Chapter 64 – 07. Who Gets the King.
“Um… I guess it’s the death god.”
A soldier on horseback came out of the castle and the door was closed.
“Hmph. It’s a ploy to waste time with an unusual number. How about cutting off the head and sending it? Or making it covered in semen and sending it away.”
“Why can’t the count think only that way…”
“Yes?”
She thought for a moment
“Oh, oh my…!”
Surprised, covering her mouth with her hand.
“I-I didn’t think of that. As expected, His Highness is amazing.”
“Don’t imagine anything strange!”
“What are you talking about, Your Highness?
“Then what did you think?”
“Put cucumbers in the ass to incite the fear of the women in the castle…”
“Shut up!”
Just in case.
The soldiers who came out of the castle soon reached the camp.
She got off her horse with a tense expression on her face.
Some of her soldiers approached and surrounded her.
“Your Highness, he brought this.”
One of her knights took one of her scrolls from her and brought it back.
“Um…Is it a letter from the princess?”
“You want me to commit a crime?”
“It can’t be.”
When she opened the scroll, it contained a soft yet powerful master brush.
“This handwriting is the handwriting of Princess Ekaterina.”
Hancock glanced up and said.
“You know what?”
“Yes. She is famous. She is famous for her upright character, brilliant mind, and excellent penmanship when it comes to the second princess of Throdia. Right now, even in Persia, her writings her are traded at high prices.”
“Ohh… I didn’t know.”
Aran read the text right away.
It was more appropriate to say that the contents of the writing were secret letters rather than letters.
She and her king her, Yerina, are on very bad terms, and since her mother her has abandoned her daughter and fled, she wants revenge.
However, since she herself has no power and Aran has power, she will cooperate to capture the king.
Aran went into the barracks with only Hancock and Ramias.
“Of course it’s not the same trick. To come out alone at night.”
Hancock was the first to object.
“But there’s a point. She drags the soldiers around and when they meet, it’s all known, right? She’s a princess, she wants to be king herself, and that’s something she’ll never want.” “
“Huh. King? Whoever wants to be king? Of course, His Majesty should be the king of this land.”
“Gong Yoo knows that it’s practically difficult.”
“…Are you cheeky these days?”
“Even if Throdia is defeated, there will be no answer if the Mei Empire starts to intervene in earnest. Even Persia doesn’t want a long-term battle, right?”
Ramias ignored Hancock and spoke slowly.
“So even if it’s good, it’ll be enough to take a few areas. The princess is aiming for that.”
“Hmph. I also caught Duke Yuri in a good way. That’s about the Mei Empire.”
“Maybe with time, maybe. But I don’t think time is on Persia’s side.”
As she said, it is virtually impossible to take the entire land of Throdia.
There will be pressure from the Mei Empire, and there are not only three countries on this continent.
“Shall we just listen?”
“Majesty!”
“They’re going to meet somewhere in the middle of this place and the castle, right? I don’t think there’s much of a problem.”
“The horse is the halfway point, and it’s night, so you can’t see it very well. Besides, that alone will make you miss the king!”
“You have Hancock, right?”
“Yes? Me?”
“Yes. While I serve as bait and meet the princess, please catch the king by making Hancock go far away. Then the war will be over.”
“Ah!”
“As expected, His Highness is bright unlike anyone else.”
“Hey. Who else is not me?”
“I can’t believe I’ll mention the count’s title as a safe place. I just gave an example because there is a person I know called ‘Gong Yoo’.”
“That’s me!”
“Oh, do you admit it? It’s a lonely, futile, worthless heart.”
“Ehh. Why do you two always fight. Let’s get along a little better.”
“Hmph. How do cows and people get along?”
“I agree. You can’t get along with fried eggs.”
The two women were glad at each other.
“Anyway, since you’ve decided that, please prepare Hancock right away.”
“By the way, Your Highness, who will lead the army without me? Surely you’re not entrusting it to this cow? He’s not Persian. He’s not even a naturalized citizen.”
“I’m here. You talk as if I’m going to disappear.”
“Ah, that’s right. Then I’ll trust you and leave it to you.”
“…I was the original military commander. Count.”
* * *
It’s night.
In a way, I was playing around with the princess’ tricks, but I thought it was worth it.
The king sent Hancock, so she’ll treat her well, and the princess will only meet the two of them, so if she’s wrong, catch her.
And then you can easily open that tightly closed gate.
“It’ll be fine.”
Aran left the camp leaving the nervous soldiers behind.
Just then, the gates of the castle were opened, and a woman on a horse came out.
‘I don’t know what they’re thinking, but all of them are in our favor. Nothing bad.’
It took a few minutes for me to approach it while thinking about it.
The two finally met.
My first thought was that it was very beautiful.
Black hair that shines in the moonlight but never loses its original color, and eyes with a strange coldness.
In addition, from birth to noble energy that can feel noble at once.
As soon as a tolerable man stands in front of him, his breath his will be choked.
She said hello first
“Nice to meet you. My name is Ekaterina Lyal Throdia, the second princess of Throdia.”
Aran also greeted him accordingly.
“I am Aran Persia, the first prince of the Persian Empire.”
Even though she said ‘Empire’, she didn’t come up with a different tackle.
Normally, ‘Where are the barbarians from?’ Would have come out.
“First of all, thank you for trusting me and coming out.”
She bowed her head.
It wasn’t easy, but I didn’t hesitate.
“Shall we sit down and talk?”
She pulled out the rug she had tied to her horse and laid it on her floor her.
“You are quite careless.”
“I called.”
She wasn’t wary of Aran at all. Even the carpet on the floor was not very wide, so it was inevitable to sit close together due to the structure.
‘You’re not really trying to do what Hancock said, are you?’
I wonder if the princess has face.
“Yeah, what do you mean you want to call me here and go into detail?”
Aran went straight to the point.
She smiled lightly.
“There is something I want to check before that.”
“?”
She said, “I heard that you defeated Duke Yuri of the Mei Empire… Is it true?”
“It is true.”
To be precise, I defeated him with Hancock, but I don’t have to tell you.
“Okay.”
She nodded her head once.
“I want to be a king. But her mother hates me so much. Had it not been for this war, I would never have become crown princess.
And even now, as long as her mother is alive and well, there is no hope.”
“So you want me to hold you?”
“Yes. Yes. But I can’t just send them away. Outwardly, I have to fight.”
“In other words, are you going to take us into your play?”
“That’s it. But don’t feel too bad. It’s not a bad story for the prince either.”
“… Did you say you are the prince now?”
“Yes. When I become king, I will recognize Persia as an empire. I will say the same to the Mei Empire.”
It’s a fairly unconventional speech.
But Aran was squeamish.
“Even if you don’t acknowledge it, Persia is already an empire.”
“Yes. That’s why it’s called an empire.”
Her way of speaking her was strange.
“And, there must be something going on with the prince too.”
“For example?”
She brought her hand her to her chest her.
“It’s like my mother, for example.”
“Yes?”
Surprised.
That she can get her mother her, not even herself?
“This is advanced information, but I’ll give you a sneak peek. The Mei Empire also does not want an all-out war with Persia. So, we are preparing for negotiations.”
“….”
“In that negotiation, it was agreed in advance to give her mother to His Highness in exchange for an end to the war.”
“…… Does the king of Throdia know?”
“Whoops.”
She smiled wryly.
“Could that be? She says her mother her suffers unwanted things all her life and she must suffer. Just like I did.”
“….”
“It’s a bit old, but if you’re using it as a sex doll, it’s worth using. But she is the most beautiful woman in Throdia and she has a reputation.”
“….”
Aran felt a serious twist.
No matter how much she hates her, how could she treat her mother like that?
“Or what……. You can sell her to a nearby slave dealer. Whoop whoop.”
“… You are insane.”
“I think so. Isn’t it weird to be normal? I grew up in a family like that.”
She smiled again.
She felt like she was watching a witch.
“How about it? Isn’t that enough? She can even get a reputation for capturing a king, and she can handle a woman who was once a noble king.”
Alan stood up from his seat.
“If that’s the case, there’s no need to negotiate with you.”
Hearing the absurd story made me laugh inside, but it didn’t make much sense.
“Do you think you can catch the king?”
“Sure. Even without your help, that is enough.”
“Whoops. Will it?”
“?”
“I know that Your Highness’s henchman moved. The name… Was it Hancock?”
“… It looks like they planted a spy.”
“No. It’s just that my informant is competent.”
She looked straight up at Aran.
“Your Highness will never catch the King. Because I hid it.”
“That’s something you’ll know in hindsight.”
“I hid it as an artifact. Even a tier 6 knight won’t be able to find it.”
“… So, will you let me know if you cooperate?”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to negotiate with such a device? If you miss it now, it would be pretty painful…. It would be nice to do business with me.”
“….”
Aran glered at her for a moment, then sat back in her seat.
She smiled.
“Your Highness doesn’t have much to do. You can catch the king and organize your position in a way that is advantageous to me in future negotiations. Isn’t it difficult?”
“… Listening to it now, it sounds like you’re going to accept even Persia’s interference, right?”
“Yes, yes. If it is not very severe, I am ready to accept even a little interference in internal affairs. That’s what His Highness is doing. Aren’t you tempted?”
“….”
Alan thought hard.
Definitely not a bad deal.
No, it was a very good condition for Aran.
There is nothing to lose, but there is a lot to gain.
So somehow it felt like a trap.
“You are hesitating.”
“There is no guarantee that you will keep it. What if you only wit the king now and ignore it by ascending the throne? Then I think I’ll get some emotional scars. With anger.”
“Is that so. If so… Could you please come closer to me?”
“?”
“You seem to lack trust, so I will give you my trust.”
She put her hand on her shoulder and slipped her clothes off of her. Her immaculate shoulders her were exposed, and her breasts her were starting to peek out from her continued touch her.
“… What trick is it?”
“It is not a craft. All I can give you is this. Now, come closer.”
She wrapped her arms around Aran’s neck.
Aran was dragged in without even realizing it.
When I try to take her hand her, as it is her habit her, even though it is absurd,
“If you become my servant, I will believe you.”
With those words, a sharp pain pierced her neck.
