Chapter 880 – Ep.878 the Collapsed Empire
At that time, Smith was talking with Marvius and Irina.
“I’m glad to see your face brightening.”
“Yes… “I think it’ll be okay to stick around like usual today.”
“Right?”
As Lili’s eyes sparkled, Roro timidly nodded her head.
The atmosphere was pretty good until we crossed the border forest.
Yesterday, or more precisely, the day before yesterday, Smith’s face hardened and the situation was so bad that the twins had to be nervous.
Because of this, everyone was very cautious when dealing with Smith, although they did not show it outwardly.
Of course, there were people like Marie Elle that she didn’t notice at all.
“But is that shiny little girl your master’s wife?”
“Boo, I think it’s one of her wives.”
“Weird… “Master, I’m sure you like females with big breasts.”
Did you say everything is relative?
Marvius’ chest was by no means poor for his age, but because the companions he was accompanying were so huge, by the twins’ standards, Marvius’s chest was practically non-existent.
“Well, I said it was the princess… “Couldn’t she have taken the wife’s position based on her status?”
“What is a princess?”
“Uh, uh, that, that, position like the Absolute?”
“Lie! “A weak kid like that?”
“Oh, no… Everything here is different from us…”
“Oh, I did.”
After calming down her excitement, Lili let go of Roro’s cheek, which she had been holding on to while scratching her cheek.
Roro pouted his lips at the reddish handprint left on his pale blue skin, and Lili, sensing her younger brother’s sullenness, opened her mouth to say something.
“”… ?””
The two, who basically had hearing that far surpassed that of humans, stopped chatting outside, which had suddenly become noisy, and looked back at the stairs.
Again. Again.
The sound of shoes gradually becomes clearer.
“Who, who?”
“Mo, mo, I don’t know… ?”
The twins swallowed their saliva as the other person’s momentum became increasingly clear as the sound got closer.
However, because there was just a commotion outside, the twins were nervous but did not flinch from fear.
And finally, the owner of the footsteps appeared from the end of the stairs.
“Wow…”
“Look, you can’t look!!”
Lili made a sound that was either admiration or sympathy with a very complex and subtle expression, and Roro desperately tried to cover Lili’s eyes.
‘What, cultural difference? Oh, it’s not like that… It is clear from the book that although the languages are different, the aesthetic sense is similar…’
“Excuse me… “No, I do.”
“Hi!!”
When a human female dressed in an outfit that was too embarrassing and shameful to put into words stopped right in front of me and looked down at me, Roro was so shocked that he hid behind Lili’s back out of habit.
“W-what?! “What did you do to me, to my sister?!”
Lili, who suddenly regained her sight after having her eyes covered by Lili, is a twin, but in order to compensate for being born a little earlier, she is very… He showed his teeth at the human female wearing an amazing costume.
Of course.
‘… ?’
Melbourne, dressed in an extremely outrageous costume, was just taken aback by the reaction of the pretty little blue-skinned demon twins who suddenly bared their teeth and growled at me.
I didn’t feel any threat.
“I heard that your husband is here. “No, I heard it.”
“Father… ?”
“Lord, are you your guest?”
When Lili looked back at Roro, Roro asked Melbourne.
“If his name is Mr. Smith, then yes.”
“Uh, now, wait a minute…” … Ah, who, who are you… ?”
“Melbourne.”
Roro quickly nodded and ran towards the closed lounge door.
Then she whispered something to the door, ran behind Lili’s back again, stuck her head over her shoulder, and said,
“W-Please come in…”
“Thank you.”
“Oh, no…”
Melbourne walked past the twins and knocked on the break room door.
With Smith’s voice telling him to come in, he opened the door and disappeared inside.
“Are you okay? “What happened to you?”
“Oh, no… I was so surprised…”
“Well, if a crazy bitch like that suddenly came up to me, I would have punched him first.”
Although Lili was a demon and did not like violence very much, this time she nodded and agreed to Roro’s words.
“However…”
“Oh, probably not!”
“Yeah, right?”
“Yes!”
The twins looked at each other and nodded repeatedly.
I earnestly prayed that the female human’s outfit was not to the taste of the master she was supposed to serve.
**
A heavy yet awkward silence fell in the break room, where many conversations had been taking place just a moment ago.
Then, I raised her head once again and caught the sight of Melbourne standing calmly with her completely dead eyes.
‘Where on earth did you get something like that?’
It was okay to wear a slightly modernized top that a maid would wear, with her shoulders and chest clearly exposed.
The problem is the excessively short skirt and the sheer… The problem was the panties with a cute rabbit picture on a pink background, which girls of kindergarten age would really like.
‘If I were to wear that with my usual uniform, I think I would have looked quite ugly due to its unexpected charm… There’s something wrong with doing that so openly… Something… That’s right…’
Melbourne’s eyes are so shameful that their souls seem dead.
Strangely, I put aside for a moment the feeling that I could clearly read her inner thoughts, and turned my head to look at Irina and Marvius one by one.
“…”
Irina is desperately looking away from Melbourne, as if she would fall under that terrible curse that she should never see.
“Hmm, was the silence followed the problem?”
Marvius is muttering something incomprehensible and evaluating Melbourne’s outfit in his own way.
It seems that if you want to break this silence, you have no choice but to step forward yourself.
“Lord Melbourne?”
“… “I am no longer a knight or a nobleman.”
Melbourne, whose eyes were dead in a different way from yesterday, responded calmly.
Since he seemed to be accepting this situation, I decided to accept it as well.
“Melbourne.”
“Yes.”
“What brings you here?”
“… “Because Her Majesty the Princess called.”
Marvius?
I lightly pinched the cheek of Marvius, who was still nodding his head while looking at Melbourne’s outfit.
“Mwu?”
“They say the princess called Melbourne. “Because I haven’t heard the reason yet.”
“Oh, am I leaving that couple out?”
“I don’t know what that is, but it seems that way?”
Her slightly muffled pronunciation combined with her youthful appearance made her look even more adorable, and I smiled slightly and let go of the cheek I was holding.
“Hmm, it’s nothing special. “I have decided to make Melbourne your personal servant.”
“A servant? “Melbourne?”
“Okay. Isn’t it impossible to give them a sword if they don’t have the will to fight? But I can’t help but feel guilty about not being able to protect my eldest sister, so I have to atone in this way.”
Rather than atonement for her, it seems that he did it to somehow encourage the helpless woman to pick up the sword again, but since I can’t know everything about Marvius’s intentions, I nodded at her for now and turned my gaze back to Melbourne.
‘Well, I guess I can discuss the attire with Marvius and change the skirt somehow.’
Rita and Ruel, who were originally serving me, were already busy following orders I gave them, so I was wondering if I should keep the twins by my side.
Even if it’s only a month?
It may only be that much, but if you have Melbourne, who has not only skills but also trust, you can have him by your side with peace of mind.
“Please take care of me in the future. Melbourne.”
“… Yes.”
Slurp.
‘Wow.’
Melbourne suddenly got down on one knee, and her panties, which were already visible, were openly showing off.
However, the pink bunny panties caught my eye for a moment.
Melbourne very carefully grabbed my left foot with his remaining right hand.
… Side.
He placed his lips directly on my dusty shoes.
“Hey, Melbourne. “I swear with my heart that I will be your faithful servant.”
“Yes, yes.”
Is this really okay?
Even if you swear like this, it doesn’t mean you can’t be reinstated as leader later, right?
When I was thinking that.
“Mr. “There is one thing I would like to suggest.”
“Tendinous?”
“Yes. Please also make the knights who bowed their heads with me last night, knowing nothing of the subject and daring to pay for their sins with their lives, as your servants. Just like me, they too have lost the purpose of holding up a sword again, so please show your favor and allow them to live with their duties again.”
“Uh, um, that… Wait, think…”
Therefore.
Her words were grandiose, as if she was asking to save them, but if the truth were revealed, wouldn’t it mean that she couldn’t die alone, so she would take all of her subordinates and die with her?
‘No, well, it doesn’t matter to me.’
Rather than handing swords to people who have no will to fight anyway, it is better to give them work, even if it is a chore.
Moreover, all of the members under Melbourne were former Royal Guard knights.
If you leave such high-quality personnel idle, it will be a real human loss.
‘As expected, I just need to change the skirt somehow.’
If servants wearing pink bunny panties follow me around, I too will suffer emotional damage in many ways before they do, so I think it would be best to talk to Marvius and quickly fix that.
That was when I organized my thoughts and came to a conclusion.
“Did something like that happen? You didn’t know. “In that case, it would be right to treat those obnoxious things as servants as well.”
“Your words are truly wise.”
Oh my god.
Where has the Lord Melbourne I knew gone, and is there before my eyes a corrupt knight who delights in dragging his subordinates who trust and follow him into the abyss of hell?
‘Is that outfit like that?’
It certainly doesn’t seem like it’s a bit excessive in my opinion, but it’s not to the point of being corrupted to the point of dragging the subordinates I cherished with me… I do not know. What are their standards?
“By the way, Melbourne.”
“Yes. “Her Royal Highness.”
Marvius suddenly hardened his face and asked Melbourne, who was on his knees.
“Your master is no longer a member of the royal family, but a smith. So why do you keep saying the word ‘father’?”
“… Sorry. “I will correct it.”
“Okay. From now on, call me master as if you were cutting me.”
“…”
Melbourne, who had been answering quickly, suddenly closed his mouth.
“Huh, why don’t you answer?”
“That… Lee… I will do it, hum… Is…”
What.
Was it that difficult to call you master?
Genoa and our children like to call each other master.
“Then, please call me somewhere.”
“Main…”
Melbourne bit her lip and raised her head to look at me.
“Shareholder…”
Her pale, dry lips repeat as if she hasn’t eaten anything.
“Ju, ju, juu…” … !!”
What is this that makes me cheer?
Melbourne finally closed her eyes tightly, and I quickly corrected her posture to pat her on the shoulder while saying that I was trying.
And.
“Lord, please kill me…”
“”…””
Is it because it was a reaction Marvius didn’t expect?
“Well, I will allow you to call me my husband for the time being.”
As a bonus, I got permission to lengthen her skirt as much as I wanted.
