134. the truth beneath the gold
Sitting in her seat, Princess Ainis stared at me while sipping the tea her maid Bertia was driving.
It was given to Bertia in the sense of calming her heart, but before preparing for battle, she was wet with her tongue as if she were managing a sword.
“So, you’re dating our Alice?”
“sister! Call me Elise from here!”
She wondered why she was using the academy’s pseudonym, Elise, instead of her real name, Elise, even at the villa, but Princess Inis accepted her sister’s request right away.
“…So, you’re dating our Elise?”
“No, I’m not dating.”
“Right, sister. I’m not dating, I’m just owned.”
Elise clings to her side and crosses her arms. Watching Princess Inis spill tea from her mouth as if vomiting blood, I hurriedly pushed Elise away.
“I never owned him. They are just students attending the same academy. There are no emotions that are just rational!”
“How can that be! How cute and beautiful our Elise is! Aren’t you a eunuch?”
“Poop.”
Princess Inis, who suddenly makes a sudden leap, and Tana, who hears it from the side and laughs. I pretend to be wrong right away, but I’ve already seen it.
‘I can’t talk to this family.’
I had expected it after seeing Prince Oliver and Elise, but Princess Inis also seemed quite insane. I don’t know if the extremely authoritative environment of the royal family made it this way, or if it’s the original bloodline.
“And if you’re just an academy student, why are you here?”
The lengthy explanation was given by Bertia. As she listened to the situation, Princess Ainis’s expression gradually darkened and finally turned into fear.
I didn’t even care about Princess Ainis, who had been hostile to me until now. She said as if pleading with Elise.
“Do you really have to?”
“……”
“Oliver’s brother is a scary person. He’s cruel, and he’s capable of smashing anything around him. I… I don’t want to lose you, Elise.”
“sister.”
Ainis, who approached crying, knelt in front of Elysee and carefully took her hand.
“It’s just heartbreaking that Illina’s sister was assassinated by Oliver’s brother. No clue. How do you deal with a disease that no one on the continent knows about?”
“But you know when you look at Oliver’s brother’s next steps. As if they were ready, they erased the traces of Ilina sister and quickly took her place.”
“that……”
“Besides, you can’t put Oliver’s brother on the throne. You know your sister too. If we bow our heads to save our lives, we will see the blood and tears of our citizens flowing from our feet.”
The story of the two princesses continues.
Elysee was of the position that, along with the cause, she had to fight for Ilina, who was assassinated a long time ago.
Princess Inis was begging that her little sister, whom she cherished so much, would not be in danger.
I didn’t bother to intervene.
Not only me, but Tana and Bertia also kept their mouths shut and tried to look away from the two of them.
Everyone knows that this is a position that cannot be interfered with, so the moment I read the words about Princess Illina while looking at the documents Bertia gave me.
“uh?”
I unknowingly exclaimed, and the eyes of the women are focused on me.
Bertiana Tana subtly noticed and kept her mouth shut, while Princess Ainis openly glared at her in annoyance.
I couldn’t stay silent any longer.
Because the report on Princess Illina’s condition was accurately linked to a scene she had recently seen.
“It’s a little out of the way, but I think I know how Princess Ilina was assassinated.”
Then everyone looks at me with surprised eyes.
“Don’t be silly!”
In particular, Princess Ainis, who was overly emotional about her sister’s death, jumped up and shouted.
“No one on the continent has ever found out! No one knows how or what poison it was fed! That’s why it was dismissed as an incurable disease!”
The voice of Princess Ainis, who cried and cried, contained the desperation that leaked from the core formed in her chest.
“But you found out that you only read a few of those articles? so easy? Then, my sister… my sister…!”
Feeling dejected, Inis wiped away her tears with her hand and cried like a child.
“It means that it could have been saved. If only we, I would have worked a little harder…”
understand what it means
That must mean that Princess Illina was a precious person to Princess Inis.
Seeing her crying sadly like a child while putting down her title as the second princess.
Elise slowly got up and hugged her sister while looking at me with determined eyes.
“Daniel, please tell me.”
Brilliant blonde hair was discolored to a dull white. Princess Illina died with pain all over her body, unable to walk properly, her back was bent, and tiny wrinkles and spots all over her body.
My mouth opens and answers pour out that only two people on the continent know.
It was the moment when the injustice of the beautiful Princess Ilina de Freesia was relieved.

“Are the preparations going well?”
Prince Oliver burying a woman in his arms in the king’s office. When asked about the progress of this time’s royal banquet, the butler who was standing by gave a polite reply.
“Yes, it is going smoothly.”
“Yeah, this time my father is going to attend with an unreasonable body. You have to proceed with caution, very grandly.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
“Expand your budget. It’s still not enough.”
The butler left, and Oliver, who had also sent the woman he was holding, looked around the room he was in.
Since his father, Hyeonwang, was ill, he was currently handling business as an agent. In fact, it was more favored as a place to enjoy one’s entertainment and pleasure rather than work.
Strangely, drinking here made it sweeter, and hugging a woman flooded me with pleasure.
The royal banquet in the next few days.
There was talk of what kind of banquet it was while the current king was lying around, but of course, Oliver did not hear it.
The moment those words entered his ears, the person who spoke them would no longer belong to this world.
‘It should be more flashy.’
It is known externally that the reason for the banquet has the meaning of wishing for his father’s health, but the meaning of Prince Oliver’s thoughts was slightly different.
‘This is a banquet to celebrate my seat on the throne. It should be more splendid and more splendid.’
When the banquet was over, it was time to enjoy everything.
his father dies She will die as pathetic as her older sister, Illina de Freesia.
And naturally, he sits on the next throne.
I couldn’t hold back my smile. Oliver nodded his head unresponsively and started riding the rhythm.
The door opened without knocking and a silver-haired shrine maiden entered.
“Have you had any fun? They are having fun.”
When the witch asked with a mischievous smile, Oliver frowned and annoyed.
“You came in like this when you didn’t knock on the king’s office and didn’t give permission to come in? If it were someone else, I would have nothing to say even if I were hanged for insulting the royal family!”
It was a little exaggerated, but it was the truth anyway. However, the shrine maiden smiled like a half moon.
“I wish it was someone else. I did it because I knew it was okay because I wasn’t.”
“Cheet.”
I haven’t liked it since. From those eyes that know everything, to the gestures that secretly read one’s heart and act.
“Okay, where did you go? I must have told you not to move recklessly until the banquet, right?”
It was fired as if warning, but the woman smirked and raised her hand high, exclaiming.
“God allowed me to meet Kiin. You are truly the one I have been waiting for! I was a little late making preparations for him.”
“cause?”
He said something, but Prince Oliver decided not to get involved too deeply. It wasn’t the first time I’ve felt a headache in my head trying to follow what she was saying.
“So, after the banquet this time, I think I will have to go with Gin.”
“You mean you’re leaving me?”
“Uh-huh, whoever hears it will be misunderstood. I am here by divine guidance, not with Prince Oliver.”
“…Are you sure you will attend the banquet?”
Seeing Prince Oliver’s anxious expression on his face, the shaman did not worry and smiled.
“of course. It seems that my brother-in-law will also be attending the banquet. I’ll meet you there and let you go. I can give you one final goodbye to the prince.”
“Whoa, yes.”
rather it went well
He introduced that shaman to take over the nobles, and the effect was so great that he made many nobles support him.
‘The influence has grown too great.’
Especially in the case of Heven Ren, he followed the priestess’s words as if they were a revelation from God.
‘It would be better if you let me know at this point. The timing is just right.’
“It seems that the prince has really changed from before.”
“What?”
Prince Oliver frowned at the sudden remark and asked again.
“Well, whoever is human changes over time. It’s obvious. Whether that is growth or culling depends on the individual.”
“If you’re going to keep talking bullsh*t like that, just get out.”
“Heh, that is the word of God. It would be good for you to engrave it.”
bang.
The door closed and Prince Oliver ran his hand over his forehead.
Until the banquet, a shrine maiden is needed.
However, after that, when he sat on the throne, it was only a stumbling block.
It is said that even if it tries to vomit, its teeth are so sharp that it cannot help hurting itself.
Prince Oliver smiled, feeling that everything was going his way.
