Chapter 593 – Ep.591 Tullius Empire
After accepting the 1st prince’s offer.
The prince, who was suddenly in a good mood, like a manic patient, told me various stories and even occasionally asked me about my life in the desert. Then, naturally, we had a few glasses of wine with each other.
“This!! “Did something like that happen?”
“That’s right.”
The prince’s face is colored like a ripe apple, and he is reacting very violently to what I am saying.
“They say goblins rule in the forest where the orcs have left… “That’s exactly what it is!!”
Our prince, who was very drunk from only two bottles of wine, slammed the silver cup he was holding in his hand and shouted.
“Once my prom is over!! Smith, we will completely eliminate all members except you.”
For reference, the story we were talking about just a moment ago was about our Roan and the damn members.
“Ah, of course, I’ll leave the new members entirely up to you.”
Widely! Widely!
The prince looked at me with very deep eyes and patted my forearm a couple of times before smiling.
What. Why.
Why are you laughing all of a sudden?
… I wanted to say it coolly, but there was more to be gained from him than I thought, so I just smiled and nodded.
‘But this guy seems like he’s pretending to be drunk?’
His behavior was clearly that of a man soaked in alcohol, but if I were to interpret the conversation I had with him just a moment ago as an aristocrat, it would be as follows.
-If you present a satisfactory performance to me at the prom, I will remove the things that bother you.
Well, I think it can be roughly interpreted like this.
That’s right too. I reported Roan and the other members’ actions that were beyond deviant, and our prince seemed very angry and shouted at me. Even though it would be difficult to change the whole thing since the prom is right around the corner, the most problematic Roan could be dealt with right away, but the fact that they left it until the prom was over made me suspicious.
“Prince. “I think it would be best for you to stop eating now.”
“Hmm… “I definitely drank more than usual.”
Oh my god.
Two bottles of wine is too much drinking.
The alcohol content wasn’t even that strong.
If my sister or Siran drank it, it was so strong that they would have hit their heads with a bottle, asking where they got the water from.
“Lord Smith.”
“Yes. “Prince.”
“From now on, call me Marvicus. “I don’t want to hear you call me a prince.”
“Is that okay?”
“Hehe, of course. “I gave permission to call my name, so what’s the problem?”
“If that’s the case… All right. “Mr. Marvicus.”
“Haha!! Okay. Hmm, it feels a little strange to hear your name called. “I guess I’m drunk.”
For a moment, I felt very bad and got goosebumps on my back. What was it?
“Hello!!”
Marvicus, wondering if he was really drunk, shouted loudly, and the servants who had been outside followed his orders and came rushing back inside.
“Have one person bring it and the rest clean up the place.”
“”Yes.””
The boy and the servants who were a little older than him started moving around and tidying up the place. And I was able to confirm one fact with my own eyes.
‘Hey, hitting on time is an art.’
From the looks of it, people who were not servants were standing next to the cart and were busy giving orders to the other servants, laying down empty plates. And children like Oren, who looked like they had servants as their parents, were running around busily, holding several plates in both hands.
‘Meanwhile, he is the smallest.’
Oren is the smallest among the servants.
I was wondering why I kept looking at that guy, but I guess it was because the small freckles around his nose reminded me of my sister.
‘But I can’t help you outright.’
I assure you, if I say a few words to the prince right now, it may be convenient for the moment, but the moment I get into trouble with the prince, it’s not just empty words; some part of Oren’s body could actually be twisted.
“Do you like that kid?”
“… Yes?”
I’ll have to bring you lots of donuts later… Marvicus asks a question that puzzles me, who was thinking the same thing.
“Okay. “I am the one who was sent as a messenger to invite you today.”
“Yes… That’s right.”
“Haha!! “What are you ashamed of?”
Who? Me?
Was there anything more embarrassing than that?
“We are already members of the Cradle of Night, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.”
‘… ?’
A lot of question marks rising from the top of my head.
“Hmm, but in addition to having a great body and face, your eyes are very unique, right? Hello. There.”
“Yes. “Prince.”
“Okay. You. “Come here.”
While I was momentarily confused, Marvicus called Oren, who was busy carrying dishes, and made him stand in front.
“What is your name?”
“My name is Oren.”
“Okay. Oren.”
Marvicus looked at me with a smile that made me want to punch him and patted Oren on the shoulder.
“If there is a need for me to send someone to you, I will send this child.”
I got so angry at his gaze as if saying, ‘You know I care so much about you, right?’ That I almost slammed my fist into his face. For some reason, it seems like this, so I have to give her a bottle of Siran’s breast milk as a reward for putting her hands down on the table in advance.
“Thank you.”
“If you’re really grateful, I’ll have lunch with you tomorrow.”
In fact, this bastard is probably using advanced tactics to torment me. You’re forcing me to waste my precious time targeting the remaining three knight leaders. This bastard is clearly a devil.
“I would be happy to invite you.”
However, a little while ago, in the process of accusing Roan and other members of our group, I exposed the fact that we were playing around every day, so there was no justification for refusing.
‘Fuck, I have to make an appointment with Bizelin as soon as I get home.’
With the promise made to Irina and Lord Melbourne, she couldn’t refuse the prince’s offer, but if it were the Archmage and Duke Bizelin, she would give up too.
“Haha! Okay, I guess I’ve been holding on too long for today, so let’s see tomorrow then.”
And I was able to leave the palace, whether it was white jade or white stone, wearing Oren thanks to the prince’s consideration rather than consideration.
“Lol.”
Perhaps because he got out of work, he seemed very happy.
On the other hand, I was very dizzy due to the night’s cradle.
‘Fuck, I heard there’s something bothering me.’
I was very curious as to why there was a guest room instead of a private room in the place where people drink and hang out, but I never thought I would find out its purpose in such a terrible way.
“Lord Smith! “Lord Smith!”
The guy came jumping up with his eyes sparkling as if he wanted to ask me something else. I fed a little honey chestnut to that guy’s head.
“Ahh!!”
“You’re so loud, dude.”
The guy who was surprised by my sudden honey balm pressed my lips to his with a very shocked face, and I roughly placed him next to me and quickly returned to the office. Although I was quite annoyed by the passing glances from the female servants and nobles.
Kwaang──!!
“Omg?!”
When I kicked in the office door, Roan, who was sitting in my chair, was startled and jumped up from his seat.
“Nothing happened, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right… ?”
“Why is it a question?”
“Oh, nothing happened.”
“Okay. Great job.”
-Ahh?!
I roughly threw Oren, who was holding him by his side, onto the sofa and looked at his face closely.
“Why, why are you doing that?”
“No. Just.”
I unintentionally looked into the abyss, and I felt very uncomfortable seeing you in it… I couldn’t say that.
“Lord Roan.”
“… Yes.”
“Would you be happy if I patted you on the shoulder?”
“…”
I felt a strange sense of relief when I saw the guy’s face, which was so wrinkled and wrinkled like a newspaper that it couldn’t be helped.
“Go out. “Open your face”
“… Yes.”
The guy quickly left the office, almost as if he was running away, looking worried that I might catch him again.
“You also.”
“… Yes?”
I sat down on my chair in front of the desk and said this to him.
“Just eat a little and then go back when you feel like it.”
“Uh… Well, thank you…”
“Okay.”
The guy, who was very depressed after being hit, carefully opened the box he had placed on the table.
“Wow… !!”
He quickly smiled happily as he put sweet donuts and bread into his mouth.
And.
“Hehe, goodbye!!”
After emptying half of the box, he left the office, forgetting that he had hit me.
**
“Wow, it’s hard to waste time.”
During the remaining time, I tried to think of new objects to make, and I stopped by the chat room to see if any seniors who had gone far enough to get ingredients were there, and I tried my best to spend the time fruitfully.
Well, that didn’t mean time passed quickly.
As a bonus, I was slightly looking forward to a visit from the new driver leader, but unfortunately, the driver leader did not come to visit even after work.
“Uh…”
“… ?”
While I was waiting in front of the castle gate for Caramel, who I had promised to meet today, in civilian clothes, a woman with short hair approached me and started talking to me.
Absolutely!!
At the same time, heavy metal sounds are heard from behind.
“Don’t come any closer.”
“If you come one step closer, I will cut off your ankles.”
“Heek?!”
Two knights suddenly burst in, drew their swords, and pointed them at the neck of Yeo-seok, who was approaching me.
“Well, my name is Nella from Rosante Transportation!! “The person in front of you is the newly appointed Commander of the Knights of the Blue Rose, right?!”
“However?”
“I was waiting for a letter from a woman named Mi-Mint!!”
“Mint?”
“Yes!! He said if I tell him his name, he will definitely recognize me!!”
Her face turned white and her earnestness made me nod and I spoke to the two knights who were pointing their swords at her neck.
“Thank you for protecting me. But it’s okay now, so let me go.”
“Yes. “Lord Smith.”
The two knights saluted me very politely and then returned to their original positions. And a woman named Nella, who was free from the threat of the two, sighed in relief and handed out her plain envelope and some documents.
“Please sign that you have received the letter.”
“Can I just write my name down?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Nella kept glancing behind me and shaking her body, and when I finished signing her name, she held it tightly in her arms and walked away from me.
“Well then, good luck!!”
She got on top of the carriage that was far away, and in an instant she drove away with her horse.
As I watched the carriage moving away, I opened the envelope in my hand and checked the contents inside.
Well, most of yesterday’s story was filled with unnecessary rhetoric, such as saying I was sorry for what happened, or saying I had fun, etc., But it was only as the letter was ending that I was able to read the real content it was trying to say.
And to briefly summarize the really important content, it was like this.
-Caramel, who was supposed to meet today, heard yesterday’s story and took too many sedatives, so she collapsed from drug addiction and was unable to come out.
Well, that was roughly it.
As a bonus, she ended the letter by saying that she and Cinnamon were working today and that if anyone wanted to meet, they should come by.
“Uh? “Isn’t it Smith?”
When she turned her head at the familiar sound, she saw Irina in her civilian clothes trudging towards her.
“Is there such a coincidence…” … ? Haha.”
Looking at the reaction, it seemed like it was definitely not a coincidence, but I nodded appropriately. For some reason, the drivers overreacted.
“Well, what are you talking about… ? It’s fate that we met like this… “Shall we have dinner together?”
“OK.”
“No, bar, you can’t do it if you’re busy!! Haha… Uh?”
“Aren’t you busy?”
I parted her lips and gently grabbed Irina’s hand as she swallowed her saliva and pulled her towards me.
“Uh, what…”
Even though I could endure it enough, Irina unnaturally sneaked up and stood next to me.
“You called for a carriage, right?”
“Uh? Uh, uh, yeah…”
“Okay.”
I was already thinking about whether I should just go home, but if he came on his own like this, how could I refuse?
‘I just happened to want to ask you something.’
I thought it would be a perfect day if I could stop by the cradle of the night on the way back without arousing suspicion.
