Chapter 190 – 18. The Princess Is One, Two, Three, Uh… ?
The strongest nation on the continent, the imperial castle of the Glazer Empire.
A muscular man sits on the most luxurious chair.
43rd Emperor Adolf Glaser.
The old man with a pale face tightened his neck and opened his mouth.
“Yes. How do you feel, Helena?”
He seems to be trying to maintain his dignity, but only his weakness is evident.
But the emperor’s third daughter bowed her head to her father as if in submission to her authority and majesty.
“Tomorrow is already an engagement ceremony, hee hee.”
“I look forward to it very much, Your Majesty the Emperor.”
At the words of 3rd Princess Helena, the emperor smiled happily and said,
“Isn’t it close to being private right now? Feel free to call me Obama.”
“But how could His Majesty…”
“Uh huh. Hurry up.”
“Okay, Obama.”
“Heh heh, yes.”
The emperor’s daughter snorted inwardly.
That’s what she said, but she knows how much her father loves the words Emperor and Majesty.
In fact, even now, I’d rather be called “The Emperor” Than “Abama”.
However, he has an excellent political sense and is well aware of how helpful this simple title is to him. It’s not just Abamama to highlight the obedient relationship between a woman and a daughter to her subordinates.
‘Now I’ve been recognized as a candidate.’
Helena thought.
Those gathered here, with at least a little brain, would have noticed.
At this moment, the fact that the 3rd Princess Helena has definitely taken a step forward towards her throne.
More than anything else, the fact that the next emperor was a saint was a very attractive option for Emperor Glaser.
It’s the next kick anyway, Helena’s lineage will be chosen unconditionally, and looking at Han Siu’s recent moves, it doesn’t look like she will give birth to one or two children. I also really liked the way he reached out to high-ranking officials in each country.
‘To date, at least two countries. A few more might be added. If I do well, would you like a clan or something more?’
She feels sorry for her father, who must be dreaming of a grandiose resentment, but that won’t happen.
No, I’m not really sorry.
‘Whoops. Don’t know again The Continent will gather its strength around the hero Han Si-woo, not the emperor of the Glazer Empire.’
Will this wilting emperor survive until then?
When I see the emperor, it seems difficult, but when I see Siwoo, I think it might be possible.
If that happens, how will Obama and the emperor react?
‘Mmm. I’m very curious.’
The man who lives by authority and dies by authority is his father.
Even now, when she was very weak, she did not want to show her weak side to her children, so she called her daughter to the audience room. Even in the presence of dozens of aristocrats. All to emphasize their prestige.
‘I probably won’t see you in the bedroom unless you collapse.’
Actually, it is also a matter of time.
A balloon that has reached its limit by being filled with air.
That’s exactly how Emperor Glaser is now.
Even a small trigger will explode and you will lose your normal body.
‘Well, I won’t leave you alone until that happens.’
The emperor must not die or collapse for the time being.
If that happened while the succession was still uncertain, it would mean the division of the empire.
Well, it’s not like they’re being torn apart to various countries, but they’ll be scattered and fight for the throne by force, but even that alone is dangerous in many ways. The pride of the empire as the strongest country, as well as the southern front against the threat of demons.
‘Because I’m going to eat countless elixirs and healthy food every day, and I have many doctors and priests attached to me.’
Helena doesn’t know, but even in the first playthrough, the Emperor somehow manages to live up to the final war.
Until then, the succession was not clear, so even if he lived, he was not living, but he was close to a living corpse.
“It’s an engagement ceremony. Hmm, what a pity.”
“What do you mean?”
“A man and a woman of the same age are only engaged.”
Startle.
“When are you going to get married, daughter?”
“That, that’s…”
The emperor who was able to subdue Helena with a single word.
She broke into a cold sweat at the sight of the gaze from above.
It’s not that I’m old, but I can’t say that I’m young either.
The emperor’s firm will to get the two married quickly, no matter what happens, is clearly visible on the emperor’s face.
“You must marry him.”
“…All right.”
Helena, who was about to say she’d try as a courtesy, replied that she knew.
She also intends to marry Siu, but she doesn’t like her orders, which only exude political insight.
She corrected her words to fit the emperor though.
Haha, yes. This is very reassuring.”
Even after that, Helena had a conversation with the emperor.
It’s very irritating to have a conversation while courting someone’s mood, but I endured it anyway.
It is an opportunity that Siwoo Han created.
Your Majesty the Emperor.
Raising your anger against your father is a foolish option.
“Whoa.”
“You worked hard, Princess.”
“It’s hard work. How hard can it be to talk to Obama. Rather, it’s fun.”
Saying so, Helena made a motion to bring her index finger to her lips to the blind escort knight, Elin, who was comforting her. A board is a long finger that touches the lips.
The startled girl realized the meaning of the action and bowed her head deeply.
‘What an idiot. Ha, that was a mistake I don’t know if anyone around me will hear it…’
Instead of her eyes, she has other sensitive senses.
Someone may be looking for a chance to catch the pod.
It was a really stupid act to casually say such a thing when it was neither the 3rd princess’s palace nor the office.
“…Sorry.”
Upon returning to her room, Elin apologized.
“I’m sorry. It’s okay. It could be. Be careful in the future.”
“Yes, I will take heed.”
“Whoops. It definitely feels like I’m getting close to the throne.”
In fact, it was not Helena who came closer to the throne, but Han Si-woo, the prospective mother.
Externally, they are thoroughly advocating seohwang.
However, no matter what anyone says, she is the head of her 3 princesses faction, and it is she who challenges her throne.
“How are you feeling?”
Elin questions the princess, who is deeply buried in her soft chair.
Helena let out a pixie laugh.
“Are you asking too?”
“Yes? Ah. Did His Majesty ask?”
“Yeah. Well, it sounds like he said it out of courtesy.”
“Then I’m sure you didn’t answer honestly. How do you feel?”
“Feeling. Yeah, how to say. Actually, I don’t feel it. It’s just an engagement after all.”
Elin nodded her head as if he understood what she was saying.
“Since the announcement was made, we’ve acted like we’re actually engaged, right? Besides, getting engaged doesn’t mean anything changes. Even if it’s an official relationship, I guess we can only see each other once or twice a month. There’s nothing special about it, right? Siwoo. You’ll be leaving in a few days…”
“You’re nervous.”
“…What?”
“You talk a lot. I can see you are nervous.”
“…Really, you know me too well.”
Helena laughed and shook her head.
Elin said she was talkative, but she probably had several reasons why she was so sure.
The emperor, who was connected by blood, and the seasoned nobles who were with him in the audience room were fooled, but the escort knight right next to him was also fooled. But it just feels good. For Helena, Elin is such a relationship.
“He’s an escort guard serving Helena-sama, but…A childhood friend.”
“Whoops, I’m ashamed.”
“Yes. Oh, no.”
“Look at her blushing face. Our Elin is very shy.”
Helena giggled.
I know it’s not a mockery, but it’s embarrassing.
Elin hurriedly turned her head.
“By the way, Miss Helena!”
“Yes, tell me.”
“Have you prepared your present?”
Startle.
“…You were always by my side.”
“You’re still here.”
“Haa. I can’t think of any good presents. But Siu-sama wouldn’t want jewelry or accessories. To give you a sword, there’s an incomparable item called a holy sword. Alas, it’s too difficult!”
“Haha…”
Seeing Helena depressed with her head on her desk, Elin wondered what kind of gift Siu would have prepared.
When I called Elaine and Hildear for consultation, I was told that Siu had already prepared a gift for the engagement ceremony. That too a few weeks ago. It’s fast enough to make you wonder if they prepared it before the engagement date even came out.
‘What the hell is it?’
“Ugh, strangely, only one gift candidate lingers in my head.”
“Is it one? Then, if you give it as a gift…”
“You.”
“…?”
“That gift is you.”
“…I will politely decline.”
“Why? I think I’ll be fine.”
“I-I’m Helena-sama’s escort knight…”
“No, I will give you the female Elin instead of the escort knight Elin.”
“…”
“If that’s enough, wouldn’t Siwoo-nim really like it?”
“Please don’t joke like that…”
“Isn’t that a joke?”
“…Yes?”
“Well, I’m not joking, but I don’t intend to gift you, so don’t worry. It’s not a bad boss, you have to be with someone you love. Wouldn’t that make you happy? Even if it’s a woman’s chastity, the only opponents who can be eaten are male warriors. No, do Elbazon exist?”
Helena spat out the words that came to her mind just as she was in her stream of consciousness.
Elin looked at her quietly and then opened her mouth calmly.
“Then do you think Helena-sama will be happy?”
“…”
Helena didn’t answer.
She didn’t answer at all, as if she didn’t hear her at all.
However, the slight heat on the master’s face was enough for her answer.
“I’m so glad you did.”
“…Shut up.”
In the amicable atmosphere of the princess and the escort knight, a knock was heard along with a voice.
“May I come in, sister?”
It was the 8th Princess, Leslie Glazer.
“Yes, come in.”
Helena quickly brought in her sister to make up for her embarrassment, but she was self-inflicted.
“Sister? Why is your face red?”
“Uh, huh?”
“Whoops.”
“Eww. What’s more than that?”
“Ah, it’s not like I’m on a business… I’m here to play.”
“Huh? Yeah? Hehe, are you nervous too?”
“…Yes.”
“…?”
Helena tilted her head at the sight of her sullen little sister, who for some reason blushed.
It’s kind of a weird feeling. It’s suspicious to quietly agree to what he said as if it were a joke.
Yes, it is her sister’s engagement, but is there any reason to be particularly nervous?
For a moment, she felt a chill run down her spine.
‘No way… ?’
But she shook her head and dismissed her thoughts, dismissing them as nonsense.
Even if Leslie likes Siu, she gets engaged, so it doesn’t make sense to be happy about it. She rather hates it, and it’s normal to stare at herself. Helena couldn’t believe that her twin sister had crazy tastes.
“Mmm, uh, yes. Leslie, you’re happy too… I’m glad.”
“Yes♡”
“…”
Is it an illusion that the heart is attached to the end of her sister’s words?
Helena suddenly thought.
Her own fiancée, Han Xiu.
Is there really no one in the imperial family who is aiming for him?
She was the 3rd princess who started to get anxious.
