How to Subdue the Masochist Princess 148

Chapter 148 – Return

The return was swift and careful.
I didn’t notice because I was suffering from Master, but it turned out that there was another person in the party.

The owner of the White Horse Tower, Mirail de Falcyon.

I didn’t have a good relationship with the wizards, but I still knew the names of the owners of each Mage Tower.
It was also basic common sense, and I had the experience of carrying out operations together with the Master of the Mage Tower or his disciples, whether they liked it or not.
It was a way of wiping the back of the results of the wizards thoughtlessly cheap, but the results were not bad.

“…Ready to go back, gentlemen.”
“Whew. Yes. Let’s go home. There are so many things I want to say to him, but I can’t just leave you two here like that.”
“Yes, Her Highness the Princess.”

Anyway, it was the first time I saw the white horse tower, but she looked like a strict housekeeper at a girls’ school.

— Jerrit!

But, for some reason, the lady I’m seeing for the first time today glances at Alicia and me alternately and looks at this side as if she’s looking at the world’s most wicked person.
If I had been looked at like that by a wizard, I would have overturned everything, but the meaning behind that gaze was so clear.

I feel like a bachelor next door who gets caught having an affair and gets bullied by the whole town.
In fact, it was such an embarrassing situation, so what else could I say?

I just quietly lowered my gaze and chose to be silent.

—Kokok

Hehe…!”

In the midst of this, Ophelia trembles from behind and grabs my hand tightly, perhaps frightened by the women’s cries.
Thanks to that, the atmosphere became more chilly.

Of course, being chilly is a literal expression, so the temperature around me actually dropped noticeably, and I began to feel a coolness that I could never feel in the tropics.

“…”

Agnes, who is quiet, also seems to be very angry.

It’s a big deal.
Apparently, I’m a little bit fucked up in the vulgar language.

“Let’s go quickly, baby of the White Horse Tower. In my heart, I want to keep him here for another ten years, but that shouldn’t be the case. He’s a disciple who loves Miu and Gou and Yeo.”
“Lord of the White Horse Tower. For the coordinates of the destination, please go to the Palace of Light.”
“…Okay. Then, everyone please stand at the designated positions.”

— Awesome… That’s right!

And, come back.

I didn’t know it when I was subjected to forced transfer, but this takes a lot longer than normal teleportation.
To the point where you can feel it.

How far is the distance Where was the location of the uninhabited island?
I vaguely guessed it would be the southern side, but it seemed to be the end of the world.

Anyway, as long as teleportation magic exists, there is no point in limiting distance.

In no time, we were able to return to the bosom of the old empire.

* * *

There is a fact that you can know if you live in a foreign country for a long time.

That is, the smell of the air differs from region to region.
Knights with sensitive senses would probably be able to feel it better than others.

When we arrive at the center of the Palace of Gwangmyeong, which is probably a garden, we feel it in earnest.

Ah, you’re finally back.
The nostalgic air of hometown. The smell of the land of the Empire passed through the tip of my nose.

“Then I will leave now, Princess. Please preserve your body.”

The head of the tower on the white horse bowed her head to Alicia and left her.

“Thank you, the owner of the White Horse Tower. I will never forget the kindness you gave me for this. I’ll see you again soon.”
“I’m sorry.”

Still, at that level, the owner of the White Horse Tower seems to be very social for a wizard.
Unlike some crazy bitch whose memory came back to life when she faced the archmage after a long time.

As for her mage, her kind is closed to her origin, so I don’t know much about her recent situation, but if she had at least some common sense in her red mage tower, I wouldn’t have put her in the position of the master of her mage tower.
No matter how great her achievements were, if there was a problem with her personality, she was all wrong.
If she was him, she probably would have been around her all day, teasing and annoying her.

“Princess! You really did it in the end! After suffering so much for days and nights…”
“Whoops. Thank you, maid.”

On the other hand, when we arrived at the Palace of Light, Alicia’s ladies-in-waiting greeted us with delight.
The clergy of the Celestial Church had already arrived as if they had been contacted in advance.

“Saintess, saintess!
“Hey! Sister Scarlett?! Ugh… I’m choking!”

Priestess Scarlet rushes in and holds Ophelia tightly in her arms.
It’s the first time I’ve ever seen her, always expressionless, so agitated.

“Oh, Lord! Thank you.”

Seeing the priests kneeling down in unison and offering prayers of thanks, throwing away all their body pains, Master clicked his tongue.

“Ttsk. The priests are making a lot of fuss as of now.”

Perhaps it was because of Master that they didn’t bother to accompany them.
There is a special power that can deal with any variable, so others would have to follow it and become a burden that only increases the burden of the wizard.

However, it is a little strange that Cardinal Malleus is not visible.
How could he, who almost claimed to be the saintess’s guardian, not show his face in a place like this?
Could it be that the arrow of responsibility for this incident was directed at him?

Of course, the construction may just be busy, but somehow I have a bad feeling.
He is a person with whom I was close to some extent, so I am not comfortable with him.

“Wait, saintess. The flow of divine power that I feel is unusual. Did you really receive a revelation…?”

In the midst of this, the bishop-level person who seems to be in charge of her seems to have noticed the awakening of the saintess by staring blankly at Ophelia and opening her eyes wide in disbelief.

“Ummm… I’m not ashamed of the process… Yes! That’s right!”

Then, Ophelia unleashes her divine powers and even launches her halo over her head.

“Oh, Lord!
“Wait a minute! This is not a temple! You can’t make noise in other people’s houses!”

Suddenly, they sang praises, and for a long time, appeals of faith close to madness toward the saint continued.
Taking advantage of the confusion, Agnes, who had been quiet, finally grabbed my hand.

“Captain. It’s good that you’re back. The subordinates are waiting for you.”
“I’m sorry I’ve been away for a long time.”
“Don’t talk like that. Just because you came back, I…”

Seeing Ophelia and I clinging to each other, he seemed a little angry, but he seems to have calmed down a bit now.
I calmly held the female knight’s hand, which had become very rough, for a long time.

“Huh…”

As we create a sweet atmosphere with Agnes, Master’s gaze is overly stinging as she watches over me with her arms crossed and a meaningful nasal sound.
Two narrow eyes. That was the behavior that appeared when something was deeply dissatisfying.
In front of others, he seems uncomfortable because he cannot reveal a relationship beyond that of an ordinary master and disciple.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Time is what overflows with her. See you later. I wasn’t too worried about it in the first place. You have to be strong in the first place.”

Damn, screwed up.
That’s obviously pissed off. If you get angry once, you’re a master who lasts for a month, but I’m afraid of what the hell will happen if we’re alone.

There are still a lot of people to meet, and a lot of things to deal with.
I don’t know what will happen when it’s already so complicated.
It was a subtle feeling, as if I had just returned from an extended vacation without notice.

So let’s calm things down a bit.
There is a feeling of bewilderment that cannot be hidden in the expressions of the ladies-in-waiting as they glance at Ophelia and me.

“What about the clothes… The saintess is better, but Sir Wolfgang barely covered his lower part.”
“Oh my gosh. Look at the split upper body muscles.”
“Gulp… Emily, are all knights like that?”
“Oh, no. I’ve met a few of them, and he’s just exceptional…”

Among them, there were some embarrassing reviews, but I just cleared my throat and passed them away.
On the other hand, the lady-in-waiting Leona, who had even paused for a moment and looked at the two of us with stunned eyes, soon cleared her voice and said calmly.

“Well, I don’t even dare to guess what kind of hardships the missing people must have gone through. First of all, you’ll be tired, so let’s get ready to take a bath.”
“Ah, thank you.”

At the words of the maid, I finally looked around.
Come to think of it, it was the first time I had entered the palace of light directly.

The interior is luxurious, but unlike the imperial palace, it feels warm and comfortable rather than grand.
Its size was only about the size of several large mansions. For a member of the royal family, he is very frugal and cute.
Alicia lives in a place like this.

Although she did not last long after her disappearance, and during her distress she did not feel much discomfort.
Symbol of civilization. It is only now that I realize it when I arrive at the most luxurious residence of the imperial family.
That’s how miserable we were.

Of course, the clothes of Ophelia and I now are completely primitive.
Considering how much influence clothes have on imperial society, it was understandable that the ladies-in-waiting were making such a fuss.

Let’s wash first. I think I need to wash and change my clothes to save face.

The moment she thought so, Alicia, who was staring at me while having a conversation with the lady-in-waiting, came up to her and touched my shoulder and whispered in my ear.

“Let’s wash together. Because of you, I haven’t washed properly for several days.”

… What?
