Episode 34. Hell (4)
Chapter 34. Narak (4)
It was a night when I thought I would never be able to sleep, but I must have fallen into a daze in the end. The smell of food that irritated her stomach stimulated her sense of smell and awakened her drowsy mind.
Mmm. This smell. It tastes good.
“Did you wake up?”
I hear the voice of a kind woman. You don’t even have to check who it is. Who doesn’t know That she was Princess Elina.
“… Majesty.”
While I am raising my body from lying down, Elina looks at me with a happy smile. She was already wearing several layers of her sheer dress, and her hair was neatly set.
That means it’s already past lunchtime. And. It turned So how long will I sleep?
“I prepared foods with as much protein as possible. He, didn’t you use a lot of energy yesterday?”
“… That, thank you.”
Elina’s eyes gently fold. She seemed very happy to see her shy yet softly smiling face.
I put on a gown and sat down on a chair. It definitely had a lot of meat. It’s been a few days, and I feel like I’ve gotten used to this life now.
Yes. Let’s accept
My original self, different from now. Will there ever be a day in my life where I can share love with these beauties? No matter whose will it is. If I told others, everyone would say that I was blessed.
Let’s think positively.
I held up the spoon at the ready. When you see delicious food along with the rising smoke, you automatically salivate.
They say the best meal is lunch after bedtime.
Um. Soup tastes good. A feeling of warmth in the stomach. Still, the skill of the imperial chef is astounding.
“You.”
Just when I was about to choose another side dish, Elina called me. As she turned her head to look at her while still holding the spoon, her bloody mouth raised.
“You are still clumsy with table manners.”
“… Is that so.”
“I think it’s because I spent a lot of time outside the imperial family.”
Ah. Whatever. I don’t know. Is it okay to eat well in any way? But soon, her proposal was rather shocking.
“So let me teach you.”
“… Yes?”

No. You don’t have to.
Elina rolled up the sleeves of her dress and gracefully cut her piece of meat. For some reason, she ends up watching it blankly.
“Come on. Come on, open her mouth.”
“No, Your Highness, I will eat it. It’s okay. Really. I will only take your heart.”
To be honest, it’s burdensome. In common sense, does it make sense to receive such care from the next emperor? What if someone sees it
“Are you defying my orders now?!”
She couldn’t help but open her mouth at those words. The piece of meat that came into her mouth was so tender and delicious that it melted in her mouth.
“Your Highness, I will eat now.”
“You.”
“Yes. Please speak.”

Now, just hearing the word ‘you’ makes my heart flutter. Leaning her head slightly to the side, Elina seemed to be worried about something in her.
“How is this life for you? Are you satisfied?”
“… What is that?”
What is this all of a sudden? Uncharacteristically, however, Elina shook her hands as she uttered her gibberish.
“So. That is.”
“Your Highness, speak slowly.”
“Dude, do you really want to go back to the original world?”
The two eyes of Elina who asked that were very clear. She doesn’t answer right away, so she adds her words with persuasion.
“Safe living space and delicious meals are basic. Watches and suits that men like can also be given to you. I promise to lead a better life than your world.”
“… I’m sorry, Your Highness, but that’s impossible.”
I lowered my voice and spoke firmly.
“I will go back. When you fill in the remaining days, you must let me go.”
If you are the main character in a novel or cartoon, you might be left with a cry of ‘Honey’. But isn’t that the position of people who have nothing to lose?
I already left a lot of things there.
My family who loves me.
Friends who meet occasionally and share a drink.
Games and novels I enjoy.
The trips to go on vacation by saving money step by step.
And freedom.
I would rather ask.
Is it really possible for you to throw away all those things and settle down in an unfamiliar world?
Isn’t it a society where it is difficult for even ordinary men to live alone?
It is very inconvenient for modern people who cannot live without electronic devices such as smart phones. Besides, what Elina wants is just a night party.
In the end, nothing will be given to me. It won’t be forever
I came to this world and my existence has changed a lot. I don’t even know if it’s already been stained too much. Would it be different if I had a special ability like Yoo In-na?
If at least I could use magic. I don’t know if you’ve been thinking about it for a little while since it’s a fantasy world.
All I can do here is sell my ‘youth’. And someday, when it becomes unsightly, it will be thrown away. It was a case that I had seen many times in ‘Grace’.
“So. Your Highness, please promise me one more time.”
“… ….”
“Your Highness. Come on.”
The day after tomorrow, Elina will ascend the throne as the emperor of the Aritina Empire. Also, of course, a man with a high status would accept the state letter. I have no intention of living in anyone’s shadow.
“I promise.”
With the tightly closed lips, the bright expression from before was nowhere to be seen. However, her words were not false, so I also bowed my head in gratitude.
⁕⁕⁕
“Meet the sun of the Aritina Empire.”
“Is there a need to go that far between us? Sienna, please wake up.”
As I put one knee back, my light brown hair swayed finely. Wearing the imperial mage uniform, Sienna opened her mouth with a look full of anticipation.
“Your Highness, the coronation ceremony is just around the corner. I’m really looking forward to it too. At las. That day has to come!”
“… Okay. You had to come after all.”
Elina’s expression was very dark even though she was only a few days away from officially becoming emperor. Seeing her face, Sienna added her words with her encouragement.
“As expected. Are you worried? The future of the Empire rests on her Highness’ shoulders.”
“… Yes. So I hope you can help Jim well.”
“Of course. From now on, my allegiance will be to Your Highness and the Empire.”
Seeing Siena’s chivalrous appearance, Elina also forced a smile. Even during the warrior party, she was always a talented person who cared for and interceded with the party members with a bright smile.
Despite being the illegitimate daughter of the duchy, Sienna’s unpretentious behavior must be the pride of the duchy of Ortini. Of course they didn’t seem to know.
“Sienna, are those thoughts still the same? She could even get her successor if she wanted to.”
Elina also did not forget her promise to Sienna. She made a firm determination to create her own family by setting up a ball with a warrior party.
“Of course.”
“I plan to give the hero a position higher than the count. Maybe even a duke.”
“… She suffered the most. I am okay. Didn’t we kidnap someone who actually lived a normal life?”
Sienna’s face was clear and bright as she spoke casually. However, Elina’s expression darkened rapidly at her word ‘kidnapped’.
“… Kidnapping.”
“Sum. Sorry. I guess I was too comfortable. Your mouth is straight.”
“It has been done. Anyway, I haven’t forgotten her promise either, so don’t worry about that.”
“Thank you. Majesty.”
After the conversation was over, Sienna finished her greeting and stood up from her seat. As if she had a sudden thought, her Elina grabbed her.
“Sienna, is she dating any men?”
“Yes? Yes?! No. No way. Your Highness, could you introduce me?”
The pupils of Sienna’s stiff body suddenly became bright. She was the typical reaction of a woman who had never been in a real relationship.
“That, what do you think of Karsen? I wish I could be honest with you.”
“… Ah. Your Highness, are you honest?”
“Of course. Aren’t we colleagues? I’m just asking out of curiosity, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Ah. Her Highness Karsen is very popular in the social world. I am a bit embarrassed.”
Elina sighed at her apparent refusal. Although she is definitely a younger brother who is popular with her young ladies.
Rather than sending it to foxy women, she wanted to send it to someone she could trust. Even though she has a naughty personality, her pedigree and face are perfect.
As an older sister, she can’t help but worry. Even if she is selfish. Still, they’re siblings.
“Ha ha. Right. Thanks for letting me know.”
“Yes. Then I will withdraw.”
As Elina waved her hand, Siena ran away from her seat. Feeling her head throb, she placed her hand on her forehead.

Carsen came to visit shortly after taking care of her business in her study. Elina, who had brought him right into her waiting room, stared blankly at him.
In contrast to Elina’s dignified and calm outfit, his clothes were made of luxurious materials and were very fancy. Of course, it was not a waste for his one and only brother, but the problem was that it was getting worse day by day.
It is not difficult to relieve stress with luxury.
“I came to have lunch with you. You weren’t there, so I waited for a long time. Sister.”
“… You’ve been busy dealing with overdue state affairs. Did you wait long?”
Karsen, who had a slightly sullen expression, soon opened his mouth calmly. Unlike the momentary matured appearance, he has become a childish mode again.
“Chi. Well, that’s okay Didn’t the hero say anything more than that?”
How come these days, it seems that this problem has come to me without even trying. Elina groped her chin and sighed.
“It must be difficult.”
At those words, Karsen’s expression hardened. After clearing her mind, Elina slowly opened her mouth.
“The cost of subjugating the demon lord is not less than that. So, the Imperial Palace’s budget needs to be reduced a bit….”
“No. Sister, I should have everything I want. Am I the prince of an empire? Why don’t you save some money for that?”
Elina’s eyebrows twitched in amazement at those words. With a keen gaze she looks at a blood relative similar to herself. As if she realized herself, Karsen also shuts her mouth tightly.
“Carsene, what are you saying now….”
“More than that. Sister, what is a characteristic? It goes unconditionally. Am I misinformed?”
Carsene tilted her head. Elina’s mind was mixed at the thought that she had been so rude until now.
“I’m going to marry her former warrior. That’s right. The prince will marry the hero and live happily ever after. I want to try that.”
“Would that be your will? You can’t force your heart on people.”
Then Karsen’s voice gradually rises. If anyone sees her, they will say that her appearance is quite poisonous.
“Then say you’ll give me the position of the duke, no, the grand duke.”
“How are the other young ladies? If you don’t like that, a good talent at the warrior party….”
“That’s a party member. You are not a warrior. No, I do not want. I hate it!”
I thought she had matured. As she acts childishly and irritably uses a group, she can only sigh.
“Ha ha. The hero said that he might return to his original world.”
“No. No way Obviously last time….”
“People’s minds are easily changed.”
To be honest, I don’t understand Elina at all. Why would he, the most precious bridegroom in her empire, risk his life for just one woman?
“Carsene, why are you so obsessed with the hero in the first place?”
“Then why not? If you’re just going to nag me like that, I’ll go. Do better than that. Don’t you feel sorry for Derek?!”
Beep – Karsen ran out with a scream. Elina, who was putting on her troubled expression, tapped her chest in frustration.
