Chapter 269 – Side Story 8: The Archduke’s National Gourmet Trip (4) – Samantha in the Ale Region
“Don’t you want to follow me as a squire?”
“Are you quitting your job as a coachman?”
“Just follow me around and have sex. “I will take care of all the food and lodging.”
A female mercenary named Rita seemed to really like Naru.
But Naru smiled and declined.
“Thank you for the offer, but I like being a coachman.”
“It’s a shame.”
She arrived in the city where the lord’s castle was located and parted ways with her.
After Naru was alone again, she changed her clothes and visited the lord’s castle.
“Who are you?”
“This is Grand Duke Kang Na-ru, who came out to inspect the region.”
“Huh?! “The Grand Duke?”
When shown the royal family’s emblem, the lord did not particularly suspect Naru.
She was a person with a docile personality.
From then on, she spent three days at the lord’s castle, receiving generous hospitality.
“Grandee! “You’re safe!”
“Are you guys doing well too?”
The main body of the patrol soon joined, and Naru shared drinks with the lord and her vassals and went hunting together, resolving small conflicts between the royal family and the lord, negotiating, and building friendships.
Finally, she took a new oath of loyalty from her lord and renewed her previous oath.
After that.
He left the main body procession there and left the Lagran region first.
As before, he dragged the wagon and leisurely headed to the next area.
***
Ale region.
Naru arrived at a village called Teton two days before the local lord’s castle.
She arrived around evening and took lodgings at the only inn in town.
Luckily, the village was holding a festival at the right time.
She couldn’t just stay in her room at the inn, so she went out in light clothes.
“Nanana, lala~♪”
A woman was dancing in the center of the square.
Everyone around her is mesmerized.
Naru also watched her dance, face, and song as if fascinated.
‘It’s beautiful.’
The image of the dancer reflected in the wood fire was quite beautiful.
She danced, showing off her young and fresh female body, and sang a beautiful ballad with a voice like a clear stream.
It was even more fascinating when I watched it while drinking.
From the looks of it, she looks just like a local woman.
It looked just like Naru had heard about.
A characteristic feature of local women is that their lips are particularly red.
Since this is a region that produces a lot of cherries, there is a myth that women here often eat cherries and have red lips.
Also, the women have the characteristic of being good at sewing and wearing pretty and stylish clothes.
The clothes of the dancer dancing before my eyes were also quite beautiful.
It would be no exaggeration to say that it was made by a famous tailor in the royal capital.
Appropriate exposure.
Wearing clothes that stick to the skin and reveal the body.
It’s like an angel that came down from heaven.
And I also heard that the women in this region have a lot of charm.
Is that why?
Among the famous prostitutes in the capital, there are many from the Ale region.
It was so famous that even Naru, who had never been to her brothel, could immediately recite the names of about five people.
‘But that woman… It seems like you keep looking at me while dancing… ‘
We made eye contact with each other several times.
‘What is it?’
Is she also conscious of herself?
At some point, he even smiles and looks at me.
It’s impossible not to know now.
She was clearly expressing unspoken interest in herself.
‘Did I recognize a handsome person?’
Naru’s heart was pounding inside her.
