Episode 5. I am not a hero.(5)
Episode 5. I am not a warrior.(5)
Late night. Outside the window, the moonlight falls on Elina’s blond hair. Seeing her letter in her hand, she sighed.
“… You are tired.”
Her own fiancée and the golden jade of the Ortini duchy. Derek and I got engaged quickly after meeting at the last party. In fact, she is like an arranged marriage that was arranged from birth.
It’s just a marriage concluded according to each other’s needs. It was a very natural rite of passage for ordinary nobles.
To be honest, she said her fiancé, Derek, was just that. She has a decent appearance and a competent family, but that’s just it.
Of course, you may be able to live a married life while being satisfied with each other. Even if the government exists, pretending not to know. That is, as long as he endures going up and down to the sidewalks of the social world.
“Ha, I don’t understand.”
In her head, in her chest, a black-haired stranger took his place. He couldn’t even understand himself. Why?
Elina Arita, she is the next emperor to lead the ‘Aritina Empire’. She has managed her emotions so thoroughly that it made no sense for her to be swayed by her only man.
“… Okay.”
I was just curious because he was a man from another world. Elina hurriedly shook her head and corrected her thoughts.
“Your Highness, do you really intend to leave? If so, I’ll join you too. Please accept it.”
The captain of the knights in her armor cut her knee beside Elina. Her Elina looked at her indifferently and answered.
“You don’t have to. She has already negotiated with her mother. If I go with you to the warrior party, I will be able to clear my mind.”
If you stay here longer, if you really have a heart for it. Losing her temper, she doesn’t know what she’s going to do.
She even doubted that it might be the ability of ‘that man’. But in the first place, he had no characteristics.
What will happen to him if he is not reaped from the imperial family? If a stranger without any characteristics steps out of the imperial palace, he will face a cruel reality.
Generally, men with a small number are protected by the state and villagers. However, the phenomenon of kidnapping human men such as goblins and orcs was getting worse.
It was too harsh for a man to leave the capital.
“I will quickly subdue the demon king and send him back to his original world. Since he is invisible, it will be easy to forget.”
Only then will you return to your original self. My body and mind couldn’t be shaken by mere men.
“Your Highness, I am telling you just in case, but it is not that there is no way.”
I can feel the worried gaze of the knight commander. But Elina replied, rubbing her sleepy eyes with her hand.
“Don’t say that it should be the government. And while I’m away….”
“Don’t worry about that. Aren’t you worried about the prince?”
“Yes. Take good care of him so that he doesn’t do anything strange.”
Elina, relieved at last, smiled lightly. Seeing her expression, the leader of the knights nodded her head resolutely and stepped down.
She was worried that Karsen might touch him in his absence. Of course, she is somewhat relieved if she is taken care of by a subordinate she trusts.
“Shall we make it a real government?”
I muttered in a very low voice that the people around me couldn’t hear. Elina was startled by her words that jumped out of her involuntarily.
If she didn’t subdue the Demon King and forcibly made him her mistress, it was the way she could be the happiest while forming a relationship with the Duke of Ortini.
But she couldn’t do everything on her own. The reality was complicated and the stranger man had a free color.
Of course, the government is also morally wrong. How many queens in the world were ridiculed from generation to generation because of men.
She didn’t want to be like that. As she summons warriors to subdue the demon king, she will remain the most praised emperor in the empire.
“It’s finally tomorrow.”
Elina looked into a large full-length mirror. She smiled slightly and her beautiful blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders.
⁕⁕⁕
I woke up early in the morning automatically. It’s finally that day
The day the ‘Hero Party’ goes on an adventure to subdue the demon king.
I woke up again after closing my eyes tightly in the soft blanket. She stretched out with both hands and got out of bed.
While I hoped today would come sooner, I also wanted it to come later. Her honest feelings were closer to the latter.
“Seonghyeon-nim, ah. Did you wake up Shall we prepare right away?”
“… Huh. Let’s hurry.”
Youth, who woke up earlier than me, gave instructions to the servants. They brought a change of clothes along with washing water.
To be honest, I am nervous. But the person who trembles more than me is probably Yoo In-na.
I’m sure they’re all getting ready, right? I will also attend the exhibition as a guest of the imperial family.
“When does it start?”
“We’re going to start in the next three or three hours. We need to hurry up and get ready.”

No that much left? When I opened my eyes in surprise and looked at Youth, he smiled strangely. It was kind of creepy.
“Don’t worry. Seonghyeon-nim, I will decorate you more beautifully than nobles with noble status in the empire.”
Youth’s eyes twinkled like stars. Not even a word was hesitant or wrong. It is a completely water fish.
“… I hate fancy clothes. Be as neat and tidy as possible.”
“Nothing. Seonghyun.”
It was a combative morning. Starting with skin care, I put on and took off several sets of clothes. Youth instructed the makeup to look very excited, as if looking like a game character.
“Hey, put on some makeup.”
“Seonghyun-nim, I’m sorry to say this. Along with the hero, Her Highness the Crown Princess is also leaving the imperial palace. Well, if that happens, Seonghyeon-nim’s position will be very difficult.”
“No. Even so….”
Anyway, I will live as if I were not in the imperial palace. That is until they come back. Please touch me
Youth, seeing my indifferent expression, looked around. Then he whispered cautiously, as if he were concerned about his brother.
“You can’t trust anyone here. I don’t know what kind of place Sunghyun was. But this time, please trust me.”
It was such a serious expression that I could only nod my head. For some reason, it reminded me of the ‘Concubine Concubine Fight’ that I had seen in historical dramas before. Youth, with a relieved face, added his words.
“For men, beauty is their weapon. Mi-mi-nam just smiles and fixes her makeup.”
“Youth, that is not real power.”

Now, I thought that would be the case with the concept of s*x and gender awareness in this unique world. Just thinking about it the other way around.
However, there was something wrong with his advice in my opinion. A young body and face are not forever.
Is it possible for me to do something using my body in the first place? No matter how much the world has changed, how can you decorate your body and fawn on someone? Ugh i can’t
“Seonghyeon-nim is not a gorgeous handsome enough to be recorded in history. Ha, but I watched a lot of women passing by giving Seonghyeon their eyes. In order to survive in the imperial family, this event is very, very important. Until the two of you return….”
“I see what you mean. But let’s stop here.”
The brushstrokes that were approaching me stopped. I got up from my chair and looked in the mirror.
“Oh my God.”
Even though I only tidied up my skin and eyebrows, my impression has changed considerably. It’s not like I’m making a fuss just because it’s my face.
“Wow. This wow Is it true?”
If you take a picture like this, you will definitely be able to get a life shot. It was a bar that desperately felt that men also needed management.
⁕⁕⁕
“Wow!! You are a warrior His Highness is also by your side!!”
“You truly are a hero! How. Look at that dignified and handsome figure.”
I see a crowded and hectic street. A party of warriors was shining their faces on top of the carriage in the splendid procession. It’s nice to see Yoo In-na’s expression bright.
I sat with them inside the Great Hall, where the imperial family and nobles are now seated. Of course, it’s a corner compared to them, but I was able to see them in the ‘video sphere’ enough.
By marching, they make their faces known to the people. Now you can’t take it off or take it off. Thanks to that, they will gain fame and wealth in the future.
“Come to think of it, elves really exist.”
An elf caught my eye at the warrior’s party. It was really amazing because the shape of the ears was different from that of humans.
“I never thought that a guy with no ability would attend such an important event.”
I heard Karsen’s voice from the chair on the podium. Even if it wasn’t him, it was clear that he was a high-ranking person because he sat in the order of rank.
“Your Highness the Prince, as you said, today is an important day. Look at that warrior over there and Her Highness the Crown Princess. Aren’t you really proud? It’s really reassuring. hahahaha”
Immediately, the voices of the aristocrats were heard to please him. The old emperor, who sits at the highest position, just has a gentle smile on his face.
“Why the hell is Her Highness going to subdue the Crown Princess? Do you know why?”
“I don’t know about that either. How would you know that intention? However, since His Majesty the Emperor is already senile, coaxing the prince is to lie down and eat rice cakes.”
I heard the whispers of the nobles around me. It seems that covet power is the same in any world.
“It is not difficult to roast a young man.”
“Anyway, who is that man? It’s the first time I’ve seen it. It’s pretty eye-catching.”
I had a terrible dream. Surely I am not the man those aristocratic women speak of.
Oh quickly. I just hope this event ends soon. After looking at the drink on the table, I looked at Youth waiting behind me.

Now that we even marched, it will be over soon. If that’s the case, it’s time to return to the shelter quietly. After that, I will never come out of the dorm.
“Ah. Remembered It’s him. The stranger who came with that hero!! I didn’t know it then, but seeing it now, the image is quite different.”
“There is no such characteristic… ? Still, seeing how they’re decorated, you’d really believe that it’s an aristocratic style, right?”
That’s right. Her face turned hot. My throat burned a lot because I was embarrassed.
“Stop!!”
Carsen’s nervous voice echoed throughout the hall. All the nobles looked at him from the podium in amazement. It was rather me who noticed when the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Just by looking at it, that bastard hates me.
The prince next to the weak old emperor, he is probably the real power of the empire until the warrior party returns.
“Weird chatter is forbidden on pious days. Everyone seriously cheer for the warrior party.”
After a moment of silence, the voices of the nobles answered from around him. His cold gaze was directed at me as if it were natural.
“You are right. Prince Highness. How about your Highness add a word too?”
At the nobleman’s suggestion, Karsen’s eyebrows went up slightly. He nodded his head as if he liked it and raised his voice.
“The hero and sister summoned from the other world will surely subdue the demon lord. Failure will not exist. Because of that, the empire will surely be eternal!”
When he finished his words, the sound of applause stuck in my ears. I also bumped my palms together.
“Your Highness the Prince has grown very well, just like Her Highness the Crown Princess. His Majesty the Emperor is very virtuous. May there be eternal glory in the Aritina Empire.”
Karsen’s mouth twitched. Then the old emperor around him took up his staff and rose from his chair.
Seeing her like that, her ladies-in-waiting quickly assisted her. Karsen looked at the old emperor with a puzzled expression.
“Man from the other world, you too came here with the hero. Would you like to say a word of encouragement? Please add blessings to the warrior party.”
Then everyone’s eyes turned to me, who was located below. I couldn’t ignore the emperor’s words, so I stood up too.
This kind of attention is a specification. As a person who doesn’t step out, I felt burdened by this kind of attention.
“The hero has put in countless efforts since he came to this world. Of course, there are effects of attributes, but he has undergone considerable training. From her point of view, it would be good if she subdued the demon lord and I could go home.”
I let out the breath I was holding back. And he spoke again.
“Right now, I just want the warrior party to come back safely without being seriously injured or killed. Regardless of the success of the subjugation, the warrior party and the empire will be honorable until the end.”

No applause was heard. In the awkward silence, only Karsen’s fierce gaze could be felt.
