Chapter 91
##091
A girl was looking in the mirror.
The girl in the mirror was in tears, but she smiled.
“Abama said you will be pretty when you grow up!”
I thought positively that a face that looked like a long cucumber would one day become a pretty apple.
However, I couldn’t go beyond a certain area of the palace, because of a certain incident.
-monster… monster!!!
She once sneaked out of the palace, when a boy she encountered saw her and caused a commotion.
Fortunately, rumors were prevented from spreading widely, but it was an open secret among the rich.
“One day, a prince on a white horse… … !”
Actually, her looks didn’t matter.
Her father was the king of the kingdom of Ibel. The family is Habs, who is said to be the best in the Yul Continent.
Even at this moment, hawks from influential noble families all over the land of Yul were not ending.
“princess.”
“Boryn. Are Obama’s words true? Will I really be able to become pretty when I grow up?”
In fact, the only person who said such absurd stories was his own father, King Pelli.
“Should I be honest?”
Bo-ryun, her exclusive maid, lowered her head and made eye contact with the princess. Then, with a very serious expression.
“The Habs family’s genetic disease gets worse as they grow older. You know the princess too, right? You can tell just by looking at His Majesty the King right now.”
“ah… no! It can’t be. Aunt Theresia of the Synsenrom Empire is beautiful.”
“He was beautiful even as a child. Now, look here.”
The maid took out a photo album from her bosom and showed it.
“This is a picture taken by the Empress of the Sinsenrom Empire when she was young. It is not a distorted picture drawn by a painter. You can buy it at any bookstore.”
“No way… … .”
“Pass it. One piece, one piece.”
The princess flipped through the photo album with trembling hands.
Surprisingly, on the last page, there was a picture of the Empress of the Sinsenrom Empire, whom she knew well.
The series of processes were so natural. It proved to be her photo.
“Ahh… Sobbing. Obama Mama. Obama cheated on me.”
“Because the princess shouldn’t be heartbroken. The value of a princess does not come from appearance.”
“Sobbing… Boryeon… Are you comforting me?”
“yes. of course. A princess is a precious person. Even now, men who want to marry the princess are lining up.”
At those words, the princess tilted her head instead of shedding tears.
“I… really?”
“yes. So you have to eat hard. Of course, those men will not love the princess. I will resent and curse you for marrying a princess for the rest of your life.”
“Then why would you want to marry me?!”
“That’s not their doctor. their family name. It is what their parents want.”
At those words, the princess seemed quite shocked.
I couldn’t speak for a while and my eyes were closed.
She was intelligent for her age and could understand what the lady-in-waiting said.
“no. It is a lie. It can’t be!!”
“Princess knows everything. Now you have to wake up from your dream.”
Yes.
The princess was vaguely aware of this fact.
The fact that the older you get, the more your face becomes more and more elongated like a cucumber, no, like an eggplant.
“Ahh… I want to be alone. Boreon.”
“Please make up your mind. princess.”
The maid quietly went out the door.
Her face was twisted and smiling.
“dare. my! It’s because you interfered with my love!”
In fact, she had a fiancé before, but it broke out.
It was when the princess was born.
The family of the man who promised to marry her changed their course to marry the princess.
“It’s all your fault. Ugly.”
For revenge, she entered the palace and became a maid.
Being the daughter of a count, it was not difficult to become a lady-in-waiting.
However, it was not easy to seize the opportunity… … .
Coincidentally, the king was directly involved in calming the situation in the strait.
It was a chance.
Kirik!
Inside the room, I heard the sound of a string hanging from a tree.
I wish the princess would commit suicide by hanging herself… I thought.
“I just need to disappear… … !”
Because she was a princess with a positive mind, she did not choose to commit suicide.
However, because she did not want to make her future husband unhappy, she decided to disappear on her own.
She decided to make a rope out of bedspreads, put the pocket money she had saved up, and run away.
‘I’m going to the new continent. I just need to live quietly there alone.’
I also forgot to leave a short letter.
-Abama. Don’t look for infidels. I’m off to find someone I love
In fact, the reason she left this letter was her wisdom.
It was a strategy to get married according to his will if he was caught.
Since he even ran away, the threat will work well enough later.
* * *
The Going Misha arrived at New Mother Lead, the capital of the Ibel Kingdom and a huge port.
There were long buildings built along the gentle slope. At the end of it was a splendid and beautiful palace.
It was a beautiful city that could only be seen in cartoons.
“Lian. You might really regret it.”
For some reason, Lian’s stepmother was nagging.
Perhaps because of the slave imprint, he seems genuinely worried about Lian.
“You don’t have to worry. Because I have thoughts.”
“If you marry a princess, you can’t even think of a concubine.”
“hmm… … .”
As a man, legally… Harem… … .
Then, he shook his head.
‘If I were an ordinary nobleman, that would be the case.’
From the count, polygamy was prescribed by law.
In fact, this was created to keep each other in check.
In ancient times, there was a law called an equal division of inheritance, and the inheritance was to be divided equally among the brothers.
As a result, even a family with enormous power was split into several, resulting in a weakening of power.
Although, of course, now almost abolished, polygamy remained.
“If you remain as an ordinary count, you will do so with royal authority.”
“ah… … .”
The Countess, who had peeked at Lian’s will, realized that she was giving useless advice.
Even if it wasn’t an ordinary count, it would be impossible if it was a duke of the country, but if it was a duke of another country or more, the words would be different.
“Anyway, thanks for the advice. If you leave here, you will go to my estate, so be prepared.”
“So that’s what… Liana.”
“Do not worry. I have no intention of harming you if I give up my cause. On the contrary, the manpower shortage is severe, so I can’t use it because I don’t even have dog poop.”
Why do we need brothers if the conquered lands are next to each other?
Of course, the scarecrow brothers would be needed to fight against external forces, but Lian’s case was different now.
Lian’s main territory, the Earl of Leon, is located in the northwest corner of the Yul continent.
The land of the New Continent received from King Ibel.
Some lands on Airy Island, a colony of the Ingleson Kingdom, to be newly acquired.
“that… yes? I don’t educate you well. never let me go against you.”
“I would appreciate it if you could.”
After saying that, Lian got off the Going Missha.
Immediately, the vice-captain and Charlotte followed Lian’s side.
Their eyes were burning, for Lian’s safety.
“Little boy. Did you really get land in the New Continent?!”
“Ahem. Now you can go anywhere and call me the real count. hehehe.”
“Great. I thought I would go to the new continent after living my life.”
Dada da da dat!
At that time, a girl from an aristocratic family came running towards Lian.
Of course, the back of the back was caught in the hands of the vice-captain.
“this… Let go of this!!”
The girl screamed in the air and shook her whole body, and soon the cloth covering her face fell off.
The exposed face looked like a branch placed on a human torso.
That wasn’t enough, the skin resembled a cucumber.
“Please come down. Vice-Captain.”
“what. If it’s the captain’s order.”
The vice-captain politely responds to Lian’s polite tone.
It was quick to notice.
When Lian acted like that, it was when he was possessed as an impostor.
“Lady, are you not hurt anywhere? I apologize for being rude to my subordinate.”
At Lian’s words, the vice-captain slightly frowned.
Something too much was too much.
Moreover, the opponent girl is the ugly of the ugly.
“divination… are you okay.”
The girl blushed.
That’s why Lian was like a little prince who would appear in a fairy tale book.
The kind of prince on a white horse his father used to talk to at the bedside.
In addition, he is the captain of a ship dealing with tough subordinates.
“That… excuse me. I have a favor.”
“A request from a beautiful lady would be worth listening to.”
“Cuck! ah… beautiful… … .”
The girl’s face turned to blush.
“So what are you asking? Lady?”
“that… that is… new continent. I want to go to the new continent. I heard the story. You’re going to the new continent… … .”
The voice of the vice-captain must have been heard.
Rihanna, of course.
‘Ah-oh. It looks like this immature lady has run away. The land of the new continent was given to you by your father.’
Of course, I didn’t show it on the outside, and I showed a smile as much as I could.
“ha ha ha. Do you have a fare?”
“hmm… hmm… that is… … .”
upset girl.
It’s probably because you don’t have any money.
He must have been there until he left the palace.
However, since he came out without an escort wearing such luxurious clothes, he had no choice but to become an easy prey for pickpockets.
“uh… how to do. Sobbing… … .”
Eventually, she sat down and cried.
“The floor is dirty. Lady. Wake up.”
Ryan took her hand and lifted her up.
The girl was crying and blushing in embarrassment.
“Where shall we listen?”
Rian boarded the Going Missha again for her.
Of course, I told the vice-captain in a whisper.
-Please tell His Majesty that it will be a little late.
After boarding the boat, she looked around curiously.
He had boarded a much larger first-class battleship, but this was his first ironclad ship.
“cool. This boat… It’s made of iron, but does it float in the sea?”
“I am still on the sea.”
Lian smiled and explained various things.
The act of kindness made the girl seem happy for a moment.
“Captain. This is the dessert you ordered to prepare.”
“thank you. Chef.”
Ryan immediately called the kitchen to prepare dessert.
The outside is black as if it were burnt, but when you eat it, it is crispy and the inside is moist and sweet.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
“that is… a little… … .”
It was natural to not get out of hand.
It was because the visuals were so eccentric.
“It was difficultly prepared by the head chef… I will have to throw it away.”
Let Rihanna put on a disappointed expression.
“ah… no!! I will eat.”
The princess was hungry after coming here from the palace.
It’s a little hard to see, but it’s true that I’m hungry.
Crispy!
She immediately took a bite of the dessert.
“Wow!! It’s so delicious!”
Of course it must be delicious.
In the palace, you must have managed your diet to manage your appearance.
You would never have eaten a dessert that looked like junk food that had been injected with a sugar bomb like that.
“Then eat mine too.”
“I… Are you really okay?”
When I was young, I was told that my liking for sweets was because of my taste cells.
Lian possessed a young body, but she didn’t like too sweet food, probably because of memories from when she was an adult.
Should I say that it hurts just to look at it?
I feel sick to my stomach.
I was thinking that I should ask the chef to roll a bowl of rice soup later.
“yes. Anything.”
Rian treated her warmly like soup.
On the one hand, I felt sorry for him.
How much heartache did you have at a young age?
“Ahh. thank you.”
“But why do you want to go to the new continent? Are there any relatives there?”
“no… in fact… … .”
The girl explained the general situation, leaving out the fact that she was a princess.
Rian frowned slightly at her words and spat out the words unconsciously.
“The lady-in-waiting is in the dark… … .”
“yes?!”
“The lady-in-waiting did too much. Don’t listen too much to that mean woman.”
“no. I know I am ugly.”
Ryan shook his head at her words.
“The outside of any being is important, but more important than that is the substance inside. Like the dessert you just ate.”
“Do you really think so?”
“yes. And Lady is a prize that gets pretty when she grows up. You are still pretty. Lady.”
Ryan smiled.
To be honest, if you look at her eyes, nose, and mouth apart, she is definitely a beauty.
The problem is that heterogeneous face shape.
“really… Do you really think so?”
“yes. My words are by no means false.”
A girl who is about to shed tears at Lian’s words.
at that time.
Chalkang chalkang!!
Someone hurriedly climbed onto the Going Missha.
“Is Count Leon here?!”
“What happened?”
The vice-captain stepped forward and blocked the front.
“There is something going on at the palace right now, so the victory party will be delayed a bit.”
“Great. Our Count is a bit busy… What the hell is going on?”
“that is… Let me tell you… What?! Princess Mama!!!”
The royal guards who came to Lian recognized the princess.
The princess drooped down and apologized to Lian.
“sorry. I didn’t mean to cheat… … .”
“Meet the princess. Introducing again. This is Count Lian Leon. I’ve already heard the situation, so I don’t resent it. So don’t worry. princess.”
Ryan greeted her politely.
“thank you. Count. If you don’t mind, could you take me to Obama?”
“I am willing. It’s closer than the New Continent.”
