Chapter 401 – Side Story – Continued (4)
There are many things to do as a princess.
It’s just a dungeon anyway, so wouldn’t it be okay to skip it?
But if that happens, we don’t know how future developments will change.
For example, as a princess, I should inherit the throne, but if I act roughly and get pushed out of the right to succeed to the throne, I will fail to clear the dungeon without even knowing why.
What. There is a reasonable limit to the time spent in the dungeon, so it won’t take that long to challenge it once, but that’s just an example.
Therefore, I had to play an ordinary princess. At least to the extent that it doesn’t seem strange to others.
The good news is that you don’t need to know what the princess’s original personality was like. Who could clear it if they had to think about such details? Just don’t do anything too strange.
Anyway, for that reason, the first thing I did after being stuck with the princess’s schedule was.
It was about getting dressed. A princess dress.
Still, perhaps because it was an old costume, the design was more ordinary than expected.
Even though it still had cleavage or thighs exposed, it still fell into the category of what could be called a ‘dress.’
Honestly, she looks like a fairy compared to Flora’s dress, which was more like a frilly swimsuit.
When Flora saw this dress, she commented, ‘Perhaps because it is old, the design is old-fashioned.’ Be scared of gay game sensitivity.
However, saying that the dress was closer to a real dress also meant that it was more difficult to wear.
As a result.
“One two… Seet!”
“Flora. A little gently… Ugh!”
If it were a novel, a sound that could be described as ‘a sound a woman should not make’ suddenly came out.
The culprit is the corset.
It is not a fashion corset that is sometimes seen even in modern times, but a real corset with tight internal organs.
It wasn’t the strong body of Soira, but the extremely weak body of a princess, so the tighter it was, the harder it was to breathe.
However, due to the structure of the dress, it is impossible to roughly wrap the corset.
Even though I heard that I tightened it well, I didn’t want to tighten it like this.
If I had known this would happen, I would have just worn a frilly swimsuit.
The other process ended quickly as I was barely able to hold my breath, which was only half of what I normally do.
“Soira. Are you okay?”
“…”
He barely raised his thumb.
Actually, it wasn’t okay.
Save me.
It was only after dozens of minutes had passed that I finally got used to it.
◆
As part of the morning schedule, the meeting with Marquis Musig passed without incident.
No, was there anything wrong?
To be honest, at that time, I was still not used to the corset, so I was half out of my mind. I don’t even know what I said.
Still, since I didn’t hear anything, I guess it went well.
I didn’t meet the marquis alone, and of course there were other subjects nearby, so if there was a problem, I would have done something.
And there was no problem with the exercise time following the interview.
In fact, it was much better this time. When I exercise, I take off my corset and change my clothes.
It was painful to wash up after exercising and put on the corset again… Ugh.
After lunchtime, it is national administrative work time.
There was only one thing I could do in front of a mountain of documents filled with words I didn’t even know what they meant.
“Help me, Flora!”
“Ehehe. I can’t help it.”
There is no choice but to ask expert Flora for help!
I wonder if this is okay, but Flora looks happy, so I guess it’s okay. Flora seemed happy to be able to put the paperwork she had studied into practice to help her siblings.
I helped Flora by giving her a car and doing simple calculations.
A strange situation where a maid sits at the princess’s work desk and the princess does her maid’s work. It was fortunate that Flora was in the position of her exclusive maid. Because it’s not strange even if the two of us are alone in the room.
And time passes.
“Princess. The captain of the guard has arrived.”
“Good. “Let me in.”
It was time for a meeting with the guard captain.
After I gave permission, the maid opened the door.
As I expected, the guard captain appeared beyond the door.
“Captain of the Royal Guard, Asil. “It has arrived now.”
It was Asil.
“Okay. Let everyone go out except for the guard captain and the dedicated maid. “I want to talk quietly.”
“Well, princess, if something goes wrong…”
“Done. If you don’t trust the commander of the guard, who can you trust? It’s okay, everyone goes out.”
“Yes.”
The maids quietly left the room without saying anymore.
After confirming that there was no one else who could hear us, we spoke.
“Howdy. You know. How have you been?”
“Well, I only saw you for half a day. But Soira, aren’t you surprised?”
“I roughly expected it. And you weren’t surprised either.”
“That’s right, because today’s schedule said to meet with Princess Soira.”
Asil pulled out the chair and lowered his butt.
“Wow. It’s very soft. “Does the princess use such nice chairs?”
“What are you doing again? If you’re a princess, you see it every day.”
I pointed with my thumb at Flora, who was standing behind me.
“That and these are different. No, is it the same? Hmm, anyway, something is different.”
Asil tilted his head. It seemed like she couldn’t even express herself properly.
“But why is Flora still standing there? “Sit here.”
“No, it’s okay. “A maid doesn’t sit in the same seat as the owner.”
“… ? Soira. “Why is he like this?”
“It’s been a long time since I became a maid, so I want to try acting like a real maid.”
I answered, shrugging her shoulders.
To be honest, I didn’t understand either. There is no need to act as a maid when we are alone.
But, well, Flora said she wanted to do that. Since she wasn’t really a problem, I decided to let her do as she pleased.
Asil clapped his hands softly as if he had finally remembered it and said.
“Ah. That’s right. What’s going on now? Why am I suddenly the captain of the guard? Where is this again? “I remember we went into the dungeon, but what happened after that?”
“Calm down. I’ll answer everything. First, there are different types of dungeons…”
I explained to Asil about the experiential dungeon.
“Experiential type? There was something like that too. “It was the first time I knew about it.”
“Didn’t they teach you at the academy? Although it is not detailed, there is something like this. “I remember he taught me at least.”
“No, there were many times when I dozed off during theory classes… Hehe.”
Asil scratched the back of his head shyly. Then she suddenly remembered something and screamed.
“… Ah! Then what about time? “I have work to do over there too!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Time flows differently in an experiential dungeon than outside. There won’t be any problem. … Probably.”
“Maybe?!”
Asil looked very embarrassed.
But it will be perfect. Not sure though.
This is a game. There was a high possibility that such realistic and troublesome problems could be adjusted in a moderately expedient manner.
“Ego. Anyway, the fact that it has to be finished quickly remains the same, right? So, let’s think about it calmly. Flora. “Did you find out anything?”
Flora shook her head.
“No. Nothing new I found out… Even in the history of the Kingdom of Ranon, what about the last period? The princess probably plays an important role in the incident, but since the princess’s name is different, I don’t know exactly which incident it is.”
But. I also said on the document that the princess’s name had been changed to my name. Since the names were completely different, it was difficult to get a feel for it in just half a day.
“Hmm. It must be difficult to find out in just one day. “Then, shall we at least sort out the situation today?”
“I see. “I think it’s better than doing nothing.”
“Then start with me. Let’s see… My role is princess. Just a princess. It’s not like I’m good at swordsmanship or have a talent for magic or anything like that. Perhaps in the original history, people lived normally but were not used for political marriages? Ruler. Next is Flora.”
“I am the princess’s exclusive maid. My job is to wait on people on a daily basis, and I think I can also act as an escort to some extent when circumstances require it.”
Shush!
Flora punched the air. Even compared to Flora’s original body, which was at a fairly high level, her strength was not much inferior.
Of course, Flora’s original body was that of a typical wizard who never trained beyond her physical strength, but it’s still great that her only maid can be compared to that.
After me and Flora, Asil spoke.
“I am the captain of the Royal Guard. I’m still not sure what they do, but I think it’s not just about working as a Royal Guard. “I had a lot of appointments here and there.”
“Well, I guess so. “If you are the leader of an organization, political power is also essential.”
“Ugh. “My head hurts just listening to it.”
“Just pretend to do something. So, I think this is the amount of information that can be shared right now… Really. Flora and I stick together, but Asil stays separate. “How can you come see me on a regular basis?”
“Umm… I don’t think it’ll work. “I’ll try to find a way.”
This is the end of the first day’s information exchange. It seemed like everyone was still busy adjusting to their roles. Including me.
I also want to finish it quickly. I really hate wearing corsets.
———-
When Asil returned from her meeting with Soira, one of Asil’s subordinates spoke to her.
“Have you been there? “Captain!”
“Uh. Yes.”
Asil, who was still awkward about treating them as subordinates, unconsciously became blunt in his tone. Fortunately, no one cared.
“Please talk to me kindly about meeting the princess. Wouldn’t our children be energized if we were given a tight budget, bought new equipment, and ate delicious food? I still feel a little bad about being compared to the knights these days.”
“Is that what I want? I’ll talk about it. But what are the knights?”
“Yes? Didn’t you hear me say that I was happy that I made a big score during this expedition? “When you come back tomorrow, didn’t you complain that it was obvious that you would be very condescending?”
“Oh, right. That’s right. It did? “I forgot for a second.”
Asil looked around a bit and remembered the information about the Knights.
I think it will be important information. I had that intuition.
