Chapter 403 – Side Story – Continued (6)
Objectively speaking, Vomeros looked like he would be quite popular.
A strong, muscular body. A face that falls somewhere between fierce and fearsome.
It looks like women who like bad guys will be thrilled.
However, even such women will hesitate and then run away when they stand in front of Vomeros.
Because Vomeros’ eyes were so intense.
According to the rumor Asil heard, Vomeros… So he said he likes the princess?
No, I don’t know who spread the rumor, but it was clear that either his head or his eyes were seriously hurt.
That’s not a loving gaze.
The gaze of a hunter looking at his prey even if he hits it hard. More precisely, it was similar to a cat looking at a mouse.
I feel like it could be eaten, but it would also be fun to play with.
Vomeros’ eyes scanned my body. It was as if the gaze was licking from head to toe.
A chill ran down my spine.
It was so intense that even I, who had received all kinds of lustful gazes while playing this game, felt the same way.
I’m like this too, but what on earth did the woman who was originally a princess feel?
The fact that she was able to endure that and proceed with the beauty world gave me some respect.
“Ah. There was also a guard captain you might know. “I’m sorry, but I have something to talk with the princess, so could you please leave for a moment?”
“Yes, yes…” .”
Vomeros saw Asil who was with me and told him to leave.
The tone may seem polite, but considering the complexities of royal etiquette, it was no different from just telling them to fuck off.
Asil also has quite a bit of time for fantasy. His eyebrows twitched as if he was roughly understanding the nuance, but he calmly walked away.
This is because it was agreed upon in advance, ‘Let’s create a situation so that me and Vomeros can be together.’
And as a bonus, there was a relationship between the Royal Guard and the Black Dragon Knights.
The status of the three knights in the capital is equal. No, it can be said that the status of the royal guard who is close to the royal family in the castle is slightly higher.
However, if you ask about the actual power balance, the Royal Guard and the White Dragon Knights are similar, and the Black Dragon Knights are above both.
The reason is simple. Because there is power.
So, everyone is glancing in this direction but not thinking about talking properly.
“Princess, shall we go this way?”
Vomeros put his hand on my shoulder without hesitation and headed toward the corner of the banquet hall.
It might have been different if it had been Soira’s body, but now that it had the same stats as that of an unknown princess, it had no choice but to follow Vomeros’ lead.
Of course, no matter how much he is a knight commander, there is no way that an outsider man would dare to touch the body of a royal woman.
But in reality it is allowed. The surroundings were just a little noisy. No one came forward and scolded the rudeness.
It almost feels like Vomeros is a king.
Even if you decide to stage a coup tomorrow and become king, ‘Ah. I felt like saying, ‘It has to be today.’
Knowing that, the king is also trying to enter the world of beauty by putting up a princess.
It roughly means, ‘I will make you a royal, so please be quiet.’
Vomeros spoke to me in a corner of the banquet hall.
“So do you know what I did then? I hit that barbarian guy’s head with this fist…”
“… Hehe. “It’s an interesting story.”
If it were natural, it would be natural. Vomeros’ speaking skills were the worst.
How could a story about a battle involving blood and flesh be fun for a princess who grew up in a royal castle? No, let alone the topic, I just didn’t have the skill to speak.
I’ll talk, so you listen. That feeling.
However, he did not lower the hand that was placed on his shoulder, but rather gently touched it to feel the texture of his skin.
Wow. I feel bad.
The dark malice was clearly visible in Vomeros’ touch.
It wasn’t a touch that I touched because I wanted to feel the texture of the woman’s body.
“Haha…”
Vomeros stared at my face.
The intention was obvious. It was to enjoy my reaction.
It was a low-level sense of superiority that was displayed because he was confident that even if he behaved so recklessly, I could not stop or avoid it.
It would have been cleaner if it had simply been driven by sexual desire. I suppressed the rising sigh and swallowed it.
Vomeros tried to interfere with my every move.
“Princess. How about this? “This will be more delicious than that.”
“… Thank you.”
He even complained about every single piece of food I picked up.
“Hello. I am…”
“I’m sorry. Because the princess is talking to me right now. But will you come next time?”
“…”
He even chased away a courageous nobleman who tried to stamp his face on the princess. Even though I didn’t say anything.
If you try to go somewhere, they block your path, and if you try to talk to someone, they kick you out. However, talking to Vomeros was no fun at all, so there was nothing to do but eat and drink naturally.
Still, the food served was delicious. Personally, I prefer it to be a little stronger, but this wasn’t too bad.
“Hmm.”
Vomeros looked at me absorbed in the food and made a low sound.
Vomeros took the wine glass from my hand and drank it himself.
Ah. It’s mine.
“It’s not a bad drink. But it doesn’t seem suitable for a princess. Hey!”
Vomeros made a loud noise and called to his men.
Vomeros’ voice was loud enough to be heard throughout the banquet hall. Several nobles who were enjoying the banquet looked in surprise, but when Vomeros glared at them, they quickly returned their gaze.
This is also rude… No, it’s done. Now, it’s too bothersome to ask questions one by one.
The subordinate called by Vomeros quickly came running.
“Did you call me? “Captain!”
“Okay. Bring that.”
“That… Ah. That’s what you mean. “I’ll get it right away!”
The subordinate immediately ran somewhere.
That’s it. What is that?
“You seem curious.”
“… Yes. “I wonder why they even ordered their subordinates to bring it.”
“Haha. You can look forward to it. “It’s one of the few things I like that I got from this expedition.”
Vomeros’ men returned in an instant.
I ran so fast that I was sweating profusely.
“I brought it!”
“Okay. “Go.”
Vomeros chased away his sweaty subordinate with a single wave of his hand and showed me the item.
“Is it alcohol?”
“I tried it, and it tasted pretty good. I’m sure the princess will like it too.”
Bong!
The cork was pulled out with a strangely cute sound.
Then, the smell of alcohol rose up in an instant, stinging my nose.
Ugh. How toxic is it? Just the smell made me feel drunk.
Vomeros poured the drink into a wine glass and held it out. The alcohol that spilled out of the glass stained the tablecloth.
“Ruler. Let’s try it.”
“Yeah…”
She took it without hesitation, but couldn’t bring herself to drink it.
When the alcohol that flowed down the glass touched my hand, I felt the unique unpleasant sensation of disinfectant.
If you light this on fire, won’t it burn?
“Come on, eat it. I’m sure you’ll like it. Obviously.”
Vomeros’ eyes were secretly smiling as he urged that.
‘What if you don’t want to drink? What can you do?’
It seemed like that was the sound. No, it may not be that frivolous, but the intention in that gaze was not much different.
Ah. I really hate it.
I closed my eyes and tilted my glass.
“… !!!”
My throat feels like it’s burning. It felt so hot that I could tell where the esophagus ended and where the stomach began.
It was almost a miracle that I was able to stop spewing it out.
I could barely hold back the feeling of my stomach turning, but this time my vision started to blur.
Is it poison?
No, even the youngest Vomeros would not try to poison her in front of everyone.
I thought it would be better to just chop up all the tails I had seen so far, and there seemed no need to do something troublesome like poisoning them.
My vision, which had been gradually blurring, stopped at a certain level. And in the dizzying field of vision, a status window appeared that was particularly clear.
– The status abnormality ‘Intoxication’ is activated. Some control of the body is lost.
Control?
What is that?
I was able to get answers to my questions quickly.
“… Yes. “It’s a good drink.”
The mouth moved freely and spit out a voice.
It wasn’t just his mouth that moved. My legs, which were fine, suddenly swayed, and my body fell forward.
Whisk.
The body that was about to fall landed wonderfully in Vomeros’ arms. My chest hurt slightly as it hit the hard, muscular body.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Vomeros pretended to support me and subtly rubbed my chest with his forearm.
I was in a situation where I had nothing to say even if I slapped my face on the spot, but my body continued to be hugged without trying to move.
I could tell because I hadn’t completely lost control of my body. It wasn’t that he couldn’t move, it was that he didn’t want to move.
Even if he was drunk, he wouldn’t have been swayed like this, but the way he pretended to be drunk and clung to him seemed like he was trying to seduce him into the world of beauty…
Huh? Beauty world?
Wait for a sec. Then this is it.
The character’s body was drunk, and I was not drunk, so my mind was clear.
After thinking about it for a bit, I understood the current situation.
This would be the action the ‘original princess’ would have taken in this situation. Probably.
So, if we leave it like this, won’t the ‘incident’ that was the original problem proceed automatically?
With that thought in mind, I stayed still.
“Wow, you look like you’re very drunk. “Should I at least get some air for a moment?”
And Vomeros took me to the balcony.
