Chapter 159 – 16. This Man’s Influence Spreads Through the Empire
“I heard you did something?”
Iron-Blooded Princess Helena smiled at her and said.
“Huh? Ah, that? Did I do something?”
“Even so. In the end, the three of you are Siwoo-nim’s party members, the harem cartel. Huhu.”
She giggled and went through her report of what had happened while she was away.
There is no event that has as much impact as this, probably because the period of leaving the capital was short.
Of course, even if that’s not the case, it’s something worth talking about. They didn’t know that they were not citizens of the empire, but illegal dildos that imitated those of male warriors had been a headache for a long time.
“Hmm, is that enough?”
Siwoo put on an expression that seemed to be incomprehensible.
He had heard that he had his own, but it was because he was not very impressed.
“There were quite a few people complaining about the damage.”
“Huh.”
I still don’t understand, but I nodded my head.
I don’t know if there are sensitive people or if there are other reasons, but it was a good thing if there were people complaining about the damage. It was a pretty good result for being lucky enough to get caught. His reputation among male warriors is not very good.
‘It’s not really necessary, but there’s nothing bad about it because the ratings went up.’
Contrary to Siwoo’s expectations, however, his reputation did not change much.
To most of the male warriors, Han Si-woo was a person they couldn’t get close to.
“Well, by the way, how was your job?”
“It took a little while, but it wasn’t a big deal.”
It wasn’t even a small thing for Helena, as if it wasn’t a big deal.
A conflict that arose as factions grew rapidly.
If handled incorrectly, the established factions that had been built up might be shaken.
However, the iron-blooded princess handled the matter as if it were no big deal, and she took the center of the faction.
The rapid growth of the faction is thanks to Siwoo, but it was only her ability to fully digest it.
“Haha. It’s Helena as expected.”
“Whoops. Even if you praise me like that, nothing comes out.”
She said that, but the corner of her princess’s mouth was lifted in Siu’s eyes.
“It’s not a compliment. I’m just stating the truth.”
“It’s thanks to Siwoo.”
“Humility is. You don’t know much about the truth of engagement.”
“…? Yes.”
“Nevertheless, Helena’s faction remains loyal to Helena. It would seem that her views have changed since she ascended the throne rather than ascending the throne herself. That means they believe in Helena.”
Despite the sudden engagement and change of stance, the 3 princesses were unmoved.
No one suspected her, and no one went to her other cliques. She is not even neutral at all.
Evidence that the clique may have been the smallest in size, but it was as confident as its base of support.
And now the faction itself is gradually increasing in size.
Although she may be a little busy with her management, Helena was more than happy.
“It’s too much of a compliment…”
‘Oh.’
Siwoo was surprised to see her blushing up to her ears.
It’s not my intention to make fun of it. She was genuinely admiring what was impossible for herself, and she just expressed it. But maybe she wasn’t used to compliments, Helena looked very cute.
As much as I would like to fit her mouth if possible.
‘Shit. It’s a pity.’
When Siwoo smiled sadly even though he felt sorry for him, the third princess quickly turned her words around.
“That, more than that! Who told you that?”
A faction fight for succession to the throne.
But it’s happening inside the empire.
In other countries, no matter how much you investigate, you can only get a rough idea, but it is impossible to know in detail like Siwoo. There is absolutely no fool who informs the outside of the cracks caused by the power struggle.
So, it’s clear that there must be a proper helper.
Soon there were people who came to Helena’s head.
“…They’re twins.”
“Hehe, that’s right.”
“Ugh.”
Helena sighed and shook her head.
I don’t know about the 7th princess Rin, but her 8th princess Ren definitely seemed to have a crush on Siu. We will find out later whether that is rational or human. Still, she hadn’t expected it to be such an easy thing to say.
‘No, is it because he’s my fiancé?’
Still, I don’t get the feeling that the cautious and reticent Ren did it, but she is Rin’s talker, and she doesn’t think Ren will stay still. She was, thanks to her, Helena, who was starting to get very confused.
“I’ll have to scold you later.”
“Don’t be so mean. They’re kids.”
At Siwoo’s words, she snorted.
“What about the kids? How old are the twins?”
“Yes? That’s right…”
It was a chance to know the truth, but Helena, not thinking that Siu was mistaken, cut him off. She just assumed that her twin princesses were acting like her children and her fiancée’s younger siblings, so she felt that way.
“That’s enough. If you’re a member of the imperial family, from the moment you’re over ten years old, you’ll get caught up in strife.”
“Hmm…”
Siwoo drooling in regret.
That part is the contents of the imperial family law set by the first emperor.
Ten years old and younger are under the Emperor’s absolute protection, but those older than that are out.
This is the part where you can know the ruthless strong self-existence law of the Glazer Empire.
Still, thanks to that, even if you are young, you can make minimal preparations, and you will rarely die in childhood. It’s a one-size-fits-all in its own way. It is common for truly serious power struggles to kill siblings in infancy, let alone in childhood.
“I know. But… I want to take care of them for some reason.”
“Well, that’s me too. It’s not like twins are the only siblings, but they’re special.”
Her 3rd Princess Helena’s mouth is covered with a gentle smile.
Her twin princess had been especially kind to her since she was young, not just because she was her sister-in-law. It’s strange that she doesn’t like kids like that, since she and she are people. What’s more, she is now getting help in many ways.
“Haha. As a brother-in-law, I have to work hard too.”
“…Brother-in-law?”
She opens her eyes and looks at Siwoo.
Her fiancé shrugged her shoulders like it was nothing.
“Somehow they called me that.”
“…”
“…Hey, Helena?”
For some reason, when her 3rd princess’s expression doesn’t look good, her panicked Siwoo calls her.
Then, instead of answering her, Helena asked him in a cool, low voice.
“Then…Then what does Siwoo-nim call you?”
“Yes? Oh, those two? They told me to call them by nicknames…”
“Rin, Len?”
“Uh, yes.”
“…”
“Is there something wrong with you? Then just use your real name…”
“Oh, no. It’s fine. I’m fine.”
“…?…!!”
Somewhere wrong answer.
Siu noticed something. Right now, the 3rd princess, Helena, was jealous.
‘Is this what you want?’
He couldn’t believe he was jealous of the two sisters he cared for and not the other women.
As expected, Helena was jealous. To her twin sister, who had just reached adulthood. But she herself did not recognize that this was her jealousy. I don’t know why, but I just thought that Siwoo’s words made her heart uncomfortable.
‘What? What does this feel like?’
Helena was troubled.
She’s the best she’s ever had in her life that she’s jealous.
Considering even her feelings for her Siu to be between friendship and liking, she couldn’t afford to admit to Helena that she was jealous of her twin sister and no one else.
‘Whoa. Something like that.’
Her feelings of unknown identity made her uncomfortable and caused her princess to change the subject of her.
“… Sir Siu.”
“Yes.”
“The date of our engagement… I think we got it.”
“Yes? Engagement?”
His eyes widened.
It was out of the blue, but I didn’t understand.
“But the emperor’s health is not good…”
“Yes. That’s why I think you’re going to force it further.”
“…Aha.”
If the emperor, the head of the empire and head of the imperial family, is in poor health, even important events will be postponed or canceled. So, on the contrary, by holding an engagement ceremony, he is trying to let people know that he is healthy.
To the demons, to foreign countries, and to the children who are fighting over the throne.
“I can’t say for sure, but it’s a good thing for us.”
“Yes.”
Siwoo Han and Helena.
News of their engagement spread across the continent before the Empire even announced it.
It was no exaggeration to say that most of them already knew, and in fact treated them as betrothed. The same goes for the Glazer Imperial Family. Didn’t the twin princess also call Siwoo brother-in-law?
However, she is not yet engaged. This is because the Glaser Imperial Family does not recognize engagements without engagement ceremonies. This part is important. This is because the difference between being engaged and not being engaged is surprisingly large.
“When is it?”
“Three weeks later. Exactly…”
Siu heard Helena’s date and took her notebook out of her arms to check the schedule.
There was no problem with the visit to the Empire itself this time, as it was well-planned. However, there is definitely a sense of being caught in a hurry. It is common to set a date and prepare for such an event at least several months in advance.
“What I’m going to prepare…”
“No. Siwoo-nim, whooping. All you have to do is come.”
“Something like practice?”
“There’s no need for that. The engagement ceremony for the imperial family is really nothing special. Probably won’t make it big either. Wouldn’t it be roughly 2 or 3 million? I’ll let you know when it’s decided in detail.”
“All right.”
Siwoo doesn’t stop smiling while looking at Helena.
She shook her body and turned her head. As she continues to look at him, her heart continues to throb. The coolness she was used to maintaining was broken. Helena was frustrated because she couldn’t even guess what caused her.
‘You’re so agitated…’
The escort knight guarding the back of the princess, who was in Helena’s room with the two of them, admired them.
Even though it’s been a month since we’ve seen each other, I can feel Helena’s love for Siwoo getting deeper. Progressing much faster than she thought. Watching the transformation of her lord, friend, and benefactor made her unbearably happy.
‘I should be really grateful.’
In her heart, she was happy and grateful to Siwoo, and she flinched.
I could feel the escort knight, who was more sensitive because he was blind.
The gaze of Siwoo, who was staring at him.
“…”
“…”
Obviously, there is no point of contact unless it is Princess Helena, and she is sending a tearful smile to herself even though she has not exchanged a few words. Her gaze is also full of goodwill. She was puzzled because she couldn’t understand the language.
‘Yes, the princess must feel this way too.’
The reason Siwoo looked at her is simple.
More than a smile on his face, the escort driver was gazing at Helena happily. Even though she can’t see her eyes, the direction of her head is towards Helena. Siwoo also knows the past of the two to some extent.
And the fact that the escort knight died while protecting Helena a few years later.
‘There is still some time, but the future is gradually changing. I’ll have to check this one just in case.’
Siwoo organizes what will happen in the future in his head.
Meanwhile, something strange came into Helena’s eyes as she was concentrating on her papers to calm her tumultuous heart.
‘The daily wages caught this time… Most of them ended in fines? Is that the size of the back? ?’
“Do you know how hard I’ve worked to get you fined and robbed?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Haa. I’m so dumbfounded. I want to know how I can get caught out like that.”
“…Sorry.”
Luxuriously decorated room.
The old-fashioned woman let out a sigh as she saw two women kneeling in front of her.
Illegal artisans, who did not think they would be caught, were thorough about their customers, but paid less attention to themselves. Thanks to this, branches along with the main branch were robbed one after another and caught.
It’s really absurd. Even the reason he was caught.
‘What? You thought you were a guest because you gave a similar password?’
In the end, he only believed in himself and acted sloppily.
I’m annoyed and want to get rid of them right away, but they’re still overflowing with utility.
“More than that. You left one?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Here…”
One of the twin dwarf artisans politely presents an item that is finely piled with cloth.
Even though it was wrapped in cloth, the woman gulped and accepted it at a size that was not formidable.
“This is…”
“Yes, it is a model of Holy Son Si-Woo Han.”
“Ha…”
The tightly wrapped cloth unravels.
What was revealed in it was a 20cm dildo.
The woman smirked and started laughing.
“Yeah, that’s good. Very good. I think it paid off for freeing you guys.”
Leaving the relieved twin dwarves behind, she trudged towards her bed. As she properly touches a few contraptions, one side of the wall opens soundlessly. Inside were dozens of dildos she had collected so far.
“Whoops… ♥ This is over here…”
Smart.
“Excuse me, he said he’s on his way…”
“Tsk. Why is that person now?”
The three of them acted promptly in response to the report from the court lady outside.
The twin dwarves sneaked out through a secret passage, and she quickly hid the secret closet.
Soon after, the door opened and a man in his early 40s, the first prince of the Glazer Empire, entered.
“Oh, are you here?”
“I’m here, ma’am.”
The princess laughed at the first prince’s words.
