172 – The victim’s tears are too strong
“So.”
Gilbert asked, doubting his eyes and ears.
“Are you the real Aria?”
“But how many times should I say it…”
After clearing up the misunderstanding with the hero, she gathered everyone in the mansion and revealed in front of everyone that she was the crown prince. Aria was currently answering the same question countless times.
“Huh, this is it. What should I say to that guy…?”
Gilbert, who had to tell the emperor these facts, must have been quite troubled and scratched the back of his head.
“Saint, how could it not be with your power?”
Aria clings to her saint with her earnest gaze.
“Even if you say that, for me…”
The saint just avoided Aria’s gaze as if she was embarrassed.
It may be seen as a lack of her saintly abilities, but she had no choice this time.
‘It’s not an item bundled in a set for no reason.’
If the saint had been able to solve it, the value of the curse potion item in the game would have greatly increased. There are many reasons why users do not use it.
“It would be nice if we could at least find out the cause…”
As Aria muttered softly, Thalia, who had been lost in thought, opened her mouth.
“He’s been feeling a little better since Ian fed him something yesterday. Isn’t that probably because of that?”
No, but this b*tch?
Mesgaki, who only shows sharp insight in situations like this, immediately made me, who was dreaming of the perfect crime, a suspect.
‘If you say something like that in this situation… !’
“…Is what I just said true?”
Sure enough. Aria immediately came towards me and started questioning me.
“….”
“Why can’t I answer?”
No, then what should I do here? I took off your dick. How can I say this?
My ambiguous attitude only aroused Aria’s suspicions.
“Aren’t you asking me if it’s true?”
She grabbed me by the collar and raised her head to glare at me.
‘This kind of humiliation to a guy who is one head shorter than me…’ .’
For a moment, it almost left a huge wound to my pride, but when I thought about it, I realized that it was something that happened all the time.

“Tell me! What on earth did you feed me!”
“Kekkek! Tell me about this!”
“You two, calm down!”
“Stop it, Aria!”
The saint and the warrior rushed out and kept Aria and me at a distance.
I said, rubbing my neck, which had been held until just now.
“No, I saved the life of a dying person, but now they’re telling me to hand over the bundle! Look, I was letting go! You were nailing the coffin by now!”
But Aria did not sit still either.
“How on earth are you supposed to live with such a fierce look on your face? It would have been much better to die with honor!”
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
“It’s all because of you!”
At that time, there was a sharp conflict between the opinion that it was better than dying and the opinion that we could not live like this.
“Stop.”
The fight that seemed like no one would give in ended with Gilbert stepping forward.
“I wonder what the normal guys on the outside are doing. If you’re old enough, you both should do that.”
Despite this, the two people are still glaring at each other and fussing.
Gilbert would understand. It’s not me who’s using force now, it’s that guy.
But Ian didn’t know. That Aria has a weapon that can turn that unfavorable situation around.
“…Sniff.”
Huh?
“I, sob…! I don’t even know how I feel… Ugh… I can’t do it well…”
Is it because of female hormones? As her emotions intensify, Aria suddenly starts crying.
Just when I was thinking that she might not be the winner. Gilbert approached her and patted her shoulder.
“Don’t cry, Aria. If she is the daughter of the imperial family, she shouldn’t show tears in a place like this.”
“Sniff…! That guy keeps sobbing… At me…!”
As Aria’s sobbing intensified, Gilbert’s eyes turned to me.
“You. Don’t you think it’s too harsh?”
With eyes that seem like I’ve seen them somewhere before.
‘Where did I see that?’
There was one thing that came to mind.
It was a summer day when I was in the third grade of elementary school.
The most popular girl in my class once spoke to me.
-Uh, OO….
-Huh?
-You know….
-What is it? Why do you stutter like that? Where are you hurting?
-That, that! There’s something I really want to tell you… ! Come to the auditorium after school! Absolutely!
The girl said that and left as if running away.
-Oh! Yoon OO finally escapes solo?
-Youngseok, if you don’t know, just shut up.
At that time, the punishment of having the loser confess was popular among elementary school students.
-Who do you think is a fool?
I was sensitive to trends, so as soon as I finished school, I headed straight to the orphanage.
And the next day. The girl didn’t come to school.
That day, as I was leaving the school gate after school, someone stopped me.
-Child. Let’s talk to you for a moment.
-The teacher told me not to follow people I don’t know.
-… I am not that kind of suspicious person.
-He said that if you see someone who says things like that is the most dangerous, you should report it right away….
-….
The man said he was the girl’s uncle and asked me about taking me to a nearby cafe and buying me something to eat.
-Why didn’t you come to the auditorium yesterday? Do you know how much she cried and fussed because of that?
My uncle scolded me, telling me that even if I didn’t like it, I shouldn’t ignore people’s feelings so carelessly.
I told that man that I don’t know much about children.
-If it was released, kids would make fun of it for a month. Even though you do not know it that well.
-No, that… ha….
‘He definitely had that kind of face back then….’
The face Gilbert was making right now was exactly the same. An uncle who takes his nephew’s side.
“Of course, I know that you did it to save Aria. You probably have something to say, too. But shouldn’t you say that while looking at the situation?”
“No, that’s…”
“If you have eyes, take a look at this person’s condition. A child who has lived his entire life as a man becomes a woman overnight. It is natural to be confused. But then you push him to the point of making blood clots in his neck? Are you still a man after all that? Man hey?”
“….”
“How dare you cry so bitterly in front of everyone else?”
“Sigh… Gilbert, stop…”
I think that’s the worst right now.
“Now, shake my hand quickly and apologize.”
“Gilbert…”
Gilbert demands forcibly to make peace, and Aria is being slapped by him.
If I cry the same way, maybe things will change.
-Kyu.
After hearing Kkyun Doli say that she had no idea, she decided to give up that plan.
It is a sin to be born a man.
***
Somehow, the situation ended with me becoming trash.
Aria, who had barely stopped crying, muttered.
“If my father finds out about this, he will be very heartbroken… I don’t know what to do about it…”
“Well, I don’t think so.”
“…What on earth do you mean, Gilbert?”
“It’s nothing. Rather, Yonseok.”
Gilbert takes off the cloak he was wearing and wraps it around Aria.
“She shouldn’t become a princess and show off her secret side to others.”
The princess.
Aria’s face was instantly distorted by the destructive power that those short, bold words brought to her.
“Who do you think is the princess now?”
“Who is it? Who is the princess here other than you?”
“….”
“If a grown woman walks around like that, she’s bitter.”
Gilbert wrapped Aria tightly, fearing that wind would enter the boat.
“Okay, it’s done. I feel relieved now.”
“…Did it really have to go this far?”
While Aria, who was now closer to Mira, was expressing her dissatisfaction, Gilbert was smiling somehow in satisfaction.
“First of all, I’ll have to talk to that guy Keas to find out, but if I can’t find a solution, I have no choice but to present you as the princess.”
“That’s it…! What will the people think of me when they find out about this? I can never accept it!”
“We’ll figure it out on our own, so just mind your own appearance.”
He said as he took his great sword that was standing on his wall.
“I’ll go back to the imperial palace and talk to that guy Keas, but until then, Aria, you’ll stay here.”
“Why don’t you take me with you?”
“What am I going to do if I go? Are I going to convince everyone I meet that I’m actually the crown prince?”
“Ugh… After hearing that, that’s true too. Then there’s nothing we can do. I understand.”
There is nothing I can do about it.
I never even heard of that.
It was so natural that I came between the two at the chosen place.
“I’m sorry about what you said, but are you currently in charge of getting permission from the landlord?”
Then Gilbert clicked his tongue and spoke.
“Why are you talking so trivially about something like that? If you think about it, you are partly responsible for things turning out like this.”
No, it’s not wrong. Anyway, that’s true.
“Still, it’s the imperial family, so there must be a few secret villas. Why do you insist on staying at my house when you can stay there?”
“Yumma. It’s because I have thoughts too.”
“What do you think?”
“Durandal.”
Instead of answering, Gilbert called the hero.
“You remember what I asked you to do, right?”
“It won’t be easy, but I have to help as much as I can.”
“That’s reassuring. Then, let’s go.”
With that, Gilbert left and I approached the warrior and asked.
“What is it? What Mr. Gilbert asked for.”
Then the warrior looked at me and spoke in a cold tone.
“You don’t have to know.”
As if to not even pay attention.
“Let’s go, Aria.”
Then he took Aria and went upstairs to her.
What is that?
***
The place where the warrior who took Aria stopped was in front of Thalia’s room.
“Durandal? Isn’t this the tower owner’s room? Why did you bring me here?”
“You’ll find out when you go in.”
“Me alone? What about you?”
“It’s a bit too much for me to be with you.”
“What on earth does that mean?”
“Everyone came first.”
The saint and Chloe came towards us from the other side of the hallway.
“For the rest, just do as Polaris tells you.”
“Now, wait a minute! Let me explain…!”
“Then shall we go in?”
“Wait a minute! Let go of this!”
Aria tried her best to resist, but the strength of her buffed saint was stronger than that of her warrior, so she had no choice but to be helplessly dragged into her room.
“I haven’t cleaned up yet, why did you come so early?”
Thalia greeted them curtly and seemed busy cleaning up her room.
It looked like something was being cleaned up, but the room’s scenery only looked messy because there were various magic tools scattered around.
“Sister, didn’t I always tell you that you have to keep your room clean? What is a lady’s room?”
“What do you think? Don’t expect the wizard to sort it out for you.”
“Really, there are people who make a mess and there are people who clean it up.”
After sighing deeply, the saint rolled up her sleeves and began to tidy up her room.
“What are you doing now? Then you don’t know where you put it!”
“Look for it later.”
“Wow! There are so many amazing things here!”
“Hey cat thief! Don’t touch me like that!”
“Then can I touch it if I’m careful?”
“That’s not what you said!”
A time when the audio was not empty even for a moment.
“Over there…”
Aria carefully opened her mouth.
“What is it?”
“What is the reason you brought me here…?”
“Ah, that.”
Thalia went to her corner and started rummaging through the things that were piled up there.
“I found it.”
After a while. In her hand was a thin string with graduations engraved at regular intervals.
“What on earth are you planning to do with that…?”
“It’s nothing special, we also had a favor to ask the hero.”
“…Durandal?”
From noble mtl dot com
Aria took a step back, feeling uneasy for some reason.
-Mulkeong.
Before I could get far, I was stopped by something soft about her.
“Saint…?”
“Now, Aria. Long live.”
“Why the sudden cheer…?”
“Why? Didn’t you try it when you were young?”
Thalia had come right in front of her, pulled her string tight and opened her mouth.
“I’m telling you to take it off. There’s no time, so hurry and take it off. Even her underwear.”
