170. Bear and Leopard (3)
I was looking at Cornell Street for a while.
Suddenly, I turned my head when I heard the sound of urgent footsteps coming towards us.
“Ha…. Ha….”
A boy seen from afar.
Wearing a hunting cap and short shorts, he looked at me and waved his hand.
“Baron Veil–.”
A guy wearing a delivery bag on his waist.
When he arrived in front of me, he was breathing heavily.
“I’ve been looking for a while to see where you are….”
“What’s going on?”
When I asked, he pointed to the badge on the top of his plain dress shirt.
“Now the owner of the top has returned with a carriage and cart. “They say we should prepare to enter the capital soon.”
“Really? “Thank you for letting me know.”
“hehehe, don’t say anything-.”
I crossed my arms alone.
And then, I looked down at the boy with black hair like me.
“But, how did that happen there?”
Looking down.
The red scar on his knee caught my eye.
“Oh, it’s no big deal. I was in a hurry and fell….”
A boy scratching the back of his head and smiling.
It was nice to see a pure smile.
“No matter how urgent it is, will you use it if you treat your body harshly? “It must hurt.”
I gazed pitifully at his wounds.
However, the boy gave an answer so unexpected that it put his teeth to shame.
“No, my job is to deliver information quickly.”
His black eyes shone brightly.
Unlike the arrogant noble cadets, his unique rigidity stood out.
“In return, I receive a salary from the owner of the business, so I must do my best in what I do.”
Tina and Lydia were listening next to each other.
They had smiles on their lips at the answer of the wonderful boy.
“He’s a fun kid.”
“So, it seems like you have a vague understanding of how the world works at such a young age.”
I also agreed with this.
“You grew up too early. “Sometimes you need to know how precious your body is.”
I took a gold coin out of my pants.
And then, he placed it in the boy’s palm.
“Uh…. No. I can’t get something like this….”
“Go and treat your wounds.”
I firmly interrupted the boy and handed him a gold coin.
Like my father, Hans, who was the director of an orphanage.
“Even if I had a son, I would have rewarded him like this. So don’t hesitate and take it.”
“….”
Son.
Lydia and Tina glanced at me at those words.
As if you were imagining something.
“It’s really okay. When I go back, my friends in the village will treat me anyway.”
“Friends from the village?”
When I asked again, the boy innocently nodded his head.
“Yes, the girls in the village take good care of me. “They always treat us kindly.”
After hearing those words, I looked at the boy’s face again.
Now that I think about it, I think their faces look a bit similar.
I began to feel a strange sense of kinship.
I glanced briefly at the noble women standing on either side of me.
An intimidating atmosphere, like two beautiful beasts.
Thanks to this, he left advice that became his blood and bones to the boy.
“Be careful.”
“Yes… ?”
The boy who looked to be about 12 years old tilted his head at my words.
Then, I smiled and patted his shoulder.
“No, I said something unnecessary to the kid…” .”
What selfish intentions can young girls have?
I guess it’s just taking care of my friends.
I was quiet and only gave the child gold coins.
“Anyway, be sure to accept this as a fee for your trouble.”
He dropped a gold coin into his shirt pocket.
“Repay the children who treated you kindly by buying them something delicious.”
And, I left a piece of advice.
“No matter the size, it is better to repay kindness as quickly as possible.”
He listened to me and looked up.
Then, he expressed his gratitude with a fresh smile.
“Thank you, Baron.”
“Now, can you show me the way? “So I can go back quickly.”
“Yes, this way.”
The boy confidently led us to the shortcut.
As if responding to this, I took the lead alongside him and returned to the top of Berk.
“….”
However, the princess and princess stood still for a moment and looked at our backs.
Soon, they left meaningful words to each other.
“Isn’t it nice to see?”
“Yes, they are like father and son.”
Is it because our opinions coincided for the first time in a long time?
“In our Bakal, even when a child is born, the parents don’t know how to express it.”
“It’s the same for us. “They don’t give advice like Bale does.”
The monarchs continued their conversation in a somewhat softer tone.
“Perhaps in that respect, Veil is a statue of an ideal father.”
The two women looked at each other intently as they came to an agreement for the first time.
Then, perhaps because he thought he was a competitor, he cleared his throat and turned his head.
“You two, welcome!! “I can already see the float procession!!”
I smiled brightly and shouted to the two noble women.
Then, they followed suit with a grin.
“Of course, Veil.”
“I’ll be there soon-.”
The closer you get to the top, the more you start to see huge carts and carriages.
I was so moved by the grand procession that I had never seen even in my previous life.
“Isn’t it amazing? “It’s so huge that I don’t even need to show you the way, right?”
The boy said, pointing to the carriages with nameplates on the top of Berk.
He seems proud of his affiliation.
“That’s right. “This is my first time seeing such large-scale trade.”
“It’s really nice of you to be in charge of something like this, Baron. “Will that day ever come for me?”
He asked me with an excited expression.
As if responding to this, I cheered him on with a soft smile.
“Of course, if you just work hard like now, you too will have a top prize with your name on it one day.”
While the two were talking and walking.
We finally faced Sangsanju Burke.
“Oh…. “You are here, Lord Bale!!”
Sangsanju dressed in a neat suit.
Even he, a member of the Golden Apple and a local rich man, creaked as if he was nervous.
It has to be that way.
The two women coming up behind me.
No matter who you meet on the continent, you can’t help but feel nervous when you meet them. They are noble people.
“Hwa, to see Her Majesty and the Princess. “I am Burke, the upper lord.”
The two women quickly returned to the noble look of a monarch.
It was different when the three of us were together.
The expression management was amazing, as if a switch had been pressed.
“I have heard many stories, Lord Burke. “It was a huge success.”
“Please take care of me all the way to the capital, Burke.”
Sang Sang-ju looked happy at the two women’s ecstatic smiles.
This is finally the start of entering the capital of my dreams.
“We have already made all preparations so that we can depart immediately.”
He pointed to the gorgeous carriage the women would ride.
“If you just give me the order, I will leave right away.”
Burke personally opened the carriage door and invited them to board.
However, Tina preferred horses as she did during the escort journey, and only Lydia rode them.
“The quality is definitely good, and it is separated from the coach seats.”
“Yes, we respected the princess’s privacy and created a space completely separate from the interior.”
Burke answered happily.
I was relieved to see that and was able to focus on Tina comfortably.
“Your Royal Highness, can you use the exact words you came with?”
“Well, I guess I’m a little tired.”
I looked at Tina’s dark horse.
No matter how strong he is, he looks quite tired from coming all the way from Bakkal to here.
So, I requested to borrow Berk’s horse.
“You are very considerate as expected, Baron.”
Burk smiled strangely at my attitude.
I shuddered at the sly look in the man’s eyes.
“It’s not like that, so hurry up and get the horse…” .”
“Yes, I just happened to prepare a great pair.”
The owner introduced a pair of white horses with beautiful manes.
It’s definitely a target group, so there’s nothing missing.
“It is difficult to ride because its legs are longer than other horses, but the riding comfort is amazing.”
“Really? Indeed… “He was handsome.”
Tina approached her horse, looking back and forth between me and her horse.
Then, Lydia stuck out her face and looked at us from inside her carriage.
“….”
A pair of white horses and a pair of men and women.
I even saddled the horse myself and carefully helped Tina ride the horse.
Lydia stared at him with her characteristic red eyes.
That moment.
――――――.
“Ugh… ?”
The princess felt a strange energy coming from her choker around her own neck.
An artifact that makes her body heat up as if it were her own whenever she feels a certain emotion.
“What on earth is this…?” ?”
The princess took a deep breath, as if she had not just suffered from cognitive decline.
“Now, please take my hand. “If you say one, two, three, you’re jumping.”
Not knowing that, I was just helping Tina with her horseback riding.
“One, two, three… !”
Tina lifted her voluptuous thighs and settled on her words.
Then, at that moment, the saddle shook and began to slip.
“Uh… ! “Be careful!”
From Noble mtl dot com
I immediately stuck my hand into the saddle.
And, the moment to set the position.
“Huh….”
The back of her hand landed on Tina’s voluptuous thigh.
“… !”
It feels soft and naughty thanks to wearing white stockings.
I could feel the hot body temperature as my hand was pressed against the soft skin.
“Oh my, I’m sorry.”
Tina smiled awkwardly, as if feeling sorry.
“I didn’t know and just sat there.”
“Gwae, it’s okay…” . However, please wake up….”
Tina was clearly apologizing verbally.
Furthermore, she was good at horseback riding.
But.
The princess’s thigh was still sitting on my hand, gently rubbing my hand mischievously.
As if you were making fun of me.
“Well, that is…” !”
Lydia was watching that scene intently.
Her small eyebrows soon frowned.
“How dare you…” Mine….”
Her youngest princess glared at Tina like a wild beast without realizing it.
That moment.
“Ugh….”
The choker around her neck started to make her body even hotter, as if reacting to her jealousy.
Cheongsam that was already tightening the whole body.
Moreover, as her neck was tightened with her necklace, her whole body felt sensitive.
“Why on earth is this happening again…? .”
Lydia put her fingers between her tight choker and her neck.
Then, she pulled and tried to stop her tightening.
“Ugh….”
I heard her moan quietly.
Then I turned my head and looked towards the carriage.
“….”
However, the princess’s eyes disappeared into her carriage a long time ago.
I tilted her head and barely took Tina’s hand off her thigh.
Soon, the ship carrying mithril departed.
Huge carriages and carts left Cornell in a line and headed toward the capital of the empire.
The long procession was so grand.
Everyone, regardless of age or gender, came out of their homes and watched the spectacle.
“Maintain your speed!!”
There are plenty of mercenaries from Berk’s upper ranks as escorts, so there are no security issues.
At this level, there is no need for me to act as a guarantor.
But, why?
For some reason, I was still feeling anxious.
A little while ago, when I was putting Tina on her horse.
I suddenly felt a dark atmosphere coming from Lydia’s carriage.
‘Are you okay…? .’
Out of sheer anger, she rode her horse and approached Lydia’s carriage.
Then, I tapped on her curtained window.
“Your Majesty, is the ride comfortable?”
When I asked, Lydia finally answered after a while.
“It’s okay…” .”
‘The voice is a little strange…’ .’
You seem to be out of breath.
Feeling strange, I took a deep breath.
And. I left the horse I was riding for a while to a mercenary who was riding alongside me.
“Please take care of me for a while. “I want to see your highness.”
“I understand. Please hand over the reins.”
I slowly put my feet on the saddle.
Then, he jumped onto the carriage and landed on the stairs.
“Your Highness, I will go inside for a moment.”
“….”
When there was no answer from inside, I opened the door.
And then, I went inside carefully.
“… !”
The inside of the carriage was hot like a sauna.
As if heated by someone’s heat.
“Her Highness Lydia… ?”
I approached Lydia, who was lying on the sheet with her back turned.
Is it because of the cheongsam that clings to her body?
Her dizzying pelvis caught my eye.
“….”
The sight made her mouth water.
However, I swallowed hard and slowly tapped her shoulder.
“Are you okay…” .”
I finally met her face.
However, I began to feel a strong artifact energy from the choker I gave as a gift.
“What is this…?” ? “Wasn’t it simply an attempt to reduce awareness?”
While I was frowning.
Lydia slowly turned her head and looked up at me.
“Veil, are you here?” ?”
I stared blankly at the face of the princess I met.
Because….
Her eyes were more wild and mature than usual.
Furthermore, the canines stuck out as if they had awakened to instinct.
A lot of transparent saliva was flowing down from her mouth.
“This looks like…” .”
Like a female beast in heat.
“You… What on earth did you give me as a gift? “
Lydia muttered under her hot breath.
Me touching Tina’s thighs.
After seeing her like that, she didn’t know what to do about her rapidly heating up body.
Like a jealous female.
“This necklace made me feel strange a while ago….”
The princess stood up from her chair.
And then, looking down at me sitting next to her, she said.
“You gave me such an obscene item….”
The cheongsam clings closely to her body, making her bust line stand out.
A long piece of fabric follows the curve of her navel and falls all the way to my crotch.
“I guess that means you were hoping for it too… ?”
Her fair pelvis can be seen on both sides of the long-cut cheongsam.
There was a strange underwear knot tied with a string.
“Well, Your Highness…” . This is because of an artifact… !!”
I urgently shouted to her.
I never dreamed that Artifact had this function.
“It looks like I misunderstood its purpose. Please take it off!”
However, the princess grinned, perhaps already accustomed to the feeling of this tightening around her neck.
“You gave me these things as a gift…” . Behind the scenes, he covets the thighs of a foreign princess….”
The princess closed her curtains on her window even more tightly.
“I will begin questioning this, Baron.”
