Chapter 959 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (17)
I knew it had been quite a while, but a lot more had passed than I thought.
He hadn’t expected that the night would pass and the day would be completely bright and the sun would rise above his head.
“Are you awake?”
I had covered myself with a blanket before the palace attendant came in, but I removed the blanket without hesitation, saying that I would drink water myself.
Swallowing the water in one gulp with her upper body exposed, she stared blankly at me with her face still flushed red.
“Yes…Your Majesty…Um…I can do well this time.”
Nod- nod-
With her eyes fully open, she even doesze off to see if sleep is rushing in.
The languid voice that mumbled that he would tighten it up well and the way he seemed to try to drive it off by rubbing the back of his hand with the back of his hand forcibly rubbed his eyes that kept closing were pathetic.
I put my hand over her eyes and said.
“You can rest now.”
“More… Yet…”
“Haven’t you done enough? Don’t you remember how good you were just now?”
“To?”
“Now I know how to loosen and tighten it quite well. You did very well. I’m satisfied with it. So, get some rest.”
At the end of my words, without her answering, she sighed and fell asleep.
It must have been tiring to match it to my rhythm, so I needed to let it rest in peace.
To be honest, I had a lot more stamina than I expected, and I had poison.
Even though they said it was okay to stop because I had endured this enough, I maintained my mental strength like an evil barbarian, saying that I would learn enough to be satisfied.
“Your Majesty, shall we raise a meal?”
“Once you’ve washed up.”
“Yes!”
Didn’t you start from yesterday evening and not eat anything until the sun rose in the middle of the day, and only teased your waist?
Thanks to this, a woman who only knew how to tighten her clumsily learned how to tighten it deliciously.
She was a style that was better at letting people learn by experiencing it with their bodies rather than trying to explain it with words.
I’ve injected that much into my body, so I’ll probably never forget it.
There were a lot of things that were buried here and there on my body to wash lightly, so simple washing did not solve the problem.
When I came out after washing my body, the bedroom was already tidy.
“Who was here?”
“I prepared a separate shelter and moved it there.”
“You did something useless. You could have just left it.”
“I apologize.”
Just because she had been her concubine doesn’t mean she’s still her concubine, so it must have been a bit of a stretch to keep her, her soldier, in my place.
“When he wakes up, feed him well and tell him to rest.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
I didn’t forget to ask him in case he was forced to go to the battlefield with his body.
“If she insists on doing her job… Yes, let’s change her affiliation to escort the crown prince. Let it be communicated like that.”
“Yes.”
She was the woman he held with the thought of attaching him to the crown prince anyway.
Aren’t you the woman who came to help me?
Her admirable mind and sorry for the situation where she couldn’t reciprocate are sorry, and I need to make arrangements for the crown prince.
⁘ ⁘ ⁘
“I’m really fine now! It’s all better!”
“Your Majesty, but you’re still preserving your body…”
“Didn’t the therapist say it’s okay and you can move now? Why do you keep telling me to rest more? Where is my pain?!”
It was true that she collapsed from shock and had only recently recovered.
It was natural for the courtiers attending the crown prince to be terrified.
“Even a small person doesn’t object like this if you’re just wandering around. He was shocked and fell ill and barely recovered. Why are you trying to go to a rough place already?
“Think about it. How much will Obama be disappointed by this incident? The Prince passed out because he saw some blood.”
I had to show Obama that I had recovered as quickly as possible.
“I have to prove to Obama as soon as possible. That the crown prince of this country is not a weakling!”
“Oh, there’s no way His Majesty would think of such a thing?
Hearing the palace attendant’s words, the prince let out a deep sigh as if frustrated.
They don’t know
As much as Obama loves herself, the burden weighs on her shoulders.
“I’ve come to my senses with this incident. I won’t insist on being drunk on my abilities like I used to.”
“If so, would you stick to His Majesty’s side? Aren’t you going out and wielding a sword on the battlefield?”
“Yeah. I think I’ll have to adjust first. I can’t show you fainting again.”
You still have to adjust to the horrors of the battlefield as a nightmare.
That’s if you really want to hit the ball.
“I realized that to do big things, you need to be careful and patient.”
He realized that even if he acted hastily for no reason, he would only end up hating Obama.
I won’t do the stupid thing of making the same mistake over and over again.
This time, I was going to show my ability to Obama with patience step by step.
And it wasn’t long before the prince’s decision was proven right.
“You woke up soon though.”
The emperor did not particularly prevent the crown prince from coming to the forefront where the war was taking place.
“I’m sorry. I showed you a bad look.”
“I’m still young, so I can.”
“…”
He couldn’t be treated like a child forever.
I wanted to hear from Obama that they are all grown up and reassured.
To do this, you must act calmly.
“I’m sorry. Even if you didn’t expect it, you wouldn’t have wanted to see such a disappointment…”
“When Jim saw the war for the first time, like yours, his heart raced and it felt like someone had hit me in the back of the head. It was hard to recover for a while.”
“Abama Mama?”
I can’t help but be surprised at how weak I can’t imagine.
“Haha! It seems you can’t imagine.”
“Because Obama has always been a great person to me. I didn’t know that he could be so weak.”
She always thought of herself as someone who would stand firm in front of her and protect us.
It was so impressive to see such trustworthiness, and I heard that the soldiers prayed that Abamama would be an incarnation of God.
It wasn’t something anyone could do.
No matter how great he is, he will never surpass Obama himself.
“It’s like the first time. It’s never easy to accept something new that you don’t know anything about.”
Obama put her arm on her prince’s shoulder.
The crown prince, who had grown up before he knew it, had grown enough to put his shoulder on.
“You too are here by overcoming many firsts. And you have grown even more this time.”
“…I just thought Obama would be disappointed.”
“There are no parents who are disappointed when they see their children growing up. Parents are concerned about where their children are injured when they fall. Maybe once you start a family and have children, you will be able to understand this feeling now.”
The prince couldn’t help but lower his face in shame.
She had a dim realization of how clumsy and crappy her complacent idea of rushing into the battlefield in the hopes of impressing Obama was.
“Please trust and watch over us a little bit. Even if you fall down and get hurt, you can get back up again.”
“I know how you feel. I’m still rooting for you.”
“Coming to think of it, it seems that Obama always says that he supports us.”
“I cheered you hard even when you took your first steps.”
“…”
For some reason, emotions surged up at Obama’s words.
After hearing her say that no matter what failures she has, she will never be disappointed, she will not be disappointed, she will be worried, and her confidence has also increased.
“We’ll do well this time too. We’ll get through it.”
“Yeah, I’m thinking of putting one person next to you instead.”
“A person?”
“If you fall down, isn’t it a place where your knees end up? Prince, you are a precious successor who will lead the empire in the future. For safety, I want to have a reliable person by your side.”
“If that can reassure Obama, I will follow.”
And Obama introduced me to someone I had already met once.
“Isn’t this the one who was Obama’s concubine?”
“Yes, I came all the way here with you.”
“Is this person watching over me?”
“Yeah, he asked me to keep you. I’m glad he said he was more than happy to do so.”
“The crown prince is degrading. I’m lacking in skills, but I’ll do my best to protect you.”
She was already a woman who had been guarding the crown prince under the orders of the empress until she came here once.
She hadn’t seen her swordsmanship in person, but she couldn’t let Obama take on the task of entrusting the crown prince to anyone.
It would be a good thing for her to be active on the battlefield, but there was nothing as important as protecting her crown prince, so she readily gave her permission, and Obama emphasized to her crown prince to trust her.
“You must trust her completely if you go directly in front of her on her battlefield.”
“Yes, Obama.”
“Of course, I don’t mean to send you to the battlefield right now.”
“I didn’t mean to be ridiculously stubborn either. I will slowly learn war here. By the side of Obama.”
“Yes, that mindset is enough.”
Obama stroked her crown prince’s head proudly.
The crown prince, who felt much lighter in her heart, smiled comfortably at the stroke.
“Let’s go into the meeting together starting today. If you attend, you will learn a lot.”
“I won’t bother you!”
From then on, the emperor always took the crown prince by his side, telling him step by step what war was and allowing him to experience it.
It was natural to have the meeting attended, and even though they did not directly fight, they were allowed to observe the war from afar.
And the crown prince did not tolerate the questions that naturally arise while experiencing the war by the emperor’s side and asked him.
“Soja seems to be able to cross the castle enough, but why are you retreating?
“You’re right. We’ve had many opportunities to destroy that castle since before.”
“But why don’t you capture the castle?”
“We are waiting until they are mistaken.”
“Are you mistaken?”
“Now, if we take that castle, we will be able to benefit. But if we wait a little more patiently here, we can cross over that castle and take away more.”
The war may seem sluggish because we still have to be patient, but this whole process is another fight.
“Who catches the other person better. That’s the fight. Haha.”
