Chapter 168 – Chapter 42. Origin.
Returning to the ducal residence, Princess Elizabeth told the Duke of Balkan that it had been concluded that she had never been married to the hero Kang Ji-hyeok. The duke, who had been silently looking at her daughter, got up from her seat, approached her, and slapped her.
ㅡㅡ!!
“A bad year.”
The princess’s heart trembled at the sight of her father’s staring eyes. She lowered her head as if apologizing.
“I’m sorry, father.”
“You said you were confident. … But you can’t even bite that guy?”
At the word “That guy,” The princess suddenly felt a surge of repulsion. Kang Ji-hyeok was never a person to be treated like that. Her princess thought that at least she was a much greater person than she and her father.
The duke turned around and hit the glass on the desk with the back of his hand. It hit the floor, spilling its contents and breaking into pieces.
“The four years dragged on time, so all the good marriage positions were gone. … Now go to the seat I have assigned you. Okay?!”
“… Yes, Father.”
“Go. Because I don’t want to see you.”
Elizabeth bowed her head slightly and left the Duke’s office. She went back to her room and sat there blankly.
… After you get married, you won’t be able to work as a warrior. Marry a man you don’t even want to have, give birth to a child, and live confined to the house for the rest of your life. All of my colleagues are leaving now…
When she thought about it, she suddenly felt so unfair and sad. The princess fell on the bed and cried.
It was the first time in her life to be a hero. It was hard and difficult, but there were still many memories. The camaraderie she developed with her co-workers is now like family to her.
I didn’t want it to end like this. … I didn’t want to spend everything I’ve built up to this point, maybe I’ve achieved throughout my life, in vain.
… But I couldn’t help it. She had no other choice. Because the princess was no different from the duke’s property.
Hero Elizabeth lived in a state of enchantment for half a day. She occasionally visited her mansion to say hello to her subordinates. She tried to pretend to be normal as much as possible as a princess, but she couldn’t completely hide her emaciated appearance.
“… Are you really okay?”
An Orc colleague whom the princess trusted asked. She said, of course, and even showed her smile.
“Of course. I do not know? I am an Elizabethan warrior. So don’t worry, I’m taking good care of the kids until I go back. Understand?”
“I see, chief.”
“Okay. … Thank you for coming.”
When her colleague passed away, Elizabeth the Soldier suddenly became depressed. And she said that a few days later she was going to marry the Duke, so she said let’s meet in advance. She was a princess, she felt sick to her stomach, but she didn’t care, she smiled and said she knew.
The next day, after the princess was lavishly decorated, she got into the carriage with the duke. She was to meet the person she was going to marry.
The duke said, looking at the princess with her cold expression. … However, that one word was very shocking.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a concubine position, right?”
ㅡㅡ!!
The princess’ faint smile was shattered at once. … Are you a concubine? It was like a thunderclap.
“… Father, that’s… What are you talking about?”
“Anyway, I think this is a good thing. It’s just a place reserved for you.”
“It’s not a concubine. No matter what, I am the daughter of a former duke.”
“The opponent is the prince. So even concubines are fine. This place is much better than the crony seats of the nobles who don’t make it. Don’t talk, just do it.”
Elizabeth was drained of her strength. She was terrible This place was like a terrible hell. Rather, it seemed that the demon scene where the demon protrudes would be better.
The two soon arrived in front of a luxurious mansion. There was also a carriage with the imperial seal stamped on it.
The duke and princess got off the carriage and headed into the mansion. Even then, the princess was in a daze. … There was a strong sense of discrepancy.
I’m from Yongsan. I, I’m definitely Yongsan…
Today, this long dress was so awkward and uncomfortable. The waist dance without a beloved sword, which was valued as precious as life, was empty. Captain—-I longed for the call of her and her colleagues who called her warmly. Every time she moved, she could hear the rustling of straw, but it still reminded her of the bed in the inn room, which had a cozy atmosphere.
Now she had no sword, no companions, no bed in her inn room.
Obviously, I’m in Yongsan…
The duke and princess were guided by the mansion manager to the drawing room. Sitting there was a pot-bellied, half-shaven middle-aged man. At first glance, she looked like the Duke’s age.
“Ah, welcome, Duke.”
“It’s been a while, Your Highness.”
The two held hands and exchanged greetings. The princess also smiled and pulled up her dress slightly and bent her knees slightly.
“Nice to meet you, Your Highness. … My name is Elizabeth Dolores.”
“Nice to meet you, Elizabeth. Did you say you were a warrior?”
“Yes, I am a C-class hero. You’ll be in B-class soon.”
The 4th prince laughed. You’re young and pretty, but there’s a warrior. It was obviously a valuable item that was not easily obtainable.
“I like it.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Princess Elizabeth was strangely humiliated and sad. She felt like she was being judged on her goods. I really hated the shady and eerie gaze of the 4th prince who looked over her body. … As far as her princess knew, the child of her 4th prince was almost the same age as her. The feeling of being sold as her concubine to a man of her father’s age was so terrible that she couldn’t describe it in words.
Suddenly, the warrior Kang Ji-hyeok became resentful. Princess Elizabeth felt that he had sold her here.
But she couldn’t complain. She had to laugh For her family, for her father, and for herself.
The three sat down and talked. Of course, the duke and the 4th prince mainly talked, and the princess only occasionally answered the prince’s questions. It wasn’t my intention to appear discreet, but somehow it happened. The 4th prince also seemed to like it a lot.
After such a light conversation, the duke left the drawing room, leaving the two of them behind. The princess’s heart skipped a beat. Not out of anticipation, but out of anxiety.
“Elizabeth.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Come over here and see.”
The 4th prince showed her languid smile and pointed her hand at the seat next to her. The princess hesitated a little, then got up and sat down next to him.
Then she suddenly roared, and thunder thundered from the sky. Then it started to rain like a downpour.
The 4th prince looked at it for a moment, then moved her gaze back to Elizabeth. He took her tiny hand first.
“It’s pretty. Are you holding and wielding her sword with this hand? … I can’t imagine, huh?”
When the princess held her hand to her prince, her body strangely stiffened. She was very upset, but stayed still.
“Your father and I have talked. The seats are all set, so all you have to do is come in.”
“… Yes.”
The 4th prince’s thick hand began to go deeper and deeper. She fidgeted with her arm at first, then she climbed onto her thigh.
Of course, the princess felt uncomfortable and pulled her leg out to the side slightly. However, the 4th prince was persistent.
“What’s the matter. Huh? It’s something you have to go through anyway. … Are you a virgin? So you’re ashamed, huh?”
“No, this is…”
“It’s okay, my dear. I will soften you.”
Princess Elizabeth really hated it. She hated it so much that she wanted to slap the prince right away. What does she dare to do?
His hands were about to reach deep into her thighs. Her rebellion intensified.
“… No, I do not want. Don’t do this.”
“Anyway, you will be my descendant. It’s all going to happen later. … Just touch it for a second.”
Ah.
The gongnyeo had a really terrible sense of shame. Did I become a warrior for this?
Is this the end of me? Does it end like this? Did I become a warrior for this? To be sold to a pig like this? To give my precious virgin to this bastard?
“Would you like to touch mine too?”
The prince looked down at his swollen groin. Ah. The gongnyeo was really upset there. She was insanely gross and repulsive.
“Hurry.”
He grabbed her wrist with a stern expression. Then he put her hand on his groin.
The princess felt snakes wriggling and crawling all over her body. So she stopped and pulled her hand out of her wrist. Then she jumped up from her seat and took a few steps back from there.
“What are you doing now? … When I say nice things, come and sit down, right now. It’s an order!”
“… Please, don’t do this.”
“Are you going to disobey Giabi?”
She never wanted anything like this. She didn’t want to live like this. I didn’t want to suffer under that pig’s body.
The princess ran out of the living room. She and she left the mansion, but the duke and carriage had already left in the torrential rain. … Her father left her daughter here.
At that time, the 4th prince waddled her overweight body and waddled out to the front door. He approached her with a slightly angry expression.
“Come to me. Hurry. Aren’t you coming here?!”
The prince grabbed the princess by the wrist and dragged her. She was drawn helplessly to him. Tears flowed again. Pig Prince smiled sullenly.
“… I’ll make it good So don’t worry too much.”
Gongnyeo suddenly thought of Kang Ji-hyeok, the hero. Then she shook off the prince’s hand and started running again.
“Aren’t you standing there?!”
The prince shouted loudly. But she ignored it and started running in her rain. Her whole body was wet immediately. She could see the tall mansion door. She said to open the door immediately. The gatekeepers opened the door without knowing why.
At that time, the escorts who came out later told me to hurry up and capture the princess. But already she was completely out of her front door.
She ran Her dress snuggled around her legs and she ran holding her skirt high. She threw off all her high-heeled shoes.
Her hair in the pouring rain, her face, all messed up. If anyone else sees it, they’ll surely think it’s a bitch.
Her cool sense of release and her quivering anxiety hit her at the same time. But she was already there and there was no turning back.
After running for a long time, the princess arrived in front of the mansion of the warrior Kang Ji-hyeok. She thought he was the only one who could help her. He was the only way she could get out of her father’s shadow.
“Open the door. Hurry. Come on!”
The princess beat her behind bars. The gatekeeper, who had been hiding in a small building to avoid her rain, came out. He asked who he was. She revealed her identity. Of course, the gatekeeper couldn’t help but be surprised. Because that arrogant princess has become like a drowning mouse.
As soon as the door opened, Elizabeth started running again. She and she went inside the mansion. Upon hearing the news, her caretaker, Durka, greeted her with a surprised look on her face.
“My lady, what the hell is going on?”
“… Call Jihyeok Kang, the warrior. Hurry.”
Her appearance, dripping with rainwater, was absolutely not normal. Durka informed the owner of her mansion about this by having her maidservant in her wake.
Hearing the news soon, Kang Ji-hyeok came out to the front door. When he saw the princess standing in a shabby state drenched in rainwater, he hesitated for a moment before approaching again.
“Elizabeth.”
The princess suddenly burst into tears. She was embarrassed to show him her own ugliness. So she turned her body around.
“Me… , Just for today, can I take care of you?”
“Of course.”
“Thank you.”
Jihyeok winked at the maids to quickly heat up the bath water. And he took her to her corner. Just like the prince did earlier, Jihyeok grabbed his wrist, but strangely, he didn’t feel any resistance at all. … No, maybe he was hoping for something like this.
“What happen?”
“… It’s nothing.”
Jihyeok shut his mouth. The princess struggled to hold back her tears.
“I just got lost on the way. So, wait, I saw your mansion, so I just came here.”
The princess spoke gibberish.
“So, nothing happened.”
“Elizabeth.”
“Yes.”
“What happen?”
Suck… !
Princess Elizabeth finally couldn’t stand Jihyeok’s gentle question and burst into tears.
And he told me everything that had just happened. … Strangely, I wanted to tell you. I wanted him to know this stuffy inside.
“Me, what do I do now? I’m actually scared You disobeyed your father. … But, I really hate that. I really don’t want to go to that guy. Hero I want to continue. I just want to be brave.”
Hero Elizabeth cried, and she said so.
“I can only think of you. So I came. I have nowhere to go. Me… , Can you help me?”
Jihyeok hugged her warmly and patted her on the back.
Ah…
At that warmth, the princess sobbed like a child.
Jihyo whispered softly.
“I will help you. Don’t worry. I’ll help you, Elizabeth. Do your best.”
Her drooping arms rose up and she hugged him tightly.
She cried in his warm arms.
