096 The Royal Strikes Back (1)
No matter what anyone says, this is the main character.
The decisions are made by themselves, and I am the supporting actor who is notified after death.
The next day, my heart still did not calm down. I couldn’t sleep until dawn.
“Prince, are you okay?”
“yes? Yes. it’s okay.”
I lifted my head at the voice of Sir Elizabeth.
Sitting across from the table, she looked at me with a worried look.
To be precise, I was surprised to see the notebook turned black at the tip of the quill I was holding.
I smiled and turned the page.
At some point, the picnic area prepared in the outdoor dance hall of the Imperial Palace was used for me and my guests like this.
Even after Sir Haynes’ class was over, the dance floor was noisy.
– Kururu!
“Demiya, wait! Are you teasing your sister right now? Ouch!”
– Kiying!
This is because our protagonists, Kristel and Prince Sedric, have been playing the role of a ‘play seat’ for the red pandas for two hours.
A vine the thickness of a telephone pole that grew from the ground wrapped around the two men and women.
Christel was weak against the earth attribute because it was a water attribute, and the prince was helpless against the love offensive of Leia and Perry.

“Are you very angry?”
“I am not angry. just······.”
At Count So’s question, I blurted out.
If you ask me if I was in a difficult situation because of the two of them, in fact, it wasn’t.
Cunning and clever, Kristel never mentioned my name at yesterday’s annual prayer meeting.
‘The Prince and I will be paired with him, not with the bishops here.’
It was. He only said ‘He’, but he never specified me.
She announced that she and the prince had an appointed priest partner, and declared that she would not interfere with the same subject in the future.
Thanks to this, the bishops could not talk more about me in the midst of chaos.
Even with my eyes closed, I wondered if it was too much at this point.
But Cardinal Bootier, whom I met this morning, was different.
‘It turned out to be quite effective. Even the bishops who attended yesterday’s supper meeting were confused.’
‘…’
‘Yeah, Kristel didn’t mention the name or title of her partner. Of course, there are those who say that it must be a prince, but there are also many opinions that it must be an unknown priest.’
My mouth opened on its own. I didn’t expect opinions to be so divided.

Of course, I imagined a relaxed atmosphere even though I knew it was me.
‘Paladin instinctively seeks to protect the priest, so we’re guessing that they use anonymity to protect their low-ranking mates. It was fun.’
Protection, yes. The two of them seemed to protect me, and they created such a division.
It was the intention of preventing me from going up and down in other people’s mouths and going through legal procedures afterwards.
The part that pissed me off at myself was that I could understand the psychology of the two of them in the midst of this.
I don’t know if I can’t understand the language at all, but it was difficult to push because the principle of action was strangely understood.
I stared at the map given to me by David, the prince’s attendant.
Some of the empire’s vast territories were highlighted in red.
“The prince told me to consider naturalization. Here we pick one.”
“Great, my God.”
As I said, Sir Elizabeth, who was drinking kiwi juice, covered her mouth with a napkin.
A light of astonishment and understanding appeared on her face as she scanned the map. Look, it’s like this.
“exactly······. It is the most perfect way to protect the prince.”
“Yes.”
“If you give up your nationality in the New Penetian Empire and become a Lister noble, your Majesty and Your Majesty will actively protect you as well.”
Sir Elizabeth said. I nodded.
It was not a bad option if only survival was considered.
No, maybe it couldn’t be better than this.
If you receive a country estate far from the border and live there, it will be peaceful even in times of war.
But I have a lot to consider.
After taking a sip of cool chamomile tea, I went back to the front page of my notebook.
∙ Avoid vs get involved
– The good thing about being involved: it will be easy to get information
– Best to avoid: You can live until the war
It was the contents I took notes when I went to the summer resort. The second line was especially important.
From https://noblemtl.com
Obviously, I thought that war would break out as planned if I did not intervene in the main story of the original, avoiding the two men and women.
But when the situation turned out like this, I had a lot of different thoughts.
Could it be that a war is being waged because of me?
Now, it’s too late to step out, and what if I’m naturalized and a fight ensues?
“······· Evande.”
“yes? Are you talking about Princess Eva?”
“No, no.”
I waved my hand and smiled.
Sir Elizabeth, who smiled face to face, resumed appreciation of Kristel and the prince’s struggles.
Demi’s exasperated cries and the sound of people dying could be heard.
– Kiing
“Noona, it’s so hard, Demiya……. Let’s rest for five minutes and play.”
– Gee, Kiy!
“Yeah, Colonel Watering Can!”
-Shoot!
War breaks out because of me
This is a huge excess of self-consciousness, and it also contradicts what I’ve heard from Jung Eun-seo.
As far as I know, the Prince and Prince Jesse were in a typical romantic relationship.
‘It’s good to get along well with handsome boys, but it’s equally satisfying to see them fighting. So I have no complaints.’
My brother’s voice echoed in my head.
I don’t know what it means to look good even if you fight, but I thought it might be similar to the way I feel proud when I see Kristel and the prince.
Anyway, Toegye Gong’s two men were not close enough to recommend or consider naturalization.
So, the original cause of the war must not have been this. There must have been some political issue.
∙ Naturalization
– Is it the cause of the war?: Probably not, at least not in the original.
– Then is it okay to naturalize?
This······. I tapped the paper with a quill.
Prince Jesse’s family could not be called harmonious, even in empty words.
It was a family in which the crazy Guk-seo sent assassins to other countries to kill their adopted sons.
Crown Princess Elissa, who had her sister’s bodyguard attached and secretly sent a letter, seemed to be a decent person.
However, as long as Gukseo existed, the entire Shinguk was a dangerous area for me.
I am safe now in the Imperial Palace, but naturalization would surely give me a different level of reassurance.
Even if I return home later, the prince will be at peace here.
“Well.”
However, changing nationality seems like a big change.
He was worried that the prince would never see his sister again.
Even with the little princess… did you want to get along
difficult. There were big and small difficulties after possessing, but this was really difficult.
“Demi, Leah, Perry.”
I called the children.
The red pandas, who were playing with the two men and women like dolls, came running towards me without unraveling the vines.
Kristel, who was grayish, and the prince, whose head was disheveled, were also brought to the table.
“Is it fun to play after a while? great?”
– Gurreur!
I wiped their feet with a wet towel.
The divine beasts were so smart, I knew my body couldn’t handle their power.
So, to me, she only showed me aegyo, such as making flowers bloom or hanging on thin stems.
It must have been a long time since I had been wallowing around with my strength open to my heart’s content like today.
I looked at Christel, breathing heavily. she was startled
“Prince, you are wrong. please forgive me.”
Very automatic, automatic.
“Do you know what I did wrong?”
“The prince said that we liked us and that we passed as partners, so we were so happy that we announced that we had a partner without prior consultation with the prince. Besides, this has happened before. When we set fire to the inn of ‘Le Sipre’. The prince and I were planning a plan only with the two of us, and the prince, who only found out about the situation later, was upset. We apologize for making you feel disrespected again.”
Wow······.
I was instantly stunned by the clear apology.
I didn’t even know what was causing my trouble, but when she pointed it out properly, my heart was clear like a first-class.
At this time, the conversation went open without any further interruption.
I washed my face dry and suppressed my laughter.
“Did someone you know so well do that?”
There was even a little bit of medication.
“I will never do that again. It’s real.”
Christel said hurriedly. Then, he lightly kicked Leia’s vines wrapped around the prince.
It was your body language to apologize quickly. Then the prince frowned.
“…not enough ether.”
“ah!”
Kristel looked up at the sky and was furious. I bit my lip.
This time it was really funny and it looked like it was going to explode.
So I quickly bowed down and hugged the red pandas once.
He also didn’t forget to receive the tree branch he had asked for with gratitude from somewhere.
Aether will not be enough. I dealt with the energy of three divine beasts for two hours.
“There is no ether today. Partners are also temporary.”
“yes? However,”
“I never promised myself that I would. If you respect me, you will follow me.”
As he spoke firmly, Kristel shut her mouth.
The prince’s orange eyes narrowed dissatisfied.
“I will think more about the naturalization issue and talk about it. It is not a decision right now.”
“why,”
– Tuk!
Kristel kicked the vine of the prince who spoke to him again.
I bit my tongue to hold back the sound.
Then I saw Sir Elizabeth crying on the table.
“Demi, go play with your friends again. Then go ahead.”
“It’s not Pororo….”
Kristel muttered blankly.
As soon as my words ran out, the red pandas ran to the middle of the dance hall.
As the vines moved, the bodies of the two of them also hurriedly disappeared from sight.
······ Even here, you will need a notarization when you get married.
Shall we fill out a marriage registration form, cover the details, and get married by snatching the signatures of two people?
As I recalled the revenge that would never come true, I smiled a little.
“Hmm, hmm. Thank you so much for the housewarming gift, Prince.”
At that time, Sir Elizabeth, who barely managed to get rid of laughter, changed the topic.
“I’m glad you liked it.”
“The one I’m wearing now is the uniform the prince has tailored. I got it yesterday and started it today.”
Experimenting in the mansion kitchen showed that the fire didn’t really catch on, and she showed her arms outstretched.
It was already before Ahre that I ordered a special uniform with flame resistance from the trading post.
I was excited to see how happy they are that they can wear them alternately because they are two sets.
Count Sophie continued.
“My father was surprised to see the magic sprinkler running. As I get older, I don’t know much about things that are coming out these days. I was stunned to find out that it was the work of Uncle François.”
“Who are you?”
“Didn’t the prince know?”
Sir Elizabeth blinked her gray eyes a few times, then raised the corners of her lips.
“The Marquis Duhem. Since teleportation is my specialty, I am very interested in research and development of portals. Recently, it is said that such household items are also invented. You never miss a place where money comes in.”
She continued to explain.
He said that the magic sprinkler developed by the Marquis is also like a small portal.
If one of the two parts was placed in a tank and the other was installed in the greenhouse, the water in the tank was moved and sprayed into the greenhouse whenever the magic formula engraved on the part was activated.
I heard a simple usage at the trading post, but I didn’t know that it was the work of the Marquis. Are you a genius?
“The Marquis is really… It has a wide range of activities.”
“Don’t talk. Flashing in the East Flashing in the West. We met a few days ago in the zodiac, and now we are making some kind of crystal plate.”
“A revised version?”
“yes. It is said to be a set with marbles carved out of magic stones. In any case, he said he would put a human face on a large crystal plate. I don’t know where I can use it.”
I opened my eyes wide. Dry saliva gulped down.
What Eunseo Jung said, that… kiss time. kiss cam. is that supposed to be this?

That night, an uninvited guest entered my bedroom.
I hurriedly hid the notebook with the ‘operation details’ in my pajamas.
“How long will you vomit?”
“·················ogue.”
Then I stared at the child who entered the room without hesitation from the balcony.
Do you think I’ll pass by just because I’m coming this way?
“Not enough ether.”
Little boy, Sadie looked up at me and said. It sounded the same as during the day.
His forehead was all wet with sweat. There was no blood on his white cheeks and nape.
When I gave no answer, the kid lowered his head in anger.
The little body staggered.
“you,”
I sat back down and grabbed him. Oh, really. this······.
“Fire fox.”
I mumbled. What he did was a fox, but he was a fire fox because he used fire.
I took the child’s arm and slowly began to release the ether.
He let out a deep sigh, but he couldn’t help it because his breathing was unstable.
Because it sounded like a smirk.
