160. The Princess and the Witch (2)
That night.
I was about to go into my dorm and sleep.
Suddenly, the name tags on both sides of the room caught my eye.
「Leah, Irina, Lydia.」
“Hmm….”
Obviously, the number of rooms in the orphanage is small.
However, I felt strange because their room was right next to mine.
“I feel anxious.”
‘I have to keep the door specially locked today.’
Feeling uncomfortable, I went into my dorm and locked the door.
And, without even drinking, I went to sleep with as healthy a mind as possible.
So that you can prepare for unexpected situations.
Just like that, twelve o’clock at night arrived.
――――――.
A quiet orphanage.
Children’s accommodation on the first floor.
On the second floor, the princesses and Veil are sleeping.
However, some of them were not yet asleep.
Kkeak-.
The door with Irina’s name tag on it was opened.
Then, a silver-haired woman who had changed from her nun’s robe to pajamas came out into the hallway.
“….”
The second princess came out holding a candle in one hand.
She looked around the dark hallway cautiously.
Once she confirmed that the surroundings were empty, she spoke very quietly….
I headed to Veil’s room.
Kkeak-.
Every time I stepped down the old hallway, I heard a loud noise.
At that sound, Irina held her breath as best as she could.
After.
When you reach the door.
She looked at the door with blank, unfocused eyes.
“I was unlucky yesterday….”
Is it because it is early in the morning?
For some reason, the door seemed to be shaking.
However, she didn’t care.
“Today is different, Bale.”
She placed her hand on the swinging doorknob.
Then, she boldly opened it and stepped inside.
“….”
A fragrant aroma wafts through the room.
She slowly approached a bed, as if intoxicated by the scent.
“Veil, are you sleeping?”
Irina’s green eyes shine even in the darkness.
Those eyes stared blankly at the black hair lying on her bed.
“I didn’t drink today…” ?”
The princess calmly headed to bed.
And, she whispered in a sweet voice.
“Then, I guess I’ll feel better than yesterday.”
She smiled brightly.
The saintess taking care of the orphans shown during the day today.
The image of a wise monarch who gives employment to her men and women at the same time.
Everything has disappeared.
She just raised the corners of her mouth like a demon hiding in her nun’s robe.
She knew about Veil before the other princesses.
She planned to put a period on it because she kissed him first.
“….”
Irina carefully lifted her legs onto the bed.
The hem of her soft silk dress rose, revealing her voluptuous thighs to her eyes.
“Now, you’re a good boy….”
She swallowed her saliva deeply as she watched a pair of lips getting closer.
Afterwards, the moment when she was about to put her own things together.
“Umm….”
My eyes sparkled as I heard a thin muttering sound.
“Uh… ?”
My dazed focus began to come back little by little.
Then, the black hair that seemed like a veil gradually began to grow longer.
As if it were a woman’s.
“… !”
Irina soon realized that the room she came to was not Veil’s room.
But, at that moment.
“Hug me…” .”
A clear girl’s voice.
The silhouette that I thought was her veil stretched out both arms and wrapped around Irina’s shoulders.
“It’s an order, Veil….”
Lydia is sleeping and pampered, talking in her sleep.
She wrapped her arms around Irina’s delicate shoulders.
“Is she rebelling just because she became a baron…? .”
She hugged her older sister tightly.
Neat silver hair and beautiful black hair were mixed together.
The subtle fruity scents of the two people mixed together, making me feel even more hazy.
Is it because I was intoxicated by that atmosphere?
Soon, Lydia….
Side….
Irina pressed her own moist lips to her cheek.
“… !!!”
Clear sense.
At this, her dazed mind became clear, and goosebumps appeared all over Irina’s body.
“Wow… !! What are you doing now… !!”
Irina’s scream.
She batted Lydia away, fluttering under her eyes.
“Ugh… !”
The youngest princess was thrown onto the bed.
She also woke up from her sweet dream thanks to her sudden shock.
From Noble mtl dot com
“What, what…?” ?!”
Lydia opened her pigtails and her tightly closed eyes flashed.
Then, she looked up at Irina in shock, cupping her own cheek.
“Irina? “Why are you here?”
Her half-sister also refuted her question in an unfair voice.
“Why are you here…? ?! This is definitely Veil’s room… !”
Her second princess could not believe that her own cheek had been violated by her younger princess.
She spoke in a very resentful voice and covered her chest with both arms.
“What are you talking about? This is my room… ! “You stupid commoner!!”
Lydia huffed and her red eyes flashed.
After that, she suddenly got up from her seat and pointed to her luggage placed on the corner of her bed.
“It’s true… ? But, obviously….”
Irina seemed to come to her senses and grabbed her own lush hair.
Lydia also felt arrogant at the fact that she kissed Irina’s cheek, which she avoided.
“Stop making excuses and get out!!”
The sound of two people arguing fills the room.
And….
Their images were reflected in a crystal ball.
To a witch sitting on the roof of an orphanage and laughing.
「hehehe…. It looks good—!!!」
Margo, who was sitting on the roof, laughed at the sight of the two princesses who were attacked while trying to approach Veil.
Really, like a witch.
「I knew that would happen, so I placed an illusion spell in the hallway.」
The witch had a proud expression, a strong blue light flashing in her eyes.
She is one of the strongest witches.
Furthermore, it was very easy to set up the orphanage as it was her home ground.
「No matter how good you are, you cannot avoid my magic.」
Under her moonlight, she smiled so evilly that her sharp fangs were visible.
And then, I watched with satisfaction as Irina returned to her room, sighing.
「Why don’t you continue to approach Veil in such a lewd manner every night? “I will let you all meet each other.”
When the princesses became quiet, Margo smiled and put a candy in her mouth.
And then, she only looked down at her crystal ball, determined to keep watch until morning came.
“….”
About an hour had passed.
No matter how powerful a witch she was, she could not escape her drowsiness.
Margot dozed and stared blankly into her crystal ball.
Finally, that moment.
“… !”
The room right next to Veil.
There, a woman with brilliant blonde hair came out into the hallway.
She had apparently placed an illusion spell in her hallway so she thought she would also be sent to Lydia or Irina’s room.
But.
「Uh… ?」
Leah was heading straight towards Veil’s room.
She said as if she could sense him.
「What… ? Surely the illusion magic must have worked?”
She stroked her crystal ball and released her powerful purple magic.
Thanks to this, the hallucination magic applied to the hallway also became stronger.
But.
「W-what… ? Why do you keep heading to Veil’s room?!”
Leah just paused for a moment.
Soon she calmly walked to his room as if she could feel the veil.
She soon looked blankly at the door of her room, and tried to pull her doorknob.
In her nightgown covering her own voluptuous body.
「No… !!」
Margo, feeling worse, put down her crystal ball.
And then, she hurriedly climbed down from the roof of her orphanage.
“Ha…. Ha….”
I quickly headed to the hallway.
And finally, I faced Leah who was about to enter Veil’s room.
“… !”
Leah, who had fallen into hallucination magic due to the witch’s popularity, also stopped.
She stared at the human silhouette that appeared in front of her.
「Stop, you are not allowed to go in there!」
Margot shouted in a low voice, afraid that someone might wake up.
Then, Leah looked blankly at the petite witch.
Margot has black hair like Veil and Lydia.
Moreover, is it because he is wearing a black one-piece dress like his uniform?
“….”
Leah, expressionless, slowly approached her.
「W-what…. Why are you coming this way all of a sudden?”
“….”
Leah approached and looked down at Margot.
Her sensual shadow fell over the petite witch.
「… !」
That moment.
Margot realized.
She said she had cast the hallucination spell much stronger than usual.
「Don’t come closer… !」
The witch stretched out her hand and shouted urgently.
However, her delicate hands soon….
“Veil….”
She was tightly caught by the princess’s wrist.
「Hi!!」
She had goosebumps all over her body, like her black cat.
She was soon knocked down by a huge lioness attacking her own herd.
Boom!!
“You’re in great spirits now that you’ve become a baron. “You speak informally to me.”
Because of her strong magic, unlike Irina, Leah is not even suspected.
As if driven by instinct, he climbed on top of the black-haired girl he had caught.
「Hey, it’s time to cancel the magic… ! Release it!!”
Margot’s thin eyes flashed at the voluptuous skin in front of her.
She just yelps like a startled cat.
“It’s cute, and it rebels too.”
However, she was of no use to Leah, who had haughty eyes like a queen.
She grabbed the tip of Margot’s chin as if she was already guided by instinct.
And, the moment when her eyes were closed in a strange way and he was about to kiss her.
Kkiik――.
The door to a man’s room that the princesses wanted to open opened.
The light coming from that room illuminated the two kites in the hallway.
Leah riding on top of Margot.
“Her Royal Highness… ? Margo… ?”
I was half-asleep and frowned at the sight of the two women in front of me.
It looks like they were about to kiss each other.
At this, I twitched my eyes.
“What are you doing now?” ?”
Only after hearing my question did Leah immediately return focus to her blue eyes.
She looked down blankly at the person she had attacked.
“What happened…?” ?”
I thought she was the target because she definitely had black hair.
Because the person she was targeting was me, standing blankly.
“No way, you two…” . Like that….”
I asked, pointing at the two people alternately with my finger.
Then, Margot and Leah looked at each other….
“Oh, no. Veil!! “This is a mistake!”
「That’s right… !! “It’s not what you think!!”
I cleared my throat and looked away from the two people.
And then, I only glanced at Leah.
“I didn’t know the princess had such tastes. “Margo, is this the reason you haven’t dated?”
After hearing what I said, the eyes of the first princess of the empire trembled.
She maintained a blank expression in any situation.
She had been calm even when her black elder was killed by the werewolf, but now her face turned bright red.
“Shut up!!”
“Shut up, Veil!!”
Hearing the loud voices of Leah and Margot, the princesses from the next room also came out into the hallway.
Their eyes lit up at the same situation they had also experienced.
“What happened to you too… ?”
Leah realized that her two younger siblings were also victims of this mysterious incident.
Thanks to this, the three princesses all looked down at Margot, the most suspicious person in this situation.
「Hey….」
The witch cried as she saw the three beasts looking down at her.
「――――――」
The next day.
Three women sat side by side at a long table.
Across from me sits Margot, the culprit of last night’s commotion.
She clasped her hands together and shrugged her shoulders.
And then, she just watches the ferocious beasts that appear before her eyes.
“So, this is the one who cast the illusion spell yesterday?”
Lydia, alone with her arms crossed, asked with burning red eyes.
“Yes, this kid. “He’s a pretty powerful shaman.”
Irina, who had met her before, vouched for her.
“How dare you cast such a wicked spell. “Courage alone is amazing.”
Leah is traumatized by the curse.
She also had a very uncomfortable look in her eyes.
Her blue eyes were as cold and cold as the Bakal Mountains.
「Sorry, sorry….」
Margo muttered as she crawled inside.
Then, I came to her side and apologized on her behalf.
“I’m sorry, because she’s a witch and likes to play pranks….”
I asked for forgiveness from them, even if it was just by looking at my face.
Then, the princesses seemed to all be of the same opinion and ordered me to step aside for a moment.
“Bale, let’s discuss this between us for a moment.”
I swallowed deeply at the serious look in Irina’s usually innocent eyes.
‘No matter how much I do, I think it will be difficult to prevent this…’ .’
I looked down at the petite witch with her head down.
Her fists were shaking as if she was scared.
Noticing this, I asked the princesses with determined eyes.
“I will punish you later, so please refrain from harsh punishment. “He is my dear friend.”
“Friend….”
The princesses saw my serious eyes.
The girls pursed their lips for a moment, as if confirming my sincerity.
Just as if I felt reassured by the word ‘friend’.
“I understand. If you say it that way….”
After Irina answered as the representative, I was able to step away from Margot.
Now, they are starting to agree with what I say.
“Whoa…” .”
I watched the women’s conversation from afar, feeling relieved.
But.
“Hey, there witch.”
Lydia still called Mago with the cold gaze of an Eastern monarch.
「Yes….」
“Is it fun to play around? Do you know what happened to me because of you?”
“Lydia, aren’t you the only one who felt bad?”
2,3 Mago’s eyelids fluttered at the princess’s murderous tone.
Who would have thought that Leah possessed the power to defy her own hexes.
She bit her lip at the unexpected thought.
“Why on earth is that like that? “Let’s find out why.”
Lydia soon stopped her bickering and asked her witch.
Then, Margo muttered quietly.
“I did it because I thought you guys were trying to take away the veil….”
“What… ?”
The princesses were astonished by her simple answer.
Then, Margo raised her voice and said she was serious.
“Well, the room next to Veil was always mine! But you intervened… !!”
The witch said with an aggrieved expression.
When I was young, we even shared the same bed.
At that time, she was even thinking about getting married, so she did not want to lose him.
“Why did they suddenly come out of nowhere and disturb us?”
As Mago spoke with her fists clenched, the princesses all looked dumbfounded.
Then, he soon started laughing at the petite witch.
“What, was it something like that… ?”
“It’s cute, Miss Margo.”
Lydia and Irina raised their eyebrows at her motive for the crime, which was simpler than expected.
However, Leah was different.
She, who had already suffered from her curse, spoke to her in a cold tone like a cool-headed queen.
“It seems like you could hallucinate someone else just for that reason.”
「Huh….」
Margo shrugged her shoulders in eerie horror.
He obviously knew that the 1st princess would strongly interrogate him.
「Sorry….」
She was shaking with her eyes tightly closed.
Soon, the princess’s hand touched her shoulder.
That moment.
“Next time, stop using such tricks and participate in the competition fairly.”
I opened my eyes at the unexpected words of the princess.
「Yes… ?」
“Acquiring excellent talent is the privilege of the strong. So, if you are confident, go for it yourself.”
Leah’s eyes full of confidence.
She spoke to Margot with a haughty gaze that told her she could win no matter who she was fighting.
“That’s right, Margo. “If it’s a fair competition, I welcome it.”
“Okay-. “You won’t be able to beat me anyway, but-.”
Irina and Lydia also agreed.
It was a reaction befitting a wide range of monarchs.
「Well, then… Are you forgiving me? ?」
Margot’s round eyes twitched at the sight of the merciful royal family.
It was as cute as a scolded cat.
“Hmm, well….”
The princesses looked down at the little witch with interest.
The women who felt the power of witchcraft firsthand, instead of questioning….
“Maybe you’ll forgive me if I tell you about the magic I used last night?”
Like a wise monarch, he decided to make him an ally and use him.
「Well, that’s too dangerous to use on Veil….」
“So, you’re saying it can be used for us?”
Lydia asked, growling her sharp fangs like the leader of the East.
「Hey, hey….」
“I’m not saying I’m going to abuse you, Margo. “We want to form an alliance.”
Irina spoke with a merciful yet murderous smile.
「Still….」
“Aren’t you curious too? “The veil that wants us for itself.”
Leah asked with sensual eyes, like a star commanding a talented person.
「….」
Margot swallowed deeply.
And then, he glanced at me watching from afar.
It was as if I realized something I never thought possible.
“What, why is everyone looking at me like that…?” .”
I was leaning against the wall alone with my arms crossed.
I tilted my head to see the women staring at me with the same look in their eyes.
‘Clearly, the story seems to have worked out well….’
I felt more chills running down my spine.
yep
there’s more now * thumbs up
