Chapter 428 – 36. Temporary Return to the Empire
Adlen thought.
What is a date?
Since it is a very broad concept and can be easily misunderstood, it will vary depending on how you define it.
If we roughly define the scope of going out and spending time with men and women, she has gone on quite a few dates.
In her home world, she has received tribute several times due to her natural appearance.
That didn’t happen here, but she often hung out with the half-orc Otan as part of her hero party duties.
But in Adlen’s opinion, these were not dates.
‘Spending time with the man I really love… It’s a date.’
In that sense, her promise to Siwoo was her first date.
That’s right.
It was her first date.
“Get ready… What should I do…?”
She put off spending time with him because she was preparing for a proper date.
However, for a beginner in dating, how to prepare for a date was a very difficult problem.
Not only did I know nothing, but there was no one to ask.
Because of her crooked personality, she is an SS-level warrior and has few close personal connections.
At most, it’s all the party members, people around Han So-young, and some of the Glazer royal family.
Among these, each party member was busy with a vacation that was not a vacation, and their connections were outside of Glazer.
As for Han So-young, the current party, including herself, is in the Kingdom of Palania, and it was awkward to meet the previous party without Han So-young.
In the end, all that remained were the imperial family and some high-ranking nobles, but it was very ambiguous to ask them about dates.
‘I have a sense of humor too. There’s no way you’ll like it.’
Han So-young is already in danger of being taken away, so how will they react when they find out that she too has fallen in love with Han Si-woo?
It’s better not to cause such trouble for anyone.
“Because the cause itself could not be prevented…”
Adlen muttering to himself in front of the dressing table.
Even she didn’t expect something like this to happen, but who could have imagined?
She looked in a mirror with blank eyes, then jumped up from her seat and went to her closet.
‘First, let’s choose clothes.’
It was only two hours after I broke up with Siwoo.
Her son Len opened her closet with great force.
And she just froze.
‘Is this a closet?’
What filled the large closet was half the empty space, some everyday clothes, and the rest consisted of armor and combat uniforms.
Shockingly, there wasn’t a single dress in sight.
It was just embarrassing to think about for myself.
No matter how much she lived, she gave up on women like this.
“…”
Even if you look closely, you can’t find any clothes that seem to be related to dating.
With her face gradually distorted, she closed the closet door and threw her body onto the bed with a scream.
“Ugh…”
I never thought it would be like this.
There is no one in the mansion I can borrow clothes from, and honestly, I don’t want to.
So, I ended up having to go out and buy it, but I was worried about what would happen if rumors spread.
However, it is not easy to waste time messing around.
It’s already getting close to evening, so if you don’t leave quickly, the store will close.
“Ha.”
No matter how much you think about it, there is only one answer in the end.
Her son Ren left her mansion with a somewhat heavy body.
She decided to look at not only clothes but also accessories and cosmetics.
Since she didn’t know any stores, she asked her butler and coachman for their recommendations.
“Oh, you’re not Adlen.”
“… Ah.”
Did she say that the day she was going was market day?
From the first store, she ran into an unexpected person.
“It’s really unexpected to see you in a place like this and not anywhere else.”
“I guess so.”
“Hmm. I’m younger, so you can talk comfortably.”
“I don’t really want to do that.”
“Do it too much.”
The 4th princess looked sad as she saw her son Ren giving a sharp answer.
A powerful figure of the 1st Prince faction who is liked by everyone and has the divine protection of love.
Because she was so popular that she was considered one of the three beauties of the Glazer Imperial Family along with the 1st and 3rd princesses, she was attracted to people who were not friendly towards her and her attention was drawn to them.
Until now, the only male saint was Han Si-woo, who became the fiancée of the 3rd princess’s older sister. However, if the scope is expanded to include women, there are surprisingly many people who do not receive the protection.
Of course, there are slight differences from person to person, but as expected, it hardly worked on SS-level warriors.
Maybe that’s why I felt sorry for Adlen, who was on guard with such a grumpy face.
“Then let’s each take care of our business.”
Her son Ren, who found it awkward to deal with the 4th princess, pretended to be her friend and went inside to avoid her behavior.
It would be even weirder if I left the store just to avoid it.
However, even without that, the 4th princess was quick to notice.
“Ah. It’s good to be together after meeting like this.”
“… Just in case you don’t know, I’m not interested in a fight for the throne.”
“Don’t worry. Regardless of that, I want to become friends with Adlen.”
“…”
“Are you here to look at clothes? How about this? I think it will look good on you, Adlen!”
4 When the princess gave her a sneak peek, several designers and store clerks who were waiting nervously next to her came up and started talking.
Her son, Ren, who was immediately caught up in the atmosphere, said, “Wow,” And tried on her dress.
After this was repeated a few times, her wariness decreased and her son Ren became sincere when looking at her clothes.
The 4th princess noticed something in her quite serious attitude and her eyes lit up.
‘This too…’
Adlen has no interest in everyday clothes, let alone decorating himself, so he only wears armor.
Still, thanks to her natural appearance and the name SS-class warrior, she is known to many people, both men and women.
Her son, Ren, looks at her feminine dress with serious eyes. Of course, there must be a reason, and there is only one reason.
‘He’s a man. As for the men at the party, one is a eunuch and the other is an ordinary married man… Probably not both.’
Then there is one possibility.
Wasn’t there a man who rescued her from her dungeon a few days ago and came to her island with her?
‘You really are a great brother-in-law♡’
I was curious how big of a harem she would build, but I never thought she would even seduce her son, Ren, with whom she had a bad relationship.
I don’t know what happened in the dungeon, but it seems like more things happened than I thought.
“Hmm. Which one should I choose…”
“Oh my. What are you worrying about, Adlen? Just buy everything!”
“That’s right. Everything suits you, Adlen, so you won’t regret it!”
“No, I’m buying it, I’m going to buy it all…”
Her son, Ren, slurred her words and she was still troubled.
As she said, with her wealth, the cost of clothes like this is nothing more than a snack after a meal.
Knowing this, designers are rushing to promote the clothes they make.
It may have been an insignificant conversation, but it was a big clue to the 4th princess.
‘It’s a date. I guess the reason I came here in person is that it’s tomorrow. And. Isn’t the progress really fast?’
In fact, the progress between the two was not just fast, but went far beyond dating, but I didn’t know that.
So, it was surprising how she was so smitten that her son Ren even asked her out on a date within a few days.
‘Ah, I’ll definitely have to listen to this later. Anyway, we need to become closer…’
“I would recommend this one. A dress with an appropriate combination of black and gold suits Adlen better.”
4 The princess got along with her son Ren naturally with her bright smile.
Her son, Len, who was more concerned about her date than she was about the annoying girl, nodded.
I know she has some ulterior motives, but if she is the 4th princess, she is a fashionista who is recognized as the 1st princess.
I wasn’t actively persuaded by the faction, so I guess there’s nothing to feel burdened by just recommending clothes.
“Then with this…”
“Of course! Oh, there’s a necklace that goes well with this dress. There’s a store I know well.”
“Necklace.”
“Yes, the necklace. May I show you how, Adlen?”
“Then… I ask you a favor, Princess Yusniel.”
“Hehe, yes♡”
She is excited because she feels that the gap between her and her has narrowed considerably.
Even though the 4th princess and Adlen were a completely incompatible combination, they walked around various stores together for several hours that day.
“Ugh, what time is it…”
Han Si-woo looked for the watch without even being able to open his eyes.
Fortunately, there was still some time before the appointment time.
I feel like I want to sleep a little longer, but I still need to get ready soon.
“Haam. Be sleepy.”
He lifted his heavy body and stretched lightly.
I don’t know exactly when I fell asleep, but I probably slept for about two hours.
The naked Miko lying next to her seemed to be still swimming in dreamland.
Since her physical strength isn’t very good, I’m a bit curious whether she will be able to wake up on time after being tormented all night.
‘Oh, indeed. This is not the time.’
Now is the time to worry about yourself rather than Miko.
He lightly kissed the cheek of the sleeping female shaman and headed to the bathroom.
Since I was still in a half-asleep state, I first woke up by soaking my body in cold water.
“Whoa. You’re awake now.”
I didn’t sleep well, but when I came to, I felt something new.
“A date with Adeleen. Oh, my. I wonder what you would think if you saw me a month ago.”
Even though we’ve already had sex, lately I feel like dating has higher hurdles.
That made me more nervous.
What kind of outfit did Adlen wear and what kind of date course did he create?
Siwoo hummed happily and started preparing for his date.
