Chapter 194 – 18. The Princess Is One, Two, Three, Uh… ?
‘It’s no joke.’
A gorgeous space that will take your breath away.
The twinkling lights on the chandelier make it hard to know whether it is jewel or glass.
Ornaments that are densely furnished and fill the space.
It was an incomparably grandiose sight.
It was said that it was a small-scale engagement ceremony with only a few hundred people participating, but the truth should have been realized from the number of people. Even if this was a wedding, it was so huge that it would have been unnecessarily grand. In the meantime, there are a lot of people.
The reason itself can be understood with a little thought.
It is steamed.
Now, this man is a member of the Glazer Imperial Family, an act of spitting.
‘It’s not my part-time job.’
Siwoo Han murmured a laugh inside.
Whatever the Emperor’s motives for doing this, he will spread his influence by shooting from place to place.
Perhaps there were times when the actions were in line with the emperor’s intentions, but there were probably more times when they were not in his opinion. Personally, this is the direction he wants more.
With a sigh, I leaned my back against the railing.
“Whoa.”
Sitting in the rest area on the terrace, Siwoo enjoyed a moment of leisure.
He doesn’t know how many people he’s dealt with since before.
It’s harder than greeting and dealing with the VIPs at the graduation ceremony of the warrior training camp.
At that time, everyone was new to each other, but now there are people who have met once or twice.
Dealing with them is also not an easy task.
‘It would have been a big deal if Elaine hadn’t helped me.’
He looked at the pink-haired three saints who were talking with nobles on one side of the ceremony hall.
Today, she played an active role as a secretary and assistant for the Han Siu Harem Cartel.
She acted skillfully as an assistant, not as a saintess, but as a secretary by her side.
She was Elaine, who was selfish enough to be called a tomboy or a foolish saint, but she was intelligent and was clearly enticing important people in each country. She and she always helped Siwoo whenever he was in trouble. It was done secretly so as not to offend her partner.
And she is dealing with his guests in place of him, who is now resting.
Elaine was not a saint today, but a secretary of the harem cartel.
“Yo.G.S. What are you doing~?”
“…Sharina.”
“Siwoo-sama♡”
Sharina, the princess of the Kingdom of Palania, secretly approached him.
It’s a shame that she turned her back to the wedding hall, but if people saw her face, she would be surprised by her female expression.
“Hehe. How does it feel to be engaged?”
At her words, Siu smiled.
“What answer do you want?”
A mean answer to a mean question.
Sharina lowered her tail right away.
“It would have been nice if I could have been engaged to Siwoo-sama too…”
“Why?”
“Yes?”
“After breaking off the engagement, just look at the timing and just get married.”
“Ah…♡”
An easy-going princess whose expression slightly hardened by the previous words was relaxed and immediately flirted.
She glances behind her, surveys her surroundings, and clicks her tongue.
“I don’t know why there is so much interest in people who are taking a break.”
“I’m glad it’s soundproof magic.”
“I was going to kiss you lightly because Siwoo-nim’s ingredients were lacking, but whoa.”
Seeing Sharina stretching her shoulders as if she had died, Siu giggled.
She feels it often now, but it was something she could not have imagined just two months ago. She probably wouldn’t even have thought that she would become like this in the future, even Sharina at the time she was. When she thought that, she remembered the princess on the bed and got an erection.
‘Ugh. Let’s be patient.’
It’s chagrin that her relationship with Sharina is still a secret, and secretly doing such a thing with another woman on the day of her engagement is on her conscience.
“A little bit. No, wait one more week. I’ll be back soon.”
“Yes, I will! My mother is also eagerly waiting for Siwoo.”
“Haha.”
Hearing the reason why Charperia didn’t come, he laughed.
I can’t even see the engagement ceremony.
When she thought about it, she wanted to go back and hug the cute milf queen.
“Yes. I want to see you too.”
After speaking, Siu looked around the hall and stood up.
Now is the time to slowly go back.
“Then I’ll see you later, Siwoo-nim.”
“Yeah… Oh.”
Siwoo stumbles to the side as if his foot sprained while moving forward.
The women who were watching him from the outside reacted in unison, but it is only natural that Sharina, who was right next to him, was the fastest. The moment she caught Siwoo, startled by her surprise, Siwoo also pulled the princess.
“…?!”
“Side.”
“Ah…”
In a brief moment, lips meet and fall.
Sharina panicked and turned her attention to her wedding hall, but she noticed it belatedly.
‘The curtain… !’
Vision is blocked
Quickly turning his head to Siwoo, he smiles mischievously and winks at him.
“Do you think the ingredients have been supplemented?”
“…Yes♡”
“Then let’s go.”
“Lol.”
Siwoo, pretending to be supported by Princess Sharina, comes out of the terrace together.
As soon as I got out of the resting place like the unwritten rules of the social world, the royal family and nobles who were waiting around me flocked to it. While worrying about Siwoo together, they looked at Sharina next to them with envious eyes.
‘Still, I don’t feel like paying much attention.’
After all, there is a person who is said to be engaged, and rumors are spreading that they are deeply in love, so it is clear that they are all vigilant. Rather, they were busy guarding and checking each other.
Sharina also felt that and laughed inwardly.
‘What will everyone’s reaction be if they find out that I’ve already done everything with Siwoo?’
His mouth is itchy, but he’s not stupid enough to mess with his plans because of his greed.
Putting off her pleasure for later, she gave him over to Elaine, who appeared leisurely while protecting Siu.
“Siwoo-nim, let’s go quickly.”
“Am I late?”
“Little bit!”
Actually, it wasn’t too late at all, but it was very effective in shaking off the women around him.
And you also need to be prepared.
The main purpose of this party is to prepare for the engagement ceremony.
“I’m nervous.”
“Are you nervous too?”
“Hehe, I do too. Aside from the crowds, I think this will be my first and last engagement.”
“Usually, engagement ceremonies only happen once. But, are you really going to do it only once?”
Elaine asks while looking down at Siwoo, who is getting her makeup and grooming done.
There is a glimpse of longing and longing in her eyes.
Elaine also had little interest in events like engagement ceremonies. However, seeing this kind of appearance, it seems that events like this have a magical power to stir the hearts of the viewers. The kind of magic that makes you want to do it yourself.
“Why? Do you want to?”
“Yes, yes? What, that’s…”
“Is there any need to bother with the engagement ceremony?”
“…Then will you marry me first?”
“Haha, as expected, it doesn’t work on Elaine.”
“I wondered what kind of conversation you were having on the terrace, and you were joking around like that.”
“Are you serious?”
Siu shrugged her shoulders.
Soon, she heard the maids around her asking her to stay still.
“Hmmmm. Am I serious?”
“If you’re going to do it one by one, you’ll have a hard time arranging the order.”
Elaine tried to be calm, but couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from smirking.
Siu thought as she looked at the saintess who kept covering her mouth as she twirled her fingers through the tips of her hair.
“Really, all my girls are cute.”
“…You spit it out of your mouth.”
“Oh, yes.”
“…♡”
While Siwoo and Elaine were chatting and chatting, the ladies-in-waiting finished their work.
“It’s done, Siwoo Han’s wife.”
Neither married nor betrothed, but sire.
It seems that they have excellent political sense, perhaps because they are not personal maids but maids belonging to the imperial family.
‘Or I heard from someone in advance.’
“Thank you everyone.”
“No. This is what we do. You can come this way.”
“Huh.”
Siwoo stood up from her seat and followed the lady-in-waiting, turning her back.
“Aren’t you going with me?”
“I’ll just stay here.”
Like an idiot, I didn’t ask why.
Instead, she was grateful to them just for coming this far.
The engagement ceremony began in earnest like that.
As expected, the ceremony proceeded with a sense of colorlessness to say that it was brief, and the engagement proceeded while Siwoo was attracted to it. It seems useless like a royal engagement, but politically important things are visible here and there.
For example, congratulatory speeches by emperors, empresses, and other royal families.
For Siwoo, it was just annoying.
After about an hour of skirmishes, the really important moment finally arrived.
While everyone at the venue watched, the man and woman who promised to marry became close.
“Si, sir Siu…”
“What, Helena?”
“Ah.”
“Weren’t we talking?”
“Yeah, but it’s an official act…”
Her nervous expression is evident, and she whispers a little and looks around her.
Siu said to the princess.
“What does it matter? This is not an event between the princess and the hero. It’s an event between you and me.”
“…Yes♡”
Seeing Helena smiling brightly, Siwoo felt relieved inside her.
‘Fortunately, he seems to have calmed down a bit.’
I can’t quite understand it, but under the name of imperial tradition, the two haven’t had a conversation since this morning. Even though they were obviously in the same place, if one moved, the other had to move away so that they could keep their distance.
In fact, there is no problem up to that point.
Part of the problem is that Helena doesn’t look very happy in the morning.
I couldn’t figure out the reason even after asking around, but now it seems to be getting better.
“Then, there will be a gift exchange ceremony between 3rd Princess Helena and Siwoo Han’s father.”
The moderator said.
Helena flinched briefly, shuddered, then glanced at her maid next to her.
What would you have prepared?
As it was an interesting event in its own way, everyone’s attention was focused, not just Siu.
And several ladies-in-waiting brought a large wardrobe.
“…?”
Unexpectedly, there were wheels at the bottom of the closet, so the ladies-in-waiting dragged the closet alone, but judging from how much it was pressed down, it didn’t seem to weigh too much. Also, it didn’t seem like there was anything other than clothes in the closet.
‘Clothes. Is it a more acceptable gift than I thought?’
“Hey, open it…”
Helena, who continues to exist, whether she is nervous or has forgotten.
Siwoo opened her closet with anticipation.
“This…!”
The contents were not one or two.
Almost a dozen pieces of clothing.
However, it wasn’t the number of clothes that surprised Siwoo.
“If you marry me…You can look forward to it…!”
“This… Definitely looks forward to it.”
Siu stared into the closet and answered.
I see familiar yet unfamiliar clothes.
Police uniform. Nurse uniform. Stewardess uniform. Even the Santa suit.
Of course, it’s all women’s clothes.
In other words, Helena meant that if she married him, she would often wear this kind of clothes for events.
Haha.”
Unlike Siu, who was delighted, most of the guests reacted with excitement after seeing her contents. It is a gift that is so unfamiliar and unexpected that it is ambiguous for them to evaluate it. However, people in the know rated it as not bad.
“Certainly, male warriors like things like that.”
“Really? Hwang Bo-hyuk…”
“Not Murim or Continent. People from Earth.”
“Ah, that’s right. Come to think of it, the other day too…”
When the surroundings started to get a bit noisy, Siwoo took out a small box from his bosom to calm the atmosphere.
It’s quiet again and attention is focused.
In fact, they were more curious about Siu’s gift than the princess’s gift.
“Open it.”
“Yes? Oh, yes.”
What is Siwoo’s gift that he prepared a long time ago?
Princess Helena opened her box with anticipation and was shocked.
“Si, Siu?!”
“Are you going to finish it?”
“I-that’s…!”
“Couldn’t it be?”
“There’s only one pink necklace like that…”
“El’s heart, gulp.”
Helena also swallowed her saliva at the whispers around her.
El’s heart.
It is the name of the necklace and artifact that Gwak Yong, the last saint before Siwoo, gave to his lover.
“Is this… Really for me…?”
“Yes. I took it out beforehand.”
“…”
Embarrassed, she mumbled her mouth, then carefully opened it.
“Give me this…”
“Helena.”
Flinch.
“I don’t know why you’ve lost so much confidence lately. You’re the iron-blooded princess, Helena Glazer. You’re the third princess of the richest country on the continent, and you’re an ambitious, talented person who created a faction with your own strength. And…”
Han Si-woo swallows without finishing his words.
But Helena understood what he meant.
‘The woman who will become the next emperor of the future.’
“Thank you, Siu.”
The princess lifted her tiptoe.
The first kiss was sweeter than I thought.
