67 – First Test – 5
“uuu…”
“Is it complicated?”
“Yes yes…”
“It’s the tallest building in the country, so it’s like that.”
“Wow…”
Veronica held my hand and her eyes shone in amazement.
“What’s wrong with that?”
“That’s an insignia with the pattern of the royal palace.”
“That… That dog!”
“It’s a magic golem. It does miscellaneous manual labor.”
“That dog?”
“…Just a regular guard?”
Perhaps it was because he was a 4-year-old child, he was so curious that he overflowed.
As the king of a country, I didn’t have to answer all of Veronica’s questions, but it wasn’t easy to ignore an innocent child.
“Wow…That’s amazing…”
“Hmm…Isn’t it strange? It must be in the mansion of the Duke of Bloodia, too?”
“The mansion…? Is it your house?”
“Yes, your house.”
“In my house, there is only Mr. White and my older sisters.”
From noble mtl dot com
“…Vampires?”
It seemed to be a name for Mr. White, his sisters, and possibly the vampire attendants working in the mansion of the Duke of Bloodia.
Because vampires have pale and white skin.
“Yes! It’s white and red!”
“Is that the same for you?”
“Come on!”
“hahahaha, that’s right… By the way, they’re about to arrive at the chancellor’s office soon.”
“What’s up?”
“Sure. Soon you will be able to meet your father.”
“hehehe… Thank you…”
“What is thanks…”
Since the Duke of Bloodia is a person full of love for his family, it seems that his daughter also loves him a lot. Originally, it wouldn’t be easy for a father to be popular with his daughter…
But what the f*ck is that kind of person trying to marry a child to an old man? I need to get serious about this part.
“By the way, who are you?”
“You mean me?”
“Yes, I’m trying to put clothes on you, Kata, a very old man.”
“…Well…”
So, to interpret it… Is it saying, ‘I think I’m a very tall person because my clothes are so fancy’…?
They say there are few things as difficult as talking to a child… I never thought that would be true…
“I am the king of this insignificant country.”
“The King? You’re the King Jinja?”
“Then would I lie?”
There is no reason to hide it. I just decided to tell Veronica my true identity. It’s also a fact that you’ll find out when you meet the prime minister anyway.
“So…Then what about my yakonja?”
“…A fiancé… You mean?”
“Yes! Show it to my father! I’m talking to the king of this country!”
“Hmm…”
What the Duke of Bloodia was talking about?
Originally, it is a tradition not to inform the engagement between young nobles until the child is over 10 years old…
“Your father must have been a little mistaken. I am not your fiancé, Veronica.”
“Hey… Isn’t it Yakonza?”
“…Wait…Why are you crying…?!”
What did I do and why are you dragging me..?
“Huh… But… Marie, my father said that if the king is a yakonja, he should take the helm…”
“Hmm… I think your father got it wrong. There’s really nothing good about being my fiancé.”
“Hardiman… I said that if you meet Yakonja, you’ll get a lot of masit…”
“That…If you’re worried about that, that’s fine! Even if you don’t become my fiancé, I’ll send you refreshments over to Veronica’s house often.”
“What’s wrong? Will you give me some snacks?”
“Sure. If you want, I can also send you fresh fruit juice made from local fruits.”
“Wow…That’s it!”
“Uh..Uhh..Yes..”
Anyway, Veronica seemed to have no idea what an engagement was.
Just when her father said, ‘Let’s get engaged,’ Veronica said, ‘Oh, that’s right!’ While doing so, it is clear that she accepted.
“..Veronica, what do you think an engagement is?”
“Yacon..? Do you eat a lot of masit?”
“…….”
Look at that. I knew it would be like this.
“Huh…I see. You like delicious food…So Veronica, what’s your favorite food?”
“Umm…The most enjoyable thing…”
Veronica, like a young mathematician facing one of the world’s seven most difficult problems, began to fall into deep trouble at my question.
Is it difficult to pick one favorite food? I thought for a moment, but in fact, if someone asked me to choose my favorite food, I definitely wouldn’t have the confidence to choose just one.
Originally, sometimes I want to eat fish, sometimes meat, and sometimes vegetables.
“It’s too young… It’s too much to drink…”
“Don’t force yourself to answer. Your original favorite food changes every day.”
“Really?”
“Sure. So, isn’t the meal menu different every day at your house?”
“Hmm… It’s Hardy, but our Given, every day, only red blood comes out..”
“…..”
I had forgotten, but now that I think about it, the Bloodia family was originally a vampire family. In other words, the menu of the Duke of Bloodia’s meal is mainly human blood.
But why does the vampire, Veronica, hate blood?
“Does Veronica hate blood?”
“Sir! It’s fishy! And it smells like a fork!”
“..You don’t like the smell of iron.”
A vampire who hates blood…I’ve lived many years, but this is the first time in my life.
Vampires are a race that can eat meat or vegetables like humans, but they prefer human blood because they can survive for several days with a small amount of human blood.
I heard that the taste of high-quality steak comes from human blood.
“My father eats everything, but when he eats, he eats sour! Give me something hot every day!”
“Didn’t Dad change her meal for Veronica?”
“If a vampire has to be a vampire, make him drink blood all the time! I hate him!”
“Try talking to your father once more. Then maybe he’ll do you a favor.”
“I don’t see it… I wanted to have a younger brother the other day, but he didn’t show up…”
“I see…”
For reference, the Duchess of Bloodia, the hostess of the Duke of Bloodia, died the very next day after giving birth to Veronica.
She said that her body was not good from the beginning, but it got worse because of her pregnancy, so she eventually changed her name.
“I’m sick with my younger brother, but my father never asks me…”
“That’s because your father wants to focus all his affection on Veronica.”
“Um…But I’d like to have a little brother…”
“What would you do if your father gave affection only to his new brother?”
“That…It’s not for rent!”
“Right? So, don’t be kind to the chancellor by saying that you want to have her younger brother.”
“Yes.. Yes yes..!”
The chancellor loved her own wife very much.
The loss she felt when she lost her wife must have been so great.
In fact, on the day the chancellor lost her wife, I witnessed him shed tears for the first time.
‘Every time Veronica brought up the story of her sister, it must have been heartbreaking.’
It’s not that he doesn’t want to give Veronica her sister as a gift. She
He didn’t do her favor because he couldn’t.
“Well, now you have arrived at your father’s office.”
“Mr..! This is my father’s notice!”
After that, after walking around for a few more minutes, we arrived at the chancellor’s office.
As soon as Veronica saw the door to the richly decorated chancellor’s office, she smiled brightly and ran to the door.
She then knocked on the door and displayed her cute knock, “How old is your father?”
“Come in.”
“Yes yes!”
When Veronica heard the dignified voice of the chancellor, she struggled to open the door to her office.
Then I saw the scenery inside the office, where the prime minister and the chamberlain Isaac were sitting on the sofa.
It must have been in the middle of a work-related conversation.
“…Your Majesty? How could I… With my daughter?”
“He lost his way. No matter how busy he is at work, isn’t he neglecting his daughter too much?”
“I told you to stay in the next room after seeing the child…”
Huh…? What was it like?
It was said that something was strange, but it seems that Veronica disobeyed her chancellor’s words and wandered around the palace on her own.
Come to think of it, there was no way that her chancellor, who loved her daughter very much, would have left Veronica unattended.
“Veronica, is she or is she just wandering around?”
“Hadimyeon…So boring…”
“Didn’t you bring me because you wanted to come and see it yourself?”
“I…I’m sorry…”
“As a punishment, I will only satisfy my hunger with blood for dinner tonight.”
“Eh.. Eh.. Too much…”
Veronica made a sullen expression at her Chancellor’s words and twitched her lips.
She wanted to make an excuse, but she seemed to hold back because she was afraid that if she said more, she would be punished severely.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
“It’s okay. Rather, it was nice to have a company to talk to while taking a walk.”
“hahahaha, is that so? Then give me a positive answer about engagement…”
“Prime Minister…Anyway, she’s 4 years old. 4 Years old. She’s still at an age where she doesn’t even know what an engagement is.”
“Is age an issue? Then, when Veronica is an adult, she will bring her story up again.”
“No .. Isn’t that the problem? Why is she trying to get her daughter engaged to me?”
The chancellor is the third most powerful person in the kingdom. She gets whatever she wants, and her vault is filled with just her breath.
Besides, she must not be greedy even the prime minister herself, so I don’t know why she’s so anxious to get her daughter engaged to me.
“That’s…”
The chancellor put on an expression as if she was troubled by my doubtful question, and she slowly opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind.
“… In fact, Veronica, my daughter-in-law, wished to be betrothed to Her Majesty.”
…?
“Ah..Father..! If you say that…!”
“…Huh…?”
…What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about all of a sudden…?
“…hahahaha…You’ve been joking lately, Chancellor. Then, let’s get down to business…”
“It’s not a joke, it’s the truth, Your Majesty. My daughter, Veronica, wants her to be betrothed to His Majesty.”
“…So maybe Veronica doesn’t know much about her engagement…”
“Veronica already knows that her engagement is an act of promising a marriage.”
“Ah…Father…That’s it…”
Wait. Let’s think.
…
…..
…….
No, no matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense…?
“Prime Minister, you are too playful. What kind of engagement is a child who doesn’t even know my face talking about?”
“Veronica already knew Her Majesty’s face. Didn’t Her Majesty personally come out of the palace during her procession a year ago? Veronica was also with me at that time.”
“Uh…”
Yes.
Veronica was not an innocent four-year-old.
On the contrary, she was a very scheming and evil child.
“..Then how could you lie to me…”
“Vampire children’s brain growth is about twice as fast as human children’s. The reason my daughter’s pronunciation is poor is simply because her tongue is underdeveloped, but her actual brain function is very different from that of an 8-year-old child. There will be none.”
“…I got hit…That’s right too.”
As I quietly turned my head to Veronica and looked at her, she tilted her head as she sent me her pure eyes, ‘I don’t know anything.’
f*ck, this is definitely acting.
“…Veronica?”
“..Yes..Yes yes..?”
“Why did you lie to me?”
“That’s because I didn’t lie…”
“Veronica, do you intend to lie to your Majesty? Only the truth is to be spoken in the presence of a king.”
“Ugh… Ugh…”
At that moment, Veronica lowered her head, her tears welling up. Then she whimpered and started talking about why she lied to me.
“Actually… Wang oppa showed up at the eldest daughter… He was so hot… I’m so sorry…”
“…You must have said that the first time you saw me was when the determinant was opened?”
“Yes.”
From noble mtl dot com
At the time of the procession that took place a year ago, I had to show myself in front of all the people, so I tried my best.
Not only the makeup, but also the clothes were worn more colorfully than the clothes they are wearing now.
Besides, I’m pretty good looking, so after the procession was over, numerous engagement letters piled up in my office.
Among them, there was a letter sent by the Prime Minister of Bloodia.
‘I should wear it properly…’
I pretended to be a determinant and stole the heart of a 3-year-old child who was naive…No, but had a bright future.
“I… I’m sorry…”
“There is nothing to be too sorry for.”
Well, but this was better.
There is no way that a young child has felt real love, so when she gets older, she will surely forget that she liked me on her own.
“After taking a walk for a while, you learn an interesting fact. Chancellor.”
“…I’m sorry. I’ll do my best to educate you.”
“It’s okay. How long can a child’s first love last anyway?”
“That… That’s… Kuhmm…”
“Then let’s go. I’m sorry for interrupting your conversation.”
“No, Your Majesty.”
I didn’t know then.
Vampires have the exact opposite tendencies of succubus…
