Chapter 343 – The Sick Princess Can’t Give!
Episode 343 I can’t give the sickly princess!
“””… !”””
Ann flinched, she was startled, but she didn’t push me away, didn’t cower with her body, didn’t run away.
She just tilted her face slightly and accepted her kiss as her chick’s lips touched her lips as lightly as drinking water.
Lightly once, twice, three times…
Lips that meet and meet.
She softly bites her upper lip, then bites her lower lip as well.
As if to calm her trembling lips, she touches them with her lips.
Are you okay.
She won’t reject me
My heart is holding on
Because she is afraid of men and fears skinship, she is even more cautious.
Being able to come into contact with Anne is not a privilege.
It’s like a commando who jumped in first to rescue a hostage.
The first thing with a high risk of getting hit by an arrow and dying.
What you have to do to keep hostages from getting hurt.
“”…””
The surroundings are quiet.
The noisy banquet hall became quiet as if someone had poured cold water on it.
Prince Fernando’s lips twisted, and Duke Dupre… Lift only one corner of your mouth.
Took.
Ann gently pushes my chest.
I was pushed aside.
Are you okay.
I know that you endured even for a moment, that you put in a lot of effort.
“Anne has decided to marry me.
It took a long time to come, and I’m sorry.”
“Under… It’s ridiculous.
Ann, do you want that too?”
“I’m sorry…
You gave me a good suggestion, but I… I want to live happily.”
“Anne, that was an imprudent move.
That’s what your brother used to do.
Being angry and rebelling and making an accident.
Come here.”
“Grandpa, I’m sorry.
I also wanted to do what I wanted to do at least once.”
“The riches and honors gained through the status of a princess are not free.
You have work for you to do.”
“You’re doing what you have to do, aren’t you?
I will take back Amitie with me.”
At my boastful words, Prince Fernando gave a twisted smile.
“You must have been in vain over a small victory.
I think I already have the throne of Amitie back.
Be proud
Have you ever heard that pride precedes defeat?
As far as I know, the throne of the Devil’s Castle is also in jeopardy.
Didn’t the Demon King almost get sold to the eldest son of the Berthier family some time ago?
If you can’t even control your own house and covet another place, you can use it~”
Those who heard Fernando’s rude words raised their eyebrows.
Representatively, there are Van Dark and Balak, who are heading straight towards this place with scary eyes on them.
Balak walks by bumping into the shoulders of people around him, and Van Dark comes with his narrow eyes wide open.
I don’t know which one expresses more anger.
So trustworthy
There are those who get angry instead of me, so I have to be patient.
He barely swallowed the hot energy back into his throat.
“Thanks for the point.
But please stop blaspheming our demon lord.
I can’t guarantee that I can save your life here.”
“That kiss earlier was very provocative.
You screwed up
Is it your hobby to covet other people’s women?”
“Someone would think Anne was already married to you.
Actually, I’m not even a lover.
Aren’t we talking about marriage now?”
“That goes for you too.
Ann, so are you.
Deviance at best is like playing with a horned man.
Are you going to be a prostitute who sells herself to the heretics?”
“Now, those words are also insulting to Our Highness.
I want you to be considerate.
But… I apologize for that action earlier.
You must have been very surprised.
But I will correct the facts.
I’m dating this guy.
That’s why we can’t go ahead with marriage talks right now.”
Ann gave a small nod.
Seeing that, Prince Fernando puts his hands on his waist and puts his legs on his back.
“Anne, don’t do this.
Puberty is long over.
Give you one last chance
If you don’t hold my hand now, you will never return to Amity’s castle again.
Now, take my hand.”
“It’s not that I don’t know your dark side.
You must have been impatient to see Amitie.”
“What?”
I guess my words hit the mark.
Prince Fernando just said something he shouldn’t have said.
“What does it have to do with marrying you and going back to Amity?
Rebel Catherine sits like a thief on her throne.
Neither Stella nor Anne can go back until she gets rid of her.
Even if Anne marries Ariandel, how is it going to restore the royal seat of Amitie?”
“Ariandel will cooperate with Princess Anne in reclaiming her throne based on her marriage alliance.”
“How?”
“Yes, do it with an army.”
“You said that 100,000 people were pilgrims?
Are you a normal citizen?
Did you know that the number of regular troops in Ariandel is very small?”
“…”
Did you miss it?
It’s already too late.
I can’t pick up the words.
As you know, Ariandel is a small kingdom, and the number of standing troops is very small.
They must have mobilized and armed their own people for free under the pretext of declaring a holy war.
A conscription order without a reaction to the conscription order.
How convenient is this?
Because the pope in the cathedral will eat all the swearing.
“Now that sounds like you can move the troops inside Amity as you please, right?
Didn’t all the pilgrims fight the demon lord’s army because of the strange cause of war declared by the cathedral?
How does she get rid of Catherine, who is fighting the demon lord?
For what reason?”
“That’s why I expressed my support for the rightful queen, Queen Stella…”
“If you express it?
The pilgrims came to fight the Demon King’s army, but the group beat Catherine?
I wonder if that might be the case.”
“The Ariandel royal family has the support of the people.
I can do that much… !”
“Then I can still do it.
Ariandel is a branch country and brother country established by the royal family of Amitie.
Make it clear, even now, which one you regard as the rightful queen.”
“Ha, you’re talking like I’m looking at something?”
A shadow falls on his face.
It is not a figurative expression.
It’s because the lights are temporarily blocked by the height of the mixed-race giant standing behind me.
Van Dark stood to my right with his eyes wide open for the first time in a while, glaring at Prince Fernando and said.
“I heard something about the throne of the demon king earlier.
Is there a human scumbag who dares to insult our majesty?
They thought I buried them all in the ground.”
“I agree.
Say it again in front of me.”
Even if you don’t look back, you can tell what kind of eyes Balak is looking at.
A mixed-race giant, and a berserker at that.
He came wearing the finest fur leather suit made from several tiger skins because he did not have a suit that fit his body.
You will feel intimidated just standing there.
There is no need to say what Van Dark is like after he has opened his eyes.
Nevertheless, Fernando shows no signs of backing down.
Haha!
You’ve heard the story of General Calz’s rebellion.
Besides, the Berthier family, to which Michelle belongs, was attacked by the royal guards of the Demon King’s Castle, right?
What do you think those who escaped from there will do?
By now, the nobles of the central castle must be gathering and whispering.
I’m afraid it’s not my turn next.
My advice, don’t leave the main base empty for a long time~
Especially if it was a demon king who had not inherited the authority of fire yet and had a coronation ceremony in the camp.
Besides, since Guk-seo was from a commoner, there would be no allies to help strengthen the Kingship.
The Demon King is going to wake up in the future?”
“””…”””
I don’t have anything to say because it’s so right.
I’m poking where it hurts properly.
I’m a commoner, and I’m not very helpful in strengthening Rumika’s royal authority.
The good thing is that I almost control the military, and I command 3/4 of the regular army?
It’s a shame that Nene and Khan cooperated, otherwise we would have been dealing with Catherine’s Army + Rebels in a set by now.
“Since there is only one of the Four Heavenly Kings present at this event, I can see them going back a bit…
If I stick to Catherine from here to Ariandel, will you be able to handle it?”
“Wasn’t he implicitly sympathizing with Catherine in the first place and looking for an opportunity?
I very actively participated in the cause of the so-called ‘hospital’ issued by the cathedral.
If it was originally for the national interest, farmers should have been engaged in their livelihood without being swept away by religious wars.
Isn’t that a disprove that you were ambitious?
At this point, it seems that he has a desire to outrun his brother’s country.
You don’t have to worry about the demon king.
The Demon King’s 200,000-strong army will shake the heavens and the earth.”
“Hey, be scared.
That’s the story of when 200,000 troops can gather.
It would be better to quell the rebellion while touring the beastmen first.
If you don’t want to be robbed.
Duke Dupre, it was a very nice banquet.”
“I’m sorry…”
Duke Dupre’s expression darkened.
“Well, I have pride too, so I have no intention of continuing to court a woman who hates me.
Ann, your heart is clear.
Isn’t it a rebellion that you don’t want to live in a distant country and don’t want to have an arranged marriage?
So, isn’t it like kissing a man in a public place like this, unlike you?”
“It’s not like that…”
Anne quietly lowered her eyes and denied it.
However, Prince Fernando is more proud of that appearance.
“You are overdoing it.”
“…”
“A person who is difficult to hold a man’s hand, I know you worked hard to act.
It seems that he used that chi to rebel against Duke Dupre, but I will tolerate that much.
But next time you come to see me, you’ll have to apologize very politely.
Accepting my defiled body was patronizing, but it made me even more angry.”
At the remark that crossed the line, Duke Dupre also put down his glass and glared at him.
“Please refrain from talking.
Still, she is my granddaughter, daughter of the royal family.
I will not tolerate rude words and actions.”
“If not?”
“Even though you may not be able to live well by taking him, it will be difficult if you do this before taking him.”
“What’s the fuss?”
Again. Again. Again.
“Your majesty.”
“Your majesty… !”
“Who dares to cause a commotion at my banquet?”
It’s a fine day, so a red-haired demon girl wearing a black dress with a strap around her neck instead of a shoulder strap approaches.
It’s Rumika.
“Your Majesty, that is…”
I explain everything.
“Hmm… Duke Dupre, is it true?”
“Yes, I’m sorry, but it is.”
“Did I say Prince Fernando?
Is it true?”
“I have a correction to make.
In fact…”
Fernando explains from his point of view.
“I didn’t ask you to do this to Jim’s banquet.
The wedding day should have been discussed separately.
I apologize on behalf of the bureau’s actions.
But I will not tolerate any insults against me and my allies.
I want you to apologize for the profanity you have just spoken about Princess Anne.”
“Your Majesty, treating an envoy like this is unprecedented in history.”
“Reaper?
Are you the one who officially came with a procession of envoys carrying diplomatic documents?
Or did you have a working-level meeting with a diplomat for diplomacy with the Demon King’s Army?
Which side do you look at and call yourself a god of death?”
“…”
“It is customary for a person who ruins the demon lord’s banquet to make a drum out of his skin.
Since it’s an honored guest from far away, I won’t do anything special.
“Your majesty…”
As I, Van Dark, and Balak try to open their mouths, Rumika holds up one of her hands to stop them.
She looked straight at Fernando with her eyes, sharp and wild, like the horns on top of her head.
“Hurry.”
“Sorry…”
“Not Jim, but Princess Anne.”
“I’m sorry, Princess.”
Fernando bowed 90 degrees to apologize.
“You’re welcome.
I apologize for surprising you too.”
“I am very excited too.
I’m sorry for hurting you.”
Ann and I both bow down and apologize to him.
“Then I’ll just go for it.”
“I have a big announcement from Jim in the evening, so please come back.
Go to your room and rest for a while.”
Fernando retreating.
Rumika turned around behind her and thanked her two friends who stood behind me.
“General Balak, General Van Dark.
Thank you so much for stepping up to protect Jim’s honor.
However, then the number of enemies really increases.
He too is a prince.
You’ll be angry right now, but you shouldn’t give Ariandel a reason to join the war.”
“”… I apologize, Your Majesty.”
“A good demon king knows how to wait.
As he said, I will crack down on the house and clean up the enemies in front of me step by step.
But I won’t forget today.
Generals do that too.”
““I am embarrassed, Your Majesty.””
Balak and Van Dark bow their heads to Rumika.
“Keep your head up.
Thank you both for being mad about my story.”
“As a servant, it is natural.”
“There is nothing in the world for granted.
It is not natural for parents to love their children.
Who did it to me
The one who said that, and Princess Anne, please talk to me for a while.”
Having said that, Ann and I calmly followed Rumika.
***
Another angle, another angle.
Bruise, bruise.
Jerk, jerk.
The steps of the three pass through the garden path.
Rumica is walking slowly, staring at the tree, and me and Ann are following more slowly.
The soldiers of the Supreme Guard and Ran follow after him one after another.
It was a bit of a narrow road to stand side by side, and Rumika seemed to have a lot to think about.
“Brother…”
“Huh.”
“Do you like princesses?”
“Good.”
“Are you sure the princess wants to marry Prince Kamyu?”
“I think it’s fine.”
Stop.
“There’s no way you’re willing to do that.”
Rumika looks behind her.
“Sir Lan.
Take over the surroundings.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.
You guys, get everyone back 50 paces from here, and be wary of your surroundings.”
“Yes!”
The soldiers of the Supreme Guard, dressed in black armor with red bulls on them, walk in unison.
Lando was away while inspecting the surroundings.
Only then did Rumika open her mouth again.
“Brother, come here.”
I stood next to Lumica.
Rumika pulled her arm around mine with one of her arms and stood in front of Anne.
“My husband hasn’t been in a lot of relationships, so he’s very naive.”
Hey! I’ve done more than you?!
She didn’t even pretend to see my expression of bewilderment, but Rumika continued her words as she looked at Anne.
“So when a girl she likes shows her crush, she follows her like a puppy, wagging her tail.
I’m so worried I can’t open my eyes.
That’s why I don’t let women who approach my husband with a half-hearted mind.
That’s why I’m asking you, I want you to be sure.”
Rumika’s eyes sparkled.
As if piercing Anne’s heart.
“There is a point in what Prince Fernando said earlier.
I am concerned that you are using my husband because you do not like living in a foreign country or because you do not like the transactional arranged marriage.”
“…”
Rumica spoke to Ann in a more grave voice than ever before.
“I will definitely ask.
What do you really think of my husband?”
