156 – Drink (3)
This is a part that was forgotten for a while because she was drunk, but the moment Ellie opens her eyes, she faces various dangers.
This is not limited to her life. Her chastity is in danger, just as Grace almost was.
Pure looks and a body that is unrivaled. If she were a noblewoman, it would be difficult to touch her, but Ellie is a commoner.
As you can see from the way some guy comes up to her and asks for work, she is always flirting.
She politely refuses every time, but there are crazy people like Delphi. Because of this, she is dangerous in many ways.
Unlike Grace, who leaves the story, Ellie adds. If she is insulted, she immediately commits suicide by biting off her tongue.
This is why she came to her senses even though she was drunk. She wondered if something had happened to Ellie while she was going to the bathroom.
‘Where did it go?’
Once she got near the bathroom, she looked for Ellie. She thought we’d meet in the middle, but that’s not the case.
I was planning to turn back because I was wondering if the paths had diverged in the middle. She had to go to the bathroom anyway.
“Put this down! Aren’t you embarrassed that a person called the prince would do something like this?!”
Until, very faintly, a familiar voice reached my ears.
Because it was a banquet, there were a lot of people coming and going in the bathroom, but I could only hear it very faintly.
Because they live in a forest full of various insects and animals, their hearing is excellent. Additionally, sounds could be distinguished.
‘Is it there?’
Even if it wasn’t Ellie, I had a strong feeling that someone was in danger. Her wild instincts told her so.
She then moved her steps slightly away from the bathroom. It’s a quiet area outside, so it’s perfect for doing strange things.
“Shivar! Where are you? Help me!”
I heard it clearly this time. This is Ellie calling me.
Judging by the rather urgent voice, it appears that he is in a dangerous situation. I immediately moved quickly, holding the bottle of alcohol in one hand.
Soon, I was able to reach an even more dark alley in a dark place, and there I saw a familiar face.
“No one is coming here. So please be polite and follow my instructions, okay?”
And a man who is putting a lot of pressure on Ellie. Ellie is forcing her arms up to prevent her from moving around.
The gray hair reminded me of someone, but that’s not important right now. As soon as I saw that scene, I started walking without delay.
“If you obediently become my concubine, you, a commoner…”
That’s it. I approached silently and swung the liquor bottle in my hand vigorously.
That too, very powerfully. Since you touched Ellie, you deserve to die.

Wow!!
The liquor bottle shattered with the distinctive sound of breaking glass. At the same time, the man was shaking and staggering around.
I don’t know if it was because I had a strong head or because I was so drunk that I failed to control my strength, but I didn’t faint right away.
“What about you…?”
A man looking back at me while staggering. Rather than being sharp, the eyes are slit like a snake and are impressive.
I thought about stabbing him with a broken glass bottle, but soon the man’s body collapsed. With a slight wine scent.
‘There was a person with gray hair. Who was it?’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember it well. Should I refrain from drinking alcohol from now on?
Anyway, it doesn’t matter since I saved Ellie. I turned her head and looked at Ellie.
She seemed relieved by my appearance. He doesn’t seem to care whether I break someone’s head with a bottle or not.
I wanted to comfort him, but I thought he would smell like alcohol, so I just stayed quiet.
“Are you okay?”
“I, I’m fine.”
Anyway, it goes like this.
“You’d better tell me in detail. Why is my brother lying down?”
The scene of the assault on the prince was discovered and he was interrogated on the spot.
What is absurd is that the fallen man was taken away like a piece of luggage. The escort of the man who was interrogating me cleaned it up instead.
The half-broken liquor bottle is still in my hand, and the shattered glass is scattered around the head of the man who just fell down.
Because it was a situation where there was no way to escape or attack, it was better to submit to the interrogation obediently. Eli will also be a witness.
“Hmm. So my younger brother tried to rape you by force and ended up like this. Is that right?”
“Yes. That’s correct.”
“That’s it. Let’s skip this incident.”
“······Yes?”
It ended too easily. Not only other people, but even I wonder if this is true.
It is so generous that it feels cold rather than refreshing. It was difficult to understand what kind of situation this was.
“My twin brothers are very picky. I knew something like this would happen one day.”
“B, but he called himself a prince…”
“You are the prince. And I am the crown prince.”
“······?”
Following the prince, the crown prince also appeared. I guessed it because his hair was the same color.
Then the crown prince let out an exclamation, as if he had forgotten something, and then spoke to us.
“I’m late for an introduction. They say I’m Karas, the rightful successor to the Matra Empire. What are your names?”
“My name is Luna Estelle.”
“It’s Ellie.”
“Then who are you who broke my brother’s head?”
Karasu looked at me and asked my name. It seems she made a very strong impression from their first meeting.
I faced eyes that went from bright to bright, to even a hint of subtle madness.
The eyes of the so-called clear-eyed madman. Even the smiling face has something strange about it.
“Shivar.”
“Shibarra…You are the famous wild man. I have heard the rumor.”
These are probably not very good rumors. I was about to say that, but held back.
If this man is really the crown prince I know, it would be best to refrain from conversation as much as possible.
You can tell by looking at the way he just cleared away his younger brother, a prince with a broken head, as if it were a piece of luggage.
‘It’s not for nothing that there are rumors that he’s a fool.’
In Soul World, there are many people who have lost their minds. Chaos tends to pick people who are moderately distracted.
The crown prince also belongs here. The problem is that the crown prince is the next emperor.
‘Putting everything else aside, the likeability is really…’
One of the people who is difficult to raise favorability in Soul World is the Crown Prince, Karas.
It’s not that it’s tricky, but it’s just too confusing. First of all, he likes it when he does something crazy.
You can see how I feel just by looking at how generously I just broke the prince’s head with a bottle of alcohol.
“I…The crown prince.”
“Feel free to call me by my name. Anyway, why?”
“Is nothing really going on with Sivar? No matter how much he said the prince made a mistake…”
“You don’t have to worry. It wouldn’t be so bad if I just died like this.”
“······Yes?”
Karasu spoke with a smile, but the story inside was actually very bloody.
When Luna widened her eyes and was embarrassed, Karasu responded with her smile still on her face.
“The prince tried to forcefully take the woman he owned and died after being hit in the back of the head by her. How ridiculous is this? He will leave his name in history in a different way.”
“··· ···”
This is Karasu, who has no regrets saying things that a true psychopath would say.
The generosity of smiling and moving on even though his younger brother was injured. In fact, rather than being generous, it’s not that I don’t care.
But is the crown prince really a psychopath? That’s not it. Because even for him, there was a minimum line.
Even the line is clear, so as long as it is not intentionally crossed, an amicable relationship can be maintained.
‘There’s nothing wrong with becoming friends.’
I already don’t want to be involved in politics. However, since they broke the prince’s head, they will be involved somehow.
There is a high possibility that Karas will defend him to some extent. Or maybe make it so she can’t speak at all.
After talking about various things, she arrived at the banquet hall. As soon as she arrived at the banquet hall, many eyes were on us.
It looks like he came back with Karas. Because he was well-known in the Matra Empire.
“······Karas?”
“Hmm? Oh, it’s Lady Berce. What’s going on?”
“That’s not it, why did you return with Sivar…”
Coincidentally, I ran into Grace. She asked, looking at us one by one.
He clearly looked embarrassed, and that was no surprise when Karasu returned. Even if it was unexpected, it would be too unexpected.
“There was a brief commotion. We met by chance in that commotion.”
“The disturbance is…”
“Did you say this guy’s name is Sibar? He broke my brother’s head with a bottle.”
“······Yes?”
The truth without a single lie. But the truth caused great confusion for Grace.
The purple shining eyes trembled as if there was an earthquake, and the gaze moved aimlessly.
It looks like he is trying hard to understand what the situation is.
“What happened? Do you see the liquor bottle he is holding here? It’s a liquor bottle broken in half. This is proof.”
“Ah.”
I forgot to throw it away. I looked at the bottle Karas pointed to.
A broken liquor bottle still held in one’s hand. I was so drunk that I forgot to relax.
“That’s not a problem. My brother tried to harm the woman he owns.”
“A woman with a wife?”
“It’s me.”
Ellie answered, raising her hand. While smiling brightly.
Grace twitched slightly under her eyes. There seemed to be some dissatisfaction.
Then she seemed to think for a moment, chose her words, and then apologized sincerely.
“I’m sorry. I will take care of this somehow.”
“Hmm? Why are you taking care of it?”
“If it were normal, I would have just knocked him out. But I think I overreacted because I offered him alcohol.”
This is half right and half wrong.
It is true that my judgment was clouded due to drinking. But even if I hadn’t been drinking, I would have broken my head.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll tie it properly.”
“No. You may not know, Karas, but Sivar is currently my guard knight. According to what I learned from my family, the responsibility of a guard knight is the master’s responsibility.”
“So I said it was okay.”
“But…”
I don’t know the reason, but a fight between spears and shields has begun.
The side that says it’s okay not to take responsibility and the side that says they will take responsibility.
It was enough to attract attention as it was not just an argument but an argument between the crown prince and the duke’s daughter.
‘Is there any more alcohol?’
Even in that situation, I found alcohol. At that moment, there was a bottle of alcohol placed at a suitable distance.
I immediately went to look for alcohol. Luna called me from behind, but she brushed it off.
‘There is no glass.’
I found the wine, but there was no glass. I started walking around looking for a glass.
If I had known this would happen, I would have brought a glass. It’s a bit disappointing.
‘Would you have broken her head with a glass if that was the case?’
I’m not sure about that. Anyway, the important thing now is the glass.
I wanted to blow on the bottle, but that would be an act that crosses the line.
I will drink all this alcohol alone… It may take a long time, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
I eventually found the glass and returned to the group. But there was a stranger involved.
“Oh my. Who is this wonderful gentleman?”
Gray hair and blue eyes like Karas. Eyes that are not only sharp but also evil-looking.
If Grace gave off a somewhat intimidating impression, the woman in front of her had a strong, venomous aspect.
Above all, like Grace, she wears a gray dress with open breasts, making her look like a poisoned rose.
The overall hair style was curly and gave off an old-fashioned look.
“I’d like to introduce you. Her name is Diana, my sister. She is my younger brother’s twin sister just now.”
“My name is Diana. What is her name?”
This is Diana. I thought so
Her personality is so bad that she compares it to the prince whose head I just smashed.
Moreover, her bias against men is severe. In other words, her private life is extremely promiscuous.
“Shivar.”
“Shivarra… That’s a cute name. From what I heard, she came from living in the Forest of Chaos?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
Diana looks me up and down at my short answer. It’s not an observation, but rather an evaluation.
Eventually, Diana smiled as if her scan was complete. Her smile is strongly tinged with curiosity.
“Excuse me, but may I speak to this gentleman separately, brother?”
I thought it was impossible, but it was me. Diana smiled her eyes and asked Karas for her permission.
Just like the rumor that she is very picky with men, it looks like she is trying to give it a try with me somehow.
Maybe it’s an illusion. But after hearing what she said next, she became convinced.
“I want to hear firsthand how she survived in that harsh wilderness, just the two of us.”
“······Two of us?”
Grace frowns at the mention of two. She must have heard the rumors about Diana.
Of course, you won’t like this situation very much. I’ll try my best to stop it somehow.
“I don’t care… But did you say Sivar? Please give me the wine bottle for a moment.”
At Karas’ request, she handed over the entire bottle of wine.
Then he started pouring wine until the glass was full. There wasn’t much wine, so it quickly turned into an empty bottle.
“Hmm. I guess this is enough. Let’s see…”
After pouring all the wine into the glass, Karas looks around. No one could understand his intentions.
Afterwards, Karas looked at Grace and then looked at Ellie. Then he held out an empty bottle.
“Now, I’ll give you this, so you can try it.”
“······What?”
Ellie blinks her eyes and asks. Karas then answered with a cool smile.
“My younger brother is trying to mess with someone he owns. You can hit that younger brother’s head. I will tolerate it.”
“··· ···.”
As expected, this kid is crazy.
“······Really?”
Why are you looking forward to it?
It’s not without reason that Chaos chose Ellie
