38 – Youngji
Natalie grabbed the raw meat and gulped it down.
He shoved it down his throat without mercy, as if the meat was Kiera.
I was so resentful that I felt like I was going to burst into tears again, but I gritted my teeth and endured it this time.
Fuck year.
Fuck year.
How well did I listen to you?
Natalie’s head was full of these words.
Natalie felt like Keira’s boss.
Whatever Keira said, it was Natalie’s job to convey what she meant to her colleagues.
The good things were said by Keira herself, the bad things, the bad things, and the uneasy instructions were given to Natalie.
It was the same when the battle broke out.
Kiera sometimes did it insincerely when fighting.
Whether it was menstruation or being offended by a client, thinking about a flower garden for an evening banquet, or an ally dying, he swung his sword roughly, thinking only of his own feelings.
Whenever that happened, Natalie understood her and swung her two-handed sword twice as hard as usual.
If Kiera wants to do this, do this, and if she wants to do that, do that, and I listened really well without muttering a word.
But what comes back in the end is betrayal.
“Indignant! decomposition!”
I was grinding my teeth for a while and couldn’t sleep.
When the day dawned, I shook my butt and got up from my seat.
Then we moved on to our next destination.
Because of the sense of loss that comes after being abandoned, I wanted to take a break from work for about two years by clearing my mind and drinking alcohol, but it was still too early to stop.
Hope remained.
Floor.
Yes, Maru.
“Maru will accept me. Because he is a warm man. And he’s the first guy who slapped me on the cheek.”
When he was slapped on the cheek, I could feel with my whole body that he had grown stronger.
It’s just fine if you have that much power.
Go to Maru and propose to form a party.
Let’s go catch the devil with him.
“I’ll do better than that bitch Keira!”
Natalie set foot in the territory of Basilite Kingdom with high expectations.

In the morning, there was a meeting with the ministers.
The current royal family was in a turmoil every day as they searched for the crown prince who was somewhere in the kingdom.
“As long as it doesn’t fly, there will definitely be traces left somewhere.”
“Why do you go around quietly without revealing your presence?”
“The situation is tense, but I don’t know why Your Highness is so relaxed. The Minister of Finance wants to go and talk to you.”
“Starting today, thorough inspections will be conducted in all cities in the kingdom, so I think we will see each other soon.”
“Hey there Sir Maru! What are you thinking, why do you keep quiet? If you have any good opinions, let me know.”
After thinking carefully for a while, Maru opened his mouth.
“You seem to want to enjoy a quiet trip, but let’s just leave it alone. Will it show up on its own when the time comes?”
“That, that. Young people only know romance, but they don’t know the seriousness of the situation. What would we do if we had an accident in our kingdom? Who will be responsible for that?”
After the meeting, Maru washed his face with cold water and headed to the office.
“That, that. Young people only know romance, but they don’t know the seriousness of the situation… ”
As he walked down the aisle, he muttered over and over again what he had heard at the meeting.
“… Who will be responsible for that?”
“Floor!”
Suddenly, I heard Audrey’s voice.
I turned around and saw her standing there with a big smile on her face.
Sesame seeds were pouring from her eyes.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m in the office. What about the princess?”
“I was going to the loading dock when I saw you, so I ran.”
She jumped into his arms out of nowhere.
He let out a pleasant moan while rubbing his face on Maru’s chest.
“Huh, okay… ”
“Go, princess. It would be embarrassing to do this here.”
“Forgot? You decided to call me Audrey.”
“People are watching, Audrey.”
“No one is passing by. I’ll stay like this for a little while.”
Maru didn’t say anything anymore because he liked being with her.
He gently hugged her and patted her back.
“Come to my room again tonight.”
“Sure. Oh, but it’s hard to wait. Did you miss me at dawn?”
“I missed you. I couldn’t sleep.”
“I will quickly tell Your Highness about our relationship. That way we can be together at night.”
“Let’s see an opportunity soon and tell His Highness.”
“Can’t we do it today?”
“Today? Today is… ”
Suddenly, the voices of the king and his servants were heard at a bend in the corridor.
“Jim has something in mind about the prince, so let him know.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
As the king turned the corner, it was a moment when Maru and Audrit could be seen half attached.
Audrit fell and hit Maru’s cheek.
slap!
A sharp slap echoed through the hallway.
The king and his servants stood tall with surprised eyes wondering what this was all about.
“You said no!”
“Yes… ?”
“Then check it out again!”
“What… ?”
Maru was dumbfounded because he was hit without any discussion.
Audrey was acting wildly.
“I really can’t work! Hurry up and find out and contact me!”
The princess hurriedly left, pretending to stare.
Maru touched her cheek and looked blankly at her back.
I understand the situation, but something was absurd.
“Alas.”
Isn’t it too over-the-top to slap when it’s okay to make excuses in moderation?
The king chuckled.
“Did my princess make you work?”
Maru lowered his head with a shy expression.
“… Yes. You made it.”
“I’m not a kid who usually gets angry, but it’s strange. Please understand.”
“I am only sorry that I disappointed the princess.”
“No, no. You are a guest, but that child was serious. Either way, everything went well. Tried to call me anyway There are times when we go together, so please change into street clothes and come out in an hour.”
“Yes, Your Highness. I will prepare before it is too late.”
After the king left, Maru tilted his head.
“Where are you going?”
I was walking down the hallway, deep in thought, when Audrey popped out of nowhere.
“Are you very sick?”
She touched Maru’s cheek with a very worried face.
Maru showed a sad look.
“The pain aside, being hit is shocking.”
“Sorry. I was so flustered that my hand went out without even realizing it. I am reflecting.”
“Do you think just reflecting on words will relieve your anger?”
“Then how do I solve it?”
“Ho, please blow.”
“like?”
Maru pointed at his cheek with his index finger.
“Here, here. Please blow over here.”
“Then will you forgive me?”
“Look. Do it quickly.”
Audrit brought her lips close to Maru’s cheek and blew her breath.
There was a fragrant floral scent.
“That’s Okay?”
“Keep going until you say yes.”
“I see. ho~”
Blowing it over and over again made me strangely excited.
His eyes went to her hips in the dress.
The body is ahead of the head.
‘Cause now it’s alright
He quickly hugged her waist and squeezed one side of her hip with her hand.
Enjoying the feel of her bouncy buttocks and rubbing it, she burst into laughter as she came into his bosom.
“transformation. Do you want to go to jail?”
“Put your lips out.”
“why? kiss me?”
“I will avenge it with a kiss.”
“I heard someone saw it.”
“Look.”
“I can’t.”
She flinched in embarrassment, then closed her eyes and pursed her lips.
Maru closed his lips without delay.
***
The land outside the royal road, which arrived in the king’s carriage, was wide open with vineyards.
There was also a small village far away.
A reservoir was also visible around it, and a mill with a water wheel was also visible.
“This is the land promised earlier. You will sleep from today.”
The king, who was standing outside the carriage, handed over the land documents and looked at the distant landscape with his hands behind his back.
He had a pleasant expression on his face as the wind blew softly.
“I heard that the number of people calling Edward a foolish prince has decreased a lot. Your credit is great.”
Maru put the land document in his bosom, then put his hands together and looked around the scene in front of him.
That’s all my land
As soon as we started building one house, a proud expression was built.
“I still feel that there is not enough to improve the prince’s image. From now on, I will subdue more great things.”
“Then the prince dies.”
“I will be careful not to injure the prince.”
The king chuckled and shook his head.
“You don’t have to do that anymore. Don’t worry about the prince anymore.”
“Are you satisfied with this?”
Instead of answering, the king took a deep breath of fresh air.
A refreshing smile spread across his lips.
“Five years ago, a competent minister named Sir John Malek passed away. I was 72 years old. He was the only person in our kingdom who had the experience of going to the Raiskan Daria Empire as an envoy.”
The king slowly looked back at the floor.
“The Empire, there have been only two times in history that we have contacted our kingdom first. The first was when the Queen of Alexandria had a son 10 years ago, and the second, as you saw, was when the Queen personally sent a letter announcing the prince’s visit.”
“okay.”
Maru smacked his lips without even realizing it.
It felt like my mouth was dry.
“Sir John Malek went to the Empire on behalf of Jim to congratulate the Queen on the birth of a son. He returned home a year later and said this.”
It was not a real child, but a foster son who appeared to be in his early teens. But the race looked different from us. I could see it clearly with my own two eyes. hair is black,
The king pointed to Maru’s hair with a wrinkled hand.
Unlike us, the eyes with dark brown pupils did not have double eyelids,
He pointed at Maru’s eyes as if he were killing a confirmation.
The skin was pale yellow, like a mixture of white and red.
Finally, he pointed at Maru’s neck and smiled incomprehensibly.
“Is there such a strange coincidence? It sounds like you’re talking Not only do they look good, they even look similar in age.”
“Do you think I am the crown prince?”
Maru swallowed a gulp.
The king inhaled and exhaled the fresh air again and looked at the scenery.
“It wouldn’t be if you said no. Isn’t it different from the name? I heard that the prince’s name is called Alexandro, similar to the queen’s name. I don’t know why it’s similar to my mother’s name and not my father’s. Is the naming law of the empire different from ours?”
“Only your mother is special.”
Maru confidently looked at the king.
“My mother has lived a heroic life that everyone looks up to. He said that if he names his son similar to himself, he will surely inherit good energy. I almost became Alexia II.”
Right after I finished speaking, the wind blew.
The king’s beard fluttered.
The king was surprised with his mouth open.
“Yeah, also… ! You must have been the crown prince!”
What? Why Natalie and Kiera parted ways?
