54 – Narundra (1)
***
“Did you sleep well last night?”
“I slept so soundly that I didn’t even know who was carrying me.”
“Cheers, just like me. Traveling is so hard.”
morning.
Maru met the king and queen in the lobby of the accommodation and was talking.
Audrey was also there.
Perhaps she was still sleepy, she was hugging her waist from behind the floor, leaning her head against her, and closing her eyes.
It was something I didn’t do outside when I was in the palace, but I kept doing it because there were so many strangers and elves around me that I had nothing to notice.
“sorry!”
Edward, with a magpie nest on his head, hurriedly ran down the stairs.
My face was swollen because I had just woken up.
“I woke up early, but I was late because I forgot to fall asleep.”
“When are you going to be brave?”
The king clicked his tongue and rebuked him.
The queen looked at the king like that and supported the prince.
“It could be. Let’s go get something to eat.”
We all headed to the restaurant together.
Heads of different races and countries were also staying at the luxurious lodgings where they are currently staying.
No one was favored, everyone was treated equally.
Typically, meals had to be eaten with several people in a large place.
No space was allowed for any specific country.
“Have you seen Miss Aslag?”
On the way to the restaurant, Edward looked around and asked a small question.
Maru shook his head.
“I didn’t see it. You just arrived yesterday.”
“Where is it? Hmm.”
“It won’t be here, so stop looking for it.”
All the people here are kings or hearers of heroes.
I wonder if the mediocre adventurer Aslag is here.
Maru patted his back.
“After the meeting in the morning, let’s look around the city. Will we be able to meet again?”
“Is that so? Thank you. I will definitely go with you.”
The Western Continental Conference is not held for just one day, but various events and agendas are discussed over a total of three days.
As the first event, a speech was scheduled for today at 11:00 AM on the theme of the dreams and hopes of Riku, the warrior of the sword, and Harfeo, the hero of Daral.
“I will guide you this way.”
After being guided by the female elf who served, we sat down at the table, and soon simple dishes were prepared.
There were only healthy foods that were good for all dishes to enjoy casually for breakfast.
“This is a vegetable I’ve never seen before.”
The king tried the vegetable dish and nodded.
“tasty.”
“Father, this mushroom dish is also delicious. It is the delicacy of delicacies.”
Edward munched on the mushroom and gulped it down.
It was really good, so I picked it up and ate it again.
The Queen looked at Edward with delight.
“Eat slowly.”
Audrit clung to the side of the floor and drank only milk.
“It’s morning, so I don’t think about eating… ”
He had a blank look on his face as if the fatigue of the journey had lessened.

While Maru was eating, Lucy and Natalie were eating together at the adventurer’s restaurant.
The expression of the two people was not good in front of the delicious food.
Doongma, who was eating with a gloomy face, was only forcibly putting it in to get energy to move throughout the day.
“Elf cuisine is tasteless.”
Natalie sighed heavily.
She put down the spoon, took out the painting she had been keeping in her arms, and looked at it gently.
3 years ago?
4 years ago?
It was a painting commissioned by a famous artist in the early days of the party.
Inside the faded painting were brightly smiling Maru, Keira, Lucy, Lloris, and himself.
Everyone looks younger and full of energy than now.
Even at this time, I believed that everything would be fine… How did it get to this point?
The party disbanded and Kiera took on the stigma of being a champion on the run.
It was a miserable reality.
“I wasn’t letting Maru out at that time… ”
Would fate have been different if Kiera had stopped her when she decided to let Maru go?
I don’t know, but things would have been better than now.
Right now, I was really suffering because I felt sorry for Maru.
“See what?”
When Lucy, who had been eating silently until then, asked, Natalie smiled shyly as she showed the picture.
“this.”
“Do you still have that painting? I forgot where I put it.”
“Looking at you, when do you think Maru will open his heart? Lucy. do you have a good head Can’t you guess?”
Lucy let out a small sigh.
“Maybe I hated us even more. I once apologized to Maru, but I found out that the succubus he was with ordered me to apologize, so it was like hitting the back of my head. So I was very angry at that time. It seems that he is still angry.”
“Why did you do that?”
“I am also reflecting. And I realized something. Maru The more you know him, the better he is. I’m starting to fall in love with you.”
Natalie laughs.
“Actually, I also liked Maru.”
“when?”
“When it was our party. Every time I worked, I was attracted to his arm tendons that I could see at a glance. But I had to suppress my heart because I dated Kiera. I kept bullying him to get him off. Like a total bad bitch.”
“There have been times when I’ve been drinking and attacked.”
“I couldn’t control my feelings that day.”
“Don’t beautify.”
“I know me too. did it wrong.”
Natalie’s face contorted.
You could see his contempt, self-blame, and regret in his expression.
It would be natural for Maru to trample on himself and spit on him.
Because he did a lot worse than that.
“Let’s go out when we’re all done. Suddenly, I want to see Maru.”
“Maru, eat now. You can stay a little longer.”
“Oh yeah. Weren’t you the maid of Maru?”
“maid?”
Lucy snorts.
“It’s not like that.”
“Then what is it?”
she replied proudly.
“Because you are a slave.”
“If you’re going to be called, isn’t it better to be a maid than a slave… ?”
“After spending time with the succubus, slave sounds better. Excited too.”
Lucy suddenly sucked her finger.
“Natalie, can I tell you something interesting? I can make love with women now.”
Natalie frowned.
“I like men, bitch. just stick to it Because I’m going to throw a punch.”
***
Narundra.
Elven city-state.
In the middle of the vast city, where more than 70% of the total area is made up of trees, there was a giant tree that grew high into the sky.
The elves dug out the inside, drilled a hole, and used it as a 50-story high-rise.
The name of the building is Yugurdia, which means mother’s milk.
It was the place where the Western Continent Conference was held.
“Like! Oh my brother!”
Building 47th floor.
The hero Riku and the hero Harfeo were meeting and greeting each other.
“How have you been?”
“so so. you?”
“I’m always having fun with my colleagues!”
Harfeo was a man full of life.
He pointed to his comrades behind him with a hand clad in a fancy robe.
“You know my colleagues, you’ve seen them before, right?”
It was a party made up of male warriors, female knights, male archers, male priests, and female priests.
Riku approached and greeted them.
“But what about Sabrina? Oh, do you want to stay at the inn?”
Riku calmly answered Harfeo’s question as he looked around.
“I came to Narundra alone.”
“why? What about Sabrina?”
“I couldn’t come because I was sick.”
“Aha, that’s right. Please tell me that you are getting better.”
“yes. thank you.”
Harfeo pulled out a speech from his sleeve.
“Have you finished writing your speech? Until last night, I thought I was dying because I was retiring.”
“uh. I wrote everything.”
Riku laughed evilly inwardly.
‘What are you doing with that? They’ll all die before they even read it.’
same time.
A spacious circular conference room where heads of state from the Western Continent are seated.
The speeches of the two warriors were scheduled to begin in 30 minutes.
It was noisy as the heads of various races and their related people came and sat in a total of 3,000 seats in advance.
“Is the mushroom I ate for breakfast wrong? cadet… My stomach… ”
Edward’s complexion was not good as he stroked his stomach.
“That’s why I told you to eat a little.”
Audrey looked at her pathetically.
“Go to the bathroom quickly.”
“Yeah, that should be it.”
Edward held Maru’s hand with a nervous face.
“I don’t know where the bathroom is, so would you like to go with me? Boo, please.”
“me too?”
“Why are you taking my husband?”
“Audrey, I’m a real boat, a boat… ! Ugh! me out! Trying to come out… ! Gee, I can’t lose… ! If you fight here, you will be humiliated for the rest of your life… ! Tea, you have to be patient… !”
“Oh, it’s dirty.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Maru woke up after kissing Audrit on the cheek lightly.
His complexion turned blue and he hurriedly left the conference room, supporting Edward, who was twisting around.
After 15 minutes, when there was no sign of returning, the queen worried and said to Audrit.
“The meeting will start in a little while. Hurry up and see what I’m doing.”
“I see.”
Audrit, who was worried about Maru, immediately got up and went outside.
After 10 minutes had passed since she left, Maru returned alone.
“majesty. mama. The prince is not feeling well, so I have to let him rest at his inn.”
“Are you serious?”
When the queen asked with a worried face, Maru shook her head.
“Looks like I just had an upset stomach. Me and Audrey will take you to the lodging and come back.”
“Heh heh, that guy.”
The king let out a sigh.
“Even after coming here, you act like an immature person.”
“It hurts.”
The queen stinged and grabbed the king by the wrist.
When I tried to drag it out, the king tilted his head, not wanting to stand up.
“Where are you going?”
“Your child is sick, but you shouldn’t go and see how he is.”
“The meeting will start in a little while. Less than five minutes left.”
“My next-generation son is sick. Is the meeting important right now?”
“Heh heh.”
The king reluctantly got up and left the meeting room with Maru and the queen.
Shortly after the three of them left, Riku and Harfeo entered the conference hall.
All the doors were left open and the meeting began.
‘It’s finally time.’
Riku stood on the podium in the center and looked around the roundabout.
‘When the bloody wind blows.’
When the Demon King waiting outside the building blocked all entrances to the conference hall, Riku planned to draw his sword and massacre the leaders at random.
At the same time, the Goddess of Sword, who is mentally controlled from the sky, bombards the ground.
Hundreds of demon dens are open everywhere on the ground.
After a while, Narundra will be literally hell.
Stockholm syndrome but in a lesbian way
Her s*xual orientation getting bullied by a Succubus every night… would likely do that?
Luciella would 100% end Lucy if she slept with anyone except Maru.
So Lucy got rped till she became bi (Stockholm syndrome?) and and was likely not forced to sleep with anyone else despite the implication which is understandable. That’s one way to gloss over that situation.
