Chapter 240 – 25. Escaflowne.

“So you’re asking me to meet Duke Yuri?”
“Well, to put it mildly, yes.”
“Hmm….”
Seorae glanced at Aran slightly.
Aran said he had to meet Duke Yuri for everyone’s sake, but he honestly couldn’t believe it.
He came all of a sudden to a distant country and asked to meet the duke. It was for everyone. No one will believe
“It’s not that I don’t believe in myself, but I don’t know what your intentions are. By the way, she is a married woman.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“But. I was also a married woman.”
“It wasn’t, and you’re still a married woman.”
“No. I kicked her out of her, so I’m not a married woman now.”
“What… It doesn’t matter anyway… Anyway, I have something to talk about when I meet him.”
“… Didn’t it just run over or something?”
“No.”
Maybe you can get in, but not once.
It’s just that they’re trying to get rid of anything that could become a threat later.
“It’s not difficult, but… I mean, it’s a woman….”
“Are all nobles women anyway?”
“That’s right.”
I just don’t like it.
“Duke Yuri will come tomorrow anyway, and there will be a banquet, won’t it?”
“A banquet?”
Aran reacted to Soyi’s words.
A party out of the blue?
I can’t believe I came here secretly, but I don’t think I’m going to punish you for welcoming you.
“There was a rebellion in the province, but this time Duke Yuri subdued it.”
“Aha.”
Thank god. I didn’t welcome you unnecessarily….
“But if it’s a banquet, I can’t attend anyway?”
“Why?”
“Because Your Highness came secretly.”
“Ah… You said that.”
“It’s okay. You can transform into a woman to convey.”
“That….”
It’s a good and simple way since her face her is not widely known yet.
However, the problem is that Aran doesn’t like it.
“I’ll use that method later when it’s really unavoidable.”
“Don’t you just want to see it in person?”
“Right. And talking about it in public is a bit like that.”
“?”
“?”
“?”
The eyes of the women quickly focused on Aran.
“… Why do you look at me like that?”
Moae pursed her lips and Hancock let out an unpleasant voice.
“What would a man and a woman do if they couldn’t do it in public?”
“I know, right. What is it?”
“What?”
“Even when I look at it, my sister-in-law is an unscrupulous woman.”
“No… It’s not what you think.”
“What are we thinking about?”
“That… It’s not like that anyway.”
“I can’t believe it. His Highness would n’t do such a thing.”
“Even if the world is distorted, we must speak up.”
“Moae, at that time, you say ‘even if your mouth is crooked’.”
“If my mouth is crooked, it is the same as if the world is crooked.”
“Speak like a horse. Princess disease.”
“Huh. Why don’t poor Gong Yoo get breast surgery at least? Let me introduce you to the wizard. Stay locked up in the hospital room for the time being.”
“There’s no reason to do it because you’re already voluptuous.”
“That’s the idea of sharing.”
“… It’s everyone’s idea.”
“I hope you think carefully about the meaning of your nickname.”
“I don’t want to hear that from the princess soldier.”
The conversation, as always, becomes a mess.
Alan felt relieved.
With Mo-ae and Hancock, A-ran will blur the flow of her feelings even if she does something that becomes a hot topic.
Are there any better women than this?
“Now I see, you stupid sister. Sister, and Mr. Hancock, please be quiet. The topic of conversation keeps getting blurry.”
“Gong Yoo says something strange.”
“The princess soldier says strange things.”
“They are both the same.”
Soyi looked straight at Aran.
Even when she came to catch Attica, she couldn’t meet her eyes her, so what kind of change of mind did she have?
“Please be clear. Duke Yuri is a very important person to our empire. No matter how much he is a brother-in-law, he can’t let me meet such a person for personal business.”
“Oh, Soy speaks well.”
“… That’s what her mother was supposed to say.”
“It doesn’t.”
Certainly, as Yuri is called the greatest sword of the empire, it is not hasty to permit contact with a person from another country, especially the king. No matter how much he is the consort of the princess.
“Well… It’s a bit complicated….”
Aran knew that too, so she couldn’t come up with a different answer.
In order to tell the exact purpose, I had to tell Yuri and his true identity his, but I was quite worried about whether I could do that now.
Regardless of Yuri’s true identity, how will the women view Aran when it is revealed that he is not human?
Seorae was especially caught.
If his relationship with Seorae goes wrong and he becomes resentful that a non-human guy has violated his and his daughter’s body his, there is no answer.
“I can’t give you permission if you don’t tell me.”
“Yes. Cheer up, son-in-law.”
“….”
When did the power pass to Soyi….
Aran felt that he couldn’t get over it with clumsy words.
‘Okay. Anyway, people here will find out someday. It’s a bit early, but….’
Aran finally made up his mind.
I coughed out of strange tension.
“Hmmmm… First of all, there’s something you should know.”
“What?”
“Please speak.”
“I am not an ordinary human being.”
“I know.”
“Of course. You can’t be a normal human being.”
“Oh no, so… Because I deviate greatly from the category of ‘human’ commonly accepted in society.”
“Because I know. Your stamina is out of the norm.”
“I don’t like it, but I do.”
“No….”
How should I express it?
After thinking about it for a while, Seorae asked.
“What do you mean? Are you saying you’re not human?”
“Human… It wins, but it’s not normal.”
“Okay. Because you know that Why do you keep saying things that are obvious?”
“….”
Aran felt she had to say the direct words.
“I am human, but I have the power of Vampneel.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Bamgnil? Are you referring to that vampneel from the legend?”
“Huh. I cheated so much that I ended up going crazy. It’s all a punishment for messing around with World Heritage.”
“Yes? Your Highness is Vampneel?!”
Each of the women reacted differently.
“Yes. That vampneel from the legend is right.”
“Would all vampires be extinct?”
“Before extinction, existence itself is a legend. It may or may not have existed.”
“That’s what humans think.”
“… Hancock, aren’t you human too?”
“Ah, yes.”
“….”
As expected, Hancock with no fuss.
“But let’s say you’re Vampneel. Then what are you going to do with the Duke of Yuri? You’re not going to ask or something, are you?”
“If that’s the purpose, I’ll never let you meet.”
“Of course not.”
“Huh. I can’t believe it. Even if you didn’t mean to, you might try to bite them when you meet them. I can’t believe that my brother-in-law is Vampneel in the first place.”
“Your Highness really has no intention of doing that.”
“How do you know that? Don’t say weird things like your wife’s feelings.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. You’re like a princess and don’t even have basic common sense.”
Hancock fanned his index finger, revealing the veins on Soy’s forehead on her.
“If your goal is to eat glass dukes, then why do you bother to ask everyone and talk about this and that?”
“What do you mean?”
“Just what… If you bite the emperor, everything will be over. Then I can sleep with all the women and nobles in the imperial palace.”
“Exactly… If you bite me, that’s it.”
“This… You! Don’t say blasphemous things!”
“I am disrespectful. I’m just giving you common sense.”
“It’s arrogant for Gong Yoo to mention common sense.”
“I don’t want to hear that the princess soldier is arrogant.”
“Anyway, please listen to me to the end.”
Aran made the women quiet.
“I am Vampneel, and Duke Yuri is the Vampire Lord.”
“… ?”
“?”
“?”
Eyes gathered again raising a question mark.
“That… What else are you talking about? Are you going to harm me now?”
“It’s not slander. It’s the truth.”
“Anyway, Duke Yuri is a vampire lord…..I still don’t believe he’s a Vampneel.”
I believe it, but I can’t believe that Aran said that before.
“I guess so. But it’s true. She’s I’m a Vampneel and she’s a Vampire Lord. She seems to know who I am, so if she I don’t move first, she she’ll be eaten.”
“That is difficult. I can’t be without you.”
“… I don’t really like it, but well, my sister and my mother… So, I don’t like that either.”
“And we need to find out why she, a vampire lord, is mixed among humans.”
“If you think about it that way, your brother-in-law can’t escape that logic. They said it was Vampneel.”
“I am a case of becoming a Vampneel from a human. She is different from her.”
“Anyway, our son-in-law is Bamgnil, right? Then I can understand the unhuman strength and energy.”
“Certainly, Your Highness’s stamina is abnormal.”
“It’s not abnormal.”
Fortunately, the women did not show any frightened reactions.
It’s like you don’t believe it yet.
