Chapter 714 – #96. Jinhaesol (18)
I learned that the nobles had already played tricks on me, and that I was in a situation where I was already victimized by it.
This is the taste of nobility! I thought.
‘It’s really amazing.’
Since several nobles visited each day, it was impossible to check who gave what gifts.
Besides, what do you mean by knowing what the alchemist’s potion called Forbidden Drug is?
‘I don’t have enough energy to get help with something like that.’
By the way, stealing a woman’s vitality to gain vigor…
I definitely thought that this place was a fantasy world.
There are also monsters, but wouldn’t we be able to see them at least once someday?
The king said that he had an idea of wiping out the aristocratic faction that was against me in this case.
‘Seeing that the king is quite confident, it seems to me that he has the ability…’
In fact, it was very easy to prove that I was innocent even if I wasn’t a king.
Why do you take alchemist pills?
Isn’t it because of lack of energy?
So, if I proved that there was no reason to take medicine by making irrational numbers, it would prove that I was framed.
However, the king seemed to be able to pressure the nobles without having to go through such a procedure.
‘It’s unseemly to say that I will prove my stamina, so I’ll just have to watch it.’
It was also helpful to me to see how the king treated the nobles.
By the way.
“He’s here tonight too.”
“Yes?”
“No, I heard. The prince uses the alchemist’s potion and has great energy.”
“You’re a ridiculous name!”
The courtiers were astonished at my words and sided with me.
They were the courtiers who watched the night life closest to me, so they were the ones who knew better than anyone that the incident was a false accusation.
“Haha! That’s right. It’s a false name. But isn’t that what rumors are originally? If one person is falsely accused, even if they don’t believe it, if three or more people are falsely accused, it becomes true.’
“Don’t worry. We’ll prove you’re sound!”
“That’s right. We, who watched the prince more closely than anyone else, have no doubts.”
It seems that this is why the kings keep them close even though they know that they are treacherous.
It wasn’t so bad to hear the right words in my mouth.
If only he had never experienced anything like this.
If he had been a commoner himself and had come to visit his father, he would have been swept away by the courtiers’ smooth speech.
Star disease is caused by a change in the attitude of these people, but since he was a commoner and then a prince who will inherit the throne, the words that melted away around him were no joke.
“Ha, embarrassing.”
“It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“Rather, you should be proud of it by publicizing it widely.”
“If the prince allows it, we will do our best to inform you.”
The courtiers are clamoring to actively step forward to help relieve the prince’s injustice as if they had suffered an injustice.
“Anyway, that’s why I thought I’d have to spend the night alone. Because of those nasty rumors.”
“I can’t be shaken by such ridiculous rumors. Aren’t they the ones who benefited from the prince?”
“No, I didn’t mean to say that, but I wanted you to ask me indirectly if you came without knowing. What if I’m surprised by the rumors later?”
“Prince…”
It wouldn’t hurt to be shy until you proved your innocence.
I’ve been so promiscuous lately that I needed to wake up.
If you mixed up with me for no reason and felt embarrassed, I could feel dirty too.
‘The king even told me to stay away for the time being because I didn’t know if there was still some energy left in my body.’
The court lady, unaware of this situation, said with her eyes reddened, perhaps moved by what I said.
“To put such a false name on such a merciful prince…”
“Haha, I’m really fine, so go ahead and ask around and let me know.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
The courtier left the room with a pretty grim face.
I wondered if what I had to do was to be done with such a spleen face, but I decided to do it.
Shortly after the palace attendant leaves.
The courtier came back to me with a very satisfied smile.
“What?”
“You said you already knew about it and that you didn’t care too much about it.”
“Really?”
You came even though you knew that you were suspicious of taking the alchemist’s medicine that was said to increase your stamina by taking away your life force?
‘Am I good at sex enough to risk my life?’
Come to think of it, her family once said something like this.
There are people who have never had sex with me, but no one has ever had sex with me.
That meant that sex with me was highly addictive.
And even here, the ability seemed to be demonstrated without fail.
Forgetting the fear of getting hit by the alchemist’s medicine and seeing women coming to see me.
“Then I’ll call the young lady.”
“Okay.”
The courtiers made the bed and everyone withdrew.
After they disappear, a familiar woman enters my room.
I don’t know her name because I’ve embraced so many women, but I’m trying my best to learn her face.
“Prince!”
“Welcome.”
I got up from my seat and welcomed the young lady entering.
As soon as she saw me, she smiled brightly and asked how I was doing.
“Are you all right, Prince?”
“Are you asking because of the news?”
“Yes, how did such a vicious rumor spread… I asked my father, but he didn’t tell me who did it.
Apparently, this young lady came from an aristocratic family that had nothing to do with this case.
So, you’re going to tell me so confidently.
“I’m fine. Since I was framed for doing something I didn’t have to do in the first place, I just need to let you know that I didn’t have to. The problem is that Your Highness was very angry.”
“Your Highness?!”
When Young lady mentions the king, he is taken aback.
“You’ve been very angry. I’m worried that there might be unnecessary bloodshed because of me…”
The reason I dared to say this to the young lady was to spread rumors.
It’s 100% that this woman relays what I said to others.
When they hear that the king is angry, the nobles who have been watching the situation will know that the time has come to make a choice.
Young Ae seemed to have noticed the meaning of my words, as if she was also a smarter person than I thought.
‘Maybe he came here on purpose to see how I was doing?’
Just as I carefully examine the nobles, the nobles are carefully examining and scrutinizing me.
It is to check how I respond to being framed and to see if I have the qualities of a ‘king’.
And the attitude I’m showing now will appeal to nobles quite a bit.
‘Aristocrats who have no intention of ascending to the throne will be very curious about what kind of person I am.’
Of course, visiting my palace and having a conversation will help you understand me.
However, isn’t the appearance revealed at the moment of crisis revealing the true value of that person?
In that respect, I thought I should remember this woman who came to try to scoop me up.
‘It’s not an easy task to evaluate people, but the family entrusted you with that task. She’s kind of the one with her head spinning.’
Moreover, if it’s someone from a noble family who doesn’t hate me and is willing to cooperate to some extent…
‘It would be nice to make it on my side for the future.’
I decided to change the subject as if nothing significant had been said.
“That’s why I thought there would be no young lady visiting my room today.”
“Ah…You thought you would believe the rumors.”
“Alchemist drug. I don’t know the details, but it’s a terrible drug.”
“That’s right. Many women had to lose their lives because of that drug. It hasn’t happened since it was banned, but it is said that the alchemist’s drug is still circulating in the shadows.”
“They replenish their energy by taking other people’s lives. Since I’ve never felt lacking in that way, I sometimes don’t understand why they would do such a thing.”
“Oh..!”
At my words, a blush appeared on the young lady’s face.
A stranger would click her tongue, saying it was bluff, but the woman who had slept with me could understand it.
And she intends to prove to her that she is responsible for her words.
Tonight, right now.
Once I held her hand with a surprised expression on her face.
“If you believe me, you’ve come here, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel bad at all. I’ll prove myself that I’m a body that doesn’t require the use of alchemist medicine.”
The young lady, who quickly realized the meaning of my words, blushed once again.
One hand held her hand, and the other wrapped around her delicate waist.
“Oh!”
The world I lived in was a typical gender reversal, with women leading social life and men helping out at home.
But here, despite the similar ratio of men and women to our world, the male lineage is predominantly inherited.
Of course, that doesn’t mean women do housework.
Women do all the dirty work.
Nevertheless, it is the man who inherits the family, and the women of the family live for the family according to the order of the head of the family.
‘This woman is also here to work for the family.’
But if work is as difficult as it is difficult, won’t burnout come soon?
Enjoying it while you can enjoy it is a good law for yourself.
And I was very willing to teach this woman how to have fun at work.
‘She said there are people who have never done it before, but there is no one who has only done it once.’
I’ve never had sex with my heart in this place before, but today I felt like I had to get my heart out a little bit.
His skin was white, perhaps because he had grown so finely, and he had no scars.
The woman with milky white skin had moderately plump flesh, so to put it vulgarly, she had a nice body.
For reference, the standard of beauty in this world is that thinness is regarded as poor and disliked, and the once popular ‘bagel girl’ type body was used as the standard of beauty.
So, a young lady with moderate weight could be called a beauty.
‘Seeing that it’s not too bad in my eyes, it seems that the standard of beauty is similar even though the dimensions are different.’
Of course, not everyone is considered beautiful just because they are chubby.
It’s like being skinny doesn’t mean you’re beautiful.
In that sense, I liked her moderately plump and pretty face.
