Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 44

EP.44 Imperial Social Gathering

Clearly, Cloud thought he was resentful. He’d be looking at her negatively, if not up to resentment.

But what is this?

Why did he bring her to his room?

Why did the dungeon suddenly appear?

No, rather than that, Why are Neria and Ophelia already in his room??

What kind of situation is this?

Fortunately, she didn’t seem to be the only one who didn’t know.

Because Neria and Ophelia had similar expressions to her.

Then the only person who can explain this situation is Cloud.

In fact, the Cloud…

“Thank you Frilite. Thank you for avoiding the hassle.”

“Done. Can’t you do something like this with your friends? Rather, take this.”

“Yes? What is this round machete?”

“It’s a VIP card. A badge that proves that you are a VIP of our family. It won’t hurt to take it with you.”

“You’re a member of the royal family… Wasn’t your family the best family in the empire? Can you just give me a royal plaque from such a family?”

“Do not abuse it. Then it’s fine.”

“Of course, I won’t do anything that will bother you. Thank you, Frillite.”

He was having a conversation with the famous warrior, Frilite, without hesitation.

Seeing the two of them, Eri was quite surprised.

Because of the appearance they showed at the Social Gathering, She guessed that they were a little bit familiar with each other.

By the way, was it close enough to handing you a VIP badge?

Not even another family, but the Ferdiak family’s VIP plaque?

‘…Any royal family can’t move in front of that VIP…’

Giving such things as if you were giving them a normal gift.

What kind of relationship of trust is built up between the two?

“Then I will try to go back soon. Let’s talk.”

“Thank you for your help, Frillite. Let’s have another drink next time.”

“It’s Ale.”

“…Yes, Ale.”

Seeing Cloud with a gloomy expression on his face, Frillite smiled and left the room.

‘What the hell did I see?’

Is Frillite a smiling?

What more?

Are you two drinking?

Eri was dizzy with too much information rushing in at once.

It was then.

“Hey, Cloud..?”

Neria raised her voice.

His gaze, looking at the door Frilite had left, turned to Neria.

“Why are you like this, Neria?”

“Is that… are you close with the Hero Frilite?”

“As you can see?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Eri looked.

Neria’s eyes trembled.

Neria is also concerned.

“How did you become friends with that… Hero Frilite?”

At Neria’s question, Cloud tilted his head.

“Is that an important story?”

“Yes…?”

“Is it important?”

Cloud speaks sharply as if drawing a line.

Not only Neria but also Eri and Ophelia were nervous.

Also… he didn’t completely forgive them.

“Oh… no. It doesn’t matter.”

Neria shook her head excessively.

‘…Now that I see, he has changed a lot.’

Neria said she would never show weakness in front of Cloud, and always acted like a strict and decisive knight.

But now…

‘Well… the most guilty of all of us, perhaps the most desperate one is Neria.’

The decisive behavior as before may not be shown for a while.

Because she might live with his resentment.

Meanwhile, Cloud smiled satisfied with Neria’s answer.

“That’s right. That’s not what’s important now. The important thing is that we’re back together like this! Nice to see you again guys! After all, we were a team of souls! Let’s have fun exploring the dungeon together!”

Cloud raised the atmosphere that had fallen due to a sharp rejection by himself. He began to explain his future journey in a bright voice.

On the way, Ophelia raised her hand saying she had a question, but was turned away.

Cloud didn’t stop explaining, and she had to lower her hand with a red face.

After the explanation, Cloud looked around the three women and said:

“Now, did you all understand? We will leave the imperial capital early tomorrow morning. get a good night’s sleep now The room is not spacious, but it will be enough for three women to sleep. I’ll go downstairs and sleep in the hall.”

Before the three women could answer, Cloud opened the door and went out.

This was before the door was completely closed.

“Right, guys. As I said in advance, I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat this party because it’s so bad! Come and tell me whenever you want. Don’t even think about stabbing myself with a knife from behind. If it happened again, I would feel really… dirty.”

His last words were so cool that it was hard to find a laugh.

Eri, Neria, and Ophelia trembled. They thought that the ‘to’ he said was referring to their work.

When they try to apologize…

“Good night then!”

Cloud closed the door.

-…

Silence fell in the room.

* * *

I was going to leave as soon as the next day dawned.

But I couldn’t do that.

“It’s the first time we’ve seen each other alone. Hero, Cloud.”

Because the imperial emperor’s wife, the empress, called me.

Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy tea time with the Empress in the middle of the filthy large and gorgeous Imperial Palace garden.

“Nice to meet you.”

The Empress, who put down the teacup, smiled gracefully.

As I wander around this world, I hear all kinds of sounds from the taverns.

One of the rumors is that the Empress of the Empire is the most beautiful woman on the continent.

When I first heard the rumor, I thought it was just one of those rumors that was meant to lift the Empire.

‘When I came here, I can see why the rumors were circulating.’

I don’t know if it’s the best on the continent, but first of all, the Empress was a great beauty.

The hair of the blue and silver hair is neatly braided. All the splendid ornaments on her hair and dress were nothing compared to her beautiful beauty.

Even to exude the noble atmosphere of the imperial family.

Perhaps the rumors came about when the coachman or his servants heard and talked about what the nobles were admiring.

But why did such a person call me?

“It is an honor to meet the Empress. May I ask the reason why you called me out of disrespect? I’m a little nervous because there’s nothing to guess.”

The Empress laughed a little.

“Huh, I heard a lot about the Sir Cloud from Frillite. I was puzzled by the difference between what Frilite said and the rumors I knew, but I heard about what happened at the Social Gathering yesterday. Curious, I stopped calling. Was it rude?”

Yes, Awesome.

“no. Who would refuse the Empress’s call? By the way, did Frilite tell the Empress of my story?”

“Yeah. Frillite and I are close friends.”

“…Yes?”

Did Frilite say I was her first friend?

“If it’s not rude, can you tell when you first became acquainted with Frillite?”

“It’s been since 4 years ago, when Frilite was selected as a Hero.”

The empress had a bright expression on her face as if reminiscing about the past.

Four years ago, it was before me and Frillite became friends.

Frilite said I was her first friend, and she’s not a liar.

That is…

‘You are mistaken for a friend by yourself…’

From Frillite’s point of view, it must have felt like she was just talking to her boss. However, the Empress seems to have interpreted it arbitrarily.

‘I heard that the emperor controls his wife’s life because he has gynecomastia, but the rumors were true.’

If not, there’s no way she’d think that we’ve become friends just by saying a few words.

…Poor man.

With a sad heart, I listened to the Empress’s story as hard as I could. Empress’s smile widened even more, whether she was content with the fact that her own story was being heard.

“Oh, right. I didn’t just call Sir Cloud today to just talk. Alfred, can you bring me what we have prepared?”

“Yes, Empress Mama.”

Alfred is absent for a while at the orders of the Empress.

What he brought was an ornate box adorned with gold leaf.

“Open.”

Alfred opened the box.

Inside the box was a light blue jewel necklace.

It was a round, large, sky-blue gem.

“This..?”

“It’s a necklace made of moonstone. It clears the mind of the wearer. It goes without saying that it increases your resistance to mind contamination magic. I want to gift this to Sir Cloud. Do you not like it?”

“Is it possible? Who would refuse a necklace of moonstone?”

An ornament made of moonstone.

Although there are no other effects, it is an item that definitively prevents confusion and runaway abnormalities.

It was an item I needed to get for a colleague who would later get it, and it worked out.

Moonstone is a setting that is very rare compared to its effect, so you can only make one accessory in the game.

I carefully accepted the box Alfred was handed me.

“But why are you giving me such a precious gift?”

“It is not an item of great value to the imperial family, so there is no need to feel burdened. It’s just a personal gift from me because I want to get acquainted with Sir Cloud, who will become a noble Hero in the future.”

“I want to get to know you… for the sake of the Empire?”

The Empress smiled.

“More than that, it’s closer to my husband’s support.”

* * *

After receiving the gift, Cloud spoke a few more words with the Empress and left the Imperial Palace.

There was a woman staring at him leaving behind…

‘How the hell did this happen…?’

It was the key swordsman of the Gith Party and his henchman, Adreana.

The reason she was spying on Cloud was simple.

‘That Pommel. It belongs to our family…’

Pommel, which Cloud has picked up in a strife.

This is because the pattern engraved on the Pommel was a symbol of her family.

‘I was always annoyed by my damn father.’

Her father was a fucking asshole. While traveling, he slept with not only nobles, but also commoners if their face was okay.

Thanks to this, once or twice a year, her half-siblings would come to her hometown.

Of course, he couldn’t take care of so many half-siblings, so she quietly dealt with the people who came.

But this half-brother is different.

‘I think Cloud must have been my younger brother.’

Maybe not.

He hadn’t worn that pommel until before.

However, there is a difference between the Cloud when the pommel is not worn and the Cloud when it weared.

When he was not cold, he was too weak, and now that he is cold, he isstronger than he used to be.

So she thought.

Maybe he started wearing pommels because he was able to protect himself…

‘Didn’t they say the Cloud was an orphan?’

The situation is correct in many ways. Conjecture gradually turned into certainty.

‘As an orphan, he will have a strong attachment to his family.’

What if you dig into it?

Maybe you can put Cloud in your hands and sleep.

And if that’s the case…
