731 – 8.5 Manatee (3)
The change in Princess Iris’ expression was dramatic.
At first she was devastated, then her brow furrowed, and then her face turned red with shame.
In just a moment, her woman’s face became colorful. Regardless, I just stood there without any emotion.
Princess Iris seemed unable to bear that fact.
“Friday, Friday… what?”
The emotions that went too far paralyzed the woman’s spinal cord. The woman’s anger had reached such a peak that even her stuttering voice seemed strained.
It was worth it.
She almost lost her life in an unexpected attack. Her close associates were left helpless, and her self-esteem was severely damaged.
It wasn’t even long before she came to her senses.
It would be closer to normal if the brain does not work properly. Because a prolonged coma affects the entire body.
Furthermore, the princess’s mistake was more fatal than anything else.
It was ‘absence of information’.
“I told you no, Your Highness Iris.”
“Do you think I’m asking because I don’t know?”
With her body trembling, she took one step.
And two steps.
The gait of the woman walking towards me was unstable. Her muscles would have deteriorated over the years, so she would need sufficient rest and rehabilitation to be able to move as before.
It must have been so hard that you would break into a cold sweat.
Still, to the point where she started walking, I thought she was quite angry.
“You’re not doing this because you believe in the existence of the ‘Dragon Blood Text’ or her great-grandfather, right? I am one of the likely heirs to the throne. “It’s different from a child like Sien.”
The corner of her mouth trembles as she draws a cold line.
I wanted to somehow create a threatening appearance, but it seemed like it was difficult to control my emotions.
Of course, it didn’t mean much to me.
I slightly looked away with a disgruntled attitude. It meant that I didn’t want to hear it, and it was an action that could easily be perceived as rude.
If only I wasn’t a ‘master’.
Unfortunately, Princess Iris did not seem to have heard the news.
“One last chance… ….”
“Your Highness does not have the authority to give me orders.”
It was an unwavering assertion.
The answer was given in a somewhat roundabout way, but Iris, who was already excited, took even this as a provocation. The sound of teeth grinding could clearly be heard.
Originally, she would have noticed something suspicious about her around this time. Because the throne was not an easy position for someone who was not sharp to aim for her.
But Princess Iris, who has just come to her senses, is different.
Actually, I had no intention of going this far either. Isn’t doing this on purpose without revealing my identity tantamount to ridicule?
Now that she was a ‘Master’, there were many ways to put pressure on Princess Iris. There was no need to trample on her opponent like this.
I never thought I would hear such words.
“I, obviously… Ian Perkus, haven’t you heard? “You are responsible too.”
Yes, ‘responsibility’.
The words spoken in a trembling voice were especially annoying. So much so that my eyebrows narrowed slightly.
“Due to your incompetence, you failed to notice Celine Hastur’s betrayal in advance. Furthermore, you encountered a felon who attempted to assassinate the royal family twice and sent him back to life?”
It was correct in every detail.
I blamed myself several times. Why didn’t I realize Celine’s feelings earlier? If I had, there might have been a slightly different ending.
But only two people.
Princess Iris and Dalton had no right to say that.
“You probably don’t know how serious a crime it is to assassinate the royal family, right? He seems confident that he has made a small contribution, but politics is an Asari style. The second son of a self-author who has few allies…… !”
“Princess Iris.”
Even the honorific title ‘Your Highness’ was omitted.
Princess Iris’ eyes widened once again, and then her woman’s lips were chewed. Her trembling body was showing shame and anger.
“What should the person who intervened in the destruction of the Hastur family say?”
“Friday, Friday… Are you trying to hold me responsible? Dare… “Like you?”
“I don’t have to ask.”
Then I slightly raised the corners of my mouth.
It was a ridicule that seemed incomprehensible.
“After all, Celine will be responsible for your sins.”
The woman’s body, which was shocked and angry, froze in an instant.
The face turned pale and then warmed up again, which meant that the wounds from that day had not yet fully healed.
That’s why it goes on so rampant.
Uncontrollable variables are dangerous. Since ancient times, those in power have worked hard to eliminate them.
It was a kind of instinct.
Fear, a behavioral principle deeply imprinted in the species’ genes, was always accompanied by disgust.
Like right now.
But having his true feelings revealed was never a pleasant process. On the contrary, I wouldn’t know if it makes me run wild like a wild animal that has been caught at its weakest part.
Princess Iris’s hand was raised. As if he was going to hit me in the face like this.
But she never achieved her will.
“Stop it.”
The words were said with a hint of hostility.
There was no need to put her hands on her waist. Because I had mastered the art of mid-movement to the point of perfection, I was able to use all my secrets even with my whole body relaxed.
Nevertheless, it was a killing blow from the ‘Master’.
There was no way an ordinary human could survive. It was the same no matter how close it was to ‘annoyance’ rather than ‘sincerity’. In fact, Princess Iris is famous for being weak from birth.
The woman’s hand, which had stopped, twitched arbitrarily. Like an herbivore facing a wild beast, a vague sense of fear passes through startled eyes.
I spoke last.
“You will regret it.”
Was that languid warning the final blow?
The woman’s eyebrows twitched as she thought she had been insulted, and then she felt the muscles of her raised arms contract. By then, my hand had already reached the hatchet at my waist.
I was about to pull it out like this and blow off my temple.
“Woe, Your Majesty the Prince!”
The door was opened with a loud bang, and the harsh sound of a guard was heard. The reason the princess and I stopped moving was also closely related to that.
‘His Royal Highness.’
There is only one person who would open the door of the Second Princess Iris without her permission.
First Prince Biltheon.
She was a sculptural handsome man with dark blue hair and blue eyes. According to rumors, she looked exactly like the emperor or the swordsman in his youth.
His hand, which had a similar color tone to Shien’s, slowly rose.
“It’s been a while, Sir Ian. But… ….”
I trailed off her words and looked at the atmosphere in her room. Bill Theon lifted the corner of her mouth as she sneered.
Even the sight of her smiling as he closed his eyes was a man with an exciting taste.
“I guess I arrived at an odd time.”
“Viltheon!”
The one who burst out in anger was Princess Iris.
Just as I was already becoming more sensitive, my greatest nemesis had just appeared without a word. There was no way I could just quietly let this go.
“What’s going on without saying anything? No matter how family you are, you can’t carelessly enter a lady’s room…… !”
“Stop, stop.”
With a hearty laugh, Biltheon began to walk at a leisurely pace.
A leisurely gait as if you were out for a walk.
Princess Iris frowned slightly at that calm and weak attitude. But that was all, no further reaction was seen.
Because I couldn’t guess Biltheon’s intentions.
I was also skeptical, so I decided to wait and see what happened.
“Iris, you always talk so much… Also, I can guess the general situation.”
Viltheon, who was now standing in front of Princess Iris, spoke. With a smile.
“Bite your teeth hard.”
“Well, what…” ….”
Let’s do it.
Silence fell with a sharp ringing sound.
Everyone’s eyes widened. I was no exception, and the only one here with a calm face was Biltheon.
He was the one who slapped Princess Iris.
It was never going to be a ‘pretend’. In that case, there was no reason for her woman’s body to stumble even for a moment. Above all, the red handprint on that cheek.
A faint moan flowed from the princess’ mouth, unable to escape her shock.
“Uh, eh…… ?”
But Biltheon’s violence did not stop there.
Clap, clap, clap!
Viltheon repeatedly struck Iris’ cheeks with all his strength. Now, for a woman who had just woken up from a coma, it was almost unbearable.
Soon, blood flowed from between the lips of Princess Iris, who sat down.
It meant that the entire inside of her mouth exploded. Also, at first glance, it looks like several pieces of pure white teeth have broken off.
It was a blow that an adult man with a stocky body struck her with all his might. It was a natural result, but I still couldn’t understand it.
Princess Iris jumped up with the power of her anger.
“What are you doing now…… !”
Park!
The man’s palm hit my cheek once again, and now not even the sound of skin meeting each other resonated.
Rather, yes.
A noise as if someone had been hit with a fist.
The woman’s body collapsed again. A hand stroking my cheek, and a face filled with disbelief.
I was sure.
Now, Princess Iris says her mental shock is greater than her physical pain.
The woman began to raise her voice.
“What are you doing…” … !”
The sound of a thud and a kick.
The woman’s body is rolling on the ground.
“Well, what…?” … !”
The prince’s feet struck the woman’s body mercilessly. In the end, Princess Iris, who crouched down, had no choice but to be beaten due to her helplessness.
Screaming.
“What, I ask…” Evil! Evil! Now, you know… “Wow!”
While her arms were open for a moment, the body of the woman who had been hit in the solar plexus flew into the sky.
And silence.
I had been beaten to the point where I couldn’t even breathe properly. The princess let out her moans and twitched her body, but lost her ability to utter any more words.

It was then.
Bill Theon smiled and held out her hand to me who was standing there in silence.
The sight of him exhaling and wiping the sweat from his forehead was so peaceful.
“I’m sorry, Sir Ian…” “Will you forgive my sister’s rudeness?”
I had a hunch at that time.
This man is not ordinary.
