I Became a Bookkeeper the Monarchs Are Obsessed With chapter 60

60 – Tactics exam – 5

Charles Jean Rochepole felt the soft touch of his mouth. He had touched his own lips a few times, but it was the first time he had touched someone else’s. Even in the midst of that, Charles thought. A kiss is softer than you think. But why am I kissing you? How the hell did things turn out like this?

Charles was a 25-year-old man who had served in the military, but had never kissed. It’s because I’ve never had a girlfriend since I was born. Before being possessed by Charles, Lee Si-woo was also interested in women, but there was something better than women. that was the game

That’s why, even when I first confessed to him, I just thought ‘work has become a nuisance’, but I didn’t think of going out with this person. The sudden kiss that came to Lee Si-woo, who had lived for 25 years, was too stimulating. Siwoo Lee felt his face heat up. And I grabbed the princess by the shoulders and tried to push her away…

‘Muh, what power… ‘

Princess Leonia’s strength, whose armed stats ranged from the late 80’s to the early 90’s, was not at a level that Charles could resist. Leonia grabbed Charles by the wrist and continued kissing him without letting go.

Next to him, Professor Merkatz and the Illusion Wizards were watching with astonished expressions. Maris even had tears in her eyes at what was so sad about it. It must have been shocking to see an obscene scene for the first time. Charles felt like wanting to disappear right now, but the princess didn’t let go easily.

And after a certain amount of time, Princess Leonia let go of Charles’s wrist as if she was satisfied. And that was what he said.

“Charles.”

Charles stared blankly at Princess Leonia’s face, not even thinking that he had to answer. Her lips felt exceptionally red. And she spoke

“I seem to have a crush on you.”

When Charles heard that, his senses flashed. Did Princess Leonia fall for herself? I’m happy in my heart, but if I respond wrong here, my throat could fly off.

“Your Highness, I have eyes to see. Please get out of here first.”

Then, the princess looked around and said with a slightly reddened face.

“I’ll be waiting for you there at nine o’clock this afternoon.”

there. Charles seemed to know where it was. It was because it was the only place where the princess and Charles could meet.

Meanwhile, Princess Leonia could not control her pounding heart. She had always thought that Charles had a special talent, but this time Leonia realized that her interest in Charles was more than just an interest.

Princess Leonia honed her talents from a young age with the determination to die. It had to be. Because the family wanted it.

The Arcadia family, whose empire is the imperial family, had a tradition of abandoning humanity in front of the empire. That’s because it was a tradition to have brothers fight each other every time they succeeded to the throne.

The successors to the throne are dispatched to each region to be sealed as nobles, and the nobles fight among themselves, and the one who stands at the head succeeds the next emperor. In this way, the most competent among the brothers becomes the next emperor. That was the tradition of the Arcadian family.

However, this did not mean that all brothers inherited the land equally. The higher the right of succession to the throne, the richer and larger the land, and the lower the succession, the more desolate or unstable politically and diplomatically unstable.

Princess Leonia was such a case. Princess Leonia was a woman and only the third child, and as such was given a less favorable land than her other siblings.

In order for Princess Leonia to survive, she didn’t have to hone her talents on her own. In order to become like the previous emperor who killed all of his brothers and ascended the throne himself, he yearned for being competent and vowed to become more competent like the previous emperor, no.

It appeared while he was grinding and polishing himself by risking his life and reducing his sleep every day. It was a person who had abilities comparable to his own in mock battles.

Charles Jean Rochepole. He, who was ordinary until the entrance exam, suddenly awakened his tremendous ability and overwhelmingly defeated Yuria Russell and Isabel de Poitiers, who were regarded as his left and right arms and would be responsible for the military advancement of the next generation of princesses.

Was it an innate talent? Or was it an acquired, polished effort? Either way, the princess was fascinated by that talent and vowed to subdue him under her feet and subjugate her as her subordinate.

That’s why I pointed him out this time. This time, it was his intention to show the superiority of his talent and prove that he was the best, to make him fall in love with his competence and accept him as his subordinate.

However, Princess Leonia was defeated. Although he himself had been able to defeat Cronor-gun by using strategic tactics he had prepared for a long time, Charles-Jean Rochepole had suffered less damage and had won more completely. That was despite the fact that he didn’t have as much preparation time as Princess Leonia.

At that moment, Princess Leonia realized. He said that what he admired was competence, and that Charles Jean Rochepole’s competence surpassed even him.

At this, Princess Leonia felt a deep sense of defeat. It felt like my mind had surrendered at will, even though I didn’t want to. But at the same time, I felt my heart beating relentlessly. It was because there was a person with the competence that Princess Leonia had longed for her whole life.

At that moment, Princess Leonia could not stand her raging heart. She didn’t know if it was the joy of discovering what she had been pursuing her whole life, or the joy of meeting her ideal type, but Princess Leonia was the type to put her actions ahead of her heart. And, he grabbed Charles by the wrist.

“Charles Jean Rochepole.”

It was unfamiliar until a few months ago, but now I called the name that was so familiar. When I called out the name that had been swirling in my head all day, I felt a little more at ease.

“What the hell are you?”

Are you a demon who came to destroy you, or an angel who came to give you wings? I don’t know which one, but what was certain was that it was incredibly attractive.

In the garden of the villa in the suburbs of Arcadia, Princess Leonia continued to think about Charles. Obviously, I remembered that it was daytime when I started, but it got dark before I knew it.

And exactly when the clock pointed to nine o’clock, the mansion door opened.

“majesty.”

A familiar voice rings in my ears. Princess Leonia knew the person behind the voice all too well.

“Charles.”

Charles Jean Rochepole. He had been messing with Leonia’s mind lately. Princess Leonia got up and greeted Charles. Charles greeted Leonia with respect for the royal family and immediately opened his mouth.

“About what happened during the day… ”

“Sit down for now. YuRia, some tea.”

Then Yuria, who was escorting the princess by her side, instructed the maid to pick up the car. A moment of silence passed between Charles and Leonia. Shortly after the maid got into the car, Princess Leonia opened her mouth.

“Charles, what have you been doing today?”

“Yes? I managed and supervised the training of the newly created mercenary group… ”

“What did you eat? who did you meet What were you thinking about today?”

“… ”

Only then did Charles realize. Princess Leonia’s face was somewhat flushed. A flushed face, a gaze staring in this direction, a somewhat defenseless figure. The woman who confessed to herself in the past was also like this.

“majesty.”

“What is it?”

“Regardless of the country, men basically have an advantage in succession to the title. Because women have to give birth to children in order to carry on the family line, and while they are pregnant, they cannot take care of government affairs or fight. However, this does not mean that female nobles are at a disadvantage. There are rare cases where female nobles have an advantage. Do you know when?”

“… I mean marriage.”

“Yes. All a male noble can gain by marriage is the marriage alliance, the money brought by the marriage, and the succession to a small or rarely followed territory. However, in the case of female aristocrats with their own estates, marriage can be even more useful. For example, when the first son of a fief is defeated by the second son and driven out of the fief, the woman marries the first son to gain nominal ownership of the first son’s de jure, that is, the fief. Even if you take away the second son’s territory by force at any time, it is justified and the people’s resistance is reduced. Not to mention what a huge advantage that would be if the territory was at the level of a kingdom rather than a county or duchy.”

“Because among the many dependent countries of Arcadia, there are not a few countries that only recognize male succession.”

“Yes. The Arcadian Empire recognizes female succession equally, but Swadia does not recognize female succession at all, while the southern kingdom of Cylonia only partially recognizes female succession. That is, just being a woman can present an opportunity to swallow another country whole. That is Her Highness’s comparative advantage over the princes.”

“That’s right.”

At that moment, tears began to flow from Leonia’s eyes. Yuria Russell took out a handkerchief, embarrassed by the tears flowing from the princess’ eyes.

“Charles! Why the hell is Her Highness shedding tears! You must have done something!”

Yuria got angry and asked Charles, but Charles only replied like this.

“Wasn’t Yuria-nim watching from the side too? Could I have harmed Her Highness without Yuria-sama knowing?”

“But Her Highness, the princess won’t shed tears for no reason! You must be up to something… ”

“Your Highness, it is late at night. I am afraid that if I stay too late at your villa, I will cause misunderstanding. I’m leaving for today, so please call me again next time.”

“So be it. Next time I would like to invite Isabel and your friends to have a lively tea party.”

“Anytime.”

Charles stood up from his seat with a bitter smile on his face. Yuria Russell would not understand the conversation between Charles and the princess. To Yuria, it must have been nothing more than boring politics.

However, Princess Leonia, who had a good head, was able to grasp Charles’ intentions just by turning around and hinting very insinuatively. Leonia thought. He said that he might have been happier if he hadn’t had the talent for politics, if he hadn’t had the ability to understand Charles’ words like Yuria Russell.
