"So, what should we do first. Do you all want to ride the Ferris wheel or go around and see what else there is." Marcus asked as he nudged his head towards the Ferris wheel to show his preference.

"I will go wherever the princess whishes to go." Diana said, though she herself was eyeing a stand that was selling multiple types of treats.

Looking at the Ferris wheel Mrazivý smiled and said, "How about we get of that one first, and then we should be able to see the rest of the festival grounds from up there and plan out exactly where we want to go."

With it decided that they would go to the Ferris wheel the four of them walked towards the line, but Diana started heading to the front as if she owned the place.

Grabbing her by the shoulder Marcus pulled her back and said, "What are you doing, the end of the line is right there."

But Diana turned around and said, "Why does that matter, as nobles we of course should not have to wait in line with the commoners."

Sighing Marcus realized that Diana was one of those nobles, and said, "We are acting in disguise so as to not attract attention, if you go to the front of the line and declare yourself a noble that will blow our cover. "

Realizing her mistake Diana apologized to Mrazivý before getting into line with all of them, though she would occasionally grumble about the wait.

"Welcome to Lethallan's Great Ferris Wheel, the cost of admission is one silver per person." The manager of the ride said with a smile on his face.

Taking out a gold Marcus paid for everyone, and whispered to the manager, "I would like it if you could stop the wheel at the top for us."

With wide eyes seeing the gold coin, the manager said, "Of course it would be my pleasure, and you four lovely ladies enjoy the ride."

The four of them then stepped up and got into the open basket that just barely sat four people and crammed in.

The Ferris wheel then began to move after they had gotten on and they were able to look out over the city.

And just as they reached the top the Ferris wheel came to a stop, and the four of them could look out over the city and view the entire festival at their leisure.
