Chapter 407 – Side Story – Continued (10)
Let Vomeros do as he pleases.
That was the method we chose.
There was no guarantee that this was a 100% sure method, but so what? It’s okay, I won’t die.
But… I forgot for a moment.
That sometimes there are things more painful than death.
In return for my hasty choice, I had to suffer extreme pain.
Okay. That pain…
“Ego. One, two, three!”
“Kuuuuu… !”
It was a corset… !
Because I had to go about my daily life until Vomeros did something.
And of course, the princess’s daily clothes were costumes that more faithfully reflected the past era than in medieval fantasy.
“Huh. I think I just need to tighten it one more time. One two…”
“Now, wait a minute. Flora. After resting for a bit…”
“… Three!”
“Keuuuuu… !”
The pain that comes upon you.
I felt like I could hear my ribs creaking.
If I were to talk about this pain, I think I could say about 500 characters, including spaces, but I described it in detail last time, so let’s skip it.
After a time like this when I could have opened my eyes to a new idea.
“Isn’t there a lot today?”
Flora was busy bringing this dress and that dress and putting them on my body.
It was extremely busy yesterday, but today it was even worse than yesterday.
Worst of all, Flora couldn’t handle it on her own, so she even brought in the castle’s maid to do the work.
“We also have our own work to do…”
“But somehow I don’t feel bad. How can I say it, it feels very natural?”
“Right? “I feel like I’m following orders from someone higher up.”
“But if you’re the princess’s exclusive maid, you’re higher than I.”
“Oh, indeed. “You know that’s not what it’s about.”
The maids who had been summoned by Flora tilted their heads while chatting among themselves in low voices.
Is this the princess’s charisma?
Not sure if I could hear the maids’ conversation or not, Flora told me why she was busy today.
Since other people were listening, the tone of voice was polite, like that of a dedicated maid.
“I have a meeting with His Majesty the King today.”
“That man… “No, with your father?”
“Yes. We plan to have lunch together after the interview.”
“Ugh.”
A strange sound suddenly came out.
For a moment, I wondered if the other maids had heard me, but fortunately, they didn’t seem to notice that I had made the sound.
‘No way the princess could have said something like that. With a feeling like, ‘I must have heard wrong.’
Sorry. That’s exactly what I said.
No, but listen.
Even though he is the king, he is really a father to the princess, and to me, he is just an uncle.
Talking to a man I don’t know and being treated like a daughter… I feel extremely strange.
The type of activity where you get paid to do this and that just came to mind.
If I hadn’t known, I would have acted without even thinking about it. At times like this, I feel resentful of my extensive knowledge in this field.
After enduring the mixed feelings and finishing dressing up, the maids returned to their original work.
Flora and I also had to move to fulfill today’s schedule.
Before leaving the room, something suddenly occurred to me and I asked.
“By the way, Flora. Isn’t the power of tightening a corset a joke? “Aren’t your physical abilities the same as those of a maid?”
“Lol. Am I strong? I don’t think the job of a maid is easy. He had some muscles.”
Zero difference! Flora bends her arms and shows off her biceps while making a cute sound.
However, her forearms were just as soft and soft as usual, and there was no sign of any solid muscles.
Well, it’s funny to think that muscles = strength in the gaming world.
Originally, my body only had healthy muscles on the outside, but my strength stats were no different from those of most adult men. If you use magical power, well, it goes without saying.
Still, it felt good to be soft, so I kept nibbling.
“Ahaha! “It tickles.”
Until Flora, unable to bear the tickling, lowered his arm.
◆
The king’s office.
Still, it’s family. The atmosphere of meeting the king was not bad.
“How is your plan going?”
“Plan… Are you talking about ‘that’?”
“Then is there anything else besides that?”
… That doesn’t mean it’s bad, it doesn’t mean it’s good.
Okay. Surprisingly, that sarcastic tone does not mean that it is a bad mood.
This is because the king himself was not a very good person to begin with.
He was so incompetent that he failed in politics and allowed the power of the capital to be concentrated on Vomeros and the Black Dragon Knights, and as a way to somehow cover up his incompetence, he was so incompetent that he ordered his daughter to become a beauty queen.
Still, if it goes as Flora expected, she cares enough for her daughter to attack Vomeros if he is forcibly attacked by Vomeros… That’s just an expectation.
“… It’s going smoothly.”
“Okay? I heard about yesterday. “I went out to the balcony with him during the banquet.”
“Yes.”
The king’s gaze scanned my body.
It wasn’t a sticky gaze filled with sexual desire, but it was a look that was just as unpleasant, just different in kind.
“Hmm. Surely we haven’t already hit the boat? “Jim didn’t raise you to be such a light-hearted woman.”
“What are you saying… !”
After hearing the next words, I almost forgot to act like a princess and raised my voice.
Is this what you want to say to your daughter?
No, it wasn’t a daughter. Even if the other person was a prostitute, it was something you wouldn’t say if you knew etiquette.
A guy like this is the king of a country.
Whatever the reason for the fall of this country, I could only assume that it was a natural death.
“If not, that’s okay. Remember to save your most valuable items until you can sell them for the highest price. “I’ll call you again in a moment, so please wait.”
The king, not noticing my reaction, waved his hand and issued an order to congratulate the guests.
A valuable object.
There was a lot I wanted to say, but I left the office without saying anything.
How on earth can a country be maintained with a guy like that as its king?
Ah. It couldn’t be maintained. It was a ruined country.
I hope I have time to punch him in the face before the dungeon ends.
But with this princess’s body, I don’t think it would hurt that much if I hit her.
Etc. I spent time in a waiting room or something like that, thinking nonsense thoughts.
…
However, the ‘temporary’ the king said was a little different from what I thought.
Unlike the story where it seemed like they would call me again after just a few minutes, no one came to call me even after dozens of minutes.
Out of boredom, I forgot that I had to act like a princess and was dozing off in a chair.
– Knock.
I suddenly woke up to the sound of a knock.
Did you drool? Are your clothes okay? He quickly checked his appearance and spoke.
“Come in.”
The door opened quietly without making a sound, and a maid from Wangseong came in.
“His Majesty the King is calling.”
“Good. Guide me.”
“Would you like me to organize your clothes?”
“No. “I don’t need it.”
Usually, when meeting someone like the king, even if you are well-dressed, it may be polite to get cleaned up at least once before leaving.
But I didn’t want to be that polite to the king.
And this is something I thought about while half asleep.
Aren’t I the best in this situation?
It wouldn’t be strange if Vomeros rebelled, but the princess was holding him down with her body.
What if the King gets a little upset? Kick out the princess? So it’s a direct route to rebellion?
I decided that it was okay to go a little harder.
So, don’t pay attention to small courtesy.
In response to my firm answer, the maid did not say anything more and just guided me quietly.
Following the maid’s guidance, we arrived at a restaurant.
The king and Vomeros sat first at the large table.
The two, who were conversing about something, turned their attention to me when I arrived.
The king smiled brightly and said, uncharacteristically.
“Oh. “Our beloved princess has arrived!”
“… ?”
What does this king say?
“You don’t know how fortunate I am that my beloved daughter and you, the pillar of our country, have a close relationship. Please take good care of my daughter.”
“Haha. “As the leader of the Black Dragon Knights who is loyal to the country and the royal family, how could I treat the princess carelessly?”
I was able to roughly understand the situation through the conversation between the king and Vomeros.
A conversation filled with lies on both sides.
The king lied as if I was a family member he cherished to raise my value, and Vomeros lied to emphasize that he was a trustworthy business partner.
Either way, the similarity is that they view the princess as nothing more than an object of transaction.
I pity the princess who must have experienced this situation in real history. Of course, this world was created when I started, so history is just a setting of ‘this happened.’
The maid who came with us pulled out the chair next to Vomeros.
When I sat down on the chair, the king sent everyone else out.
“Everyone goes out. “I want to spend meal time alone with my family.”
It was probably a deception that everyone here could tell. Still, the king is the king. Following the order, everyone except the King’s bodyguard left the restaurant.
“Your Majesty the King. Would it be okay for me to be there with the family?”
“Haha. Why do you say that? “It’s natural that we will become one family soon.”
“…”
They are playing.
I didn’t want to say anything, so I just glared at the dish in front of me.
Is it to treat Vomeros, or is it because the king was originally debauched? All of the many dishes on the table looked delicious.
The conversation between the two of us, excluding me, had matured, and the meal was about to begin.
“… !”
Under the dining table, Vomeros’ hand came up to my thigh.
