Chapter 139 – The Princess Who Wants a Friend (2)
Thanks to Venelia’s guidance, Theorard was able to safely arrive at the ‘old moon that grows naturally’.
Old Moon, which grows wild, was a complex shopping mall with a total of three floors, and each floor was not large enough, and there were so many items on display that I was impressed as soon as I entered.
Surprisingly, the store employees were the same. It was only natural that there would be an uproar when the princess barged into the store out of nowhere.
So, while some employees were in charge of Benelia, other employees hurriedly ran somewhere and called the manager of the store.
“Your Highness the Princess! Why is it in such a shabby place…….”
“We will take responsibility and assist Her Highness her!”
Benellia, who is used to being treated well, did n’t change much in her expression of her, but Theorard, who was very uncomfortable with the fuss of her staff of her, could n’t hide her discomfort of her.
Fortunately, the behavior of employees following around like attendants did not last long.
It was because Benelia, who took a close look at the staff flocking to her one by one, ordered everyone to get out of her sight her.
Thanks to that, when I went up to the third floor of the mall, there was no staff following me, so it was quiet.
People who were shopping on the third floor recognized her as the princess and whispered about her, but Benelia paid no attention. She only pointed to one side of the store with her bored eyes.
“There are the trinkets you are looking for over there. The management is a bit sloppy, but you will like it because it is a high quality product without any flaws.”
“Thank you for your words. Then Her Highness her, the princess, went to take care of her business her…….”
“Because I just had nothing to see. Since there is nothing to do, I will personally help you choose a present.”
The princess’s good intentions she approached me burdensomely. She said more than that, she came because she had something to do on the last moon of her own life. It does not make sense that she lost her goal her upon arrival.
Should I ask or not? Theorard, who was confused inwardly, finally couldn’t hold back his curiosity and opened his mouth.
“Majesty. Are you saying that there is nothing to see?”
“I thought maybe some of the staff here might be the crap I’m looking for,” She says. But when I looked around, they were unrelated. It was a mistake.”
I was just asking Theorard looked apologetic, but Venelia didn’t care. No, she didn’t have to care. Because she wasn’t Theo Rad’s fault in the first place.
“Okay, straighten her expression. Yes, let her choose a present for her fiancée her.”
“…… Are you familiar with her jewelry?”
“Anyway, I was born and raised in the imperial palace. I didn’t have much, but I did see a lot, so I must be more aesthetically talented than you.”
As she listened, she said nothing wrong. Theo Rad nodded in agreement, and Benelia patted Theo Rad on the shoulder and headed for the trinket cabinet.
Following Venelia, Theorard was able to see numerous ornaments placed on the cabinet.
The ornaments placed on the red silk had a beautiful appearance. Among them, the most distinctive ornaments were those made in the shape of constellations.
But I’m not sure what to buy. Theorard was troubled, she said Benelia in passing.
“Buy a necklace.”
A necklace Theo Rad asked, stroking his chin.
“Is there any particular reason?”
“A necklace gift universally has the meaning of ‘I want to become one with you. Giving a necklace to your fiancée, who may still be virgin, is like asking for her hand her in marriage …… ?”
Benelia stopped talking and tilted her head at her wonder. It was because Theo Rad was restless with his mouth shut.
It was a mistake made by the obsession to keep quiet about the fact that he had a relationship with Esili. I didn’t even realize that it was a mistake.
“Hmm…….”
One of Benelia’s eyebrows her raised playfully. Because she seemed to be able to get to the bottom of her mind with a little more induction interrogation.
I had no intention of digging into it that intensely. Because she had no interest in bullying others.
Benelia continued, killing her curiosity about what happened between them.
“Diamonds are the perfect choice for a necklace’s main birthstone. It means pure love that never changes. A garnet or ruby would be fine as a birthstone to decorate the surroundings. They have similar meanings, and when placed together with diamonds, they can give a harmonious and beautiful feeling.”
Theorard nodded and stared at the cabinet. It was to the point of feeling insignificant in her deliberately not looking back at Benelia for fear of making a mistake in her words.
‘There is no such thing as falsehood. Is this guy really a black man trying to rule the world?’
Doubt permeates the original reasoning.
‘Or is this just an act to deceive me?’
She has perfected artificial rain magic, knows how to properly read her situation her, and a guy who sees into other people’s lungs is at a loss when it comes to dating, so the sense of estrangement was no joke.
He was still an unknown man, but there was nothing wrong with keeping him close. Even when he dared to be a guide and pick out gifts for his fiancée his, he was only trying to get Theorard into debt.
If he collects small debts, he will be able to get at least one help. Even if he did not receive help, he would not become Theorard’s enemy, so there was no loss.
“…… What do your earrings look like?”
Theorard’s words break my thoughts.
After thinking for a moment, Benelia shook her head.
“The necklace is appropriate. Your fiancée has big breasts that are nice to look at. Everyone you meet will cast their eyes on your fiancée’s chest, and each time they will see the necklace you gifted them. It’s like revealing that there is an owner, so both you and your fiancée will be happy.”
“Indeed…….”
It made sense. As Theorard nodded her head and was contemplating which necklace to buy, Benelia, intrigued, looked around her intestines her, rolling her dull eyes.
‘Yes?’
At that time, my eyes were fixed on the staff organizing the books in the corner of the store. To be precise, the attention was focused on the ring the employee was wearing.
‘That…….’
It had the same shape as the ring that Venelia was chasing after. Here, she was selling a ring in the old moon where she grew up, so what she wanted to hear came as an answer.
It was not possible to identify the culprit because the ring worn by one was the same. To be more certain, Benelia shouted loudly at her staff her.
“Hey!”
A staff member who was sorting out her books looks back at Benelia. At that, Benelia nodded her head.
“It is correct to call you. Come here.”
The hesitant employee brushed off the dust from her clothes and approached Benelia.
Looking at her shabby appearance and shabby appearance of her, she did n’t think it was a watering can that climbed over her roof and walls, but Benelia didn’t erase her suspicions of her.
“I’m into the fun of reading books these days, but can you find me a book I want?”
“Yes. Just tell me, and I’ll bring it right away.”
“Okay. Then I will tell you a passage from the book, so find it and bring it to me.”
The employee nodded his head with dull eyes. Her complexion her with moderate tension and the thin look on the back of her hands her trembled well enough to she be called a commoner meeting the princess for the first time.
She was very natural on the outside, but Benelia felt a strange strange feeling in that naturalness. Raising her hand her to her scabbard her, she said Benelia quietly.
“We see the bare face of the world in the dark.”
Flinch. For an instant, the staff’s hands stopped shaking. The complexion, which had been filled with tension, was also dyed emotionless.
It was because the words Benelia had just uttered were not phrases from a book, but slogans exchanged by the group to which the killer belonged.
“Don’t you know?”
“Woe, Her Highness the Princess. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The employee belatedly changed his expression his, but it was already too late. Because I could see at a glance that the employee was lying.
“Is it.”
With a relaxed smile, Benelia placed her hand on the handle of her sword and twisted it.
Whoo!
At the same time as her foot her sword her, a silvery white half moon was drawn. However, there was no fresh blood at the place where the sword had passed.
‘Hallucination!’
Benellia, who thought she had been hurt, twisted her body, but the time around her was already slowing down.
The chatter of shoppers stretches like cheese, and intermittent laughter is heard modulated moment by moment.
Shoot aaaaa!
In addition, a huge wave that could not exist in reality came swallowing everything. Bookcases touched by the waves are smashed and glass shelves are destroyed scattering fragments.
A world in which precious metals and shards of glass scatter in disarray. Looking at the scene where everyone laughing and chatting was swept away, Benelia couldn’t help but let out a devastated breath.
“It sucks.”
In the next moment, the waves that hit Benelia turned the world upside down.
*
When she opened her closed eyes, Benelia was lying on her bed.
Outside her window, she could hear the sweet chirping of birds, and the warm sunlight was on the back of her hand. She feels the soft touch of the bed behind her back.
The familiar ceiling, hearing, and touch. Benelia, recognizing that she was lying in her imperial palace room her, calmly raised her body her.
She would scream if her vision her changed in an instant, but Benelia remained unconcerned throughout her life her.
‘…… Am I trapped in a hallucination?’
There was nothing special about it because it had already happened several times. She was troublesome enough to do business, but she knows how to get out of it, so she doesn’t have to worry.
However, it was regrettable and resentful that he had missed the trick in front of her eyes. Had she drawn her sword just a little faster, she might have been able to neutralize the disgusting thing right in front of her eyes.
Grinding her teeth, Benelia lifted her upper body and leaned against the back of her bed. The sight that is lower than usual is very unpleasant.
When she raises her hand just in case, she sees a small hand. She was just in case, but still. It was a ‘hallucination of childhood’ in which the trauma was reproduced.
“Such a joker…… !”
A cute yet soft voice pours out serious words. As Benelia’s fists trembled, someone came closer and bent her knees.
“Your Highness the Princess! Where the hell did you learn such vulgar words!”
It’s a strange but familiar tone. Surprised, Benelia turned her head away, and there was Theo Rad Deharm, dressed neatly in her tailcoat and wearing a stern expression.
“No…”
It was absurd. It was beyond absurd to the point of feeling deeply uncomfortable.
“Why are you here…….”
“It’s you. I’m Her Highness’s exclusive butler, right?”
I am speechless at the absurd answer. It was n’t enough that the guy who should n’t be there was guarding his side of her, and he was claiming to be the butler. What did your hair look like?
‘No way…….’
Swallowing her saliva, Benellia pointed her finger at Theo Rad.
“Are you also involved in it?”
