Chapter 84 – The Unknown Princess
Again and again-
Only the footsteps of the elves quietly echoed in the wide corridors of Pelgaroin Castle.
Her slow steps she moved quietly, as if lost in thought. As if he was representing the elf’s heart, his steps her were powerless.
‘You…….’
The Count’s second daughter, Essilie Pelgarin.
Even with her unbeatable opponent in front of her, she did not show her fear of her.
She proudly took out her own hand, suppressing the fear that she might be killed if she went against her opponent her.
Although rare enough to count on her hand her, she has encountered humans like Essili a few times over the years.
They did not give in to any crisis or adversity. It is because he led the people as a light by fighting without fail even in the situation of Gandu.
People used to call them heroes. Heroes did not hesitate to burn their lives for the sake of the people, society, and a better world.
However, Ashley was a little different. Because the cause to become a hero was tailored for one person, not the people.
─ I love Theorard!
The only revolution she wanted was love.
─ I will definitely rescue Theorad from you!
She decided to burn her life for the sake of Theorard, for the man she loved.
Just as a dormant flower bud blooms in the sunlight, an indomitable flower has blossomed in the heart of Esily, who was hostile to the elves.
Thanks to this, the elf was able to vaguely intuit. Now Ecily never backs down. Even at the cost of her own life, she will try to save Theo Rad from evil.
The ‘evil’ Esily defined here was, of course, an elf.
‘A subject I don’t know anything about…….’
Eshili is a hero created by ignorance. He was, however, more dangerous because he was not ignorant.
For no reason, her breath is choking and her heart is choking. Unknown emotions complicate the state of mind, and actions that were thought to be right have lost their standards and become cloudy.
Naturally, the footsteps stop. The elf stopped in front of Theorard’s cabin and hesitated to open the door.
Originally, after giving a warning to Esily, he would meet Theorard and hold him accountable for abandoning him, but he couldn’t.
—It’s disgusting, you.
Essilly’s words became a dagger and put a brake on the elf’s actions.
My troubled mind can’t calm down. Even if I met Theorard in my current mood, I wouldn’t be able to say anything.
Even though a human had lived a long time, repeating his life three times, the criticism of hostile others was still hurting the elf.
Eventually, the elf let go of the doorknob.
‘…… Not today.’
Let’s postpone seeing Theorard until later. After all, there is plenty of time. There was nothing wrong with not seeing her for a day or so.
It was the moment when the elf was about to return to the barn after rationalizing.
Clap-
The elf took a step back in embarrassment as the doorknob turned by itself. Before he could run away, the door opened, and Theorad appeared through it.
“…….”
Theorad, dressed neatly as if measured with a ruler, looked down at the elf with a cold gaze.
The light brown eyes of his narrowing sharply felt as if they were scolding him, so the elf had no choice but to bow his head in silence.
*
‘Why are you here…… ?’
I just opened the door to go get a drink, but I’m embarrassed to see an elf in front of the door.
I was looking down at the elf as calmly as possible, but the hand holding the doorknob was shaking against my will.
That would be the case, because he openly removed the elves from the castle garden and spent time with Essilly.
The elf must have been very angry. There is no doubt that he has come to this place, a long way from the barn where he was assigned to sleep.
‘Dangerous…… !’
The moment an angry elf entered the room, there was a high possibility that it would die a second death. It was unclear whether it would work, but it would be the right decision to issue an order to celebrate.
“What are you messing around here? Turn it off right now…….”
But I couldn’t finish talking. The atmosphere of the elves is strange.
He wasn’t whining like he usually was, and he wasn’t overbearing like he was when he was angry. It was not at all elf-like that her half-closed eyes were looking down at the floor as if in deep thought.
‘Why?’
I’m not sure why, but it certainly wasn’t normal. Even if he was an elf, he was behaving like someone else, so he was strangely worried.
After a moment of awkwardness, I grabbed the elf’s chin and lifted him up. Red eyes with weak moisture look up at me once, then deliberately look away.
‘This is the first time I’ve ever had this…….’
There were countless times when I pretended to be weak because I wanted to sell, but I didn’t have this sincerity. Or is this even acting? After thinking briefly, I decided that this was not an elf’s performance.
“Tell me. Who bullies you?”
The elf didn’t answer right away. The elf, who had been procrastinating for a long time in the settled silence, opened his mouth as if breathing out.
“…… No.”
“But why-“
“No, I did.”
The sharp eyes his made my shoulders tremble. Embarrassed, I let go of the hand holding the elf’s chin.
Well, there was no way there was anyone here who could bully the elves.
In order to become a skilled enough to harass the elves, you would have to at least be recognized as a Sword Master by the ‘Hawk of Unspoken’, an organization of certified swordsmen in the imperial family.
Even the leader of the Knights of Hildes Froheim, who was said to be the most proficient in swordsmanship in the county, was only a Provost Meister, a level prior to Sword Master, so he would not be able to deal with elves.
‘In the first place…… There’s no reason for such titans to challenge an apparently enslaved elf to a duel.’
In any case, it was fortunate that no one was arguing with the elf. If there were people whom the elves disregarded as slaves, I would have been in trouble for no reason.
‘By the way…….’
If no one bothered her, why is she exuding such a gloomy aura?
I didn’t understand, so I looked over at the elf and confirmed that the maid uniform the elf was wearing was tainted by an unknown source.
Come to think of it, it seems that the elf smells something delicious.
I think I came back from working in the kitchen, but maybe I was in a bad mood because my clothes were dirty? If so, I could have solved it.
“Come in at once.”
“I don’t like it.”
“Don’t be cocky.”
I shot the elf once. Although he was coercive in his words and actions of his, he had the intention of sending the elf back if he said no to it again.
However, the elf just stared straight ahead, neither affirming nor denying. I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking, so I was confused, but I was reluctant to ask again.
I let out a low sigh and went inside, and the elf moved behind me like a duck following its mother his.
“First, sit down on the bed.”
Being burdened by that, I restricted the elf’s actions his.
I wondered what to do if he refused, but the elf unexpectedly went to bed and sat down without much resistance.
Feeling fortunate, I went to the corner of the spacious room and opened the closet. On the left hung a guest gown and casual wear, but on the right hung the Pelgarin family’s maid uniform.
Due to the lack of VIP rooms (most knights prefer VIP rooms) due to the sudden arrival of a large number of people from the imperial household, Essilie hastily converted her maidservant’s room into a guest room and gave it to me.
‘If I had known this would happen, I would have asked for a regular room.’
It was not uncomfortable to stay in a normal room, but I felt sorry for making the head maid uncomfortable.
Let’s take care of the gold coins later for the maid who worked hard. After thinking about it, I took out a Pelgarin maid uniform and looked at it from front to back.
It wasn’t much different from the one used in Deharm’s mansion, but this one is more elegant and luxurious. It may be more because of the maid uniform of the head maid.
Anyway, the clothes don’t seem to have any flaws, so you can change them as they are.
I closed the closet and approached the elf with the maid uniform. I let out a big cough and threw my clothes next to the elf sitting quietly.
“Change. The smell is unpleasant. Also, if you go around in such a filthy way, it’s tantamount to damaging the status of the Deharm family.”
The elf didn’t move. He just looked up blankly at me.
“…… Plus, it’s not good for hygiene. By any chance, if four years get sick, I have to pay for everything, so it’s inconvenient.”
Again, the answer is silence. Her empty eyes were staring at me, so I couldn’t get a sense of what she wanted.
My mouth is dry for no reason. I couldn’t understand the elf’s behavior, but if I stayed still saying I couldn’t understand it, the worst could have happened.
While rolling my head, I grasped the elf’s intentions and approached. Based on the elves’ perverted tendencies, they probably want to take off their clothes.
“I will take it off myself. It’s like a careless bitch.”
I knelt down on one knee and stretched out my hand as if wrapping the elf’s back to untie the knot on the apron. After that, I took off the hair band and put it next to me, and I undid the clothes string around the neck that was holding the maid’s uniform so it wouldn’t slip off.
Now hold the upper garment along the shoulder line and pull it down to finish. I was about to take the next action naturally, but a sudden thought stopped me.
‘Could it be that I’m not wearing underwear this time?’
Then I have to look at the elf’s chest his, and at that point, the moment the elf seduces me, I fall into a swamp of sexual intercourse.
Could it be that the elf came here with all this planned? Unknowingly, my hands were shaking and I couldn’t bear to take off my clothes.
Clap-
Just then, I heard the doorknob turn and the door burst open.
“This is Theorad Deharm’s room…….”
The intruder stops talking. Feeling a bit ominous, she turned her head to see a woman with long grayish black hair, wearing a military uniform, looking this way.
A white lion, the symbol of the imperial family, was embroidered on her uniform, so I knew at once that she was the princess who was said to have descended from the county.
No, I had to know. Behind the princess, two armed knights and Roylen, the master professor of the Imperial Mage Tower, stood one after another.
Thanks to you, I was dying. From a third person’s point of view, I was a brute trying to undress a slave in a private room.
I couldn’t get any kind eyes.
“Right.”
Before I could explain anything, the princess nodded her head.
“Is it sexual intercourse?”
Without surprise or denial, I am speechless at the plain sentiment. The princess entered the room and took a chair from a nearby table and sat down.
“I really wanted to see it at least once. I will use it as a textbook, so you may proceed.”
“Wow, Her Highness the Princess…… ?”
Embarrassed Roilen opened her mouth blankly, but the princess elegantly raised her hand and made Roilen shut her mouth.
“This is an unexpected stroke of luck. These days, students say it’s an ‘intuition dog gain’.”
A cold silence hangs around. As everyone’s eyes focused on the princess, she naturally continued to speak as if the princess, who was puzzled for a moment, understood.
“Ah. Don’t you guys know what to say these days? The word intuition dog gain is short for ‘I’m really grateful to see it in person’.”
Thanks to that, I realized that the princess was not normal.
