Chapter 7 – 0. The President’s Male Prostitute (7)
It was 8:00 PM, after a storm had passed.
Deciding to skip dinner, I sat quietly on the grand staircase on the second floor of the official residence. It was because I didn’t want to burden them while listening to the conversations of the employees who were enjoying a noisy meal for the first time in a long time.
“Adele, did Jungwoo really not eat?”
“You seem to have no appetite.”
“It’s disappointing, but I mean you worked hard.”
The conversation between the two women, who had tea time while standing in the hallway, was interesting. Helga, who serves as the chef at the official residence, was also Helga, but Adele, who is also a parlor maid and housekeeper, was particularly concerned about conversations during the day.
“The other kids liked it, too.”
Helga patted Adele on the shoulder. It was a really nice look. Actually, her appearance with her rich, curly blonde hair braided up was like a Frenchman, so if you add a bit of exaggeration, you could call it the stereotype of a French maid.
“How was Adele?”
“It was delicious. As always.”
“It’s been a while since His Excellency has been away, so everyone is feeling more breathless, right?”
On the other hand, what about Adele? Her blunt personality, to the point where even that amiable Helga was embarrassed, seemed to have taken the German stereotype.
It’s not wrong, I would have really thought of it that way had it not been for the elf’s distinctive high ears.
“Please refrain from rash words. There are many ears in the official residence.”
“How are you? That’s the truth.”
The atmosphere of the official residence, which was always rigid, was relaxed in front of Beatrix’s absence. I returned to her room, leaving behind Adele, who was talking nonchalantly with her smiling Helga.
Certainly, at this moment, the Führer’s residence was free.
The women in the kitchen chattering happily.
The women in the hallway chatting with their backs against the wall.
Even the women downstairs who spend their leisure time playing musical instruments that they didn’t turn on well.
You can feel it when you close your eyes and open your ears. For the first time in a place where so many people stay, the quiet mansion smells of people living.
Yes, that’s it.
Does Beatrix really know? A world without her is so beautiful. Even for the peace of those outside her door, I would continue to fight her. So she sat down at her desk and scribbled on the problem at hand and worked out tricks.
It wasn’t easy. Because an hour has passed. But now that I’ve impersonated an eagle owl and made the black orchestra my own, I’m sure I’m steadily approaching the death of the queen. Furthermore, based on the memory of the previous life, it was possible to establish a strategy and figure out what actions to take.
First is freedom.
Needless to say, what I needed right now was freedom. In order to bring down that queen, meticulous preparation was required, and at this point, when she did not even have a suitable hand, she was in need of a wider range of maneuver.
Some of my employees must have been ordered to monitor my every move. Even if I only identify them, I can move without any burden. At least, like today, there will be no jokes to save the lives of the Moritz couple.
“…… Jungwoo Ball.”
Suddenly, I felt a presence outside the door. It was an unexpected visit.
“May I come in?”
Fortunately, after hearing the voice, I knew who it was. There was only one employee in the official residence with such a low-pitched, calm voice. Elisabeth, a brave knight of the old kingdom and now my bodyguard.
“Please wait.”
Traces had to be erased. I quickly tore open the notebook in which I wrote the lines and brought an ashtray that had been put away on the other side of the desk. I don’t like smoking, but I had a box of cigars and a few matchsticks in my room to destroy evidence.
“If you’re busy, can you come back later?”
“No, I will open it soon.”
The torn paper was folded in layers and set on fire. He took out a thick cigar from the box and put it in his mouth. Old-fashioned people who do not use lighters sometimes burn cigarettes with waste paper or newspaper. So at least it won’t look weird.
“Yes, you may come in now.”
Visit was held. Before long, what came into view was a woman taller than 2m. Even though she looks untidy at first glance, her stylish bobbed hair, small horns rising from between them, her androgynous face, and a solid body that can be felt even on a sleek suit.
“Were you smoking?”
A woman who boasts the best health beauty in the official residence approached me.
“Yeah, just pull it for a while.”
A haze of smoke filled the room. It happened because I didn’t even open the window and started the fire right away. Covering her mouth with her sleeves, the cold-blooded Elisabeth opened the window, saying that the chimney would be better than here.
“You think about your health. You’re still living in seclusion.”
“Well, please keep it a secret from Beatrix.”
The paper on the ashtray burned black. Only then did I catch my breath and put the cigar down. She slowly rose from her seat to greet her, and, startled by her sudden dizziness, she staggered and fell on her face.
“Ugh.”
Damn nicotine! Imagining the impact of the hard marble floor, I closed my eyes tightly.
“…… ?”
And soon, what greeted my face was the arms of a woman.
“You have to be careful.”
Elisabeth Mi Teyear, in that short moment, she took my body and helped me up to her bed. I put my forehead on my forehead with a very worried look, and brought her face to see if she had a fever.
Her cool, refreshing scent emanated from her. It smelled like mint.
“Are you not injured anywhere?”
Gulp, my mouth watered. And it came to my senses later. To think that a guy who used to be rudely supported lays down on the bed and even drools. And that too, with the woman in front of me, who was constantly worrying as she touched my forehead.
“Jeongwoo ball? Did you bury anything on my chest?”
“Mi, I’m sorry.”
Realizing the current situation, I hurriedly turned my head. Even if they misunderstood, it was a situation where they could live very well. My face was very hot, and I was afraid that it might be seen as a strange intention, even though it was not for that purpose.
“Did you fall on purpose?”
“…… Really innocent.”
Elisabeth, who asked while tilting her head, eventually approached with a grin. She whispered in my ear as she unbuttoned her tie and her coat.
“Your taste is very unique. I didn’t know that a bum like me would be interested.”
Damn, no.
“Of course, I’m only welcome to flirt with a handsome man like a ball.”
How does the atmosphere flow strangely? I’ve had encounters with women who have approached me in this way in the past. At that time, I was very devastated, and I fell in love with a reliable woman like Elisabeth and ran away together.
The result was a brutal catastrophe.
It also seems that the trauma of that time will go away. The variable of emotion in this work is not welcome. Revolution is a great cause that only those who have nothing to lose, like me, can complete. It’s never a good sign if you embrace others within the circle of being your own person.
However, the scent of this bodyguard who came close to me is trying to lead me to such a wrong choice again.
“Hmm?”
The sunlight coming through the window glistened in Elizabeth’s eyes. Even in this world, the dreamer woman, who was said to be a rare race, had their unique patterns imprinted on her eyes, and she made those who looked at them admire them very much.
“Those eyes, somewhere…….”
“Ah, you don’t come over easily after all.”
“What?”
I was puzzled as I stared at it. It’s already halfway over, but I wondered what he was talking about. Even so, Elisabeth was clearly disappointed, perhaps taking my reaction seriously. Then, as if she gave up soon after, she smiled and stepped back.
“Sorry. I was fascinated by it because I was curious about how the ball would react.”
“Attractive?”
Belatedly, a clouded mind flashed.
― The more you look into their eyes, the more you can bring out their lust.
Yes. The women in the official residence were all women who were subjected to tangible and intangible pressure from Beatrix. And that’s how trustworthy Elisabeth was no exception.
― That’s the fascination. It is the unique power of our species.
I had slept with this woman in my previous life. Even if the love affair didn’t happen according to each other’s wishes, we’ve developed to the point where we can talk casually. So, there were times when I exchanged stories about my hometown and the power of the tribe called Dream.
“Wait a minute, Miss Mittemeyer.”
Fascination is passive seduction accompanied by coercion. Can a mediocre bodyguard recklessly be charmed by a man who is treated virtually like a government official?
No, it can’t be.
There was a thought that flashed through my mind. Basically, all employees in the official residence do not cross the line against Beatrix and me. So right now, even during the day, we didn’t talk about Adele’s comment alone.
But what kind of trick did this woman try to bewitch me with?
Spy!
Yes, that would make sense. If Elizabeth had come to me on Beatrix’s orders. Fascination is not a disrespect, but an order.
“…… I’m sorry all of a sudden, but could I hold your hand?”
You were suspicious of me, Beatrix.
“Yes? Are you talking about your hand?”
Certainly, the me now is different from my previous life. Seo Jeong-wu on March 13, 1942 was a nerd who lived confined to the corner of his room. Since I suddenly changed so suddenly, there was no way that the quick-witted queen wouldn’t find it strange.
How far do you know
Shouldn’t wake up yet. The link between the eagle owl and Seo Jung-woo, the secret of soloist Otto Moritz, and our background black orchestra!
“Well, here it is.”
Elizabeth held out her hand without knowing why. As I lay on the bed, I put on her rough, rough hands and pods. She felt the pulsation coming from her clasped hands and looked into her eyes politely.
“Elizabeth, I like you.”
Great. Just like Beatrix did.
“So, if what you’ve done is sincere, please tell me.”
“You mean what I did?”
Liars usually talk a lot. However, Elizabeth only pretended to calmly ask back. There was no unusual trembling in her hands holding her pods, and her eyes were still steadfast.
“A fascinating word.”
“I apologize if you were offended.”
“You don’t have to apologize. I was just worried that someone would do it for me.”
Where should I go in a direct way?
“Didn’t Beatrix tell you?”
“No, I just wanted to shake your heart once.”
It is quite high. I, who lack insight, cannot distinguish between true and false with only this amount of information. It bothers me to answer right away, but that’s just heartbreak.
“Is that true?”
“Really.”
I can’t help it. Let’s apologize first.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to doubt it.”
Let’s watch the reaction some more and throw some bait.
“But Beatrix, because of her…….”
The mad Führer at the end of his obsession was a good excuse under any circumstances. Elisabeth looked pitifully at me as I averted her gaze with a melancholy expression.
“I heard that these days, the two of you are not the same as before.”
“If that’s the case, I’d rather be happy.”
“…… Jungwoo Ball.”
Yeah, it worked out better Keep taking care of me like that. Even so, I was thinking of distinguishing the employees in the official residence as soon as possible. If you are a truly innocent woman, I will kneel down and apologize later. So please allow me to play with you for now.
“Could you come to my room tonight, unless someone told you to?”
I don’t like it, but my relationship with you will be a signal to identify the spies planted by that queen.
“I heard from the daily workers that you are planning to sleep with His Excellency today.”
“Yes that’s right. And I’ll hit the wind. I want to play with you as if to show off to that great Führer.”
No matter how much she neglects me, she will get angry if I play with another woman before sleeping with her. Here, Elisabeth claims my innocence and innocence, but I still don’t believe it. This dream woman is definitely a spy sent by Beatrix.
Would it be embarrassing?
Let’s say you’re really interested in me and bet on me. If that’s really the case, then I wouldn’t refuse this offer. But what if it was done on someone’s orders?
My conscience will prick me very much. Face my false innocence and feel guilty.
“Are you trying to make me jealous?”
“Being a friend is fine. I just need someone to lean on.”
“…….”
Speak the truth, Elisabeth Mittemeyer. Decide where you will be with your lips. If you want to hang out with me, even risking your life, I will admit it. Even if I consider him a bodyguard who cannot control his impulses, I will no longer doubt him.
“Will it be difficult?”
“What’s the difficulty in being friends?”
If it’s an ally, I’ll keep it nearby and use it to broaden my range of maneuver. If it’s an enemy, it’s even more so, so I’ll prepare for the future to come.
“But…….”
Elizabeth closed her eyes as if struggling for a moment. Unlike Beatrix, she had her own human flaws, and no matter how much she went through childbirth, she had room to penetrate to some extent.
“Phew, this doesn’t suit my personality either.”
Before long, she decided to do something about her, and she pulled my body. Leaving her hands in her pods intact, she grabbed her shoulder with her remaining hand and straightened up.
“I’ll just be honest. What His Excellency ordered is correct. He told me to hold on to the ball by any means and methods.”
“…… I knew it.”
“But it wasn’t a lie to want to shake the ball’s heart.”
I snorted and untied the pod I had been wearing. Elisabeth sighed at the sight of me, then took out a small device from my chest and held it in her hand. The device was a mixture of magical text and mechanical circuitry.
“Jeongwoo ball.”
Kwajik! Smoke rose. Crushing what was in her grasp, she spoke her words. After dropping the shattered object on the floor, he trampled it with his shoe.
“This is a desolate official residence. You wouldn’t know how deeply impressed we are by the person who treats us humanely like a ball in such a workplace.”
“What is this?”
“This is the wiretapping device Your Excellency gave you.”
“…… !”
I was astonished. Elizabeth was now disobeying Beatrix’s orders.
“A phone call will arrive here soon. His Excellency says that someone has been tipped off that the ball is hiding something. My job was to detain the ball that might run amok and bring it to safety.”
“Miss Mittemeyer!”
“Yeah, maybe you’ll be properly scolded, right? If I get kicked out, I’m lucky, and maybe I’ll die. I know that, but seeing Gong’s expression, I couldn’t stand it. It is pitiful to see him isolated and suspicious of everyone in a faraway land.”
Suddenly, the phone in the room rang terribly.
“I like handsome men. An affectionate man is even more so. So, please don’t be too suspicious.”
I felt like I had been hit properly. I felt ashamed of the fact that I treated the women of the official residence like tools. And before the feeling was over, I had to pick up the loud buzzing receiver.
“If there is a chance, let’s be friends next time.”
Elisabeth took a few steps back and focused on her. Far from despising herself like this, I received her call shaking as she encouraged her.
“…… I am Seo Jeong-woo.”
“Jeong Woo.”
“Beatrix.”
“If you want to cheat on someone you love like that, use it.”
The wiretapping was real.
“Why did the Moritz couple beg for help again?”
Perhaps the bodyguard behind me said the same thing.
“Really, you did a good job of making things fun.”
“Who is the report from?”
“Is that important?”
“…… No.”
“The performance of the Bruhlin Symphony Orchestra will be canceled soon. If you have any last words to say to your friend, do it now.”
“Didn’t the Moritz couple promise not to touch it?”
“I didn’t promise, I gave you a warning.”
The swelling rises.
“I will test to see if I have the ability to do so.”
The fist that I didn’t even think about to clenched is naturally clenched.
“Where do you try?”
And the phone hung up.
