How to Subdue the Masochist Princess 73

Chapter 73 – Fatal Crisis

Same time.

In front of the old tree gate leading to the secret garden, Alicia stood alone for a while.

A stunned expression. She reached out to the doorknob, but she couldn’t bear to open it wide and stopped in the middle.

As a princess, she was able to obtain anything she wanted, and she was Alicia, who was able to achieve anything she wished for.

However, no matter how much she was, she could not dare to go against the imperial sun.

“…Why did this happen?”

With no one listening, the brain-shattering voice just pathetically spreads into the air.

Alicia’s ambitious plans were as follows.

Using the pretext of opening the archives, she presents a very special gift to her master, Wolfgang, who will be reborn as the rock that will protect the empire.

In this way, it captures the heart of a lover who keeps trying to leak to other places these days, and their relationship is recognized through a three-way face-to-face with Obama.

To sum it up, it was simple, but it was a plan that she had been preparing for quite a long time.

And, as always, she had no doubt that this time things would go her way.

But all of that ended up beautifully out of sync.

“Abama, please…”

Alicia shuddered at her utter helplessness.

Free love is a dreamlike story for most noble ladies due to the sentiment of the empire, but Alicia, the princess, was rather free from such problems.

Given that she is from the imperial family. This is because her happiness and free will take precedence over her political gain from her arranged marriage.

However, despite this, it was clearly deserving of criticism for breaking the strict court laws and making eye contact with her man.

Still, she can’t hide it forever.

So, she adopted this place as her meeting place, which reproduced the garden the empress had tended during her lifetime.

It was expected that if he, the emperor’s favorite resting place, sat with her and adjusted her mood, the conversation would surely flow in a not bad atmosphere.

However, judging from the appearance of Obama who let herself go with a cold attitude just a moment ago, was that a naive idea?

The secret garden inside the old tree gate is a space isolated from reality due to mystery. There was no way of knowing what the hell was going on inside.

“Abama, if you’re going to punish me, I’d rather take it. Sir Wolfgang did nothing wrong.”

In her confused mind, Alicia caressed my neck as she casually spat out a statement that would have been her flagship if the emperor had heard it.

—Sue…

Then, the sweet time I had just enjoyed was rewinding like a dream. Her extreme happiness and deep regret began to linger in Alicia’s head at the same time.

‘This isn’t just a pretty necklace.’

Repository of the imperial relics. The deepest part was not a space that even a direct descendant of the imperial family could enter without permission.

The only authority given to Alicia was the one-time opportunity she received as a gift for her coming-of-age ceremony.

Of course, her one-time use was a tremendous opportunity that anyone would covet, but it was nothing short of a gimmick to her.

Anyway, there were so many treasures that I couldn’t handle even now. Besides, he wasn’t particularly desperate for an artifact, so he accepted it at best and left it unattended for nearly a year.

So she thought of spending this time for Wolfgang.

As a knight who had to fight against her enemies, it was decided that it would be much more valuable for him to equip her with better weapons than for her to use them.

‘An enormous energy of mana. Why… ‘

However, Wolfgang gave her Alicia’s gift to her instead of using it for herself, returning it to her in its entirety.

Even to her princess, she felt like the rarest of her nobles, so this must have been brought from her innermost heart.

In Alicia’s opinion, it was rather foolish. If she knew it would be like this, she would rather have set the mood, and she would have said it directly rather than using metaphors.

I may get it again someday, but it’s a one-time chance for you, so get your hands on the best treasure.

However, you cannot turn back time. What had already happened could not be helped.

“Please, I hope Obama didn’t get too angry.”

All she could do now was earnestly wish for her Wolfgang’s safe return.

Just like that, with her eyes closed and her hands together, how anxious would she have been waiting?

After an eternity of time passed, the tightly locked door finally slowly opened.

—Kiik!

“Master! Oh…!”

However, the appearance of Wolfgang coming out of there alone could not be described as good even with empty words.

What kind of hardships did he go through? A visibly slumped expression and weak shoulders.

Alicia couldn’t help but shed tears at her rising emotions at seeing her pitiable appearance.

Because it was entirely his own fault that the master became like that.

“Huh, huh…!”

She was at a loss as to how to apologize.

* * *

The opportunity Her Majesty bestowed on me was very straightforward.

Just two more times. Become a blade that you can wield freely and carry out your mission.

Then he declared that he would approve of her relationship with Alicia, and that he would not care whether we revealed that we were lovers or not.

“Do you understand, son-in-law?”
“Yes. I will always do my best to follow your orders.”

For me, it was a generous condition to the point of being a little suspicious.

Anyway, the object I devoted my allegiance to was always the imperial family, and I wondered what the hell would change.

Unless His Majesty suddenly turned into a tyrant and issued inhumane orders, there was nothing to hold back.

Of course, the meaning of ‘a blade that can be wielded freely’ is likely to have more meanings than I thought, but it didn’t really matter.

I was willing to obey even if I was told to run to the battlefield again and become a servant of the white army. To this extent.

“Well, if Jim wants to be treated properly as a son-in-law even when he is not in his right mind.
“…”
“What are you so excited about? Nong. You’re a worthy talent even without her daughter, so you won’t be so easily dismissed. Probably.”

…You’re kidding, right?

The content is so meaningful, and since it is a statement from no one else, His Majesty the Emperor, I feel a great sense of pressure.

His Majesty grinned and snapped his fingers as he did not hide his nervousness.

—Fuck!

“Now then, shall we have a drink? If possible, I’d like to make a lot of memories while I’m sane. Clinking glasses with the future son-in-law wouldn’t be too bad.”
“Yes, of course. It’s an honor.”

The sun of the Empire proposes a drinking party, how could I refuse?

In this way, the tea table was set with a table of decent but impeccable sake, and I was given the honor of being a master craftsman with His Majesty the Emperor.

“Big…”
“Hey, are you weaker than you look?”

One minor problem was that when having a drink with a superior, it was basic courtesy not to drive drunkenness with mana.

It was the fact that His Majesty was a great master, comparable to any man I had ever met in my life.

Thanks to that, I was afflicted for a long time, and only after emptying dozens of bottles of hard liquor was I finally freed with a worried expression.

Come to think of it, Master really enjoys drinking too. Did he need the help of alcohol to reach the state of transcendence?

‘Damn it, the goal is ringing…’ “

I never dreamed that the supreme ruler of the empire, who seemed to live in a completely different world, would have a human face.

After all, they are all the same person.

And now.

“Huh, huh…! Sir Wolfgang, master…! I’m sorry, because of me…”
“No, why are you suddenly like that?”

When His Majesty left first and came out through the exit, Alicia suddenly shed tears and sobbed sadly.

Could it be that something happened? I patted her away quickly and comforted her.

“It’s all because of me… It’s because I’m greedy. It’s no wonder the owner…!”
“I’m fine. Please stop. Your pretty face will all be ruined.”

Looking at it this way, father and daughter really look alike. Really, both of them have a knack for embarrassing me.

“No, huh…! I’m a reprehensible bitch and I must be punished. I’ll do whatever the master gives me.”
“Please, Alicia. This is definitely not inside the imperial palace. Please pay attention to your words and actions.”
“I’m sorry…”

Like that, did she even let go of her mind?

When he was desperately trying to stop Alicia from talking casually in the middle of the imperial palace, making janitorial remarks that could only be made in bed.

—Paaah!

“…Ah?”

The Fairy Queen’s necklace, which was a gift to Alicia, had turned into a chained dog leash.

“Princess, Sir Wolfgang? Are you done with your business?”

In the midst of a completely unexpected situation, I was seriously doubting whether I hadn’t woken up yet.

Needless to say, he could feel the presence of Alicia’s attendants nearby.
