Chapter 409 – Side Story – Continued (12)
—————
While Soira was having a nice meal with the King and Vomeros, Flora was doing her own thing.
“The dress is here… The jewel is here. “Were the gloves here?”
It was about organizing the princess’s room.
Because it was the most private space, Flora had to do it alone without any help from other maids.
“The cleanup is all done… So now…”
Flora picked up the duster that had been left in a corner.
Tap, tap.
Shake off the dust that has accumulated in high places and wipe the dust that has fallen below.
It will be clean with just one clean spell, but then the head maid will nag you again.
They say that you shouldn’t use life magic for cleaning.
The reason is simple. This is because they are royal family, the noble of nobles.
Since ancient times, nobles have lived differently from commoners and have drawn the line that they are different from the lower class.
A good example is unnecessarily complicated dining etiquette.
And so it was in this case.
Cleaning in an instant with life magic is something only commoners who don’t have time to spotless would do, so as a precious body, you should show a different composure than them.
It couldn’t be anything other than a really stupid comment, as the subject of the act of cleaning had been turned over.
Fortunately, nobles aren’t all that stupid, so these meaningless noble etiquettes disappeared decades before Flora was born.
But what kind of place is this?
It was decades or even hundreds of years before Flora was born.
Thanks to this, Flora was forced to spotless the princess’s spacious room by herself.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I just use a little bit so as not to get caught…?” ?”
Tired of having to spend hours doing a task that would have taken her just a second, Flora gradually began to turn to her tricks.
– Knock.
At that time, someone knocked on the door.
Could it be that they got caught trying to clean it with magic? But you haven’t even written it yet?
Flora approached her door with her heart pounding inside.
“The princess is not here. “Who are you?”
“The princess’s purchase has arrived!”
When Flora opened her door, there were two maids she had encountered several times while walking around the castle.
One was pulling a cart with a large box on it, and the other was holding documents.
The maid holding the document read the contents of her document to Flora.
“This box is from ○○ Store. This box is from XX Sanghoe. And this box…”
Tap, tap.
Each time the name of the merchant appeared, a box came down from the cart.
Flora thought as she looked at the boxes piling up.
‘I guess I have to organize everything in here by myself, right?’
And when the height of the stacked boxes exceeded Flora’s height, she decided to use her magic.
I might get scolded if I get caught, but it’s better to get nagged a little than to do all that by hand.
◆
“Zero… Tea.”
Open the box, check the items, and place them where they belong.
After repeating this action dozens of times, I managed to sort out about half of it.
But the problem started now.
“This… What is it?”
Flora tilted her head when she saw the items that came out of the box.
An object that looked like a cubic cube had a meaningful, unidentifiable pattern drawn on it.
At first glance, it looked like a magic tool with some hidden effect… From Flora’s perspective, there was no sense of any magical element.
Is it a magic tool that is secret enough to fool the eyes of Flora, a high-ranking mage who can use advanced magic?
Well, it was much more likely that the princess had been tricked into buying something strange.
The other items the princess bought were almost similar.
Things that look like something precious or amazing, but when you look at them, they are just ordinary and with a flashy packaging.
The princess had a miserable eye for seeing things.
“But this is okay.”
Flora mumbled and placed her cubes in an appropriate place on the display case.
I bought all kinds of useless things, but looking at the documents that came with it, the amount I spent wasn’t that big.
It is better to spend hundreds of gold on useless junk than tens of thousands of gold on genuine jewelry.
That was the mindset of Flora, who grew up in the Kingdom of Vale, the front line of the war against the Demon King’s army.
Tuk.
“Oh.”
The back of Flora’s hand, which was organizing all the miscellaneous things that were coming out in a row, just enough to keep them from getting wrinkled, touched somewhere.
Rolling around… Tuk.
It was a round crystal ball that rolled and fell from the display case due to the impact.
Fortunately, thanks to the soft carpet spread throughout the room, the crystal ball was intact without any cracks even though it had fallen from quite a height.
“What? This…”
Flora was spinning the crystal ball around to see if it had broken somewhere and discovered something strange.
This crystal ball was also in the display case, so I thought it was just a decoration like the other miscellaneous items in the display case… When I looked closely, I saw that it was real. A real magic tool.
What kind of magic tool is it?
It was simple curiosity. While I was in the middle of cleaning, I was bothered by the boxes that had arrived, so I wanted to rest for a bit.
Without thinking about it, Flora channeled his magic power to activate the magic tool…
The expression hardened.
What was reflected in the crystal ball was a purple-haired woman pacing around the room in thin clothing. The crystal ball was a magic tool that recorded video.
“Soira? … No, it’s different.”
The woman in the video clearly had the same appearance as Soira.
But Flora quickly realized that the woman was not Soira.
Posture, attitude, behavior… When all these various things were considered, it was decidedly because the atmosphere was completely different.
Looks the same as Soira, but is a different person. Flora realized that the woman pictured in the crystal ball was a real princess.
As Soira became a princess, not only the princess’s name written on all documents but even the portrait on the wall changed to Soira’s. So the image recorded on the crystal ball also changed.
Flora continued to watch the recorded video.
The princess pictured in the crystal ball would walk around the room, pick up miscellaneous items, look at them carefully, and then return them to their original places.
Then, I suddenly looked around and took out a masturbation tool hidden among the miscellaneous things.
Then he lies down on her bed, takes off her thin clothes, becomes naked, spreads her legs…
For a while, the princess’s shy appearance was clearly reflected in the video.
When Flora saw that, she was convinced that this was not Soira.
When Soira wants to, she secretly attracts a man and hits her when he wants to, so she doesn’t end up messing around with her.
Flora had a strange confidence about Soira’s sex life.
After that, the video of the crystal ball continued until the magic stored in the crystal ball ran out.
Flora was lost in her thoughts, looking at the crystal ball that had become transparent again after its magic power had run out.
Who brought this crystal ball into the room?
The crystal ball was hidden in the corner of the display case. Flora, who cleaned the room, was so clever that she wouldn’t have noticed if she hadn’t accidentally hit the back of her hand while organizing the clutter.
If you look at what was hidden, it probably wasn’t the princess herself.
Then who?
There were so many places to point out that I had no idea. Since it was a recording crystal ball that contained all the princess’s private life, there were plenty of places to use it.
After thinking deeply for a while, Flora eventually gave up on his idea and placed the crystal ball back where it was.
There was no magic tool that could transmit recorded video to another place even in Flora’s time. Surely someone would come back to retrieve the crystal ball. I was planning to aim for that time.
I wanted to cast a tracking spell, but unfortunately, this exclusive maid’s stats were not enough.
Flora put her thoughts about her crystal ball aside for now and went back to what she was doing.
Clues to the crystal ball appeared in an unexpected place.
“You. “You’re the princess’s exclusive maid, right?”
“Yes? Yes. By the way.”
A maid spoke to Flora, who was on her way to her next schedule. As Flora remembered, she was the maid of the prince, the princess’s older brother.
“The prince said he would see me. “Go to the prince’s room.”
“Yes? “Me?”
“Okay. “You.”
The maid only said those words and went on her way.
What is happening?
Flora tilted her head and walked towards the prince’s room.
◆
“You’re finally here.”
Upon arrival, the prince immediately brought Flora into her room.
The guards guarding her door also let Flora in as if it was natural.
There was no minimum physical examination. Rather than ignoring her because she was a maid, I felt like I was used to it and overlooked it.
This means that before Flora was possessed, her ‘exclusive maid’ often visited the prince’s room.
When the prince was alone in the room with Flora, he immediately hugged her.
“Eh?”
It was Flora who was startled and made a stupid sound.
The prince paid no heed to Flora’s reaction and just kept his mouth close.
“… !”
Understand!
Just before her lips touched, Flora pushed the prince’s chest.
And then she immediately missed it.
I’m not sure what the situation was, but there must have been a good reason for the prince to make such a deliberate attempt to smack his lips.
For example, the ‘exclusive maid’ and the prince actually had a good relationship from long ago.
And as expected, the prince, who had been pushed around by a maid and the like, did not get angry. Even though it was an incident where he touched the body of a royal family, his killing power was not at all.
Rather, he nodded slightly as if he understood.
“Right…”
But what followed was something beyond Flora’s understanding.
“She says the play begins when she enters the room. “Master!”
The prince suddenly took off his clothes and fell flat in front of Flora, dressed in shabby underwear.
“… Heh?”
Only Flora’s devastated voice remained, unable to understand the situation at all.
